Chapter 29 General Weiyuan's Wife
Chapter 29 General Weiyuan's Wife
No matter who it is, Shen Hanyu will never meet them.
At 7:15 PM, Shen Hanyu had already drifted off to sleep. She woke up early the next morning, feeling refreshed and ready to go to the polo match.
Upon seeing Shen Hanyu's clothes, Liang Fangrong couldn't help but mutter, "Isn't it too flashy?"
Liang Fangrong was also invited to go today. She hadn't been out for a long time and was indeed a bit bored, so she didn't decline this time.
Shen Hanyu looked at her clothes and said, "It's not that exaggerated. Do you expect me to dress like a beggar at a polo match, all drab and dusty?"
Liang Fangrong was speechless for a moment after being choked by Shen Hanyu's question, but what Shen Hanyu said made sense.
Shen Hanyu got into the carriage, while Liang Fangrong was with Xu Ying and Lin Lihua.
Lin Lihua was able to patiently spend time with Xu Ying, all for the sake of today's polo match.
She thought that it would be great if she could find a girl from a good family for Liang Sihan at the polo match.
Thinking this, she casually mentioned it to Xu Ying.
Xu Ying remained calm and composed. Thinking of Liang Sihan's personality, she felt disgusted but said aloud, "I will keep an eye out for you, but these things can't be rushed. You should persuade Sihan to settle down."
Lin Lihua nodded and said, "I have been trying to persuade her, and Sihan has been very obedient lately, unlike before."
Xu Ying then steered the conversation toward Liang Fangrong.
"I've recently shown Hanyu a lot of potential husbands, and we can go together to meet them later. They seem quite satisfied with Hanyu."
Liang Fangrong pursed her lips, recalling what Shen Hanyu had said before, and finally agreed.
"I'm glad you're satisfied. I trust your judgment."
Xu Ying smiled; her judgment was naturally excellent.
Shen Hanyu saw Liang Ruoyan. Liang Ruoyan had said she was sick yesterday, but today her face was rosy and she didn't look sick at all.
When Liang Ruoxue noticed that Liang Ruoyan had brought something, she couldn't help but complain, "Why are you bringing a zither to the polo match? Do you think polo is played with a zither?"
Liang Ruoyan gave her a look as if she were an idiot, feeling speechless and unwilling to pay any attention, and got into the carriage on her own.
Shen Hanyu glanced at where Liang Ruoyan had placed her zither. Who was Liang Ruoyan going to play it for? The Third Prince?
Now was not the time to think about these things. Shen Hanyu sat in the carriage, which swayed and moved forward. After a while, it stopped at the entrance of the polo club.
The sounds coming from inside were lively.
Upon seeing the carriage of the Marquis of Anping's residence, Wei Ming jogged over and greeted Shen Hanyu.
"Come quickly, my mother is eager to see you."
Wei Ming grabbed Shen Hanyu's hand and ran inside. Liang Fangrong had just gotten off the carriage when Shen Hanyu had already disappeared.
Shen Hanyu met Yang Yueying, the wife of General Weiyuan.
When Yang Yueying saw Wei Ming leading someone over, she knew that this must be Shen Hanyu.
"Is that Miss Shen from the Marquis's mansion?"
Shen Hanyu nodded in agreement and bowed obediently.
Yang Yueying waved her hand, "Come closer so I can take a look."
Shen Hanyu did as she was told, and Wei Ming followed, clinging to Yang Yueying and acting coquettishly.
"Mother, you've seen the person."
Yang Yueying smiled and said, "I really owe you a lot last time, otherwise my child would have suffered so much."
"It was just a small favor. I happen to know how to swim, so I just helped out."
Yang Yueying patted Shen Hanyu's hand, finding her increasingly pleasing to the eye.
"There's a polo match today. I heard from Ming'er that you can play polo. Go and have fun!"
Yang Yueying didn't want to take up too much of their time, so she invited Wei Ming and Shen Hanyu to come and play together. However, she still reminded Wei Ming not to go on the field to fight.
Wei Ming agreed, knowing her own physical condition and naturally not wanting to do anything foolish.
Shen Hanyu didn't rush to go on stage. She looked around and saw many familiar faces.
She watched from afar as Pei Du and Xu Zhun appeared together over there, and then someone appeared next to Pei Du—it was Pei Xingzhi.
It seems the Lady of the County Duke has also come today.
Xu Zhun did see Shen Hanyu, but since Pei Xingzhi was there, he didn't make a sound and walked over with Pei Du without looking to the side.
Pei Xingzhi clung to Pei Du like a leech, and for some reason, he kept sticking to him, making Pei Du look very unwell.
"Brother, you seem to dislike me."
Pei Xingzhi looked hurt.
Pei Du glanced at him, then suddenly smiled and said, "Do you think I don't know what you've done?"
Pei Xingzhi stopped in his tracks, a crack appearing on his face. Pei Du took this opportunity to leave with Xu Zhun.
Xu Zhun walked away before whispering a reminder: "The Earl of Guangning and his wife came together today."
Pei Du looked in one direction and saw Zhou Yurong and his wife Xiao Ran getting off the carriage together. Zhou Yurong reached out his hand, and Xiao Ran snorted coldly, placing her hand on his and walking inside with him.
"Madam, come here. The polo match is quite lively today."
Xu Zhun shook his head, thinking to himself that this was troublesome.
Pei Du suddenly remembered something, "Did his wife hear about the outrageous things he did before?"
Before Xu Zhun could react to what Pei Du meant, he saw Xiao Ran go inside, let go of his hand, and walk towards Shen Hanyu.
Zhou Yurong frowned, but said nothing, letting Xiao Ran go.
Xiao Ran stopped in front of Shen Hanyu. When Shen Hanyu saw the old acquaintance, the smile on her face faded.
"This humble woman greets the Lady of the Marquis of Guangning."
“There’s no need to be so polite.” Xiao Ran’s expression hardened. “I didn’t expect Miss Shen to recognize me. I’ve been hearing Miss Shen’s name quite often lately.”
She spoke in a sarcastic tone, and anyone could see her hostility.
Shen Hanyu lowered her eyes, her obedient and timid appearance infuriating Xiao Ran for no reason.
What Xiao Ran was referring to was that the Earl of Guangning had harassed her twice before, and someone with ulterior motives had leaked this information to Xiao Ran.
Unfortunately, this person with ulterior motives was standing right in front of Xiao Ran, pretending to be obedient.
"I don't understand what you mean, Madam." Shen Hanyu's eyes were sincere, as if she really didn't know.
Xiao Ran scoffed, "Miss Shen, come and play a game of polo with me."
The polo match had already started, and Shen Hanyu and Xiao Ran looked towards the field.
Having been wronged, Xiao Ran naturally wanted to get revenge elsewhere, and also humiliate Shen Hanyu in the process.
Wei Ming had just pleaded for mercy when Shen Hanyu readily agreed.
She looked surprised. Shen Hanyu patted Wei Ming's hand, which reassured Wei Ming a little. She had noticed that Shen Hanyu wasn't the impulsive type during this time, so she must have other plans for her promise.
Xiao Ran was somewhat surprised to see Shen Hanyu agree so readily.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you next time."
Shen Hanyu walked back. She was still three people short. It would be easy for Xiao Ran to find people, but it was different for her.
If she needed to gather four people, Shen Hanyu had a number of candidates in mind.
"I'll help you find someone."
Wei Ming took the initiative to speak.
"Thank you."
Before Wei Ming could help, Lin Rushuang, who had been watching for an unknown amount of time, suddenly appeared from the side.
"If you beg me, I'll fight with you."
Lin Rushuang raised her chin, her expression awkward.
