Chapter 89

After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, Wang Yan nodded and said, "Okay, I haven't seen my uncle for a long time. It's a good opportunity for the whole family to get together."

Wang Ruofu nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you, mother and brother, for your understanding."

"Then I will feel relieved when I go to my uncle's house this time."

"Going to uncle's house?"

Old Madam Wang frowned when she heard this: "You want to go to your uncle's house? What for? Just write a letter, why bother traveling thousands of miles in person?"

"I wrote to my uncle's family before, but he declined. I'm afraid that if I just write a letter this time, my uncle won't agree."

Wang Ruofu glanced at Hua Lan and explained, "It just so happens that the girls at home are being looked after by a nanny from the palace. The weather is just right now, so I can spare some free time and take this opportunity to go to my uncle's house."

"The palace nurse?"

Wang Ruoyu was just about to join Old Lady Wang in agreeing with her to dissuade her, but when he heard what Wang Ruofu said, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"Well, my husband's mother was raised in the palace for a period of time, so she has quite a few connections."

Wang Ruofu smiled and said, "The old lady saw that my Hua'er was going to be the eldest lady in the Marquis' Mansion soon, so she invited an old acquaintance, Madam Kong from the palace, to come to the house to teach the girls the rules."

Wang Ruoyu felt even more envious and jealous when he heard this.

The palace's governess came home to give lessons.

Once this news is released, the reputation of the Sheng family's daughter will rise to a higher level.

He is clearly a brainless and reckless person.

How come she gets all the good things?

She was so outstanding, but she chose a lazy husband, and there are a lot of messes at home.

God is so unfair!
"Mother-in-law, please let Fuer go."

I don’t know if it’s because Sheng Hong agreed to Wang Ruofu’s request to go to her uncle’s house a few days ago, but it’s not an exaggeration to say that Wang Ruofu’s attitude towards Sheng Hong these days is as gentle as water.

Sheng Hong also started to address Wang Ruofu in a more affectionate way: "Fuer has been thinking about her uncle's family for a long time. They didn't come when the betrothal gift was paid before. Now we must invite them to come once, so that Fuer can feel relieved."

Seeing that Sheng Hong and his wife were like this, since there was no need for Old Lady Wang to invite them herself, she didn't want to be a bad person, so she nodded and said, "Since you two agree, then Fu'er will go there."

Old Madam Wang also carefully warned, "As a woman, you will be traveling a long distance, so you should bring more guards with you. If you want, you can also ask the Yang family for some guards. Anyway, your two families are about to become relatives, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Safety comes first."

Although Old Lady Wang did not love Wang Ruofu as much as she loved Wang Ruoyu, she was her own daughter after all, and a mother would worry about her child even when he was far away, so she couldn't help but nag her a few words.

Wang Ruofu was deeply moved when she heard the caring words of Mrs. Wang. Her eyes suddenly turned red and she said hurriedly, "Yes, mother, I understand and will not joke about my own safety."

After the discussion, the Sheng family finished their meal and left.

When Wang Yan sent Sheng Hong and the other two to the carriage and rushed back, he heard his mother, Old Lady Wang, talking to Wang Ruoyu in the house.

"I see that your sister has deep feelings for your uncle's family. She still remembers their kindness. When your uncle's family comes, for your sister's sake, you should control your temper and don't embarrass them."

How could Old Mrs. Wang not understand her own daughter?

He paid the most attention to family background and always looked down on merchants' families, even if they were his relatives. That was why he gave Wang Ruoyu a reminder after Wang Ruofu left.

The Sheng family is different now. In the future, I have to consider his family's reputation.

Wang Ruoyu showed some impatience when she heard this. Wang Yan understood his sister's temper, so he took the opportunity to persuade her: "Yes, sister, Fu'er is the youngest in the family. She finally made a request, so we should satisfy her."

"Got it. I'll just avoid their house then."

Wang Ruoyu looked suspicious and said unhappily, "As long as they don't get close to me, I won't bother with them."

But in the end, Wang Ruoyu glanced at Old Lady Wang and said uncertainly: "But I think my good sister is much more enthusiastic towards my uncle's family than towards us."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her face darkened slightly, but she just shook her head slightly.

"Your uncle's family only came to Bianjing for a visit, and they don't live here forever. Even if Fu'er has feelings for him, she has nowhere to go. There's no need to fight over this."

"What if his family just stays here?"

Wang Ruoyu suddenly raised her voice and said in a shrill voice: "Maybe they didn't come here in the beginning on purpose, just to make my innocent sister miss the old times even more. Then they came to Bianjing later and cried and complained, and put on a show in front of my sister, so that they could make demands."

An uncertain expression immediately appeared on Old Mrs. Wang's face.

Wang Yan saw that his sister was about to act up again, so he stepped forward and said, "Uncle's family is also a wealthy businessman, what benefits can you get? Stop joking, sister."

Wang Yan really couldn't understand his sister's train of thought.

If my uncle's family needs help, it will be the thriving Sheng family that will be in trouble. What does it have to do with my family or your Kang family?
Do you need to stir up trouble in front of your mother, Old Lady Wang?

But Wang Ruoyu just can't stand seeing other people doing better than they are.

Seeing her younger sister's family rising in power, she, the elder sister, had not had the chance to benefit from it, but was overtaken by her uncle's family, who came from a merchant family and whom she had not visited for a long time. She felt unhappy.

"Why else? Of course it's for my grandchildren."

Wang Ruoyu snorted, "His grandchildren are about the same age as our children, and it is time for them to make progress. Maybe this is what he is thinking."

"It's okay for the literary side, you have to rely on your own ability, but the military side is a big deal. As long as Wang Ruofu says a few words to her son-in-law who will soon become a marquis, how can her son-in-law not help? Even if she gets a little bit of money, it will be enough to make her family very happy."

After listening to what Wang Ruoyu said, Wang Yan became a little uncertain.

After all, there is no one in my uncle's family who can take the imperial examination.

If one wants to improve their status, there is only one way, the military, and the Yang family is the best among the military nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty...

But Wang Yan immediately regained his consciousness and reacted.

After all, what does this have to do with my family?
It’s because you, Wang Ruo, can’t stand it anymore!
……

Jiying Lane.

Sheng family.

In Weirui Pavilion, Sheng Hong was talking to Wang Ruofu.

"Your mother's words do make sense. The journey is long, and it's not safe for a woman like you to go alone. How about we forget about it and send someone else?"

Although Sheng Hong wanted Wang Ruofu to leave home, he was not a completely cold-hearted person. Therefore, he reconsidered the pros and cons of this trip and felt that there were some risks. It would be better to send someone else instead of going through the trouble himself.
