Chapter 336 Bastard
The sixth day of April was a good day for Yun Wanru to get married. Zhao Wangshu asked Lady Qiao to let the three well-trained maids out to watch the fun, so that they could come back and tell her gossip.

Lady Qiao immediately understood what Zhao Wangshu meant, "Thank you, young lady."

"I have worked hard for you all these years. When Axiang gets married, you should also enjoy your grandchildren and enjoy the blessings." Zhao Wangshu said with a gentle smile.

"Young Madam, you are always so considerate of others." Lady Qiao wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, "I will let them go out now."

"They were given half a coin each and asked to find a way to sneak into Cao's house." Zhao Wangshu added.

"Yes, young lady." Lady Qiao went out to get the copper coins and sent the three maids out.

Mrs. Zhao Shisan was forced to settle the bill and lost a large amount of money, so she never mentioned buying a small courtyard as a dowry for Yun Wanru.

However, for the sake of good looks, she still rented a small courtyard, so that Yun Wanru could avoid the embarrassment of getting married out of an inn.

The Cao family's wedding banquet was very lively. Red silk was hung high, the courtyard was filled with lanterns, guests were like clouds, and the door was full of laughter.

The three maids spent a small amount of money to replace the helpers and entered the Cao family gate.

The maids and servants of the Cao family were so busy that they never paid attention to the new helpers. When they saw them, they would only instruct them to do things, "You three, go over there and help set up the tables and chairs."

The three maids hurried over and quickly set up the tables and chairs.

While they were working, they listened to the conversations of the maids and servants around them.

"It's really lively today. I heard that the bride looks like a flower, but her background is low."

"The girl from the Yun family is not from a low background."

"Then it depends on which family you compare with. The Yun family is far behind the Cao family. The Cao family has a county princess. The bride's father has no fame and relies on the family property to live."

"If the young master hadn't fallen in love with Miss Yun, how would the Yun family be qualified to marry the Cao family?"

Among the three maids, the one named Xiaozhen couldn't help but defend her master's family, "Isn't that right? I heard that the Yun family and Uncle An Yuan are from the same clan, and their status is not low."

"It doesn't matter if they are from the same clan. The two families are not close. No one from Uncle Anyuan's house came to drink at today's wedding banquet."

"That's right, Uncle Anyuan's mansion is so noble, but the Cao family only has one county princess, and the others don't have much potential." Xiaozhen curled her lips and said.

"Damn girl, you are very brave. Saying such things in Cao's house will cost your life, right?" An older helper pinched her, "Who brought you in? Are you talking so openly? I won’t dare to take you out to do anything in the future.”

Qiaoni and Qingqing gave Xiaozhen a vague look. Qiaoni had heard someone call the elderly helper Sister-in-law Wei before, and said quickly: "Sister-in-law Wei, she is doing things for the first time and doesn't understand the rules. Don't be angry."

Then he stuffed three copper coins into her and said, "Sister-in-law Wei, don't argue with her. I'll teach her a lesson later."

Sister-in-law Wei took the money, her face looked much better, and she snorted, "For your sake, I won't argue with her. Don't blame me for being rude next time."

"Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong. I just said it casually. I won't dare to do it next time." Xiaozhen said quickly.

"Today's Cao family's wedding banquet is full of distinguished guests. You should act smartly and don't offend the distinguished guests."

Qiaoni and Qingqing responded, and Xiaozhen nodded obediently.

Sister-in-law Wei ignored them and turned around to leave. Qiao Ni and the other three continued to work on their hands, when Qiao Ni saw a young woman standing in the corner holding a child with tears in her eyes.

Looking at the young woman's dress, she didn't look like a serious master. Qiaoni used copper coins to clear the way and found out from a servant of the Cao family, "Her name is Wentong. She lives in the young master's house. She gave birth to a son for the young master. When the eldest mistress comes in, , and made her my concubine.”

Qiao Ni was shocked. Young Master Cao had already given birth to his eldest son before he got married. She wondered whether Mrs. Zhao San and others knew about it.

The three of them were working and asking around, and overheard a lot of gossip from the Cao family.

The Cao family's family background is not high. Only Cao's father is an official in the court. His official position has just been promoted to the third rank. The family background is too low. The servants in the family are all just bought a few years ago, and they are not strict.

Prince Xianli's mother's family had no one available, so the Cao family, his wife's family, became his right-hand man. Therefore, the Cao family deliberately planned to let Cao Yao marry Yun Wanru and take the opportunity to get attached to Yun Hao.

Although Yun Hao seemed to want to break off the relationship with the Yun Zhao family, the relationship was not so easy to break off. The Cao Yun family became in-laws and became related to Yun Hao.

The Cao family had high hopes for this marriage and secretly concealed the fact that Cao Yao had a concubine's eldest son.

Mrs. Zhao Shisan consciously became a noble relative and was filled with joy without even asking about the reason.

He never thought about the reason why Cao Yao insisted on marrying Yun Wanru despite letting all the noble girls in the capital get married.

At this time, there was joy and the sound of firecrackers outside the door. Cao Yao brought Yun Wanru back. The marriage process was completed and the couple was about to enter the bridal chamber.

Wentong rushed into the wedding hall with the child in his arms, and Baji knelt in front of Yun Wanru, with a sad and desperate expression, "Young mistress, I beg you, please give me and this child a way to survive!"

Yun Wanru was being supported by Xi Niang and was about to be taken into the bridal chamber. She was shocked by Wentong's sudden move. She was almost about to lift her hijab.

Mother Cao didn't expect Wentong to rush out and cause trouble, and shouted sternly: "Drag this bitch out quickly."

The servant stepped forward to drag him away. Wentong struggled and shouted: "Young lady, I know that I am of low status. I don't ask for anything else. I just ask you to give me a way to live. I am willing to take my child and spend the rest of my life on Zhuangzi." I will never dare to step into Cao Mansion again.”

Although Yun Wanru was startled, she quickly regained her composure and said, "Let her go."

Cao's mother said anxiously: "Wanru, such a lowly servant is not worth asking. She deliberately ran out to cause trouble. Just drive her away. Don't let her miss the opportunity."

Yun Wanru smiled slightly and said: "Madam, it is not suitable to see blood on a happy day. Besides, the child in her arms is of Cao family blood after all, how can it be left outside?"

When Cao's mother heard this, she thought it made sense and said, "Then what are you going to do with her?"

Yun Wanru thought for a moment and said, "Let her stay in the house. In a few days, I will make her my aunt."

The Cao family and guests couldn't believe her magnanimous behavior. Cao's father stroked his beard and praised: "As expected of a daughter of aristocratic family, she acts in a measured manner. Wanru, you did a good job."

"Thank you for the compliment, Master." Yun Wanru said in a calm tone, "Wanru is doing this for the sake of the Cao family. If this matter gets spread, I'm afraid it will harm the reputation of the Cao family."

Mother Cao nodded in agreement, "Wanru is right, you are more thoughtful."

Wentong looked at Yun Wanru in disbelief. She thought she would be kicked out of the Cao Mansion. Unexpectedly, Yun Wanru would keep her and make her her aunt. She kowtowed and said, "Thank you, young mistress."

After the matter was settled, Yun Wanru followed Cao Yao into the new house with Xiniang's support.
