[Sigh, thankfully someone got away with it, otherwise I'd still have to deal with him. Judging by that chubby kid's arrogant attitude, the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion probably won't produce any good men; they're all brainless brutes.]
[But just look at the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness before me, and I'll understand. He's big and burly, clearly not cut out to be a strategist. He's just like his father.]
Marquis Zhongyi was tall and strong, and even though he was over fifty, he was still very powerful.
His eyes widened, exuding an imposing aura, making him look like Zhang Fei reincarnated.
Even this burly man couldn't help but slam his fist on the table upon hearing these shocking remarks.
A loud "bang" startled everyone around.
"My lord, if you want to stand up for your third son's wife, you shouldn't be so agitated."
Cen was the calmest one. She knew her husband's personality well and immediately reached out to pat his arm.
The Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness turned pale and ashen, his face a mixture of fear and shame.
This woman has absolutely no sense of respect. She is extremely disrespectful to the emperor and even mocks her father-in-law. She is both disloyal and unfilial.
But remembering her unusual nature, the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness held back and ultimately did not lose his temper.
It was Cen who stepped in to save the day: "Although it is the third son's duty to go out on business, it does not change the fact that he left his newlywed wife to face things alone. You were also injured, I'm sorry to have wronged you. Someone, bring the things in."
Soon, several rough-looking women carried in a wooden box. The box made a dull thud when it was placed on the ground, indicating that it contained a lot of things.
Granny Liu immediately stepped forward and began her introduction with a beaming smile.
"Third Madam, this is a wedding gift specially selected and prepared for you by the Lady of the Marquis. This box contains various tonics. You suffered a lot, vomiting blood and fainting. You deserve to be well nourished. There is also a century-old ginseng bestowed by the Emperor. Have the kitchen stew it into soup. However, do not cut too much at once, lest you be too weak to handle the tonics."
"The second box contains the latest fabrics and jewelry. I don't know what you like. Once you've recovered, I'll go to the storeroom to choose for you."
Xu Wanying instantly perked up. She glanced at the items on top with a reserved air and saw the ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms, as well as the dazzling gold jewelry, which was almost blinding.
"Ha, gold? Vulgar stuff! I wouldn't even look at it!" she said sourly.
[Host, your rapidly accelerating heartbeat and soaring energy indicate that you are currently very happy and absolutely adore these mundane things!]
She said irritably, "[You talk too much! Since you have plenty of energy, can you continue spreading rumors? When exactly is that little fat guy going to become a eunuch? Give me a straight answer!]"
