Chapter 834: Mutual Teasing

Chapter 834: Mutual Teasing

Zhuang Rui was dissatisfied and was arguing about things, and for a moment he couldn't think of comforting his mother.

"Brother, this is really strange. You have concealed everything about my sister-in-law's background and her pre-marriage affairs from us. Tell me, what is this? How can this be possible?"

Zhuang Xianhui complained and told the truth.

"My second brother doesn't know anything. He told us everything except the four of us in the family."

Zhuang Rui asked a question.

"Even my cousin knows?"

Zhuang Xianhui answered.

"I heard that my cousin was the first to know."

"Don't even mention my cousin, even the secret attendant Lord Gao knows about it."

Zhuang Rui was both surprised and angry.

"what?"

"He didn't even hide it from his ex-lover, but he hid it from us? This is outrageous."

"Is this a curse? We are a family, why is he guarding against us?"

Recounted by Zhuang Xianhui.

"He said that telling others about one's weaknesses would only bring disaster upon oneself."

"In other words, he was afraid that we would use this as a laughing stock to ridicule my sister-in-law."

Zhuang Rui slammed the table.

"That's ridiculous!"

"In his eyes, we are just such villains?"

"This is a sad thing for my sister-in-law, how can we treat it as a laughing stock?"

Zhuang Xianhui was depressed and unhappy.

"I said so too, but he just didn't believe it."

Ning Xuanfeng made a reasonable guess.

"I think it's because the three of you always ridicule each other, and it's become a habit. Therefore, my eldest brother-in-law subconsciously thinks that you will ridicule my sister-in-law just like you ridicule him."

Zhuang Rui suddenly became furious.

"What nonsense!"

"He is also hiding this from you and is on guard against you. Brother-in-law, think carefully about which side you are on before you speak."

Thinking back to what happened just now, Hui'er blamed her for not caring, and this time, Teng E'lan reacted very quickly.

"Shut up, sir."

"My brother-in-law's words make sense. How can you scold him for no reason?"

"We are family, don't treat him like this."

Ning Xuanfeng smiled at her.

"Thank you, Second Sister-in-law, for your understanding."

Zhuang Xianhui's attitude is completely different from before.

"My husband's words are totally wrong."

"We three brothers and sisters love each other. How could we ever ridicule each other?"

Teng Elan was stunned and at a loss when she heard this.

Zhuang Rui agreed as if it was true.

"Third sister is right."

"It's always been the eldest brother who taught us for no apparent reason. How can there be any mutual ridicule? He is so powerful, how dare we act rashly?"

Zhuang Xianhui made a very logical and coherent speech.

"The rules of propriety and respect for one's superiors and subordinates restrict each other. There are only unreasonable brothers and sisters in the world, so how can there be unruly brothers and sisters?"

Ning Xuanfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Aren't your words just a form of ridicule?"

Zhuang Rui argued convincingly.

"What ridicule? This is the truth!"

"He was wrong to hide the matter from my sister-in-law. It's harmless for us to make a small complaint, right?"

Zhuang Xianhui agreed.

"Second brother, what you said makes sense."

Zhuang Rui talked incessantly and expressed his views.

"In my opinion, he is not worried that his sister-in-law will be laughed at by others; instead, he is worried that we will laugh at him for trying so hard to marry a divorced woman back home."

"Oh, for the sake of his own face, he kept it secret and tried every possible way to avoid us."

"In fact, none of us had any prejudice. He was the only one who thought too much and decided that my sister-in-law was not a good person and that her second marriage was her weakness."

"Thinking about it this way, he doesn't love my sister-in-law at all and looks down on her from the bottom of his heart."

"He just took a fancy to my sister-in-law's talent for philandering."

Zhuang Xianhui strongly agreed.

"I also suspect that my elder brother is not sincere in his treatment of my sister-in-law."

On the other side, Zhuang Wei hadn't seen his second brother and his wife come back for a long time, so he asked the servants where they had gone.

Zhuang Rui had made preparations early, and none of the servants knew where the couple was. It was a perfect plan, but because it was perfect, Zhuang Wei felt something was wrong.

Zhuang Wei explored the details and searched for traces, and soon found them in Roujing Pavilion.

Unexpectedly, hearing the ridicule and bad words, he walked into the room quietly and appeared behind the screen.

"I won't tell you because I'm worried that Madam will get hurt. I love Madam sincerely."

"I'm keeping my family business to myself, how can you have any objection?"

Recognizing his elder brother's voice the first time, Zhuang Rui was so frightened that he almost crawled under the table.

Zhuang Xianhui was horrified and quickly got up from her seat, wanting to run to Youcong Mansion to seek help from her elder sister-in-law.

Zhuang Wei stood in front of her with a dignified figure.

"Where to go?"

Seeing that her brother was extremely angry, Zhuang Xianhui was terrified and her words of defense were stuck in her throat, unable to come out.

"I...I'm not..."

Zhuang Wei said in a deep voice.

"Kneel down."

Zhuang Xianhui smiled cautiously.

"My second sister-in-law and husband are here, big brother, can you please take care of me?"

Zhuang Wei repeated it with a stronger tone.

"Kneel down."

Zhuang Xianhui pouted, looking unhappy, and knelt respectfully.

"Yes."

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his second brother trying to be clever and take his wife with him, tiptoeing and trying to escape, but Zhuang Wei stopped him.

"You kneel down too!"

Zhuang Rui knelt heavily.

"Yes."

Guessing that his wife would kneel down in fear, he stretched out his arms to hold her up, supporting her delicate body and preventing her from bending her knees.

Zhuang Wei forced a smile, half-smile, and tried to be friendly.

"If my dear sister-in-law is frightened, it's okay to sit down."

After receiving a look from her husband confirming that she could take a seat, Teng Elan returned to her seat trembling with fear.

"Yes, thank you, uncle."

Ning Xuanfeng got up and walked over to help his wife explain.

"Brother, please calm down. Things are not what you think..."

Zhuang Wei interrupted.

"Shut up."

"I can handle my own affairs. I don't need you to teach me."

"I told you not to ask any more questions, why don't you obey?"

"Since you are my cousin's brother, I won't bother with it and just sit down."

Ning Xuanfeng responded with a sad face.

"Yes."

Zhuang Wei suppressed his anger and spoke sternly to his third sister.

"What did you promise me in Youqing Mansion? Have you forgotten?"

Zhuang Xianhui replied.

"My little sister remembers."

Zhuang Wei is intimidating without even getting angry.

"I guess you didn't tell your second brother on purpose, but he was the one who eavesdropped on you, right?"

Thinking about the promise she made to her second brother, Zhuang Xianhui was speechless.

"This……"

Zhuang Wei smiled coldly.

"Oh, now you are quite loyal."

"Did I emphasize that it must be kept secret?"

Zhuang Xianhui nodded slightly.

"Yes."

Zhuang Wei spoke his mind calmly and rationally.

"If you keep your word, how can my second brother eavesdrop?"

Zhuang Xianhui was helpless.

"Brother, I understand your words."

"It's my fault, you punish me."

"Brother is very fair and never harsh on me. I am convinced."

Zhuang Wei immediately gave orders.

"You will be the only one to mediate the conflict between our parents this time."

Zhuang Xianhui was stunned.

"Ah? Isn't it a punishment to kneel down?"

Zhuang Wei smiled and reminded everyone of the rules.

"You have no right to question your brother."

"To mediate."

Zhuang Xianhui left in response, and Ning Xuanfeng followed closely behind.

Zhuang Rui was terrified.

"I'll go to mediate, too."

Zhuang Wei grabbed the back of his collar.

"You don't have to go, and you don't need to repent."

"Let me ask you, how long has it been since you last practiced?"

Zhuang Rui has a lot of grievances to express.

"Okay, okay, got it. I'll practice martial arts with you to help you vent your anger..."

He spoke tenderly.

"Can you be gentler? The court may need me."

Zhuang Wei agreed readily.

"it is good."
