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

Perhaps she knew that the few people who stayed behind only stayed because of past friendship, and most of them were no longer here. At this point, Mrs. Zhou was no longer in the mood to socialize, so she sent them all back.

"mother--"

Zhou Jingyu shouted palely.

Mrs. Zhou's face didn't look good either.

Who could have known that the mediocre painter mentioned by the Yu family actually knew this? Could it be that the Yu family deliberately deceived the mother and daughter?

As she thought about it, she became more suspicious and couldn't help asking, "Jingyu, are you really close friends with Miss Yu? Will she really not harm you?"

Zhou Jingyu nodded repeatedly: "I'm afraid Lan Xi didn't expect what happened today!"

She was so hateful!

Madam Zhou narrowed her eyes and said, "It is indeed that man's offspring, just as treacherous and cunning!"

Zhou Jingyu was confused and didn't know: "Mom, what is that person?"

"Don't worry about this." Mrs. Zhou shook her head.

Zhou Jingyu bit her lower lip: "What happened today..."

Madam Zhou's expression became uglier and uglier. "Now that the Princess of Ren has spoken out, this matter will most likely get blown out of proportion. We need to think about how to calm your father down."

Zhou Jingyu remained silent.

She clenched her fists, lowered her eyes to look at the pearl on the embroidered shoe surface, and felt a lump in her stomach, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

She knew that if her father knew what she had done today, he would definitely give her a lesson and ground her. And the person who caused all this and caused her to end up like this -

Shang Tingli...

We're not done yet.

……

Even after leaving Zhou's residence and getting on the carriage back home, Yu Lanxi still couldn't accept what happened today.

She couldn't help but screamed, "How is it possible?"

Pan Yaying glanced at her and said, "How many times have I told you to be calm? Be calm, be calm. Why can't you remember it every time?"

Yu Lanxi was feeling very annoyed and said to herself, "How can she paint? She used to hand in blank paintings!"

Pan Yaying frowned: "You also said that was in the past. So many years have passed, and she is used to pretending. How dare you still judge by appearances?"

At this point, she couldn't help but stare at her daughter, frowning and saying, "I'm beginning to doubt whether your original choice was right or wrong."

She was also gradually regretting now, wondering if she should have let her daughter go her own way. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Prince Ren's Mansion was much better than the small courtyard of the Ji family, thousands of times better.

Yu Lanxi suddenly looked up at Pan Yaying, with an expression of disbelief on her face, and exclaimed: "Mom——"

"How can you not believe me?"

"Tell me, how can I trust you?"

Yu Lanxi choked: "You saw it clearly, it was only a month, and I was already the wife of General Guidelang!"

Thinking back, in his previous life, Ji Zhang didn’t get promoted so quickly!

There was a "puff" sound from the side. Yu Lanxi turned her head and glared at the man: "What are you laughing at? What does it have to do with you!"

Yu Lingling smiled softly: "It's nothing, so I wish my sister success."

It’s just a pity that the orphan girl got away with it.

How can they live so well if she is not living well?

Pan Yaying glanced at Yu Lingling calmly, and seeing that she lowered her head tactfully, she said to Yu Lanxi, "But now three months have passed, how come he is still a Guide Langjiang?"

Yu Lanxi suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Soon it won't be."

……

"This is the tutor of the Minister of Rites! Pah—"

On the way back home, Wenhui was still very angry. She simply couldn't imagine that someone would dare to set a trap for their family right under her nose!

The more Wen Hui thought about it, the angrier she became: "If Minister Zhou can't give me a satisfactory solution, I think his career as Minister of Rites is coming to an end!"

Although she is just a woman in the rear house, it does not mean that she has no influence.

Impeachment, must be impeached!

I'll send someone to report the Zhou family tomorrow!

Shang Tingli stroked her fur, rubbed her back, and comforted her, "Don't be angry, mother. It's not worth getting yourself hurt by someone who has nothing to do with you."

Wen Hui held her hand and said, "Good girl, I'm sorry for making you suffer."

Shang Tingli suddenly felt a little sour in her nose for some reason. She thought that it might be because no elder had cared about her so much in all these years.

She smiled and shook her head: "No, I'm very powerful. They won't let me feel wronged."

[It's just a little secret plot, not enough to stump me. ]

It's funny to say.

When she was young, her mother actually never taught her about some of the secrets and family struggles, but what she taught her often came in handy at critical moments.

Now that I think about it, maybe my mother didn't want her to live in those dirty things, but she was also afraid that she wouldn't be able to protect herself when something happened, so she taught her in a roundabout way.

If it weren't for the great flood that year, I think...

Shang Tingli pressed his eyebrows and stopped thinking about the past. No matter what, those things were already in the past.

She couldn't get that time back.

I don’t know if her parents are as lucky as her to live again... I think it’s impossible, otherwise how could she not have parents to call her.

"Sister-in-law is amazing."

Shang Tingli looked over.

Ke Yichang said: "I didn't know there was such a magical thing that could make a painting blank and then make it colorful again."

Shang Tingli smiled and said, "It's just that I happened to have heard about this, so it can't be considered as a serious matter."

Wen Hui smiled and said, "Humility."

Ke Yichang looked curious: "What's going on? How did you do it?"

You know, she was very nervous at that time. She clearly saw her sister-in-law's painting, but in the end it turned into a blank painting. It was too scary.

Shang Tingli said, "I'll teach you after we have lunch."

"Okay." Ke Yishang agreed.

After returning home, Wenhui had the meal brought to the dining hall, where everyone had lunch.

After lunch, Shang Tingli followed Ke Yishang to Furong Courtyard. Knowing that she was going to teach Ke Yishang how to paint "blank paintings", Ke Nanjia and her sisters shamelessly followed her.

Shang Tingli taught them together.

It was already 3 p.m. when I returned to Xinyuan from Furongyuan.

As soon as I stepped into the yard, I saw a person sitting in front of a round stone table in the yard. It was Ke Xin who had left in the morning.

The tea in front of him was steaming, it must be the tea he had just brewed.

"came back?"

【Is not this nonsensical? 】

Ke Xin: “…”

Shang Tingli said "hmm" with a smile, then walked over, bowed, and sat down opposite him.

Ke Xin glanced at her quietly before saying, "I heard that you were offended at the Zhou family today?"

Shang Tingli paused while pouring tea, looked up at him with surprise in his eyes, and nodded casually.

[You've heard about it, has the news spread? ]

She suddenly remembered something and asked, "What did the Fourth Prince say?"

The question seemed abrupt, but Ke Xin raised his eyebrows calmly and pretended to be surprised, "What's this about Brother Guan Jihua?"

[Oh, this guy is pretending to be so serious. If I didn't know that you were the Fourth Prince's man, I would have believed you.]

Shang Tingli showed a sweet smile on his face, "The Zhou family is the Fourth Prince's uncle's family after all, but Madam Zhou indulged Miss Zhou San to treat me like this. I thought the Fourth Prince would have something to say."

She blinked and said, "I thought the Crown Prince had a good relationship with the Fourth Prince, so he must have heard something."

Ke Xin raised his chin and said, "How did you know that I have a good relationship with Brother Jihua?"

Shang Tingli was surprised: "Isn't it? I thought you got along well with the Second Prince and the Crown Prince, and when I heard you call the Fourth Prince 'Brother Jihua', I naturally thought so. It turns out that it's not true?"

[Bah, you're asking me whether you have a good relationship with the Fourth Prince? ]

[Do you still need me to see? You are all in cahoots. ]

"..."

Ke Xin had a complicated expression.

The next moment, he said, "You are right."

Of course, he didn't mean that what she said was right. He was no longer in cahoots with that bastard. He just hadn't found the right opportunity to confess to her, or rather, now was not the right time to confess.

Shang Tingli had no idea what he was thinking. He poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it in silence, feeling uneasy in his heart.

[Looking at the stupid prince's current state, I think he has already embarked on a path of no return. If we want him to turn back, something will have to happen to the Fourth Prince.]

[For example, a loss of reputation or something...]

These words were like enlightenment to him. Ke Xin lowered his head to sip his tea, his beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed.

She thought... as long as Ke Ming's reputation declined and he gradually lost his former might, he would choose another master? And he really needed such an opportunity - the opportunity to legitimately choose a new master.

I have to say, this is a good idea.

……

The next morning.

Since Wenhui had specifically told him yesterday that he didn't need to go over to pay his respects today, Shang Tingli slept in and didn't get up from bed until now.

Just as she came out from the inner room after dressing up, she saw Gan Tang walking towards her with light steps, the joy on his face was hard to ignore.

Shang Tingli asked, "What happy event happened?"

Gan Tangfu replied from behind: "It is indeed a happy event. Sister Bai Shao from the Princess's Court came just now to announce the good news. She said that Shangshu Zhou was impeached by several adults for failing to educate his daughter and disrespecting the prince's wife at the Zhou family's chrysanthemum viewing banquet yesterday. If it weren't for the Fourth Prince's plea, I'm afraid his position as Shangshu would be in vain."

She said in a lively tone: "Although he retained his position as the Minister of State, he was also fined one year's salary as a warning."

Shang Tingli smiled. She was not surprised by this result. With the Fourth Prince around, it was impossible for Minister Zhou to lose his position in a short period of time.

"I also heard that Minister Zhou was very angry about this. Miss Zhou San, who deliberately wanted to harm you, was confined by Minister Zhou for three months. It is said that she has to stay in the yard to copy the "Record of Female Fan Jie"!"

Gan Tang was extremely happy to see Zhou Jingyu end up like this, he just wished that this person could be even more miserable.

She deserved it for harboring evil intentions to harm their prince's wife.

"You've reaped the fruits of your own actions." Shang Tingli said calmly, and then ordered Gan Tang, "Prepare breakfast. I'm hungry."

"Yes!"

Gan Tang rushed out the door excitedly.
