Feng Shuyuan came out of Rongchang Marquis' room angrily.
Although Marquis Rongchang accepted the medicine she brought, he did not punish Marquis Rongchang's wife, and did not even scold her loudly, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
It wasn't supposed to be like this.
Her younger brother has always been the closest to her. He listens to her and discusses everything with her.
In the past, whenever she had a dispute with Rongchang Hou's wife, he would always stand on her side. Even on the wedding day, when he said that the new daughter-in-law should not be spoiled too much, which made Rongchang Hou's family members dissatisfied, he just dismissed them lightly.
As a result, everyone in the mansion knew who to follow to gain benefits.
But now... ..
Feng Shuyuan felt a little upset. It turned out that he had forgotten his mother after getting a wife.
Tingxue hurriedly followed her and finally caught up with her: "Don't be angry, girl. Think about it, in a few days, you will be able to laugh at Wei An..."
Because Feng Shuyuan hated Wei An so much, the servants in the mansion knew how to please her and belittle the Princess Shouning in front of her.
Feng Shuyuan's complexion really looked much better. She glanced at Tingxue and asked her unhappily, "How's it going over there? Is the person back?"
"I heard he will be back today." Ting Xuesong said in a hurry, "Yesterday was the day when the imperial envoy returned to Beijing. I heard that the Ministry of Rites sent Xiao Qin to personally welcome the imperial envoy to the palace. The emperor even specially invited the imperial envoy and the prince of Linjiang to have dinner together in the palace..."
Feng Shuyuan's expression was a little complicated.
Shen Chen is really like a bright pearl, shining brightly.
It's a pity that Mingzhu was blind and fell in love with Wei An, that nasty and poisonous guy.
Which girl doesn't like a proud and high-spirited boy in his youth? Shen Chen is undoubtedly the type that girls like...
She turned her head and glanced at Tingxue, and asked her: "I didn't ask you these questions, how is the Wei family doing?"
Tingxue lowered her voice and said, "Miss, the princess's people stopped sending us messages. I think it's because the Jinyiwei are watching us closely..."
When she talked about the Imperial Guards, her expression became somewhat unnatural.
After all, the look in Mr. Lin’s eyes when he came last time was still fresh in her memory, as if she were falling into an ice cellar.
Feng Shuyuan obviously didn't want to hear the words "Jinyiwei". She said "I know" and said, "Tell the kitchen that she has been too hot-tempered recently and shouldn't eat those good tonic foods. Tell them to send more Huanglian soup to help her calm down!"
Although he already had a new wife, the household affairs of the Marquis' Mansion had always been managed by her, the eldest daughter.
If she felt uncomfortable, she would make Lady Rongchang even more uncomfortable. If Lady Rongchang wanted to drink hot water, she would let her drink cold water. If Lady Rongchang wanted to eat this, she would let her eat that.
The wife of Marquis Rongchang might have forgotten.
But it doesn't matter, she just needs to remind you.
Tingxue recalled the last time when Rongchang Marquis' wife was ill and wanted to drink soup to nourish her body, but Feng Shuyuan insisted that the kitchen staff make her bitter melon soup for a month. She couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said to Feng Shuyuan boldly, "Young lady, you are really mischievous."
But as long as Feng Shuyuan didn't get angry and didn't use this trick against her, all this wouldn't be serious. She smiled and agreed to go.
Later, the nanny entered Rongchang Marquis's room with embarrassment and sadness. She looked at Rongchang Marquis's wife with hesitation and stammered, "Madam, are you...are you going back to your room to eat?"
But I have already said before that I would have dinner with Marquis Rongchang.
The wife of Rongchang Marquis looked at her in confusion, but soon understood what she meant and asked calmly, "Is there something wrong?"
Marquis Rongchang also raised his eyes.
He saw how much Mrs. Rongchang Marquis cared about him. Care and love cannot be faked.
He knew exactly what was going on.
So when he saw the master and servant in this state, he asked, "What's going on?"
The nanny gritted her teeth and seemed to hesitate. After a while, she said, "... I'm afraid the Marquis can't eat today's food." As she spoke, she shouted to the outside and told the maid who came in, "Open it for the Marquis and Madam to see."
The old woman was also a servant in the room of Marquis Rongchang's wife. Upon hearing this, she responded with a low "yes" and opened the food box.
A bowl of cooled brown soup was quietly placed inside.
"What is this?" Rongchang Hou asked expressionlessly.
The old woman didn't dare to hide it: "It's Coptis chinensis..." She lowered her head and whispered: "The eldest lady said that Madam has been very irritable recently. This is not a serious illness. She just needs to starve and calm down."
Eat some food to calm your mind
The wife of Marquis Rongchang held the bowl of medicine for Marquis Rongchang in her hand, lowered her head and said nothing.
Apparently she was so used to this kind of thing that she couldn't even muster up any anger.
Rongchang Hou turned to look at her and asked: "Does this happen often?"
The opportunity has come!
Nanny's hands were shaking with excitement.
The wife of Rongchang Marquis calmly handed the bowl to the maid, sighed and looked at him: "It doesn't happen often." She looked at the dumbfounded maid who seemed to have no idea what to say, then turned to look at Rongchang Marquis: "It's just that every time I do something that doesn't meet my sister's expectations, I will be treated like this."
The nanny felt that she was understating the matter, and tried to hold it in. But when she thought of her husband and son, she couldn't help but interrupt: "Last time... our Madam invited the imperial physician, and the eldest daughter mocked the Madam for being delicate and precious, and said that she should eat some bitter melon to remember the bitter past and think of the sweet future..."
The wife of Marquis Rongchang's family was not prominent, so Feng Shuyuan had always disliked her and used this to mock and suppress her.
This is a common occurrence.
But they all kept it a secret from Marquis Rongchang.
The other servants did not dare to offend Feng Shuyuan, but the wife of Rongchang Marquis did so because the time was not right and she knew that her husband would definitely value the years of sibling relationship more.
But now, these may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back, it can be said.
As expected, Marquis Rongchang had a gloomy expression on his face, and he kept his eyes closed for a long time without saying a word.
If that is really the case, then Feng Shuyuan is going too far. This is not how things should be done.
My sister has always been so mean.
In fact, Marquis Rongchang knew about it, but he always remembered the friendship they had in the past and thought he could tolerate it. He felt that these harsh words were nothing, especially since they were not directed at him.
But now, Feng Shuyuan's ambition has made her not even take her brother's legs seriously. This is different. He looked at his palm and sighed lightly.
We can no longer tolerate her like this. If she continues to be so arrogant, the entire Marquis' Mansion will be ruined.
