My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

If this kind of thing happened in other mansions, the whole family would celebrate, and the master would be very generous in giving out rewards and adding extra dishes to everyone's dinner. But in the mansion of Marquis Wu'an, not only would there be no rewards or extra dishes, but the master would also find fault with people for no reason and beat and scold them.

It will take several days of trembling with fear before it can be considered good.

Shao Xun had expected this and curled his lips in sarcasm.

Madam Shao said indifferently, "Thanks to our ancestors, the emperor finally remembered our Wuwei Marquisate and finally employed you. You must do your job well and don't act rashly on your own. You should consult your superiors and listen to them. I can feel relieved now. If you don't listen to my teachings, you can't disobey your superiors. Otherwise, if you make a mistake, it's not a big deal for you to embarrass yourself and offend others, but it will humiliate the reputation of our ancestors. Your parents and ancestors will not forgive you! Do you remember?"

Mr. Shao sneered sarcastically, "Mother, please say less. I used to be a disobedient and unfilial person who didn't listen to the teachings of my elders. Now that I have been blessed by my ancestors and the emperor has remembered me and promoted me, I have become even more arrogant. How can I still listen to your teachings? If you talk too much, I will get impatient and I don't know what I will do!"

"Nonsense!" Old Madam Shao glared at Shao Xun instead of the sarcastic Second Master Shao. She coldly scolded him, "No matter what, I am still the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion. Why can't I teach a grandchild a lesson? If you dare to be disobedient and unfilial and do something lawless, don't blame me for filing a complaint in front of the emperor and for being rude. I want to see whether the emperor believes or not what I, the grandmother, say. Shao Xun, you take care of yourself."

Shao Xun was lazy, not sure whether to smile or not, "Old Madam is thoughtful, Shao Xun will naturally keep it in mind, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of Old Madam's kindness? Speaking of which, I, Shao Xun, can have what I have today, thanks to Old Madam's teachings."

Mr. Shao was even angrier: "Shao Xun, stop being so sarcastic!"

He clenched his fists in hatred. If he could beat Shao Xun, he would have rushed over and beaten him up.

But he didn't dare, he was cowardly.

Mr. Shao knew that although Shao Xun would not fight back in front of him, this kid would play dirty tricks behind his back. He had suffered several losses, knowing that he was the one who did it but had no evidence, so he was furious and had to believe it.

Shao Xun laughed, "What's the matter? In Second Uncle's eyes, my breathing is wrong, so what's the point of saying it's sarcastic?"

"you!"

Lin Yulan watched this farce, feeling the undisguised malice and jealousy, and felt a mixture of emotions. Her heart suddenly felt heavy.

Lord Shao is really pitiful.

Since no one was talking about congratulations, she would do it instead.

"My Lord, please stop talking. Today is a great day, and we should be happy." Lin Yulan looked at Madam Shao, with a smile on her face, "Madam, don't you agree?"

Madam Shao snorted.

Fu sneered, looking down on Lin Yulan: "Lin, I think you are really ignorant. You are from a small family, and you are short-sighted!"

Ever since his parents passed away, none of Madam Shao, the two uncles and aunts from the second house, including his cousins, had ever shown any kindness to Shao Xun. Shao Xun had long been accustomed to their malicious and deliberate attempts to disgust him, and he no longer cared.

Therefore, he did not take to heart the disgusting words that Mrs. Shao said, taking advantage of the situation and speaking in a sarcastic tone. The resentful looks from his second uncle and aunt were nothing but something that did not cause him any emotional fluctuations at all.

However, he couldn't bear to hear Fu being so mean to Lin Yulan.

Shao Xun raised his eyebrows and was about to say something, but Lin Yulan had already spoken first. Lin Yulan was still gentle and even looked a little shy. "I come from a small family and have little experience. I can't compare with Second Aunt. I just don't quite understand it, and I would like to ask Second Aunt for advice. The Marquis has made contributions and has been promoted to an official position, and has also received commendations and rewards from the emperor. Isn't this a happy event?"

Fu glared angrily: "You——"

"Why is Second Aunt looking at me like this? Did I say something wrong again?"

Madam Shao shouted, "Enough! Lin! The emperor is so gracious that he has remembered our Wuwei Marquisate again. The emperor's recognition of Wuwei Marquisate is of course a great joy!"

"The old lady is right," Lin Yulan said with a smile, "Since it is a big happy event, then naturally we should give out rewards to the whole house to make everyone happy. Don't you think so?"

Mrs. Shao's face was so dark that it seemed like water was about to drip out. She pursed her dry lips and stared at Lin Yulan with her triangular eyes coldly and sharply, as if she wanted to tear Lin Yulan apart.

After a while, Madam Shao sneered, and the coldness in her triangular eyes turned into a strong mockery, "Ah Xun can marry you as his wife, which makes them a good couple. I, an old woman, have good taste. I didn't choose your sister's legitimate daughter, but you. You are sensible. That's right. Since it's a big happy event, of course the whole house should give rewards. Second brother, you have to get this done."

Lin Yulan smiled again and said, "Thank you for your praise, old lady. I'll have to trouble Second Aunt to take care of this matter."

Lin Yulan glanced at the servants and said loudly, "This is something that should be celebrated. I will give you as much silver as the mansion rewards you."

The servants were immediately overjoyed!

Double the reward, this is double. It's unprecedented.

Who doesn't know how stingy the Second Madam is? How could she be willing to give out tips? Even during the Chinese New Year, she only gave three or five copper coins to each person.

The servants in Wuwei Marquis' Mansion were never too embarrassed to mention the word "reward" in public.

Mrs. Shao ordered the distribution of reward money. Fu was already heartbroken, but she didn't expect Lin Yulan to add this sentence. She became even more furious and glared at Lin Yulan fiercely.

Since this little bitch is so rich, why not just say she's here to give out rewards? Why bother dragging her along?

She would give as much as the public reward. If she gave less, wouldn't people hate her to death?

But, if the reward is too much, where can she get so much silver?

"My niece's wife is really rich!"

"It's a great occasion, so we should grit our teeth and give out this silver to reward people generously. This is what we should do."

"Ah!"

Fu was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

Old Madam Shao said she was tired and went back to Yanshou Hall. Mr. Shao and his wife also left with unhappy faces.

Shao Xun looked at Lin Yulan and just smiled at her.

Seeing that they had all left, Lin Yulan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she was a little afraid that they would take advantage of their status as elders to make trouble.
