This is an ear room next to the side hall. There are only tables, chairs, benches, and a couch for resting. There is no food or Liu Wanyun's mother.
Madam Ma shouted unhappily, "Liu Wanyun, what do you mean? Do you look down on us?"
I just look down on you! If I wasn't concerned about Du Ruoxuan, I would have arranged for you to stay in the room with the children.
Liu Wanyun complained in her heart, but she still smiled. "Don't worry, aunt, someone will arrange for food to be served soon, and my mother will be here too."
When she said that just now, Si Xi who was following beside her had already understood and made arrangements.
"I'm not here, I'm going outside!"
What do you mean by opening a separate table? This is obviously being looked down upon. When you go out later, you will be laughed at. You attended the banquet but didn't even sit at the main table.
"aunt--"
Liu Wanyun had a serious expression on her face, and her charming smile from before was gone.
"This isn't the Ma family, nor the Liu family. You can't mess around here! What you did just now not only embarrassed me, but also your son Ma Fen. His boss is in the men's section up front. This isn't the time for you to be clever."
"If you insist on embarrassing everyone, then don't be my relative anymore. I won't need you to help me with the good things in my shop!"
Mrs. Ma was a little shocked, and her momentum softened. "Okay, okay, then I'll follow your instructions. Just let me go outside. I won't eat here."
Liu Wanyun didn't believe her at all. This person was a time bomb, and something might happen to set her off in the future.
Fortunately, her mother arrived soon, and Guan Xiaoyu's mother also came with her. When Liu Wanyun saw them, she felt much more relieved.
If Madam Ma makes trouble again later, her mother won't be able to control her, but Guan's mother has some skills.
She bowed to the two of them, left Si Xi to serve them, and then left with Du Ruoxuan.
Du Ruoxuan looked at her with admiration, "You were so domineering just now, which doesn't match your weak appearance at all."
"I am weak when I meet the weak, and strong when I meet the strong..."
Before they could finish their words, Shen Chaodong and Ma Fen appeared in front of them. It was probably because someone told the people in front about what had just happened.
Liu Wanyun, who was full of fighting spirit just now, lost her momentum in an instant, "Brother Dong~"
The voice suddenly became so gentle that Du Ruoxuan felt a tingling sensation on her back.
Among the three young masters of the Shen family, the second and third are difficult to recognize, but the eldest brother's icy face is very easy to distinguish. Du Ruoxuan used to be a little scared when she looked at the eldest brother Shen, but now that she saw him with her own eyes, she became much softer under the spell of "Brother Dong".
This man is indeed a master, his rank is much higher!
In Shen Chaodong's eyes, he only saw Liu Wanyun, and stretched out his hand to hold her, "What's wrong? But it's very difficult to do?"
"Luckily, my mother and my second sister-in-law's mother are here, otherwise it would be troublesome. Brother Dong, I've been exhausted these past few days because of this wedding banquet..."
Liu Wanyun spoke pitifully, pulling Chen Chaodong and walking away on her own, waving her other hand behind her back as she walked, signaling Du Ruoxuan to do as she pleased.
"After I'm done with these few days, I'll take you out to play."
The two of them walked away in a languid manner, not taking the two guests seriously at all.
With the demonstration, Du Ruoxuan did not complain to Ma Fen about her mother's inappropriate behavior this time. She just looked at him with tears in her eyes and a look of aggrieved, but said nothing.
"Madam, what happened?"
"It's okay~"
Anyway, you might feel it more deeply when you hear other people talk about this later!
During the meal.
Mrs. Ma's behavior made Mrs. Du feel extremely embarrassed sitting at the main table.
Normally, she was the talkative one among the ladies. But today, ever since she saw her daughter and her in-laws coming together, her expression hadn't been good, but she couldn't just leave.
I kept trying to hold on and put on a forced smile.
Mrs. Xie, who was sitting next to her, couldn't bear to watch this any longer and tried to persuade her softly, "Mrs. Du, you've always been clear-headed. Why are you so confused now?"
"That's your own biological daughter, your only child. You don't help her, you don't support her, and you watch her suffer injustice in her husband's family without doing anything. Do you think that illegitimate son of your family will be good to you, his legal mother, when he grows up?"
What he meant was that life would be difficult in the future, and perhaps only his own daughter would be able to take care of him.
A word can wake a person up from a dream.
Mrs. Du thought about how ever since her daughter got married, the concubines in the mansion had relied on the sons they had given birth to to ask the master to give everything to the son and to satisfy the son first. As a lady, she sometimes even lived a less decent life than the concubines.
She sighed and said, "My daughter is disobedient. Unlike your daughter Linghui, your adults have the final say on her marriage. Has the date been set for her wedding with the young master of the Zhou family? When can we attend your wedding banquet?"
Mrs. Xie said with a smile, "It will be soon, soon. I will inform you in advance when the time comes!"
However, that smile only lasted for a few seconds, and she sighed again, "My daughter is obedient, but my son, you know, he was too disobedient in the past, which makes it so difficult for him to get married now..."
Madam Du leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I saw that you were quite fond of the second young lady of the Shen family before. What's the matter? Madam Shen disagrees?"
"Mrs. Shen didn't say anything, but Miss Zhaodi herself seemed..."
"She's a concubine's daughter, yet she's so picky?"
Mrs. Xie quickly pulled Mrs. Du aside, fearing that others would hear what they were saying.
"You can't say that. We are women too. When it comes to marrying a daughter-in-law, we look at her character. As for the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, I don't particularly care!"
Little did they know that Liu Wanyun happened to pass by them and heard the last sentence. She immediately had a better impression of Madam Xie.
The empty seat at the main table was reserved for Liu Wanyun. She went over and chatted with everyone at the table, chatting with them and taking a few bites of food out of courtesy.
Mrs. Lu was very considerate and praised her a few times, saying that she was young, smart, and capable of doing things; she also praised Mrs. Shen, saying that she had a unique vision and chose such a good daughter-in-law.
Liu Wanyun took the opportunity to test the waters, saying, "All the ladies present here love their children dearly. When it comes to their children's marriages, they prioritize their children's preferences over family background and status. Those who can become your daughters-in-law or sons-in-law are truly blessed."
The ladies present were all astute and knew that her words carried some weight in the current Shen Mansion, and her words were also pointed.
Mrs. Xie was the first to nod in agreement. "Of course, this is a matter that affects the rest of one's life, so naturally we need to hear the person's opinion. As long as the person has good character, nothing else is a big problem."
Then, everyone else nodded in agreement.
When it came to Mrs. Lu, she didn't fully agree. "Of course I have to listen to some of it, but this young man has little experience and a short-sighted outlook. There are some things he can't consider. I need the adults to remind him more often!"
Liu Wanyun's eyes scanned the two women in turn as they answered, silently comparing them in her heart.
