The second aunt laughed dryly. If she were her daughter, let alone entering the house with the prostitute, she would be willing to wash the prostitute's feet as long as she could get in. Face is not the most important thing.
That's the county prince's palace!
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would have wanted to pester Wen Yao to help her daughter, even if she wanted to be a concubine.
The Su family is only one-third the size of the Wen family, and it was Su Qiuyue's constant push that led to the good life now.
The eldest cousin is in charge of the outside business, but the second aunt is in charge of the inner house. The eldest aunt left early, and the second aunt is the heroine of the house.
My eldest cousin, Su Zhe, is twenty-six years old. He married a wife in his early years. However, he had difficulty in giving birth to his second child, killing one and two, leaving behind an eight-year-old daughter.
The daughter's name is Su Wanyu. She is as narrow-minded as a sieve at a young age. She does one thing before others and another behind her. Wen Yao doesn't like her very much.
Today, Su Zhe was in the inner house with his daughter. When he saw Wen Yao's eyes darkening, he smiled and said hello: "Yao Yao, I haven't seen you for a long time. There is no need for girls to be so tired. My brothers are all grown up."
It’s time to let them share the burden.”
"My cousin is right, they are all helping, shouldn't I come over now when I have time?"
Su Zhe pushed Su Wanyu again: "Go and say hello to your eldest cousin."
Su Wanyu's eyes were filled with hostility: "Hello, cousin."
"Wanyu has grown taller again, hello."
Wen Yao and her grandfather saluted and gave gifts. Grandma looked at her more carefully, which made Wen Yao very uncomfortable.
The attitude of the Su family was a bit strange today. Wen Yao told Zhiqin: "Go and find out what happened to the Su family recently? I don't think something is right."
"Okay, slave, I'll go right away."
Wen Yao was eating a few snacks, drinking tea and listening to the opera, which was incompatible with the lively environment around her, but with so many people, people could spot her at a glance.
Su Zhe and Nuan Nuan were talking in the corner, "Nuan Nuan, are you sure you want to help me?"
Wen Nuan smiled coquettishly: "Of course, you are my cousin. My eldest cousin has missed such a beauty as my eldest sister, but he will never find her again.
I heard that my family's business has suffered losses again. If the eldest sister gets married, your Su family will be the second Wen family."
There was ambition in Su Zhe's eyes. He had watched the Wen family rise with his own eyes. The houses were getting bigger and bigger. If it weren't for their lack of status, the Wen family could live in Xicheng, where they were all relatives of the emperor. Officials of the third rank and above could buy all the houses if they had the money.
Wherever you can't reach.
"Okay, when it's done, cousin, thank you very much."
Wen Nuan's eyes were full of excitement. She couldn't wait to see her eldest sister and the man living alone, and drove her into the quagmire. How could she still be proud?
Not to mention King Xuan's concubine, she would be considered dirty even if he filled the toilet for King Xuan.
It's rare for Wen Yao to be leisurely and listen carefully to the play. I used to think that its babbling was too slow. But if you listen carefully, it's actually quite nice.
Su Wanyu didn't know when she came over and pulled her sleeves, "Cousin, do you want to be my stepmother?"
Wen Yao's heart skipped a beat, and her smile was cold: "Who told you?"
"I secretly heard my grandmother and aunt say that I don't like you to be my stepmother."
Wen Yao: "Very good, I don't want to be your stepmother either. In that case, do your cousin a favor and tell me who wants to harm her, okay?"
"How can I harm you?"
"For example, adding things to the tea and food, taking me to remote places, if the maid wants to harm me, all of these are fine. This is for you. My cousin thanks you in advance."
Taking off the red gold bracelet on her wrist, Su Wanyu was young but very greedy. She knew how much the bracelet was worth, "Okay, I'll help you."
Wen Yao saw her walking away and was no longer in the mood to listen to the show. She was such a good sister and so calculating that she even asked her to be the successor to the Su family.
And her good mother, her cooperation is indispensable in this.
The whole family is arrogant, and the Su family's business depends on the Wen family. Since they are seeking death, don't blame her for ruining the Su family's livelihood.
"Sister, it's time to have dinner, let's go over."
Cousin Wen Yuan came to have a banquet with her. The Su family's banquet was quite decent, with plates of delicacies served, and each table cost hundreds of taels of silver.
Wen Yao made a rough calculation and found out that the birthday banquet cost at least 5,000 taels of silver. The Su family was trying to show off their weight. Their annual income was only 20,000 taels. It was necessary to buy such a luxurious banquet.
?
Suddenly, the maid serving the food accidentally spilled a few drops of vegetable soup and hurriedly apologized: "Miss, please forgive me, but this slave deserves death."
Wen Nuan said: "Sister, the maid was also careless. Go and change your clothes."
"Don't use such a careless maid. Second aunt, sell it out. The Su family is a respectable family now. I won't argue with her today, but what if it's another guest?"
The second aunt said with a cold face: "Hold on, you are an unruly thing. I have been told you a thousand times not to make any mistakes. Are you all turning a deaf ear?"
Yaoyao, aunt will accompany you to change clothes."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, auntie."
Wen Yao wanted to see if her aunt was involved in this matter.
When we arrived at the dressing room, several new clothes were hung on the screen, just for the guests to change into, so there would always be various surprises.
"I'll ask your maid to help you change. You should rest for a while first."
The second aunt turned around to go out. Wen Yao glanced at the incense burner in the corner and took the second aunt's hand: "Don't worry, second aunt, wait a moment, let's talk. I haven't chatted with the second aunt for a long time. I miss you."
"
Wen Yao stood by the window. The air here was smoother and he wouldn't inhale too much medicine.
"After the banquet is over, we will stay at my aunt's house for two days and let's have a good chat. There are so many guests outside, and my aunt can't live without her."
The second aunt was panicking and wanted to escape. Wen Yao understood and said, "Okay, aunt, go and do your work. After all, you won't have the chance to be busy in the future."
The second aunt's heart skipped a beat: "Yaoyao, what do you mean by this?"
"It's boring. What does aunt think you mean? Or does it mean that aunt knows something that I don't know? Are you feeling guilty?"
"No, how is that possible?"
The second aunt ran away. The eldest girl was too smart and the pressure on her was too much. This matter was planned by the eldest house and the old lady. It had nothing to do with her and she didn't want to get involved.
Wen Yao opened the window, took out an antidote pill from her sleeve and swallowed it. She was just fascinated by the fragrance. She had smelled it too much. After running around for so many years, such a cheap trick was just childish.
Suddenly, a man in black appeared in front of her, saluted and said: "Miss, this room has been scented. I will take you away."
"Are you from Yuan Rui?"
"Yes, the Crown Prince has ordered us to protect the safety of the eldest lady. The eldest lady is also our master."
Wen Yao felt warm in her heart, Yuan Rui was really good, much better than she thought.
