May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

Before arriving, Wen Yuanshu had already heard Lu Chengyuan tell her most or least about this Miss Shui. At this moment, she did not join in the discussion with others, but she could not help but curiously look at Shui Yingrong a few times.

However, those few glances got him into trouble.

Seemingly sensing Wen Yuanshu's attention, Shui Yingrong became exceptionally enthusiastic, her eyes practically glued to Wen Yuanshu.

So, Wen Yuanshu, who was originally looking her over, now felt uncomfortable being stared at, and even turned her head away and whispered, "Is there something on my face?"

Lu Chengyuan's gaze fell on Wen Yuanshu's face, and he blinked: "Yes."

Wen Yuanshu immediately tensed up: "What is it?"

"Beauty".

"..."

Wen Yuanshu, disregarding the fact that they were at a banquet, couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Lu Chengyuan chuckled softly: "There's nothing there, it's perfectly clean."

It was only because of her stunning beauty that Shui Yingrong kept staring at her.

As soon as Lu Chengyuan finished speaking, the once lively banquet suddenly fell silent.

Wen Yuanshu turned her head to look, her eyebrows twitching.

It turned out that it was King Wei and Queen Wei who had come.

Princess Wei changed her clothes, but her hair was still a little wet, and she still looked somewhat disheveled.

However, Wen Yuanshu didn't think anything of it.

After all, if she hadn't been on guard, she would be the one in this mess now.

Princess Wei's murderous gaze fell directly on Wen Yuanshu. If Prince Wei hadn't been pulling her forward, she probably would have glared a hole through Wen Yuanshu.

Wen Yuanshu leaned back, resting right on Lu Chengyuan's arm: "What should I do? She's so fierce."

Lu Chengyuan chuckled: "Yeah, what should we do? I'm scared too."

Although Lu Chengyuan spoke softly, his voice still sounded particularly abrupt in the quiet surroundings.

Those who heard this couldn't help but grit their teeth.

They thought they were already used to the Embroidered-Robe Commander's two-faced behavior, but it turns out they still didn't know enough about him.

He would say anything to please his wife.

Everyone else knew that Lu Chengyuan was doing this on purpose, but Shui Yingrong didn't.

She hadn't been in Jiangnan for long and didn't know much about the people in the capital. When she heard Lu Chengyuan's words, she almost rolled her eyes to the sky.

Is he scared already? Is he even a man?

Let's see what she does!

Shui Yingrong's gaze fell on Princess Wei, and she said with a smile, "Princess, why did you come out without getting ready? Look, your hair is still wet. Why don't you go back and fix it?"

Princess Wei had just sat down when she heard Shui Yingrong's words, and her face froze.

What does it mean?

They think she's not presentable enough and want to kick her out?!

To others, these words would naturally convey the same meaning.

For a moment, the way everyone looked at Shui Yingrong subtly changed.

She looks gentle, but she seems to be quite something in reality.

The King of Qin smiled obsequiously, his face almost splitting open: "Sister-in-law, Princess Consort, Miss Shui was only concerned about your health; she meant nothing else."

After the King of Qin finished speaking, he looked at Shui Yingrong and asked, "Is that right?"

The King of Qin forced these two words out from between his teeth.

Shui Yingrong nodded quickly: "Yes, I was just concerned about my sister-in-law, Princess Consort. I didn't mean to think you were being disrespectful. Please don't overthink it."

Upon hearing this, Princess Wei had no choice but to think that way.

The King of Qin glanced at the King of Wei, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his smile was almost gone: "Brother, Miss Shui... is young, that's not what I meant."

His elder brother is currently enjoying immense power and influence, and it's hard to say when he might become the Crown Prince. If he offends him, he won't have a good future.

King Wei smirked, "Speaking of which, we are like Sister Shui's brother and sister-in-law, so why would we blame her?"

The King of Qin smiled, but said nothing.

That's about all I have to say.

The feast finally began.

Needless to say, the feast included delicacies from land and sea, and there was also singing and dancing to add to the excitement. In terms of liveliness, it was no less impressive than a palace banquet.

Once the lively atmosphere started, everyone relaxed and began to act more like they were attending a banquet.

After the meal, no one was in a hurry to leave. Some strolled around the garden, while others chatted around Shui Yingrong. In short, no one left.

It was at this moment that Wen Yuanshu finally met Wen Qinglan.

During the meal earlier, she did glance at Wen Qinglan twice, but Wen Qinglan didn't look at her at all, as if she was avoiding her.

This time, the two cousins ​​saw each other from a distance. Wen Qinglan subconsciously turned away, but after taking two steps, she seemed to realize that her actions were too obvious, so she turned back and slowly walked up to Wen Yuanshu: "Cousin."

Wen Yuanshu had already taken note of her behavior, so she wasn't exactly warm towards her at the moment: "Mm."

After saying hello, Wen Yuanshu was about to leave when Wen Qinglan called her back.

Wen Qinglan took a deep breath and said, "Cousin, I know the Wen family is doing this for my own good."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanshu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Now that you know this, why are you treating the Wen family this way?

He probably hasn't finished speaking yet.

Sure enough, Wen Qinglan added, "But the Wen family's kindness to me is perhaps a bit presumptuous."

Wen Yuanshu was taken aback.

Wen Qinglan continued, "Cousin, he is, after all, my husband."

With just one sentence, Wen Yuanshu understood what she meant.

This is because the Wen family was cold to Yang Xun those two days.

“Yes, that’s your husband,” Wen Yuanshu said with a faint smile. “Husbands and wives shouldn’t hold grudges overnight. It was the Wen family that was interfering too much before.”

"I...I didn't mean that!" Wen Qinglan said anxiously.

She was clearly hoping that if the Wen family stood up for her next time, they could at least consider her feelings, not that they would abandon her completely!

She still needs the Wen family as her backing.

But when she met Wen Yuanshu's gaze, Wen Qinglan didn't know what to say.

Lu Chengyuan was not a patient man. He had already decided that Wen Qinglan was someone who could not be tamed, so he did not want to waste time on her: "Yuan Shu, let's go."

Wen Yuanshu nodded.

The couple would take a few steps forward, just as they were about to pass by Wen Qinglan, when Wen Qinglan would suddenly grab Wen Yuanshu's arm.

"Cousin, I did save you once, didn't I?"

Wen Yuanshu raised an eyebrow: "Of course."

Wen Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief, and when she spoke again, she spoke with much more confidence: "Cousin, could you go back and tell Auntie to prepare a generous gift and apologize to my mother-in-law?"
