Chapter 191 The girl from the Liu family is such a nuisance!
As they walked to the next table, Minister Lan snorted coldly, "You old fox, you talk better than you sing!"
Fu Zhiyi followed silently, holding the wine jug and not daring to breathe.
The old marquis slammed his wine glass down on the table. "You're making insinuations and making veiled accusations!"
The eldest master Fu Heming and the second master Fu Heyong looked at each other, raised their glasses and drank from each other, without responding to the old marquis' words.
The third brother looked so awful and was not nice to the girl from the Lan family.
What? Isn't it time for the older brother to get his revenge? Just a few insinuations, that's pretty forgiving, okay?
If they were in her place, they would definitely punch them in the face if their daughters were bullied by their in-laws.
Although the two brothers did not speak, their expressions and eyes revealed their thoughts clearly.
The old marquis gnashed his teeth in hatred. He didn't just come up and give you brothers a couple of punches. He directly took away the marquisate that you were about to get and put it off until the end of time. Do you understand?
It’s a pity that I dare not say this.
If I really tell it out loud, the eldest brother might even want to eat the third brother.
I'm afraid the first and third wives are about to have a quarrel, which will not only hurt the brotherhood and harmony, but also make them a laughing stock to outsiders.
This is what I mean by not being able to protect the eldest brother-in-law of the Lan family.
He just wanted to cause a commotion in their mansion.
He will never be able to fulfill the Lan family's wish!
Thinking of this, the old marquis had to drink two more glasses of wine before he could swallow his anger.
After three rounds of drinks, the guests slowly said goodbye.
Minister Lan brought his son and Fu Zhiyi to see the guests off.
The old marquis took the people from the Ningping Marquisate to say goodbye. When he saw Fu Zhiyi following Minister Lan, his eyes were filled with tears.
He couldn't help but said in front of Minister Lan: "Brother Yi, your mother and your wife have been away from home for quite some time, and your grandmother has been thinking about them. Go home as soon as you are free--"
Before Fu Zhiyi could say anything, Minister Lan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Yi can go back with you today. I'll sort out my daughter's dowry and write a list, and then I'll let Yi come and take his wife back."
"Although my daughter was late in recognizing me, our Lan family will definitely not hesitate to give her what she deserves! When the time comes, I'll have to trouble you, uncle, to send more people to pick her up and bring her the dowry."
As soon as these words were spoken, Fu Zhiyi and the old marquis both looked at Minister Lan.
Minister Lan looked over with a smile on his face, looking like a smiling tiger.
The old marquis took a deep breath and was completely speechless.
If there weren't other people around, he would have wanted to twist Minister Lan's head to see what he was trying to do.
Finally, he calmed down and didn't want to say another word to Minister Lan. He said stiffly, "Goodbye—"
He ran away without caring about his son and grandson behind him.
The eldest and second masters were left with no choice but to accompany Minister Lan for a while with a wry smile before following the old marquis and saying goodbye.
After all the guests left, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
I've been tired these past few days and finally I can take a break.
Minister Lan looked at Fu Zhiyi and said, "Since your grandfather said this in public today, and you have indeed left the Marquis' Mansion for some time, you still have to continue living in the Marquis' Mansion. You should go back today."
Fu Zhiyi was also speechless.
No, uncle, are you just going to cross the river and destroy the bridge, and throw it away after using it?
Am I still your good nephew?
Minister Lan said, now you are not my nephew, you are my son-in-law, so the treatment is naturally different.
Under the sympathetic and suppressed laughter looks of his three cousins from the Lan family, Fu Zhiyi silently returned to the Ningping Marquis Mansion alone.
On the way back, the carriage was empty, so Daman finally had time to come in and report, "Fourth Master, the Lu family is indeed as persistent as you expected. They arrived at the Lan Mansion in a carriage today. I went over and told them what you said, and although they believed it, they still refused to give up."
"I stayed until the banquet was over and all the guests had left, and then I left reluctantly."
"I asked someone to follow him, and sure enough, halfway through, we ran into Lu Yuanwailang's colleague who was close to him. We met for a drink and went into Yongchun Tower."
Fu Zhiyi closed his eyes and rubbed his brows, "Keep a close eye on that side, and let them send the people back tomorrow."
Daman agreed and walked out.
I haven't been back to Ningping Marquis Mansion for many days, and when I returned to Tingtao Residence, I felt empty.
Fu Zhiyi simply went back to the study room in front and rested for the night.
On the second day, the people from Tingtaoju started to clean up the house. After all, my uncle had said that they would pack the dowry in the next few days and bring the person and the dowry back in two days.
He had to clear out the warehouse quickly, otherwise when he got the dowry back, there would be no place to put it.
Fortunately, there were only the couple living in Tingtao Residence, so there were still many empty rooms.
After a little tidying up, two empty rooms were cleared out to be used as warehouses to store Lu Zhenzhen's upcoming dowry.
Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion also knew the news.
Hu and Sun had quite a bit of dowry of their own, so naturally they were not envious. At most, they would sigh a few times, saying that the Lan family was really particular about things. Since they said that, the dowry must be quite substantial.
Only Zhao felt increasingly unhappy.
She and Liu Sisi embarrassed themselves at the banquet yesterday, and Fu Zhiming found out when they came back.
Fu Zhiming didn't know how to say anything to his cousin Liu Sisi, so he directed all his anger at Zhao.
Not only did the lights in the Lanyue Courtyard house not go out until three o'clock in the morning, but Fu Zhiming also came out of the house angrily in the middle of the night and went into his concubine's room.
Zhao cried all night and almost missed the time to pay her respects the next day.
There was no time to dress up, her face was yellow and her eyelids were swollen, and she went to Ruixuan Hall like this.
On the way back from Zhao's stay at the Lan family yesterday, Old Lady Bai already knew about it.
By the evening, Mrs. Hu knew everything.
At this moment, Mrs. Hu saw Mrs. Zhao rushing over with a haggard look on her face and rolled her eyes.
She had been reminded long ago that her cousin was not a good person, but she was obsessed with protecting her cousin from the Liu family.
It's okay if it happens at home, but it's really embarrassing to go out and embarrass such a big person!
Old Lady Bai was also somewhat unhappy because Zhao had embarrassed herself in front of outsiders by what she had done yesterday.
If it weren't for Brother Yi's daughter-in-law coming to the rescue, who knows how she would have ended up.
That girl from the Liu family is such a nuisance!
It had only been a few days since she came to the mansion, and the grandsons and their wives, who had been getting along well, had ended up like this.
Old Lady Bai also felt that Zhao needed to be colder and curb her temper.
When paying respects, he didn't look very happy.
Zhao was scolded by her husband yesterday and treated coldly by her grandmother-in-law for several days. She felt extremely frightened and helpless.
After greeting each other, he shamelessly started a conversation with Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Sun to ease the situation.
But both of them stood up and walked away talking and laughing, without even glancing at her.
Zhao watched the two people walk away with a feeling of loss and resentment.
Before, no matter how disagreeable everyone was, they would still walk together after greeting each other. At most, they would leave the yard and go their separate ways.
Later, the relationship between everyone eased, and the four sisters-in-law went out of the yard, chatting and laughing. Although they would occasionally mock each other, no one took it seriously.
Since when did my eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and fourth brother's wife leave me behind?
Zhao looked a little dazed.
