Xu Mingwei nodded, and allowed him to lead the way out. Along the way, the servants would occasionally bump into them and step aside to salute them. Their eyes were filled with amusement; it seemed that the new young mistress was very fond of the Eldest Young Master, and would even have to lead them on their way.
Wan Rong and the others followed behind. When Xu Mingwei and Fu Heng entered the Main yard, a wife came to lure them to the side for tea.
Wan Rou was still annoyed that had interrupted her so casually in the morning, she was not willing to sit with her, and instead said, "Some people love to climb high, how can I casually sit with people like us? I am not an untactful person, it is better for me to avoid them, so as to avoid dirtying your eyes."
With that, he twisted his body and sat by the door.
Wan Rong looked at the silent Wan Yi, then at the furious Wan Rou, then back to the confused look on Bi Tao, who sighed and stopped talking.
Fu Hongbo and Madam Wang were already seated at the main seat, waiting. The left seat was occupied by the juniors of the Fu Clan, including their wives. The right seat was occupied by the unmarried daughters of the Fu Clan, led by Fu Ninghui. Hearing the sound of them entering, she just so happened to turn around and nod towards Xu Mingwei, and smiled.
Although the matter regarding the Eldest Princess was not over yet, Fu Ninghui still had to let go of her position and smiled at her. It was fine if she had some face, but not if they were friends.
When Lady Wang saw Fu Heng holding onto Xu Mingwei's hand and bringing him in, her eyebrows tightened. When she saw that Xu Mingwei still had the look of a young lady on her face, her heart was filled with dissatisfaction, but why did she anxiously ask for a daughter-in-law to come back?
However, Fu Hongbo was extremely fond of Xu Mingwei, the eldest daughter-in-law. Yesterday, he felt that his new daughter-in-law was walking in a natural manner, and now that he had seen her face, her looks were naturally extremely good. Even in the capital, he might not be able to find anything better, but what was rare was that she was extremely upright and steady, and was something that he could rely on. Maybe in the future, he could really control his husband and let Heng Ge'er take back his arrogance.
The only thing that the two of them had a tacit understanding of was that they had hidden their feelings of joy and hatred well and did not reveal it in the scene. Xu Mingwei obediently gave the tea to the elders in the family, and after recognizing the age of the young, he was sent away by Lady Wang's warm words.
"It's done. Little girl, you've been tormented enough yesterday. Go back and take a good rest." I won't be able to recognize any of these brothers and sisters after a while, so mother will bring you to the Second Branch to meet three rooms. " The meaning of her words was that as long as she went back alone, Xu Mingwei would need to raise his head to look at Fu Heng. Seeing the latter nod towards her, he thanked Lady Wang and walked out of the main hall.
Wan Rong and the others had already received the message and were waiting outside. Her appearance was rather interesting, the three of them stood in a row, and only set Wan Yi aside.
Xu Mingwei's eyes swept over them just in time to meet Wan Yi's eyes that were filled with both desire and fear. She coldly snorted from the bottom of her heart. As expected, the girls that she didn't want to climb out of bed were not qualified. If she knew earlier that she would have such a thought, she would have wasted the energy of the Lady Helan. It wasn't as if she hadn't asked them before, as they all shook their heads like a rattle drum. But now, she actually wanted to seduce the male owner. This face of hers was truly too ugly! Now, she was even using such a gaze at him, could it be that he really thought that she, Xu Mingwei, was a pimp that wanted to warm his husband's bed? She's not an idiot!?
If Fu Heng wanted to sleep with others, she knew that he could not stop him. After all, this was the way things were in the current era. Her bottom line was that if Fu Heng wanted to find another woman, it would be best if she didn't stop him from feeling sad. However, he couldn't take the initiative to arrange someone for his husband.
In the end, she was not as "following the customs of the land". Being able to not complain or feel hatred was already the greatest.
As a result, Xu Mingwei looked at Wan Yi with a smirk on her face, not caring about her at all. She told Wan Rong to go back to his room before turning around and leaving.
Wan Yi landed behind everyone and bit her lips in dissatisfaction.
A girl would rather take advantage of an outsider than to look after her. That was unreasonable! He had been by the girl's side for so many years. Even if he didn't have any merits, he should have some hard work, right? How could the girl refuse to agree to such a trivial matter? She also regretted that she did not nod her head in agreement when Xu Mingwei asked them if she should follow him to the bridal room. How would she have known that in the future, Young Master would be such an outstanding person? Ever since she saw him smiling and waving at her in the wedding procession, Wan Yi's heart had uncontrollably sunk.
If only she had nodded!
Lady Wang and the others had already left, so she smiled at Fu Heng to test the waters, "Why, you've already walked for half a day, and you're still unwilling to part with me?"
Fu Hongbo looked at his wife in dissatisfaction. He thought to himself, who would talk to their son like that? But he still had to leave some face for his wife, so he didn't say anything in front of Fu Heng.
Fu Heng earnestly replied, "Mother said this, how can son be so greedy for color? However, looking at the expression on her little sister's face today, it seems as if she is somewhat sad. I'm afraid that she has been moved by this marriage, and even pretended to be happy on the surface.
His single sentence caused the two elders of the Fu family to feel troubled.
Fu Hongbo didn't care to leave any face for his wife anymore, and scolded, "Children are all debts owed by their past lives! If you leave her in the backyard, she could have taken a fancy to someone else. But now, that person had ordered the girl from the Yang family to stay. Now, half of the capital city is watching us make a joke. Who doesn't know that a girl from the Fu family has been waiting bitterly for the young prefecture lord! "Who else can we marry?"
Mrs Wang was also angry and could not help but raise her voice, and retorted, "Didn't I tell you before? This backyard is where your daughter lives. Do you dare to say that you don't know how many times the young prefecture lord has gone back and forth? Can you blame me for this? It was their Ying Family that had gone too far and let their son out to harm others. When he broke the engagement with the Xu family for our daughter, I already said that this child is unreliable. Wasn't it Ning Hui who had his heart set on waiting for him? How have I not advised him? This child just doesn't want to listen. As a mother, what can I do? "
If they kept arguing, it would be a terrible debt. Fu Heng immediately coughed to remind the two elders, he was still standing in front of him, at least he had to maintain his dignity as a parent.
Only then did Fu Hongbo and Wang Shi hold back their anger.
Fu Heng said slowly, "But now is not the time to blame each other. The girl felt bitter in her heart. As an elder brother, I know, but a girl has to be married off no matter what, right? Although staying at home would protect her for the time being, as time went by, it was inevitable that someone would gossip and ruin her sister's reputation. It's better for father and mother to see the right family as early as possible. Don't let this sister waste her years of life and develop resentment instead. "
Mrs Wang thought that it was indeed true, and said to Fu Hongbo, "This year, didn't spring have a few of your students who passed the test? When you go back, you should check it out. If you have a suitable age, you should be decent and decent. It doesn't matter what happens at home, you can just take a glance and see. Ning Hui was not a young girl anymore. If he dragged this past year on, he would become an old lady, so he had to hurry up. I am also clear about my daughter's family matters. At this moment, if I feel sad, it will be different when I get married. I can forget about what I should forget. "
Fu Hongbo nodded towards his wife, indicating that he was clear about the situation, and would naturally look for him later. It was not early in the morning, so he picked up his hat and went out.
Lady Wang waited until her husband was far away before she asked Fu Heng sternly, "How come your wife still has an unbroken body, but is she so angry that she won't let you get close to her?"
Fu Heng hurriedly stepped forward to coax her, "Mother, you still don't know me? "Don't you dare mention this to Mingwei these days. She was wondering why I didn't want to touch her last night, and found a lot of excuses to deceive her."
Lady Wang slapped away his hand pressing on her shoulder, but her tone was a lot gentler. "Don't be so mischievous. A good wife, why are you still not willing to touch her?"
Fu Heng then sat in an armchair without shape, and laughed, "Isn't it all because of the disaster that Chun Nier stirred up? Your son was worried about you, so he didn't tell you the truth. The doctor secretly told me to carefully recuperate, otherwise, if I were to be left empty-handed in the future, it would affect the future of my son. I had to endure this for at least half a year, so I coaxed Mingwei to wait until she was old enough. However, he managed to deceive her. Otherwise, if her words were to spread to my husband's family, would he still want to be a human and not do anything? I'm afraid you'll have to knock on the door. "
Mrs. Wang jumped in fright, blaming him, "You child, how dare you keep such a big thing like this from us!"
After a moment of worry, she asked, "No wonder you didn't want to go to the backyard anymore. How are you doing right now? Do you still need to see a doctor and change the recipe?"
In his heart, Fu Heng was annoyed by Lady Wang for meddling in his back yard for too long, but he endured on the surface. He replied warmly, "This kind of thing is not some good thing. Mother, you don't have to worry. Your son knows his own body well and will take good care of himself. When it comes to my wife, you have to help her hide it. You have to take pity on her and pamper her a little. Don't let her be suspicious. "
As she helped her son deceive his daughter-in-law, Lady Wang was naturally willing and pleased with herself. Even if her son married her, he would still treat her as one of his own.
