The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Today, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion is marrying a new daughter-in-law. Although it is not as grand as when Master Jiang Wu married the Princess Anping, a lot of wedding money was still spent along the way.

At this time, there are still many pedestrians wandering on the road, which looks festive and lively.

The shattering sound was particularly abrupt in the noisy street, causing pedestrians on the street to stop and look over, surprised at this sudden change.

The luxurious carriage that was just driving on the road, in the eyes of everyone, was suddenly left with only a carriage board standing there.

There are a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law in the carriage. The old lady keeps beating people; the middle-aged lady holds her head with a submissive look; the two maids kneel side by side, the scene is very weird.

"This is the carriage of the Minister of Works Wang Fengliang!" Someone in the crowd said this.

"The Wang family is the in-law of Duke Dingguo, right? He must be a very high-ranking official!"

"A second-rank court official, do you think that's great?"

"Haha, such a high-ranking official, but his carriage is of such poor quality. It's not as good as the one I bought at the horse market for only twenty taels of silver."

"Oh, the Ministry of Works! Even their own products are so shoddy. It's obvious that there are many unscrupulous things done in the court!"

...

There was a constant noise in her ears, and passers-by were saying all kinds of things, which kept pouring into Mrs. Wang's ears.

No matter how powerful she was in the harem, she had never encountered such a situation.

Not only her, but also her daughter-in-law and two maids. They used to live under her oppression and had no idea how to deal with the current situation.

Or it could be said that they were afraid that something they did or said would displease Old Lady Wang, and they would be scolded and punished when they returned home.

They all huddled there with their heads down, looking submissive, which made Old Lady Wang feel at a loss as to what to do.

The driver below was even more pale-faced. He knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Madam, I don't know what happened... How could the carriage break down while driving on a good road?"

Madam Wang raised her sleeves to cover her face and rebuked him in a low voice, "Go find someone. Do you want me to continue to embarrass myself here?"

The driver raised his head and looked left and right. The people around him were just onlookers, with no intention of offering a helping hand.

Instead, the words they spoke had gradually turned into distrust of the Ministry of Industry and doubts about Minister Wang's ability to work.

Madam Wang picked up the teacup that had fallen to her feet, raised her hand and touched the driver's head, saying sternly, "Go to Duke Dingguo's Mansion! Ask the Crown Prince's wife to send a car to take me back to the Wang family!"

Upon hearing this, the driver hurriedly agreed and stumbled back.

At this time, there was the sound of horse hooves. Old Lady Wang raised her wide sleeves and looked behind her through the gap.

It is rare in Shengjing City to have such personal guards accompanying you. This is the carriage of Zheng Wenyang, the Minister of War.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Madam Zheng, who had just been subtly mocked by her at the banquet hall of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, was looking in this direction with her eyes lowered.

Old Madam Wang covered her face with her sleeves and kicked her daughter-in-law beside her without saying a word.

As the carriage slowly passed by them, Madam Wang forced a smile on her face, "Madam Zheng, my mother-in-law and I are in some trouble. Could you please help me?"

I thought to myself that my eldest sister was the sister-in-law of Mrs. Jiang Wu, and this Mrs. Zheng was Mrs. Jiang Wu's aunt.

It's right to call her Madam Zheng, right? She said this and glanced timidly at Madam Wang beside her.

Zheng Wenyang's official rank was the same as her husband's, but Mrs. Zheng was about the same age as her eldest daughter, which made it too embarrassing for Mrs. Wang to ask for help.

Looking at his daughter-in-law's embarrassing appearance, he pinched her again in private.

Yao looked at Old Madam Wang for a few times, then glanced at Madam Wang apologetically.

To be honest, if Mrs. Wang was the only one here today, she would jump out of the car without saying a word and personally help Mrs. Wang into the car.

But Madam Wang’s expression at the banquet just now made her feel sick, and she definitely didn’t want to do anything that would go against her will.

The cold expression on his face was replaced by a smile, and he refused:

"When I left Duke Dingguo's mansion just now, the Crown Prince's wife gave me a basket of crabs as a return gift. A noble lady like you will definitely not like the smell. If I force myself to help, I will end up making things worse."

After saying this, he lowered the curtain and said, "Go quickly, don't let the smoke disturb the lady below."

The sound of carriages clattering was heard, and the low-key green-curtained carriage started moving again, led by the serious-looking guards.

Old Madam Wang choked so much that a mouthful of blood formed in her chest and she almost vomited it out of her throat.

Yao leaned back in the carriage, crossed her legs, and asked her husband, who was sitting beside her, "How is it? Do you have the same dignified spirit as the ladies of Shengjing City?"

Mr. Zheng San threw the peeled orange in his hand to her and said with a smile: "I didn't find that you are more dignified, but it is true that you are more articulate."

Yao was eating an orange and swinging her feet, looking very relaxed and happy:

"In the past, I never used to talk nonsense when I could take action in Sanjiang City, but now I have to be dignified at all times after coming to Shengjing City. If I can't make my words clear, I will be bullied by those pretentious women."

After saying that, she immediately sat up straight, as if she was afraid that he would misunderstand what she meant, "Your family is all good, no one bullies me!" Otherwise, she would not have peeled crabs for them.

Mr. Zheng Sanye hummed lightly, "Then stay here with peace of mind. If you feel bored, follow mother to do business. Or go to the farm to play. You will always find something that interests you."

Yao finished eating the orange in her hand before speaking, "You sent your two sons to Shengjing City, didn't you just want me to experience the feeling of separation between mother and son!"

"Oh, now that you have become a high-ranking official, the glory and wealth you have now will belong to my sons in the future. Naturally, I have to stay and help them protect this family business."

Master Zheng San came over and pinched the soft flesh on her cheek, "Remember what you said today!"

The curtains blocked everyone's view. Even though Old Lady Wang was unwilling, she could only watch the green-curtained carriage disappear from her sight.

It was not until Mrs. Wang learned about this and sent a carriage from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion that the old lady Wang's predicament was resolved.

After they left, they left behind a pile of broken pieces of the carriage with no one to clean them up.

Someone on the side curled his lips and said, "I thought the old woman in the carriage had a bad leg. It turns out she just likes to be watched like a monkey!"

When Wang Liangfeng learned about this, he happened to pass by on this road. The rumors he heard along the way made his face turn pale.

After the new bride enters the house, the tea ceremony will be held on the second day. The elders and relatives in the family will also recognize her.

Master Jiang Wu held Gu Jinchu's hand, and the two of them walked slowly towards Minghui Hall.

In front of the courtyard gate, I met the Crown Prince's wife who was arriving late.

Wang looked like she didn't get enough rest last night. Even with a thick layer of makeup on her face, it couldn't hide the faint dark circles under her eyes.
