Chapter 469 How many nights have you stayed up?

"Sister, do you know? Didn't you go to Xiangcheng? One time, I had a fever and I didn't even know it. It was my aunt who discovered it."

Xiao Yurong lay on the table on the soft couch and continued, "Later, Auntie was busy boiling medicine for me and applying handkerchiefs. It was only later that I realized that Auntie's fever was even worse than mine."

"Later, when Madam Xin came, she found out that my aunt was so confused due to the high fever, but she still came to take care of me who had a low fever." Xiao Yurong remembered that time very clearly. At that time, they had already settled down there, and Shang Lan could have completely ignored her.

Sometimes she thought about things like this. When she was sick, Fan only asked the maids to take good care of her, but Shang Lan always did it herself, and even often cooked some food for her, especially during the days of her period, when she never lacked brown sugar and eggs!

"Auntie Lan is indeed a very good and gentle person. A person may be able to pretend to be like that for a day or two, but it is difficult to do so for several years." Xiao Jiuyue liked Shang Lan very much after getting along with her. It is true that girls from the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River are as gentle as water.

"Sister, I believe her." Xiao Yurong's eyes narrowed with a smile.

Soon, the Xiao family was filled with joy. Second Master Xiao happily rewarded all the servants in the mansion with silver. The servants of the Xiao family were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. This month, the servants of the Xiao family had received silver rewards three times, which was enough for a month's wages.

Xiao Jiuyue followed Su Su to the bridal chamber to join in the fun. All the female members of the Xiao family were in the bridal chamber. Looking at Shang Lan in her bright red wedding dress, everyone was joking happily.

"Second sister-in-law, you look especially beautiful today." Third aunt Nian looked at Shang Lan with a smile. She used to be a sister-in-law with Fan. Fan wanted to calculate everything and fight for everything, but she had no ability and made a lot of jokes.

Moreover, Fan liked to kick someone when he was down. When she had been married into the Xiao family for several years and had only given birth to Xiao Tingwu and had not been able to conceive a son, Fan kept mocking her, saying that she had given birth to a son!

He also told Nian that if she couldn't give birth to a son, she should still take a concubine for the Third Master to keep the Third House's bloodline from being cut off.

Nian was furious at the time because she had hurt herself during childbirth and Tingwu was born prematurely, so she was afraid that she would not be able to survive. Because of Fan's words, Nian fell seriously ill.

Fortunately, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xiao, came out and scolded Fan severely. Fan calmed down a lot, and Nian stayed in the backyard to recuperate. Finally, she became pregnant with Jiahong. Otherwise, Fan would have stabbed her every time she saw her.

As for Shang Lan, if the Xiao family hadn't had an accident, Nian would probably have had no chance to meet her. Now it seems that Shang Lan's personality is much better than Fan's. They manage Zhiyun Tower together and have never had a quarrel!

Nian was very happy to be Shang Lan's sister-in-law.

"Third Madam." Shang Lan had just opened her mouth when Nian corrected her, "Second sister-in-law, it's time for you to change your words and call me sister-in-law."

"Yes." Su Su said with a smile: "Third sister-in-law is right, second sister-in-law is now the second wife of the mansion."

Shang Lan's eyes were shining, and Xiao Jiuyue who was standing beside her was shocked. If she was her second uncle, she would also be confused by such a delicate and beautiful little wife!

Shang Lan is not very old, she is not even thirty years old yet, she is young and beautiful. Although her face is not as full of collagen as that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, her skin is still firm. After years of precipitation, she has a gentle and intellectual beauty!

"It's a pity that only our Xiao family saw Second Aunt today. If others saw it, I'm afraid that when this style gets married, all the girls waiting to get married in Shengjing will want to embroider an identical one."

Xiao Jiuyue looked at Shang Lan. Although she had given birth to a son, Shang Lan still maintained a good figure. If no one told her, people would probably think she was an unmarried girl.

The wedding dress sets off Shang Lan's skin, which is whiter than snow. The bright red color of the brocade is not only festive, but also makes people feel radiant when wearing it.

"Miss." Shang Lan's face turned even redder after she teased her, even redder than the rouge she had put on.

"Second Aunt, call me Yue'er from now on." Xiao Jiuyue corrected her. Listening to the noise outside, she said, "Mom, Third Aunt, it's time for us to go out. Second Uncle will be sending people away soon."

"Yes, yes, it's a happy event in life." Su Su and Nian both left with their people, smiling.

"Yuer, your mother is also preparing your wedding dress. Do you want to go and see it and see if you like it?" Su Su suddenly said on the way back.

"Huh?" Xiao Jiuyue was stunned. "I don't even have a fiancé, who should I marry?"

"Yu'er." Su Su took her hand and said, "Ever since your father was named Marquis of Cheng'en, many people have come to us wanting to marry you. However, your father and I have been choosing the wedding dress. Shouldn't we prepare it in advance?"

"A wedding dress naturally requires careful and meticulous work." She simply refused the wedding dress that Su Su had prepared for her before. She was planning to marry Song Mingyuan, but now that she was not getting married, Su Su naturally disliked the wedding dress.

In Hongdu Prefecture, when she had free time, Su Su began to embroider the wedding dress stitch by stitch.

"Mom." Xiao Jiuyue followed Su Su to look at the wedding dress. Although the material was not brocade, the beautiful patterns on it were embroidered stitch by stitch. It looked very luxurious just by looking at it.

"Mom, when did you embroider this? Your eyesight isn't very good to begin with, and you stayed up all night embroidering the wedding dress for me, right?" Xiao Jiuyue gently stroked the wedding dress, feeling incredibly moved.

"No." Su Su casually glanced over how she embroidered it and asked, "Just tell me, do you like it? Is there anything you want to change?"

"Of course I like it." Xiao Jiuyue shook her head repeatedly and said, "No need to change it. It's so beautiful. It would be a shame to change even a single place."

"Yu'er, do you have a man you like in your heart?" Su Su looked at Xiao Jiuyue's cautious expression and asked, "Your father is very busy now, and I have received many invitations recently. Your father and I are thinking about finding a good husband for you. It doesn't matter if his family background is not high, as long as he treats you sincerely."

"Mom, I don't want to get married." Xiao Jiuyue took her hand and said, "I just want to stay with you."

"Silly girl, how can you stay here forever?" Su Su chuckled and stroked Xiao Jiuyue's arm. "I thought it was a good thing that your marriage was delayed before. Now, your father and I are thinking about choosing a good husband for you."

Su Su kept mentioning "husband" and "others" as she began to talk about a famous man in Shengjing. Xiao Jiuyue quickly changed the subject and said, "Mother, I forgot to tell you that when I went to Qingfeng Temple that day, I donated 10,000 taels of silver for incense offerings."

Ten thousand taels, incense money?
