Chapter 46: Stirring Up Trouble

“What are you doing here?” Yan Hongwei looked at the person standing at her door, clearly displeased.

“Oh, I’m here to bring you some good news! Haven’t you heard? Fu Mingxue got married and registered her marriage today! And her husband is someone really important. I even heard that the man Fu Mingxue found brought all sorts of gifts to her, and right now they’re feasting on meat and fish. So, such a big happy occasion, and you, as her aunt, weren’t even invited to the meal?”

“No matter what, your husband is still Fu Mingxue’s uncle. The new nephew-in-law is visiting for the first time—shouldn’t he at least go and have a few drinks with them?”

“If people didn’t know better, they’d think your two families have cut ties—” Bai’s mother was an expert at fanning the flames.

Seeing Yan Hongwei’s face flush red with anger, she was delighted.

Get angry, go on—hurry up and take your two precious sons over to the Fu family and make a scene.

Best case, you’ll ruin Fu Mingxue’s marriage altogether.

Yan Hongwei was fuming.

Of course, the ones she was angry at were Xu Zifeng and her daughter.

That damned Xu Zifeng—she clearly didn’t care about their branch of the family at all.

She glared at the troublemaker in front of her and shot back immediately:

“What’s our family business got to do with you? Weren’t you just chased down by Xu Zifeng until your legs went weak? How about I ask Xu Zifeng to chase you again with her rolling pin?”

That hit Bai’s mother right where it hurt.

Her face instantly turned black with anger.

“—You really don’t appreciate a good deed. I came to tell you so you wouldn’t be left in the dark and become a laughingstock. After all, Fu Mingxue is part of your Fu family. Now she’s married, and not only did her uncle not say a word, even her grandparents weren’t told… Clearly, they don’t see your Fu family as family at all!”

“Well, anyway, I’ve delivered the message. If you want to be laughed at, that’s your business. Oh, and I almost forgot—Fu Mingxue’s husband is a regimental commander!”

With that, Bai’s mother flounced off.

Yan Hongwei’s attention was caught by those words—regimental commander. Her eyes burned with jealousy.

Xu Zifeng has such a good son-in-law—doesn’t that mean she’ll be looking down on me from now on?

No way, absolutely not.

She couldn’t allow that jinx, who couldn’t even bear a son, to lord it over her.

She spun around and shouted, “Dad, Mom, something big has happened! Fu Mingxue really did get married, and her husband is at Second Brother’s house eating right now—”

Old Lady Fu’s eyes widened. “What did you say?”

Yan Hongwei repeated what she’d heard from Bai’s mother, adding even more fuel to the fire.

Old Lady Fu’s face wrinkled up even more in anger.

Old Man Fu frowned repeatedly.

Clearly, he was furious about this.

“—Dad, Mom, you’re Fu Mingxue’s grandparents. No matter what, she should have told you about her marriage, right? At first I thought it was just gossip, but it turns out to be true. They’ve really gone too far—”

“Let’s go find her. I don’t approve of this marriage,” Old Lady Fu said, livid.

“Dad, Mom, how could she get married just like that? What if she’s been tricked? Why don’t we all go over and take a look? And this time, let’s bring more people with us.”

Yan Hongwei, still a bit traumatized from being beaten by Xu Zifeng earlier, didn’t want to end up like Qu Hongdan, chased halfway down the street.

“Old man, what do you think?” Old Lady Fu asked directly.

Old Man Fu’s face was dark as thunder. He felt his authority in the family had been challenged.

“Go. Let’s go and see.”"
