Ji Lan understood and said, "Isn't that right? People who don't know better would think that Grandma Du is the villain who wants to deliberately ruin the reputation of our young lady!"
Aunt Du was sweating profusely, and she suddenly felt that this fourth lady had become extremely difficult to deal with, and anyone standing around her could feel a crushing oppression. At this moment, a soft voice suddenly came from the door: "What bad reputation are you talking about?"
Han Yan looked up and saw Zhou and Zhuang Yushan, followed by the girl, walking slowly towards the room. Walking at the back was none other than Zhuang Shiyang.
Han Yan quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Father, Aunt Zhou, Sister Yushan."
Every time Zhou heard the words "Aunt Zhou" from Han Yan's mouth, she would feel like ten thousand little bugs gnawing at her heart, making her extremely uncomfortable. Seeing the smile in Han Yan's eyes, he felt it was even more ironic. Then the smile on his face became even gentler: "Just now, what did you say about your reputation? Who wants to ruin the reputation of Fourth Young Lady?"
Before Han Yan could speak, Ji Lan said from the side: "It's that naughty girl who used the name of Aunt Zhou to frame the young lady because she is the master's wet nurse!"
"Ji Lan!" Han Yan stopped her and smiled apologetically at Zhuang Shiyang: "It's just a misunderstanding. Aunt Du is a person close to my father. How could she want to frame me? My father would not agree to it. Right?" After saying that, he smiled, but the smile was a bit forced. In the eyes of others, he looked like he was wronged and did not dare to express it openly.
Zhuang Shiyang coughed awkwardly: "Of course I won't let anyone bully you."
Zhou glanced at Zhuang Shiyang in a panic. Although he was not happy with his daughter, he still couldn't go too far on the surface. How did this Aunt Du do things, and how did she confess to her? Thinking about it, he glared at Nanny Du.
Aunt Du was used to being domineering in the house, how could she endure such grievances. Especially since this grievance was caused by an unfavored young lady, I was a little angry at that time: "Master, I really don't have that kind of thoughts towards the fourth young lady."
Han Yan blinked: "Mother Du, what's wrong with you? I've already told my father that it's not your fault, it's a misunderstanding. Now, don't you need me to apologize to you?"
How unbecoming it is for a legitimate young lady to apologize to a servant! Zhuang Shiyang is a person who pays attention to rules. He immediately glanced at Aunt Du with a gloomy look. Aunt Du was so frightened that she quickly shut up. She was angry at the Fourth Miss for being so scheming, and at the same time she was wondering when Han Yan had become so powerful. Unexpectedly, Han Yan continued: "Speaking of which, Aunt Du and Aunt Mei were very close in the past. I haven't seen Aunt Mei for a long time. It's almost New Year's Eve. Father might as well let Aunt Mei go out and walk around in the yard. Aunt Du is thinking You’re also happy, right?”
As soon as these words came out, the three people present stiffened.
Zhou had tricked Han Yan to death for thousands of times, and now letting Aunt Mei leave the house has given her a troublesome opponent. After the last incident, Aunt Mei hated her to the core, so she might resort to more tricks.
Mother Chen felt guilty. Han Yan's words put her on Aunt Mei's side, which inevitably made Zhou suspicious. If Aunt Mei knew that she was showing kindness to Zhou, she would not make it easy for herself. In this way, both sides will not be pleased.
Zhuang Shiyang was suspicious. His daughter was becoming more and more alert and profound, which made him wary. This time was no exception. When did the relationship between Han Yan and Aunt Mei become so good
Han Yan, however, pretended to be angry and looked at Mr. Zhou, as if he couldn't stand it. Zhuang Shiyang was a little more generous, fearing that he didn't like the Zhou family and wanted to find Aunt Mei to deal with the Zhou family together.
Of course, there can't be only one person in his backyard. Zhuang Shiyang hasn't tasted Aunt Mei's enchanting body for a long time. He happily followed the trend, pretended to think for a moment, and said: "What you said makes sense. Since it's the New Year, I'll spare her." Grounded.”
Aunt Zhou was filled with hatred, but she couldn't show it. In the past, she and Zhuang Yushan were placed in the yard arranged by Zhuang Shiyang, and had no contact with the concubines in the Zhuang Mansion. Speaking of which, they lived a life of exclusive favor. Now that she has entered the Zhuang Mansion, Aunt Wan can pretend she has not seen her, but she has an extra Aunt Mei to share her favor with. The charming Hu girl was of low status, so she naturally didn't have to worry about Zhuang Shiyang making her his wife. I thought that as the wife of Zhuang Mansion, I could manipulate that woman as I pleased, but now Zhuang Shiyang has been reluctant to mention his wife. Hu Ji is deeply loved. If she compares herself to him, then once she falls out of favor, her The wife's wishful thinking came to nothing.
Turning her eyes to Zhuang Yushan, Mrs. Zhou comforted herself, but she still had another bargaining chip. At least Aunt Mei had no heirs, and she still had Yu'er.
Zhuang Yushan lived up to Zhou's expectations and took Zhuang Shiyang's arm and began to act coquettishly: "Dad, seeing that the New Year is about to come, Yu'er made a pair of shoes for Daddy and asked Yun'er to send them to you later."
Zhuang Shiyang smiled when he heard this, with a look of love on his face: "Okay, Yu'er is really sensible, and she deserves to be daddy's most beloved daughter."
Han Yan watched with cold eyes, Zhuang Shiyang could say the three words "most beloved" to a concubine while she was still a serious legitimate daughter, and he really slapped her in the face in front of the servants. However, Han Yan wished that Zhuang Shiyang was as arrogant as possible. He didn't know what Zhuang Shiyang's expression would look like if he was stabbed in front of the current emperor by the imperial censor and read a book about Zhuang Shiyang's doting on his concubines and destroying his wife.
Zhuang Yushan smiled sheepishly and replied softly: "Yu'er is not good at skills, so dad doesn't want to make fun of her."
Zhuang Shiyang laughed loudly: "How could it be? Yu'er gave my father shoes, and my father can't let Yu'er go home empty-handed. At the end of the year, just buy whatever you want. You can just take the money directly from the accountant."
Han Yan almost sneered, Zhuang Yushan shied away a few words, and Zhou smiled and said, "Fourth Miss, please join us and choose some jewelry."
He said this as if he was able to get the jewelry thanks to Zhuang Yushan. Han Yan was not annoyed and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, father. Why don't you call me Third Sister? We are all my aunt's daughters, so we can't favor one over the other."
Zhou's smile froze. They are all her aunt's daughters. Han Yan's words just rubbed salt into her wounds. She gritted her teeth and nodded: "What do you think, sir?"
Zhuang Shiyang had already heard the sarcasm in Han Yan's words. He couldn't help but look at her deeply, rolled his sleeves and said, "It's up to you." His tone was already a little unkind.
Zhuang Yushan was naturally very angry. She was the most favored young lady in the house, but that Zhuang Qin was nothing. How could she be compared with herself. Seeing Han Yan's gentle look, I wanted to tear her smiling face into pieces.
Han Yan said happily: "That's great."
After feeling bored, the four Zhou family members left. Han Yan watched them walk out of the yard, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
Ji Lan was so angry: "Master is really partial to the one in Davidia Garden. Look at how arrogant they are now."
