The porridge was handed to her. The unique aroma of the soft porridge was tangy. Her stomach, which had not eaten for a long time, was also protesting. If she didn't know the fishiness in it, not to mention Wen Ruyi, even Chu Yunli might drink it.
.Who would have thought that someone would tamper with the first meal after marrying?
Chu Yunli smiled, pushed the bowl away, faced Wu's puzzled gaze, and said loudly, "Caiyun."
Then the door opened, and the maid came in neatly, Fu Shen said, "Girl."
Before Chu Yunli could speak, Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "Now that your girl has married into the Sun family, it's time to call her Madam." She looked at Chu Yunli again and said jokingly, "Your girl is so unruly.
"
Caiyun knelt down meekly, "This slave made a mistake, please punish me, Madam."
Chu Yunli waved her hand, "In a small family, the rules don't have to be so strict. Besides, what's the punishment on a big day? Bring the snacks prepared by my mother, and I'll eat some first."
After just a few words, the two of them were already secretly fighting each other.
Mrs. Wu wanted to punish her maid, but Chu Yunli secretly criticized the Sun family for being a small family with many rules. Mrs. Wu's expression was not very good, and she put down the porridge bowl in her hand, "Ruyi, I'm sorry, I don't know you
Don’t drink plain porridge.”
Chu Yunli replied smoothly, "It doesn't matter, we are all one family, I won't take it to heart."
This is too disrespectful to treat oneself as an outsider. Normal people should be polite at this time.
Really indulgent!
Mrs. Wu only felt aggrieved. Caiyun had quickly taken out the snacks from the food box and put them on the table. Chu Yunli picked them up and called Mrs. Wu, "My sister-in-law also eats them. The Wen family has a cook who specializes in making snacks. She came from
She came back to the capital for retirement and was bought by my father at a high price. The snacks she makes are the best." He got closer to her and added in a low voice, "I heard that the dessert shop she opened will be visited by the princes and princesses in the capital.
Patronizing.”
Her tone was proud and showy, her expression was flying, and the tassels on her jewelry swayed with her movements, making the bride's unique makeup look even more dazzling and eye-catching.
Wu couldn't hold back the smile on her face, "That's good." She didn't move at all about the snacks on the table.
Chu Yunli then ordered Caiyun, "However, although I don't like my sister-in-law's wishes, I still want to take it. Why don't I keep it for a while and drink it again?" Without waiting for Wu's reaction, she had already ordered, "Caiyun, put away the porridge.
I’ll make it a late night snack later.”
Caiyun is also smart. Mrs. Wu just found a reason to reprimand her, but she just wanted to give her power. The first impression was not good. After listening to Chu Yunli's words, she ignored the stiffness on Mrs. Wu's face and quickly put down the porridge bowl.
He picked it up and left.
Mrs. Wu couldn't stop her, she was a little anxious and wanted to get up. Chu Yunli held her shoulders and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely drink."
Chu Yunli yawned at the right time, and Mrs. Wu forced a smile, stood up and said, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early and remember to drink porridge."
After she left, Chu Yunli called Caiyun in again and gave a few instructions in a low voice.
The night gradually deepened, and the noise in the front yard dissipated. Sun Yan stumbled in, smelling of alcohol. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Chu Yunli sitting on the bed, "Are you resting?"
Usually brides would shyly sit in the room and wait, but Chu Yunli was different. The hair accessories on her head were too heavy, and the layers of clothes were also heavy. She had simply taken off the jewelry, changed clothes, washed up, and found a comfortable position.
Just wait.
"Are you drunk?" Chu Yunli frowned, a little dissatisfied.
"No." Sun Yan said hurriedly, "I can't refuse some business offers. I don't usually drink."
Chu Yunli's expression softened a little, "You must be hungry. I'll make some porridge and drink some before going to bed."
Caiyun came in with a bowl of steaming white porridge. Sun Yan met Chu Yunli's smiling eyes and had to take it, drank a few sips, got up and went to the small room, "I'm going to wash up."
Caiyun did not go out, but came closer and whispered, "Girl, someone just came to secretly take the porridge." She looked at the small room, a little worried, "Is there something wrong with the porridge?"
There must be something wrong with the porridge, otherwise it wouldn't have been deliberately taken away. Caiyun is worried about whether there is a big problem.
Chu Yunli didn't care much, "Anyway, they cooked it themselves. If it can poison people..."
Caiyun's expression changed greatly. The porridge was brought over by the eldest lady for her master. She was not in a hurry to go out and just stood aside with a respectful look. The Sun family was obviously not well-intentioned.
At first there was the sound of water in the small room, but gradually there was no sound, and Caiyun's face became paler.
Chu Yunli stood up, crossed the screen and entered the small room. What she saw was Sun Yan, who was leaning against the tub with his eyes closed. He seemed to be asleep. She walked forward and called softly. When there was no movement, she stretched out her hand to push. Sun Yan followed her strength.
His head tilted to one side, but he still didn't wake up.
Although Sun Yan was drunk, he spoke clearly and clearly, so he was not drunk to the point of coma. It seemed that there was indeed something wrong with that bowl of porridge.
Caiyun stood at the door, a little at a loss, "Girl, do you want to go back and tell the old lady?"
Chu Yunli waved her hand, "No need." Now go back and tell Mrs. Wen, and you can naturally find out what's wrong with the porridge. Even if there was something wrong with the porridge, Chu Yunli didn't drink it. Based on this, he wanted to blame the Sun family.
I was afraid that it would be a bit difficult, so Wu just had to give it a push and said that he didn't know where the medicine came from... which was not a conviction at all.
The entanglement between the two families will, at best, ruin the reputation of the Sun family, and may even implicate the Wen family themselves. Even if the two families are at odds with each other, they will never have contact with each other in the future. For Wen Ruyi, letting the uncle and sister-in-law go so lightly is probably not a good idea.
will be happy.
"We just need to know in our hearts and be on guard against them." Chu Yunli warned carefully, "I know the rest well."
Caiyun was a little worried, "But there are problems with eating, and I'm afraid there will be some oversights."
"Don't eat the food in the mansion. I will offer to open a small kitchen tomorrow and we will buy it ourselves." Chu Yunli had already thought about this.
Caiyun's tears fell, "Girls have a hard life, but when they get married, they have to live on guard."
Yes, life is hard.
Wen Ruyi didn't know what was going on, so she fell headlong into the warmth she had woven between her uncle and sister-in-law. Her life was plotted against her, and she even made the Wen family think that the child they gave birth to was her Wen Ruyi's desperate effort.
In exchange, for that child's heart and lungs, wouldn't it mean a miserable life?
The Wen family also had a hard life. The two old men were already in their seventies when they found out the inside story. They were originally in good health. When they heard the inside story, Wen's father was immediately furious. Wen's mother also passed away two months later. At that time, Sun Yan
Because of the support of the Wen family, the business grew bigger and bigger. In addition, the child married the daughter of the then Zhizhou, and even the Wen family could not easily shake his status. Wen Ruyi's brother wanted to avenge her and the two old people.
, had been fighting against Sun Yan, and even paid to kill him, but was caught and imprisoned, and was sentenced to be beheaded. Wen Ruyi's nephews and nieces all got married, and they all did not die well.
The Wen family, which had been rooted in Tongcheng for hundreds of years, collapsed overnight.
With such hatred, if Chu Yunli spared the Sun family now, Wen Ruyi would definitely not agree.
Sun Yan was leaning on the bathtub and falling asleep. When Chu Yunli saw his white body, she didn't bother to pay attention to it. Not to mention herself, she was not happy even if she asked the maid to help him dress.
Chu Yunli lay on the soft bed and fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, it was already bright and she sat up.
Hearing the commotion, Caiyun came in quickly from outside, handed her clothes, and whispered, "Girl, last night a mother-in-law came over to say that she had something important to report, but she was blocked by the servant. Early this morning, someone came from the madam to urge her to pay her respects.
Tea, the slave also blocked it."
Chu Yunli looked at her appreciatively, "How did you block it?"
Caiyun spoke righteously, "My servant said that on the wedding night, no matter what important things should be postponed, we can't wait all night. In the morning, I said that I didn't dare to urge the master to get up."
Chu Yunli put on her clothes, washed up and went to the small room. Sun Yan was still asleep. The water in the bathtub was already cold. The skin on his body was wrinkled and pale, and his forehead was already hot.
Chu Yunli touched it and ordered, "Find someone to help him go to bed." He didn't mention anything about asking the doctor.
Caiyun responded.
The master and the servant went to the front yard. Wen Ruyi brought two maids with him, as well as a lottery star.
In the main hall of the front yard, Mrs. Wu had already arrived at dawn. She drank several cups of hot tea. Seeing the sun getting higher and higher, she never saw anyone coming to the door, and it was hard for anyone to rush her. She was holding back in her heart.
His anger gradually increased with the sun.
Finally seeing a man in bright red coming over, but not seeing Sun Yan, she immediately frowned, "Where is the second brother?"
Chu Yunli lowered her head slightly, with a shy look on her face, and her voice was thin, "He... hasn't gotten up yet, maybe he's too tired."
Wu's face instantly darkened, "You are too ignorant of propriety."
Chu Yunli still lowered her head, her voice a little aggrieved, "How can you blame me for this kind of thing?"
Originally, he drank the problematic porridge himself and fell asleep in the bathtub all night without waking up. The porridge was sent by Wu, so she really couldn't be blamed.
It fell to Mrs. Wu's ears that the bride was not to blame for the lack of restraint during the wedding. She didn't know what she thought, and her eyes were red with anger. "I know that the Wen family is rich and you have been favored since you were a child. You got up too late."
I won’t go into details, after all, you are just getting started.”
Her tone was serious, with a preaching look on her face. She paused and continued, "But since you married into the Sun family, you have to follow the Sun family's rules. The bride will make breakfast for the whole family the next morning.
For dinner, you have to make three cold, three hot and three soups, which means long time, which means the longevity of the Sun family, and also the long-term relationship between the couple. The meat and vegetables are already prepared in the kitchen, you can make them first, and wait for the second brother to wake up
It’s ready, just ready to eat.”
The sarcasm on Chu Yunli's lowered mouth could barely be concealed. It's amazing how well you can make up rules!
It will last forever. If I really want to have a long-lasting relationship with Sun Yan, I am afraid that Mrs. Wu will vomit to death.
Wen Ruyi has lived her whole life and knows that the Sun family has no such rules at all, and Wu is deliberately tormenting her.
Seeing that she didn't move, Wu suddenly felt that this person was a little stupid. He was also confused last night when he talked to her, so he urged, "Go quickly."
Chu Yunli turned around and told Caiyun, "Let Mrs. Tao cook, just follow the eldest lady's words, don't cook too much, three cold, three hot and three soup. The portions should be smaller, there are not many people, too much is a waste."
"
Caiyun Fushen retreated, and Mrs. Wu frowned, "What did you say? You are the daughter-in-law of the Sun family. You have to do it yourself. The second brother married you, not that Tao Po."
In fact, after such a long time, Chu Yunli hadn't entered the door yet. She was just standing at the door and Wu made such a fuss. She only then stepped forward. After entering the door, she ignored the futon placed in front of Wu and found a chair by herself.
He sat down, looked into Wu's burning eyes, and said with a smile, "I have long heard that my sister-in-law is gentle and virtuous, and the rumors are indeed misleading. Seeing that you are preaching and scolding me, I don't know if I thought you were
I am not satisfied with my sister-in-law."
Mrs. Wu was startled, and quickly calmed down the angry look on her face. She picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. She seemed to have calmed down a little, softened her tone, spoke earnestly, and persuaded in a gentle voice, "I didn't scold you. My mother is gone, so I just
I entered the family a few years before you, but as a sister-in-law, I still have to tell you the rules that should be followed. Since you are from a good background, you should also know that the state-owned legal family has family rules. We still have to abide by some of the rules left by our ancestors.
It would be outrageous for you to ask a servant to do what the daughter-in-law of the Sun family is supposed to do."
Chu Yunli held her chin up and said, "Rules are set by people. If I want to cook by myself, then why do my parents ask me to bring these servants here? Besides, in terms of filial piety, my parents still
She has never eaten the food I cooked. My mother almost died to give birth to me and raised me for more than ten years. I have only been the daughter-in-law of the Sun family for one day. If I want to cook it, I have to cook it for them first."
But a servant hurried over and shouted from afar, "Madam, the master is sick."
