I've Got This Cannon Fodder Trope Covered!

Chapter 15

Not knowing how the situation would unfold, it was crucial not to escalate things rashly. Wei Hanyu was from the fourth branch, and her mother was also present today. Naturally, she needed to be informed to handle her daughter's incident, and as the eldest daughter-in-law of the main branch, Madam Qian also had to be involved.

After instructing the maid, Wei Hanshuang's smile vanished, replaced by a cold gaze, "Ranran, let's go and see."

Jiuqu Pavilion was not far away. In less than a cup of tea, Wei Hanzhang saw a group of people gathered not far away.

Up close, Wei Hanyu was still sitting on the ground, her wet hair clinging to her face, wrapped in a man's coat. Wei Hansu was crouched beside her, holding her. A mix of men and women from the Wei family encircled them.

This scene sent a chill through Wei Hanzhang. A guest had an accident, and instead of helping her change into dry clothes, the Marquis Yongle's household let her be gawked at. What kind of hospitality was this?

Or were there no people from the Marquis Yongle's household present?

Despite just returning home, Wei Hanzhang was already annoyed. As the legitimate daughter of the heir of Marquis Zhongyong, Wei Hanshuang's expression was even colder. Her swift approach drew the crowd's attention.

One sister was graceful and elegant, with a stern expression, exuding authority.

The other was vibrant and beautiful, like a jade statue. Even without expression, she outshone the picturesque spring scenery around her.

The noisy scene instantly quieted down.

A lively girl, about eleven or twelve, stepped out from the crowd. Seeing Wei Hanshuang, she hesitated for a moment, then smiled, "Sister Hanshuang, you're here?"

Wei Hanshuang ignored her, giving her a brief glance before heading straight to her cousins on the ground. Her cold expression softened slightly, "Why haven't you gone to a side room?"

Seeing them was like seeing saviors for Wei Hansu. She hurriedly replied, "The Third Miss of the Marquis Yongle's household said this matter was serious. She didn't dare to make decisions on her own and wanted to wait for the madam."

Didn't dare to make decisions?

What decision was needed?

Just for changing clothes, and they needed a decision?

Wei Hanzhang turned to look at the girl who had just called "Sister Hanshuang." Clearly, this was the Third Miss of the Marquis Yongle's household.

Wei Hanshuang's future sister-in-law, Shen Yu's legitimate sister.

Was this an attempt to show her future sister-in-law who's boss?

Did the Marquis Yongle's household condone this?

Ridiculous!

Wei Hanzhang's mind raced, and her expression grew colder, while Wei Hanshuang said nothing.

She bent down to help Wei Hanyu up and addressed the maid, "Today's banquet should have rooms prepared for guests. Take us there."

"...Yes," the maid, likely a trusted aide of the Marchioness, hesitated briefly before complying.

They hadn't walked far when they bumped into a group of people.

It was Wei Hanye, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Wei family's current generation, now married into Duke Jiang's Manor as the heir's wife. She had likely rushed over upon hearing about the incident with her younger sister.
