Chapter 715 Banquet(2/3)
Moreover, this sentence was obviously made knowingly.
Wen Renwan put Yu'er down, stood up, and saluted the female elder.
The female elder in green pretended to be surprised and did not get up. She only pretended to say:
"I come from a wealthy family in Qianzhou, and am the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. Not long after I married into the Shangguan family, I have only heard people talk about Miss Wan, but I have never met her in person. I was curious, so I asked. If there was any rudeness, Don't be surprised."
Wenren Wan nodded slightly.
The female elder then suppressed a bit of her smile and said, "Based on seniority, I should be your aunt."
Wen Renwan was already a little unhappy, but in the end he restrained himself and said respectfully:
"Auntie."
"Yes." The female elder agreed with a smile, and then sighed, "Don't blame Auntie. You are away from home all year round. It is difficult for me to see you. Naturally, we are unfamiliar with each other."
"But having said that..." The female elder glanced at Wen Renwan lightly and said, "Young Master Yi is also the next head of the family after all. You are the wife of the head of the family, and you stay in the Gu family all day long. What's going on? Could it be that? Are you... don't take Shangguan's family seriously?"
Wen Renwan's face turned slightly pale.
The atmosphere in the venue became a little colder.
Just when Wen Renwan was about to say something, Shangguan Yi stood up and said warmly:
"Wan'er stayed in the Gu family to take care of Yu'er."
"Yu'er has been weak since she was a child. In order to strengthen her body and strengthen her foundation, she was sent to Taixu Sect to practice at a young age."
"Mother and son are close to each other, and Wan'er is worried that Yu'er will slack off in her practice, so Wan'er stays here not only to take care of her, but also to supervise her."
"And near the border of Qianxue Prefecture, the Shangguan family, the Gu family and the Wenren family all have a lot of monastic industries, and these industries are all managed by Wan'er..."
Seeing the deep love between their husband and wife, the female elder couldn't help but look at Wen Renwan critically, and said with a good-natured smile:
"She is indeed a great beauty with a gentle appearance and beautiful appearance. No wonder Master Yi is so infatuated. He always speaks for you and everything goes according to your wishes. It is really enviable."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed.
This is an allusion to Shangguan Yi. As the young master of the Shangguan family, he was blinded by sex and was constrained by his wife, making it difficult for him to do anything.
Shangguan Yi's face changed slightly.
Some people also secretly looked at the expression on the head of the family, Shangguan Ce.
After all, Shangguan Yi is Shangguan Ce's only son.
But Shangguan Ce looked calm and turned a deaf ear, seeming not to care that his son was criticized.
Gu Changhuai frowned, and when he saw Ren Wan standing alone, receiving criticism from the Shangguan family, he immediately wanted to stand up.
But in an instant, a sharp gaze looked at him.
It's Gu Shouyan, the head of the Gu family.
Gu Changhuai looked stubborn and hesitated several times, but in the end he could not disobey the family master and could only sit down angrily.
Gu Changhuai also knew in his heart that standing up and talking would not help, it would only make the situation worse.
On the other side, although Shangguan Yi pretended to be calm, her heart sank.
He also realized that the more he defended Wan'er and Yu'er, the more criticism they might receive.
He also seemed more and more affectionate and indecisive.
Even though I love my son and daughter, it doesn't matter what others say.
But he couldn't bear to involve his wife and children.
When the female elder from the Shen family saw this situation, she sneered slightly, turned her eyes, looked at Yu'er again, shook her head and said:
"Children of aristocratic families should practice etiquette at the age of three. They should follow the etiquette when walking, sitting, lying down, eating and drinking, and should not go beyond the rules."
"There is no one like this child, who looks cheerful, doesn't know how to restrain himself when meeting his elders, walks recklessly, has no manners at all, attends family banquets, and only cares about eating and drinking..."
The female elder said regretfully, "In this way, I'm afraid even a good child will be taught bad things."
Yu'er was scolded by her in public, and suddenly became helpless and hid behind her mother.
Wen Renwan felt a pain in his heart, and then became furious. His eyes turned cold. He was about to retort, but saw Shangguan Yi's worried gaze.
She understood instantly.
This female elder of the Shen family is an elder, and the few words she said about these strange things were clearly meant to be teaching.
And she is a junior, so she can tolerate it.
If you can't bear it anymore and speak out, the consequences will be more serious. Not only will you be known as "disrespectful of your elders", but even Yu'er will be implicated and said to be "uneducated".
Because she is a mother, and Yu'er was raised by her.
Wenren Wan's eyes were slightly red, and her bare hands were clenched until they turned white.
Mo Hua looked very angry. He was just about to say something when he found that the female elder was so proud that she had turned her gaze towards him at some point.
"I wonder which family this young master belongs to?"
Mo Hua was startled.
The female elder didn't wait for Mo Hua's answer and sneered:
"My spiritual roots are low. In my opinion, he must not be a child of a noble family, not just a wild boy somewhere."
She turned her gaze to Wen Renwan again and sighed:
"That's what's wrong with you. Monks practice Taoism and focus on the Dharma and wealth. The word 'mate' refers to like-minded Taoist friends."
"Children of aristocratic families, from a young age, they must strictly select the kind of friends they make."
"A person who has no obvious origin, no respectable status, no noble blood, and no good spiritual roots is not worthy, let alone be seated in the hall."
"What's more, this kid is even more vulgar and rude than Yu'er, and he lacks education. Are you really not afraid that a direct descendant of my dignified Shangguan family will be led astray by this kid?"
Although Yu'er didn't quite understand what he heard, she also knew that his brother Mo had been spoken ill of, and his face turned pale with anger.
Wen Renwan couldn't help it either.
Just bear with your own affairs.
But Mo Hua is Yu'er's benefactor.
Yu'er was kidnapped, but Mo Hua rescued her. Yu'er was suffering from nightmares, and she relied on Mo Hua to relieve her.
Wen Renwan's eyes turned cold and he immediately said: "You..."
But before she could say anything, she found Mo Hua tugging on her sleeve.
Wen Renwan was startled and looked down, and saw Mo Hua taking a sip of fruit wine to moisten his throat, then wiped his mouth and slowly stood up.
Wen Renwan didn't know what Mo Hua wanted to do.
Mo Hua looked innocent, pointed at the female elder secretly, and asked Wenren Wan in a low voice:
"Aunt Wan, who is this fierce old lady..."
He deliberately lowered his voice.
But he simply lowered his voice and did not use his spiritual consciousness to cover it up.
The monks present here are all well-educated, and you can't hear what he said.
Fierce old lady...
Everyone's expressions immediately became subtle.
The female elder was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes widened in anger.
She has lived to this day, more than 200 years old, and she has always been flattered by people saying that she is "alluring to the country", "beautiful as a painting", and "as graceful as she was back then"...
She also believes that her appearance is not inferior to anyone else's.
I didn’t expect this kid!
He actually called her "old lady"!
She pointed at the ink painting and asked sharply: "Who is the fierce old lady?!"
Her fierce question made it clear.
Mo Hua seemed to be startled and said weakly: "Aunt Wan calls you 'aunt', what are you if you're not an old lady?"
The female elder's eyes breathed fire.
Wen Renwan felt a little happy, but also a little bit dumbfounded, "Although she is an aunt, she is only more than a hundred years older than me, so she would not call me an old lady..."
Mo Hua muttered: "Then how would I know? There is so much powder on her face that it is as thick as the wall. How can I tell..."
The female elder almost broke her teeth.
Mo Hua asked Wen Renwan again, "If you don't call me old lady, then I'll call you...old aunt?"
Finally, there was someone at the table who couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Soon, someone else started laughing in a low voice one after another.
Aroused by the laughter, the female elder from the Shen family finally became furious. She clapped her palms and shattered the table with dishes, causing the soup and dishes to flow all over the floor.
Mo Hua shook his head and said sternly:
"This old aunt is used to falling and falling. She is so rude."
To be continued...
