The queen is tea-smooth and charming, and she wins the house fight by lying down

Chapter 18: Steady Hatred

After finishing her makeup, Yue Xianhua was in a trance for a moment as she looked at the beautiful woman with her hair tied up in a bun in the mirror.

"Let's go."

She stood up and walked out the door with a wisp of fragrance.

A handsome young man in equally gorgeous clothes followed beside her. Compared to her anxiety, he seemed too calm.

Xiao Yan looked up at his newlywed wife beside him. She was wearing a gold-thread skirt embroidered with peony patterns, a emerald green gauze shawl, and a palace belt with colorful gemstones tied around her waist.

As she walked, her skirt fluttered in the wind, making her look like a fairy, as if she would be blown away by the wind in the next moment.

He subconsciously reached out and grabbed her.

Yue Xianhua's steps faltered, and she almost fell down. She just frowned, but before she could say anything, the "evil guy" got there first: "Don't worry, there's still time."

The young man raised his eyebrows and chuckled at her, so handsome that it was dazzling.

But she felt that he did it on purpose, so she glared at him with watery eyes and pulled her arm back.

Obviously, because of those nightmares, she should be afraid of him.

But after what happened last night, she only remembered the shamelessness of that person when he was obsessed with her.

After walking for a while and passing through the bluestone-paved courtyard, the two finally arrived at the main hall in the front yard of the Duke's Mansion.

As soon as they arrived at the place, Yue Huahua couldn't hold it anymore.

Many people from both the direct and side branches had been waiting for a long time. As soon as the newlyweds stepped in, all kinds of curious eyes came over from all directions.

Even though Yue Xianhua was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment.

Fortunately, she has had a special ability since she was a child: the more nervous she is, the calmer and more natural her facial expression becomes.

When Duke Weiguo saw this scene, he saw that the bride was graceful and dignified, and she faced the scrutiny of everyone without haste or hesitation. She was capable of taking on important tasks!

Thinking of this, a hint of satisfaction and relief flashed in his eyes.

The others only felt that the moment the newlyweds came in, the originally quiet and ordinary hall suddenly became bright.

The golden boy and the jade girl, as beautiful as a painting.

Even Jiang, who hated Xiao Yan the most, had to admit that the two of them were extremely good-looking and no one in the entire Weiguo Mansion could compare to them.

Seeing her stepson, who used to be a scoundrel, acting like a decent person, she couldn't help but smile and said:

"I've heard that the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion is extremely beautiful, and today I see that she is even more beautiful than I can take in. No wonder our Second Young Master is so happy. We are all very curious and couldn't wait to come and see her."

This is a really sarcastic remark. It seems to be praising the new bride's beauty, but in fact it implies that she does not follow the rules and is even late in serving tea.

Yue Xianhua's face turned pale, but before she could react, her left hand was suddenly held. The next moment, a pleasant and mellow boy's voice sounded in her ear with a teasing tone:

"If you are impatient, you don't have to wait. Anyway, today's tea ceremony has nothing to do with you."

These words...

Even Yue Hua, who thought he had experienced a lot, froze all over.

The hall suddenly became quiet, as if one could hear a pin drop.

Wu's well-maintained face twitched suddenly, but she suppressed her anger and asked, "What do you mean, Second Young Master? Are you talking about me..."

"Today is a good day, don't think too much, Second Mother."

Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the young man with a smile, and then he changed his smile and looked serious:

"Grandfather, what my mother wanted most when she was alive was for me to get married. Even though she is no longer around, this cup of tea for her daughter-in-law should be a sign of respect. So I, your grandson, have the guts to bring up my mother's tablet."

Yue Hua was originally surprised by the confrontation between the mother and son, but when she suddenly heard the boy calling her by her nickname, she felt uncomfortable for a moment and subconsciously lowered her head. Meanwhile, Master Xiao, who had wanted to scold Xiao Yan for being unfilial, closed his open mouth again when he heard him mention his late wife.

Every time his ex-wife is mentioned, his father always gets angry. He would shrink if possible and would never seek death.

What's more, there is nothing wrong with drinking daughter-in-law's tea.

Jiang had originally expected her husband to say a few words on her behalf, but when she saw him backing down again, she became angry.

Seeing that my father-in-law's expression was moved and he seemed to agree, I could only bite the bullet and do it myself:

"Father-in-law, today is a big day after all. If I invite my sister... to bring the tablet, I'm afraid it will cause a conflict."

As she spoke, the people below began to whisper.

Thousands of mosquitoes suddenly seemed to rush into the originally quiet hall.

Yue Xianhua couldn't help but raise his head and look at the young man with a straight back and a cold expression beside him.

Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly looked at her and smiled beautifully: "Hey, are you afraid of bumping into someone?"

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to see a hint of pleading in the boy's dark eyes.

Yue Xuanhua: ...

She is looking for trouble on the first day of her marriage. She is really...

"Don't be afraid."

The girl's clear voice flows like a spring, with a gentle smile on her beautiful face. When she looks at you with her eyes, it seems that she is full of trust: "This cup of tea is for me."

The boy was obviously satisfied with her "knowledge".

When he turned around again, his attitude became rogue: "Grandpa, your granddaughter-in-law is not afraid anymore, just agree quickly."

Finally, under Wu's pleading gaze, Duke Weiguo, who was sitting at the main seat, nodded and said, "Then please come up."

Wu felt her body go limp. If there hadn't been a chair leaning against her, she would have fallen down.

After a while, an old lady with a familiar face walked in holding a black lacquered tablet.

It's so ridiculous, but no one says anything.

It's because the Second Young Master Xiao is notorious for his absurd behavior and excessive pettiness. It's fine if you just go along with him, but if you insist on going against him, he won't be polite when he comes to settle the score with you one day.

As the tablet of the ex-wife comes in, the position will change accordingly.

Jiang, who was originally sitting on one side of Master Xiao, was forced to get up and move to the other side.

It’s not for any other reason, just because she is the concubine that Master Xiao married in later!
Even if she is a co-wife, she must follow the principle of first come first served, and when that man appears, she must always give way.

Seeing the tablet of the late wife being placed, the vengeful man spoke casually, poking at Jiang's wound desperately:

"Second mother, don't worry. It's just tea for the wife. When you get married, you can drink whatever you want."

Wu didn't say anything, her expression was as calm as a clay sculpture, as if she was not angered by Xiao Yan.
-
Finally, it was time to serve tea.

First, Duke Weiguo, Xiao Yan kowtowed, and Yue Yanhua offered tea.

Although there had been some minor setbacks just now, Duke Weiguo was still very happy to see the beautiful couple in front of him.

But in Wu's eyes, this was biased, absolutely biased!
Duke Weiguo presented a very generous red envelope and said to the new bride:
"Before you got married, I heard that you were virtuous, well-educated and well-mannered. It is a blessing for this boy to marry you. You two should live a good life in the future. You are sensible, so you should persuade him more. This is a little gift from your grandfather, take it. I wish you two a happy marriage and a son soon."

Hearing the words of the Duke of Wei, Yue Hua's heart was slightly moved, and she said obediently: "Thank you for your trust, Grandfather. I will definitely do my best."
