Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

After the three of them had packed up their things, they were about to go out, but they ran into Xu who was carrying a food box. Xu was startled when she saw the bags on their backs, and hurried forward to stop them.

"Brother Hong's wife, I'm glad to see you. Please tell the child's grandmother and uncle's family that you have arrived home... I see that you are all very busy, so I won't go over. I'll trouble you to pass on a message to us..."

Xu could figure out why Zhang wanted to leave even with just a little thought.

If Zhang had left after the wedding banquet, it would not be a big deal, but now... we can't let the three of them leave like this. Xu had to stop the three of them no matter what.

"Aunt San, even if you want to leave, it won't hurt to leave for a while. We've been busy these past two days and haven't entertained you well. You'll be free in a couple of days. Aunt San, please stay here for two more days and let us entertain you well..."

But Zhang refused to listen to what Xu said and insisted on leaving. Xu had no choice but to stammer, "Aunt, even if you want to leave, you have to wait for Chunhua... and you have to say hello to my grandparents in person..."

Xu didn't say what she meant by "wait for Chunhua". Xiaolan only knew what she meant by that. Probably, she meant that after the matter of Chunhua was settled, the Sheng family would be harmonious again...

When Wang heard that Zhang was leaving, she rushed over immediately and naturally grabbed the third daughter to prevent them from leaving.

Xiao Liang came a little later and conveyed Mr. Sheng's intention, saying that they should stay here tonight, as they had to get through tonight anyway...

Since Mr. Sheng had spoken, even though Zhang's mother and her two children were reluctant, they had no choice but to stay for the time being. Soon, Xu prepared a sumptuous meal for them, and Wang also came to accompany them in person.

Wang complained to Zhang about her grievances, "I am just a woman in the inner house. I have no say in anything. The affairs of the outer courtyard are handled by the old man and the eldest master, and the inner courtyard is handled by the old lady. I am just a person who listens to whoever tells me to run errands. I am not like you. Now the third son is also an official. You can make the decisions about the affairs of the inner house, and the children are ambitious... Think about Xiaoru... She died so tragically..."

Wang did not mention Chunhua's affairs but only talked about her situation and miserable life. She wanted to remove herself from this matter completely. Even if she really did something in this matter, she was just a follower and she was forced to do so.

"Others may not know the situation in our family, but you know it best. The old lady is the most domineering of the two of us. Look at how she scolded me today. The words she cursed me today are not something a mother-in-law would say to her daughter-in-law! It's fine if she scolded me, but she also scolded my poor Xiaoru..."

"In her eyes, none of us daughters-in-law, grandchildren, or grandchildren are good. We who are around have to endure this every day. She also scolds you who are not around. She has now made this her livelihood..."

"My dear Third Aunt, you are at home now. You can't hear the old lady scolding you here. At least you can live a peaceful life..."

Zhang's mother and the other two remained silent. Wang was just trying to gain their approval and sow discord between them. But what Wang said was true, which left the three of them no way to refute.

After Wang and Xu finished their meal with Zhang and the others, and got Zhang's agreement that they would not leave tonight, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out.

As soon as the two left, Pang Xiu'e and her mother came over.

Pang Xiu'e's mother lowered her voice and said to Zhang, "Sister, I know a general idea about your family's affairs. Over the years, you have helped them a lot. Now that the eldest brother is an official, you are still living in Shengjia Village and have not taken advantage of him. Now the eldest brother has married the old lady to the Zheng family... Tsk tsk..."

"Why? They must want to take advantage of the Zheng family's influence! The Zheng family is the local boss, a big family, they are rich, even if they pluck out their hair, it is thicker than our waist... Although your family is not short of these small things, but you have made contributions and worked hard for the Sheng family, you should stay for two more days, I will not let you go back empty-handed..."

Xiao Lan took a look at Pang Xiu'e and her mother, and instantly understood that Sheng Chunhua was now a piece of fat meat. Not only did the Sheng family want to eat it, but even the Pang family, as their in-laws, also wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Zhang didn't like what Pang Xiu'e's mother said, and it showed on her face. Pang Xiu'e was a smart girl, and when she saw Zhang like this, she exchanged glances with her mother.

"Aunt, I said this because you treated my Xiu'e well." Xiu'e's mother said, "Even if you want to leave, you should wait until this critical moment. If you leave now, what will happen? What will the old man and the old lady think? You can stay here for a few more days. Then our two families can go back together and we can take care of each other on the way."

At this point, Xiao Lan understood everything. Xiu'e and her mother came this time to persuade them to stay. The reason they were so enthusiastic was naturally for themselves. If Zhang took the children away, Xiu'e's family would be awkward. After all, everyone in their family had left, so why were you still refusing to leave?

At this time, footsteps and voices were heard outside. It turned out that the Zheng family had sent someone to pick up Chunhua, and they had urged her several times, but Chunhua just refused to leave. This time, it was Master Zheng II who personally brought people to pick her up.

Xiao Lan's heart moved. Did Cui really intend to let Chunhua go back?

Cui in the upper room refused to open the door, and the other members of the Sheng family couldn't let the new son-in-law wait at the door like that. It was inappropriate in terms of age and status.

Mr. Sheng, together with Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai, opened the door of the upper room.

Then Master Zheng Er walked to Chunhua with a smile, and the two of them walked outside, surrounded by a group of maids and servants. Chunhua had obviously washed up and was no longer in a mess.

"It seems that Master Zheng Er likes my aunt very much..." Xiao Lan thought to herself, what exactly does this old man like about Chunhua?

Suddenly, Xiaowen pulled at her hem. Seeing Xiaolan looking at her, he whispered in her ear, "When I went to look for my uncle and second uncle, I didn't go in at first, but listened outside for a while... The old man said that he was so old and had seen all kinds of women, but he liked the authenticity of our aunt, saying that our aunt didn't have any tricks, and that our aunt was different..."

Chunhua really lives a very realistic life. Just like Cui Shi, she shows everything on her face. It's like a turtle looking at a mung bean.

"Let's get through this night and leave early tomorrow morning. We won't get involved. Let this family do whatever they want." Zhang said. It was obvious that she didn't want to stay here any longer.

After Niang San lay down, she was half asleep when she heard some noise coming from the upper room. There were the voices of Grandpa Sheng, Sheng Nuo and Wang, as well as Cui's scolding and Lanhua's persuasion.
