The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 295 - 292: Not Even Half as Good as Wei Zhaozhao!
The palace held a banquet, once again in honor of General Wei, who had dedicated himself on the battlefield. The officials did not dare to slack off, so they brought their female relatives from home and left early.
For a time, the road leading to the Imperial Palace was terribly congested.
The carriages moved as slowly as turtles.
The scene was nothing short of spectacular.
The carriage from the Ministry of the Imperial Household was prominently present.
Shen Zhiyi leaned lazily against the carriage wall, squinting at her stepsister fiddling with jewelry in front of the mirror.
"Your aunt really has a way of getting what she wants, convincing father to bring you along."
"This is not a marriage-viewing banquet. The people who come are all figures of status, just here to see the world. You should put away any untoward thoughts. Do you really think you can seize the opportunity and marry into a noble family?"
She snorted with a laugh.
"One should recognize their own status."
"If you disgrace the Shen family, let’s see how I’ll deal with you."
The two stepsisters turned pale, angry but not daring to speak.
"Yes."
Shen Zhiyi glanced over: "Not convinced?"
Indeed not convinced.
Apart from being born to a concubine, how were they any worse than Shen Zhiyi?
They were well-behaved, unlike Shen Zhiyi, who only knew how to quarrel with other girls in the Capital and didn’t even have a single close friend!
But they dared not say it.
Shen Zhiyi sneered coldly: "Even if you’re not convinced, hold it in. You just don’t have that fate."
She felt a bit irritated because the Zhou Family would also enter the palace, and she’d have to face them again.
Just as she was thinking this, she heard the voice of a maid outside the carriage.
"Miss, it’s the Zhou Family’s carriage."
Shen Zhiyi suddenly sat up straight and lifted the curtain.
Sure enough, she saw the carriage merging into the main road from another path. The sign of the Ministry of Industry was hanging on the carriage.
But her attention was quickly drawn elsewhere.
On the right front side was the Duke Shun Mansion.
She immediately noticed Yu Tingwan from the Duke Shun Mansion, adorned with elaborate makeup and jewelry.
Yet there wasn’t a trace of vulgarity, but rather an air of nobility.
No wonder the carriage was moving so slowly; it turned out that the Wei Family was also preparing to set out at this time. Many officials intentionally gave way, wanting to let the Duke Shun Mansion’s carriage go first.
Perhaps Yu Tingwan sensed Shen Zhiyi’s gaze and looked over.
Shen Zhiyi was about to wave at her.
"Sister Shen."
Someone called her.
Zhou Yurou sat in a carriage, smiling faintly at her.
"Last time we parted unhappily, and I was distressed about it for quite some time. It was my fault; I shouldn’t have upset you."
The little white flower.
Shen Zhiyi rolled her eyes directly.
Zhou Yurou bit her lip with a troubled look, appearing pitiful. "But I am sincere with Liu Lang."
"Even though he was once your fiancé, Sister Shen, you’ve broken off the engagement, and we should mind our own business."
"Why are you still upset with me? Come on, calm down."
"Otherwise, let me apologize again."
How could Shen Zhiyi, with her fiery temper, listen to this?
Yet, with so many carriages around, quite a few people were watching.
Because of her bad reputation, everyone subconsciously forgot that she was the victim and started whispering.
"What’s going on, is Shen Zhiyi clashing with Zhou Yurou again?"
"What’s so surprising about that? She can’t stand seeing Miss Zhou doing well."
"Even before the Young Master of the Chu Family, the two didn’t get along. That Miss Shen just never had a kind look for Miss Zhou."
"It’s only because Miss Zhou has a good temper, always tolerating her, not getting into conflicts."
These voices were suppressed very low.
But Shen Zhiyi could guess what they were saying.
She was annoyed.
Couldn’t understand why these people were blind and couldn’t see how disgusting Zhou Yurou was.
"Zhou Yurou, if you knew any shame, you would be humble and submissive in front of me."
"Shen Zhiyi!"
The previously shaky Ning Yunling now approached with strong steps.
"Don’t stir up trouble again and bully others."
Shen Zhiyi felt irritated seeing Ning Yunling.
She leaned on the carriage, smiling angrily. "She already has someone, why are you still defending her? She has her Liu Lang, do you need to jump out and uphold justice?"
Seeing Zhou Yurou’s eyes redden.
Ning Yunling felt uncomfortable inside.
He was about to scold when someone patted him on the shoulder.
"Who is it!"
Ning Yunling’s face was quite unpleasant.
Turning around, he saw Yu Tingwan.
At this moment, Ning Yunling couldn’t have guessed that she was scarier than his cousin.
Recalling the previous misunderstanding, Ning Yunling’s expression was somewhat unnatural.
"Sis... Sister-in-law."
Yu Tingwan looked calmly at the carriage sign, then noticed Shen Zhiyi’s irritated appearance and guessed Zhou Yurou’s identity.
As a sister-in-law, she looked at Ning Yunling.
"It’s time to set off, what are you doing running over here."
Ning Yunling: "I have something to deal with, Sister-in-law, please wait."
Yu Tingwan smiled slightly.
"Dealing with what?"
"This is a matter between two young ladies. As a man, no matter how kind-hearted, you shouldn’t get involved."
Everyone knew that Ning Yunling had been protecting the Zhou Family girl over the years.
But Yu Tingwan’s use of the words kind-hearted was very clever.
"Sister-in-law, you don’t know. Shen Zhiyi is making things difficult for the Zhou Family girl again."
Zhou Yurou was always adept, she smiled warmly at Yu Tingwan.
"This must be the General’s wife."
"It’s nothing much, we just had a little quarrel, it’s all my fault."
That schemer, Shen Zhiyi was so angry she was about to get off the carriage.
Yu Tingwan understood and turned to Ning Yunling: "She already said it was her fault, what injustice are you trying to redress?"
Shen Zhiyi: !!
Ning Yunling’s mind was in chaos.
He wanted to say it wasn’t like that.
But Yu Tingwan’s words had a point.
Ning Yunling showed hesitation, not knowing where things went wrong.
Zhou Yurou: ???
No, she had already said that. Shouldn’t it make Shen Zhiyi seem aggressive?
After all, she was from the countryside, not understanding sarcasm!
"This..."
She had just said one word.
Yu Tingwan interrupted lightly: "Miss Zhou."
She patiently asked, "Did Miss Shen make things difficult for you?"
If Zhou Yurou nodded, it would not match her public image.
She used her handkerchief to dab the moisture at the corner of her eyes: "No."
Ning Yunling couldn’t stand seeing her like this.
Shen Zhiyi couldn’t stand it either!
But Yu Tingwan could.
She even found it somewhat contemptible.
This weak posture was a bit too obvious. It couldn’t compare to Wei Zhaozhao by half!
Yu Tingwan didn’t want to get involved.
Nor did she want Ning Yunling to get involved.
She stopped Ning Yunling, who was about to rush forward.
"Did you hear that?"
Ning Yunling: "I heard it!"
Miss Zhou couldn’t even express her grievance!
Ning Yunling could actually understand Shen Zhiyi, after all, her fiancé ran away. Anyone would be angry.
But before Shen Zhiyi’s engagement was broken off, she had nothing to do with that Young Master of the Chu Family.
Zhou Yurou had a good disposition and looks, and it wasn’t her fault for attracting the Young Master’s attention.
In the end, it was the Young Master of the Chu Family who was fickle and caused trouble.
Yu Tingwan: "It’s good that you heard."
"She already said Miss Shen didn’t make things difficult for her."
Ning Yunling: ??
Huh?
Is that... is that what it means?
Seems like it.
Zhou Yurou almost choked at that.
Shen Zhiyi felt totally refreshed!
Truly.
She even started to feel like Yu Tingwan was glowing!
Foolish Ning Yunling was dumbfounded: "But... she cried."
Yu Tingwan thought for a moment, speaking lightly.
"Then that should be due to guilt, after all, it’s not honorable."
