Green tea was read, the villain's family begged me to be happy

Wei Jiao immediately stepped forward and bowed to Jiang Chengyi to express her gratitude.

Jiang Chengyi supported himself on the wheelchair and tried to stand up, but was immediately held down by Xiao Cen.

"How can you be so honest, kid? Sit down quickly, or you'll hurt yourself worse. Is your leg okay?" Xiao Cen asked again.

"It's okay, it's only natural for a father to beat his son, but a father knows his limits and won't beat you to death. Please rest assured, aunt. I have been able to walk with crutches these days, but it is more convenient for me to sit in a wheelchair when I travel." Jiang Chengyi waved his hands and explained in a soft voice.

"That's good, that's good." Xiao Cen said it twice, and finally a smile appeared on her face, obviously she was truly grateful.

Looking at this harmonious scene of aunt and nephew, Li Chunlan couldn't hold back any longer and pulled Xu Wanying over to complain.

"Look, they are worried that their future son-in-law will be crippled. Their daughter cannot marry a cripple. When they heard the little beast say that he would not be crippled, they were relieved. Their daughter can still marry him. It seems that she has decided to marry him in our mansion."

"One's heart is as high as the sky, but one's life is as thin as paper."

Xu Wanying couldn't help but secretly look at Cen's face. Li Chunlan scolded Jiang Chengyi and laughed out loud, but Cen didn't react at all. Didn't she hear it?

But they were very close to each other, and in front of all these people, Cen was holding back her anger and was going to explode when she returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

"Why didn't my father-in-law beat him harder? He was able to get out of bed so quickly and go out to attend the banquet!" Xu Wanying couldn't help but echoed.

"That's right, Dad must have been soft-hearted at that time." Li Chunlan nodded.

She said this, but in her heart she was thinking: If the news of the artifact had not been released too late, Marquis Zhongyi would have thought that this was his own son and would have killed him long ago.

Seeing the discussions around them growing louder, Mrs. Cen immediately spoke up, interrupting little Mrs. Cen's concern.

"That's all right. He's in good health, nothing will go wrong. Today is Sister Jiao's birthday, don't neglect her."

Xiao Cen seemed to be a little reluctant to leave. She patted Jiang Chengyi on the shoulder and told the servant beside her: "Please take good care of your master. Don't let him drink. If he is tired, go to the guest room to rest."

"Yes." The servant was a little confused. These words should have been said by the Marquis's wife, so why did Aunt Xiao Cen interfere?

After watching Jiang Chengyi being sent to the front yard, Xiao Cen recovered and continued to greet guests.

When all the female guests arrived, Xiao Cen returned to the flower hall in the backyard and saw a group of female relatives surrounding her.

"Oh, why is the Marquis' wife so young? Standing next to your daughter-in-law, they look like sisters!"

"Exactly. What delicious food did you eat? The last time I saw you was on Chengli's wedding day. It's only been three months, and you've become so young. Ginseng? Blood swallow? Or did you ask some miracle doctor to treat you?"

Among this group of women, all of them were the mistresses of the household. After all, Cen was the wife of a marquis, and the ladies of smaller families did not dare to come near her.

Xiao Cen couldn't help being jealous, especially because her husband, Wei Xianshangfeng's wife, Mrs. Yu.

Wei Xian's assessment and evaluation were all controlled by his superiors, and whether he could be promoted depended on his superiors' wishes. Therefore, Wei Xian specifically told her to serve Madam Yu well and go back to persuade her to make it easier for him to be promoted.

Just now, after Madam Yu got off the carriage, Xiao Cen went to greet her, but it was like she was being snubbed, like a creditor coming to collect a debt.

But at this moment, Mrs. Yu surrounded Cen Ying, smiling like a flower, and couldn't stop praising her. She wanted to praise her to the sky. It was completely different from before.

This huge contrast was totally unacceptable to her.

Seeing Cen Ying surrounded and flattered by the crowd, little Cen felt as if she had been hit hard, as if she had returned to her childhood. Other noble ladies also treated her and her sisters in the same way.

Even though she thought Cen Ying was inferior to her in every way, in everyone's eyes there was only Cen Ying, not her.

She was abandoned in a dark corner like a stink bug that couldn't stand the light. This became her nightmare and a psychological shadow of her childhood.

I originally thought that after getting married, I would no longer have to suffer such torture. I never expected that this nightmare would last so long and I have not gotten rid of it until today.

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Cen took two deep breaths, calmed herself down, walked forward slowly, and asked softly.

"It is said that the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Look at the women brought out by the Marquis' wife, they are all beautiful and charming. Even she herself is as young as a green onion!" Madam Yu took the initiative to join in the fun.

Cen Ying immediately responded, "What do you mean by young onion? I am clearly an old onion!"

The two of them sang in unison, instantly causing a burst of laughter, and the ladies all chatted and laughed to join in the fun.

Mrs. Cen's face froze. This lively scene belonged entirely to the Jiang family and had nothing to do with the mother and daughter of the Wei family. It was impossible to tell that it was her daughter's birthday. It seemed more like Cen Ying's birthday.

"From what I've seen, my elder sister and Yujie are indeed mother and daughter. They look very similar, rich and elegant. This one must be Chengli's wife, she's a little delicate, she needs to eat more to gain weight so she can give birth to a son. My nephew's wife -"

Xiao Cen walked a few steps closer and looked at her in a pretentious manner, obviously picking on the weak.

He first praised the mother and daughter of the Cen family, then seemed to be concerned but actually belittled Xu Wanying. When it was finally Li Chunlan's turn, little Cen was silent for a moment, as if she had nothing to say.

It took a lot of effort to utter: "My eldest nephew's wife is here too."

Li Chunlan was originally looking forward to what good words she could say, but she never expected that just three words "also came" were a fatal blow.

Obviously everyone understood the meaning of these words. They really had nothing to say to Li Chunlan, it was just a passing mention.

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter in the front hall, and even Mrs. Yu couldn't hold it back. What Xiao Cen said was really too harsh.

What is more painful than being belittled is being ignored.

Li Chunlan was originally trying to smile, but after falling into such an embarrassing situation, she couldn't laugh at all.

She was so embarrassed that her face turned red. She was at a loss and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

But it was difficult to say anything. After all, Xiao Cen didn't say anything bad, so I didn't even have a chance to refute.

"Aunt, there's lip grease on your teeth."

A crisp voice was heard, and the laughter in the hall suddenly stopped. Cen, who was laughing happily, immediately shut up.

When everyone looked over, they saw the new daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Loyalty standing there, looking at Xiao Cen with concern.

Xiao Cen's face tightened, she coughed lightly, and pretended to be calm and said, "Really? I was covering my mouth with a handkerchief when I laughed just now. Did my niece-in-law see it wrongly?"

"Yes, I saw it just now, but I didn't dare to say it. Auntie laughed so happily that her lip balm got on me."

This time, Xiao Cen didn't even dare to open her mouth. Everyone's eyes were staring at her mouth, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

She stopped laughing, and naturally couldn't bare her teeth in public to ask for confirmation, so she could only cover her mouth with a handkerchief and said softly, "Everyone, I'll excuse me for a moment. Have some tea first."

After saying this, she hurried away with her maid.
