Originally, Xu Baozhu wanted to maintain her appearance as the wife of the Minister of Industry, but as soon as the food was served, the glutton in her stomach could not be controlled.
After just two bites of it politely, his hands started to pick up vegetables, pickle rice, and devour it hungrily.
The same goes for Fan Yuelan and Fan Youling. Their eating patterns fit perfectly with their image of being hungry for ten days and a half.
Seeing Cai Lian and others waiting in the room, the corners of their eyes twitched.
Six dishes, one soup, and a large bowl of rice were all prepared by the three of them.
Looking at the dishes with only soup left on them, the three grandfathers and grandsons, who had eaten and drank enough, looked a little embarrassed.
The maid did not remove the dishes, but also brought tea, perfume for mouthwash, and a spittoon.
The three of them rinsed their mouths, then assumed the manners of a former high-ranking official's wife, daughter, and granddaughter. They elegantly picked up the tea cup, scraped the foam with the tea leaf cover, sipped slowly, and said something.
: “Good tea.”
It's just that the way they wolf down the tea has become deeply rooted in people's hearts. Now, no matter how elegant they drink the tea, the maids still don't think they are elegant.
While drinking tea, Xu Baozhu sent out all the maids in the house.
She looked at Fan Yuelan seriously and said: "If you meet your cousin-in-law and cousin, you must kneel on the ground and admit your mistake, saying that you were wrong. You have been walking in the torture of regret these years, and you have always felt sorry for them.
"
When Fan Yuelan heard this, she immediately frowned, "Why should I admit my mistake?"
What did she do wrong?
She and her cousin were childhood sweethearts, and it was obviously the Wu family who stole her cousin away. Her aunt and uncle felt that the Wu family had a better family background than hers, and wanted Wu to abandon her, which was why she and her cousin couldn't be together.
Later, her father was elected as a Juren, but her aunt and uncle still looked down upon their Fan family and were unwilling to divorce the Wu family and let her cousin marry her, the daughter of the Juren master. Even though she came in, she lowered her status and was willing to be an equal wife and a concubine for them.
Neither of them wanted to humiliate her like that.
My cousin was bewitched by Wu, but she didn't want to. She pushed Wu, and Wu fell down and had a miscarriage. But that's not her fault. Who made Wu so weak that she fell in her belly?
The child is gone?
It was obvious that God did not want her to have such a child so easily.
Xu Baozhu said with a straight face: "If you want to live peacefully in the Yun family and let the Yun family use money to save your father and brother, you'd better do as I say."
Although the old lady of the Yun family is her sister, the current head of the family is Yun Changfeng and the Wu family. If they don't get their forgiveness, they won't be able to live in the Yun family, let alone let the Yun family
The money saved people.
Her sister is soft-hearted, but her nephew is cruel. If her sister hadn't stopped her, Yue Lan would have been sent to the government office by him.
Fan Yuelan frowned unhappily. She just wanted to kneel down and admit her mistake to the person who had robbed her cousin and made her unhappy in her life. She felt very humiliated in her heart.
Her father became an official in the imperial city, and his salary was simply not enough to cover the expenses of a large family. To be active in the officialdom, money was also needed, so he chose to marry her off to a wealthy businessman.
The filial piety money given to her father every year amounted to tens of thousands of taels. Although her father liked him very much, she didn't like him at all, because apart from being rich, there was nothing about that man that could compare with her cousin.
After being married for many years, my concubine gave birth to one concubine after another, but she had nothing to offer. She had heard a lot of unpleasant things over the years.
Her father rose through the ranks and became the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Although she had nothing to gain, the family did not dare to divorce her and neglected her. They provided her and the Fan family with good food and drink.
Until three months ago, her father was convicted of embezzling money to build the bridge, and because the people responsible for building the bridge were all descendants of the Fan family, the emperor had the entire Fan family confiscated and imprisoned.
After sentencing all the men to exile in the bitter cold of the north, the women were released from prison.
She was married, so she was no longer a member of the Fan family. But as soon as her father was imprisoned, she was abandoned, penniless, and kicked out of the house. She was also humiliated by the concubines who were suppressed by her. She was in such a miserable state.
.
And she has such an unfortunate marriage and such unbearable experiences, all because that bitch Wu took away her cousin.
