Hou Fu and others sat at Chen Yayuan's place for a while, and they felt more and more that the Shao family was outrageous.
The Shao family did not pay much attention to Chen Yayuan and their two children, nor did they even pay attention to the distinguished guests of the Hou Mansion.
The servants serving Chen Yayuan were all sent away by Mrs. Shao for various reasons.
Therefore, the people in the Hou Mansion sat there for a while, and there was not even a maid to bring tea.
Chen Yaying and several young ladies were filled with indignation when they saw Chen Yayuan's tragic situation, and even Chen Yayun rarely showed an angry look on her face.
Thinking of the injustice she suffered at the Shao family last time, Chen Yaying felt even more angry.
She walked up to Mrs. Chen angrily and said, "Mom, you have to help Sister Yuan stand up!"
Mrs. Chen said in an indifferent tone: "Your second sister hasn't said anything yet, what are you talking about as a little girl? You give me some peace of mind, otherwise if you cause trouble again, how will I explain to the Shen family?"
Mrs. Chen's tone contained a warning.
Chen Yaying was killed not long ago. If she hadn't tried her best to cover it up, would Chen Yaying still be standing here in good health?
Chen Yaying's face turned pale, apparently she and Mrs. Chen had thought of the same thing.
A basin of ice water was poured on her warm blood and it was completely extinguished.
She found a chair aside and sat down, no longer caring about Chen Yayuan's affairs.
Seeing this, Chen Yayuan hurriedly said: "It's my fault that my affairs have upset you. I should have been happy today, but it's all my fault."
The guilt on Chen Yayuan's face was not an act.
Fu Zhao suddenly felt speechless. Chen Yayuan had done nothing wrong. Instead, she was the one who suffered, but she took all the blame on herself.
But what Mrs. Chen said was right. Chen Yayuan didn't say anything, so it would be useless for anyone to make the decision for her.
Su Yurong quietly pulled Fu Zhao's sleeve, with a look of pity on her face.
The life Chen Yayuan lives now is not as good as the life she lived under the influence of others in the Hou Mansion.
Thinking of Chen Yayuan's kindness to her, Su Yurong felt that she could not leave Chen Yayuan alone.
Su Yurong couldn't think of a way by herself, but Fu Zhao was smart, so she would definitely have a way.
Fu Zhao was defeated by Su Yurong's pleading eyes. She asked Si Qi to come over, gave a few instructions in Si Qi's ear, and Si Qi went out.
Su Yurong asked curiously: "What did sister-in-law ask Si Qi to do?"
Fu Zhao smiled softly, "Let the men in front also know what kind of life our second aunt is living now."

Mr. Shao looked at the scattered guests and was so angry that his beard stood up.
He never cared about the affairs of the inner house, and he also left full responsibility to Mrs. Shao to take care of the full moon banquet for his two granddaughters.
Mrs. Shao is confused about small things, but she is still clear about big things.
Master Shao grabbed a maid and asked, "Are all the guests not here yet?"
The maid timidly replied: "We are all here. Today we are inviting people from the Marquis Mansion."
Mr. Shao was so angry that he almost burst into smoke.
The two granddaughters are his first two grandchildren, and they are legitimate children.
And what a blessing it is to have twins! How could Mrs. Shao be so rash? Just invite people from the Hou Mansion?
Not to mention what the Houfu's in-laws would think, his old face couldn't be bothered at all.
But now it's too late to make amends.
He cursed Mrs. Shao a few words in his mind and went to the guests of the Hou Mansion.
The Marquis of Dingbei is far away at the border, and now here are several young masters from the Marquis's residence, all of whom are his juniors.
Mr. Shao's expression softened a little.
He walked over and waited for the young masters to come and greet him.
But the young masters in the Hou Mansion were drinking tea and chatting by themselves, and none of them seemed to have seen Mr. Shao.
Mr. Shao's face froze, and he quickly understood that the people in the Hou Mansion must be dissatisfied with today's arrangements.
After all, it was his own fault, so Mr. Shao had no choice but to walk over and take the initiative to say hello.
The young masters of the Hou Mansion still sat motionless, looking at Mr. Shao with half-smiling smiles.
Even the second young master Chen Yuan, who had always been smooth in dealing with things, rarely put on a straight face.
Mr. Shao couldn't help but feel angry. As an elder, he was willing to put down his dignity.
These young masters in the Hou Mansion should be more aware of current affairs. If they continue to put on airs, it will be disrespectful to their elders.
Mr. Shao looked at the young master who was wearing white python arrow sleeves and had a calm demeanor, and said in a deep tone, "Your Majesty, today is a happy day. I don't know whether the Crown Prince really came to congratulate you, or..."
Or are you looking for trouble?
Chen Feng put the teacup in his hand aside and said with a half-smile, "Of course I'm here to congratulate you."
Mr. Shao's expression softened slightly and he asked, "Then why are you all so straight-faced? Is it because my house didn't entertain you well?"
Chen Feng nodded slowly during Master Shao's questioning.
Mr. Shao's expression froze. His first reaction was that Mrs. Shao had caused some trouble again.
Chen Feng stretched out his hand, pointed at the maids and women who were busy in the flower hall, and said calmly: "These are my second sister's dowry. If they are here, who will be waiting for my second sister?"
Master Shao followed Chen Feng's fingers and looked over. The people pointed out by Chen Feng were indeed not servants of the Shao family.
Mr. Shao was speechless.
After Chen Feng made the start, the second young master Chen Yuan immediately asked: "Dare I ask my father-in-law how many children my sister has given birth to?"
Chen Yuan and Chen Yayuan were from the same mother. He almost wanted to commit suicide after hearing what was said from the back house.
When Chen Yayuan was in the Hou Mansion, she cared deeply for her brothers and sisters, and several young masters in the Hou Mansion had more or less accepted her favors.
Therefore, this time, the young masters of the Hou Mansion all had the same intention, that is, they wanted to vent their anger on Chen Yayuan.
Although Mr. Shao was puzzled, he still said truthfully: "They are two girls."
Chen Yuan immediately asked, "Why do you only have one wet nurse for two girls? Is your family so poor that you can't even afford two wet nurses?"
Mr. Shao was scolded like a junior. He looked ugly and couldn't say a word to refute.
Two children only have one nurse, which is outrageous for a wealthy family.
But Mr. Shao knew that Mrs. Shao could do such an outrageous thing.
He remembered that since the birth of the child, Mrs. Shao often said, why are there two girls? What is the use of girls?
Mr. Shao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Is there such a thing? I'll go check it out in a minute and find out what's going on. I'll definitely give an explanation to the Hou Mansion then. The food is all gone."
It’s served, everyone, please take your seats.”
Now that Mr. Shao has shown his attitude, the young masters of the Hou family stood up to give him face.
Not many people were invited today, and a table with ten people was not even full.
And the most important one, Shao Geng, has yet to show up.
Mr. Shao was sitting on pins and needles. He had never been so embarrassed in all his years as an official.
