After the oath was taken, Ruan Ruan was led back to her room by the mothers. Gu Wenzhen entered the room and looked around; everything was brand new, showing that careful preparation had been made. After exchanging a few words with Ruan Ruan's two daughters-in-law, Zhao Hongmei went to attend to her duties.

After seeing Zhao Hongmei out of the room, Gu Wenzhen closed the door and took out the betrothal gifts from the Huo family and the red envelopes from the Ruan family relatives from her bag, handing them to her.

"This is the betrothal gift from your Huo family, this is your dowry from your grandparents, this is the wedding gift prepared by your older brothers and sisters, this is from your eldest uncle, and this is from your second uncle. You know about your second uncle's situation; he'll go to the Sun family for a visit first, and we'll have to go back later. When you go back is up to you. Haocheng also rarely gets to come home, so just make sure you come back before your eldest brother's wedding. This is your dowry prepared by your maternal grandparents."

Both the Ruan family elders and the Gu family elders provided a property certificate for a two-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house). The rest of the documents were bankbooks: one for the parents, one for the brothers, and the same for the uncles.

"This is for me, your second uncle, and a few cousins." Well, there are two more savings accounts.

"You can look at these later, put them away for now." Although the door is closed, people come and go outside, so it's inevitable. Put them away now, and you and Huo Haocheng can look at them slowly tonight.

Ruan Ruan pretended to put the passbook deep inside the cabinet, but in reality, she had 520 put the hands into his space.

"Ruan Ruan, I'm coming in!" Huo Yue and Ruan Shiya were standing outside the door. The two best friends hit it off immediately and had come together to bring Ruan Ruan her lunch.

"Come in quickly," Su Yunxin said, opening the door.

"Sister, Yue and I brought you food. Eat quickly, your husband said you didn't eat much this morning, you must be hungry now." The two women, one carrying a bowl of rice and vegetables and the other carrying chicken soup, placed them on the table.

"Then you two stay and have dinner with Ruan Ruan first. We'll go out and meet the elders." With that, the two mothers got up and left, closing the door behind them.

"Wow, she was the younger sister before, and now she's suddenly the older sister-in-law, it's amazing," Huo Yue exclaimed.

"Oh right, so from now on you'll call me 'sister' or 'sister-in-law'?" Ruan Shiya asked curiously.

"No need to call me 'sister-in-law,' just call me by my name, like before." The thought of them calling her "sister-in-law" gave Ruan Ruan goosebumps. Looking at the chicken skin in the bowl, she exclaimed, "Ew!"

"Hahahaha!" Huo Yue and Ruan Shiya were amused by Ruan Ruan's actions.

After lunch, Ruan Ruan felt a little sleepy. She had gotten up too early today. "You guys go eat too, don't worry about me. I'm a little sleepy and want to rest first."

Seeing that she was really starting to cause trouble, the two took their bowls and went outside.

In the courtyard, Huo Haocheng had been watching them closely. When he saw the two of them come out, he walked over and asked, "How did it go?"

"Ruan Ruan said she was a little sleepy and wanted to take a nap first, telling us to come out and eat."

"Okay, then you guys eat quickly." Seeing that Ruan Ruanmei was alright, he went to continue greeting people.

After a few rounds of drinks, the villagers, who had to go to work in the afternoon, all left after the meal. The Ruan family and Gu Wencheng also came to the Sun family's house. The Sun family had called earlier to inform them of the Huo family's arrangements, so they were speeding up their handling of Wu Yijie's matter. They came today to discuss the situation with them.

After confirming the safety of the Sun family, Gu Wencheng and his fellow disciples arranged for people to follow Wu Yijie day and night. They discovered that he had long been colluding with that faction and was having an affair with an illegitimate daughter from one of their families. The two had already fathered a son, and the woman was currently pregnant. No wonder he divorced so decisively, even abandoning the child; it turned out someone had already borne him children.

Now that Wu Yijie's affair has been exposed, it remains to be seen which faction will step in to protect them. It is certain that Wu Yijie is finished, but we will have to wait and see about other matters.

For the Sun family, things are fine as they are now. They can stay away from the capital, preserve their strength, and wait for their return. The Sun family's centuries-old foundation won't collapse so easily.

On the Huo family's side, the three Huo brothers and Huo Haocheng's brothers returned the borrowed tables and chairs, and the three daughters-in-law washed the borrowed dishes and chopsticks, with Huo Yue and Ruan Shiya helping to separate them. The Huo family elders cleaned the yard.

When Ruan Ruan woke up, she saw the Huo family and the Ruan family sitting in the courtyard chatting.

"You're awake!" Seeing Ruan Ruan come out, Huo Haocheng stepped forward and pulled Ruan Ruan to sit next to him.

"Big brother doesn't want to leave Ruan Ruan for a single moment now," Huo Haoshi teased Huo Haocheng.

"Ha, I wonder who was it that had their eyes glued to that woman at noon."

During lunch, Huo Haoshi kept staring at Li Huan, and didn't even hear Huo Haocheng calling him.

"Ha ha ha ha"

"Second brother, you're not much better than eldest brother."

"What happened at noon?" Ruan Ruan asked, somewhat confused.

"Ruan Ruan, do you know that today Huanhuan wore the dress we bought together, and our second brother stared at her like a head-turner? Our eldest brother was calling her just then, but she didn't hear him even after he called twice. Finally, our eldest brother kicked her, and she finally realized what was happening."

"Yes, yes, I saw it all. He made that woman blush."

Huo Yue and Ruan Shiya took turns speaking, their words flowing vividly.

"It seems Haoshi has good news coming soon," Gu Wenzhen remarked.

"He's dating Li Huan. They've already been engaged, and now they're just waiting to propose and exchange betrothal gifts next week." Zhao Hongmei was truly embarrassed by her son's behavior today. She was even teased by the kitchen helpers, who asked, "When are you going to eat their wedding candy again?"

After chatting and laughing for a while, Ruan Ruan and Huo Haocheng showed their parents and uncles around their village. After dinner, they returned to Shen City, while Ruan's father and the others would return to Beijing the next day.
