On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

Chapter 140 Deng Wanyu confronts Xu Shihuan in the Prime Minister’s Mansion

After such a fuss, everyone else present no longer had the interest to drink. They had just figured out that Xu Shihuan's personality was not like Deng Wanyu's, and he wasn't that easy to fool.

In addition, the ruler in her hand is a treasure given by the emperor, and even the prince dares to beat it. Since Prime Minister Xu gave this thing to her, it also showed the attitude of the Xu family. The Prime Minister's Office can afford the consequences of this beating.

Fortunately, Xu Shihuan only operated on Zhang Chuang. Although it was a bit humiliating to let Wen Yidi, a cheap businessman, do it for her, it did not lead to serious consequences.

However, after what happened today, everything has become different after all. For example, they no longer had unrealistic illusions, thinking that Xu Shihuan would fall in love with one of them and would be willing to take a job in order to support her husband and raise children.

After they calmed down, they realized that the biggest winner in today's dinner was Wen Yidi. It stands to reason that with his status, Xu Shihuan would not take another look at him.

Unexpectedly, Xu Shihuan actually used him as a reason to establish his power, allowing Wen Yidi to experience the feeling of fighting against others.

Everyone present knew that Xu Shihuan was just using Wen Yidi's name to beat everyone up, but the words had been spread out, and they had not dared to blatantly seek out Wen Yidi's displeasure recently.

If Xu Shihuan knew about it, they would inevitably feel that they were using Wen Yidi to slap her in the face and the prime minister's face, and then someone else would suffer.

Therefore, everyone at Xu Shihuan's table chose to keep their mouths shut and did not dare to say a word when they returned home. On the other hand, there were Jinshi from another table who came from poor families. A few bold ones walked over directly and got close to Xu Shihuan.

As early as the joint examination, they were suppressed by Zhang Chuang and others at every turn, and they couldn't express the pain in their hearts. Even before taking office, this group of people has already divided into two factions.

Although Xu Tanhua is a woman, she seems to be the most confident among this group of people. If you can make friends with her, it may be of great use in the future.

For a time, Xu Shihuan became the center of attention at the dinner party, while Wen Yidi sat obediently beside her, filling her wine glass with wine from time to time, silently enduring the disdainful looks of the people around her.

The meal ended in this strange and peaceful atmosphere. A group of people stood up unsteadily, pretending to be sanctimonious the moment they opened the door and went downstairs.

They are the talents that the whole country has finally screened out. They are the hope for the future of Wanhua Kingdom.

After leaving the door, Xu Shihuan got on the carriage without looking back and galloped towards the Prime Minister's Mansion. Wen Yidi greeted the young masters as usual. Even though these people were unwilling to do so, they endured it and did not dare to find Wen Yidi unhappy.

As soon as Xu Shihuan returned home, Guan Shanyue came up to him and said with a worried look:

"Shihuan, you are finally back. The young lady from the Deng family is waiting for you in the house."

Guan Shanyue knew that they were attending the same dinner today, but Deng Wanyu came back early and said she had something to discuss with Xu Shihuan. Could it be that the two of them had a quarrel at the dinner table?

Xu Shihuan said heartily that Deng Wanyu also knew that coming to see her was not hopeless. She smiled at Guan Shanyue, comforted her with a few words, and then prepared to go into the room to have a good talk with Deng Wanyu.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Shihuan saw that Deng Wanyu was still dressed as before, thinking that this girl didn't go home. She came here directly after leaving Qiongxian Tower, as if she was launching an attack to punish her.

But Xu Shihuan didn't want to spoil her, so he pretended to be heartless and said:

"Oh, what kind of wind brings Mr. Deng here?"

As soon as he said this, Deng Wanyu stood up directly and said angrily:

"Xu Shihuan, you know why I came to you, how could you do that?"

Hearing what she said, Xu Shihuan almost laughed out loud. If she were a man, she might be quite useful to Deng Wanyu's appearance, and he would be able to patiently coax her with a few words. However, she is not in that mood now and just wants to speak clearly to Deng Wanyu.

"What did I do? Did I not help you protect Wen Yidi, or did I not fall out with them together with you? Deng Wanyu, think about it carefully. Did Master Deng not tell you anything before you went out today?"

After hearing this, Deng Wanyu suddenly fell silent. She lowered her head and tried to hide her guilty conscience. Xu Shihuan was right. Before going out today, her father, Mr. Deng, had repeatedly warned her to be patient and deal well with those people.

Although Deng Wanyu has the Deng family as her backer and can find her a good position in the Ministry of Rites, that's all. She is a woman and the last one in the second class. It is not easy to get the approval of other officials.

The only breakthrough is this group of newcomers who passed the exam in the same year as her. They have been studying for more than ten years and still don't understand the twists and turns in officialdom, so it is easier to get along with them.

However, Deng Wanyu quickly found a suitable reason for her behavior:

"Yes, I was a little impulsive today. But it's not like you didn't see the way they looked. In front of both of us, they actually touched such a woman. Isn't this intentional to make us unhappy?"

But Xu Shihuan put on a solemn expression and said to her word by word:

"Then have you ever thought that this situation will become normal after you take office? Do you think they are taking this opportunity to humiliate our status as women? Maybe for them, this is a normal thing."

"You have to recognize the reality clearly. Today's officialdom is dominated by men. What we have to do is not to change them, but to integrate with them. If you can't even think about this, you should pack up and prepare to get married."

Deng Wanyu nodded, obviously listening to Xu Shihuan's words. But in her heart, she still couldn't let go of what happened today:

"I admit that what you said is correct. But why did you join them in bullying Mr. Wen? I thought you were different from those people and did not look down on his background."

Mentioning this, Xu Shihuan sighed and said helplessly:

"What could I do in that situation? Do you stand up for him regardless of what you did? You did this for Wen Yi'an's sake, and I have no reason to help him."

It stands to reason that good sisters like Xu Shihuan and Deng Wanyu should know who they like each other at the first time. It is not like Xu Shihuan has never thought about confessing to Deng Wanyu.

But Xu Shihuan didn't dare to gamble with Wen Yidi, because she was afraid that if Deng Wanyu accidentally let something slip, the two of them would be in a desperate situation.

"Wanyu, some of your words are unpleasant, but I still have to say them. With your personality, you are destined to never get together with Wen Yi'an."
