Chapter 509: Dispelling Huo Family’s Doubts
Chapter 509: Dispelling Huo Family’s Doubts
"Second sister, your daughter is truly amazing. She is almost a living Bodhisattva."
Yun Qing said this in a sarcastic tone, feeling full of regret.
Originally, the emperor wanted her to marry the second son of the Ye family.
It was because she didn't like Ye Muyang that Yun Ran took advantage of him.
Although Yun Ran has lost her husband now, the Ye family treats her very well. She lives alone in the princess's mansion, and is honored by a host of people including her sons, daughters-in-law, nephews, and nieces' wives.
Now I have such a promising daughter.
I am so envious.
Then she thought about her own family. Although she was a princess, her husband had many concubines and she had a lot of illegitimate sons and daughters.
What's even more devastating is that the prince consort's family has no money, and they have to rely on her dowry to supplement their family's appearance.
When she got old, she thought she could enjoy her retirement, but the princess consort was never at peace, her son and daughter-in-law did not agree with her, and no one in the family listened to her.
It obviously shouldn't be like this.
When her second sister was exiled with the Ye family, she used to gloat over their misfortune, but now she can only feel jealous.
It wasn't that she had any bad thoughts about her second sister, she just felt jealous and wanted to annoy her second sister, so she brought Li Jiaorong here.
Who would have known that the eldest daughter-in-law from the countryside would be so generous and polite, and pass it by so easily.
Instead, it made her very angry.
She is just looking for trouble.
Yun Ran didn't want to pay attention to this third sister. Although they hadn't seen each other for so many years, her temper was still the same.
He is narrow-minded and is jealous of others' good life.
But I don't have the courage to say there's anything vicious about it, I just want to talk.
This is because I am not living a satisfactory life and I am angry.
She was too lazy to care about it, because the third sister couldn't win the argument with others, so she would sulk and even kill herself with anger.
"If you can really solve the problem of people's food, wouldn't you be a living Bodhisattva?"
Yun Ran still replied, very proudly.
Sure enough, the third sister was so angry that she covered her chest and said no more. She was sulking again.
Why bother to make things unhappy?
Your Majesty naturally had to eat with the men, so after presenting the gift, he was led to the men's side.
Long after he left, the girls here were still talking about it.
"Wow, your Majesty is so kind and gentle..."
"Your Majesty is very handsome..."
“It’s a shame that I wasn’t selected in the last draft.”
.......
When Su Wanwan heard their discussion, she remembered about the talent show. Didn’t they say that Uncle Cheng Wang would also come to Beijing because of the talent show?
Why didn't I see him?
I wonder if he has found a wife.
There were many people talking at the moment, so Su Wanwan didn't ask any more questions.
When the food was served, everyone finally ate ants climbing a tree made of vermicelli, as well as cold-mixed bean curd and stir-fried bean curd. The staple food was corn and sweet potato steamed bread.
Although they are nobles in the capital, many of them have never eaten these.
After eating, I once again deeply realized Su Wanwan’s contribution to the food problem of the Great Xia Dynasty.
There was also a burst of praise from the men. Shen Yuan sat at the main table. Some people came over to toast him, and he drank them all without changing his expression.
Given the situation today, he had to show up.
He had also seen the guest list, and with the makeup his wife put on today, no one would associate him with the Huo family.
Especially today, Uncle Huo also came. Looking at the Huo family's iconic sword-like eyebrows, his current face is nothing like that at all.
As for Xiao Yunyi, His Majesty looked at him for a long time.
Because they were at home and His Majesty was present, the men were very quiet and no one dared to cause any trouble.
Even his uncle Huo Xiangdong was very quiet today.
Come to think of it, my uncle has never taken the Ye family seriously, and he is just here for formalities today.
However, he also took a closer look at Shen Yuan, and seeing his appearance, he seemed to have relaxed and was drinking with his colleagues.
Shen Yuan knew that his uncle was confirming his identity, and he invited him here today just to let him see it openly.
The leader of the Black Wind Village, Mor, who was killed during the bandit suppression campaign, was the most powerful confidant of the second uncle.
Even though he was killed during the government's crackdown on bandits, there seemed to be no flaws.
Second uncle and the others certainly didn't believe that the government had the ability to kill More.
More's kung fu is on par with Huo Yuan's in the past. Moreover, More has been operating in Black Wind Village for a long time, so even if he is exposed, he will definitely be able to escape.
Second uncle must have thought of the person who could kill More.
A lot of things happened in Beichang Prefecture this year, especially in Tongxu County. My uncles and second uncles must have spies there. After finding out that he had been to Prince Cheng's Mansion, they must have suspected him.
So, he gave his uncle a chance to test his own strength.
He followed his grandfather to the military camp when he was eight years old, and rarely saw his uncles. When he occasionally returned to Beijing, he also wore a mask.
His eldest and second uncles didn't like him and they didn't even have the chance to have a meal together.
My uncle's impression of him is still about when he was eight years old.
A man's appearance will change a lot when he grows up, not to mention that he is groomed by his wife.
Therefore, Shen Yuan was not afraid at all that he would find out.
On the contrary, the more timid you are, the more likely there is something fishy going on.
Just now, taking the opportunity of going to the toilet, his uncle came to test his martial arts. He also took two moves, but his skills were only at the level of an ordinary soldier and he was defeated in a short while.
Shen Yuan glanced at Huo Xiangdong. He must have put aside his doubts and was concentrating on drinking.
Huo Xiangdong did put his doubts aside.
This Shen Yuan was simply a village guy with average martial arts skills. Although he looked handsome, his eyebrows alone did not make him look like a member of the Huo family.
It seems that my second brother is worrying too much.
Huo Yuan was already dead, they had confirmed it personally, how could he be resurrected?
What's more, she has two children, but I have never heard the old man mention that Huo Yuan got married and had children at the border.
My second brother is like this, suspicious of everything.
After a while, His Majesty seemed to have drunk too much, he stood up and prepared to leave first.
Ye Mufei stood up immediately.
"Your Majesty, there is a hangover soup in your house. Why don't you drink a bowl before leaving?"
Yun Xuanshuo didn't want to go back to the palace so soon, but he also felt that if he sat here, the ministers would feel restrained. After hearing what the eldest uncle of the Ye family said, he naturally agreed.
"Okay, I feel really dizzy, let me go to the back and take a rest."
He held his forehead with his hand and Shen Yuan stood up immediately.
"Uncle, let me do it. You can accompany the guests."
Shen Yuan led Yun Xuanshuo and a eunuch to the back, where there was a quiet side courtyard.
Ye Mufei watched them walk away before sitting down.
"Your Majesty has left, let's continue drinking. We won't leave until we are drunk today!"
As expected, after His Majesty left, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
"Duke Zhenguo, although your son-in-law of the Ye family is a farmer, he is not afraid of the stage at all. He is quite good."
"That's not the case. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that both daughters of the Ye family fell in love with him? He must have something special."
......
Everyone was talking about it, and it seemed that they all had a good impression of Shen Yuan.
"Hey, I'm just a reckless guy who doesn't know anything. I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Ye Mufei smiled along, but his mind drifted to the side courtyard.
