After breakfast, Wen Tingzhou and Ruan Xi left Yonghe Residence and walked towards the main courtyard together.
On the way, they met another couple who also offered tea this morning—Wen Tingyi and Liu Wanwan.
One is carefully supporting, and the other is leaning against the weak willow Fufeng, followed by a group of maids and mothers.
Ruan Xi opened her eyes slightly, early in the morning, her stomach was still a little full, and a large bowl of dog food was stuffed in so unexpectedly.
Ruan Xi still watched with relish.
At this time Wen Tingzhou leaned close to her ear and whispered: "The ones walking over there are my second brother and his newly married wife." After speaking, he naturally wrapped his arms around her waist and walked forward.
Ruan Xi: "..."
"We can't be compared to them." As if knowing what Ruan Ruan was thinking, Wen Tingzhou explained solemnly.
"It's fine if you like it." Ruan Xi pursed her lips and smiled, coughing, I really didn't expect Wen Tingzhou to have such a childish comparison.
"Call me Husband, Ruan Ruan, I like to hear you call me Husband." Wen Tingzhou corrected in a low voice.
Ruan Xi suppressed a smile.
"Understood, my good husband."
The corners of Wen Tingzhou's mouth turned up.
Suyu, Suzhu, Zhang Qing and others in the back: "..."
They glanced at the loving young couple who were walking quickly by another path, and silently glanced at the sky.
"Brother, sister-in-law, what a coincidence." Wen Tingyi rushed over, and Wen Tingyi greeted Wen Tingzhou and Ruan Xi proudly.
Liu Wanwan smiled softly and weakly: "Wanwan has met my eldest brother and sister-in-law."
His eyes turned around Wen Tingzhou and then fell on Ruan Xi.
This was the first time Liu Wanwan saw this enviable and jealous Fourth Miss of the uncle's mansion.
Sure enough, she was as beautiful as the rumors said, with a generous and elegant demeanor, and those beautiful eyes seemed to see through the hidden thoughts in her heart.
Liu Wanwan was startled, and quickly lowered her eyes.
Ruan Xi raised her eyebrows and smiled, interestingly, if she read it correctly, Liu Wanwan looked at Wen Tingzhou in a strange way, and of course there was a subtle hostility towards her.
Although Liu Wanwan concealed it very well, she is also a woman, and Ruan Xi, who lived in an orphanage since she was a child, is the most observant, and Liu Wanwan's subtle abnormalities have not been hidden from her eyes.
Wen Tingzhou's charm is really great.
Wen Tingzhou nodded at them with a distant and gentle smile, "It's getting late, you guys hurry over too, don't keep your parents waiting for too long." After speaking, he hugged Ruan Xi and walked forward.
Mama Yang and others followed, but Mama Yang glanced back at the weak Liu Wanwan, frowned, and a look of coldness flashed in her eyes.
Liu Wanwan frowned, unconsciously twisted the handkerchief in her hand, and smiled softly at Wen Tingyi, Wen Tingyi helped Liu Wanwan to follow quickly like a chicken blood.
Wen Tingzhou put Ruan Xi in his arms to distance them from them, and whispered in her ear: "Ruan Ruan, stay away from the second sister-in-law from now on."
Ruan Xi raised the corners of her lips: "Husband, did you find something?"
Wen Tingzhou raised his eyebrows: "It seems that Ruan Ruan has also found out."
It was also the first time he saw this woman who was so fascinated by his second brother that she wouldn't marry her, and he could see her inconsistency and the disgusting secret love in her eyes at a glance.
"That's right, I found that the person Liu Wanwan really likes seems to be you, my husband." Ruan Xi glanced at Wen Tingzhou with a half-smile.
"It's just a restless woman, Ruan Ruan don't care, stay away from her in the future, I'm afraid she will be bad for you."
Wen Tingzhou said lightly, he has always been indifferent, and he has no feelings for many women who admire him, Ruan Ruan is an exception, he will not let Ruan Ruan get hurt.
Ruan Xi smiled and nodded, quite satisfied with Wen Tingzhou's reaction.
main courtyard
Wen Shangshu and Mrs. Wen sat at the top, Wen Shangshu's concubines and aunts sat on the two sides below, and their children stood behind them.
Wen Tingzhou and Ruan Xi stepped into the hall first, followed by Wen Tingyi and Liu Wanwan.
The eyes of everyone in the hall fell on the two new brides-in-law.
This time Liu Wanwan straightened her expression and did not put on a soft and weak posture, but against the backdrop of Ruan Xi, both her appearance and temperament were overshadowed.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wen, who was in the first place, glanced at Aunt Zhao, who had a slightly gloomy face below, and a smile flashed in her eyes.
Or her son has a good eye.
That Liu Wanwan's stature is too low, in the eyes of the woman in Wen Shangshu's backyard, there is nothing to hide. Only a fool like Wen Tingyi can be fascinated by Liu Wanwan.
Such a strong contrast, as long as you are not blind, you can see it, and the others secretly hold back their laughter.
Wen Shangshu frowned. Compared to that brainless Mu Qingling, this Liu Wanwan was no better. He glanced at his proud second son, silently looked away, and said to Mrs. Wen beside him.
"It's getting late, let the bride serve tea."
Mrs. Wen nodded with a smile. She glanced at her confidant mother beside her. Immediately, a maidservant put away the prepared futon, and the toast tea was also prepared.
Wen Tingzhou and Ruan Xi stepped forward and knelt on the futon, kowtow respectfully, and served tea from the tray carried by the maid beside them.
"Eunuch, please drink tea!"
Wen Shangshu took the tea with a smile and took a sip. He was very satisfied with the daughter-in-law who was born in the first place, and the eldest son had a good look. He praised Ruan Xi a few words, and finally gave Ruan Xi a precious meeting gift.
"Come here, bring up the golden tree."
The eyes of everyone present changed instantly when they heard this, especially Wen Tingzhou's brothers and sisters could no longer hide their jealous eyes.
After a while, the servants brought in a big golden tree.
Ruan Xi was stunned.
The golden tree was truly made of gold, and it was so golden that it almost blinded her.
Wen Tingzhou was stunned.
His father's kind attitude towards Ruan Ruan was within his expectations.
It's just that Wen Tingzhou was rarely surprised that his father would give him a golden tree as a gift.
Ruan Xi stabilized his mind, and quickly expressed his thanks respectfully: "Thank you father-in-law for the generous reward, my daughter-in-law is very flattered."
Wen Shangshu smiled.
Next, Ruan Xi offered tea to Mrs. Wen.
"Give mother-in-law some tea!"
Mrs. Wen took a sip of the tea with a smile, and without a word, she just offered the greeting.
It is a set of exquisite and luxurious emerald hair and a silk shop, which is quite generous.
Ruan Xi thanked with a smile, and then presented the needlework she made for the elders with her own hands, and gave the elders a meeting gift prepared by herself.
Almost all of Wen Tingzhou's younger brothers and sisters happily accepted the gift and changed their name to her sister-in-law, except for the Third Miss of the Wen family who was born by Aunt Zhao, who accepted the gift reluctantly, with a look of contempt and arrogance.
Ruan Xi pretended not to see it.
Anyway, it's not Wen Tingzhou's biological sister, so it's good to save face.
Wen Tingzhou glanced at the third sister lightly, and made a note in his heart.
Liu Wanwan, who was quietly waiting for the tea, clenched her hands under her sleeves. From the moment she came in, she felt everyone's scrutiny and critical eyes. She originally thought that Miss Ruan Si Gao Pan, Mr. Wen, would be made things difficult by the Wen family, but it just passed.
Wen Shangshu and Mrs. Wen were both very satisfied.
Especially the meeting gift from Wen Shangshu, even she couldn't help being jealous.
After Wen Tingzhou and Ruan Xi finished all the ceremonies of offering tea, they sat down under Mrs. Wen.
Next, it was Liu Wanwan's turn to offer tea. Wen Shangshu and Mrs. Wen looked indifferent, and the meeting gift was just a red envelope. Liu Wanwan bit her lip for this differential treatment, with a trace of grievance on her face. Wen Tingyi felt distressed, but he Not stupid, I didn't stand up for her on such an occasion.
Aunt Zhao was heartbroken when she saw this scene.
Things that cannot be put on the table.
When it was Liu Wanwan's turn to offer tea to her, Aunt Zhao finally couldn't help making things difficult for her.
Never picked up her tea.
Liu Wanwan shook her body delicately, and she glanced at the crowd present with grievance, Wen Tingyi finally stood up for Liu Wanwan.
"Auntie, Wanwan's hands are sore."
Aunt Zhao was annoyed for a while, and couldn't help but glared at her son.
"I ate too much in the morning. I really can't drink this cup of tea. I'll drink it later. You love your daughter-in-law, why don't you love me, my aunt."
"Auntie, I... I didn't mean that, Wanwan is weak, you can take the tea first and then drink it later." Wen Tingyi was determined to stand by Liu Wanwan's side.
"Brother, how can you talk to your aunt like this." Miss Wen San couldn't help but get angry.
Aunt Zhao was even more suffocated. Her son forgot his mother when he had a wife, so she hated Liu Wanwan, a charming girl.
Wen Shangshu didn't get involved in the affairs of the backyard, but Liu Wanwan, the second daughter-in-law, gave him a very bad impression.
Mrs. Wen's eyes were full of smiles.
Ruan Xi watched the theater with relish, she didn't need to offer tea to her father-in-law and aunts, Liu Wanwan was different, but this Liu Wanwan's attitude was really speechless.
Finally, Aunt Zhao drank Liu Wanwan's tea with an ugly face.
During the peer meeting ceremony, Liu Wanwan gave Ruan Xi a beautiful and delicate purse.
As soon as the purse was taken out, Ruan Xi's gold finger gave a warning.
She took a deep look at Liu Wanwan, and then took her purse when she could barely keep her smile.
"This pouch is really delicately embroidered and smells good. I have received the kindness from my second sibling."
Ruan Xi looked at Liu Wanwan with a half-smile, but Wen Tingzhou next to her squinted her eyes.
After the tea ceremony was over, Ruan Xi left the main courtyard and did not go back directly, but waited for someone on the way, playing with the delicate purse in his hand while waiting.
"Ruan Ruan, is there something wrong with this little purse?" Wen Tingzhou's brows and eyes flickered with coldness.
Ruan Xi nodded, not hiding it from him: "Well, this purse has been soaked in medicine."
Wen Tingzhou's handsome face darkened.
Suyu Suzhu and others were all angry when they heard this.
At this time, Wen Tingyi and Liu Wanwan walked over slowly, seeing Wen Tingzhou's group blocking them, Liu Wanwan's heart tightened, and she squeezed Wen Tingyi's arm tightly.
"Second brother and sister are really good tricks. I will give this purse soaked in medicine to my mother-in-law so that she can test it out." Ruan Xi smiled slightly at Liu Wanwan, but what she said made Liu Wanwan tremble like falling into an ice cellar.
It was discovered.
Wen Tingyi's heart sank: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?"
Ruan Xi smiled slightly: "Second brother should understand what I mean, I just hope that the second brother and sister's hands don't stretch so long."
Ruan Xi purposely uncovered it in person, in order to tear herself apart with Liu Wanwan, who was hostile to her, so as not to be stuck with her when she got the chance.
Don't think about it, Liu Wanwan will definitely not admit this matter, and probably will push it to others.
Ruan Xi doesn't care.
"Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense, Wanwan is kind-hearted, she is not such a person." Of course Wen Tingyi would not believe Ruan Xi's accusation.
"Ting Yi, I really don't know if the purse has been soaked in medicine. If it is true, someone must have framed me."
Liu Wanwan would not admit this as Ruan Xi expected.
Wen Tingzhou glanced at them coldly: "I'll find out about this, you stay away from Ruan Ruan in the future, especially the second sibling."
After speaking, Wen Tingzhou walked away with Ruan Xi.
Liu Wanwan, who stayed where she was, bit her lower lip tightly, her pretty face turned pale, and Wen Tingyi's heart ached for a while.
Back at Yongheju, Ruan Xi, who had left Liu Wanwan behind, was so excited that he had the golden tree moved into the house.
Wen Shangshu is so stupid that he even built a tree out of gold.
Wen Tingzhou looked at the golden golden tree in the room, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Ahem, Ruan Ruan, this golden tree should be put in the warehouse."
Ruan Xi snickered, she knew Wen Tingzhou would say that, but she didn't intend to put this attractive golden tree in the house.
"Husband, don't worry, I'll put it in the warehouse later."
Wen Tingzhou: "..."
The two newlyweds talked about the golden tree in the house, and the story of the tea service in the morning spread, and the servants in the mansion knew how to treat the two young wives who had just entered the door.
At this time, Emperor Shengde received the information sent by the person monitoring Ruan Sanniang. After the top one was about the function of the pulley, Emperor Shengde's pupils shrank slightly.
It seems that Miss Ruan San still has a lot of good things in her hands.
"I don't know what request she will make this time?"
Emperor Shengde squinted his eyes, picked up the information and read it, and after reading it, Emperor Shengde lowered his face.
"Tell Wen Tingzhou to enter the palace!"
Regarding Wen Tingzhou's newlywed wife, Emperor Shengde decided to suppress the matter first, and at the same time, a trace of suspicion arose in his heart. At the beginning, he secretly sent people to scare Miss Ruan Fourth and injured him. Fourth Miss was sterilized.
