Chapter 92 Cui Liu hits Minister Xu
Zong Wenxiu shook his head: "I'm not angry anymore. Your ability to coax people is your advantage, and being coaxed is my disadvantage. You are not wrong, and I shouldn't blame you."
“Is… is that so?” This compliment made the little devil feel unsure, and he always felt that his brother was heartbroken.
Zong Wenxiu said seriously, "I understand Madam's behavior. She exposed you not to deliberately go against you, but to remind me to learn from you, to learn how you avoid the important and focus on the trivial when you coax people."
"Ah?" The little devil was in a fog.
It was too taxing to think about such complicated things, and since his brother was no longer angry with him, the little devil quickly forgot about it.
"Come on, brother, have some cake."
"good."
Xu Wan went in, bowed, and met her scumbag father.
When she returned home that day, Minister Xu said that he had something to do in the Ministry of Justice and could not come back. Today, when Xu Lian'er returned home, he arrived early and seemed to be very happy to meet his son-in-law. Thinking about it now, it is really ironic.
But she never expected to get any love from her scumbag father, so she just sat down with a faint smile and listened to their conversation.
Instead, the new son-in-law took the initiative to greet her and asked, "This is my aunt, right?"
Xu Wan was wearing a green dress today. The color was neither dark nor light. It was neither formal to overshadow her younger sister, nor casual to be disrespectful. Coupled with her noncompetitive and nonchalant expression, she looked very elegant and decent.
Such a good girl, but she married into the Yuanyang Marquis's Mansion and became a widow.
Xu Wan nodded and replied, "Brother-in-law."
She was also nervous, thinking that Chen Yunyu really held a grudge against her. If the Duke of Jin's Mansion really caused trouble for her, she would delay educating the little devil if she fought back, but it was really frustrating to hold back from fighting back...
Just as she was thinking about how to resolve the crisis, she saw Chen Yunyu coming over with a plate of cakes and said, "This is the seven-flavor cake that is extremely hard to buy in the capital. Lian'er brought some back from her parents' home today. Auntie, would you like to try it?"
Xu Wan smiled and thanked him, taking a small bite out of tokenism, thinking that even if Chen Yunyu poisoned her in public, this amount shouldn't be a big deal.
When Xu Lian'er saw that when Xu Wan arrived, Chen Yunyu not only stopped talking to his father, but also personally brought the cakes to her, she immediately felt dissatisfied.
She said in a sinister tone, "My husband, although this seven-flavor cake is expensive, they are from a merchant family in the Yuanyang Marquisate, so they are not short of money, so they usually eat a lot of it."
Xu Wan was wiping her mouth with a handkerchief.
As expected, once it started, I knew that this trip was not going to be good.
She really didn't understand. Couldn't Xu Lian'er just focus on her own family and not cause trouble for others?
Did you find out that your husband had a prostitute outside before marriage?
Have you established yourself in the Duke of Jin's Mansion?
If you have nothing to do, you can just read a few pages of a book and prepare to teach your children in the future, right?
Xu Lian'er was still talking like this, and just when Xu Wan wanted to fight back, Chen Yunyu scolded her first, "Lian'er, how can you talk to your aunt like this?"
Xu Wan: “?”
It rained red.
Family members are fighting with each other?
This newlywed couple looks unhappy.
That's a good thing. At least I don't have time to bother her or waste her time.
Xu Wan was sitting and watching the show when she saw Chen Yunyu start to criticize Xu Lian'er, saying that she was disrespectful to her elder sister and that she was not as obedient as she was in the Duke of Jin's Mansion.
Every accusation touched Xu Wan's heart, making her want to stand up and applaud him and say "well done".
This Chen Yunyu doesn't seem to be a stupid man, no wonder he was able to keep the matter of keeping a prostitute so secret and was favored by many noble ladies in the capital.
It looks like Xu Lian'er is going to suffer, as neither her mother-in-law nor her husband can be fooled like her scumbag father.
"Alright, Lian'er, what you did today was indeed wrong. Go and apologize to your sister." The scumbag dad finally spoke, but his expression looked very ugly.
Xu Lian'er felt very wronged, but seeing her husband angry and her father unhappy, she hurried over to apologize: "Sister, it's Lian'er's fault. I made you angry. I hope you can forgive me."
Xu Wan rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking, "You're setting a trap for me even though I'm apologizing. Who did you make angry? It's obviously your husband who's more angry, right?"
But she didn't want to waste time on Xu Lian'er, so she pretended to be elegant and generous and replied: "It's okay, sister is not angry with you."
Seeing this, Chen Yunyu's expression became better. He also said, "I'm sorry, aunt. I will ask Lian'er to be respectful to you in the future."
Xu Wan laughed awkwardly.
I thought to myself, why should you be respectful to me? I'm not your mother.
The scumbag father couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Lian'er, take Yunyu to the garden for a walk. I have something to say to your sister."
"Okay." Xu Lian'er was secretly happy.
She knew that her father loved her the most, and this time he would definitely teach Xu Wan a lesson.
She pulled Chen Yunyu out, but saw him turn around and look at Xu Wan again, and immediately became suspicious.
There were only two people left in the room.
Minister Xu's face became even more tense, and he angrily rebuked, "Today is your sister's return party, and you are just going to watch her make a fool of herself?"
Xu Wan thought to herself, what a scumbag dad he is, his butt twists as soon as he opens his mouth.
She smiled and asked, "Father, the one who started the trouble just now was my sister Lian'er, and the one who got angry and scolded my sister was also my brother-in-law. I just came here to make up the numbers, what does this have to do with me?"
Minister Xu asked, "Why didn't you say anything when Lian'er and Yunyu were arguing? If you had said something to smooth things over, Yunyu wouldn't have gotten so angry."
"Father, I don't have the ability to predict that my brother-in-law will be angry. As for this, you are the most thoughtful one and you must have been able to predict it. Then why didn't you stop it?" Xu Wan asked back.
Minister Xu was choked by her again, his face visibly darkened. He said, "You have been in charge of the housekeeping power for a few months in the Marquis' Mansion, and you are acting like a mistress at home? Look carefully, this is the Minister's Mansion, not your Yuanyang Marquis Mansion."
"Of course, my daughter can see clearly that this is not the Marquis Yuanyang's Mansion," Xu Wan said, "If it was the Marquis' Mansion, the old lady would punish my sister by making her copy books, slap her hands, and kneel in the ancestral hall, instead of just saying an apology and leaving it at that. She would not blame me, a person who was bullied, here."
"Father, if you don't love me, someone else will."
In this world, not all relatives are blood relatives. Her father, who is biased and cannot distinguish right from wrong, is not even as good as a finger of her mother-in-law.
"You, you, you... are so rebellious. How dare you talk back to your elders..." Minister Xu picked up the long box on the table and threw it at her.
Xu Wan remained motionless, with no fear in her eyes.
The long box fell from the sky and was heading towards her face. If it hit her hard, it would definitely cut her face.
But how could he possibly succeed?
Cui Liu stretched out her arm quickly and swiftly, and chopped down the long box, sending it back the way it came, heading towards Minister Xu's front door!
