My rigid, jealous husband has fallen for me, even though I'm a hopeless romantic.

Chapter 65 Sisters Join Forces to Tear Apart the Green Tea Girl

Wei Dongning harbored malicious intentions.

She wanted to see how Wei Qiuci would deal with this low-level green tea.

She also wants to learn.

There's always something to learn from someone walking with me.

It can be used on Gu Peiyan in the future, which can also be considered a kind of fun.

"I don't regret it." Wei Qiuci snatched the embroidered handkerchief back: "What kind of person my elder brother chooses is none of my business."

Wei Dongning moved next to Wei Qiuci and began to plead, "Why don't you go and take a look? Just do me a favor."

A woman who knows how to be charming and coquettish has the best life.

She and Wei Qiuci have no conflict now, so she might as well act cute and maybe Wei Qiuci will agree.

"Besides, if she marries into the Marquis's household, we'll inevitably have to deal with her in the future. If we go to meet her now, we'll have experience in dealing with her later, right?"

Wei Qiuci put down her embroidered handkerchief after being dawdled by her, stood up, and asked Xiao He to find her a thicker cloak: "Fine, I give up. I'll go, okay?"

Wei Dongning secretly celebrated her victory.

Xiao Wu, who had returned at some point, suddenly spoke up: "Ningbao, you're up to no good."

Wei Dongning stared at Wei Qiuci's retreating figure: "Aren't you curious about who will win in a battle between white flowers and green tea?"

Xiao Wu smacked his lips.

To be honest, it was actually quite curious.

While at home, it had already found out the stupid things Wen Yuzhu had said to Ningbao.

To be honest, this year's green tea girls are just so-so.

There wasn't even a hint of tea aroma.

Wei Dongning waved to Xiao Fu.

Xiao Fu immediately covered his ears.

Then Wei Dongning instructed her, "Xiao Fu, go and tell Gu Peiyan that we've gone back to the front hall. If he wants to watch the show, he can come over."

Xiao Fu recalled her young mistress's superb acting skills today and was afraid that she would be too slow and miss the exciting plot.

She wished she could turn her legs into wheels of fire so she could deliver the message to her son-in-law and return to her mistress's side as soon as possible.

When Wei Dongning pulled Wei Qiuci back to the front hall, her elder brother Wei Xiuming had already returned.

The two women bowed gracefully to the Gu family couple and Wei Xiuming at the head of the table, behaving like noble ladies: "Greetings, Father and Mother, greetings, Elder Brother."

Wei Dongning did it on purpose.

Xiao Wu just told her that when Wen Yuzhu saw Wei Liangzhe, she did not bow, but simply smiled and said, "Greetings, Lord Marquis."

It almost made Wei Liangzhe's nose crooked with anger.

They are now the best contrast to Wen Yuzhu.

Sure enough, Wei Liangzhe's expression softened when he saw them: "The girl next to you is a friend your older brother brought back. You're about the same age, so you should have things to talk about. Your mother and I have other things to do, so we won't keep you company."

In terms of being old-fashioned, Wei Liangzhe is probably not much less so than Gu Song.

They are only tolerating this daughter of mine now because of Wen Junyi's contributions in the military.

Wei Dongning and Wei Qiuci bowed again: "Father and Mother, please take care."

Wei Xiuming also stood up and clasped his hands in greeting.

Wen Yuzhu stood up from her chair and, like Wei Xiuming, performed a cupped-hand salute.

Wei Liangzhe was unwilling to talk to her any longer and got up to leave.

Wen Yuzhu looked at the unfamiliar Wei Qiuci and blinked twice: "Brother Wei, you actually have two younger sisters? Then why is it only Sister Dongning who came to pick you up today?"

Xiao Wu blew a whistle in Wei Dongning's mind and said like a referee, "It's starting! It's starting! Contestant Wen Yuzhu has launched the first provocative attack. How should our two contestants from the Wei family respond?"

"Two contestants? Shouldn't there be three?" Wei Dongning tilted her head and looked in Wei Xiuming's direction.

“I don’t even want to talk about your older brother. He’s gone mad from fighting, he can’t even see through a green tea bitch. You two still have to step up.”

Wei Qiuci smiled gently: "Miss Wen, there's something wrong with what you're saying. Do you think my relationship with my elder brother isn't good, so you're unwilling to pick him up? But, on what basis are you questioning me?"

Wen Yuzhu exclaimed, "Oh dear! I didn't mean that at all. Please don't misunderstand me. Brother Wei and I are just friends. I was just asking casually."

"It was my fault." Wei Qiuci bowed to her. "I apologize to Miss Wen in advance. I hope you won't mind my words. It wouldn't be good if I caused trouble between you and my brother."

Wei Dongning quietly gave her a thumbs up.

A strategic retreat to advance—brilliant!

Before Wei Xiuming could speak, Wei Dongning immediately leaned in, feigning innocence: "Big brother, I also think Miss Wen's words are problematic. If this gets out, won't people say that the children of our Marquis's mansion are not on good terms?"

"How could that be! Everyone in the capital knows that our Marquis's residence is the most harmonious."

"Then why did Miss Wen say that? And in that accusatory tone. Besides my second sister, I don't have any other sisters. Does Miss Wen want to be my sister too?" Wei Dongning said the last sentence to Wen Yuzhu.

Before Wen Yuzhu could react, Wei Qiuci spoke up again: "I suppose Miss Wen, with her lively personality, wouldn't like a high-class family like ours with so many rules."

Wen Yuzhu really couldn't hold back any longer.

This was the third time the family openly or subtly mocked her for lacking manners.

Wen Yuzhu gritted her teeth: "How could that be? I really like it here, but I know I'm not worthy of the Marquis's mansion, so please don't tease me, ladies."

“Miss Wen, you’ve misunderstood us if you think like that.” Wei Qiuci lowered her eyes and looked melancholy. “You are my elder brother’s guest, so you are an honored guest of my Marquis’s mansion. How could we dare to make fun of you? If you don’t mind, we would be very willing to be friends with you.”

Wen Yuzhu knew she had little chance of winning against two people at once, so she turned and gave Wei Xiuming a "helpless" look: "Brother Wei, it seems your family really doesn't like me. I told you I don't like places with lots of women in the inner quarters, right? They're always chattering and can't even speak properly."

"Miss Wen, aren't you a woman yourself?" Wei Dongning covered her mouth in surprise. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, shouldn't I have said that?"

Wei Qiuci patted Wei Dongning's hand, which was covering her mouth: "Little sister, really, with so many people around, how could you so easily reopen Miss Wen's wounds?"

In their back-and-forth banter, Wei Qiuci and Wei Dongning labeled Wen Yuzhu as a "eunuch."

Wen Yuzhu took several deep breaths but couldn't suppress the anger in her chest.

She can't very well take off her clothes on the spot to prove that she's a real woman.

Wei Xiuming quickly spoke up to stop them: "You two, stop fooling around!"

Wei Qiuci remained calm: "Yes, elder brother. But there's something I'd like to ask you."

"You said."

"Why is it that we are taught from childhood not to easily stay at other people's houses, but Miss Wen can? Doesn't this indicate that there is a problem with the education we receive in our Marquis's mansion?"

Wei Qiuci's earnest and inquisitive expression made Wei Xiuming fall into deep thought.

Wen Yuzhu interjected, "What's wrong with that! When we were in the military camp, it was common for people to sleep in the same tent when they got drunk. We don't have so many ridiculous rules like yours."

"Big brother, you didn't sleep with her too, did you?" Wei Dongning pouted and took a step to the side, looking at Wei Xiuming as if he had been tainted by something dirty.
