The mistress of the Hou family worked herself to death, and she did not serve after her rebirth

at the same time.

Shen Yuyan also stayed in the capital temporarily.

Except for the first day after arriving in Beijing, when she handed a letter she wrote herself to someone from the Xie Mansion, she had been waiting for news these days.

But the longer she waited, the more uneasy she felt.

From time to time, she would ask the maids and old women to go to the streets to inquire about the news.

But I learned that "many people have sent letters to the Xie Mansion this time, saying that they want to see a passage."

Hearing this, Shen Yuyan smiled with disdain. She was the one who had been communicating with Xie Yuzhou over the years, and the others had been working in vain.

She was determined that she would not lose this time, so she started to live freely in the capital as usual.

The capital city is big, but also small. After a few days, she actually met quite a few acquaintances.

There are neighbors who grew up with her, and there are also elders who watched her grow up.

But they were all a little unhappy with her. After all, the incident between her and Shen had caused quite a stir.

Everyone looked at her with contempt.

This made Shen Yuyan very angry.

Until this day, she heard the news from Xie Mansion that she was almost decided and she was arranged to live in the villa of Xie Mansion temporarily and would be arranged to move in when the time came.

Shen Yuyan was so happy that she looked at the dowry being carried in one by one, her mouth stretched from ear to ear, as if she was going to avenge her previous humiliation.

She has finally turned things around.

The face that was lost before is finally regained.

Of course she would bring together those who looked down on her.

Because Shen Yulang is still in exile, she cannot bring him over for the time being.

But my aunt insisted on inviting him.

And there are the Pei family.

After the incident, the Pei family drew a clear line between themselves and her and her aunt. This time, they must be invited over to give them a good slap in the face.

Then there are those who looked down on her in the past, and the Shen family members.

She sent out wedding invitations to everyone.

Finally, it was Pei Jiuniang. She personally delivered the invitation to Pei Jiuniang, and her words and deeds were full of superiority.

In order to make the play more realistic, Pei Jiuniang did not instigate anyone and promised to go on that day.

Shen Yuyan stayed in the villa every day, waiting for the day of her wedding.

In fact, she was a little nervous. Although the Xie Mansion was the best place she could marry now, and Xie Yuzhou was once her favorite, she had not seen him for many years after all. There were also rumors that Xie Yuzhou was dying, and she was also worried that once she married into the family, he would die, and then she would no longer be a widow.

So she asked to meet Xie Yuzhou before getting married, but was rejected.

She simply stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, even if Xie Yuzhou died, the Xie family was a centuries-old family with a solid foundation, which would be enough for her to have food and drink without worries.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuyan even specially held a banquet in the largest restaurant in the capital in the name of the Xie family's future daughter-in-law, hoping to show off her status as the wife of the Xie family in advance.

The date was set on the day Shen arrived in Beijing.

Shen arrived almost at the same time as Pei's father.

From a distance, Shen saw Pei's father get off the carriage, and the tears on her face could not be stopped instantly.

She opened her mouth slightly, but before she could say anything, she saw a woman following Pei's father. Pei's father introduced her to everyone as his newly married wife.

Shen almost couldn't hold back and had an outburst on the spot, luckily Shen Yuyan quickly asked the nanny to hold her back.

Shen Yuyan glared at Pei's father and the new wife fiercely, and secretly swore that once she had established a firm foothold in the Xie family, she would avenge her aunt.

The group arrived at the banquet hall.

On weekdays, this is the place where princes and nobles come together to drink and have fun. A single meal would cost dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver. A banquet of this scale would cost at least several thousand taels of silver.

She had asked someone to make the reservation in the name of the Xie family before, but she didn't expect the other party to not give her any face at all and said that the Xie family would never come here to reserve a table. Later, she had no choice but to mention the names of Pei Jiuniang and the Marquis' Mansion, and the other party believed it.

Everyone followed to the banquet hall. The tables had already been set and everyone took their seats one after another.

Shen Yuyan raised her glass and greeted everyone, "Don't be polite, let's eat and drink together."

Many of them were from the Shen family. The Shen family had long been in decline, and many of them had rushed here from their hometowns in advance. They had never seen such a grand ceremony before, and their eyes widened immediately. They spoke in their hometown dialect and complimented, "Such a banquet must cost a lot of money, right?"

"It's not much money, I can still afford it. Today is just a small gathering to wait for the wedding. I heard that the banquet is better than this."

Shen Yuyan was delighted in her heart, but she appeared to be modest on the surface.

The Shen clan members looked at Shen Yuyan with even more respect.

Shen Yuyan pretended to be calm and accepted everyone's admiration. During the banquet, she also arranged singing and dancing to liven up the atmosphere.

Everyone was toasting each other and couldn't help but compliment Shen Yuyan and Shen.

Even the Shen family members drank a few more glasses and started to feel a little dizzy.

Thinking of how Shen was divorced by Pei's father before, and how she even went to Pei's father under the influence of alcohol and angrily scolded him, "What did my daughter of the Shen family do wrong to be treated like this by your Pei family? You still have the nerve to come here. Now that you see my daughter of the Shen family is going to marry a rich man, you come to curry favor with her again. You are really shameless."

Hearing this, Pei's father felt a little embarrassed.

He didn't want to come.

But I am also curious whether Shen Yuyan can really marry into the Xie family?

After all, Shen Yuyan and the Shen family have lost their reputation.

Moreover, the invitation Shen Yuyan gave him said that Pei Jiuniang would also be there.

He still wanted to meet with Pei Jiuniang to ease the relationship. After all, the Pei family was getting worse day by day, and his son needed the support of the Marquis' Mansion to be an official.

And the newly married wife also wants to come out and see the world.

Only then did he decide.

But he didn't expect that the Shen family would attack him directly at the banquet. For a moment, the hand holding the wine glass turned pale.

The old face was blue and red, and it looked like it was about to explode at any time.

The others also looked on with their mouths slightly opened.

But it seems like it has nothing to do with me.

Some even secretly hope that something will happen.

Shen Yuyan also watched coldly. Even when someone winked at her and asked her to take care of it, she ignored them.

She just wanted to let those who used to laugh at them and look down on them know that she, Shen Yuyan, is no longer the Shen Yuyan of the past.

She is about to marry into the Xie family.

Although the Xie family does not have any high-ranking officials in the court now, the Xie family is a century-old family with a solid foundation, only slightly inferior to the Wang family.

Moreover, several of Xie Yuzhou's uncles and brothers also hold official positions.

News came from the Xie family that after agreeing to the marriage, Xie Yuzhou has obviously improved. After recuperating for a while and feeling better, they can get married.

Now, she writes letters to Xie Yuzhou every day. Although the contents of the letters are copied by Xie's family, they are all words of comfort.

She had already started to have a romantic relationship with Xie Yuzhou.

Thinking about it, she became more confident. She held the wine glass, shook it gently, and then put it heavily on the table. She slammed the table and stood up, looking at the old father Pei whose face was getting uglier and uglier. "Uncle, no, now, you are no longer my uncle. Today, I want to say a few words for my aunt. My aunt has been married into your Pei family for so many years. She has made no contributions but has worked hard. But you divorced my aunt because of some unfounded things. This is the first mistake you have made.

I allowed Pei Jiuniang to frame my aunt and me, and it almost happened... This was the second mistake I made.

I know that you came here today to clarify the previous matter, and I am not that petty..."

Shen Yuyan knew that although she was able to marry into the Xie family, which was a great honor for her, if she wanted to gain a foothold in the capital in the future, she had to give an explanation for what had happened before.

The best way is to let Pei's father and Pei Jiuniang come forward.

This was also one of the reasons why she invited them here today.

In order to force Pei Jiuniang to surrender, she also specially planned a back-up plan.
