He thought very simply.
His father-in-law is in an extremely embarrassing situation right now. As a son-in-law, if he wants to win his father-in-law's eyes, he has to learn how to help his father-in-law out of trouble.
"What's a joke?"
Shang Tingli said in confusion: "As a marquis, my uncle not only knows how to correct his mistakes, but also bends down to apologize to a junior. How can this be a joke? Isn't this a virtue?"
Ji Zhang was stunned.
Everyone in the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion was also stunned.
Yu Jing's eyes darkened.
This dead girl is as sharp-tongued as her dead mother. She can even make the dead appear alive.
Shang Tingli was admiring their colorful faces and just found it funny.
[Isn't it because I'm afraid of losing face? What a coincidence, this is exactly the effect I want. ]
After making sure she had finished speaking, Ke Xin broke the silence in this quiet atmosphere, with a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows and a look of disdain: "This... cousin-in-law? Whose thoughts are you trying to influence?"
"..."
Ji Zhang met those arrogant peach blossom eyes. He was wearing a wide-sleeved straight gown today, and his hands hidden under his sleeves clenched into fists subconsciously.
He had no choice but to humble himself and lower his eyelids to apologize: "I don't have such an idea, nor do I mean that. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
Ke Xin sneered: "How dare you stand up with such courage?"
"…It's my fault." Ji Zhang bowed and clasped his fists.
Ke Xin didn't even bother to give him a glance, he was completely arrogant.
Not sure if it was because she couldn't bear to see her husband being bullied, or because she couldn't bear to see someone else's husband standing up for someone else, Yu Lanxi pulled Ji Zhang behind her, took a step forward, and said to Ke Xin bluntly, "Is the prince being unreasonable? Do you think it's fun to embarrass my husband like this? He didn't say anything wrong, didn't he just want everyone to go inside and talk? Does the prince want to be watched by outsiders here, like watching a monkey perform?"
When these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Pan Yaying didn't even have time to react, she had already said everything.
However, it was not over yet. Yu Lanxi not only scolded Ke Xin, but also pointed at Shang Tingli and scolded him, "And you, you brought your powerful husband to my uncle's house to make him unhappy. Are you proud of it?"
"Not only did I say this, my father also said that he would apologize to you, but you really don't give any face to your relatives. You insist on asking my father to apologize to you in public. What's your intention?"
Pan Yaying and Ji Zhang held her back, and Yu Jing coughed to stop her, but to no avail. Yu Lanxi was still not satisfied: "Dad, you want to repair your relationship with her, but do you think she has this intention? She clearly just wants to humiliate you."
Ke Xin: “?”
Shang Tingli: “?”
The couple looked at each other, and finally, Ke Xin thought that this man was crazy, and Shang Tingli thought that this man was insane.
[Scolding the prince and his wife in public, is Yu Lanxi going to die? 】
[Is she rushing to keep Yu Lingling company? Why didn't I realize before that she and Yu Lingling have such a deep sisterly bond? ]
Ke Xin was frightened, fortunately his Crown Prince's wife was not that crazy woman named Yu.
Although the couple were shocked by Yu Lanxi's behavior, they were not angry. Their speechless expressions inexplicably gave people a sense of oppression.
Yu Jing closed his eyes, wishing he could fall asleep and never wake up again. When he opened his eyes again, he looked like a loving father who was disappointed with his child. He shouted at Yu Lanxi, "Evil girl, look at what nonsense you are talking about. Why don't you apologize to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess?"
Does this silly daughter think that their family is too prosperous?
He actually dared to scold the first-rank prince and his princess in public!
Yu Lanxi said stubbornly: "No, I didn't say anything wrong!"
She turned and rushed into the house.
Everyone in the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion was shocked by her actions, and no one could stop her.
Yu Jing gritted his teeth in regret and slapped his thigh, cursing at Yu Lanxi's back: "Evil girl——"
He was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe and couldn't even stand. Pan Yaying supported him with concern: "Master, are you okay?"
Yu Jing took advantage of the situation and fell into her arms, breathing heavily, and took this opportunity to give her a wink.
As a couple for many years, Pan Yaying immediately understood what Shang Tingli meant. She turned to Shang Tingli and said, "Tingjie, your uncle is so angry right now. Let's go into the house first, okay?"
She looked frightened and was very worried about her husband.
[…Here we go again. There’s no need to set up a New Year’s stage. It shouldn’t be a problem for the two of you to go up and perform a few plays.]
Shang Tingli was about to speak when someone pulled her behind him. His sturdy body blocked her view. She could only hear his voice: "It seems that Marquis Yu does not welcome me and the Crown Prince's Consort. We will not disturb you then."
Ke Xin pretended to pull Shang Tingli and was about to turn around and leave.
Unexpectedly, Yu Jing, who had been lying in his wife's arms in a rage, suddenly jumped up, came in front of them and blocked their way.
"Don't—"
Ke Xin and Shang Tingli looked at him in shock. Shang Tingli said, "Uncle, you are not..."
She turned her head and pointed behind her.
Obviously, she did not expect that they would leave without saying so, nor did she expect Yu Jing to be so "full of energy" all of a sudden. Pan Yaying's face turned pale and blue, which was very beautiful.
Yu Jing's face turned red with embarrassment. He laughed dryly and stammered, "Well, it's your aunt who is making a fuss. Uncle is fine."
Shang Tingli smiled and nodded.
[It's amazing. He looked half dead just now, but now he can jump over here in one stride. It's incredible. ]
Ke Xin clenched his fist, with the joint of his index finger pressed against his nasal septum. The corners of his mouth, which were covered by his fist, curved up, and he could hardly hold back his laughter.
The onlookers couldn't help laughing when they saw such an amusing scene, and the laughter continued.
If I don't go back to the house, I'm afraid I'll lose face. Yu Jing no longer hesitated and bowed to Shang Tingli: "Ting'er, I was sorry for you and misunderstood you a few days ago. I'm here to apologize to you now."
Shang Tingli accepted his greeting and then pretended to help him up, saying with a smile, "Uncle, you are really polite."
This uncle has always had his eyes set on the sky. Asking him to apologize to the younger generation would make him feel uncomfortable for the rest of his life.
She was quite satisfied with this and didn't make a fuss about it. Of course, this didn't mean that she had forgiven her uncle and was willing to reconcile with the Yu family.
Seeing that she was so easy to talk to, Yu Jing could still accept it and said, "Can we go into the house together now?"
"Uh-huh."
Shang Tingli nodded and said, "Of course."
[If I don't go inside, how can I embarrass Yu Lanxi? I must go in. ]
After knowing what she was planning, Ke Xin nodded proudly when Yu Jing looked over.
Yu Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, we were able to welcome people into the house.
After everyone entered the house, the doorman closed the vermilion door to block out the onlookers from outside.
As soon as he arrived at the main hall, Yu Jing immediately ordered the servants to go to Yu Lanxi's boudoir before she got married to get her.
Taking advantage of this gap, Yu Jing offered tea to Ke Xin and said, "I would like to apologize to the prince on behalf of my daughter who does not know etiquette. I hope the prince will not take it to heart."
Ke Xin did not drink the cup of tea he handed to him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly and his eyes were very cold.
"You don't have to do this, Lord Yu."
Yu Jing paused with the teacup in his hand, and a bad feeling came over him.
Ke Xin said nonchalantly: "I have always been fair to people and things. It is not Yu Hou's problem. I will not cause trouble for Yu Hou. You can rest assured about this."
Shang Tingli put down the teacup and laughed out loud in his heart.
[Doesn't this mean that it's Yu Lanxi's problem and we're only going to cause trouble for her? ]
Yu Jing: “…”
He couldn't say anything and could only smile.
"Prince." Ji Zhang shouted.
Ke Xin glanced at him: "What?"
Ji Zhang paused and said, "As Lan Xi's husband, husband and wife are one body. I don't know why I came..."
Ke Xin interrupted him: "Do you want to apologize on behalf of your wife?"
Ji Zhang: “Yes.”
Ke Xin laughed twice: "I thought I explained it clearly enough, but I didn't expect General Ji didn't understand it?"
There was always a tone of disdain in the way he called "General Ji".
Shang Tingli took a sip of tea leisurely without even blinking.
[Tsk, Biluochun, I'm willing to give it up. ]
She had never tasted such good tea in the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion before. Only the lowest quality mountain tea could be sent to her courtyard.
Shang Tingli casually added: "Cousin-in-law should learn more words, otherwise he will have a hard time getting ahead in the future."
The couple kept on bullying each other, making Ji Zhang dare not say anything but get angry. He said humbly, "What the Crown Princess said is right."
Pan Yaying watched Shang Tingli's smug behavior from the side, and she felt so angry that her teeth were about to break. She was so angry that she had no way to vent it on the surface, so she could only swallow her anger.
"Uncle said that everything before was just a misunderstanding?" Shang Tingli looked at Yu Jing.
[What on earth could have happened that made this uncle grit his teeth and call me back, and apologize to me despite his anger? ]
Ke Xin played with the teacup calmly.
Yu Jing said, "Yes, yes, it was all a misunderstanding before. Those rumors were all false. How could uncle say that Ting Jie'er is an ungrateful person?"
Shang Tingli smiled and said, "How did the rumor spread?"
Yu Jing responded calmly, "Oh, I'm sorry to say that I'm sorry, sister. That day, your aunt and I came back from Prince Ren's Mansion. I lamented that you were sick at a bad time, but somehow the doorman in front heard it. It was the doorman in front who spread the rumor, saying that he was speaking up for our mansion..."
He smiled at Shang Tingli and said, "What grievances have we suffered? Even if we have, it shouldn't be his turn to stand up for us. As for the doorman, I've already sent him away. Such a tactless person would only bring disaster if he's kept around."
Shang Tingli watched him perform quietly.
【Look, so well prepared. 】
After explaining what needed to be explained, Yu Jing also began to secretly review the account: "Sister, do you know who wrote the excerpt of the play sung in Fengting Tower?"
Shang Tingli did not shy away from the politeness and said frankly, "Why would uncle ask this? How did I know?"
Yu Jing smiled and said, "It's just a casual question, don't worry about it, sister."
Shang Tingli: "Okay."
About a cup of tea later, the servants brought Yu Lanxi over.
"Let me go!" Yu Lanxi was still struggling even though she had already reached the steps under the main hall. "I won't apologize to them. Why should I apologize?"
Yu Jing’s face darkened.
"Bring in the young lady!"
The servant brought Yu Lanxi into the main room and then left.
Yu Jing shouted at Yu Lanxi who was standing in the middle of the hall, "Evil girl, why don't you kneel down?"
"I—ah—"
Yu Lanxi wanted to argue, but someone kicked her in the knee, forcing her to kneel in front of Monk Ke Xin. The pain made her voice change and she cried out in pain.
The person who kicked her was Chang Di, who had noticed Ke Xin's gaze.
Pan Yaying felt a pang of pain in her heart. She twisted the handkerchief into a ball in her hand and turned her face away with heartache.
"Gantang." Ke Xin said.
"I'm here." Gan Tang stood out from behind Shang Tingli.
Ke Xin said expressionlessly: "Go, slap him in the face."
Gan Tang: “Yes!”
Shang Tingli was stunned watching from the side.
[Hiss, Gan Tang seems to be my man, right? How come Ke Xingchen can command me so easily? ]
Ke Xinxin said that someone was also very good at using Du Heng and Chang Di.
"Insult this prince four times and I'll slap him four times."
As he finished speaking, the sound of applause rang out.
"Snapped--"
There were four rings in total.
The people in the room just dared to watch this scene, and no one dared to say a word of pleading.
Ke Xin added: "If you insult the Crown Prince's Consort four times, you will be slapped four times."
Gan Tang raised his hand and slapped Yu Lanxi's face four more times.
Ke Xin: "If you dare to give this prince and his wife a cold shoulder, I will slap you ten times in the face."
Gan Tang: “Yes!”
Gan Tang slapped Yu Lanxi with all his might in each of the last ten slaps. Yu Lanxi's pretty face had swelled up like a pig's head, and her original appearance could no longer be seen.
Yu Lanxi covered her face and sobbed, crying "woooo woooo", no longer having the stubborn demeanor as before.
[Tsk tsk, the beating is really fierce, worthy of being my Gan Tang, too cute. ]
Shang Tingli admired Gan Tang's masterpiece with great pleasure. She had no interests or hobbies in the Marquis Yi Zhong's Mansion. The thing that attracted her most was Yu Lanxi's embarrassment.
Ke Xin: “…”Cute?
Okay, it’s confirmed, this guy’s eyesight is not very good.
"Prince, shall I let my evil daughter go down first? Otherwise her appearance will pollute your eyes." Yu Jing dared to speak at this time.
Ke Xin waved his hand indifferently.
Yu Jing asked Yu Lanxi's two maids to help the man down.
Shang Tingli looked at Yu Jing's behavior coldly and felt a chill in her heart. This was her uncle.
How could such a good mother have such a brother? Are siblings really that different?
He could be indifferent to Yu Lanxi, his own daughter, let alone his niece, whom he had never even looked at.
Shang Tingli said after careful consideration: "Uncle, now that our misunderstanding has been resolved, the prince and I will go back first?"
Ke Xin looked at her in surprise.
All the efforts are wasted just after entering the door?
She shook her head slightly at him.
【I think I have guessed the key to the problem. 】
