Red makeup against the world

Chapter 681

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen hugged Xu Wanzhen into her arms distressedly, "Oh my son, I have suffered you all these years! Don't worry, from now on, this mansion will be your home, and I will be your mother. What's the matter?" If you are wronged, just tell your mother, and your mother will support you!"

What he said was distressed and heroic, like a mother who just found her long-lost daughter.

Xu Wanzhen lay in her arms and sobbed softly, "Mother..."

Lu looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law speechlessly, it wasn't that the sky was bright and bright at this time, she really thought she was dreaming.

Wu Zhengxiang sneered in his heart, even if it was acting, it was too much.This Mrs. Chen, who is she trying to deceive?

Only Wu Lie was quite relieved to see their mother's kindness and son's filial piety.After so many years, my first wife finally figured it out.I'm afraid she couldn't bear to apologize to the concubine, so she treated the concubine and daughter-in-law so well in disguise.

He found this reason in his heart, and became more and more satisfied with Mrs. Chen.

After waiting for a while, Wu Jiao also arrived.She helped Hongying's hand to get off the boat, and after seeing Wu Lie and Chen Shi, she took Lu Shi's hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "Jiaoer hasn't tasted the banquet hosted by sister-in-law for a long time. Yes! Today is a blessing.”

No matter how hard she was, no matter how difficult she was in the Shangshu Mansion, she would not go back to her natal family for help.

What's more, Wu Chenghe didn't prostitute or gamble, he just took a concubine.Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines?Even a butcher who sells meat on the street wants to find a young girl to wait on him with two coins in his hand, let alone the eldest son of a dignified Shangshufu.

This really can't be regarded as Wu Chenghe's betrayal of her.Even if she wanted to sue, there was no reason.

As for the mother-in-law, Mrs. Ye's personality is quite gentle, and it is the duty of a daughter-in-law to make peace in the morning and evening, and it is impossible to talk about it.Which old lady in the house has not been a daughter-in-law for many years?
Therefore, Wu Jiao's grievances can only be swallowed silently.When she returned to her natal family, she was still the happy and spoiled first lady.

Lu took her hand and said with a smile: "I sent someone to invite you in the morning, but I was looking forward to you! Did you come here on time? The time is just right."

What she said came from the bottom of her heart.Wu Zhengxiang and his wife were more irritating than the other.The mother-in-law was only focused on acting with Xu Wanzhen, and left her, the eldest daughter-in-law who worked hard to manage the banquet, aside.When Wu Jiao came, she was considered a companion.

Wu Jiao smiled and said: "I planned to go out when I received the letter. My mother-in-law said that since the second brother and sister were congratulated on being promoted to the imperial wife, I couldn't come empty-handed. No, it took a lot of time to search the storeroom. My mother-in-law always thinks the gift is too light Not paying attention."

Here, she naturally wanted to speak beautifully.

Now that everyone has arrived, Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "This is a family banquet, so it doesn't matter what your status is. I don't want anyone to serve you. Brother Sheng's daughter-in-law and Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law all sit down and eat together."

It was rare for him to take a break, so Lu Shi was not polite, calling everyone to sit down.

Wu Lie and Chen Shi took the two main seats in the middle, and Wu Zhengxiang and Xu Wanzhen sat on their left.Taking the left as the most respected, Xu Wanzhen, the protagonist of this banquet, took the second most honored position.

Then on the right hand are Lu Shi and Wu Jiao.

The maids lifted up the food boxes, took out steaming meals one by one, and neatly arranged them on a large table.

There are delicate and delicious dishes in front of you, and the autumn rain scene in the distance.You can hear the sound of drizzle falling in your ears, the cool autumn wind blowing by from time to time, and even more pleasant is the sound of silk and bamboo coming from the lakeside.What a beautiful scene!
After all this, Xu Wanzhen couldn't help sighing that Lu's family banquet can also take into account the timing and location, and she really has the demeanor of a clan wife.As for harmony, it is really difficult for her, and it is not something she can do.

Wu Lie was the first to set up his chopsticks, and the servant girl guarding behind everyone served dishes and wine without any trace.

After a round of eating, Mrs. Chen picked up the wine glass and said, "There are no outsiders here, so I won't lose face if I say something."

The meat is here!

Everyone stopped holding their chopsticks and listened quietly to what she had to say.

But she saw her holding a wine glass and said to Xu Wanzhen: "Brother Xiang, daughter-in-law, you just married into our family, and you still don't understand my temperament. I am a straightforward person. If I said something bad in the past, you Don’t ever forget it in your heart.”

Xu Wanzhen responded with a natural smile: "What does mother say, now, you are the loving mother in my daughter-in-law's heart."

"Of course I know you don't care about me." Chen said with a smile, "but you don't care. As an elder, I can't rely on the old to sell the old. That's what Gu Daopo is. ! If it hadn’t been for the empress dowager’s punishment, I still wouldn’t be able to wake up.”

Hearing her confession, Wu Zhengxiang couldn't help but frowned, but didn't speak.Just listen to what she wants to do.

"Afterwards, the queen mother issued a decree, and I realized that I felt remorse. What happened to me? Why did I have trouble with my daughter-in-law?" After finishing speaking, Mrs. Chen raised his glass and said, "This glass of wine, just treat it as my apology. Already!"

Xu Wanzhen quickly stood up, raised her wine glass and said, "Mother, don't say that, I really can't afford it. I should toast to my mother, and do it first." After finishing speaking, she bent her knees slightly and drank the wine in the glass. do.

If the mother-in-law really apologized, the reputation of her arrogant daughter-in-law would probably spread.

"Okay!" Mrs. Chen said with a smile, "Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law is a straightforward person. Everyone, please bear witness to me. From now on, if I dare to neglect her, I will teach Lei to strike me!"

Wu Zhengxiang said unhurriedly: "Mother should take it easy, Zhen'er is young, and I'm afraid I can't bear your kindness." He couldn't help but stab her.

Wu Lie looked at his old wife in relief, she seemed to have finally figured it out!It would be great if I figured it out earlier, so that the family can live in harmony.

It's a pity that it's too late now, and the Buddhist hall will be repaired in more than two months.Who dares to disobey the Queen Mother's oral order?Once the Buddhist hall is completed, she will have to move in.

Hearing Wu Zhengxiang's words, Wu Lie coughed lightly and said, "If your mother can save face and apologize to her daughter-in-law, you have to see her painstaking efforts."

"Her painstaking efforts?" This was simply ridiculous, and Wu Zhengxiang's eyes were full of anger.This is his father!Finally, I think about the harmony between my wife and concubines, my mother's kindness and filial piety, and I always look at the family members who love each other.

But is this possible?Father!You can't open your eyes and see clearly, what kind of woman is Chen Shi?
It's been so many years, can't you still see her true face?

No!It's not that I can't see through, but I don't want to see through.Unwilling to admit that his wife turned out to be a poisonous woman with a heart of snakes and scorpions.If he hadn't always deceived himself and others, his mother wouldn't have died innocently, and he wouldn't have suffered so much when he was young!
