Chapter 21: Forcing Yun Wanrou to Submit



Yun Wanrou's gaze fell on her concubine's wrist.

She suddenly felt as if her heart was stuffed with a ball of cotton, making her feel a little suffocated.

After all, Yangyang is Qian's granddaughter.

Today is the grand hundred-day banquet. Even if Qian favors the two concubines, she should maintain some dignity and not be too obvious in front of others.

Qian didn't know what the Yun family was thinking.

Seeing them looking at her, she felt a little proud.

She spent a huge amount of money to make a longevity lock for Yun Xiucheng's granddaughter.

Yun Xiucheng must be very happy in his heart!

When he was in a good mood, he would ask his disciples to help Shuer in the court.

"relatives by marriage……"

Snap!

As soon as Qian finished her words, Yangyang threw the longevity lock away.

The longevity lock fell to the ground, and the gold foil on the surface cracked a little and scattered on the ground.

Yun Yi is a straightforward person.

Seeing this scene, he shouted: "Oh, why did the gold powder of this gold lock fall off?"

As he shouted, the other guests also looked over.

Everyone knows that the longevity lock was the hundred-day gift that Qian gave to Yangyang.

Seeing this scene, everyone shook their heads.

"Could it be that the old lady has been deceived? This is obviously gilded!"

"That's impossible! The old lady has seen a lot of things in the world, how could she not be able to tell the difference between gold-plated and pure gold? There's a big difference in weight between the two!"

"I heard that after the old marquis left, the Marquis's Mansion has been getting worse day by day. I didn't believe it at first, but now I see that the rumors don't seem to be false!"

Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Qian's face turned red and white with shame.

She quickly picked up the longevity lock and said with a wry smile: "How come this kid can't even hold the longevity lock firmly? This is so unlucky!"

[Bah, you use gold plating to cover up pure gold, and this is auspicious? I'm still a child, and I can't hold the longevity lock firmly, isn't it normal? ]

Yangyang was grumbling in her heart, she really looked down on Qian.

Yun Wanrou felt sorry for her.

Although she is the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family, she is not favored by her grandmother and father.

Even Baili Li's preparations were so perfunctory.

Yun Wanrou felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing Qian holding the longevity lock and putting it into Yangyang's hand, she hurriedly snatched the lock away.

"Mother, Yangyang is still young. If the gold powder gets on her hands, she might accidentally eat it."

Yun Wanrou deliberately raised her voice when she spoke.

Hearing her mention the gold powder again, Qian glared at her and handed the longevity lock to her.

"In that case, as a mother, you should keep it for her! When you get back, put it on her. Don't let my kindness go to waste."

[What kind of gift is this worth? I won't wear it. I have a small gold locket given by my father, the prince, and a gold bracelet given by my second uncle. I don't care about the rubbish you gave me! ]

Yangyang kicked his short calves, his face full of unhappiness.

Today is her good day, why does Qian come to make things unlucky for her?

Be careful, she might get angry and be struck to death by thunder along with her and her scumbag son.

Yun Wanrou understands Yangyang.

She was a good-tempered person, and she felt uncomfortable that Qian looked down on her daughter.

But dad and brothers are here, and there are so many guests here today.

It would be bad for her to fall out with them at this time.

"Mother, I have to feed Yangyang in a while. It's hard to wash my hands with gold powder. It's better to let the Marquis keep it for Yangyang for the time being!"

Yun Wanrou looked towards Qian, with a smile on her face that was hard to misjudge.

When Qian saw that she didn't accept it, she felt a little embarrassed.

He turned around and stuffed the longevity lock into his son's hand.

Jiang Nanxing's hand was forced to separate from Jiang Huaishu's hand, and she felt a little unhappy.

She glanced at the longevity lock in Jiang Huaishu's hand, then looked at the gold bracelet on her wrist, and soon smiled triumphantly again.

She deliberately fiddled with the gold bracelet on her wrist.

Yun Wanrou felt even more upset when she saw this.

Jiang Huaishu came to her side and picked up a wine glass on the table.

"Today is my daughter Yangyang's 100th day banquet. On behalf of my wife and Yangyang, I would like to thank you all for taking the time to come."

As he spoke, Jiang Huaishu raised his glass.

Drink the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Everyone stood up and drank the wine in their glasses together.

As soon as they sat down, Jiang Huaishu suddenly pushed the pair of illegitimate children beside him forward.

"Today is a good day, and I would like to take this opportunity to announce a happy event. Please everyone present here to be a witness."

As Jiang Huaishu's voice fell, Yun Wanrou's heart began to beat rapidly.

Although Jiang Huaishu is a bastard, he should also have some sense of propriety.

Today is Yangyang's hundred-day banquet. He shouldn't do anything to harm her and Yangyang as she thought, right?

Yun Wanrou turned and looked at him.

Under her gaze, Jiang Huaishu smiled and said, "These two children are from the Jiang family's side branch. Their parents are gone, and Madam likes children very much. So I want to adopt them under Madam's name."

"They are so young, and their parents are gone. These two children are so pitiful!"

"Mrs. Jiang is really kindhearted. She is willing to adopt the child from the side branch under her name."

Under Jiang Huaishu's persuasion, everyone nodded and praised Yun Wanrou.

Yun Wanrou's heart suddenly sank.

She still overestimated Jiang Huaishu and thought he would not do that.

"Arou, come and express your opinion to everyone!"

Jiang Huaishu turned around, smiled and held Yun Wanrou's hand.

He told everyone the whole story and praised Yun Wanrou highly.

He just couldn't believe that Yun Wanrou would be so disrespectful as to reject him in public and embarrass him.

Yun Wanrou met his eyes with mixed feelings.

She looked at the guests, then at her father and brothers.

Seeing them looking at her with gloomy faces and disappointment, she felt even more upset.

Even they believed Jiang Huaishu's words, thinking that Jiang Huaishu had discussed this matter with her in advance.

Then others would think that this was a decision made by the two of them together.

Jiang Huaishu was forcing her to submit by doing this!

[Jiang Huaishu is such a scumbag! No, now scumbag is not enough to describe him. He is just a scumbag who actually thought of announcing the adoption at my 100-day banquet.]

[He knew that his mother would not turn against him immediately, and would be forced to swallow the bitter fruit. She would recognize his illegitimate children and make them the legitimate sons and daughters of the Marquis's mansion.]

[Mom, you can't just keep putting up with this. You have to stand up and not let this scumbag and his mistress get what they want!]

Wait, aren’t these two children from side branches? How could they be Jiang Huaishu’s illegitimate children?

The Yun family looked at Jiang Huaishu, then at the two children.

They didn't pay attention just now, but now they are looking carefully.

The eyebrows of these two children are really similar to Jiang Huaishu.

Especially the little girl, her expression is exactly the same as Jiang Huaishu!
