Early the next morning, Mrs. Chen invited Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Yao to have breakfast at the inn, and then rushed to the Chen family.
When Lu Yunhong and Wang Xiu got up, they heard from the three sisters that the elders had already left.
When they passed by, they saw Chen Anbang greeting guests at the door, while uncle Chen, Lu Shouchang and other gentlemen were sitting in the main hall chatting.
In addition, the inner courtyard is where Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang sit, and some relatives from the family also come to help. There are people inside and outside at once.
Chen Shengfang wore a goose-yellow cross-collar skirt, a plum-colored double-breasted gown, a flowing bun, and jasper beads and pearls. She looked stunning.
Standing, very beautiful.
Wang Xiu handed her the gift he had prepared. Everyone knew Wang Xiu's identity and urged Chen Shengfang to open it and take a look.
Chen Shengfang was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to open it or not.
Wang Xiu saw this and said, "Open it and take a look. I don't know if you like it or not?"
Chen Shengfang knew that Wang Xiu had forgiven her a long time ago, so in addition to feeling uneasy, she also had a small expectation in her heart.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the box was opened, she was stunned on the spot.
It was a set of red gold headpieces, hair crowns, gold hairpins, earrings, and necklaces. They were all brand new. They were not worn by Wang Xiu, but rather seemed to have been specially made by her.
As expected, Wang Xiudao was heard: "I don't know what you like. The lady boss in the store said that you can wear this set when you get married. I think it won't be a waste."
Mrs. Ding had long been dumbfounded. This thing cost at least one thousand taels of silver. She quickly said: "How could such a precious gift be wasted? Our family Shengfang is really lucky to have such a good sister-in-law like you."
.”
"Shengfang, please thank your sister-in-law quickly."
Everyone was envious, and Mrs. Yao's eyes almost dropped.
There were so many good things inlaid on the red gold head, including pink pearls, a big southern pearl, and rubies. Any one of them could be worth a lot of silver, but Wang Xiu actually gave them all.
Chen Shengfang.
With such a large sum of money, when Lu Yunran gets married, he will be given a dowry of at least three thousand taels. With the addition prepared by Lu Shouchang and his wife, Lu Yunran's dowry will definitely be quite large.
Mrs. Yao was searching for Lu Yunran at this time, but unexpectedly saw Mrs. Zhang pulling Lu Yunran to talk in the corridor. Lu Yunran looked like she was already attracted to her.
Mrs. Yao was anxious and quickly squeezed past.
Here, Chen Shengfang felt that she had suffered a lot and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Wang Xiu.
Wang Xiu held her hand firmly and said: "Since you are Yun Hong's cousin, I naturally love you. Apart from other things, if the Dong family dares to bully you in the future, just come to the villa to complain to me.
"
"But you also have to have good conduct and don't let others get into trouble, otherwise I won't be able to help you even if I want to."
Chen Shengfang knew that Wang Xiu was giving her a heads up, and immediately said gratefully: "I have remembered everything my sister-in-law said. From now on, if I am not good, I will be punished by my sister-in-law."
As he spoke, he began to cry uncomfortably.
Wang Xiudao: "We can't cry today. We don't have a place to cry today. If we want to cry, we have to cry when we get married."
Chen Shengfang burst into tears and laughed. Mrs. Ding quickly stepped forward and pulled her away, telling her to put away her head and face, which were items packed at the bottom of the box.
Today, people are coming and going, but you can't let others get away with you.
Since the marriage was settled, Chen Shengfang's heart has stabilized, and her relationship with her stepmother has also eased a lot.
She began to gradually understand that no matter how bad her stepmother was, she never treated her harshly, and no matter how nice others said her, she was just watching from afar.
Wang Xiu saw that the Chen family had restrained themselves because of the incident with the Duan family, and felt relieved inwardly.
After all, it was her mother-in-law's natal family, and she didn't want to cause too much embarrassment. In the end, there was no contact between the two families.
She had made the mask for Lu Yunran, but she still brought it because she was worried about Chen's face.
She thought that if Chen Shengfang was well-behaved, then give it to her, and if she was not well-behaved, forget it. She had seen that Chen Shengfang had indeed changed a lot in the two days since she came, and she had also changed in her treatment of Ding. She knew that she must have reflected on it.
, this was brought.
Moreover, Huang Shaoyu's case reminded her that it is impossible to survive alone. Chen Shengfang is still a little girl, and it is just a temporary obsession that she went astray. If she is willing to form a true and good relationship, Chen Shengfang will be grateful to her for the rest of her life, and maybe in the future
There will be times when it comes in handy for the Chen family or the Dong family.
Of course, even if it is really not needed, for the sake of her mother-in-law, she is still willing to spend the thousand taels.
Over there, Lu Yunran was chatting happily with Mrs. Zhang. Seeing that Mrs. Yao was about to go over and cause trouble, Wang Xiu stretched out his hand and successfully restrained Mrs. Yao.
Wang Xiu asked: "At what age did Mr. Yao leave home to study?"
When Mrs. Yao saw that it was Wang Xiu, she asked about her son, thinking that there was a drama about the marriage, and quickly said: "I went out to study when I was thirteen, but he came back to visit us last year. The child was filial and brought us gifts." In fact.
Not only that, last year, my son said that he had the one he liked, and she was our lady. But now he has agreed to get married with the Lu family. It seems that it is impossible for him to marry that lady.
Mrs. Yao felt heartbroken when she thought of this. If her son could be with that young lady, maybe that young lady would be more powerful than Wang Xiu and have a larger dowry.
Wang Xiu didn't know what Mrs. Yao was thinking, but she nodded slightly, thinking that if she had bad conduct, her fifth brother wouldn't be able to be a matchmaker.
However, as the daughter-in-law of the Yao family, she has to make a living under the hands of Mrs. Yao. This is not easy, and I don’t know which girl can handle it.
When Wang Xiu saw that Lu Yunran and Mrs. Zhang had finished speaking, she immediately let go of Mrs. Yao and took Lu Yunran away.
When they reached the street, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief together and couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
Lu Yunran said: "There are too many people. The male guests are composing poems and making couplets. We female guests can only stay in the backyard and talk. It's so boring."
Wang Xiudao: "As long as my uncle's house is too narrow, we can guess riddles together."
Lu Yunran said: "That Mrs. Yao doesn't know what's going on, she doesn't like me, and she wants to scold me in the same tone as lecturing her daughter-in-law. It's really baffling."
Wang Xiu hummed: "It is human nature to look down on you and the power behind you. She just forgot that you should marry a girl with your head up and a wife with your head down. The Yao family is not a noble family, but they want to marry a rich lady.
She wants a generous dowry and dazzling power, she wants it so beautifully!!"
"It's okay. I'll just give her a cold shoulder for two days. If she finds out that we are still in contact with each other because of her mistake, and if she dares to do anything else, my sister-in-law will take care of her."
Lu Yunran smiled sweetly and said, "I'm naturally not afraid when my sister-in-law is here."
While talking, Wang Xiu's eyes lit up when he saw someone carrying roasted sweet potatoes for sale.
She said to Lu Yunran: "Stay at the door and don't move. I'll buy two. We'll eat before we go in."
Lu Yunran said: "I'll go with my sister-in-law."
Wang Xiu refused: "You are also the protagonist today. I don't know how many people are watching you in the dark. Let my sister-in-law do things like buying sweet potatoes. Anyway, there are people who want them."
The sister-in-law was so good at joking that Lu Yunran couldn't help laughing and nodded.
Wang Xiu hurried to buy, when two men came. One of them walked in a hurry and shouted: "It should be here, the Chen family in Mudu is also very famous."
Wang Xiu looked up and saw two young men. He thought they might be Chen Anbang's classmates, but didn't care.
But what she didn't know was that the moment she raised her eyes, one of the younger men stopped hurriedly, his anxious eyes tightened, and then said: "Brother Zhang, go ahead, I'll eat a roasted sweet potato before I come back"
.”
The man in front heard this and said with a smile: "Brother Yao, you are really defeated in front of the sweet potato stall."
Brother Zhang? Brother Yao?
Wang Xiu raised his head and was slightly startled.
