Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 189 An Yurong

Why did Wen Qingwan know that An Yurong didn't come? Because she had heard several sisters from the An family complaining about her.

"It's all Sixth Sister's fault. If she hadn't said that she would rather not enter the palace and give her place to Ninth Sister, we wouldn't have been dragged into the palace."

An Yulian, the eldest daughter of Aunt An's third brother, pouted and complained in dissatisfaction. They got up before dawn to dress up.

It was just dawn when they arrived at the gate of Marquis Weiwu's Mansion. Each of them, accompanied by two maids, sat nervously in the carriage, not daring to knock on the door.

After all, Marquis Weiwu's reputation is terrifying outside, and they are really scared inside.

But their grandmother and mother both wanted them to enter the palace, and they did not dare to refuse, so they had to come here and wait.

"Eighth sister, since we are here, don't be unhappy. If we anger the Marquis' wife, it will be difficult for us as aunts."

Miss An Jiu advised in a low voice that she also did not approve of Sixth Sister's behavior, but Sixth Sister was her sister after all.

"Eighth sister, do you want to be with Sixth sister? Are you afraid that Seventh sister is not able to take good care of you?" Miss An Qi joked.

"Why would Seventh Sister think like this? Lian'er believes in Seventh Sister, I just can't stand what Sixth Sister did.

Even though the sixth sister is the oldest among the unmarried sisters in our An family, the ninth sister should be allowed to go with grandma!"

"Eighth sister, it's harmless for us to talk in private. Don't say anything when you see the Marquis later."

"Seventh sister, why can't we speak? Didn't grandmother ask us to get closer to the Marquis's wife?" Miss An Jiu asked in confusion.

"Grandmother wants us to get closer to the Marquis' wife, but you know that the more you talk, the more mistakes you make."

"Okay, I'll listen to Seventh Sister in everything. It is said that the Marquis's wife is as beautiful as a fairy, so it won't be a loss for us to enter the palace with her."

“Let’s not talk about whether it’s a loss or not, but Sixth Sister followed Grandma, but her eyes were filled with pain and struggle.

There was a look of forced forbearance on her face, as if we had forced her into the palace.

She looked at us with concern and concession, but when I really wanted to accept it.

Her eyes were red again, tears were hanging on her eyelashes, and she looked so broken, as if I was bullying her.

"..."

Miss An Qi and Miss Jiu didn't know how to respond at this time!
They didn't think so until they heard what their eighth sister (older sister) said. Now they recalled what their sixth sister did last night.

Wen Qingwan listened to the eighth daughter of the An family complaining about An Yurong, while also listening to the worried advice of the Xiao family brothers and sisters.

"Sister-in-law, do you really not need us to wait for you at the palace gate?" Xiao Lichuan asked seriously.

Although he is very busy, it is his duty to protect his elder sister-in-law. Without his elder sister-in-law, he would still be fighting crickets in the house and would not be in his current situation.

"If something really happens, you can't help me at the palace gate. Anyway, you don't have to go see the girl now, so why waste time!"

"Then sister-in-law, you must be careful. If anything happens to you, our eldest brother will definitely skin us alive when he comes back." Xiao Yi said honestly.

"Sister-in-law, if the girls in the An Mansion make mistakes, just ignore them and say that they insisted on following you into the palace." Xiao Libo said cruelly.

"..."

The Xiao brothers were originally very worried about their eldest sister-in-law entering the palace alone, fearing that others would bully her.

Seeing that Aunt An's nieces were with their eldest sister-in-law, they became even more worried, fearing that those sisters would cause trouble for their eldest sister-in-law.

The brothers and sisters insisted on seeing their sister-in-law off to the gate, as they also wanted to meet those girls.

"Don't worry, for your sake, sister-in-law will be careful. If the An sisters really want to show off and cause trouble, sister-in-law will let Jinliu throw them back to the An Mansion."

Wen Qingwan had already reached the gate as she spoke. Seeing the carriage from the An Mansion, she told her brothers and sisters around her, "Go and do your own things."

The An sisters stared at the door while talking. Just when they were speechless, the door slowly opened.

A group of men and women dressed in gorgeous clothes walked out. All the men were handsome and looked very noble.

The young men in the Marquis's mansion are handsome, and the women are very beautiful. They all have outstanding looks and extraordinary temperament.

They walked out of the gate, and the morning light shining on them was like a beautiful painting.

Who on earth spread the rumor that the Marquis of Weiwu was so poor that they only had two meals a day, and one of them was plain porridge.

Will you not be able to eat enough if you are dressed so gorgeously?
The three girls from the An family couldn't help but gasp. The momentum of this group of people was as strong as a mountain and as powerful as the sea, which made them feel in awe.

They originally wanted to get off the carriage and greet the marquis' wife, but the scene frightened them so much that their legs and hands became weak, and An Yulian loosened her grip on the curtain.

"The Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Miss of the An family are sitting in the carriage, right? You don't need to be polite. The carriage you are sitting in will be replaced by the driver of our Marquis' Mansion. For now, all your actions will be under the command of this lady."

The clear, pleasant and particularly beautiful voice made the three sisters in the carriage feel much more at ease.

The three sisters of the An family stuttered as they thanked him: "Thank you very much, Madam Hou. We will definitely be obedient."

Although the Xiao brothers and sisters did not see the An sisters, they did not sound like nosy people.

Only then did they watch their sister-in-law's carriage go away with peace of mind, and then went about their business.

The Marquis of Weiwu’s Mansion was not far from the imperial palace. After all, it was the emperor’s close minister two hundred years ago, so it didn’t take long to reach the palace gate.

Although the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet was not grand, there was still a constant stream of carriages in front of the palace gate, and the wheels made crisp sounds as they rolled over the bluestone pavement.

One after another, magnificent carriages rushed to the gate of the palace, like a gorgeous painting unfolding before everyone's eyes.

The carriages parked at the gate of the palace were also based on the status of their owners. The closer to the palace, the more noble their status.

Ministers who knew that they were of low status would set out earlier with their families because they had a much longer journey to go.

For example, the old lady of Earl Huai'en's Mansion, along with her two daughters-in-law and her most beloved granddaughter An Yurong, got off the carriage long ago and walked into the palace.

An Yurong raised her eyes and looked at the magnificent golden palace wall in front of her. The dazzling sunlight made her dazzled.

Two gorgeous carriages pulled by four horses whizzed past them, stirring up a gust of wind, but fortunately no dust.

The body of the car is inlaid with exquisite jewels and gold and silver decorations, sparkling with charming light.

An Yurong asked softly, "Grandma, whose carriage is this? Aren't you afraid of hurting someone?"

Madam An didn't recognize her either. The enthusiastic person traveling with her smiled and said, "This lady is attending a palace banquet for the first time. How could anyone get hurt at the palace gate? In front of her are the eldest princess and her husband, and behind her are the prince and his wife."

The people who were traveling with her looked at An Yurong with inexperienced eyes, which made her feel ashamed.

"It turns out to be the carriage of the eldest princess' family. No wonder it is so luxurious." The second daughter-in-law of the An family exclaimed to ease her daughter's embarrassment.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the An family looked as if she had nothing to do with the matter, and she carefully supported the old lady and walked in front. Then two more luxurious carriages pulled by three horses passed by them, showing the noble status of their owners.

The pedestrian was explaining to his companions that this was the carriage of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, and that was the carriage of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion...

Everyone who was listening looked at the carriage with envy, and at the same time looked at the official who was speaking with admiration, thinking that he knew a lot.

At this moment, a carriage pulled by two horses, followed closely by a luxurious carriage pulled by one horse, passed by them.

Although the carriage in front has a simple and elegant body, the curtains on the carriage are embroidered with gorgeous patterns, exuding a noble atmosphere.

"Daddy, Mommy, look, how can a carriage pulled by one horse go in front..." A young boy said in a loud voice.

But he was interrupted by the kind and talkative passerby, "Oh, which lady is bringing her poor relatives to the palace to show the world?"

"Why does this lord say that?"

"Don't you know? The carriages parked in front are all for officials of the first rank or above, and are pulled by more than two horses."

"Excuse me, sir, it's not that some family in the mansion doesn't have a horse, so it's pulled by a single horse."

"This lady may not know that the carriage in front is that of the wife of Marquis Weiwu. Marquis Weiwu is killing enemies on the front line, and His Majesty has been rewarding him continuously recently."

Jiang Penzi touched his chin and answered quickly. He was in a good mood. Although he always looked down on Marquis Cheng'en, he truly admired Marquis Weiwu.

His daughter is already engaged to the fourth son of the Xiao family, and he knows very well that the Xiao family is now richer than the average aristocratic family.

Jiang Penzi was not jealous of his poor relatives because his future son-in-law, Young Master Xiao Si, did not take the opportunity to enter the palace to increase his presence like other playboys.

Just like his daughter, she was unwilling to follow him into the palace to attract other men. Engaged men and women should be self-aware.

If the emperor had not specially invited him, he would not have been qualified to attend the palace banquet based on his rank, but his daughter did not want to enter the palace to show off at all.

"Oh, I've seen something new. The one pulled by that horse must be a poor relative who is begging for money."

"Yes, yes, it must be a poor relative. Tsk tsk tsk, the requirements of this palace banquet are quite high. This poor relative is going to be lucky."

“How come you see?”

"The people entering the palace this time are either rich or noble. The poor relatives have broadened their horizons. Isn't this a great journey?"

"Hahaha...Look at that carriage. It shouldn't be that poor. It looks luxurious."

"Let's not talk about whether he's poor or not, his status is definitely not enough!"

An Yurong stared at the carriage behind with wide eyes. That was the carriage belonging to their An Mansion.

She suppressed her jealousy and said with a smile, "Grandma, look at my seventh sister and the others, why don't they stop and let you sit down?"

"Yu'er, don't talk nonsense. Xiaoqi and the others are sitting in the carriage, how can they see us?" Old Madam An said in a low voice.

She has always been very concerned about her reputation. Others said that the carriage was a gift from a poor relative, and she didn't want others to know that her granddaughter was sitting in the carriage.

At this time, Mrs. An felt that her seventh granddaughter was very sensible. If she stopped rashly, she would be embarrassed to sit on it and would definitely be laughed at by everyone.

In fact, the three sisters in the carriage were not sensible, but they were frightened by the scene.

They had participated in palace banquets several times before, and they always got off the carriage and walked from a long distance away.

But this time the person driving the carriage was the coachman from the Marquis's Mansion, and they did not dare to shout even when the carriage did not stop. They could only sit in the carriage trembling with fear and not dare to look outside.

"Grandma~"

An Yurong called out to her grandmother in grievance. In the past, when she acted like this at home, she would immediately receive sympathy and comfort from her grandmother and parents.

But now…all she got was Madam An’s cold warning look, “Walk carefully.”

"..."

An Yurong gritted her teeth in jealousy but dared not make a sound, because she was never competitive in front of others and was as gentle as a chrysanthemum.

As the carriage in front slowly stopped, the eldest princess and her family, dressed in luxurious clothes, slowly walked out of the carriage, their majestic demeanor revealed unparalleled power.

Next, two members of the Duke's Mansion got off the carriage one after another, and a little further away, the carriage of the Marquis of Weiwu Mansion was parked.

A woman with a woman's hair combed in a woman's style and wearing the latest style of flowing cloud brocade got out of the carriage. She had a beautiful face and charming eyes, like a fairy descending to earth.

Then two maids came down, and she stood there quietly waiting for the three girls in the carriage behind to come up to her.

Wen Qingwan said with a smile on her face: "Don't be afraid, young ladies of the An family. If anything happens, this lady will take care of it for you."

"Thank you, Madam Hou." The three An Qi sisters thanked in unison.

When they saw that the marquis's maids were walking with their heads held high, they immediately raised their heads and chests and followed Wen Qingwan towards the palace gate.

The wife of the marquis can bring a maid into the palace, but the sisters of the An family cannot bring maids into the palace.

The three sisters felt that the Marquis' wife was not only beautiful but also very approachable, and they must not embarrass her.

An Yurong looked at her sisters from a distance, walking ahead of her with a pace that ignored all relatives. "Grandma, look at them."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the An family looked at the straight back of her third daughter and realized that her daughter could be so imposing!
It was all Yurong's fault for suppressing them in the mansion all the time, which made them cower in fear. She sighed quietly and decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Miss Sixth looks unhappy. Are you envious of Xiaojiu and the others? You said yesterday that you wanted to follow the Marquis' wife into the palace. Why did you change your mind in the end? Otherwise, you could have gone in a long time before us."

"Aunt... Rong'er will naturally give in to her younger sisters." An Yurong said lightly, giving people a feeling of being at peace with the world.

Doctor An saw that An Yurong always liked to put on this attitude, and then looked aggrieved and pitiful, which made people want to pity her.

She said sarcastically, "Sixth Miss, do you really want to give in? You know the strength of the Marquis' Mansion, don't you?"

Seeing her precious daughter being bullied by her eldest sister-in-law, the second wife said angrily, "Does the eldest sister-in-law have to distort the facts like this?"

"We're almost at the gate of the palace, why are you still making such a fuss?" the old lady scolded in a low voice.

Soon it was their turn to go to the palace gate for inspection. An Yurong had seen the marquis's wife and her sisters go there quickly.

Why does it take so long to interrogate them?
She didn't dare to say anything at this time, but she had accumulated endless grievances in her heart, so her expression was naturally not so good.

"Don't you want to enter the palace? Why do you look so unhappy?" the guard who was checking asked with a stern face.

"No, my daughter has been timid since she was young." Mrs. An said flatteringly.

An Yurong raised her eyes and saw that her grandmother's eyes were full of coldness when she looked at her. Did her grandmother no longer like her?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she became more panicked than ever before, so panicky that it became difficult for her to breathe.
