Chapter 25 Rumors

Shu Ting Ting, seeing that Lady Shu was not willing to stand by her side, and after being scolded by her own mother and younger sister, left in a huff…

After returning home, entered the main courtyard but didn’t see his wife coming to greet him. Inside, Lady Shu acted as if she didn’t see him, so he approached and asked, “Who has upset my wife?”

“Hmph! How do you know it’s not you?”

Jin Yi reflected for a moment and replied, “With my understanding and sensitivity, how could I possibly upset my wife!”

Lady Shu playfully hit Jin Yi and then became serious, saying, “Today, Ting Ting came back and blamed Wanwan, feeling that Wanwan’s actions have caused her to be criticized by others!”

Upon hearing this, Jin Yi’s expression also turned serious. The temperament of the eldest daughter was becoming more…

“I suddenly thought today, have we spoiled Ting Ting too much?” Lady Shu felt a bit melancholic.

Seeing Lady Shu upset, Jin Yi comforted her, “Next time, I’ll bring Ting back and talk to her.”

“But Ting is already grown up. As parents, as long as we treat our children well, how they ultimately turn out is beyond our control. They have to walk their own path in the future.”

Jin Yi then asked, “Is Wanwan doing okay?”

Lady Shu nodded and sighed, “After going through this incident, Wanwan has indeed changed! You don’t know, today I was so nervous. Ting Ting was complaining, and suddenly Wanwan came in. I didn’t stop Ting Ting, and she spoke her mind openly. I was afraid that Wanwan wouldn’t be able to handle it. But surprisingly, she didn’t feel sad or pitiful at all. Instead, she boldly confronted her sister!”

Lady Shu seemed somewhat proud as she spoke.

Jin Yi nodded, “That’s my daughter, Shu Yuwan!”

“Since Yuwan can handle it, you don’t need to feel too upset.”

Lady Shu nodded, “It’s fortunate that Shu Yucheng, Shu Yuyang, and the two daughters-in-law can understand Yuwan. I’m not be worried.”

“But suddenly, there are many rumors outside, saying that the Shu family is arrogant and even involving a royal princess! It must be the Marquis’s Mansion causing trouble behind the scenes!” Lady Shu said indignantly.

“No problem. Since I decided to include Wenyue in the Shu family records, I’ve been prepared for the Marquis’s Mansion to cause trouble.”

“What does the master plan to do? This not only tarnishes the reputation of the Shu family’s daughters but also implicates a royal princess. I’m afraid even the royal family might not feel comfortable. Although no one from the Shu family has come looking for trouble, there are probably many who are complaining.”

“Now that there are rumors, have someone from the mansion stir things up at the Marquis’s Mansion. Say that the Shu family is elevating their daughter higher than a royal princess, implying that the Shu family is harboring rebellious intentions!”

“What?” Lady Shu was taken aback.

Jin Yi explained, “If the Shu family rebels, it would be a joke to the Emperor. But by making the situation bigger, I can bring it up to the Emperor.”

“Furthermore, once the rumors of rebellion spread, people’s attention won’t be focused on the reputation of the Shu family’s daughters.”

“Alright, I’ll follow the master’s orders and take care of it.”

After Shu Yuyang and Shu Yucheng returned home, they each heard their respective wives recount the incident.

Tang said, “Elder sister was a bit harsh today! It’s fortunate that our younger sister is stronger now than before; otherwise, she might have been upset for a long time. Facing a series of changes and being criticized by her own family, if it were me, I might not have been able to face it calmly.”

After some thought, she sighed, “Younger sister is probably just putting on a brave front, and she might not be as calm as she appears.”

After listening, Shu Yuyang picked up a military book and headed to the Qingzhu Courtyard.

“I’ll go check!”

“Miss is currently with the young miss” Qing He said into Yuwans two brothers

Qing Dai welcomed the two into the small hall, and Shu Yuwan had also come out.

She smiled, “Why are both brothers here together?”

Seeing her sister’s normal expression, Shu Yuyang and Shu Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief. They didn’t want to criticize their elder sister and instead tried to cheer up their sister.

“You said you wanted to read military and historical books. It’s been a while since I gave you that one last time, so I found another good one for you to look at.”

Shu Yuyang was delighted to receive the book, which turned out to be “The Six Secret Teachings.”

“Thank you, big brother!”

Shu Yuyang accepted the book gratefully. Shu Yucheng then approached and said, “Sister, I have something good for you too!”

He raised the parrot in his hand.

The parrot had bright plumage and was very beautiful. It stared at Shu Yuyang in the cage and cleverly chirped, “Sister, sister…”

“What a smart parrot!” Shu Yuyang laughed.

“Of course, this parrot is just like me!” Shu Yucheng said proudly.

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

“Thank you, second brother! My second brother is indeed clever!”

Shu Yucheng felt comforted by his sister’s words, realizing how lovely and adorable his sister was.

Shu Yuyang knew that the two brothers had come to see her specially after hearing about today’s events.

She said to her brothers, “Having two brothers, I am truly happy. Since my return after the divorce, not only do I have my parents and you to protect me, but my two sisters-in-law also treat me and Wenyue very well. So, for minor matters, I don’t mind at all.”

“As long as you all are safe and sound, even if elder sister scolds me every day, I am still very happy!”

Shu Yuyang raised his hand and gently patted his sister’s head.

He couldn’t criticize his elder sister, even though he disagreed with her actions. He could only try his best to treat his sister well.

“As long as I’m here, I will always protect you and Wenyue.”

Shu Yucheng added, “Yes, sister, my brother and I will always protect you and Wenyue. You will always be my beloved sister! Whether it’s the rumors outside or what elder sister says, you don’t need to worry about it.”

Shu Yuyang nodded, “Brothers, rest assured, I will also protect you both.”

Shu Yuyang and Shu Yucheng both smiled, showing that they weren’t bothered by the situation, but still solemnly nodded in agreement.

Shu Yuyang smiled along with them.

After spending some time with her sister, the brothers didn’t stay long and left together.

“Big brother, the Marquis’s Mansion is really bullying people! I really want to go and teach that Shaoyu a lesson!”

“The Anding Marquis’s Mansion is a family of military generals, and we are a family of civil officials. Do you want to compare fists with them?” Shu Yuyang asked.

“In that case, big brother, what should we do?”

A cold light flashed in Shu Yuyang’s eyes, “There are many ways to make them pay!”

…

After visiting Wenyue for a while and seeing that she was still asleep, Shu Yuyang called Qing Dai and instructed, “Pay close attention to the situation outside in the coming days.”

Shu Yuyang went to check on Wenyue for a while and found her still sleeping. She then called Qing Dai and instructed, “Pay close attention to the situation outside in the coming days.”
