Chapter 36 Tea Art Competition
With a loud slap, Old Lady Wang slammed her hand on the table and immediately flew into a rage: "Who allowed you ungrateful bastards to come in?"
"Old lady, please don't say that," Lu Yao hurriedly tried to soothe her, glancing at the officers and soldiers standing nearby. "You may have said it without meaning to, but someone who didn't know would think you were trying to show off your power by bypassing the general and the postmaster. We are now the family of a criminal, so we must be extremely careful."
"Sister Yao is right," Shen Yanrong said at the right time, "Our Shen family has long been defeated. If we want our family to live a better life, we should restrain ourselves to avoid disaster."
The two of them looked worried, and in the eyes of others, they were truly doing it for the good of their family. Such heartfelt words, if they were not family, who would give such a reminder?
But to Old Lady Wang and the others, it sounded extremely harsh.
"That's not what Grandma meant," Shen Yaoming quickly explained. His tone was gentle, and he looked at Shen Yanrong with a hint of timidity. "She's straightforward and doesn't talk much. You haven't spent much time with Grandma and don't know her well enough. It wouldn't be good if you had preconceived notions and caused misunderstandings."
The implication was that not only did she express that Lu Yao and the others were not close to the family, and that they were now pretending to care about them just because they wanted benefits, she also refuted what Lu Yao and Chen Yanrong said, and explained to the people around them that they had misinterpreted Mrs. Wang's words, so that everyone should not take it to heart.
At the same time, the way he said "be careful" and glanced at Shen Yanrong gave everyone the impression that the couple was unreliable and overbearing.
Lu Yao couldn't help but give the other person a thumbs up in her heart. He was indeed the male lead, and his words and actions were indeed very artistic.
"We also want to spend more time with grandma and the others," she said, her expression changing in an instant, feeling very aggrieved. "But grandma said that mother isn't the daughter-in-law she wants, and she doesn't recognize Rong Ge as a member of the Shen family..."
After she finished speaking, she seemed to realize what she had said and quickly covered her mouth, but she was holding Yueyue with handcuffs, and the handcuffs made a rattling sound when she pulled them.
Shen Yanrong looked downcast, and looked at Lu Yao with a look of guilt: "Sister Yao, it's my fault that you and the child have suffered."
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are a family," Lu Yao consoled her. "Grandma must have some misunderstandings and prejudices against us. As long as we put our heart into it, I believe she will always look upon us differently."
At this point, she looked at Old Lady Wang with a flattering expression: "Grandma, we may not share happiness, but we share difficulties. Now that we don't have those halos, we can live in harmony as a family in the future. What do you think?"
Lu Yao and Shen Yanrong both kept their attitudes very humble, like juniors who had admitted their mistakes, and were extremely well-behaved.
But this attitude made everyone in the Shen family feel upset. Didn't they beat and scold them back? Didn't they see that the eyes of everyone in the hall looked at them differently?
Especially since these two little bitches kept pulling their handcuffs, making them rattle, which made the atmosphere even more subtle.
"Grandma, why aren't you talking? Did we say something wrong?" Lu Yao asked cautiously.
Old Mrs. Wang felt very uncomfortable and her face looked very unhappy.
What can she say?
It was absolutely impossible for her to agree to it. She was still thinking of writing the document to sever ties with him after her eldest brother got better. How could she sow trouble now and get herself humiliated?
Deny? With so many eyes watching, will the Shen family still have any shame in the future?
So, we should kick these bitches out as soon as possible and cut off all ties with them. No matter how thick-skinned they are, they won’t dare to ask for benefits from them.
Thinking of this, his mood suddenly brightened, but when he looked at Lu Yao, his expression turned cold again: "No matter what you are planning, get out of here immediately!"
Lu Yao ignored her cold expression and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Grandma. After dinner, we will leave immediately and will never appear in front of you."
After saying that, he looked at Shen Yanrong and the two children again, "We haven't had enough to eat these days. From now on, we will be able to stay with our grandmother and their father, so we won't have to go hungry anymore."
Shen Yanrong and the other two children nodded in unison and looked at Old Lady Wang with extremely eager eyes.
"Don't even think about it!" Old Lady Wang refused without a second thought: "Who the hell do you think you are!"
Lu Yao frowned in disapproval: "Grandma, the children are here, so please be careful with your words."
"They are just two little bastards..."
"Snap!" A long whip hit the table, interrupting Old Lady Wang's words.
Lin Hongyang calmly withdrew the whip under the horrified gazes of Old Lady Wang and the others, and said coldly, "These are your descendants."
So, who is the real bitch?
Wang Yalan and Shen Yaoming both looked unhappy. They had long been accustomed to the old lady scolding people like this, and would even join in the scolding. Now that General Li pointed it out, their feelings were beyond description, could they be described as shameful and angry?
Old Lady Wang's face turned pale, yet she dared not utter a single breath. She only smiled and explained, "Don't blame me, sir. I'm just teaching my unfilial descendants a lesson."
Lin Hongyang snorted coldly, "It's best to understand your own identity."
They are all prisoners, yet they still want to act like the old ladies of a noble family. Do they really think they are just decorations?
It's disrespectful to the elderly to curse in front of children, and he is not afraid of retribution.
Old Lady Wang shrank her neck and didn't dare to speak anymore. She just looked at Lu Yao and the others with a look that seemed to be filled with poison.
Lu Yao shrank her neck as if frightened, and said carefully and flatteringly: "Grandma, we will leave immediately after we finish eating... Oh no, we will take it out and eat it when it is served."
"you……"
Old Mrs. Wang wanted to lose her temper again, but her eyes fell on the table and she forced herself to hold it back.
On it, there was a fresh piece of silver, left by the whip just now.
She didn't dare say anything else, for fear of accidentally provoking this evil spirit again.
Seeing that these people had behaved themselves, Lin Hongyang returned to his seat, but he glanced over there from time to time. Seeing that they didn't dare to breathe or have any other thoughts because of his stare at them, he was satisfied and continued to eat.
Old Lady Wang looked at the people sitting in front of her, feeling hatred in her heart and dissatisfaction with those who were meddling in her affairs. However, the other party was the highest-ranking official among those escorting them, so she had to vent her hatred on Shen Yanrong's family.
Humph, bitch...just wait!
Here, the plain noodles that the old lady ordered earlier were also delivered.
Old Mrs. Wang ordered ten bowls of noodles in total, including one for the people who had followed her in, and one for Shen Shiren who was lying on the cart.
The first bowl should naturally be served to Mrs. Wang, the elder and the purse.
However, before the noodles reached the old lady, they were intercepted halfway.
"presumptuous!"
Old Mrs. Wang's heart was bleeding, and she had forgotten the threat that the general had brought to her.
The things here are much more expensive than outside. Ten bowls of noodles cost her almost one or two taels of silver, but now it has been robbed by two robbers.
Lu Yao and Shen Yanrong ignored her anger, stood up with the noodles, and planned to take the children out to eat.
They also feel no appetite when faced with these people.
