After the marriage, my husband's family listened to my voice and turned the tide

This statement must never be accepted.

Pan Yaying avoided the topic and said, "I heard that my sister is of noble status now. My aunt thought that you and Xi'er are cousins ​​and were more like biological sisters in the past, so she asked you to help your cousin Lan Xi more. I never thought... I was the one who caused trouble."

[Don't you know what's going on between Yu Lanxi and me? We're like biological parents? You can really lie with your eyes open. Support? You can even say that.]

Ke Xin heard this and looked like she was about to explode with anger.

Shang Tingli looked weak and aggrieved as he said, "My aunt asked me to help my cousin Lan Xi more, and I agreed. In the future, no matter which lady's banquet I attend, I am willing to bring my cousin Lan Xi with me. But even though I did this, my aunt was not satisfied and even wanted to hurt my heart." As he said this, he was about to wipe away his tears, "I feel so uncomfortable in my heart."

"..." Ke Xin was stunned. Girl, what great acting skills you have.

Pan Yaying was so angry that she wanted to bite her teeth to pieces: "I heard that my sister clearly knew that this was not what my aunt meant."

Shang Tingli stopped wiping his tears and asked, "What does aunt mean?"

Pan Yaying: “…”

Bitch, you are asking questions even though you already know the answer!

"Alright, alright, you've made such a big fuss over such a small matter. Sister Xi, you're becoming more and more ignorant now!" Yu Jing got angry directly at Yu Lanxi.

He couldn't afford to lose face for the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, Mrs. Pan, in front of the younger generation. With the Prince of Ren present, it was also not convenient for him to lecture his niece, the Prince of Ren's wife. He could only start with his eldest daughter, whom he loved the most.

"Dad?" Yu Lanxi shouted in disbelief.

Yu Jing glared at her, and she shut up in anger, not daring to say anything.

Yu Jing then bowed to Ke Xin and said, "My Lord, this is all a misunderstanding. Look—"

Ke Xin did not comment immediately.

Yu Jing's heart sank, and he glanced at Yu Lanxi sharply, saying without question, "Apologize to Sister Ting."

Apologize? To whom? To whom? Is it polite?

She apologized to Shang Tingli?

Yu Lanxi's pupils suddenly shrank. She couldn't believe her ears. Then she raised her lips in anger and laughed contemptuously. Then she quickly put on a cold face and said firmly: "I won't."

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Yu Jing felt embarrassed and his face turned pale and blue, as if he had not expected that his eldest daughter would openly disobey him.

Just as he was about to get angry and curse, Ji Zhang stood up and bowed to him, "Father-in-law, calm down and don't argue with Lan Xi." He then bowed to Shang Tingli and said, "I'm sorry, Princess. Lan Xi was just a little stubborn and didn't mean any harm. I apologize to you on her behalf."

"Who wants you to..."

Yu Lanxi opened her mouth to scold Ji Zhang for acting on his own, but Pan Yaying stopped her in time, and she swallowed the rest of her words.

Yu Jing secretly agreed with the cheap son-in-law's actions. He thought he was very sensible and willing to step on the steps he handed over. He coughed twice and glanced at Yu Lanxi: "For Ah Zhang's sake, I won't see you."

After saying this, he couldn't help but look at Shang Tingli, wondering what his niece would do.

Shang Tingli smiled and said, "My cousin's husband is a man of integrity. No wonder he was promoted twice in a row. I would like to congratulate my cousin's husband on his promotion in advance."

To her, it made no difference whether it was Yu Lanxi or Ji Zhang who apologized.

In the end, one is not sincere, and the other is particularly good at pretending.

"Promotion? Promotion to what?" Yu Rongbao didn't understand, so he asked Ji Zhang curiously, "Is my brother-in-law going to be promoted?"

Ji Zhang didn't dare to admit it outright, and only said: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will be promoted."

He couldn't guarantee anything if something unexpected happened.

"What's so surprising about this? Cousin Lan Xi said that her husband is definitely the Guide Lang General." Shang Tingli said.

[I want to see what kind of incident could have allowed Ji Zhang, the beast, to be promoted. With Yu Lanxi being so brainless, what good ideas can she come up with? ]

Ke Xin's gaze, as deep as a pool, fell on Ji Zhang, and his brows seemed to be wrinkled like several hills.

From a blue-feathered guard to a Guide Langjiang?

On the surface, it sounds like only two levels have been jumped, but from guard to general, how can two levels be explained? This is equivalent to Ji Zhang giving up being a guard and joining the army, and becoming a fifth-rank general. Many people may not be able to climb to this position even if they work hard all their lives.

"General Guide? I remember my brother-in-law wasn't a blue-feathered guard?"

"Even if a guard gets promoted, he's still... a guard, right?"

"Shouldn't the Blue Feather Guards be promoted to Fourth-Class Guards or Third-Class Guards?"

Yu Rongbao and the other young masters were puzzled.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the arrow has been shot and there is no turning back. Ji Zhang gritted his teeth and explained: "I am lucky and caught the Fourth Prince's eye. This time the Fourth Prince went to Shabei to take charge and was willing to take me with him. If I can make some achievements in Shabei, I will need a Guide Langjiang."

Yu Lanxi was proud of it: "How can it be luck? It's clearly because you, my husband, are outstanding in ability, and the Fourth Prince is a good horse breeder." He was as discerning as she was.

Ji Zhang smiled as if embarrassed.

Shang Tingli's eyes rolled around.

【I see. 】

[To put it nicely, it sounds like "good luck" and "good horse selection", but in fact it means that she has taken refuge with the Fourth Prince. 】

[However, in his previous life, the Fourth Prince did bring back good news from his trip to Shabei, because it was at this time that the Fourth Prince hooked up with the Northern Barbarians.]

[Hehe, Yu Lanxi, do you think the final winner is the Fourth Prince? Humph, then you are wrong. The final winner is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.]

Ke Xin lowered his eyes and put aside all his thoughts.

The northern part of Shabei borders the eastern part of Modong, and the northern barbarians have been making moves against Shabei recently. The emperor wanted to order several princes to take charge of Shabei, but before deciding on the candidates, the fourth prince took the initiative to request permission to go there.

If what she said was true, then colluding with the Northern Barbarians was the motive for the Fourth Prince to take the initiative to request permission.

In fact, many of the things she mentioned in her heart have not yet been confirmed, but they are not completely without trace.

"Cousin Lan Xi said that she would be promoted in a few days, and I really thought that my cousin-in-law would really be promoted. It turns out that it will take some time." Shang Tingli found it inexplicably funny.

But she was determined in her heart - she wanted to save Ke Xin's family. She would never allow the couple to be proud in front of her.

Ji Zhang's face turned red, he scratched his neck helplessly, and said nothing.

Yu Lanxi raised her chin and said, "A few days later is not much different from a few days later. It's just a matter of time."

Shang Tingli: "As long as you are happy."

As things developed to this point, it inexplicably became an early "celebration party".

The protagonist is Ji Zhang, who is so embarrassed that he feels ashamed. Although he knows that he has the ability, he has not really accomplished it yet. He is embarrassed to celebrate too early.

Because of the commotion just now, Pan Yaying didn't want to talk to Shang Tingli anymore, and even put aside the more criticisms, and didn't allow Yu Lanxi to provoke her. Yu Lingling was used to changing her mind when the wind blew, and she didn't want to take the initiative to cause trouble at this time.

Shang Tingli actually enjoyed the second half of the meal very much.
