The scumbag concubine is making trouble, and the villain's wife is rectifying the mansion

"Auntie?"

Huo Yudi explained, "It's the Duke's eldest daughter, Yan Juan! Your best friend back then."

Ever since my mother-in-law had no chance to get involved with the Duke's Mansion, she had less contact with them. In addition, Yan Juan suffered in the Lu family, so she divorced her husband in anger and went home!

She is the legitimate and confident aunt of the Duke's Mansion!

The first person to divorce her husband in Kyoto.

After hearing this, Su Yunzhu had some impression.

After not having any contact for many years, she almost forgot about this person. After she divorced her husband and returned home, she kept a low profile and devoted all her attention to her daughter.

In the memory of "Su Yunzhu", Yan Juan was on the list of candidates for choosing a husband and she hooked up with a scholar from the Lu family. A few years after their marriage, it was rumored that her husband had a mistress. Just when she and Yan Juan had just given birth to a one-month-old daughter, she couldn't stand it, so she turned the Lu family upside down and divorced her husband!

Just think about it, she is a very heroic woman.

Su Yunzhu suddenly thought that Qi Weizhen had been reminding her openly and secretly recently, and her niece Ji Qianqian had also asked her to do so, so she had to pretend to do so.

"We'll follow."

Soon, they walked behind Yan Juan, and she reacted immediately!

"You..." Yan Juan turned around, holding her daughter's hand, her face full of vigilance.

When she saw who was coming, her eyes became a little dazed.

"Aunt Yan." Su Yunzhu nodded with a smile on her face.

Huo Yudi bowed and saluted, being very polite.

Looking at the two of them, Yan Juan's face did not show much joy, and she said calmly, "Madam Hou, what do you want?"

Tomorrow is Yan Huaizhu’s birthday party. Su Yunzhu probably wants to rely on her to enter the Duke’s Mansion, right?

Yan Juan had long been smoothed over by life, and she had had little contact with Su Yunzhu for more than a decade. She often interacted with Xuan'er, but Yan Juan turned a deaf ear to them.

She never asked about Xuan'er's affairs.

She just wants to accompany and raise her daughter.

"Nothing, I just missed you after not seeing you for many years." Su Yunzhu said softly.

Yan Juan lowered her eyes and took a step back, bowing with her daughter, saying, "Thank you, Madam Hou, for your kindness. Goodbye."

Just as she was about to leave, Su Yunzhu stopped her.

"How are you these days? Does your daughter have a husband she likes?" Su Yunzhu said this and felt that she had said too much.

Huo Yudi was also stunned, thinking that it was wrong to interfere in other people's family affairs like this.

After all, Huo Yudi is only sixteen years old and Yan Juan's daughter is only fourteen, so it's time for them to look for a husband.

Yan Juan took a deep breath and said, "I'm still watching. If the Marquis's wife is interested, you can come to the Duke's Mansion and let me know."

She might as well just do as Su Yunzhu wished!

But Su Yunzhu didn't take the bait and smiled faintly, "No, I'm just concerned. The girl is still young, so it's okay for her to read some poetry and books."

Yan Juan was shocked after hearing this. Is this really the idea?

It seemed that she was worrying too much. Her face became panicked. "She is a girl. Why should she read poetry and books? If she becomes too popular in her husband's family in the future..."

Yan Juan stopped talking and couldn't continue.

"It's okay. That's why she can be as smart and courageous as her mother when encountering difficulties, and will not be bullied and kept in the dark by her husband's family." Su Yunzhu's words touched Yan Juan's heart.

From that year till now, Su Yunzhu has suffered a severe blow and is unable to interact with her close friends, and they are unable to comfort each other in their suffering!

Now, these words brought back the good old days for Yan Juan.

Her eyes moistened and she smiled helplessly, "Madam Hou is right. Wei'er and I are living a good life. I also let her read some poetry and books."

She can't protect her daughter forever, she hopes she can grow her own wings!

Su Yunzhu stepped forward and held her hand, saying, "It's all in the past. I came here to tell the Duke on my behalf that I wish the young master a successful entrance exam."

There seemed to be light in Yan Juan's eyes, and she looked at her steadily.

"Not coming tomorrow?"

Su Yunzhu nodded, "Yes, it's inconvenient to go."

Yan Juan panicked, "You can come, I'm here."

Su Yunzhu shook her head, "No need."

"Why?"

Huo Yudi explained, "The Duke's Mansion did not send a visiting card to our Marquis' Mansion, nor did it send an invitation."

"This..." Yan Juan was surprised.

You haven’t sent any for many years, so why aren’t you sending any this year? Can’t you come?

But seeing that Su Yunzhu looked calm, Yan Juan did not ask any more questions.

They exchanged a few more pleasantries and then parted ways. On the way, Yan Juan was still full of confusion!

Daughter Yan Wei shook her hand in surprise and asked, "Mother, what are you thinking about?"

Yan Juan responded, "Nothing, let's go back home."

A few servants followed them and came to the entrance of the alley, where a carriage took them back home.

Yan Juan was not in a hurry to tell Yan Xuan. She didn't talk much with her brother, and besides, this was his own business.

Yan Juan still believed that Su Yunzhu was just pretending and might come tomorrow!

There will be a family dinner at the Duke’s Mansion in the evening.

The atmosphere was heavy and depressing. The Duke broke the atmosphere with a smile, "Cheer up. Tomorrow is Zhu'er's birthday party. Are you ready?"

Zhang smiled and said, "Everything is ready."

Yan Xuan took a few bites of rice and was about to get up and leave when the Duke's wife called him, "Xuan'er, eat more."

"Has the invitation from the Marquis' Mansion been delivered?"

The Duke's wife suddenly asked, and it was obvious that she was trying to know whether Yan Xuan had done anything wrong!

Zhang replied, "No, don't worry, mother-in-law."

The Duke's wife nodded and said nothing more.

Yan Wei, who was eating at the side, blinked her eyes. She couldn’t understand all this. She had the lowest status in the family and she only had her mother!

Yan Juan often brought her food and caressed her tenderly.

Although Yan Huaizhu, who was sitting next to the main seat, had a high status, he was most afraid of his father Yan Xuan. As soon as his father left, Yan Huaizhu immediately poked the plate with his chopsticks!

The Duke's wife signaled to the servants with her eyes that she was going to teach him a lesson. Zhang was the first to grab the chopsticks and said to them with a smile, "Zhu'er must be full. I will take him back to the courtyard."

Zhang hurriedly took Yan Huaizhu away. If she had stayed any longer, they might have fallen out!

As soon as the mother and son left, the atmosphere became much quieter.

"Zhu'er is already sixteen years old. It's okay for a boy to be at this age, but Wei'er..." The Duke's wife hesitated and looked at Yan Juan.

Yan Juan said directly, "My daughter has her own arrangements, so there is no need for her mother to worry."

These words choked the Duke's wife, and she looked to the Duke for help.

The Duke said solemnly, "Wei'er is already fourteen years old, and will be married next year. She should choose a husband and get engaged early this year!"

Hearing this, Yan Juan angrily threw down her chopsticks and said coldly, "Father! I said, Wei'er is under my care!"

After saying that, Yan Juan handed a chicken leg to Yan Wei and took her away.

The dining hall suddenly became cold, leaving the Duke and his wife at a loss as to what to do!

Compared to the undercurrents in the Duke's Mansion, Ji Shifeng and Lin Ying'er in the backyard seemed quite comfortable!

When Ji Shifeng thought about what was going to happen at the Duke's Mansion tomorrow, he said to Lin Ying'er, "My mother will come to pick me up tomorrow. She will definitely be reluctant to leave the young master."

Lin Ying'er looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and just smiled.

I’m afraid things are not that simple!

There was a rustling noise at the gate, and they went to check.

"What is this for?" Ji Shifeng asked puzzled.
