This time, the Xu family lost face.

After getting in the car, she started crying and quarreling with her husband: "I said I couldn't come, but you insisted on coming. Look what's going on now! You're happy that they kicked you out, right?!"

The voice was sharp and reckless.

Attracting the attention of passers-by.

"I was actually... carried out without touching the ground! That bitch from the Wen family, with a smile on her face... Oh my God! I have suffered so much injustice by marrying you! But I never thought that I would have to endure such humiliation. If I wasn't worried about Bao'er, I would have gone to seek death right now! How can I still live with dignity..."

Her hair was messy and her hairpin was crooked. She cried so hard that she was heartbroken! Qi Xiao was also miserable today. He was ignored by everyone in front and was called "pretending" by his cousin! Qi Wu was the center of attention, but he was accompanying a few old men...

Originally, I had just shown off my archery skills and was complimented by a few little kids, so more people gathered around me...

But he was called over by his aunt and scolded!

My aunt is the boss at home and she has the final say. All my cousins ​​are afraid of her.

But for all these years, she has never been angry with me.

Today is so bad! I was scolded so hard that I couldn't even lift my head!

For a moment, I felt confused and empty.

I couldn't help but ask: "Why did you hit Baoer?"

In a family like theirs, there are children who are punished, but they are never beaten.

Especially the girl... in front of others! Xu was having a good time, but when she heard her husband not only did not comfort her, but also did not scold her, but instead questioned...

"I'm her mother! If she doesn't listen to me, what's wrong with beating her?!" Mrs. Xu became even angrier.

"You! Minghui, it's wrong for you to say that..."

"What's wrong with that?! That bitch from the Wen family, and who else did she bring with her, immediately flirted with the eldest daughter of the Cui family! She's from a poor family, so shameless! She hasn't even entered the house yet, but she's already lowering herself to please! Bah! Your mother always looks down on my background. I come from a rich family, so I can't do such a shameless thing!"

"Minghui, I'm asking you why you hit Baoer, why are you talking about this?"

"Why does she have to get close to others? Do they want her to play with them? Why? She is the eldest daughter of the Cui family! Bao'er is the eldest daughter of the Qi family! Is there any need for her to fawn over her?!"

"Minghui, there's no need to think like that when the little girls are playing together, right?!" Qi Xiao seemed different today.

But Xu was still venting her anger: "As a grandmother, I don't love my granddaughter, but my niece from my mother's side! It's all my fault as a mother. I don't please my mother-in-law, and even my daughter suffers as a result!" She started crying again.

"Okay!" Qi Xiao coaxed patiently: "Bao'er wants to go play, just let her go! It's not as complicated for little girls to get along with adults... Even if you don't want to, just lead her away. Don't hit her! Besides, in front of so many people..."

Xu also felt a little regretful about this matter, but with her personality, how could she admit it?

She stared at her husband with a look of disbelief... She had suffered such a great injustice, but her husband was still blaming her? Qi Xiao was still saying: "In a family like ours, how could a mother hit her children?! I have been at odds with my mother since I was a child. There were times when she was right, but I refused to do it. But my mother was only reasonable... never..."

"How dare you say that!" Mrs. Xu finally got anxious. "If you hadn't displeased Mother, would I be in this situation today? Did you see how Mother treated Bitch Wen? The two of them were arm in arm!!"

She screamed! Like a crazy woman...

"Alright! What a mess!" Qi Xiao was also angry! "Stop the car!"

As soon as the car stopped, Qi Xiao wanted to get off.

"Where are you going?!" Xu tried to pull him away, not letting him leave.

But if Qi Xiao really wanted to leave, there was no way she could stop him. With a slight struggle, the collar that Xu was holding loosened.

Xu pulled too tightly and even split her long fingernail.

It hurt so much, "Ouch!"

Qi Xiao had already gotten out of the car and disappeared.

Xu felt like the sky was falling...

I returned home and cried all the way to my room.

Tan heard about it and said, "Alas, they are a young couple! It's the New Year's Day... I'll try to persuade her when she calms down!"

After sending everyone away, he burst out laughing: This Xu! Her mother-in-law has changed, and she can't even tell!

This brain, this temper, will suffer in the future! However, if you use it smoothly, you still need to coax it.

Cui's change was because she guessed that the incident was my doing.

What can you do to me if you guess it?

However, if she is really recruited and it affects the major events, then it would be a loss...

Alas... these years have been too smooth and careless!

…

Every girl received a valuable gift. Bian Wensu, who was usually calculating and pragmatic, with little emotional fluctuation, smiled at Wen Yu: "Big sister, your marriage is really good! The Cui family is very nice. You should please your mother-in-law! If there are good things in the future, think of your sister!"

After saying that, he went back to his room with his things.

When they returned home, Yuan and Wen Huan had already arrived home. Seeing the old lady return home, they went to the back hall.

Wen Jiao was showing off on purpose. She didn't even go back to her room and took the gifts to the back hall.

In front of Wen Huan, they opened them one by one.

"This was given to me by General Cui. He said it was for women to defend themselves. Oh, I really don't have such a thing!" It was a beautiful small dagger in a cowhide sheath.

The old lady was shocked when she saw it: "Put it away quickly! Why would a girl need this?!"

"Grandma, you don't understand! Military families pay attention to this! Look! This was given by Madam Cui... This is from Madam Two..."

Wen Jiao showed off while glancing at Wen Huan out of the corner of her eye.

Wen Huan didn't know whether he was really coveting the gift or was angry at the Cui family for treating Wen Yu so well. His face turned red and white.

Even Old Lady Wen sighed: "The Cui family really loves girls. On a day like this, it would have been great if Madam Cui sent a gift on behalf of the Cui family! But in the end, all three ladies sent gifts!"

"Grandma, they are attracted to my elder sister! How can they give it to a girl who has nothing to do with them?"

"Yes!" the old lady also sighed.

After Wen Jiao finished showing off, she packed up and prepared to go back to her room. She asked Wen Huan, "Second sister, what did you get in the Prince Wu's mansion?"

Of course, Princess Wu also sent a gift, which was very exquisite but not expensive.

Wen Huan said: "All the girls who went there received wrist flowers. I think this is just a hospitality procedure. It's not like the Cui family, who likes the girls on purpose."

She spoke calmly and modestly, but Wen Jiao couldn't catch her.

Wu's favorite is Wen Jiao, because she can understand what Wen Jiao is thinking at once. Although Wen Su is also her biological daughter, he has a different personality.

At this time, Wu said in a fake tone: "Jiao'er, you have won so many. Let me choose one!"

Wen Jiao smiled and said, "Mother is right. Second sister, choose one!"

"This is a special gift from the Cui family to my third sister. How can I accept it? I appreciate the kindness!" Wen Huan acted generously regardless of what he thought.

Mrs. Wu helped Wen Jiao take it back to her room and asked her in detail about what happened today.

This time, Wen Jiao was talkative: "We also went to the martial arts arena! There were so many people! It made the yellow earth noisy and ate a lot of food! But, those young masters, playing ball, shooting arrows... it was so much fun! It was really the first time I saw it!"

Mrs. Wu listened to Wen Jiao describing the Cui family's mansion and sighed: Wen Yu is so lucky!

…

In the evening, Wen Yu called Laba over: "Go and see what Yuan is saying to my father, what tone of voice, what expression!"

"yes."

When Wen Qian came back, Yuan told him about her visit to Prince Wu's mansion in some detail, and about the possible further contacts with certain people.

"There is a Mrs. Wen whose husband also works in the Ministry of Revenue. Do you know her?"

"I know. Wen Ruo despises Lord Wen. Even Lord Shangshu has to be polite to him. The emperor values ​​him, so he is really capable."

"No wonder. The princess was very polite to her. Today, the eldest son and his wife of Li Gelao also came, but they didn't say much. The princess was also very polite..."

"The Wu Palace is forming an alliance with the He family. Both the Li and He families have elders..."

"We don't come into contact with these things often. We should ask more about them in the future."

"You've thought it through very carefully. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family has gone...about Huanhuan's matter..." Wen Qian took the opportunity to ask.

"At the beginning, it was not the son of Changmen...it was the son of Brother Li. It's still far from it, she won't tell you."

"Oh, then... are you still talking about it?" Wen Qian saw that Yuan was a little indifferent about this, and his attitude was completely different from before.

"My mother came recently and it's Chinese New Year, so I haven't found time to do it yet! I'll wait until next Chinese New Year..."

"Okay." Wen Qian knew that his wife's mind had changed.

He didn't know what step they had discussed before, and what impact this change of mind would have.

In the past, he would have asked directly.

And now, since his wife didn't say anything, he probably couldn't get the truth from her.

I feel a little uncomfortable...
