In the past two days since Nian Tu got married, they have been bored to death and felt suffocated. They have been holding on to a lot of bad intentions and were just waiting for this opportunity to vent them.

The two sisters couldn't wait to see the good show.

Father Nian sat motionless in the main seat, showing no signs of happiness. He showed no expectation of a family reunion, nor any intention of personally welcoming them. He waved his hand and told the servants to leave, "Got it, go down."

He waited for Nian Tu to come and meet him himself.

The Nian family's house is not big. There are only a few dozen steps from the gate to the main hall. The family waited for a long time, but Nian Tu still didn't come, which made them even more angry.

"Bam—!!"

Father Nian couldn't stand it any longer, so he raised his hand and slammed the table, almost breaking the teacups and vases on the table.

"If she doesn't want to return to this house, tell her to go back!"

"Okay, Master, don't be angry," Jiang advised softly, laughing secretly in her heart, "Maybe there is some special situation... Maybe she is not feeling well? Is it inconvenient to move?"

After all, Nian Tu married a disabled and violent man, and she herself was such a timid and unpleasant person, so being beaten was probably a common occurrence for her.

She had already prepared for Nian Tu to come back crying and complaining. And she could just brush it off by saying that the Nian family was no match for the Duke's Mansion, and that they could not go to the door to ask for an explanation.

By the way, they can also take the opportunity to publicize General Zong's atrocities. The reputation of the Duke's Mansion will definitely be damaged, and they can also ask for credit and reward from Prince Bao.

The more Jiang thought about it, the happier she became. She had already foreseen a prosperous future.

After hearing what she said, Father Nian also thought of the same thing as her. His eyes moved slightly and his expression became a little more relaxed.

It seems that Nian Tu is not completely useless.

While I was thinking, I suddenly heard many footsteps outside.

Hearing the sound, everyone subconsciously looked up, their eyes widened in shock.

sedan chair??

I saw several strong bearers carrying a luxurious sedan chair slowly walking towards the main hall. Each of them walked steadily and in unison, obviously well-trained and experienced.

They carefully got off the sedan at the door. A maid immediately caught up with them, diligently and skillfully lifted the curtain of the sedan, and helped the person inside to get off.

...Is he from the Zong family?

Nian Xianglun swallowed and looked at Jiang.

There has never been such a scene in the Nian family's courtyard. With such a grand ceremony, could it be that General Zong came in person? ?

Not only the four people from the Nian family, but even the servants of the Nian family became nervous and did not dare to breathe.

Amidst the silence, the person in the sedan finally stuck his head out and revealed his true face under the watchful eyes of everyone.

When they saw the familiar face, the tense atmosphere immediately relaxed, and some members of the Nian family even felt annoyed at being fooled.

"Nian Tu!"

Nian Xianglun shouted angrily and sneered, "You really put on a big show!"

"Why, do you think that just because you married into the Duke's Mansion and became a member of the Zong family, you can act arrogantly in front of us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Nian Tu to respond, the maid and several sedan bearers were the first to show angry expressions. They all raised their heads to look at Nian Xianglun, staring at him until he felt guilty and subconsciously shut his mouth.

After being frozen for a few seconds, he realized that they were just a few servants and there was nothing to be afraid of. But his momentum had already weakened and it was difficult to hold on.

Nian Miaozhu, on the other hand, was fearless and pointed his finger at Nian Tu, scolding him, “Did you hear that? Are you deaf? Why don’t you apologize to your father now?!”

On the side, Nian Miaolan looked at Nian Tu's expensive pearls and jade on her head and the equally valuable clothes on her body, and couldn't help feeling irritated and jealous.

After all, she married into the Duke's Mansion, so her food, clothing and daily expenses were different. Even she had never owned such good clothes and jewelry, but now they were worn by Nian Tu!

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that Nian Tu looked much better than before. Her already beautiful face was even more bright and beautiful. The gorgeous clothes and jewelry only served as a foil and embellishment on her, and could not overshadow her.

Not only her appearance, but even her entire aura has changed. She stood there gracefully, and even though she didn't say a word, she had lost her former weak temperament, giving people a subtle sense of strangeness.

Her eyes wandered over Nian Tu for a while, and Nian Miaolan couldn't help her jealousy. She said sarcastically, "On such an important day as Guining, you are wearing all white. I wonder if you are deliberately cursing someone..."

Before he finished speaking, a sneer suddenly rang out.

The air suddenly became quiet.

The wooden bearings made a slight creaking sound as Aaron pushed Zong Shouyuan's wheelchair. A master and a servant appeared from behind the sedan chair.

The moment he saw clearly who was coming, Nian Xianglun took a breath of cold air.

coming? !

Zong Shouyuan actually came in person!!!

He almost jumped up and rushed forward in two steps. The anger on his face disappeared like magic, and was replaced by a smile. "Why is General Zong here?"

"Oh?" Zong Shouyuan smiled, "Isn't today the day to return home? Did I remember it wrong?"

“Hahahaha,” Nian Xianglun laughed dryly, “You’re joking…”

On the third day of the wedding, the newlyweds should indeed return to the wife's parents' home together. But Zong Shouyuan didn't even show up on the wedding day, so why did he suddenly behave in accordance with the etiquette now?

It's impossible that Nian Tu had to coax him into giving in and being willing to accompany her.

Most likely, Zong Shouyuan was dissatisfied with him for marrying the worst daughter, and took this opportunity to ask him for an explanation.

Nian Xianglun wiped the sweat from his forehead.

What is coming cannot be avoided, fortunately he has come up with a countermeasure in the past two days.

While exchanging pleasantries, he welcomed Zong Shouyuan to the seat of honor and tried to offer his hand to help him in a flattering manner, but before he could touch even a hair, he was separated by Aaron and had to stand by and smile awkwardly.

With a status gap like theirs that was as huge as a chasm, he would never dare to act like an elder and show off in front of his son-in-law by relying on his status as father-in-law.

Originally, a few days ago, he had looked down on Zong Shouyuan because he injured his leg, but in the past two days, the Zong family only caused him some trouble, which made him anxious and helpless. He just realized deeply that it was as easy for the Zong family to crush him as to crush an ant. The ones who could compete with the Zong family were figures like Prince Bao, not unknown people like them.

Zong Shouyuan glanced at the upper seat that had been occupied by someone else, snorted and chuckled, then turned around and sat in another seat.

Even though he tasted the humiliation of being disdained, Nian's father dared not say a word, let alone sit back in the upper seat. He could only find another seat to sit down awkwardly.

Jiang sat in the vice-host seat, not knowing whether she should get up and move. The familiar seat in the past was like a fire on her butt, making her feel uneasy.

The atmosphere was awkward and subtle.

Both the father and the mother were obviously frustrated. Nian Miaolan and Nian Miaozhu were not completely unable to understand the atmosphere. They lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

But they really couldn't help their curiosity and glanced at Zong Shouyuan.

So this is what General Zong looks like...

He was indeed the handsome and extraordinary young man as the rumors said. Even when he was sitting there, he could not conceal his tall and majestic figure. He was different from the servants they had seen in the inner house before and the men they occasionally saw when they went out to play.

The two sisters were stunned for a moment, their hearts pounding, and they vaguely felt a little regretful.

If they had been the ones who had married him, they would be the ones enjoying the glory today, and it would not be Nian Tu's turn.

What's the harm to such a handsome man even if he has some leg problems? After all, there are servants to serve him, so they don't need to worry about it as masters. General Zong can no longer go to the battlefield, and the Duke's Mansion has endless wealth and splendor. They can be at ease as wives with luxurious clothes and food, and they don't even need to serve their parents-in-law.

How could they give such a good marriage to Nian Tu? !

I am so dizzy!!!

But...it's not too late if we can get the person now.

As daughters of the Nian family, they could easily replace Nian Tu and marry in. Or, even further, they could instigate General Zong to divorce Nian Tu and marry a new wife.

Wait until Nian Tu becomes a divorced woman, and see if she will still be so arrogant!

The two sisters were a little impatient and rushed to wink at Zong Shouyuan and send him a glance.

"……" Jiang was the first to notice her daughter's movements. She looked at her husband, opened her mouth, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Such behavior is too reckless and frivolous and really damages the image of an unmarried woman.

But today is a family dinner, there are no outsiders here, and no matter what happens, it will not be spread outside. If Miaolan and Miaozhu want to marry into the Duke's Mansion, they don't need to stop them, just follow their own wishes. Anyway, it was because they didn't want to marry that Nian Tu took over.

Nian Tu sat down next to Zong Shouyuan and was looking at his legs with concern, worried that he would feel uncomfortable with his leg injury during the long journey. She didn't notice that the two sisters not far away were plotting against her partner.

Zong Shouyuan was very alert, and keenly aware of the two overly hot gazes, he frowned coldly.

With him here, these two people dared to bully Nian Nian! Although they were quiet for the time being, their eyes were not honest. They winked at Nian Nian so blatantly, obviously they had no good intentions.

That year, the two old guys Xiang Lun and Jiang Heshi turned a blind eye and did not discipline them at all. They were truly a nest of snakes and rats, a family of bad seed.

"If you have any eye problems, Aaron happens to know some medical skills and can help take a look," Zong Shouyuan said in a cold voice.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Nian Tu looked up in confusion, not knowing what was going on and who he was talking about.

Aaron also looked dazed.

...Him, him?

When did he learn medical skills?

At best, he could only bandage some wounds. As for eye diseases, six out of seven orifices were unresponsive, and none of them were.

But he quickly came to his senses, understood what his master meant, locked onto the two targets, and took a half step forward, "If the two ladies don't mind, Aaron is willing to do his best to treat them."

He doesn't know how to cure diseases, but he has a lot of ways to torture people. Anyway, these two people don't have any diseases, and they will naturally be obedient when they feel pain.

He didn't know how to be gentle with women, he only did what his master told him to do. Besides, he didn't like these two women, they were vicious under their beautiful appearance, and they had bullied his wife for many years. He had no choice but to avenge his wife.

Upon hearing this, Nian Miaolan and Nian Miaozhu realized belatedly that Zong Shouyuan was talking about them. The expressions on their faces were exactly the same, very ugly.

Trying hard to flirt but getting eye disease due to a single sentence not only makes one feel powerless, as if flirting with a blind man, but also makes one feel angry and humiliated.

If someone else had said this, they would have cursed back, but facing someone they couldn't afford to offend, they didn't dare to be disrespectful and could only swallow their anger in silence, their faces turning red.

After waiting for a few seconds and not hearing any refusal, Aaron assumed that they agreed to the treatment and took a few steps forward.

"!!"

The two sisters were immediately panicked.

In extreme panic, they lost their usual eloquence and could not think of how to refuse for a moment.

You can't say they dislike it, right?

When beating a dog, you have to look at its owner first. This man is Zong Shouyuan's personal attendant and does things according to his orders. If they dislike him, it would undoubtedly be an insult to Zong Shouyuan, and they don't have the courage to do that.

At the critical moment, Jiang still spoke up and saved her daughter. "Thank you, General Zong, for your concern, but they have already seen a doctor and are taking medication. There may be a conflict between the two treatments, so let's forget about it this time."

Zong Shouyuan said that they had eye diseases, so she could only admit that her two daughters did have eye diseases. Although it sounded unpleasant, there was nothing she could do. Otherwise, she could not explain why they blinked frequently. What if Zong Shouyuan continued to ask questions, she could not point it out directly that they were trying to express their feelings with their eyes.

"Is that so?" Zong Shouyuan nodded, his tone indifferent, "If the medicine is not effective and you want to change the treatment, feel free to send someone to the Duke's Mansion to send a letter. I can send Aaron over."

If you dare to make eyes at Niannian again, don't blame him for being rude.

Even though they were angry and scared, Nian Miaolan and Nian Miaozhu had to bow their heads and thank them. They secretly clenched their fists under the table, almost breaking their nails.

Seeing their indignation that dared not speak out, Zong Shouyuan's expression was cold, as if it was not enough.

Before he showed up, he had heard all of these people's scolding and framing of Nian Nian, and every word made him furious.

He couldn't imagine what life was like in the past.

"Just now I vaguely heard someone scolding Madam for her extravagance and asking her to apologize?" He did not mention anyone by name, but raised his eyes and stared at Nian Xianglun, staring at him until he was sweating profusely.

“Uh, this…” Nian Xianglun was extremely embarrassed and had no way to deny it.

After all, he didn't know that Zong Shouyuan was there at the time, so his voice didn't subside at all and could be heard clearly inside and outside the house.

Nian Miaozhu, who pointed at Nian Tu's nose and asked him to apologize, lost all his arrogance. He lowered his head and did not dare to look up.

After a moment of awkward silence, Nian Xianglun organized his words and tried to argue, "It's all a misunderstanding. Our Nian family is just a humble household with a cramped courtyard. We have never had the habit of riding in sedan chairs. When we suddenly met today, it was inevitable..."

“So that’s how it is.” Before he could finish his argument, Zong Shouyuan raised his hand to interrupt him.
