Chapter 67 Wang Yan Returns Home
When Mrs. Kang heard Old Lady Wang speak well of Sheng Hong, she felt a little embarrassed.
After all, the Sheng family is living better now.
Sheng Hong's official career became more prosperous.
Comparing it with the Kang family's performance, it seems more and more that I had misjudged them and had no tact.
How could the arrogant and narrow-minded King Kang accept this?
Seeing that Wang Ruofu is living a better life than me now is more painful than killing her!
So after thinking for a while, Wang Wang smiled and said to Wang Ruofu, "That's right, my brother-in-law's career is going smoothly now, and now he has entered Bianjing. His future prospects are limitless."
After hearing the praise from Mrs. Kang, Wang Ruofu was delighted.
Thinking that her sister was going to praise her family, she was about to nod when she saw Lady Kang continue to say, "That's good too. It will help my good niece, Hualan, find a good relative in the future!"
This sentence is the key point!
So what if you, Sheng Hong, have a successful career? Don't forget that you have a young girl named Hualan at home who is waiting to get married!
The arranged marriage is off.
Finding a good family in the future will probably be as difficult as climbing to heaven!
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Old Lady Wang and Kang Haifeng froze.
I didn't expect that Queen Kang would bring up this matter today.
It's really like rubbing salt into the Sheng family's wounds!
Who among those present didn't know that Sheng Hualan's marriage to Yuan Wenshao, the second son of the Yuan family of Earl Zhongqin, had fallen through?
Seeing that his daughter was going to marry into the Earl's mansion and become the second wife.
Just when it was about to be completed, the marriage was suddenly called off.
No one could stand it if they were parents.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Wang and Kang Haifeng couldn't help but look at Wang Ruofu and Sheng Hong.
I thought to myself that I must not let these two get angry and confront Princess Kang, otherwise it would cause an unpleasant situation.
Who knows when you look over there.
But he saw that Wang Ruofu's face was full of smiles and joy.
There was no trace of anger as if a sore spot had been touched, but instead it seemed as if he was being flattered by the Kang Wang family.
Although Sheng Hong frowned, he did not show much anger.
See this scene.
Queen Kang even began to doubt whether she had said something wrong.
What about the expected covering of one's face in shame?
At the very least, he would be angry and embarrassed.
What's wrong with you two? Why aren't you following the script?
Old Lady Wang saw something and asked, "Fuer, judging from your attitude, could it be that Hualan has already found a relative? Which relative?"
Although Wang Ruofu is straightforward, she is not completely brainless.
This concerns his daughter's lifelong happiness, and it's something that hasn't been decided yet, so naturally he wouldn't talk about it casually.
Even my own family.
"It hasn't been finalized yet. I won't tell my mother about something that has not been decided yet."
After hearing what Wang Ruofu said, Sheng Hong, who wanted to stop her, nodded.
Fortunately.
Although my wife is a straightforward person, she is still clear-headed about this matter and did not say anything careless.
After all, many people have many opinions.
If it gets out, it will definitely have a bad impact.
When Old Lady Wang saw that Wang Ruofu refused to say anything, she knew that the marriage was probably still under discussion and had not been finalized, so she decided not to ask any further questions.
She nodded secretly in her heart: after being a mistress for so many years, her little daughter has finally grown up and has become a bit sophisticated.
But Kang Wang was unhappy. "Sister, everyone here is a family member. We are talking at home and won't spread outside. What's wrong with saying it?"
Kang Wangshi said sarcastically, "Could it be that my sister has become estranged from us because she sees that her brother-in-law has been promoted?"
Hearing what Wang Ruofu said, she couldn't help but look embarrassed.
At this time, Hualan stood up, bowed to Old Lady Wang, Kang Wangshi and Kang Haifeng, then straightened her body and said neither servilely nor arrogantly: "Aunt, it's not that mother doesn't want to tell you, it's really that the marriage has not been decided yet, so it's hard to say.
Our Sheng, Wang, and Kang families are all noble families. Even if what we said today was not heard by others, it is still a violation of etiquette to discuss it in private."
Hua Lan continued, "How about this, wait for the matchmaker to come home in a few days, and then ask your aunt to come home to take care of it. What do you think, aunt?"
"That's right, that's right!" Wang Ruofu quickly followed Hua Lan's words and said.
After hearing Hualan's words, Kang Wangshi didn't want to go into it any further, otherwise it would seem that she, as an elder, was being disrespectful and impolite, so she said indifferently, "That's fine, I also want to know who can marry my virtuous niece, and as her aunt, I have to help you check it out.
We can’t let them lose their manners!”
……
According to custom, a reunion dinner should be held on the day the daughter returns home.
At noon.
Sheng Hong and his family were having dinner when they saw his brother-in-law, Wang Yan, coming back.
I was puzzled at that time.
Why are you back so early?
Even if my sister-in-law has lunch earlier, she shouldn't go home so early, right?
Don't you want to chat with your father-in-law again?
Wang Yan was naturally upset at his wife's parents' home, so he hurriedly finished his meal and rushed back.
Back then, when Mrs. Wang’s mother saw that her daughter had not given birth to a boy, she bowed every five steps and kowtowed every ten steps to ask for the fertility-granting Guanyin from Fengxia Mountain.
But when Wang Kang was about to get married, she directly and forcibly took away Mrs. Wang's fertility-granting Guanyin.
Her daughter had always been bullied by her sister-in-law, and now even the Guanyin who she had prayed to for fertility was snatched away. Naturally, Mrs. Wang's family felt that Wang Yan did not care for their daughter, so they disliked Wang Yan a little.
Wang Yan was not the type to suffer bullying.
So after a simple meal, he hurried back.
Of course, when you go out, you make up your own reasons.
At this moment, Wang Yan took Wang Ruofu's hand and said "affectionately":
"I can't help but feel excited when I think about how my sister has been wandering outside for many years and now she has finally moved to Bianjing with her brother-in-law and his family. Today is your first homecoming dinner after returning to Bianjing, and the whole family must eat together!"
Wang Ruofu was naturally deeply moved after hearing this.
He thought his brother was really doing it for him, so he quickly finished his meal at his wife's parents' house and rushed back immediately.
My eyes suddenly turned red, mist formed in them, and I almost cried.
Sheng Hong looked suspicious as he listened.
When did my brother-in-law and my wife become so close?
And listening to this...
Why does it sound so much like the polite words I say in official circles?
At this moment, Mrs. Wang, who was following behind Wang Yan, looked at the scene of deep brotherly love in front of her and couldn't help but spit secretly in her heart.
If she had not witnessed it, she would have believed her husband's lies.
Why miss your sister?
Aren’t you afraid of facing your mother’s questioning look?
Looking at Wang Ruofu's expression, she seemed to be deeply touched.
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but sigh in her heart: How nice it would be if both of my sisters-in-law were like this!
But they are all born to the same parents.
How come their personalities are so different!
