After the Hou family's mistress was reborn, the entire Hou family suffered disaster

Chapter 22 Family Dinner
Everyone stayed outside the city for a long time, until the sun was setting in the west, and then they returned in fully loaded carriages.

When I returned, the space in the carriage was almost filled with green lotus leaves.

Xie Ziqi and Shen Chuan rowed a boat into the depths of the lotus pond to pick these, which were still wet with moisture. Several baskets of lotus pods were placed in the corner.

If the carriage wasn't big enough, there wouldn't even be a place to sit.

On the way back, Jiang Fuyue and Sun Jingke divided the things, one for each family.

Jiang Fuyue and Sun Jingke had a large family behind them, but Shen Chuan was the only one, so his share seemed pitiful.

Sun Jingke wiped his hands with a handkerchief and said, "I'll ask the kitchen to prepare a lotus banquet tomorrow. You must come."

Jiang Fuyue nodded in agreement.

At this time, the carriage slowly stopped.

Guyu waved his hand to summon a guard and asked him to move the basket full of lotus leaves and lotus pods into the house.

Jiang Fuyue got out of the car and returned to the mansion. The carriage continued to move forward and returned to the Duke of Jin's mansion.

-

After returning to Shaoguang Courtyard, Guyu sent the lotus leaves and lotus pods to the kitchen, while Jiang Fuyue returned to the bedroom and lay down on the couch without moving.

This afternoon, I was really happy when I was happy, and I was really tired when I was tired.

Jiang Fuyue was lying on the couch, her hands folded on her lower abdomen, and her whole body exuded a peaceful aura.

Jingzhe opened the door and came in. Seeing her like this, she almost couldn't help laughing.

I remember that when Mrs. Jiang was still here, Sun Jingke always followed her mother to the house and dragged Jiang Fuyue up and down the house.

At that time, Jiang Fuyue looked like this every time after sending Sun Jingke away.

When Jiang Fuyue heard the sound of opening the door, she lazily opened her eyelids and glanced at her: "Is something wrong?"

Jingzhe nodded with a smile: "The old lady knew that the Marquis was going to move back for a long time, so she wanted to hold a family banquet in Songshou Yuan tonight and ask the Marquis and the two young masters to come and sit down, but the Marquis insisted. Taking Aunt Yun with me, the old lady was so angry that she immediately started a quarrel."

Jiang Fuyue sneered: "Master Hou is so filial."

Not long after Aunt Yun scolded the old lady, and before the confinement was lifted, Marquis Anyuan already wanted to lead her in a swaggering appearance in front of the old lady.

Isn't this obvious and will cause trouble for the old lady?

The mother and son didn't know how much hatred they had.

"Isn't that right," Jingzhe said, "Mama Liu came over earlier, and the servant said you were not here. Now that you are back, do you want to go to Songshouyuan to check on the situation?"

"I won't go." Jiang Fuyue said decisively.

She didn't care how angry the old lady looked.

Jingzhe was not surprised at all by her attitude: "Yes."

Just then, Guyu came back from the kitchen delivering things. He took her and talked about what delicious food he had for lunch today and what fun things he played in the afternoon. He talked non-stop.

Jingzhe felt sad and thought she was annoying, so she made an excuse to say that she was busy, turned around and left, but Gu Yu also left with her, as if she would not stop until she finished what she said.

Jiang Fuyue finally calmed down here and was able to close her eyes and recuperate.

It was getting late at this time, and Jiang Fuyue was not asleep at all, so she was awakened by Jingzhe: "Madam, someone from Songshouyuan has been sent over to ask you to come over for dinner."

Jiang Fuyue rubbed her eyebrows.

After getting up, washing and dressing up again, and changing her clothes, Jiang Fuyue took Jingzhe to Songshouyuan.

At this time, there were a lot of people in Songshou Courtyard. Men, women, old and young gathered in a room. They looked busy, but something was wrong with the atmosphere.

The old lady was sitting in the front seat, staring bitterly and bitterly at the intimate figures of Marquis Anyuan and Aunt Yun on the left, while Gu Liao and Gu Feng stood behind Aunt Yun with their heads lowered.Seeing Jiang Fuyue coming, the two children hurriedly greeted her and said, "Mother."

Jiang Fuyue nodded, and after saluting the old lady, she went to sit on the right side of the old lady. The two children, perhaps feeling a little embarrassed standing next to Aunt Yun, followed her.

Ever since Jiang Fuyue saved Aunt Yun in front of the old lady that day, brothers Gu Liao and Gu Feng went to Shaoguang Courtyard to pay her respects every morning. Sometimes when they saw her in the garden, they would even take the initiative to greet Jiang Fuyue. Fu Yue salutes and says hello, extremely well-behaved.

This is not a bad thing at all.

However, Jiang Fuyue did not get such treatment from these two people in her previous life. In this life, she only said a few words in front of the old lady and made the two brothers so obedient.

Jiang Fuyue looked at it, feeling only ridiculed in her heart.

When the old lady saw that Jiang Fuyue didn't ask what happened from the time she came in until she sat down, her already ugly face became even more ugly.

She didn't believe Jiang Fuyue couldn't see the weirdness in this room.

The old lady turned her head and winked at Mother Liu. Mother Liu understood and took a step forward: "Madam, you are the owner of this back house. You should have the final say on the affairs of this back house..."

Jiang Fuyue glanced at her and interrupted her directly: "My mother-in-law is still here, how can this family obey me in everything?"

After speaking, Jiang Fuyue picked up the tea that had just been served and took a sip.

When Mama Liu opened her mouth, Jiang Fuyue knew what she was going to say.

He just wanted to use her as a swordsman to drive Aunt Yun back, whom the old lady didn't like, and ground her.

Mother Liu's face froze, and she couldn't say the rest of her words, so she could only retreat to the old lady's side angrily.

Seeing that even Jiang Fuyue had this attitude, the old lady was so angry that her eyes darkened and her face changed.

But the others didn't seem to notice, they were joking and laughing, drinking tea and being in a daze.

It was getting late, and the meal finally started in this extremely weird atmosphere.

The two brothers who always liked to act coquettishly around the old lady in the past were now sitting neatly beside Jiang Fuyue.

Marquis Anyuan and Aunt Yun were sitting together, chatting and laughing in low voices while eating vegetables, but the old lady seemed unusually deserted.

All old people love to have their children and grandchildren around their knees, and the old lady is no exception. So she waved to Gu Liao and Gu Feng with a smile, and said in a gentle tone: "My dear grandchildren, come to grandma quickly!"

Hearing this, Gu Liao and Gu Feng first glanced at Jiang Fuyue, and then looked at Aunt Yun when they saw she didn't respond.

With a look from Aunt Yun, the two of them sat down with their rice bowls in hand.

Just sitting next to the old lady, the two of them just ate obediently and no longer hugged the old lady and laughed and acted coquettishly like before.

The old lady brought food to the two of them, and they even thanked her in a strange way.

Marquis Anyuan didn't know what was wrong. He served Aunt Yun from beginning to end of the meal, picking up vegetables and serving soup for her. He was so considerate.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but most of the dishes picked by Anyuanhou were the same piece that Jiang Fuyue happened to be picking.

Every time Jiang Fuyue stretched out her chopsticks and almost touched the dish, a pair of chopsticks suddenly shot out from the side and snatched the dish away with lightning speed.

Jiang Fuyue looked at him several times inexplicably.

Now, the old lady felt even worse. The meal was so tasteless that she didn't even taste the food.

However, Jiang Fuyue ate well, even if she was disturbed by Marquis Anyuan several times, she was still full in the end.

In the past, Jiang Fuyue would definitely have stayed, greeted the servants to tidy up the dining room, and listened to the old lady's lecture before leaving.

But now, Jiang Fuyue waited for everyone to put down their chopsticks before standing up and leaving, walking faster than Anyuan Hou.

Aunt Yun hurriedly chased her out, only to see Jiang Fuyue turn a corner and disappear.
