I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

Gao Ni and Fu Yuzheng's wedding was a grand affair. In order to show her status as a legitimate mother, Lady Lin, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, invited all those who she had only a passing acquaintance with.

Even so, there were people who had no connection with us at all, who had not received any invitations, but who came with expensive gifts... uninvited!

There are still many!

For example, the family of Xuan De Hou Mansion (in the previous life, the family of my third uncle’s wife).

It is said that, because Fu Yuzheng's family was becoming more and more powerful, Xuan Dehou and his wife had long wanted to make friends with them, but had never found an opportunity.

Last time, I accidentally learned that Fu Yuzheng's family picked up the handkerchief of their concubine's daughter... Shen Yan, and chased after the carriage to return it.

Marquis Xuan De and his wife knew that the opportunity had come.

Upon learning that Gao Ni and Fu Yuzheng were getting married today, the couple decisively brought their families and valuable gifts to congratulate them.

At this wedding banquet, male and female guests were not separated, and tables were set according to family.

The seats of Xuan Dehou's family were not too far from the chief seat, probably about ten tables away.

Seeing an opportunity, the Xuande Marquis and his wife brought their children Shen Ying, Shen Yan and others to the chief seat to toast Fu Xiaotian and Tao Ying and his wife:

"Thanks to your children's help last time, otherwise my Yan'er's personal belongings would have been lost outside and I wouldn't know where to put my face."

Fu Xiaotian and Tao Ying: ...

The two were completely confused and had no idea about the "handkerchief" incident.

Fu Yushu, who was sitting nearby, was an insider and quickly explained to his parents, "Our servant picked up Miss Shen's handkerchief and chased after the carriage to return it."

Fu Yushu knew that it was her sister who picked up the handkerchief and asked the servant to return it, but she inexplicably did not like the Xuan Dehou family's fawning and bullying style, so she put all the blame on the servant.

I don't want to be too involved with Xuan Dehou's family.

Was it all done by the servant?

Upon hearing this, Marquis Xuan De and his wife felt a little embarrassed.

But to make friends, all you need is an opportunity. Even if it was really done by a servant, he was still a servant of the Fu family.

Therefore, Lady Xuande quickly changed her words and praised Tao Ying with a smile: "Lady Jingyang knows how to train servants. Her character is first-class, nothing to say."

After saying that, he specially asked Shen Yan (the wife of his third uncle in the previous life, the girl who had morning sickness ten days after marriage and cheated on his third uncle) to come forward and toast him with a glass of wine.

Every time Shen Yan went out to socialize with her stepmother, her stepmother would find her a brand new dress and dress her up beautifully in order to gain a reputation for being virtuous.

I saw Shen Yan (my third uncle’s wife in the previous life) walking towards me gracefully.

She was wearing an exquisite pink gauze skirt embroidered with red lotus flowers, and a purple shawl hung on her elbows, swaying in the wind, exuding an indescribable beauty.

Shen Yan obediently raised the wine cup and toasted: "Yan'er is grateful to Madam Jingyang for her good training."

Tao Ying took a look at her and saw that she had red lips, white teeth, fair skin, and a hint of intelligence between her eyebrows. She couldn't help but admired Lady Xuande:

"Your daughter is so pretty!"

Lady Xuande Hou didn't like to hear this.

Her biological daughters all took after their father, with hideously ugly wheat-colored skin that could not be whitened even with makeup.

But this concubine's daughter was born fair.

She would have died of anger long ago.

But when they were outside, Lady Xuan Dehou had to put on a fake smile and praise Shen Yan a lot, and then use Shen Yan as a springboard to chat more with Tao Ying.

That's how you make friends, you become familiar with each other as you chat.

While the two mistresses were chatting, Shen Yan automatically stepped aside.

At this time, a summer breeze blew by, lifting Shen Yan's purple shawl. The purple shawl fluttered in the sunset glow, adding a sense of elegant beauty to Shen Yan.

At once, almost all the male guests at the nearby tables looked over.

Shen Ying, the eldest sister, suddenly wanted to embarrass Shen Yan, so she quietly approached her, grabbed her shawl with her hands and pulled it... and the shawl flew away with the wind.

"Ah, my shawl."

Shen Yan (the wife of Uncle San in the previous life) immediately went to catch him, but it was too late...

The purple shawl fluttered... until it reached the second table behind the chief, and was suddenly caught by the neck of a tall man.

——What a coincidence, it was hung on the neck of my third uncle Fu Xiaozhen!

Fu Xiaozhen: ...

The whole person froze.

It is true that when a man sits at the table, women's things come from the sky.

Fu Xiaozhen, who had never touched a woman before, felt as if he was electrocuted even though his neck was only touched by a woman's shawl...his face was extremely tense!

When Dieyi and Cui Jiaojiao looked up, Fu Xiaozhen had not yet recovered.

Cui Jiaojiao immediately stood up and pulled the purple shawl off her uncle's neck.

At this time, Shen Yan walked over shyly. She recognized Fu Xiaozhen at a glance. He was the man covered by her flying handkerchief last time.

This time, her shawl was entangled with him again.

Such fate...

Shen Yan's face suddenly turned... red.

Shen Yan was so shy that she stuttered, "Master Fu, I'm sorry, this scarf is... mine."

Fu Xiaozhen didn't turn his head to look at her.

Cui Jiaojiao recognized Shen Yan at a glance, and remembered what Fu Yuzheng said last time - Shen Yan loved to blush in front of men, and would blush at the slightest provocation.

Cui Jiaojiao naturally trusted Fu Yuzheng, so when she saw Shen Yan using this trick again, she was extremely disgusted and threw the purple shawl into Shen Yan's hand without any courtesy, saying:

"Be careful. You can't even hang a shawl. You always cause trouble for others."

Shen Yan: ...

Startled.

As if she couldn't bear such words, her face suddenly turned red.

Immediately, Shen Yan had an embarrassed look on her face and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Cui Jiaojiao nodded: "Okay, this won't happen again, it's okay."

From beginning to end, Fu Xiaozhen didn't look at Shen Yan, nor did he say a word, just letting Cui Jiaojiao handle it.

As a result, Shen Yan became more and more embarrassed.

Sister Shen Ying felt particularly happy when she saw Shen Yan being humiliated!

——Oh, even vixen is not welcomed sometimes!

At this moment, Lady Lin, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, saw the chaos and hurried over to ask what was going on.

Shen Ying was a show-off. Before Shen Yan could answer, she stepped forward and said:

"Madam Zhenguo, it's nothing, just a small matter. My little sister accidentally dropped her shawl and disturbed Master Fu."

"Fortunately, Lord Fu was magnanimous and did not pursue the matter."

Once these words were spoken, the whole story was explained clearly, and Fu Xiaozhen's good upbringing was praised. He really was a man who knew how to handle things.

Lin immediately took a serious look at Shen Ying. She found that although her skin was not white and her appearance was barely acceptable, she had a good demeanor and was a beautiful woman with temperament.

——It may not look amazing at first glance, but the more you look at it, the more you like it. It requires patience to appreciate it.

When she learned that Shen Ying was the eldest daughter of Xuande Marquis's mansion, Lin's eyes became brighter, and she nodded and smiled, "That's good, that's good."

At this time, Gao Yan suddenly stood up from his seat, walked over to Lin and said:

"Mother, I saw it clearly just now. It was this Miss Shen who tore off her sister's scarf and made her sister embarrassed."

Shen Ying: ???

Whose young master is this? He is so ignorant!

After being stunned for a moment, Lin quickly glanced at her sister Shen Yan. Seeing that Shen Yan had a vixen-like face, she immediately thought of another vixen, Fu Yuyao, in her son's room, and her face immediately darkened.

No one knows a son better than his mother. Couldn't Lin see that Gao Yan preferred vixen-like girls like Shen Yan?

Lin immediately glared at Gao Yan in displeasure and said coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about in public? Shut up!"

As the young master of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Gao Yan did not think about how to settle a conflict between the guests, but instead stirred up trouble again after it was settled.

Mrs. Lin felt upset when she saw her son being so tactless!

As for Gao Yan, his mother glared at him. Although he was not convinced, he didn't say anything more in the end.

In recent years, Gao Yan's arrogance had been worn away by his failure in the imperial examination and the frustrations in officialdom. How could he dare to talk back to his mother?

At this time, Shen Ying had already guessed who Gao Yan was, and hurriedly smiled at Lin, "Don't be angry, Auntie, the prince just made a mistake for a moment. I don't take it to heart at all."

A face full of calm and composed.

It seems as if what I said is really similar.

Her confident laughter immediately reversed the tense atmosphere.

Lin glanced at Shen Ying. Shen Ying's ability to respond was much better than that of her own son.

Finally, he glanced at Shen Yan lightly.

At this time, Lin already knew that Shen Yan, who looked like a foxy girl, was a concubine's daughter, and she became even less interested in her. She said a few words casually and sent Shen Yan back to her seat.

Instead, he pulled Shen Ying aside and talked for a while longer.

~

As a concubine's daughter, Shen Yan had suffered many grievances when attending banquets, but she usually didn't take it too seriously.

But today, in front of Fu Xiaozhen... her face was damaged, and Shen Yan felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.

So, she returned to her seat and not long after sitting there, she lied that she was full and went to the garden to enjoy the flowers and relax.

Unexpectedly, two quarters of an hour later, he saw Fu Xiaozhen leaving the table and coming to the garden from afar.

Fearing that he might misunderstand her, Shen Yan deliberately took a detour and waited on the road that Fu Xiaozhen must pass. When Fu Xiaozhen approached, Shen Yan knelt down and saluted, then tried to explain:

"Master Fu, I am deeply sorry that the incident with the shawl made you uncomfortable earlier."

"But just as the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion said, it was not caused by my carelessness, but my eldest sister's deliberate mischief."

As Shen Yan spoke, a hint of grievance flashed in her eyes.

Shen Yan is so charming and looks so tearful. To be honest, it is hard for most men to resist her and it is easy to arouse their desire to protect her.

If Fu Yuzheng were here, she would definitely be anxious, fearing that her uncle would be like he was in the last life... and give his true heart to her.

Unexpectedly, in this life...

After hearing this, Fu Xiaozhen frowned slightly and said lightly: "Miss Shen, you and I are not related, so there is no need to come to me to explain."

After saying that, he strode around her and walked away.

Shen Yan: ...

My heart suddenly felt empty, as if a piece of something was missing...something I once had.

She turned around and followed Fu Xiaozhen's straight back with her eyes, with a look of loss on her face.

"Master Fu, could it be that... you are not my destined one?"

Her things - the handkerchief and the shawl - were entangled with Fu Xiaozhen twice. Isn't this a coincidence that God intended to bring him and her together?

Shen Yan bit her lip silently.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind her. Shen Yan turned around and saw that it was Gao Yan, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, who was walking towards her with a lantern.

"Greetings, Young Master. Thank you for your righteous words earlier." Shen Yan said as she knelt down to express her gratitude.

Gao Yan paused, recognizing her as the girl from the Shen family who had been wronged earlier. He immediately said with a guilty look on his face, "Miss Shen, you don't have to thank me. I can't help you in any way."

"No, the prince has helped me a lot."

At least Fu Xiaozhen knew that she didn't do it on purpose to be seductive... and wrap the shawl around his neck, but was framed by her elder sister.

This truth is very important to her!

Seeing Shen Yan so grateful to him, Gao Yan felt warm at heart.

To be honest, he hasn't felt needed and respected for a long time since he failed in the Spring Examination.

It’s been a long time.

Therefore, Gao Yan couldn't help but look at the warm-hearted Shen Yan a few more times.

At this moment, Fu Yuyao also came.

Originally, tonight was the wedding day of Fu Yuzheng and Gao Ni, but Fu Yuyao stayed in her room and didn't bother to come out to watch the ceremony or drink the wedding wine.

But inexplicably, she suddenly felt an unusual tightness in her chest and felt that something ominous was happening, so she decided to come out.

result……

As soon as I came out, I ran into Gao Yan flirting with a young girl?

"Gao Yan, what are you doing?" Fu Yuyao shouted loudly, as if she was catching someone committing adultery.

If it had happened in the past, Gao Yan would have been afraid that she would be angry and would have immediately run over to hug her and comfort her.

But now?

The love between the two had quickly turned sour in their chaotic marriage life.

——Fu Yuyao despised Gao Yan for being incompetent and having no real power, and for not being able to give her a life as high and mighty as that of "Fu Yushuo and Fu Yuzheng"!

——Gao Yan disliked Fu Yuyao as a jinx who brought him nothing but bad luck!

Ever since Fu Yuzheng's coming-of-age party, when the two were caught having an affair in the "rockery", the halo above his head has gradually disappeared. It's like being splashed with basins of shit and urine, the stench is overwhelming, people point fingers at him wherever he goes, and his life becomes more and more difficult day by day!

As a result, the two of them went from being deeply in love to now... being disgusted with each other!

Therefore, seeing Fu Yuyao looking like she had caught someone having an affair, Gao Yan not only did not want to comfort her, but was also extremely unhappy. He glared at Fu Yuyao and said unhappily:

"How can you make such a loud noise in a public place? Go back and copy the Women's Rules and Women's Training ten times each. If you can't finish them, you won't be able to sleep tonight!"

Fu Yuyao: ???

For that pink skirt girl, she has to be punished?!

Fu Yuyao was immediately furious. She rushed over, grabbed Gao Yan by the collar and started to make a scene: "What did you say? Say it again?"

Gao Yan was really fed up with this shrew.

Seeing Shen Yan looking at this side, Gao Yan, driven by vanity, slapped Fu Yuyao directly and angrily scolded: "You have no manners. As a concubine, you dare to use violence against the master!"

"Someone, take Aunt Yao back to me. You are not allowed to leave the room until you finish copying the "Female Rules" and "Female Training"!"

Fu Yuyao: ???

She was completely stunned.

How dare Gao Yan treat her like this?

How dare?

She is Fu Yuyao!

But before she could start making a fuss again, several sturdy old women came up quickly, picked up Fu Yuyao and walked towards the prince's courtyard.

"Gao Yan, you said you would love me forever, but I've only been married to you for a few years and you treat me like this!"

"Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

The following words were not shouted out, and all turned into “wooooooo” sounds.

It turned out that those old women were very experienced and quickly took out handkerchiefs to cover Fu Yuyao's mouth.

After Fu Yuyao was dragged away, Gao Yan's tense face finally relaxed. He turned to Shen Yan and said, "My concubine doesn't know the rules and disturbed Miss Shen."

Shen Yan was indeed shocked. She had never seen a concubine as arrogant as Fu Yuyao!

After being stunned for a moment, Shen Yan couldn't help but say, "This concubine... is indeed a little ignorant of the rules. The prince did the right thing, and she should be severely punished."

Another "you did the right thing"; Gao Yan really hadn't heard that for a long time - an affirmation of his words.

Long time no see, long time no see.

It's been too long.

It had been so long that when he heard it suddenly tonight, his heart warmed up.
