The Green Tea Lady was reborn as the God of House Fighting
Chapter 117: Returning to the Gate 3
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the mansion. When the girl was helped down by the maid, she looked up and saw a luxurious carriage parked opposite. On the corner of the carriage was a nameplate with a gilded word "Fu" engraved on it.
It seems that Ruan Yuxi arrived earlier than them.
The girl thought so as she walked hand in hand with the young man. When they stepped into the flower hall in the main courtyard, they heard a deliberately sharp laugh.
She walked around the screen and saw a group of sisters sitting in the hall. Among them, Ruan Yuxi had a smile on her face. She turned her head and looked at the girl with cold eyes, and hatred flashed across her eyes.
"Fifth sister is late!" Without waiting for anyone to speak, she stood up, took the cup and poured a glass of wine, then passed it to the girl, "I want to punish you with a glass, you won't deny it, right?"
Yuluan and her had already torn their relationship apart to some extent. She stretched out her fingertips to take the cup handed over by the woman, but she handed it to Qiu Xiu. She turned around and smiled at Ruan Yuxi with a calm tone.
"Fourth sister, I feel dizzy after riding in the carriage today and I don't want to drink. You won't force me to drink, right?"
These words were vaguely disrespectful to Ruan Yuxi, but she was now the wife of the Crown Prince of the Duke of Xuan's Mansion. If nothing unexpected happened, she would be the one to manage the Duke of Xuan's Mansion in the future... Who would dare to say "no"?
Ruan Yuxi's face suddenly darkened. It was obvious that since she married into Fushan Palace, few people dared to disrespect her like this.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, the second and third ladies stepped forward to smooth things over.
"We are all sisters! Why are we so confrontational?"
Ruan Yuxi couldn't argue with her in front of everyone, that would be really disgraceful... Now that she was away from home, she also represented the face of Fushan Palace.
Therefore, she just sneered and said, "Fifth sister is now the wife of the prince of the Duke's Mansion. Naturally, she can't be as cautious as before. Just follow your own temper!"
Ruan Yuluan was too lazy to pay attention to her and pretended not to hear her. She walked forward and greeted the master and the mistress.
When the couple met Yin Xu, they were naturally respectful and polite, and their attitude towards Yu Luan was also very friendly and gentle.
It was a rare day for the whole family to gather together. During lunch, the young girl brought up something: "…In my hometown of Meizhou, the Guiyue Pavilion where Aunt Lou and I lived, I'm afraid it's now deserted, right?"
"I often miss the days when I lived with my aunt. I want to renovate the courtyard and offer a perpetual lamp to her in the Meizhou temple and place her tablet in the ancestral hall."
This was the real purpose of her return home today... to clear the name of Aunt Lou who died tragically.
After these words were spoken, the lady's expression turned cold.
Isn't it an insult to the legitimate wife to request such a solemn commemoration of a deceased concubine? How will these concubines view her in the future?
A flash of anger flashed across the wife's eyes, but out of consideration for her feelings, she could only speak slowly and calmly: "This... I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Aunt Lou is just a concubine that our family bought with a few taels of silver... To put it bluntly, she is just a toy. How can she be enshrined in the ancestral hall?"
When she spoke these words, her tone was inevitably a little cold, and contained a hint of anger.
Yu Luan slowly put down her bowl and chopsticks and glanced to the side without saying a word.
Aunt Xi scooped a spoonful of meatballs and put it into Master Ruan's bowl. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "Madam, there is no need to be so angry. In my opinion, the Fifth Lady is now the wife of the Duke's Mansion. How honorable is this? Our family also benefits from it! Although Aunt Lou is a concubine in the mansion, she is also the mother of the Fifth Lady... Giving her respect is also giving respect to the Fifth Lady! As the saying goes, don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face!"
This makes sense. After all, Yu Luan's status and position are no longer what they used to be.
Mr. Ruan hesitated slightly, and when everyone at the table was waiting for his response, he finally nodded reluctantly for Yu Luan's sake.
"Madam Lou gave birth to a daughter for me, and died of illness after years of hard work. I feel very guilty, so I will follow Luan Niang's wishes and enshrine her in the ancestral hall!"
The girl couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly and gave a rare smile of genuine gratitude to her nominal father.
The lady's face was as gloomy as water. Halfway through the meal, she got up and went to rest for a while, saying she had a headache.
The rest of the people continued to eat happily, but Ruan Yuxi couldn't bear to see her sincerity. Her eyes turned slightly and she couldn't help but bring up something.
"...My birthday is at the beginning of next month," Ruan Yuxi's eyes were inevitably tinged with pride when she said this, and her eyes swept over everyone at the table, "The prince said that we should make good arrangements and invite many guests...Several of my sisters should come!"
Ruan Yuluan couldn't help but look at her carefully.
She was wearing a red satin long skirt with peony pattern embroidered on it, and a pomegranate red thin shirt with gold silk brocade pattern. She wore two gold and jade bracelets on her slender white wrists. Her black hair was tied into a high bun, and she wore a golden hairpin with twin crabapple flowers in the bun, and three or four strings of silver phoenix inlaid with jade beads next to it. Her charming and attractive appearance was set off by her charming eyebrows and eyes, which were too gorgeous and looked a bit vulgar.
The girl's eyes glanced at the smile on her face, but she couldn't help but feel curious.
Before getting married, Ruan Yuxi was extremely reluctant, but after a short while, she changed her attitude and seemed to be enjoying it very much.
It is impossible for a person's attitude to change so much if there were no reasons unknown to outsiders...
The girl lowered her eyelashes slightly, thinking about something.
Although the sisters did not get along with Ruan Yuxi at home, they gave her face and verbally agreed to come back.
Ruan Yuxi was slightly satisfied, then she turned her head and looked at the girl she cared about most.
"Fifth sister, your status has changed now, and you have become more impressive. You won't look down on me, the prince's concubine... and refuse to show me your favor, right?"
The girl came back to her senses, curved her lips towards her, smiled softly, her brows softened.
"What are you saying, Fourth Sister... Of course I am happy to support you."
A hint of complacency flashed across Ruan Yuxi's eyes, and she smiled, then went to show off to Sixth Lady with her hair full of pearls and jade.
After lunch, they chatted for a while when Mother Liu came out from the inner room with an embarrassment on her face and invited everyone to sit and stroll in the garden.
"Madam said she felt dizzy," Madam Liu said with a smile on her face, "She needs to sleep for a while. She can't stand the noise. Please go for a walk first, ladies."
All the sisters stood up. Having said that, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the lady was irritated by Yu Luan's proposal today.
The girl also stood up. After dinner, Mr. Ruan and Yin Xu went to the study in the front yard to talk.
Before leaving, Ruan Yuxi raised her voice and gave a reminder towards the window of the inner room.
"Madam, please take care of yourself. If your son gets angry now, your second brother will be in a hopeless situation!"
These words pierced the lady's heart. Yu Luan deliberately walked behind and greeted Madam Liu.
Seeing Mama Liu's worried look, she couldn't help but smile and said softly, "Mom, we have Madam Yu! The eldest son is a promising man, and Madam Yu will have a respectable position with him. You just wait to enjoy the good life!"
Last year, my eldest brother passed the imperial examination and was sent to Jiangnan to be a minor official. My wife is too lazy to take care of him and has no intention of finding a partner for him.
During the past two months, I heard that he had made great achievements, and that his only concubine, Yu, was pregnant again. The couple had a very good relationship, and they were living a very sweet life.
If she is transferred back to the capital to serve as an official in the future, or if the person in the main courtyard falls from power, Mother Liu will not be afraid of suffering the same misfortune as her wife because she has such a daughter.
