Su Ruanruan is not foolish.
This Young Master Huo’s Wife is deliberately making things difficult for her.
With a slight lift of her eyebrows, she saw Yin Mingzhu taking pleasure in her misfortune, laughing lightly.
Su Ruanruan did not avoid it.
She said openly, "I am from Jiangcheng, and Young Master’s Wife may not know that in Jiangcheng, if one sibling is married, then each must follow the custom of giving gifts! And my third brother married early."
Her words were reasonable and justified.
Although Young Master Huo’s Wife knew she was bluffing, she could do nothing about it.
At this moment, He Jitang came over, and Young Master’s Wife passed the conversation with a smile, finally saying, "I really didn’t know Jiangcheng had such customs."
He Jitang replied indifferently, "As the fourth sister is from Jiangcheng, if she says so, then it is so."
Young Master Huo’s Wife stopped making things difficult.
She invited everyone to take their seats, He Jitang nodded to Mrs. Zhou, then helped Su Ruanruan to her seat.
In front of others, Su Ruanruan gave him face.
The Huo Family had a lively event with 50 tables, all large round tables, He Jitang, being prestigious, was seated at the main table.
Those at the same table included the Huo family members and also Mr. and Mrs. Zhou.
Su Ruanruan brought her thoughts along and naturally observed carefully.
At Young Master Huo’s celebratory event, the Young Master and his wife were very low-key.
Su Ruanruan noticed that Young Master’s Wife was beautiful and had an outstanding temperament, and was very loving with Young Master Huo.
Mrs. Zhou quietly told her, "Grand young madam comes from a scholarly family, sadly, married for many years without a child, whereas the second young madam’s belly is capable, giving birth to two sons in succession! The Huo Family now is practically ruled by the second young madam, indeed a formidable person."
Su Ruanruan nodded in agreement.
Just outside, hadn’t she nearly been schemed against by Mrs. Xishan?
While they spoke quietly, Old Master Huo raised his glass and spoke emotionally.
It was nothing else but about marrying a new concubine and the beloved grandson’s full-month celebration.
He asked the wet nurse to bring the little young master over, to show everyone and to share the joy.
The wet nurse, who was over 30 years old, not only took care of the little young master but also had an affair with Old Master Huo.
Within moments, the wet nurse brought the little young master over.
Skilled in pleasing others, the wet nurse spoke sweetly and had a full figure.
Old Master Huo’s heart wavered, contemplating spending the night with her later.
As the wet nurse held the child and mingled around, she lightly pinched the old man’s hand when others were not aware, indeed a flirtatious gesture.
Su Ruanruan just happened to see this scene.
She then knew this wet nurse was not decent!
She remained calm and composed.
The wet nurse’s arms became sore from holding the child, so she placed the child next to grand young madam, saying, "Xige is closest to grand young madam, let grand young madam feed him something!"
Young Master Huo’s Wife smiled, "Give him to me, and you can go rest!"
The wet nurse smiled and swayed away.
Old Master Huo intently watched for a long while, and Yin Mingzhu saw this and said discontentedly, "Even a wet nurse catches Old Master’s eye!"
Young Master Huo’s wife served her some food with chopsticks: "The wet nurse came to our home earlier than the concubine, Old Master values her very much!"
Yin Mingzhu was furious at the implication.
How many affairs did this indecent old man have?
She haughtily sulked, but Old Master Huo, preoccupied with the wet nurse’s charms, did not coax her to cheer up.
Su Ruanruan and Mrs. Zhou exchanged a quiet smile.
The Huo Family indeed had many dramas.
As for the grand young madam of the Huo Family, she was well-behaved, taking care of the child when the second young madam socialized, handling it effortlessly despite having no children herself.
Su Ruanruan found her gentle and looked at her a few times more.
He Jitang arranged the dishes for her, asking quietly, "Like children?"
Su Ruanruan restrained her smile, treating him very coldly.
He Jitang was not annoyed, smiled... At this moment with a beautiful lady by his side, he was in a very good mood.
