He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

Almost instantly, the smile on the old lady's face disappeared, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

Originally, the old lady didn't have a good impression of the Wu family, but because of the third wife's natal family, her face was too good, but the granddaughter who was raised in her hand was stuck in the Wu family's cow dung. Now the old lady heard The word "Wu Family" is deeply abhorrent.

She was so disgusted that she couldn't stop seeing her, and the prayer beads in the old lady's hand almost crushed her.

"Let her in."

The maid left, and after a while, Mrs. Wu came in.

Compared with the unhappiness hidden in the eyes of the old lady, Mrs. Wu was so proud that she walked with a wind in her eyes. The sight of her made everyone in Pingyang Hou Mansion feel itchy, except for Shen Wan.

She should be the only person in Pingyang Houfu who hopes that Mrs. Wu will come to visit. Every time Mrs. Wu comes, she rubs salt into the hearts of the old lady and the third wife, reminding them all the time that it is their ambitious ambitions that have harmed their lives. Shen Rong has been obsessed with her forever.

But today is the day when she and Shen Ying return home. Most people would avoid visiting on this day. Mrs. Wu should not be so ignorant of etiquette.

Mrs. Wu bowed to the old lady with a smile on her face. The old lady maintained a forced smile on her face and said, "The palace is busy greeting Prince Jin and Prince Ling, so we are not far away."

The old lady said that Pingyang Hou Mansion had failed to welcome her, but in fact she was reproaching Mrs. Wu for not coming.

Mrs. Wu heard the implication, but she didn't care. She knew that the old lady didn't like her son, and her Wu family just wanted to marry him back. She didn't care if the words were unpleasant.

Mrs. Wu sat down and said, "Today the new son-in-law of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion came to visit. I shouldn't have come to bother you. Didn't I hear that the old lady of the Chen Mansion, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, passed away from illness? I thought it was a rare opportunity. My master was promoted to a higher position. , my Wu family will marry Ronger in a few days, and it will look better in appearance."

Shen Wan thought why Mrs. Wu came to visit, but it turned out that she came for the vacant position of right minister of the Ministry of Rites.

I never heard that Mr. Wu was planning for that position in his previous life, but the situation in this life is different. The Wu family was originally the in-laws of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and now they are closely related to each other. The Pingyang Marquis Mansion has two princesses and a quasi-governor. Pingyang Houfu helped fight for it, and it was not difficult for Mr. Wu to get what he wanted.

The third wife was a little tempted. After all, it was her brother from the same mother who was seeking an official position. Her daughter and Young Master Wu had become a fact. If the Wu family is good, her daughter can be good.

The third wife looked at the old lady. The old lady's face was very cold, and she was slowly playing with the Buddhist beads in her hand. She loved Shen Rong, so she would naturally think about Shen Rong, but it was not easy to help. Mr. Wu needed to be able to do the job. In that position, finding Shen Jing was just a matter of words. Shen Jing would not do favoritism for anyone. The second master and the third master wanted to be promoted, but Shen Jing avoided suspicion, let alone Mr. Wu.

If you want to help Mr. Wu, you can only go to King Jin, but who dares to talk to King Jin?

How shrewd Empress Song was. How could she not guess that what happened between Master Wu and Shen Rong in the inner courtyard was caused by the second wife's overt and covert actions? However, she still followed Empress Song's wishes in the end, even though the plan failed. , but they cannot be blamed for this. Queen Song had no reason to attack them.

Queen Song and King Jin were suffocating and had no place to vent their anger. At this time, asking King Jin to help the Wu family would not be an attempt on their behalf. Not only would they not get any benefits, but they would also make King Jin unhappy.

But this opportunity was indeed rare. The old lady weighed it carefully and winked at the third wife, who then invited Mrs. Wu to the south courtyard.

After they left, the old lady looked at Shen Wan, "You four sisters, only your third sister did not marry well. This marriage cannot be canceled. I can only hope that the Wu family can get better and your third sister can be decent. You sisters …”

Before the old lady could finish her words, Shen Wan said, "It's a pity that King Ling has little power in the court. Even if I want to help the third sister, I can't. However, this little thing is easy for King Jin. The second sister and the third sister have always been If the relationship is good, the second sister will definitely help the third sister."

Shen Ying said unhappily, "Prince Ling can't help, there's still uncle here."

Shen Wan looked at Shen Ying and said, "My father has always respected my grandmother. If my grandmother wanted my father to help me, she would speak up. There is no need for me to say it. Is it possible that in the eyes of my second sister, I can still have more face with my father?" Grandma is going?"

They plot against her and still have the nerve to ask her for help. These people are probably thicker-skinned than the city walls.

Young Master Wu was acting recklessly in the inner courtyard and had already angered his father. He asked his father to help the Wu family in order to get a better marriage for Shen Rong. Anyone who said this would be scolded, and the old lady was no exception.

My father respected the old lady, but he was not foolish or filial, otherwise the old lady would not have had any idea of ​​her.

Shen Wan was sure that the old lady neither dared to speak to Shen Jing nor Xie Jingyin.

Shen Wan refused to help and kept her words to herself. The old lady looked at her with a darkened look, but she didn't say anything else.

After staying for another quarter of an hour, it was really boring. Shen Wan was curious about how Xie Jingyan and her elder brother were playing chess, so she got up and left.

Taking a leisurely stroll to the front yard and heading towards the study, she saw Shen Du pushing Xie Jingyan out from a distance. Shen Wan walked over and heard Shen Du sigh with emotion, "It's better to be the brother-in-law. In the past, you never played chess. If you don’t let me, now that you have married my sister, you don’t even dare to beat me in chess.”

Shen Wan's footsteps stopped abruptly as she walked over, her face flushed in the sunlight.

Xie Jingyan's ears were slightly red and he said, "I haven't played chess for a long time, so I'm rusty."

Shen Du smiled and said, "Although my chess skills are not as good as yours, I still know whether you give in to me or not."

Xie Jingyan, "..."

Shen Wan couldn't listen anymore, regretted coming and prepared to leave quietly.

But before she turned around, Shen Du saw her and called her, "We are over here..."

I want to sew my eldest brother's mouth shut.

Shen Wan walked over, pretending that he hadn't heard anything just now, and asked, "Have you finished playing chess so soon?"

Shen Du said, "Something happened at the military camp. The deputy general came to see my father. It was almost lunch time and he didn't get off."

Shen Du pushed the wheelchair forward, and several people chatted one after another. They stayed in the garden for a while, and then went to Qinghui Courtyard around lunch time.

When they arrived, Xie Jingyin and the second master were both there. After waiting for about half a cup of tea, Shen Jing came, and everyone sat down to eat together.

After sitting down, Xie Jingyan took a piece of the braised pork ribs in front of him and put it into Shen Wan's bowl, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Poor Shen Wan's thin face couldn't bear it all of a sudden.

Really, I was completely unprepared for him to do something like this. She was the one who picked up the food for him in Prince Ling's Mansion...

Shen Wan looked up at Xie Jingyan, and unexpectedly met his doting eyes. Shen Wan's heart skipped a beat.
