Chapter 1147: 290: Arrest Wu Yanyun_3

How could they be absent from such an important occasion!

How will outsiders view our Wu Family after this? This is a matter that concerns the honor of the Wu Family, and large clans care deeply about such matters.

Shangguan Xi also felt wronged.

Ever since Ni Cuihua and Shangguan Dehui disappeared, all sorts of rumors had been buzzing around her.

She knew her parents must have run into some trouble, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been absent like this without any reason.

Wu Chenjun blocked Shangguan Xi’s path, “Great-uncle, this has nothing to do with Xiaoxi, you have no reason to blame her! Moreover, I believe my in-laws are not that kind of people. Please don’t jump to conclusions and make innocent people suffer before understanding what happened.”

The old matriarch of the Wu Family tapped her walking stick, “Today, in front of so many people, your in-laws did not show their faces, how will outsiders look at our Wu Family in the future! If this spreads, everyone will think it’s our Wu Family’s lack of graciousness!”

Wu Chenjun continued, “Aren’t Xiaoxi’s grandmother and maternal grandparents here? Aren’t the faces of these three elders prestigious enough?”

The old matriarch of the Wu Family retorted, “Chenjun, you’re young and you don’t understand the intricacies of social interactions! Even if these three elders didn’t come today, no one would say anything! But it’s different for your in-laws; they are Xiaoxi’s parents!”

At this point, the old matriarch of the Wu Family looked towards Shangguan Xi and continued, “Xiaoxi, I know you’re a good child, so I don’t blame you, nor your father! But that stepmother of yours is to blame! She must have instigated something, otherwise, your father wouldn’t be so confused as to miss his own daughter’s wedding!”

“Xiaoxi, since she doesn’t care about her daughter’s reputation, from now on, you don’t have to acknowledge that stepmother anymore! Such a person really can’t be presented in public!”

“Grandma!” Shangguan Xu, who had been silent, stood up from the sofa, “Aren’t your words a bit too much?”

He had been silent before because they were indeed at fault, but now, he had to stand up!

He didn’t know the reason why his parents missed Shangguan Xi’s wedding.

When Shangguan Dehui and Ni Cuihua left, they mentioned it to him, just saying they would go out for a while and asked him to look after the house. He didn’t expect that their leaving would turn into almost a whole day.

The old matriarch of the Wu Family looked at Shangguan Xu with an authoritative face, “If she can do such a thing, why can’t I say it! Our Wu Family is certainly not a mediocre family that can’t be seen in public!”

Because of this statement, the air fell into a silence.

Shangguan Xu’s face turned somewhat unsightly.

Shangguan Xi’s eyes began to redden.

“No matter what, today you must give me an explanation! Otherwise, whether Xiaoxi acknowledges her mother in the future is not up to me, but our Wu Family will definitely not recognize this mother-in-law!”

At this point, Zhao Yu couldn’t care about the consequences and stood up from the sofa, “Old lady, you should be grateful that today’s wedding could still be successfully held!”

Had it been any other family, chaos would have ensued!

If it weren’t for Ni Yang keeping the overall situation in mind, the wedding of Shangguan Xi and Zuo Ling might have to wait until next year.

“Duoduo, do you know what happened?” Shangguan Xi looked at Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu nodded and briefly explained the situation.

Upon hearing that Little Ni Yun had been taken away by Zuo Ling and was even subjected to life-threatening danger, Shangguan Xi turned pale, staggering a few steps before being caught by Wu Chenjun, who was behind her; otherwise, she would have fallen to the ground.

Wu Chenjun quickly consoled Shangguan Xi, “Xiaoxi, don’t panic, Yunyun is blessed with good fortune, she will definitely be fine.”

The Wu Family, which had been deeply angry, now all lowered their hostility.

After all, this was a matter of life and death!

The old matriarch of the Wu Family’s face couldn’t hide her unease, “What about my in-laws and mother-in-law, such a big thing happened, how could they not inform us? If it’s too difficult to speak of, we could have thought of a solution together to look for her!”

Zhao Yu said, “If the issue was made known to everyone, could the wedding have been held smoothly? My maternal grandparents kept it secret for fear of delaying the auspicious time and went to look on their own! I did not expect you to speak so poorly of them! Kind intentions are treated like an ungrateful deed!”

The old matriarch of the Wu Family was momentarily speechless, filled with regret for her previous behavior.
