Chapter 13 Chapter 13 He secretly replaced her purse and kept the pearl necklace...
Zhu Yinluan looked carefully and saw that Shen Jingzhan was not looking over here. He just turned sideways and took the wine cup that the person next to him offered him.
It was because she was looking through the screen that her vision was blurry and she must have seen it wrong.
That's right, how could Shen Jingzhan look over here?
What happened just now was just a small episode.
Zhu Yinluan suppressed the doubts in her heart, lowered her head and continued to eat, listening attentively to what Wei Mingyan said.
Before leaving, Wei Mingyan gave Zhu Yinluan a lot of supplements and materials, and also comforted her with many words.
The carriage had just left and was caught up and stopped after entering the alley.
Mingya whispered through the car curtain, "Miss, she is a maid from the Lu Mansion." The Lu Mansion is Wei Mingyan's husband's family.
"What?"
Zhu Yinluan became suspicious and just lifted the car curtain to look over, only to see the other person's back as he left.
"Miss, this is the brocade box they sent me. They said it was something you left behind in your house."
Zhu Yinluan took the brocade box.
When she opened it, she found it was the purse bead chain she wore around her waist.
When did it fall? It couldn't have fallen during the banquet.
If it had fallen during the banquet, why didn't Wei Mingyan give it to her when she left, but instead sent someone to deliver it?
Besides, this purse-shaped bead necklace is not particularly valuable, and there is no engraving on it. How does Wei Mingyan know that it is hers?
Could it be that he fell off when he was watching carp in the temple?
If it really fell at that time, it would make sense.
But if it had fallen at that time, it goes without saying who picked it up.
It was him...
If it's him, then he should be the one to return it?
Although she was worried about her reputation, she felt relieved for no reason when she thought of Shen Jingzhan's excellent way of dealing with people.
"Miss, what is it?" Mingya asked.
"It's nothing. It's just that the pearl necklace from my purse fell off accidentally." She didn't look at it any more, closed the brocade box and put it aside.
"I see." Mingya didn't ask any more questions.
At the same time, the Shen family's carriage was driving away in the opposite direction.
The man was in a lazy posture, leisurely stroking the purse pendant necklace in his palm, which originally belonged to the woman.
Recalling how her eyes suddenly widened when she looked at him today.
It's true that she is a frightened rabbit...
Before Zhu Yinluan returned to the Wei family, she bumped into the old woman who came to invite her at the door.
It was the same excuse again, saying that her elder sister and Luo Xuan had a quarrel and asked her to go and take a look.
If it were before, Zhu Yinluan might have gone, but she was in a good mood today and didn't want to be disturbed, so she said she was not feeling well and would go tomorrow.
The old woman insisted, "Miss San, you have to go this time."
She came closer to Zhu Yinluan and whispered, "The eldest lady and her husband are having a huge fight and are clamoring for a divorce!"
When Zhu Yinluan heard the word "divorce", she was surprised but she still couldn't beat around the bush and said no.
She felt that this was just an angry remark. Luo Xuan fell in love with her elder sister at first sight and spent a lot of effort to please her elder sister. Even if she really hated her, she would have to consider many things for the sake of the Zhu family and it would be impossible for them to divorce.
But the old woman pulled her and insisted that she go, and said that they were really going to get divorced this time, and the two of them had a big fight.
Seeing Zhu Yinluan hesitating and trying to refuse, she came over and said something.
After hearing this, Zhu Yinluan was completely shocked.
"How... is this possible?"
On the way to Luo Mansion, Zhu Yinluan was wondering what she should do after she arrived.
How else could she deal with it? After all, this was her sister's family background. As a younger sister, how could she go to her sister's husband's family and give orders?
"Didn't you tell mother?" she asked the mother-in-law.
The old woman said, "I was going to tell her, but Madam went to the Duke's Mansion for a banquet. She must still be there now."
"Where is my second brother?" she asked again.
"The second young master has gone with the master to visit General Feng, and he won't be back for a while."
I couldn't find anyone at home, so I came to call her.
Otherwise, if such a big thing happened, why didn't the old woman go home and ask for help first?
She clearly knew that her relationship with her eldest sister was not very good.
"Miss San, can you go alone? Or send someone to pass the message to Master?"
Are you going to call Wei Ruzhuo back as well?
Zhu Yinluan refused, "My husband said he had something important to do when he left today. He didn't even go to his younger sister's banquet. I'm afraid he can't come here either."
The old woman muttered, "If something like this happens to the young lady, Lord Wei might come. After all..."
Zhu Yinluan felt dissatisfied after hearing this and wanted to ask this old woman what she was talking about.
These are all things of the past. If she really wants to consider the reputation of the Zhu, Wei, and Luo families, she should also know what to say and what not to say...
But considering that this old woman served her stepmother, Madam Zhu, she couldn't do so.
He could only suppress his unhappiness, said nothing, and just closed his eyes.
Seeing this, the old woman curled her lips and said, "..."
When they were almost at Luo's house, the old woman secretly sent someone to inform Wei Ruzhuo.
When she entered the main hall of the Luo family, Zhu Yinluan was shocked to see the woman standing in the middle holding a child.
This person looks very similar to my eldest sister...
No, to be precise, it should be the eldest sister who is similar to her.
Is this the Bai Mingyue that Luo Xuan is always thinking about?
"Little sister, you came at the right time. Please judge for me. Is he a human being for treating me like this?" Zhu Chentan was crying again. This time she stood up and pulled Zhu Yinluan over, asking her to help her.
Zhu Yinluan was also embarrassed. She first greeted the irritated Luo Xuan with courtesy, and then stood beside Zhu Chentan to comfort him.
The woman standing in the main hall, holding the child, had no identity yet. She saluted Zhu Yinluan, who nodded lightly and glanced at the child the woman was protecting.
He looked a little old and very timid. He kept looking at Zhu Yinluan with his eyes rolling around. He did look a bit like Luo Xuan.
Luo Xuan pinched his brows and listened to Zhu Chentan's crying. He wanted to let the people in the hall sit down, but Zhu Chentan refused and wanted to drive them out.
Zhu Yinluan calmed her down and told her to talk it over nicely. There might be some misunderstanding between them.
Zhu Chentan cried non-stop, "What a misunderstanding! Are you my sister or her sister? Are you here to help me?"
Zhu Yinluan was also having a headache. What problem could this crying and making a fuss solve? It was just a waste of energy.
But she didn't know what to do. Her eldest sister was spoiled by her stepmother and father. She was like this at home. Whenever something didn't go her way, she would make a fuss and wouldn't calm down until she got what she wanted.
Zhu Yinluan whispered to her, saying that crying like this would hurt her eyes and ruin her good looks, making people laugh at her as a lady from a noble family, and it would be even worse if it got out.
Zhu Chentan must have heard some of it and reluctantly lowered his voice.
After a while, Luo Xuan was about to speak when the maid outside came in to say that Madam Luo was coming.
Hearing this, Zhu Chentan completely stopped talking and stood up with Luo Xuan.
The group bowed and greeted Mrs. Luo.
"What's going on?" Mrs. Luo looked at Zhu Chentan's red eyes from crying.
Zhu Yinluan obviously saw her displeasure under the pressure, but her elder sister was out of control and didn't seem to notice, "..."
"Mother-in-law, you have to make the decision for me." Zhu Chentan didn't care how she had alarmed Mrs. Luo. She stepped forward and complained, saying that Luo Xuan had a mistress outside and that this woman had been with him for a long time. Before she got married, they already had a child, and now they had brought the child home!
"Look what you have done!" After hearing this, Mrs. Luo slapped Luo Xuan in the face.
Zhu Yinluan quickly lowered her eyes to reduce her presence.
Seeing her eldest sister's household affairs, she felt as embarrassed as she had imagined when she came. She never expected that Mrs. Luo would hit someone right in front of her, her sister-in-law.
When the woman saw Luo Xuan being beaten, she wanted to step forward, but Luo Xuan gave her a look, telling her not to come over or make any noise.
Seeing the two of them flirting with each other, Zhu Chentan became even more angry.
"How could you do such a thing to let Chen Tan down? She has been married into our Luo family for more than three years, almost four years. She has always been diligent, respectful, generous and tolerant. She took over the inner house and managed everything in the family in an orderly manner. Do you think you are doing her justice by doing this? Do you still remember what you said to her when you welcomed her into the family..."
Mrs. Luo pointed at Luo Xuan's head and said a lot of things.
Zhu Yinluan was also listening nearby.
This was probably just a "bluff". Who was it meant to bluff? Of course, it was her eldest sister.
It seems like he is standing up for his elder sister, but in fact it is also "overpraising" to put her on a pedestal and make a good start.
Especially Mrs. Luo's words about being diligent, respectful, generous and tolerant are particularly ironic.
First he coaxed his elder sister by suppressing Luo Xuan, and then put pressure on her later.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been living together for more than ten years. She knows that her elder sister is very concerned about her reputation, and she scolded Luo Xuan in front of so many people just to give her face.
But after this "candy" came down, it was followed by a "slap".
Zhu Yinluan's calculations were correct. After Madam Luo scolded Luo Xuan, she turned to Zhu Chentan and said, "This matter is his fault. Your mother-in-law has already reprimanded him for you. This kind of thing will never happen again in the future."
"Now the mistake has been made. This... the child has been born. After all, he is the blood of our Luo family. Look... you were injured before, and you have been lonely for so many years. It's better to put the child in your room and raise him in the future..."
Zhu Chentan understood what Mrs. Luo was thinking. She was too coaxed by Mrs. Luo and became arrogant. She didn't even wait for Mrs. Luo to finish her words and quickly rejected her idea, "Impossible!"
She also used very unpleasant words, calling the child a bastard.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces looked unhappy.
Especially Mrs. Luo.
The displeasure that she had suppressed before gradually surfaced, and Zhu Yinluan saw it clearly.
Zhu Chentan must have seen it, but she had been spoiled since she was young, so she was not willing to bow her head. "I will not let this bastard and this woman enter the Luo family unless I die!"
Zhu Yinluan saw that both Mrs. Luo and Luo Xuan looked unhappy. The child threw herself into the woman's arms to hide, and Luo Xuan's eyes also fell on the woman.
She stepped forward and said, "Eldest sister, please speak nicely if you have something to say."
But Zhu Chentan didn't appreciate it, "Get lost."
"If you're not here to help me, don't talk!"
Zhu Yinluan had no choice but to remain silent.
Mrs. Luo started to show her power.
She looked at Zhu Chentan's face and laughed coldly, "Is this the eldest daughter of the aristocratic Zhu family who was carefully nurtured?"
