Chapter 208: The 3rd wife is not at peace, and the 3rd wife suffers
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Lao Ba and Yun Yan, but the two parties just smiled at each other and nothing else happened!
It really fits the saying, as long as we are not embarrassed, then you are the ones who are embarrassed! The prince and the eldest brother are men after all, and they are thick-skinned, but the princesses and the others are almost blushing, and they want to say something, but they can't say it?
When the Crown Princess and the others saw Yunyan holding the chopsticks calmly and eating without any affect at all, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly, and they felt that they had really worried in vain!
The Crown Princess and the others simply forgot about what had just happened and became lively again. The concubines' table, seeing that the other two tables had no objections, also picked up their chopsticks and started eating tacitly. There were even a few concubines who were on good terms with the two tables whispering to the side!
Lao Shi listened to the noisy noises from the two tables next door, and looked at his table, where everyone was silent like mutes. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. After all, it was a birthday, so he wanted to have some fun.
The Tenth Old Man rolled his eyes and said, "Today is my birthday after all, can you please give me some face? You guys are making me lose face, okay? If I had known you would do this, I wouldn't have invited you. It's really a waste of my time to entertain you!"
The Tenth Brother's disdain was simply too obvious, but it was precisely because of his disdain that their table became lively. The bosses also remembered that they were here to celebrate their brother's birthday, not to cause trouble!
The ninth brother took up his glass first, clinked it with the tenth brother's glass, and then said without any sincerity: "Come on, come on, don't you just want to drink? Brother Jiu will accompany you. I will accompany you today. Don't leave until you are drunk. Is that okay?"
After the Ninth Brother finished speaking, he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. Although the Tenth Brother felt disgusted, he also finished the wine in his glass!
With the ninth child starting the conversation, the atmosphere became more lively. Everyone was saying something, wishing the tenth child a happy birthday! It was so lively! Finally, we had the excitement of a birthday celebration!
Even the Tenth Lady shouted, "Everyone, have a drink." The hostess had already spoken, and everyone picked up their glasses generously, except Yunyan, whose glass was filled with juice!
When the Tenth and Ninth Concubines saw that there was no wine in Yunyan's glass, they didn't say anything because they had been told by the Ninth and Tenth Concubines that Yunyan didn't drink!
But the Crown Princess and the others refused, thinking that this was too unfair, and they started to make a fuss one by one!
The Crown Princess put down the wine glass she had just raised, frowned slightly, and asked with a hint of confusion: "Eh..., why is there no wine in Eighth Sister-in-law's glass? It's different from ours, Tenth Sister-in-law, this is what's wrong with you. How can you favor one over the other?"
The Tenth Lady smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, you don't know this! Eighth sister-in-law doesn't drink. Our master specifically told me not to let her drink a single drop of wine today, otherwise my master will punish me!"
Yunyan also showed an apologetic smile and said, "I am not good at drinking and I get drunk easily! In order not to disturb everyone's interest, let me drink juice instead!"
As soon as Yunyan finished speaking, the Third Lady spoke again immediately, as if she had completely forgotten the loss she had just suffered!
The Third Lady looked at Yunyan with disdain and said, "Eighth Sister-in-law, how can this be? We are all drinking, but you are the only one drinking juice. People who know you know that you are not a good drinker, but people who don't know you think we are bullying you."
Sure enough, people who can't speak are annoying no matter when they speak!
The Crown Princess regretted her meddling. She didn't understand why the Third Lady couldn't see the situation clearly. Everyone was present. Was it really good for her to target Yunyan so blatantly?
A trace of impatience flashed in the Tenth Concubine's eyes. Just as she was about to retort, she was pulled on the sleeve by the Ninth Concubine beside her!
The Ninth Lady smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? We are all family members and we can drink whatever we want. If Third Sister-in-law doesn't want to drink, that's fine too. No one is forcing you!"
After the Ninth Lady finished speaking, she turned to the Third Lady's maid and said, "What are you still standing there for? Didn't you hear your Lady say she didn't want to drink? Why don't you change the wine quickly?"
The Tenth Lady was laughing so hard that she almost bent over. She knew that it must be a good thing when the Ninth Lady held her back!
The Sanfujin's personal maid was about to kneel down crying. What was going on? Why was the blame put on her?
Seeing that Third Lady was about to explode with anger, the Crown Princess hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright! Ninth sister-in-law, please say less! Third sister-in-law, you too, all these delicious foods can't stop your mouth! Okay, those who want to drink, we drink, those who want to drink juice, we drink juice, this is settled, no more trouble!"
Once the Crown Princess opened her mouth, who would dare to complain? Even if they had resentment in their hearts, they were still respectful on the surface, because she was the Crown Princess? And they were just the wives of the princes?
Just like that, everyone started drinking again with a discordant heart!
Yunyan almost couldn't hold back the smile on her face. She thought, what's all this? It's just a meal. Why is there so much going on? If she had known this, she would never have agreed to let Lao Ba come out!
Yunyan and the others were quiet at the table, but Old Eight was not going to be quiet. Instead, he raised his wine glass with a smile and said to Old Three, "Third brother, come here, I'll toast you!"
The tenth brother rolled his eyes and immediately knew that the third brother was going to be in trouble. He quickly raised his glass and followed the eighth brother to toast the third brother!
The third brother also picked up the wine glass and started drinking with a smile. However, he had no idea about the situation at all. He didn't think that what happened at Yunyan's table just now would affect him!
But unexpectedly, after the third brother finished a glass, the eighth brother started toasting him again. At first, the third brother really didn't understand the situation, but after drinking more than ten glasses in a row, no matter how stupid he was, he reacted!
I just toasted him. If this isn't a grudge, then what is it?
The third brother suppressed his anger and said through gritted teeth: "Eighth brother, what do you want to do?"
But Lao Ba said innocently: "Third brother, why can't I understand what you are saying?"
The third brother took a few deep breaths and felt like he was about to explode with anger. He had never seen anyone more shameless than the eighth brother!
The third brother was so angry that his eyes turned red. He still gritted his teeth and said, "How have I offended you? Are you trying to get me drunk today?"
