Chapter 103 New Year Party
Since the beginning of the New Year, Beijing has had several intermittent snowfalls, large and small. The old snow hasn't even melted away yet, and new snow is already falling from the sky.
The cold winter dragged on and lingered with the New Year for two months, and only when the spring thunder began to impatiently warn it did it finally bid farewell to the world reluctantly.
The two-legged animals who had been staying at home for the entire late spring cold snap finally realized that spring had returned outside and they could come out and move around at the call of the bright sun.
After making all the necessary preparations, Jiang Wan finally fulfilled her promise to her friends and threw a Spring Festival party at home. Oh no, it was a small Spring Festival banquet for her friends.
"Big sister, thank you for helping me so much. I'll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."
Chen Yutang picked up the teacup in front of her and thanked him repeatedly with a grateful look on her face. Jiang Wan pointed at Sun Lanlan, who was sitting next to her with a sullen look on her face, and grinned, adding fuel to the fire.
"Why thank me? Thank your second cousin. I wasn't the one who beat up that scumbag. I was just a kind-hearted person passing on the news to you."
"Humph, I've already been cheated so badly by that scumbag, and you're still laughing at me! Are you still good sisters?"
"Why not?"
Ji Jingshu was so happy as she pinched the plum blossom cake.
"If it weren't for the three of us, you'd have been tricked into going home by that, oh, Phoenix man, and had your skin and flesh stripped, and even your bones crushed and squeezed for oil! Only then would you have known what true misery was."
Sun Lanlan couldn't say that her good friend was wrong, but the first person she fell in love with at such a young age turned out to be a trap set for her by her stepmother. How could this not make the little girl feel sad?
"I already know I was wrong, can you please stop giving me a lesson? I'm already feeling bad enough."
As he spoke, he wiped his eyes with sobs.
In fact, the plot of the Sun family's house fighting this time is very old-fashioned. It is about the second wife, Zou, who was newly married to the Earl of Xining. She is unwilling to be suppressed by the country girl, Sun Lanlan's mother, Shen.
It just so happened that the Shen family was also a new noble family that followed the emperor to conquer the world. Mrs. Shen had a son and three daughters to support her, so she was very powerful. Even if Mrs. Zou had more people in her family, she could not defeat Mrs. Shen, the wife of the Earl of Xining.
But she is too ambitious and is eager to kick her immediate boss out to get promoted so that she can get a legitimate son for her precious son who is currently nowhere to be found.
So he took a different approach.
Since she couldn't win in terms of family background or offspring, she could only think of tricks and try her best to destroy the internal structure of the Sun family.
First, she captured the heart of the Earl of Xining with her youth and beauty, and then she used her mother's family connections to secretly set up several traps for Shen's mother.
Why was Sun Honghong, the eldest daughter of the Sun family, targeted by that mad dog Chang Yuning when she was fine? It was naturally the result of Zou's painstaking efforts.
There is also the Sun family couple's different dreams while sleeping in the same bed, Sun Qingqing's aversion to school, Sun Haoyang's conflict with his biological father, and even Sun Lanlan's invisible love brain, all of which are more or less influenced by the second wife of the Sun family.
Jiang Wan really felt that the woman had gone astray. If Zou had been luckier and could have broken into the palace, she would have to be an expert in palace fighting.
Unfortunately, everything she had done behind her back was exposed to the ears of the Lady of Xining. While Shen wasn't good at domestic strife, she wasn't a sickly person either. She risked severing ties with her husband by strangling his favorite concubine to death with a rope.
Think about how cold it was a while ago, and how no one could go out for a stroll or play. It was only thanks to the Sun and Shen families' generous data packages that the idle people in the capital who were staying home for the winter had something to talk about while drinking tea and chatting.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wan patted his good friend's shoulder sympathetically.
"Okay, Lanlan, stop crying. Although Jingshu's words just now were unpleasant, they were true after all.
You've only been cheated of your tears now, just bear with it and it will pass. But what if you were cheated of your life and property? What would happen then?
If Yutang hadn't been so clever, risking offending you and making a bet with you, asking me to help find someone to investigate that pale-faced scholar, how could we have uncovered so many dirty secrets?
So you should really thank your cousin, she is the benefactor of your life!"
Sun Lanlan sniffed and spoke with a tearful tone.
"I know what you said is right. I apologized to Tangtang a few days ago. But I feel really bad now!
Wow, wow, wow, I clearly never thought of trying to get close to someone rich and powerful, so why did this scumbag set his sights on me? Why did he try to deceive me? He's such a piece of shit!
Where can I find such an obedient and good-looking dog in the future? Woo woo woo, I feel so sad... "
The girl slapped her thigh with tears and snot. Although she was talking about something very sad, she managed to make the other three girls laugh.
"Don't think like that, Lanlan."
Jiang Wan suppressed his laughter and comforted her.
"There are plenty of beautiful women out there, so why bother looking for them right next to you? There aren't many to begin with, and the quality isn't great either. Tell your mother to cast a wide net and fish hard. With Lanlan's looks and talent, it's impossible for her not to find a husband of her dreams."
"...Uh, I, uh, what do I have in terms of looks and talents? Sister Wan, please praise me."
"You're a nice person."
"I know this, what else?"
"You're a nice person."
"…Anything else?"
"Well, you're a nice person."
"Wow, I knew you were kidding!"
Sun Lanlan burst into tears instantly.
Ji Jingshu and Shen Yutang quickly covered their ears to block the demonic sound. Only Jiang Wan, who was being hurt, covered the wailing mouth in front of him.
"Take it! Listen to me. There's really nothing to worry about that pale-faced scholar. Regardless of whether he's sincere or not, or whether he's good-looking or not, the key point is that he's unlucky for you!"
“…mud seal away…”
"Alright, let me let go of your hand, then you'll stop howling."
"Um!"
Jiang Wan retracted his claws, pulled out the handkerchief from his waist, and wiped the tears from his fingers. Sun Lanlan, now reborn with the ability to speak, burped twice before sniffling and asking.
"How do you know he's my nemesis?"
"How could I not know? I've read books on the subject. Just think about what that person looks like.
There's an old saying that a pale face, beardless, pointed chin, and monkey-like cheeks are the hallmark of a mean-spirited, poor person. There's also an old saying that a face without flesh is as bad as the bones, and a peach blossom at the corner of the eye means a life of seclusion.
"Throwing away something that's blocking your path to wealth and will definitely lead to your romantic life, why are you still feeling sorry for it? You're the one who's made a fortune, aren't you? Think about it, isn't that the truth?"
"yes!"
Sun Lanlan wiped away her tears and slapped her thigh proudly.
"You can cheat on my heart, but you absolutely cannot stand in my way of wealth! My family has worked so hard to rise from ordinary people to the rich and powerful. I will never go back to hardship in this life! I can't stand any hardship at all!"
