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

After leaving the Marquis Yi Zhong’s Mansion, on the way back to Prince Ren’s Mansion.

Gan Tang couldn't help but complain, "It seems to me that Miss Lan Xi is going backwards. Listen to what she just said. Isn't she trying to embarrass you, the Crown Prince's Consort?"

Even Fang Zhi said, "Ms. Lan Xi has never had good intentions towards you. What kind of cousin is this? I don't know what kind of relative she is that can't stand you being well."

"She has always been like this. Why are you angry? You'll only make yourself worse."

Shang Tingli has long been accustomed to it.

Yu Lanxi, who was someone she followed, showed her full hostility from the first day she arrived at the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion. Life in her uncle's house was far from what she had imagined. But she was too young to escape from this disgusting mansion.

As far as she could remember, her father was indeed an orphan. She had never met any of his relatives, because her grandfather and grandmother died when her father was young. Her father had long ago severed ties with those relatives who had wiped out their families, so there was no such thing as visiting relatives.

But she originally thought that her mother was in a similar situation to her father, but she didn't know that she actually had an uncle, and her uncle's family was a wealthy and prominent family in the capital.

She always felt that there were some unspeakable secrets in her parents' past.

When Shang Tingli looked up, he saw that the two girls still looked unhappy, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't think about these unhappy things. Let's go out for a walk and have some fun."

The two girls immediately smiled happily.

……

The breeze blows gently and the house is filled with the fragrance of tea.

"You sent someone here yesterday, saying that the fourth brother wanted to win over Bai Shengcheng?"

Ke Yu brought the teacup to his lips, blew on it twice, and then savored it carefully.

"Perhaps he has succeeded in winning him over?" Ke Xin raised the corner of his mouth slightly. "My people saw him and Miss Bai seeing each other at Chunchibin. If it hadn't been done, why would he take this risk?"

Ke Yu smiled and said, "You are quite right."

Ke Xin served tea.

"Since the first time you asked me out here, you've reminded me of four things."

Ke Yu glanced at him without any emotion, his tone calm and gentle.

Ke Xin nodded and said "hmm".

Ke Yu laughed, took a sip of tea, and continued, "I know that you surrendered to Lao Si at the beginning. So, why did you betray him?"

He asked this question without emotion, and there was a hint of coldness in his voice.

Ke Xin met his inquiring gaze openly, smiled nonchalantly and said, "Brother Yun Yan, are you afraid that I am two-faced when you ask this?"

Ke Yu said: "Not really."

"what is that?"

Ke Xin got straight to the point and said, "Let me be honest with Brother Yun Yan. I was indeed more optimistic about Brother Ji Hua at the beginning, if for no other reason than that he gave me the impression that he was not the kind of person who would abandon the donkey after it has done its work."

At this point, he smiled bitterly.

It's not that he doesn't know how to kill the donkey after it's done. He wants the cow to work but doesn't give it grass to eat. He even starts planning how to kill the donkey before he finishes the work. This kind of beast only surrendered because he was blind at the beginning.

"That's a pretty high evaluation." Ke Yu shook his head and laughed.

Ke Xin also laughed: "But young people are always a bit naive. I have seen through his true colors now. It is still possible to save him. Fortunately, I am not naive to the end."

He picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea had a delicate fragrance and a refreshing taste that lasted for a long time, soothing his soul for a moment.

Fortunately, I can start over.

Ke Yu raised his lips: "Xingchen, aren't you afraid that I'm the second Fourth Brother? Maybe everything I'm doing now is just using you?"

After hearing this, Ke Xin put down his teacup and said nonchalantly, "If that's the case, I'll just accept my fate."

"Accept your fate? Xingchen doesn't seem like someone who would accept his fate."

"Brother Yun Yan doesn't seem like the kind of person who would encourage a child to develop bad habits."

The two couldn't help but smile at each other.

Ke Yu raised a fist towards him and said, "I hope I won't let Xingchen down."

"I will do my best to serve Brother Yun Yan." Ke Xin clenched his fist and connected it with him.

……

In the evening, the rosy glow was everywhere, reflecting the red light of the decorated plaque on the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion.

Yu Lingling looked at the room full of red with indifference, her heart was numb. After all, she would still marry such a man.

Maids came and went in her boudoir, sometimes covering the table with a red shawl, sometimes covering the chairs with red shawls.

She stared at the red tent in a daze.

After a while, Yu Lingling moved her head, turned her head to look at the maid waiting beside her, and called out, "Xiao Qin."

The maid named Xiaoqin stammered for a moment, then quickly responded, "Miss, I'm here."

Xiaoqin was the maid who applied medicine to Yu Lingling last time.

Yu Lingling said, "Go and do something for me outside the house."

Xiaoqin looked embarrassed and said hesitantly, "Miss, Madam has ordered us not to go out today."

"is it?"

It was a normal tone, but Xiaoqin still shuddered. She said timidly, "Yes, Miss."

Yu Lingling smiled and said, "I remember your mother seemed to be working in my aunt's courtyard?"

Xiaoqin froze in place, feeling a chill on her back.

Her mistress had never been a kind person. On the contrary, she was extremely bad and could even be described as cruel.

The young lady was not as kind as she appeared to be. She always beat or scolded the servants in private. The personal maids suffered even more. There was almost no good flesh on their bodies. They were covered with a lot of scars that were so ugly that they could not be shown to others. They were both ugly and scary.

She understood what the young lady meant.

If she couldn't find an opportunity to go out and work for the young lady today, her mother would probably be in trouble.

Xiaoqin gritted her teeth, knelt down neatly with a "thump", and kowtowed, "Please give me your orders, young lady..."

Yu Lingling smiled with satisfaction.

……

The next morning.

Shang Tingli took the two maids out and went to the residence of Marquis Yi Zhong.

When Yu Jing went to add makeup to Yu Lingling yesterday, she said that she hoped she could come home earlier so that she could support Yu Lingling.

She thought that it would be okay to save face if it could make some people angry.

Ke Xin did not go with her. He said he would go to the banquet later, when the banquet was about to start.

Shang Tingli naturally had no objection.

The carriage of Prince Ren's Mansion stopped outside the gate of Marquis Yi Zhong's Mansion. Shang Tingli got off the carriage and looked at the newly decorated gate with red decorations, feeling indescribable.

Perhaps knowing that she would come earlier, Yu Jing once again led the whole family out to greet her.

Shang Tingli knew that it was not her who was being welcomed. It was just a pity that her uncle was destined to be disappointed.

She walked up to Yu Jing, and he was still looking behind her.

Shang Tingli couldn't help but laugh: "Uncle, the prince has something to do, so he will come over for dinner later."

The smile on Yu Jing's face really faded a lot, and he nodded coldly: "Then I'll go see your cousin Lingling first. Your cousin Lanxi is here too."

Shang Tingli nodded: "OK."

Yu Jing did not walk away this time. There were many people around today, and if someone saw him, he would probably be accused of disrespecting the royal family.

Only after Shang Tingli was welcomed into the courtyard did he find an excuse to go to the study.

"Listen, sister, follow me."

Pan Yaying brought the person to the main hall.

After drinking the tea poured by the servant of the Marquis Yi Zhong's mansion, Shang Tingli looked at Pan Yaying with a smile and said, "I wonder what personal words my aunt wants to tell me?"

Pan Yaying looked at her with a sullen face: "Listen, sister, last time your aunt said she would give you two smart girls, did you tell the princess everything?"

Shang Tingli was slightly stunned.

She remembered that she had not told her mother at the time, after all, this was a serious matter. But judging from the tone of her aunt, was she coming to settle the score later or something?

Pan Yaying scolded, "Sister, what you are doing is not kind. Aren't you going to harm your uncle's family?"

Shang Tingli couldn't bear the blame, so she said, "Aunt, you are the most kind, but you dare to insert someone into the prince's room during the mourning period. If we talk about kindness, then I am naturally not as good as you."

She pointed to the sky, then to the ground, and said meaningfully, "Aunt, if you don't want others to know, then you better not do it yourself."

Pan Yaying frowned: "Didn't I tell you at that time? I told you to take it back and serve you."

Shang Tingli said: "I also said that I don't need it."

"..."

The two looked at each other, neither willing to give in. The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a moment, and the big red "囍" character didn't seem as festive as it had just been.

Pan Yaying looked away and said indifferently, "Listen, sister, you need to remember that if we prosper together, we all prosper, and if we suffer together, we all suffer."

"Yes, aunt."

Shang Tingli stood up.

"But I think I should say this to you."

Pan Yaying glared at her: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Shang Tingli smiled but did not answer, saying, "Today is my cousin Lingling's big day, I should go and congratulate her."

She turned and left the main hall.

"Ah--"

Pan Yaying smiled coldly: "No wonder Sister Lan is always so impatient, this damn girl is quite capable."

"Madam, calm down. She is just a little girl." The nanny behind her comforted her, "Miss cousin is so flamboyant. Sooner or later, someone will teach her some sense. Don't get yourself angry."

……

Shang Tingli naturally didn't know that he had made Pan Yaying very angry. If he knew, he would only feel happy.

She went straight to Yu Lingling's yard.

She happened to meet Yu Lanxi on the way. Yu Lanxi wanted to say something to her, but she ignored her, which successfully made Yu Lanxi angry.

In just half a cup of tea, she had made the mother and daughter so angry that they were jumping for feet.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Shang Tingli entered Yu Lingling's yard.

"Why are you here so early, cousin?" Yu Lingling felt unhappy when she saw her.

Shang Tingli sat down casually and looked her over. Her eyebrows were lightly painted, her lips were slightly pink, her cheeks were rouge-stained with a charming blush, and her forehead was painted with lily of the valley. The bride was wearing a bright red wedding dress, which was undoubtedly beautiful.

"Today is a good day for cousin Lingling, how could I not come earlier?"

Yu Lingling: “…”

"Actually, I have something I want to ask my cousin."

Yu Lingling frowned slightly: "Cousin, please feel free to speak."

"Then I'll tell you."

Shang Tingli stared at her and said, "Cousin, you seem to be quite dissatisfied with me for not saving you?"

Yu Lingling was shocked: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Teng.Zi.Zhi."

Shang Tingli paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "I wonder what position my cousin is going to make room for me?"
