The Duke's Wife is Beautiful But Has a Dark Heart. Chapter 22

Chapter 22 What do I owe you?

 The next morning, when I went to greet my grandmother again, the atmosphere in the house became much stronger.

Yuan Shi had already handed over the account to her husband. Seeing that she looked really bad, she dressed up specially.

Wearing a light blue unprinted horse-face skirt, only the horse face is embroidered with dark blue magnolia flowers.

 Apply some powder without leaving any trace.

 The whole person is fresh and elegant.

Next to her, Wen Huan is wearing a slim-fitting light purple woven red plum shirt. She is as playful and sweet as a daughter in a boudoir. The frivolous arrogance on his face in the past two days has calmed down a lot.

When the two people came in, Wen Yu was standing by the door. When he saw them, he saluted and called: "Mrs."

No matter how much she hates or feels embarrassed in her heart, Mrs. Yuan's expression remains as gentle as ever: “Sister Yu!”

Wen Huan called out lightly: "Sister." Not near, not far, neither smiling nor complaining.

Yuanshi secretly observed and felt satisfied that her daughter was smart after all. We have come to this point, and being cold-faced or trying to calm down are both inferior. This matter still needs adults to solve it.

 “Grandma!” Wen Huan walked up to the old lady and bowed sweetly.

Today's smile pleased the old lady, and she said angrily: "Today, the Song family is coming, and you sisters should greet the guests well."

“Grandma, will Song Wu's cousin and cousin sister-in-law come?” Sister Jiao asked loudly as soon as she entered the door.

The old lady's eyes suddenly narrowed, "That brat is the most unreasonable! The letter said he would come either today or tomorrow! But your fifth cousin should come first!"

“Cousin, are you living in a distant house?” The Song family's original family is still dozens of miles away from here. "Yuanlu" is the local villa of the Song family. It has a peony garden. When it blooms in spring, it is the most famous garden within hundreds of miles.

"Yes! We live in a distant house. Oh, your fifth cousin has the most troubles! I don't know how many people I know from different religions. Wherever I go, there are a bunch of friends looking for me! Alas! It's so troublesome!"

Song Wu is the grandson of the old lady's eldest brother. Her eldest nephew had the best temperament, but he had an accident and died early.

The Song family has a huge fortune and fierce competition for interests. It is common for them to do evil things. It was said to be an "accident", but I couldn't tell what happened.

 The nephew's wife was quite useful, and she surprisingly protected Song Shang.

 Song Shang... is even better!

Young, smart, and ruthless, he took control of the Song family and prospered the Song family by stepping on those so-called relatives!

 The key point is: he is very close to himself. Especially in the past few years, the family has benefited a lot from him. Even the old one in the family often comes to him for help!

Ah! But feel proud of yourself!

 So, in this world, the old lady loves her eldest son first, and Song Shang the second. Not even enough for a few grandchildren!

Wen Huan leaned beside the old lady and spoke in agreement, while glancing at Wen Yu.

Wen Yu was wearing a very light beige skirt today. There is nothing special about the material style. What is special is the few appliques sewn on the skirt...

There is only a simple silver hairpin on her head. Although it looks quite exquisite, the old lady's jewelry is graceful, the mother's elegance, and the second aunt's dress is low-key, but the things she wears are not ordinary. The several sisters are even more colorful, each with their own style. Even the concubine's fourth sister is gentle and has exquisite jewelry.

Only gentle words!

 …She did it on purpose! As if someone abused her.

 Just, why is she so beautiful?

  Could it be the appliques of the same color on the hem and skirt? How come she still does this... Where did she get her clothes? Wen Huan didn't show it on her face, but her heart was churning.

 Hmph, be creative and attract others' attention!

If Wen Yu knew what she was thinking, he would definitely accuse her of injustice.

 This dress is made of Yanzhu. This flower was also made by her. However, I came up with the tricks and supplements myself. Or because of her knowledge in the previous life.

 However, she only taught Yan Zhu, but she didn't let her do it on her clothes! I haven't taken Yan Zhu out these days, so she just spends time in the house...

 When I was putting it on this morning, I realized that there were so many bits and pieces... I frowned and looked at it for a long time, I really didn't want to wear it anymore! But looking at Yanzhu Mouse's joy, he had no choice but to wear it.

Unexpectedly, cousin Hui came over. "Sister Yu, this dress is so beautiful! It's better than what you usually wear. Oh my god, it looks like a little fairy!" Wen Yu looked at Cousin Hui and was speechless. Do you and Yan Zhu have the same taste?

“Cousin, do you think the appliques on this skirt look good?”

"Yes! How smart?! So fresh! A little girl, you have to be like this! You, before...hehe...a little too glamorous. Later, you were too plain. You have gone to extremes! This is just right today. , Sophisticated yet lively. Look at my aunt's clothes today, wouldn't they be too boring without the embroidery on the horse-faced skirt?”

Cousin Hui, who is not outstanding in talent or appearance, takes her seriously and praises her sincerely. The eldest aunt in my memory was a typical flatterer and bully type.

Cousin Hui's temperament may look like that of the Yuan family, which is quite good!

Wen Wan also saw Wen Yu's skirt, rubbed it over, and looked at it carefully with her slender eyebrows furrowed: "Sister, where did the patchwork on your dress come from? We have never seen anything like this in our custom-made shop. ah?!"

 “It was sewn by Yan Zhu.” Wen Yu said lightly.

Wen Wan didn't listen to what she was saying at all, "When did you make it? Why didn't I know you had this skirt? Who sewed the flowers for you? Hongdou? Sister, you really hid your private goods secretly. !”

 She asked a series of questions, and in a very unhappy tone.

Wen Yu thought about how she had done so much sewing and work for Wen Wan. She had not even said a good word, but had made so many complaints... She still had the same face now!

"How shameless! Is this how you talk to your eldest sister?" Wen Yu asked.

Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, "What? What did you say?"

“Looking back, I want to ask my second aunt how you learned these rules!”

Wen Yue said seriously: "Over the years, how much work have I done for you out of love for my sister? Who designed the butterfly button on your body, and who sewed it on for you? I don't see you being grateful, so I'm getting a lot of complaints. Is it possible that I owe you something?”

"You..." Wen Wan never thought that the eldest sister who was usually so easy to bully would have such a powerful day.

“If you are not convinced, let's go to grandma now to judge!”

Mr. Yuan was talking to the old lady, and Wen Huan had already stretched out his ears and squinted his eyes to pay attention.

Cousin Hui quickly said: "Oh, the old lady is happy today. Let's not ruin her mood. Fourth cousin, your tone just now was indeed a bit harsh..."

Wen Wan's face couldn't be changed, "Huh! What's so great! You are willing to do it! Do you think I care about it? I have many clothes, so I'll change them now!" He waved his hand and walked away angrily.

Cousin Hui looked at Wen Wan's back and shook her head, "Don't be angry. In the past, you were too spoiled to them."

"Yeah! I'm just so easy to talk to, which makes them a little confused!" Wen Yu agreed.

 “Don't be angry! You are doing well today.” Cousin Hui said.

“Cousin Hui, am I stupid?!” Wen Yu asked sadly.

"You are not stupid, you are too kind. You know, not everyone in this world is worthy of your kindness to her!"

"Cousin, why are you so open-minded? I remember my aunt..." Wen hesitated to speak. That aunt who was born as a concubine was not a good bird.

“Haha!” Cousin Hui blushed, “We, my siblings, were all raised by our grandmother. Although my grandmother is illiterate, she is a wise old lady.”

“That's it! You are so lucky! Therefore, your younger brother's academic performance is better than that of my elder brother!”

 “Haha... I hope that my brother will be able to become a scholar next year.”

 “He can do it!” And he won the prize.

It's just that his eldest aunt made a bad marriage arrangement for him, which ruined his future.

Cousin Hui smiled brightly after hearing this.
