Chapter 740 I Will Never Let My Sister-in-law Suffer
There was a hint of annoyance in Meng Yunlan's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
She still had a gentle look on her face. "Sister-in-law, why bother with my cousin? She didn't say anything, so why did you call her a bad person? You even cursed her ancestors! This is the first time I've seen your ability to curse people. It's really eye-opening!"
"You didn't say anything? Miss Qiao just said that I was trying to please my elder brother with bad intentions. How can you still say you didn't say anything? Sister-in-law, I understand that you are partial to your own cousin, but it's not good to confuse right and wrong like this, right?"
Shen Wantang clapped his hands as he spoke, looking as if he had suddenly realized something. "Oh, look at me, I almost forgot that Sister-in-law and Miss Qiao are cousins, and their maternal family has the same ancestor!"
"Oh, sister-in-law, I didn't mean it. I didn't scold you. Don't take it to heart. I treat you as my own, so I was a little blunt."
"You and Miss Qiao are definitely different. She is uneducated and talks nonsense. My sister-in-law comes from a prominent family, so her manners and upbringing are naturally excellent. From the trivial incident of my sister-in-law delivering bird's nest soup to Qianhan yesterday, you can see how good my sister-in-law is."
The expression on Meng Yunlan's face could hardly be maintained, and even the look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Wantang became sharp.
Shen Wantang felt relieved when she saw her expression change. She smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell my sister-in-law that I asked the kitchen to make some bird's nest soup last night and sent a bowl to my brother. He seemed to like it very much, so I plan to make some more tonight and personally deliver it to my brother's room!"
Meng Yunlan's expression finally broke, and his voice sank. "What do you mean, sister-in-law? Are you provoking me? As a sister-in-law, you ran into my eldest uncle's room. Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about? I didn't know that the daughter raised by the Shen family was so shameless!"
Shen Wantang wasn't angry at all, and still smiled: "Oh, sister-in-law, you misunderstood me. How could I be provoking you? I'm just learning from you, why are you still angry?"
"You set such a good example for me yesterday by giving Qianhan the blood bird's nest that my mother-in-law gave you. You, as the eldest sister-in-law, care about Qianhan more than I do. I feel so ashamed, so I quickly boiled the blood bird's nest that my mother-in-law gave me and gave it to my eldest brother to eat!"
"Sister-in-law, from now on, I will treat my brother the same way you treat Qianhan. Whatever Qianhan has, my brother will have too. I will never let you suffer any loss!"
Meng Yunlan was choked and couldn't speak for a long time.
Qiao Zhiyu, who was standing by, felt relieved when she saw that Meng Yunlan was left speechless.
She didn't expect that Shen Wantang was so eloquent. When she was in front of Gu Qianling yesterday, she spoke very little and even her reactions were very slow. She snatched her umbrella, but she didn't react at all, and didn't seem angry. She was like a piece of wood.
She thought Shen Wantang was from a humble background, had rarely been out, and was not good at dealing with people and things outside!
But I made a mistake!
However, Meng Yunlan was speechless after being confronted, and Qiao Zhiyu naturally could not pretend not to see it. After all, before coming today, Meng Yunlan had already said that many things that were inconvenient to say out loud needed to be said by her, her cousin.
Whenever Meng Yunlan plays the good guy, Qiao Zhiyu will play the bad guy for her - it was like this in the past and it is still like this now, she has long been accustomed to it.
"Shen Wantang, I told you you had bad intentions! I was right!"
Qiao Zhiyu's face was full of anger, half of which was pretended, and half was really unhappy, because Shen Wantang actually wanted to go to Gu Qianling's room to bring him food, which made her sick.
"Do you really need to worry about whether my brother-in-law eats bird's nest? My cousin is much more caring than you are. The bird's nest she has is many times better than yours! Humph, let me tell you, my brother-in-law has long been tired of eating bird's nest. No matter how much you give him, he won't even look at it, let alone eat it! Put away your dirty thoughts, it won't work on my brother-in-law!"
Shen Wantang sneered, "Miss Qiao seems to know everything about her brother-in-law's preferences. So, have you been secretly paying attention to him? I think you're the one with dirty thoughts about him, right? Otherwise, why would you have insisted on dragging me to find him yesterday?"
Qiao Zhiyu glared at him. "You're talking nonsense! It was clearly you who wanted to go find my brother-in-law, and you deliberately dragged me in as a cover, and now you're turning the tables?! You're so shameless!"
Shen Wantang glanced her up and down, then taunted her, "Who's the one with the shamelessness? Why don't we go and talk to Big Brother about this? You stole my umbrella, gave it to Big Brother, and then said you went there specifically to give him the umbrella. That shouldn't be wrong, right?"
Qiao Zhiyu felt uneasy, but fearing Meng Yunlan would blame her, she could only bite the bullet and say, "My brother-in-law is so busy, and you're going to argue with him over such a small matter. Isn't that delaying his work? I think you just want to take advantage of this opportunity to get close to my brother-in-law, so you came up with this stupid idea!"
Shen Wantang shook her head. "Miss Qiao, you've wronged me like this. Doesn't your conscience hurt? Or do you actually have no conscience at all?"
"You have no conscience! My cousin treats you so well, yet you secretly want to seduce her husband. You are shameless!"
"Why is sister-in-law so nice to me? Didn't sister-in-law send the bird's nest soup to Gu Qianhan's study? She didn't even give me a bite! Do you think I should be grateful to her?"
"Oh, it's just a bowl of bird's nest soup, Shen Wantang, why are you so obsessed with it and so greedy? If you want it, just buy it yourself. You can't afford it, right?"
Shen Wantang burst out laughing. "Miss Qiao, just because you can't afford it, does that mean others can't either? Didn't I send you a bowl of bird's nest soup last night? Oh, and by the way, I also specially sent you a new dress made of gold brocade. Do you know how many bird's nests you can buy with that dress? Miss Qiao, do you know?"
As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at Qiao Zhiyu's new clothes with disdain, and then said, "That dress is much more valuable than the one you're wearing. Not only is the material of yours ordinary, the pattern is also old, and the style has been outdated for many years!"
"Tsk tsk, this dress is too ugly. It makes me look ten years older. It's far inferior to the one I have! Miss Qiao, you might not know that the servants in the Duke's Mansion don't wear this kind of thing anymore!"
"If you ask me, Miss Qiao, you should throw away this dress right away. After all, you are the eldest sister-in-law's cousin, and you are also the master. It's really embarrassing for the master to dress worse than the servants!"
Qiao Zhiyu's face looked a little ugly. She already hated the clothes she was wearing, and now she hated it even more.
But she didn't dare to go against Meng Yunlan's wishes. Meng Yunlan asked her to wear this piece of clothing, so she had to wear it. She could only secretly hide the piece of clothing that Shen Wantang gave her.
