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

Ke Xin just glanced at him lightly and then looked away, his beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly.

[I am worried. How can I ask my mother to be more cautious? ]

Shang Tingli didn't know that because of his thoughts, the four mother and children around him were all thinking about something.

[After all, this will not happen until next year, and the prince should not have thought of killing his wife at this time. In addition, this is a matter for the elders, so it is not easy to deal with. ]

Wenhui responded in her heart that her mother already knew about it and would take precautions on her own initiative.

"Wow, the full moon is out!"

A voice exclaimed, and everyone in the pavilion stood up and walked out.

A full moon hung in the sky amidst the stars. The palace lanterns on the side of the path illuminated the osmanthus trees, dotted with golden flowers, like fireflies in the sky.

Osmanthus floating jade, the first moon is full of sky, and the night is as cool as a wash.

Outside the pavilion, a moon-shaped platform had been set up without anyone noticing, and moon cakes, fruits, and sweet-scented osmanthus wine had already been placed on it. Wenhui led the women out and ordered people to light red candles and burn incense sticks.

Under the bright moonlight, the incense and candles sway in the wind.

There was a brocade quilt spread on the ground. Wenhui was the first to wash her hands and burn incense. After she worshipped the moon, the other female family members followed suit one by one.

After worshiping the moon, Shang Tingli returned to the pavilion to get his Kongming lantern. He was about to write down his wish when someone asked, "What's your wish?"

Shang Tingli paused, then smiled and said, "It won't work if you say it out loud."

"Ok."

Ke Xin took his lamp from the side and walked out.

[The sky is big, the earth is big, I am the biggest, I hope I can avoid the punishment of being torn apart by a car, and everything goes well in life. ]

[I am still a little greedy. I hope that such a good mother will always be respectable and worry-free. I hope that the people of Nanwu can get through the difficult times. I hope that the people of Tianzhao can enjoy good weather and good harvests! ]

Hearing her voice, Ke Xin paused slightly. His expression was complicated for a moment, then he came to his senses and walked out of the pavilion.

She hoped that God would be fair, but she didn't say these wishes out loud.

Shang Tingli had many wishes, but she only put a few strokes on the Kongming lantern.

"I only hope that God will grant the people good weather and good harvests." She stopped writing and recited softly.

……

It's time the next day.

Today was a sunny day, and the sun was already high in the sky. The carriage of Prince Ren's residence stopped in front of the gate of Marquis Yi Zhong's residence, and Shang Tingli got off the carriage.

Yu Jing brought his wife and children to greet him at the gate.

When he saw her, Yu Jing was still looking back. After a moment, he did not see the figure he wanted to see. He frowned and asked, "I heard that my sister came alone?"

There was disappointment in his tone, but more of it was questioning.

Shang Tingli felt like laughing after hearing this.

She curled her lips and raised a perfect smile: "My uncle said in the post yesterday that he wanted to see me, so I came here today. Of course, I came alone."

When she received Yu Jing's post yesterday, to be honest, she wanted to reject it. But she also knew that she couldn't be willful when the other party hadn't made any serious mistakes.

Marrying into a royal family certainly has its advantages, but it is not all advantages. Often at this time, one has to consider more than just one's own face.

Yu Jing suppressed his anger and said, "But did you hear that my sister did something to make the prince unhappy?"

Shang Tingli was surprised and asked, "Why do you say that, uncle?"

Yu Jing stared at her with a cold look, "Then why didn't the prince come with me?"

Shang Tingli couldn't hold back his laughter, so he could only try his best not to look sarcastic, grinning and saying, "Your Highness is no less idle than me, he always has his own things to do, how can he follow me every day?"

Yu Jing was still not satisfied with this explanation, but he did not complain anymore. He just turned around and went back to the house, saying, "Your aunt has something to tell you, so your uncle is busy now."

When he found that there was no profit to be made, he left without hesitation.

Shang Tingli pursed his lips.

Because my mother thinks that my uncle's family is her umbrella of protection?

"Listen, sister."

Shang Tingli looked over and nodded, "Aunt."

"Come with me." Pan Yaying smiled peacefully, looking like an aunt.

Shang Tingli became alert in her heart. It was rare for Pan to be so kind to her. Most of the time, she would force her to do things she didn't like.

Following Pan Yaying all the way to her courtyard, Shang Tingli was thinking in his mind, thinking of many possibilities, but he remained patient and calm.

As I entered the main room, a charming voice asked in a coquettish tone, "Mom, why did you come back just now?"

Shang Tingli paused. Yu Lanxi is here too?

Yes, today is the sixteenth, and this is her real parents’ home, so why wouldn’t she come back?

"Hey, isn't this my cousin who listens to etiquette?"

Yu Lanxi sat below the main seat, raised her chin slightly, and looked at people with sidelong eyes.

"It turns out to be cousin Lanxi." Shang Tingli smiled, and the look he cast on Yu Lanxi was something only they could understand.

Yu Lanxi's expression changed slightly, she gritted her teeth and turned her head away. She just wouldn't accept this courtesy, what could you do to her?

Shang Tingli just smiled and said nothing, and did not attack her. It was nothing to be ashamed of for her to be polite to him in private, but it would be embarrassing for her to kneel down to him in public.

"I wonder what my aunt wants to see me about?" Shang Tingli asked straight to the point.

Pan Yaying did not answer immediately, but ordered the maid behind her: "You go out first."

Yu Lanxi also took the opportunity to pass a wink to her two maids.

After their maids left the room, Shang Tingli had not made any move yet, so Pan Yaying couldn't help but frown.

Yu Lanxi said directly in displeasure: "You two bitches, get out of here."

Fang Zhi and Gan Tang looked at their master and ignored her.

Shang Tingli said with an unhappy expression: "Madam Ji calls me a lowly maid all the time. She is so arrogant."

Without waiting for Yu Lanxi to speak, Pan Yaying said first: "Listen, sister, what your aunt wants to say is not suitable for the servants to be present."

Shang Tingli said coldly, "Aunt just said it directly. I am not an unreasonable person." She looked at Yu Lanxi and said coldly, "It's just to let my people go out for a while. Madam Ji came up and called her a slut. It's hard not to think that Aunt is not good at educating her daughter."

These words offended both the mother and daughter, and Pan Yaying's face turned ugly, but when she thought about what she was going to say next, she endured it.

Shang Tingli continued, "Of course, this may not be my aunt's problem. For example, I am also a girl who came from a marquis's mansion, so I am different from my cousin."

"What do you mean by that?" Yu Lanxi gritted her teeth and glared at her.

Shang Tingli suddenly chuckled: "What do you think, cousin?"

"Listen, sister." Pan Yaying called out lightly and gave her daughter a look.

Yu Lanxi closed her eyes, almost choking with anger, and took a deep breath to adjust her mood. She just said to herself, wait for her, don't let her find a chance to attack.

Shang Tingli glanced at Fang Zhi and Gan Tang, and after they left, he looked at Pan Yaying and said, "Aunt, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Pan Yaying smiled gently: "It's like this, listen to me..."

Yu Lanxi seemed to know the inside story. She had a face full of resentment before, but now she smiled. However, this smile seemed a bit gloating.

Shang Tingli lowered his eyes slightly.

What is she so happy about? What kind of "trouble" could possibly happen to her?

"It was my aunt who neglected it before. When my sister got married, I was not only busy with your cousin Lan Xi's affairs, but also had to take care of you. You two are the apples of my eye, so I was sad..." Pan Yaying couldn't help shedding two tears as she spoke. She found it difficult to continue and took out a handkerchief to wipe her eyes.

The mother and daughter have always had a deep affection for each other. Yu Lanxi comforted her, "Mom, I understand you, and I'm sure my cousin Tingli can understand it, too."

Shang Tingli had a blank expression on his face.

No, she didn't understand.

Pan Yaying paused for a moment while wiping her eyes, and looked at Shang Tingli with eyes that seemed to have a slight glow, "Really? Can Sister Ting understand your aunt?"

Shang Tingli: “…”

If she were still a young girl, this kind of posture would naturally arouse people's sympathy, but she is already a middle-aged woman, and if she continues to act like this, it is inevitable that it will be a bit disgusting.

Shang Tingli refused to take on this role, and Pan Yaying felt a pang in her heart and almost couldn't continue acting.

They were mother and daughter, or Yu Lanxi gave her a way out: "Of course it's true, my cousin must understand you."

Pan Yaying finally smiled: "That's good, then..."

Shang Tingli could no longer bear it, and after enduring it again and again, he finally couldn't help it and interrupted her, saying, "I told you, aunt, just say what you want to say, there's no need to go on like this."

They were acting so unembarrassed that she almost closed her eyes and covered her ears.

Pan Yaying choked, realizing that she really had no patience, and said, "When you got married, one was my own daughter and the other was my own niece. I was indeed quite negligent."

Shang Tingli smiled indifferently and poured himself a cup of tea.

Look, they always neglect her and don't even know how to offer her a cup of hot tea.

At this moment, he even has the nerve to play the emotional card.

She took a sip of tea, and her heart was calm. Oh, this tea is still cold.

"Now that I think about it, it was my fault as an aunt that I was not considerate enough. I apologize to Sister Ting," Pan Yaying said with a slight sob.

Shang Tingli thought she was just acting again, and smiled faintly, "Aunt, there's no need to be like this. It's all in the past, and I never took it to heart."

She also wanted to say thank you, thanking her aunt for forgetting to trip her up and not placing an unusable person in her place, which saved her a lot of effort.

Pan Yaying said hurriedly: "This won't do!"

"Oh?" Shang Tingli smiled, "Then my aunt is going to make it up to me? How?"

Pan Yaying cleared her throat and put on a smile: "Of course I have to make it up to you, Sister. I was wrong for not preparing a nanny for you that day. How about making it up to you now, Sister?"

Shang Tingli couldn't hold back and burst out laughing with a crisp "chuckle".

Why? Do you think she's a fool? Do you think she's still the young girl who just arrived and let her control her?

Back then, he was busy with his precious daughter's affairs and didn't arrange any spies for his annoying niece. Now he regrets it and wants to arrange another spy... No, is there really such a free pie in the sky?

Shang Tingli wondered, could it be that I was really so stupid in the past? How could I have given my aunt such a misconception?

"What are you laughing at?" Yu Lanxi frowned.

Shang Tingli shook his head and looked at Pan Yaying, his eyes bright and clear: "How did my aunt think of this? After all, it has been more than two months."

Pan Yaying seemed to be sad and said, "I heard that my sister is rejecting my aunt?"

Shang Tingli said bluntly: "I have no shortage of people to serve me now, so I don't need a nanny."

"But I heard that my sister is now the Crown Prince's Consort. How can a Crown Prince's Consort not have a Nanny by her side?" Pan Yaying said affectionately.

Shang Tingli said, "It's not that I don't have a nanny available, I just haven't brought one out yet."

Seeing that she had said this, Pan Yaying had no choice but to give up.

"But..." She seemed to have another idea in mind.

Shang Tingli asked with a smile: "But what?"

Pan Yaying said in a motherly manner, "There are only two big maids in the house, and I'm afraid they can't serve Sister Ting well. I have two smart and clever maids here, why not let Sister Ting take them back?"

Shang Tingli's mouth curled up slowly. It turned out that the highlight was here. This was Pan's real purpose. No wonder some people couldn't help but gloat over their misfortune.

Yu Lanxi was naturally happy to be able to cause trouble for her.

She said nothing, just lowered her head and sipped her tea.

"Alas, my listening cousin is lucky. I had wanted to ask my mother to bring those two maids back to me." Yu Lanxi pretended to lament, but her shrewd eyes clearly showed undisguised mockery.

She was watching the joke.

Shang Tingli raised his head and looked at him, with a hint of smile in his eyes that made it hard to tell whether it was real or fake.

She said, "From the tone of my cousin's voice, does my aunt disagree?"

Yu Lanxi nodded and sighed, "Yes, mother said, I am only the wife of a fifth-rank general now, what would it look like to have a room full of servants? Be careful of outsiders interfering with my husband's family." She smiled and said, "But it's different, cousin. You are the Crown Prince's Consort, so it's normal for two more clan wives to serve you."

Shang Tingli just smiled and said nothing.

Pan Yaying said: "Listen, sister, my two girls are not bad looking. If the prince sees them, seeing them every day..."

"The prince will be attracted to her when he sees her, right?" Shang Tingli said calmly.

Pan Yaying's expression changed slightly, and the smile on her lips froze slightly. The next moment, she put on a kind smile again: "Of course not!"

Shang Tingli: “Really?”

Pan Yaying paused, then said nonchalantly: "This is because the prince has seen the beauty every day, and he must have a certain immunity, so he will not be interested in wild flowers outside in the future."

Shang Tingli curved his eyebrows and said, "Aunt, do you think I'm not as pretty as your two girls?"

"...I heard that my sister is very beautiful." Pan Yaying almost didn't respond to her words. Her heart sank slightly. This little girl was really good at talking.

She adjusted herself a little and then said, "How does that girl compare to Ting Jie'er?"

Shang Tingli said: "If that's the case, I am enough. Why do you need others to dazzle the prince?"

Pan Yaying frowned and disagreed as an experienced person: "That's not the way to say it. Some villains can do things that you can't do. If you are careless, there is no guarantee that the prince will not be seduced by the villain. It's hard to control the wild flowers outside without knowing their origins, but I know the origins of the potted flowers in front of me. Listen to what you say, isn't it?"
