After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 105: There is no man who doesn't cheat

When Rong Peilan and Zhong came out, the ladies were almost all talking about Xu Jiaqian.

Ji Huiwen looked cheerful, but Zhao Yanlin, who always appeared to be a good person, did not look very happy.

There was Wei Chi beside the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion, but there was no sign of Ji Yunzhang.

Rong Peilan asked, "Where is the prince?"

Wei Chi led the somewhat restless horse, "The prince has returned to the military office. He has some things to do and will return home later. The prince asked his subordinates to escort the lady and the young lady back home."

Zhong snorted, "He is good at asking others to do it for him."

Rong Peilan was about to speak when Zhao Yanlin took over.

"Madam, Lin'er feels that Third Brother Ji is very busy with official duties. We are in the backyard of the house, so how can we trouble Third Brother for everything? There are many servants and servants in the house, so we can go back by ourselves."

Rong Peilan looked over and saw that Zhao Yanlin looked very considerate and virtuous.

I don’t know if it’s because of her pregnancy, but she’s more irritable now than before.

She glanced at Zhao Yanlin calmly, and said faster than her brain could think, "In that case, Miss Zhao should go back by herself."

Ok?
Before Zhao Yanlin could react, Rong Peilan took Chen Chun's hand and got into the carriage.

In an instant, everyone got on the bus, leaving only Zhao Yanlin and Ji Huiwen.

No matter how slow Ji Huiwen was, she knew that her cousin had offended her third sister-in-law.

She could now see clearly that although her third sister-in-law was not of high birth, she had been recognized by her second aunt and third brother. Moreover, her third sister-in-law was pregnant. How could her always cautious cousin dare to say such foolish words?

Seeing that the carriage was about to leave, Ji Huiwen quickly climbed onto it.

She wasn't asked to walk back, so she wouldn't be stupid enough to walk back with her cousin.

What's more, she is not her biological cousin, but the niece of her father's second wife, Zhao.

Zhao Yanlin looked at the carriage going away. She was confused. How, how could they all leave...

The residence of Marquis Wenyuan is not too far from the residence of Marquis Xinling, but it still takes some effort to walk back.

What's more, since Zhao Yanlin went to live with her aunt, her life has been completely different from before, and she is no different from the girls in the mansion.

People go in and out in carriages or sedan chairs, so it's impossible to walk such a long distance.

On the way back, Mrs. Zhong looked at her daughter-in-law with a smile on her face.

Rong Peilan was so frightened by the look on her face, "Mother..."

Zhong, "You have always been like a dough. Although you have ideas, they are always roundabout and not direct enough."

"You are not only the young lady of the Xinling Marquis's mansion, but also the wife of the commander-in-chief. You should show some momentum in the future like you do now."

"Those women with impure intentions should be sent away. There is no point in keeping them around to be an eyesore."

Rong Peilan pursed her lips. Zhong was her mother-in-law, not her biological mother, but she could speak to her like this from a mother's perspective.

She raised the corners of her lips slightly and smiled, "Yes, my daughter-in-law knows."

-

When Zhao Yanlin returned to the mansion, it was almost dark. The maid did not leave her any money. She had no habit of carrying money with her, so she didn't even have the money to call a sedan chair.

Zhao Yanlin ran straight to Zhao's yard with tears in her eyes.

Zhao waved her hands in annoyance, "Why are you crying? If you act like this, I'll think something has happened to you. How will others see your aunt?" Zhao had seen many doctors and taken many medicines for the sake of having an heir. She was already over 30 years old. If she didn't give birth soon, she would never have her own children in this life.

She was already in a bad mood after taking the medicine, and her niece crying like that made her feel unlucky.

Seeing Zhao Yanlin's useless look, she couldn't help but scold her, "If you want to cry, go back and cry. Don't be an eyesore here!"

Zhao Yanlin immediately stopped talking.

She has lived here for three or four years, hoping to marry into a wealthy and powerful family through the Xinling Marquis Mansion.

But her aunt Zhao rarely had time to invite her to banquets.

And Mrs. Zhong would not take her, an unrelated cousin living as a guest, with her.

It was only because of her aunt's request that she could go to the Spring Festival Banquet at the Wenyuan Earl's Mansion today.

She thought that those who could attend the banquet at the Earl's Mansion were all from wealthy and powerful families. With so many people, she would always be able to choose a man that suits her needs.

But as soon as the second young lady from the Marquis Wenyuan's mansion came out, all those young masters seemed to be bewitched by her. Not to mention wanting to get to know her, even if she fell, no one would even bother to look at her.

"Aunt, what should I do? Lin'er will be seventeen this year. If she doesn't get married, she will become an old maid."

Zhao rolled her eyes at her, "How could I not know what you are thinking? The one your uncle saw last year was very good in my opinion. He even got promoted a while ago. It was you who didn't want him."

Zhao Yanlin couldn't help but complain in her heart. Her aunt would rather wait until she was in her twenties and marry into a wealthy family as a second wife, but why did she want to marry a lowly official?

The only person she can rely on in Xinling Marquis' Mansion now is her aunt. No matter what, she cannot fall out with her aunt for the time being.

She could only smile awkwardly, "Aunt, that guy is just a yes-man. Lin'er is going to live with someone for the rest of her life, so she naturally wants to find someone who understands her feelings."

Zhao still felt a strong bitter taste in her mouth, so she ate another sweet and sour date.

"Don't try to fool your aunt with these high-sounding words. Just tell me, how about going to the Spring Festival Banquet hosted by Marquis Wenyuan today?"

Zhao Yanlin pursed her lips, "The lady of the baron is not here to see her son. We are almost home, and then Master Xu will go home."

"It's the second young lady from the Xu family who stole the show. There were not many young ladies there today, so I thought I would have more chances. But I didn't expect that the second young lady Xu played a piece of music and these men were bewitched!"

"Second Miss Xu?" Zhao couldn't figure it out, so she said to Zhao Yanlin, "You can't care so much. If you like the Xu family, they will definitely not like you. Why don't you work hard in other areas?"

As she spoke, she glanced at the door and whispered, "Instead of going out to catch big fish, it's better to catch the big fish in this mansion."

Zhao Yanlin naturally understood who her aunt was talking about.

She could only pout helplessly, "The Marquis doesn't like me, and my uncle always mentioned adoption intentionally or unintentionally before, so how could she like us?"

Zhao slapped her head in frustration, "You are so thoughtful on weekdays, but why are you so ineffective at the critical moment?"

"If the prince likes you, why would you care whether she likes it or not?"

"The prince is now a favorite of His Majesty. He is still so young, and his future glory is beyond your imagination."

Zhao Yanlin was indeed tempted, but when she thought that even Ji Huiwen might fail, she dared not take a single step.

Zhao leaned back slightly and said quietly, "Rong is pregnant with twins now. The imperial physician comes to see her every day. Zhong naturally attaches the most importance to her."

As she spoke, she leaned close to Zhao Yanlin's ear and whispered softly.

"There is no man who doesn't cheat."
