Lin Wan slept comfortably and woke up early the next day.

At this time, the news that the groom did not stay in the bridal chamber on the wedding night, but instead took his servant out of the house and did not return all night had spread throughout the mansion.

Some idle people have already started to speculate that the new Crown Prince's wife is extremely ugly and scares the Crown Prince. Some also say that the Crown Prince went to a brothel last night to meet his old lover, and so on.

Lin Wan sat in front of the dressing table while Qinglian did her makeup, while she listened to Qingping chattering about the news outside.

When Lin Wan heard how Lu Tingxu's old lover in the brothel tried to make him happy, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Miss, why are you still smiling?" Qinglian felt angry when she saw her crooked eyebrows.

Lin Wan looked at the angry Qing Ping and wanted to laugh again.

After finally holding it back, seeing that the little girl was really angry, he said embarrassedly: "Okay, don't be angry. I just think Qingping's ability to get information is amazing. She can find out so many things in the Marquis' Mansion in one night."

Qing Ping stuck out her tongue in embarrassment when she heard the young lady praising her. She smiled and said, "I'm young, and those mothers and sisters treat me like a child."

Lin Wan nodded. Qing Ping was smart and young. The servants in the Lin family liked her very much. This ability to get information could be developed.

"There are two plates of snacks on the table. Take them and share them with your friends. Just be careful to be restrained." Lin Wan smiled at Qing Ping.

Seeing her go out happily, Lin Wancai comforted Qinglian: "You, don't worry too much. Qingping looks jumpy but she is very sensible."

When they had packed up and were about to go to the main courtyard to pay their respects, Lin Wan's roommate, Mrs. Liu, came in from outside.

"Miss, have packed your things. I will let you go with me. I just heard the servants talking outside. They didn't give you any face at all. You have been treated so unfairly on your first day here. The Marquis' Mansion is too bullying. This is not only an humiliation for you, but also an humiliation for the Lin family! I will seek justice for you in front of the Marquis and his wife!" Mother Liu said angrily, and walked forward to help Lin Wan out.

Lin Wan stopped and raised her hand to avoid Mama Liu's support. She said calmly, "Mom, be careful with what you say. I was abandoned by the prince on my wedding night. Wouldn't the elders in the mansion think it's inappropriate? You keep saying that the Lin family and I were humiliated, as if everyone in the mansion deliberately bullied and humiliated me. What would people think if they heard it?"

Mother Liu was startled by Lin Wan's expression. Her hands dropped unconsciously, and she hunched over with her lips trembling slightly.

Lin Wan continued, "I know you came from the Lin family with me, and you were worried that I would be wronged when I first entered the Marquis' Mansion. But now that I'm married, the Marquis' Mansion is our home. The reputation of the Marquis' Mansion is also closely related to our reputation. When something happens, we should talk about it. There is no need to make such a big deal about giving face and being humiliated. Don't you think that's right?"

Mother Liu didn't expect that her provocative words would lead to such a severe lecture. She felt a little dissatisfied, but didn't know how to say much, so she stepped aside sullenly and said nothing.

Lin Wan looked at Qinglian's hesitant look and shook her head, then walked out the door.

Shi'an Courtyard, the main courtyard of Yongning Marquis' Mansion.

Xiao was sitting at the table wiping a long sword with a cotton handkerchief, while a maid next to her was talking about what had just happened in Lin Wan's yard.

"I like this daughter-in-law. I knew she was smart when I saw her before. She is really good."

When Xiao heard Lin Wan say that the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion was closely related to her reputation, she couldn't help but nodded. She was a smart one.

When Xiao was young, she was cheerful and cheerful, and she hated the suspicion of other girls. After marriage, she went to the battlefield with Marquis Lu for several years, and then returned to Shangjing to manage the family affairs. She could see through many things without saying anything.

She was already somewhat unhappy with the Lin family's repeated changes in their children's marriages. However, she thought that Wang had saved her and that it was not easy to cancel the marriage she had proposed, so she endured it again and again.

The last time she saw Lin Wan at the Lin family, she was very satisfied. She was pretty, smart, independent, and not too weak. She was exactly what she wanted in a daughter-in-law. So when Wang suggested changing the engagement candidate, she agreed.

Now it seems that my judgment was correct. It's just that my son is too bad. He ran away on the wedding night. This is not only disrespecting the Lin family, but also disrespecting his parents.

Thinking of Lin Wan's understanding, Xiao put down the sword in her hand and said, "Mother Gao, ask the Marquis to send someone to find the prince for me. When he comes back, take him directly to the ancestral hall and make him kneel down and reflect on his actions."

At this time, the maid's voice came from outside the house.

"Madam, the young lady is here to say hello to you."

Xiao immediately stood up and walked outside, just in time to meet Lin Wan and Qinglian coming in.

"Mother." Lin Wan had just bowed and was about to salute when she was pulled up by Xiao.

"You don't need to be so formal at home. You can get used to it slowly. I'm very easy to get along with." Xiao said with a smile, holding Lin Wan's hand.

Lin Wan smiled shyly and replied, "It is a blessing for a daughter-in-law to marry into the Marquis's mansion."

Xiao couldn't help but reach out and touch her little face lovingly, thinking that if she had a daughter like this, she would love her to the core and would beat back severely anyone who dared to let her suffer the slightest injustice.

Thinking of this, Xiao suddenly remembered that the one who was bullying Lin Wan was her own son, and her face suddenly became embarrassed.

"I know everything that happened last night, my dear. You have been wronged." Xiao said apologetically.

"Don't worry, I have sent someone to find that rebellious son and will make him apologize to you."

Lin Wan felt warm in her heart when she saw Xiao's distressed and serious expression.

It has always been said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are difficult to get along with. In the previous life, Lin Wan was tormented by Shen's mother in the Shen family. But Shen Qinghe never said a word for her, and kept talking about how hard it was for her mother to raise them alone, and how she should be respectful and obedient as a daughter-in-law.

When Lin Fu returned to the Lin family and told them how Lu Tingxu favored his concubine over his wife, and how Xiao was overbearing and unreasonable, Lin Wan had to do a lot of psychological preparation in her heart, thinking that she should try her best to endure no matter how she blamed her at the beginning.

However, she did not expect that after just a few brief encounters with Xiao, she would feel as if she was judging others by her own standards.

"Mother, the prince is young and has a temper. His marriage was changed temporarily because of my family. He may have some misunderstandings about me. If mother blames the prince for what happened last night, it will make him even more sad."

Lin Wan's caring words, which put Lu Tingxu first, made Xiao feel more comfortable.

Look, this daughter-in-law is so sensible and well-behaved. It is obviously her son who did something wrong, but she keeps making excuses for him and is reluctant to punish him herself.

"I must treat her well in the future!" Xiao promised secretly in her heart.

"Good boy!" Xiao pulled Lin Wan to sit down together. After Lord Lu came back from practicing in the backyard, she took Lin Wan to serve tea.

After drinking his daughter-in-law's tea, Lord Lu casually took out a large red envelope and handed it to Lin Wan, saying with a smile: "I am a rough man, and I like weapons and the like. I don't think you will like them. I will give you silver, and you can buy whatever you like."

Lin Wan didn't expect Lord Lu to be so unconventional, and was stunned for a moment. Then she took the red envelope with a smile and thanked him.

Lord Lu was very pleased to see that she had no grudges.

You know, he was worried for a long time when he heard that his daughter-in-law was born in a civil official family, fearing that she would dislike her family's rudeness. Now he found that he was too prejudiced, seeing that Lin Wan looked very generous.

When he saw that Lu Tingxu was nowhere to be found, he instantly became furious.

But now the daughter-in-law serving tea is a big deal, so the son’s account should be kept first.

For so many years, Marquis Lu and his wife, Mrs. Xiao, had only a disobedient son, Lu Tingxu. Now, they suddenly have a gentle and sensible daughter-in-law like Lin Wan. The old couple's hearts are unconsciously biased.
