On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

People say: No one cares about the poor in the city, but the rich in the mountains have distant relatives.

This makes a lot of sense.

Human nature is often like this. When you are not doing well, no one will treat you as a human being. Even if you live next door to him, he will not even look at you.

But if you are doing well and your family is rich, they can find you even if you hide at the ends of the earth, and then call you and ask you to come to the wedding.

There is nothing wrong with being realistic, but being too realistic will make people dislike you.

What exactly is going on with Qingwen?

It turned out that Qingwen was taking her children to play in the hot spring when she heard her maid say that her brother had arrived.

After not seeing each other for many years, the grudges would be eliminated a lot with time, and Qingwen actually went to see him.

......

The afternoon glow cast a golden red hue on the towering red gate of the Regent's Palace.

Four doormen dressed in the uniforms of the royal palace servants stood at attention with their hands hanging down, their eyes scanning the outside of the door vigilantly.

At this moment, several figures approached timidly but with a deliberate arrogance.

The leader was a young man wearing a brand new satin robe, but he couldn't hide his vulgar and vulgar air. Behind him were several of his friends, all of whom looked like scoundrels.

The young man was naturally Qingwen's younger brother, Huozhu. He walked to the gate and glanced at the simple clothes of the gatekeeper. A fake smile that pretended to be reserved but could not hide his contempt immediately appeared on his face. He puffed out his chest and said to the servant closest to him in a deliberately high-pitched tone, like a local rich man making a fortune:

"Hey! What the hell! Go! Go in and tell them that your Madam Qingwen's family has arrived! Tell them to come out and greet them quickly! Do you hear me? Hurry up!"

He even dusted off the non-existent dust on his robe, as if he were some big shot.

The servant looked him up and down with an expressionless face, then replied coldly, "Wait a moment."

Huozhu was choked by the other party's cold attitude, and felt a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to explode, the brother next to him quickly pulled his sleeve and whispered something to persuade him.

The Pillar of Fire then snorted in frustration, put his hands behind his back, and paced in front of the palace gate, his eyes greedily scanning the carved beams and painted buildings on the gatehouse, as well as the well-dressed servants who occasionally walked through the gate.

About half an incense stick later, the servant came out and said expressionlessly, "Follow me."

A bright candlelight illuminated the small side room of the flower hall.

Qingwen sat in a fine rosewood armchair, her slender fingers unconsciously stroking the smooth armrests.

She was wearing a casual lake blue embroidered skirt, her hair was combed meticulously and pinned with a red gold and ruby ​​pearl hairpin, her face expressionless.

The door curtain was lifted, and Huozhu and his family walked in, led by a servant.

As soon as they entered this gorgeous and warm flower hall decorated with antiques and porcelain, their eyes widened.

Huozhu's face instantly forced out a huge, flattering smile that was almost twisted. His waist was bent almost to the point of breaking. He trotted a few steps to Qingwen and said in a voice that was so sweet that it was sickening:

"Sister! My dear sister! My poor good sister! I miss you so much!" He opened his arms as if he wanted to hug you, but was nailed to the spot by Qingwen's cold and sharp eyes.

He put his hands down awkwardly, rubbing them together, his eyes greedily scanning over the brocade on Qingwen's body and the jewels on her hair. "After so many years, my parents and I have missed you so much! Alas...back then, there was nothing we could do! Our family was so poor, we couldn't even afford to eat! My parents couldn't bear it, so they let you go out and pursue your career! Look, sister! You've become a phoenix! You've become the most distinguished lady in the world's number one palace! My parents and I are so happy! We burn incense and kowtow to the Bodhisattva every day, praying that you will be rich and prosperous, and have a son soon!"

The scoundrels behind the pillar of fire also nodded and bowed quickly, smiling and agreeing in unison.

"Yes, yes, sister, do you still remember me? I am a big basket!"

"I'm Xiao Liuzi!"

"Sister, we used to eat wild vegetables together when we were little!"

The Pillar of Fire said, "You have achieved what you have today. Your parents, even in the underworld... oh no, back home, are happy for you too!"

As Huozhu spoke, he wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes and stole a glance at Qingwen's face. He saw that she was just looking at him expressionlessly. She neither asked them to sit down nor showed any sign of being moved. He felt a little uneasy and moved directly to the chair next to him.

"Sit down and talk." Qingwen finally spoke, her voice cold and clear, with an authority that brooked no room for questioning.

Huozhu felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly sat down on the chair.

His other friends also wanted to do it, but they heard Qingwen say, "Who are you guys? Get out."

"I..."

Huozhu waved his hand, signaling them to go out first.

After all, the money has not been received yet, and we can't make this tigress angry.

Everyone rushed out, and Huozhu finally put on a smile, rubbing his hands and leaning forward: "Sister, you are enjoying life now! But our family has suffered a lot. It's been a bad year, and we haven't harvested a single grain. A few days ago, a fire burned down half of our house! My parents and I haven't had a full meal in days! Your nephew is crying with hunger."

He tried hard to squeeze out a few tears, but none came out. He could only howl twice, but his eyes were fixed on Qingwen.

Qingwen tightened her fingers slightly on the armrest.

She had almost let it go, but after Huozhu came in, he didn't say a single word of sincerity and was full of false words.

This reminded her of the faces of her family members back then.

She watched her brother's exaggerated and clumsy performance, and the bitterness and hatred that had been buried in her heart for many years now grew like poison ivy.

She didn't look at the pillar of fire, but turned her head and said coldly to Hongyu, her personal maid standing beside her: "Hongyu."

Hongyu immediately understood, bowed and retreated.

Huo Zhu thought they were going to serve dinner, and a look of joy appeared on his face: "Sister! I knew you..."

Before she finished speaking, Hongyu quickly returned, holding a large bag of silver in both hands, and respectfully handed it to Qingwen.

Qingwen reached out to take it, then raised her arm, without even looking, and threw it accurately into Huozhu's arms with a "pa"!

The action was quick and decisive, with an extreme contempt and impatience to get rid of beggars.

Huozhu was stunned and quickly looked down at the package.

A rough count showed that it was no less than a hundred taels.

The joy on his face suddenly became a little stiff, his throat rolled up and down, and his greedy eyes wandered between Yinzi and Qingwen's indifferent face.

"Take this one hundred taels of silver, take your cronies and get out of the palace immediately. Don't let me see you again." Qingwen's voice was like ice, echoing clearly in the flower hall. There was no courtesy, no warmth, only orders.

After saying that, she turned slightly, picked up the cold teacup beside her and no longer looked at them.

The gesture clearly means - seeing the guests off!

Huozhu hugged Yin Zi, the smile on his face completely frozen, then faded visibly, transforming into the embarrassment and shame of being slapped in public. He stood up suddenly!

"One, one hundred taels?" His voice suddenly became sharp because of the rising voice and shame and anger. The flattery on his face disappeared, leaving only an angry face that pretended to be disdainful after being deeply humiliated.

"Sister! You're just giving your own brother a hundred taels? What can you do with a hundred taels? How many days can you last in the capital? How many houses can you buy? How many wives can you get? You'll spend it all in a few days! You're giving away a beggar!!"

He slammed the silver on the small Huanghuali table beside him with such force that the teacup on it trembled.

He had his hands on his hips, his face twisted in an expression that was a mixture of greed, resentment, and malice.

"Sister! You are now the concubine of the Regent Prince! Any money you slip through your fingers must be more than a hundred taels, right? There are so many big shops in the mansion! Take the carriage and horse business not far from our doorstep for example! Sister! Everyone in the capital doesn't know that you are in charge of that carriage and horse business? You make a fortune there every day! What's the point of giving us a little money through your fingers?!"

Huozhu became more and more excited as he spoke, not even glancing at Qingwen's already ashen face.

"I don't want this little bit of money! Sister! Please arrange a manager position for me in the carriage and horse business! I can earn a comfortable monthly salary! This way, our family can have a stable income in the future, and I will never bother you again! Is this request too much?!"

After saying this, he took a step closer, his tone full of a sense of right and wrong.

Qingwen's hand holding the teacup suddenly stopped!

She turned around slowly, extremely slowly, and her bright phoenix eyes seemed to be quenched with a thousand years of ice, and she locked her eyes on the greedy face of Huozhu.

An uncontrollable rage instantly enveloped the entire flower hall, and the temperature dropped sharply!

"Boy," she said, her voice forced through her teeth, filled with a chilling murderous aura, "Listen carefully. The carriage and horse business is the property of the palace! It belongs to the prince! It's not mine! I have no right to assign anyone else positions! You take this hundred taels, and now, immediately, get out of the palace gate! If you dare to set foot in the palace again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The last word fell like an ice hammer hitting the ground!

Huozhu was choked back a step by the undisguised murderous intent in Qingwen's eyes and the cold words she said.

But that little bit of greed and anger quickly overwhelmed his fear, especially since his companions were still outside and must have heard it. He felt humiliated!

"No mercy?! Hahaha!"
