Chapter 340 The Wang Family Attends a Banquet
All her calmness and tranquility were nothing but a sign of a dead heart!
She wanted to repay her sister's kindness and her family's kindness in raising her with her own life. So, at that time, she would rather die than face what happened next.
After being treated with indifference by everyone, her two maids showed her the greatest intimacy. How could she bear it?
"Young lady, please tell me quickly, who bullied you? I will go find the madam and the old lady right away. Do you really think that there is no one left in our Zhen family?" Mo Hen said gritting his teeth.
Zhen Muring shook her head vigorously and cried, "Mo Hen, Shi Ya, I have nothing left but you two!"
"The master, the mistress, and the old lady don't want me anymore. You two are all I have left!"
Shi Ya felt so distressed that she put down the candlestick and hugged Zhen Muring in her arms, "Miss, you still have the two of us. Whether you live or die, neither of us will leave you!"
Seeing that Mo Hen wanted to ask more questions, Shi Ya quickly pulled the corner of her clothes and said, "Don't worry, young lady, we will always be with you! It's so late now, young lady, go to bed quickly, we will stay here with you!"
Zhen Muring also hugged Shi Ya and cried for a long time before gradually falling asleep.
"Shiya, why don't you let me ask? Are we just going to watch the girl get bullied?"
Shi Ya made a gesture, then pulled Mo Hen out the door, and then said softly, "Didn't you understand what the girl said just now?"
"Ah?" Mo Hen frowned. "Maybe the girl said something out of turn because she was anxious. Everyone knows that the old lady loves the girl the most, so how could she not want her anymore? Besides, it was Mother Wang who personally sent the girl back just now. It was obviously the old lady's order."
"Don't think too much about it. We just need to take good care of the girl. When she figures it out, she will tell us. After all, maybe asking some questions will make it difficult for the girl."
Mo Hen waved his fist in hatred, "If I find out who bullied the girl, I will avenge her even if I risk my life!"
Shi Ya looked at her little sister helplessly. She was always careful and smart. What the girl said just now didn't seem to be false! However, it was impossible for the old lady to punish her girl so harshly. So, could something else have happened? Moreover, the girl said so and asked Mother Wang to send the young lady back. Obviously, the old lady also knew what happened to her girl.
"You go in and look after the girl first. I'll go get a basin of water to get rid of my sleepiness. We may have to stay here all night!" Then, Shi Ya turned and went towards the front hall.
When we arrived at the front hall, Mrs. Wang was still awake and just leaning on the couch!
"Why did you come out? Is there something wrong with the girl?" Mrs. Wang asked hurriedly.
Shi Ya smiled and said, "Just sleep peacefully, mom. Mo Hen and I are here to watch over you. I just saw that the girl looked a little off today, so I was worried. So I got some hot water to wet her face to wake her up. Otherwise, if she falls asleep and something happens to her, it will delay her!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Wang also smiled and nodded, "No wonder the young lady said that you two are so caring. You are so loyal, it's rare that the young lady always likes you two."
Shi Ya chatted with him for a while, then went to get some hot water. On her way back, she passed the front hall and suddenly asked, "Mother Wang, it's so lively here today, are there any guests?"
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "It's the old lady who is hosting a banquet for the Marquis of Jia's Mansion to thank him for his support some time ago!"
"I see. It's a good thing for a figure like the Champion Marquis to be closer to our family!"
"That's right..." Mrs. Wang was about to say something , but she stopped abruptly. "Okay, you should go back quickly. If you have nothing to do, take a nap. Otherwise, you won't be able to stay up all night!"
Shi Ya thanked him and left the front hall with the hot water.
After entering the outer room, Shi Ya put down the basin and couldn't help crying with her handkerchief covering her face! As the maid of the Zhen family's daughter, she was naturally smart, but it was precisely because of this that she immediately figured out what happened.
If it was someone from my family, my daughter would definitely not have suffered any grievances. However, today's events were bound to be related to the Marquis of Champion who came to the banquet.
Although she was young, she had witnessed the concubine's entry into the palace. As for the eldest daughter's marriage into the palace, she remembered it clearly. Now, her daughter had just experienced it again, but it was obviously more cruel! As for the daughter's words, she also understood that although this was in the Jia Mansion, it was in the Zhen family's mansion. If it weren't for the old lady and the wife of the family acquiescing or even fueling the flames, how could the champion marquis dare to treat his daughter like this?
"Old lady, this girl is your most beloved granddaughter, can you be so cruel?"
…
Two days later, just after noon, everyone from the two mansions gathered at the old lady's place. Today was the birthday banquet of Wang Ziteng's wife, Qin, so invitations were sent to invite everyone in the mansion to come.
Naturally, she would not go as an old lady. Mrs. Xing had nothing to do with the Wang family, so she would not go either. Even Jia Zheng would not go. However, all the other young people would naturally go, and Mrs. Wang, as Wang Ziteng's biological sister, would of course go as well.
Everyone had their meal with the old lady and chatted with her for a while. When the old lady felt tired and took a nap, everyone left.
It was not easy to get to the Wang family's residence, so this time the whole family went together.
Jia Cong, Yuanyang, Youshi, Keqing, Xichun from the East Palace, Wang Fu-ren, Wang Xifeng, Yingchun, Tanchun, Baoyu from the West Palace, and even Jia Huan and Jia Lan who were on leave at home followed along. In addition, Li Wan also needed to take care of the group of girls.
Naturally, all three members of the Xue family's eldest branch went, and Xing Xiuyan and Xue Baoqin also went with the girls.
Xiangyun has gone home these days and Daiyu is not at home either, but they will meet directly when they pass by the Lin residence later.
A maid had already prepared a carriage in the front yard, and everyone got on the carriage one by one after they came out of the Chuihua Gate. When they left the mansion, a team of personal guards followed to escort them.
Jia Cong rode his horse in front to lead the way, and the crowd headed towards Wang Ziteng's mansion in a mighty manner.
When they arrived at the gate of Lin's mansion, Jia Cong asked everyone to wait and went in to pick up Daiyu. Afterwards, Daiyu's carriage also mixed into the queue.
After marching for nearly half an hour, the huge team finally arrived outside the Wang family’s gate!
Because Jia Cong was with them, not only was the front gate of the Wang family wide open, but Wang Ziteng and his disciples were waiting outside the gate. Jia Cong said to the carriage behind, "Second sister-in-law, you can go directly to the back house. Second brother Bao and I will take Huan'er and Lan'er to chat with uncle Wang in the front hall first."
Wang Xifeng agreed, and then the group of carriages entered the house and headed straight for the backyard.
