Chapter 2494 Return to Tianyun (60)
But when Tao Chengyin saw Tao Mingye coming in, he asked Tao Mingye to sit down. The illegitimate sons and daughters all knew that Tao Mingye was in poor health, so Tao Chengyin asked Tao Mingye to sit down. They all understood and envied that Tao Mingye was always so loved by his father.
But Cao, Tao Minghai, and Wan Banyan felt differently. They felt very uncomfortable that Tao Chengyin treated Tao Mingye, a illegitimate son, so well.
As soon as Tao Mingye sat down, he pulled Su Xin to sit on the chair next to him. Su Xin sat down without any hesitation.
Tao Chengyin frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Cao, Tao Minghai, and Wan Banyan wanted to say that this was not proper, but since the head of the family Tao Chengyin said nothing, they could not say anything.
Tao Minghai and Wan Banyan knelt on the futon and offered tea to Tao Chengyin and Cao respectively.
After Tao Chengyin and Cao had given red envelopes and called them, Tao Minghai and Wan Banyan stood up.
Seeing Wan Banyan standing up, Cao said to her kindly, "Banyan, although you have been to this house several times before, you don't recognize them. That's your concubine Feng, that's your concubine Zhu, and that's your concubine Fang."
"Hello, concubines." Wan Banyan didn't have to kneel for these concubines of Tao Chengyin, but only bowed slightly to the three concubines one by one.
Concubines Feng, Zhu, and Fang only gave small red envelopes as a token of their feelings. Wan Banyan was very disgusted and didn't want any of them, but she didn't want to lose her manners, so she pretended to be respectful and took them all.
Cao pointed at Tao Mingye and Su Xin and introduced them, "That's your elder brother and sister-in-law."
Wan Banyan didn't even see the etiquette of peers, but just smiled and shouted, "elder brother, elder sister-in-law."
Tao Chengyin frowned when he saw this.
Cao was also a little dissatisfied. This is the first day of marriage, you have to act like a prostitute even if you have to pretend. Seeing Tao Chengyin frowning, Cao was thinking that she would give her daughter-in-law some advice later. Tao Chengyin, the head of the family, loved Tao Mingye very much, so she couldn't treat him like this, otherwise she would make him unhappy.
Seeing that she didn't even show them a courtesy of equals, Su Xin and Tao Mingye didn't stand up to return the courtesy, but remained sitting, smiling and calling her "sister-in-law", which was considered a greeting to Wan Banyan.
Wan Banyan was the daughter of Lord Wan, and she was arrogant. Seeing that Tao Mingye was a bastard, and Su Xin almost married her husband, she felt uncomfortable, and didn't even show them a courtesy of equals. Who knew that Su Xin and Tao Mingye didn't even stand up in front of her, a young lady from the Marquis's Mansion, which immediately made her very angry, but she couldn't get angry because Tao Chengyin was present.
"This is your third brother, fourth sister, fifth brother, and sixth sister." Cao suppressed her dissatisfaction and introduced Tao Mingsheng, Tao Mingxiang, Tao Mingqing, and Tao Mingfang, four illegitimate sons and daughters, to Wan Banyan in turn.
Wan Banyan warmly exchanged greetings with the four people. Wan Banyan even took four small brocade boxes from the maid, which contained gifts, and gave one to each person, "This is a small gift from the second sister-in-law. The second sister-in-law has just entered this family, and you all need to take care of her in the future."
The four people felt that this was a hot potato, because there were only four portions, and their eldest brother and sister-in-law did not have any. It was clear that the second sister-in-law did not prepare any gifts for their eldest brother and sister-in-law, but the gifts from the second sister-in-law were the first gifts she gave, so they could not refuse them. They could only accept them with a dry smile.
