Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 498: The eldest daughter-in-law of a wealthy family (20)

Zhao Ying's beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened.

She has always been favored at home, and even Liu Shuyu, who has always been self-admiring, is quite kind to her.

Not to mention that Fu Huaiying used to be almost obedient to her and had never spoken to her in such a tone and attitude.

The gap was too big, and Zhao Ying's situation became very embarrassing at this moment.

Although the old lady did not agree with Zhao Ying's idea at first, Fu Huaiying's refusal made the old lady dissatisfied.

It's just a matter of a word to bring someone with you. What's more, Zhao Ying and Wei Changheng are an engaged couple. What's wrong with going to her future husband's house for a small gathering with her sister-in-law?

But before the old lady could say anything, Zhao Ying spoke first.

Being humiliated in front of so many people, she was furious: "If you don't want to go, then don't go! The eldest princess is just giving you face by inviting you, why are you acting like a marquis's wife? You're just a concubine... Do you really think you're a marquis' wife?"

As soon as the words fell, even the old lady was stunned.

Everyone present more or less looked down on Fu Huaiying's status as a bastard, but no one would say it out loud.

Everyone was used to talking through a veil, but Zhao Ying directly tore off the veil.

No one spoke for a moment.

The next second, amidst the silence, Zhao Su's thunderous and angry voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard:

"What did you say?"

The expression on Zhao Su's face at this moment can be described as ugly.

His already sharp eyes now held a cold light like iron, which sent a chill down her spine when it fell on Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying didn't expect Zhao Su to suddenly come to Jing'an Hall. Her heart was pounding in her chest, and she quickly looked at her mother.

The old lady was about to say something to smooth things over, but was interrupted by Zhao Su:

"Zhao Ying, repeat what you just said."

Zhao Ying bit her lower lip, feeling a little scared.

Her elder brother usually never smiles, and at this moment, the corners of his lips are tightly pursed into a downward arc, as if even the beard on his temples is majestic.

Zhao Su had always known that Zhao Ying had been spoiled too much by the old lady, but he had never expected that Zhao Ying would speak so arrogantly to his elder sister-in-law, his words showing his arrogance and lack of manners.

"Xun Zhi, Ying'er..."

"Zhao Ying, I'm talking to you." Zhao Su interrupted the old lady again. His low voice was like a mountain pressing on Zhao Ying. His eagle eyes were fixed on Zhao Ying, and anger was surging in his eyes.

Zhao Ying was frightened. She bit her lower lip tightly and tears welled up in her eyes.

"I...I'm clearly telling the truth!" Zhao Ying held back her tears and said to Fu Huaiying, "Sister-in-law, I only recognize Fu Shuyue!"

There was no expression on Fu Huaiying's face. He was neither angry nor sad. He just looked at Zhao Ying as if he was a clown.

When Zhao Su looked over, he saw that Fu's eyebrows were drooping, and her face showed no emotion, as if she was used to this kind of thing.

It seems that this is not the first time she has been offended by Zhao Ying.

Zhao Su was extremely disappointed with Zhao Ying. The expression on his face gradually became restrained. People who knew him knew that he was really angry.

If Zhao Suruo was really angry, even the old lady would not dare to beg for mercy for her daughter.

"You offended my eldest sister-in-law with your words, and you still don't repent. You don't have the manners of a daughter of a marquisate." Zhao Su said in a cold tone, glancing at the pale Zhao Ying.

"Fu is a Minglu from the Marquis' Mansion. She is my wife, Zhao Su. If you disrespect her, you are disrespecting me."

"You're getting married this autumn. If you marry into the Wei family with this kind of personality, others will think that we, the Dingbei Marquisate, don't value propriety, righteousness, and shame, and have raised someone who flatters the powerful and bullies the weak!"

Although Zhao Su was usually serious and solemn, he seldom spoke harshly to his younger brothers and sisters, especially Zhao Ying, and he had never spoken harshly to her.

Even Chu Yuexiang, who was watching the show from the side, was a little afraid that Zhao Su would punish them while he was at it.

She glanced at Liu Shuyu inconspicuously and saw that she was obviously frightened and her face was pale.

The person involved, Zhao Ying, was so frightened that she stood there motionless, tears streaming down her face.

"Come here! Take her back to her own courtyard and have her copy the 'Instructions for Women' twenty times. She can come out when she finishes. If she doesn't finish, there's no point in getting married."

It was like being struck by five thunderbolts, making Zhao Ying tremble all over.

"Brother! Brother, Ying'er was wrong!" Zhao Ying finally cried out: "Mother! Mother, please help me! I don't want to be grounded!"

Copy the "Nujie" twenty times...

How long will it take to copy this!

If the other noble ladies in the neighborhood knew about this, they would definitely laugh at her for being grounded and punished with copying before getting married!

The old lady couldn't bear to see her daughter crying so pitifully, so she immediately looked at Fu Huaiying, wanting Fu Huaiying to speak for Zhao Ying. Perhaps if Fu Huaiying spoke up, Zhao Su would have a way out and would not have to be punished so severely.

But Fu Huaiying didn't even look at anyone, just lowered his head and drank tea.

The old lady was very dissatisfied with Fu Huaiying for a while, so she had to speak up herself: "Xun Zhi, Ying'er was just confined to her house before, and now she is learning how to be a housekeeper from Yue Xiang. This..."

Chu Yuexiang was startled when her name was suddenly called out. She immediately looked at Zhao Su, fearing that Zhao Su would also find out about her previous disrespect towards Huai Ying.

Zhao Su's tone was icy, "Mother, there's no need to plead for her. She needs to be punished severely, otherwise she might make a big mistake in the future. Wait until she corrects her behavior, and then she can learn how to be a housekeeper!"

When Zhao Ying was brought back to Yingchun Courtyard, Zhao Su's eyes fell on his two sisters-in-law.

In the past, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhao Su rarely looked directly at Chu Yuexiang and Liu Shuyu, but at this moment his eyes swept over the two of them.

"The order of seniority must not be disrupted. I hope everyone will set an example and the same thing will not happen again."

These words were obviously meant to warn Chu Yuexiang and Liu Shuyu.

The old lady sat on the high seat with a very ugly expression on her face.

Zhao Su's words were undoubtedly a slap in her face. After all, everyone in the mansion acted and treated others based on her attitude.

Zhao Su left after he finished speaking.

After this happened, the old lady had no intention of keeping them to lecture her, so she waved her hand and told them to go back.

After leaving Jing'an Hall, Liu Shuyu left quickly. Chu Yuexiang followed Fu Huaiying and said with a smile:

"Sister-in-law is so lucky. You have the support of the Marquis. No one will dare to neglect you anymore."

Fu Huaiying smiled faintly: "If I need others to support me so that no one dares to neglect me, then does it mean that this mansion is full of people who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak, as the Marquis said?"

Chu Yuexiang choked for a moment, and then Fu Huaiying smiled again and said, "But I believe that my second brother's wife is definitely not that kind of person, right?"

Chu Yuexiang's smile was somewhat forced: "Of course, who would dare to neglect the Marquis's wife?"

After Fu Huaiying left, Chu Yuexiang said to the maid beside her, "I never thought that one day the Marquis would be so furious over her."

"Normally, she's so quiet, I thought she was just a piece of cake. But you saw it just now. She started the argument, and she didn't say a word."

"Maybe my previous cautious nature was just an act."

"In short, from now on, her affairs must be dealt with first, otherwise it will be seen as 'stepping on the powerful and praising the weak.'"
