Time Travel: Remarrying a Little Wolf Dog

Chapter 41 Zhao Wan's Stepdaughter

"It's so hot today, why are you here?"

Su Yan raised the teapot in her hand and showed it to her, "I made some new orange juice, and I want you to try it too."

Zhao Wan was puzzled: "Orange juice?"

Su Yan: "You'll know after you try it. Ask someone to bring a teacup and drink from that. By the way, do you have any ice? It tastes better with ice."

Zhao Wan stopped asking questions after hearing what she said and just answered, "There is ice."

As he said this, he ordered the maid Hongxiu to get a new set of teacups, and asked someone to chisel some ice.

Then he called the maid: "Go to the kitchen to get some fresh snacks and fruits and put them on the waterside pavilion."

He led Su Yan to the water pavilion, followed by several maids, some holding fans, some carrying teapots, and some even carried the ice basin in the house and followed them.

Su Yan didn't expect that drinking orange juice would require such a big fuss. She couldn't help but sigh that the ancient people were very sentimental.

Hongxiu was very skillful and quickly retrieved the teacup. The deep blue landscape pattern on it looked very beautiful.

At this time, the ice was also taken back, and she carefully poured the orange juice from the teapot into the teacup according to Su Yan's request, and put some crushed ice in it with chopsticks.

Then it was brought to Su Yan and He An.

Various snacks and fruits were placed on the stone table, with an ice basin at the feet. A little maid was fanning herself beside them. The breeze blew across the water, moving the willow branches outside the pavilion, and the rockery and flowing water in the distance came into view.

Su Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip, feeling refreshed.

Take another bite of the cut watermelon, wow, it’s so sweet!

With food, drinks, company, mountains, water and beautiful views, Su Yan couldn't help but sigh that the life of the rich was too corrupt.

But she also wanted to be corrupt, and Su Yan shed wide noodles tears in her heart, but the money in her pocket did not allow it.

Thinking of this, Su Yan took a big gulp of a glass of iced orange juice. It was okay to have a taste of her good sister's juice occasionally.

The two were leisurely enjoying the tranquility of summer here when suddenly a scolding voice came from the shore.

Su Yan looked over there in confusion. It seemed that a little girl was arguing with a maid.

The little girl was furious. She completely ignored the maid's attempts to stop her, shouted something loudly, pushed everyone away, and ran straight towards the pavilion.

Su Yan didn't know what was going on, and was a little confused looking at the angry little girl.

Hong Xiu quickly stepped forward to stop the little girl, "Miss Ying, what happened?"

Oh, it turned out to be Zhao Wan's stepdaughter He Ying. It was rumored that she was well-educated and well-mannered, but how come she didn't look like that at all?

Su Yan was right about what He Ying had given her. She pushed Hong Xiu away and rushed to Zhao Wan in anger, asking, "Did you take Master Xun away on purpose? My grandmother had brought him back with great difficulty for Hui Ge'er. Why are you so vicious? You just can't stand me and Hui Ge'er getting along. No wonder my grandmother said that no stepmother is good."

Su Yan was shocked. What was this? How could a stepdaughter speak to her stepmother like this?

Zhao Wan, on the other hand, was very calm, as if she was used to it, and answered slowly, "Master Xun was teaching Hui in the front yard. I was in the back yard the whole time and never saw him. How could I have driven him away?"

He Ying looked unconvinced, "Who knows what means you used, otherwise why would Master Xun leave?"

Zhao Wan: "It would be better for you to ask Hui Ge'er. Even I have heard in the inner courtyard that Hui Ge'er has been very naughty these past two days and deliberately made fun of Master Xun. No one should know better than him how Master Xun left, right?"

He Ying defended: "Brother Hui is still young and doesn't know anything. He just played with Master Xun. Why would Master Xun care about this with a kid like him? I heard that your grandmother asked you to settle the bondage for Master Xun before, but you refused. Did Master Xun know about this and get angry because of this, so he refused to teach Brother Hui?"

Su Yan was so angry listening to this. What kind of brat was this? On one hand, he cursed the stepmother, and on the other hand, he wanted her to spend money on them. Did he think she was just a fool?

Zhao Wan's tone didn't change at all: "My mother-in-law doesn't allow me to interfere in Hui'er's affairs. I listen to her, so naturally I can't interfere in anything about Master Xun."

He Ying jumped up and pointed at Zhao Wan's nose, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You can't have a child yourself, and you are afraid that Hui Ge'er will become a big deal and block your way. Let me tell you, Hui Ge'er is the eldest son of our family. He can't be compared to any random child. I advise some people to give up this idea as soon as possible."

Is this girl crazy? Can she convict someone based on random guesses? And she has such a foul mouth.

Zhao Wan took a sip of tea slowly. "You can talk to your mother-in-law and husband about this. I am young and have not experienced anything. They have always been the ones who worry about Hui'er's affairs. I have nothing to say."

Seeing her nonchalant look, He Ying felt even more angry that she had no place to vent.

He glared at Zhao Wan fiercely and ran away in a rage.

Su Yan saw that she came and went in a hurry, as if she came here just to get angry.

At this time, Hongxiu stepped forward worriedly and said to Zhao Wan, "The eldest lady went to the old lady's yard."

She spoke up for her own daughter. The eldest young master's mischief had driven Master Xun away. What did that have to do with her daughter?

The old lady disliked her daughter, and her son-in-law didn't help her. Even her step-sons and step-daughters didn't take her daughter seriously.

He got himself into trouble, and instead of thinking about how to make amends, he put the blame on the girl first.

What happened today is not even groundless, but since the eldest lady has made such a fuss, the old lady will definitely not stand on the girl's side.

Knowing that it was the eldest young master who angered Master Xun and left, he might end up blaming the girl.

If the son-in-law knew about this, he might blame the eldest lady and the eldest son, but there was no way he could get past the old lady.

In the end, the eldest son's reputation was spotless, but her daughter became a vicious stepmother and was laughed at by outsiders.

I think her daughter was pampered in her parents' home. At that time, the master and the mistress were really holding her in their mouths for fear that she would melt, and they wanted the stars but not the moon. She didn't expect that she would suffer such injustice after getting married.

Su Yan was furious when he heard this. He had thought that this girl was weird just now, and it seemed like she came here simply to vent her anger.

Unexpectedly, the other party was not just angry, but had a trick up his sleeve. He was just warming up here and then going to find Grandma He Qi to put the blame on Zhao Wan.

She slammed the table. "She is a junior and she is yelling in front of the elders. Does she think she is right?"

Hong Xiu said to Su Yan with a bitter face, "The old lady always listens to the eldest lady. The eldest lady is determined to pick the eldest young master out and throw the dirty water that angered Master Xun away on the young lady. Even if the old lady knows that this is not the case, she will not stand on the young lady's side."

Su Yan really gained some new knowledge. "Where's Uncle Jiu? He's a grown man, he should be able to tell right from wrong, right? Call him back."

Hongxiu felt even more miserable. "So what if the son-in-law comes back? Can he still disobey his mother for the sake of the girl?"
