The loud voice, filled with anger, made Xiao Yun'er tremble. The jade chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground, and she hurriedly bent down to pick them up.
Seeing this, Huangfu Mi whispered, "Don't be angry. Why are you taking it out on Third Sister? It's not like she did anything wrong."
The voice was very soft, but Meng Wan heard it clearly. She stood up abruptly: "Yes, you're the one who did something wrong. Why are you still hanging around in front of me like that? How annoying!"
After saying that, he pushed the table away and said, "Enjoy your meal, I'm not eating anymore."
Xiao Yun was truly stunned. She had never seen her sister so angry in all the years she'd known her. She was clearly furious, which was why she was finding fault with everyone. But...
"Brother-in-law, what heinous thing have you done to make my sister so angry?"
Mentioning this brings tears to my eyes. Huangfu Mi sighed, looked at Xiao Yun'er's inquisitive expression, thought for a moment, and then told her the whole story.
Xiao Yun listened quietly, her mouth opening wider and wider as she listened. When she finished, she sighed and said, "No wonder my sister ignores you. If it were me, and you hid this from me and lied to me, I would cut you into a thousand pieces!"
As she finished speaking, she waved her small hand, as if she wanted to turn her hand into a knife and slash at Huangfu Mi.
Huangfu Mi shrank back repeatedly, grabbed her wildly waving hand, and said with a stern face, "Stop joking, I'm so worried, please help me persuade her!"
After saying this, Xiao Yun'er hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, brother-in-law, don't ask me to do this. You know my sister's temper. If I try to persuade her, I'll definitely get into trouble, and I'll be the one who suffers."
That's true. Wan'er is angry, and Xiao Yun'er is so loud and careless. If she can't help, she might even add fuel to the fire.
But... "What can we do? We can't just do nothing and wait for her to calm down, that would take forever!"
"You're silly! Of course we can't wait. Let's think of another way!" Xiao Yun'er blinked.
Huangfu Mi's eyes lit up: "You have a way?"
Xiao Yun chuckled and waved to him. When Huangfu Mi leaned close, she said, "I have an idea..."

Xiao Yun invited Meng Wan to go to the opera, but Meng Wan was full of suspicion. When did this girl start liking to listen to opera?
Suspicion arose in his heart, but he did not refuse. He just wanted to see what she was up to, so he silently followed her to Changyin Pavilion.
As always, Changyin Pavilion was deserted and desolate, which was quite disheartening.
No wonder, although Changyin Pavilion is the best theater in the capital, it is usually not frequented by anyone because it is used by the royal family. As soon as Meng Wan and her companion arrived, someone immediately came to greet them and ushered them inside.
"Your Highness, Third Miss, please come inside. Seats have been prepared for you. Please follow me."
Xiao Yun followed with a giggle, but Meng Wan looked at her with some suspicion. This girl was acting strangely; there was something wrong with her, something really wrong.
She turned her head and glanced around, seeing the crowd of people moving behind the stage, and her brows furrowed even more.
what the hell?
Just then, several people suddenly jumped out from the stage, each dressed in theatrical costumes and holding various colored playing cards, standing there in a row.
Seeing Meng Wan look over, someone shouted, and a row of people flipped the card over together.
On the brightly colored playing cards, a line of words was clearly spelled out: "Wan'er, please forgive me!"
Meng Wan frowned almost imperceptibly, but didn't move. She just turned her head to look at Xiao Yun'er and saw her winking at her. Meng Wan had obviously guessed that this girl was up to something, or was she helping Huangfu Mi!
He immediately glared at her fiercely!
That traitorous girl, let's see how she deals with her!
Xiao Yun stuck out her tongue and ran upstairs to wait for her turn in the next scene.
Meng Wan finally looked away, thinking that with such an exaggerated build-up, the main character should finally make his appearance. Just then, she saw Huangfu Mi walk out carrying a bouquet of yellow roses, heading straight towards her.
Meng Wan was clearly taken aback. Now she was even more certain that only Xiao Yun'er could come up with such a trick. Otherwise, she wouldn't believe that Huangfu Mi would be so romantic!
But that wasn't all. While he was pondering, Huangfu Mi had already walked up to her, handed the flowers to Meng Wan, and then suddenly knelt down on one knee.
This action truly startled Meng Wan. She instinctively took a step back, but Huangfu Mi wouldn't allow it. He grabbed her hand and stuffed the flowers into her hand, saying, "Wan'er, I was wrong this time. Please forgive me. I promise I will never lie to you again from now on!"
Despite his confident assurances, Meng Wan's brows furrowed even more. She took another step back, looked down at him, and said, "Don't be like this, get up first."
"So you've forgiven me?" Huangfu Mi's eyes lit up.
“No.” Meng Wan shook her head cleanly and decisively: “It’s just that you look a bit unsightly like this. Get up first.”
Huangfu Mi instinctively wanted to get up, because he also felt that doing so would be cowardly, but Xiao Yun'er confidently said that women all fall for this kind of thing, so he had no choice but to give it a try.
Just as he was about to get up, he saw Xiao Yun'er, who was standing high up, waving her hand at him. He hesitated for a moment, but still didn't get up: "Forgive me first, then I'll get up."
He said.
Xiao Yun'er gave him a thumbs up and then joined in the cheering, saying to the crowd, "Forgive him, forgive him, forgive him--"
Everyone had been bribed beforehand, so they naturally rushed to follow suit, chanting along with Xiao Yun'er: "Forgive him, forgive him, forgive him--"
For a moment, the vast theater was filled only with a cacophony of sounds, one after another, echoing each other.
Normally, Meng Wan would have readily accepted the situation, but now, with everyone watching and jeering, and Huangfu Mi holding her hand tightly, it was less about getting her to forgive and more about indirectly forcing her to forgive.
But Meng Wan was not that kind of person. The more Huangfu Mi acted this way, the angrier she became. At this moment, she simply shook off his hand and said coldly, "I've never seen such a boring person as you. Please use this time to do something serious and stop making a fool of yourself here."
After saying that, she flung his hand away and turned to leave.
Huangfu Mi tried to reach out and stop her, but it was too late. Meng Wan had already walked far away, leaving him standing there, staring blankly at Xiao Yun'er. What had he done wrong?
