On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

"Sir, you haven't been back to your residence for a long time since the reform. Why don't you go back today?"

The subordinate looked distressed and hurried forward to persuade him.

After all, when Xia Huai'en said this, he meant that the battle would last until dawn.

Xia Huai'en frowned and said coldly: "Now is the critical moment. How can we talk about whether it is hard or not when we have to pay the court?"

After the words were spoken, the subordinates were at a loss for words.

I could only ask someone to bring another box of candles.

into the night.

In the bathroom, the candlelight flickered.

Qing'e brought a basin of hot water and poured it into Shen Wantang's bathtub.

"No need for such hot water." Shen Wantang stopped after pouring halfway.

Qing'e frowned, but she could only put down the basin in her hand: "Miss, you always take a bath with cold water, it will damage your body."

Shen Wantang slowly closed his eyes: "It's better to be colder. It's better to be colder so that I can remember the blood feud."

Qing'e was fiddling with something in her hands and didn't hear clearly what Shen Wantang said.

"Miss, what did you say?" She turned her head and asked with raised eyebrows.

Shen Wantang raised his eyes and smiled calmly: "Nothing."

"Have you prepared your clothes for tomorrow's palace banquet?" Shen Wantang asked.

"It's already been prepared and ironed. I even bought some spices and fumigated the clothes."

Qing'e said impatiently.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wantang's eyes shone: "Go and air out the clothes quickly. If there is another palace banquet in the future, remember not to use these spices again."

The smile on Qing'e's face suddenly disappeared, and she turned around and gave instructions to the maid who was yelling outside.

But she didn't understand and lowered her eyes in disappointment.

Seeing Qing'e's sadness, Shen Wantang explained: "Tomorrow's palace banquet is a big day. If we use spices, wouldn't it be distracting? Just keep it light and simple, and don't leave any handle for others."

Qing'e nodded.

After taking a bath, Shen Wantang returned to her room.

The next day.

The carriage was already waiting at the gate.

"Father, why hasn't my sister come yet? Is it because I got up late?" Shen Ying was already impatient, staring at the door of the mansion with a gloomy look.

General Shen said calmly: "It's okay, it's still early."

Seeing her father like this, Shen Ying turned her head away with an unhappy look on her face. If it weren't for Aunt Liu holding her back, she would have probably made an unhappy complaint in the next second.

"Father." A cold voice came over, and Shen Ying raised her head.

I saw a man in sky blue walking towards me slowly.

Shen Ying's eyes fell on Shen Wantang's clothes, and her expression suddenly changed.

"Sister is truly graceful. This Suzhou embroidery outfit is so beautiful that it would outshine all the ladies in the palace."

After saying that, a sarcastic expression appeared on his sour face.

Shen Wantang didn't respond to her.

"Father, this palace banquet is of great importance. Why did you invite such irrelevant people?" Shen Wantang asked, his eyes fixed on General Shen.

"The invitation did say that they would bring their families. Ying'er has never seen such a grand occasion before. We can go together today and broaden our horizons."

General Shen responded.

Since his father had already spoken, Shen Wantang didn't say much. He took Qing'e's hand and got on the carriage.

But Aunt Liu beside her didn't intend to let her go.

"Ying'er is a rough-mannered person, and today is her first time entering the palace. There are many things she doesn't understand. Miss is kind-hearted and will definitely bear some of it."

When the pretentious voice sounded, Shen Wantang felt nauseous.

She paused, turned back and sneered: "Aunt, what are you talking about? Aunt, you are elegant and polite, how could the Shen Ying you taught be vulgar? But don't flatter me anymore, otherwise, I'm afraid I will have to burrow into the ground."

"Big sister, I know you are dissatisfied with my mother, but no matter what, she can be considered your elder. How can you speak in such a pretentious tone?"

Shen Ying stepped forward and spoke anxiously, but Aunt Liu beside her lifted her sleeves and pretended to cry.

"Mother? Elder? You are really as vulgar as Aunt Liu said. It doesn't matter. I will teach you now so that you won't make trouble again when you enter the palace."

Shen Wantang turned around, full of arrogance, glanced at Aunt Liu, and then spoke:

"Your mother is your stepmother, not the concubine Liu in front of you. She can only be your stepmother, not my biological mother. The elders have no right to talk about it. When concubine Liu came to my Shen family, she was a maid. Even after giving birth to you, she was still a maid."

"Nowadays, the place in the world that values ​​rules and etiquette the most is the Imperial Palace. Sister Shen Ying can't even figure this out. I think it's better for her not to embarrass herself there."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Wantang turned around and waved his sleeves.

Seeing this, Aunt Liu knelt down immediately, grabbed her sleeves, and begged: "Miss, I know I was wrong. Ying'er was just confused for a moment. Please don't take it to heart."

As she spoke, Aunt Liu grabbed Shen Ying's hand and tried to make her kneel down.

But Shen Ying was a tough guy. She held her head high and stared at Shen Wantang, showing no intention of giving in.

Shen Wantang glanced at her, then lowered her eyes to look at Aunt Liu: "Aunt, there is no need to pretend to be pitiful here. You must know that if a person pretends to be asleep, he cannot be awakened. Aunt, whether you really know you are wrong or just talking nonsense, Aunt knows it in your heart."

Seeing that the time to enter the palace was approaching, Shen Wantang was too lazy to say anything more to the mother and daughter. He raised his sleeves, pulled the sleeves out of Aunt Liu's hands, and said coldly: "Hurry up and leave. If you miss the time to enter the palace, others will use our Shen family as a handle again."

Shen Wantang got on the carriage and it quietly left.

Shen Ying was so angry that she was shaking all over.

"Bitch, bitch! What a bitch! Now Daddy just asked me to go to the palace to attend the palace banquet and she is like this. If I join the Duke's Mansion, who knows how she will plot against me!"

Aunt Liu staggered to her feet and waved for the carriage to come forward.

"Don't worry, Ying'er. There's still a lot of time left. Who can say for sure? I heard that there are people from Duke Dingguo's family attending the palace banquet today. You must seize this opportunity."

As she spoke, Aunt Liu took off the golden hairpin on her head and put it on her daughter's head.

As she watched the carriage slowly go away, hatred slowly rose in Aunt Liu's eyes.

"If I had known earlier, I would have drowned Shen Wantang, that little bitch, in the river when she was a child!"

The maid beside her came forward, patted Aunt Liu's back and comforted her, "Don't be angry, Aunt, there is still a long time to come. Shen Wantang has made many enemies in the court now. When the time comes, we don't need to do anything, someone will help us deal with her."

After hearing this, Aunt Liu finally calmed down.

"When the time comes, when my daughter joins the lord's family, I want to see how Shen Wantang humiliates us!"
