The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 338 - 335: Here to Make Things Difficult for You

Chapter 338: Chapter 335: Here to Make Things Difficult for You

Outside the carriage, it was noisy. Inside, after Yu Tingwan said that sentence, she didn’t speak again.

She needed to conserve her energy!

Shen Zhiyi couldn’t hold back: "Duke Zhou Mansion invited quite a few people; this banquet is no small affair. I’ve heard Duke Zhou dotes heavily on his little granddaughter, visiting her as soon as morning court ends."

She sneered.

"Those unaware might think their house bore a son."

Yu Tingwan: ...

It is a son.

Just not a biological one.

And he’s been sent to the Imperial Palace; of course Duke Zhou would celebrate.

As for whether the affection is genuine or not,

Who knows if it’s real or fake.

Meanwhile, the front of Duke Zhou Mansion was bustling with visitors, with many carriages parked outside and various madams arriving with gifts.

The elegant and distinguished Duchess Zhou stood at the door to welcome the guests.

"In-law, congratulations."

Only to see Madam Chu speaking, quickly stepping off the carriage, with Chu Liulang following behind to pay respects to Duchess Zhou.

"Greetings, Aunt."

Duchess Zhou nodded at him, not particularly warm towards this playboy.

"So, Sixth Son is here too."

Madam Chu said, "The siblings have always been close, and now that they have a little niece, how could they not put everything down and come over?"

With that, she approached, smiling and taking Duchess Zhou’s hand: "My Ning’er is quite fortunate, getting married to such a son-in-law, and soon after having joy. With you, the mother-in-law, looking after her, the first pregnancy went so smoothly."

"She’s certainly capable of giving birth. In time, she’ll surely give Zhou Family several young lords."

Adding to the family with a child, even though it’s a girl, being the Zhou Family’s eldest daughter is indeed a cause for celebration.

Duchess Zhou also smiled.

"Ning’er has been eagerly waiting for you in-laws since early on, and now she’s still waiting inside."

She gave an instruction to the servant behind her.

"Quickly escort the in-laws and Sixth Son to meet her."

Continuing, she added: "So many ladies have come, I fear neglecting them. Go ask the young master to come out and greet the guests swiftly."

Madam Chu followed the servant inside.

But as they approached Chu Ning’s courtyard, she stopped and intentionally dismissed the servant.

"There are many guests today, and I fear we’re short-handed. We’re right up ahead; you can go, no need to escort further."

"Yes."

Once the person was far, not waiting for Madam Chu’s warning, Chu Liulang quickly assured her: "Mother, rest assured, inappropriate thoughts, your son will have no more!"

In the past, he might have still savored the days of pleasure with his own sister.

But now he’s been getting along well with Zhou Yurou.

Chu Liulang had never met a girl as flawless and beautiful as Zhou Yurou. He long forgot the past with Chu Ning.

"Just as long as you know."

"The mess from before, your father almost beat Ning’er to death and even threatened to break your legs."

"Now that Ning’er has a child and good prospects, everything is concealed. If you stir up trouble, there’d be no need for your father, I’d be the first not to forgive you!"

Saying this, Madam Chu’s eyes hid disdain.

What good is Duke Zhou Mansion’s splendor and wealth if they are still being monkeyed around by the Chu Family?

"Yes."

An hour later, Duke Shun Mansion’s carriage finally stopped outside Duke Zhou Mansion.

As Yu Tingwan poked her head out, Tan Jiang helped her to the ground.

She was very discreet, but everyone involved was shrewd. Recognizing Duke Shun Mansion’s carriage, they moved to greet, only to see the Princely Heir Zhou Xuan, with hospitality, get ahead of them.

"General’s wife, please come inside."

Zhou Xuan gestured invitingly, but it wasn’t very respectful.

He always thought himself clever.

No matter how formidable Wei Zhao was, he was short-lived; who knew how long he’d live?

He never took Wei Zhao seriously.

As for this Young Madam of the Wei Family,

So what if she’s the Grand Tutor’s daughter?

Have the Gu Family been visiting the Wei Family lately?

They’re probably not close.

Zhou Xuan’s eyes landed on the carriage, seeing not Wei Zhao, but Shen Zhiyi’s slight smile. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

He really thought the Wei Family didn’t show his family any respect.

"Why didn’t the General come?"

Zhou Xuan: "Is he unwell again? What a pity, I wanted to seek his wisdom."

Yu Tingwan squinted slightly.

She didn’t get angry.

After all, the more smug Zhou Xuan was now, the more embarrassed he would be later.

But someone was indeed getting angry!

"Zhou Xuan, who do you think you are? And who is Wei Zhao? What, is your daughter surnamed Ying? You expect him to come over and bow?"

"Seek wisdom? You should know what level you are at internally?"

Behind came the voice of Xiao Huaian.

Shen Zhiyi turned around to see Xiao Huaian coming on horseback, looking extremely carefree.

Once close, he jumped off the horse, threw the reins to a servant outside Duke Zhou Mansion, and walked briskly.

"The young madam coming is already giving you face."

Xiao Huaian: "I’m curious, just for having a daughter you wish the world knew? What’s there to show off?"

"Showing off you’re a real man who can ensure the family line continues?"

"But who can’t do that?"

Xiao Huaian: "Is that the only advantage you have from head to toe?"

Zhou Xuan: "You!"

Angrily: "Heir Xiao, what do you mean?"

"If you’re here to make my Zhou Family unhappy, please turn around and leave!"

"That’s not true."

"I clearly came specifically to upset you."

Xiao Huaian: "Who in Shangjing doesn’t know, I despise you, Zhou Xuan the most."

"But you sent an invitation."

Xiao Huaian: "My mother’s busy, and since I don’t have a wife, lacking suitable women at home, I had to come."

"Why, do you think the Xiao Family is giving no respect, and want my father to come?"

"Could be."

He turned to instruct a servant.

"Laide, my father’s meeting the Holy Emperor right now; stop him quickly. He’s old, without knowing restraint – what’s the Emperor compared to celebrating the Zhou daughter’s birth?"

This remark left Zhou Xuan’s face turning blue.

But with so many people watching, he had to bow his head.

"No, no."

"Heir Xiao, please don’t joke, important matters first for Marquis Xiao."

Xiao Huaian snorted.

"So you purposely pick soft targets."

"What, because the young madam is a newlywed, soft-skinned, and can’t confront you? Or thinking Wei Zhao is so ill, nearing death, that the Wei Family would soon fall, so you disregard the Young Madam of the Wei Family?"

Xiao Huaian thought Wei Zhao was really no good!

Wasn’t Wei Zhao known to protect his wife fiercely!

How could he let Yu Tingwan venture into this wolf’s den that is Duke Zhou Mansion!

She’s just a young lady, even if a Gu Family’s daughter, she still hasn’t seen the depths of human nature, and in Shangjing, how many are not wolves in sheep’s clothing! What if the young madam suffers grievances!

Shen Zhiyi: ???

Soft-skinned?

Shen Zhiyi turned to ask: "Is he talking about you?"

Yu Tingwan was not pleased: "Why wouldn’t it be me?"

Shen Zhiyi: ...

Zhou Xuan’s dark thoughts, Xiao Huaian insisted on exposing them.

The arriving guests all stopped, not sure how long they had listened, but no one dared to step forward to advise.

The entrance had yet to be entered by Yu Tingwan, and she had yet to exert herself, the atmosphere was already so intense.

Zhou Xuan’s smile froze, awkwardly chuckling: "What are you saying, how would I dare? I have nothing but utmost respect for General Wei and the young madam."

Not sure if Xiao Huaian believed it or not.

"Better be so!"
