Shen Wan Tang's older sister, who had been reborn, snatched her marriage arrangement and pushed the Prince of Ning's heir, who had become a monk, onto her. "The Royal Estate is prospero...
Chapter 656 Getting Married
After Gu Qianhan left, Shen Wantang's courtyard became busy again.
Moreover, thanks to Granny Yan's guidance, the maids became much more organized this time. As an old servant of the Duke's mansion, she had experienced many things and could resolve issues that Dujuan and the others couldn't handle with just a few words.
Originally, Shen Wantang didn't care much about the wedding ceremony, so he let Du Juan, Qin Xin and the others do whatever they wanted, as long as it was roughly the same. Anyway, there weren't many relatives in the Shen family, so no one would complain.
But Granny Yan didn't think so. She cared much more about the bride than Shen Wantang, and she didn't want to skip any of the proper ceremonies.
This kept Dujuan and the others extremely busy.
Although Granny Yan was strict with the maids, she was very respectful to her mistress, Shen Wantang. Moreover, fearing that Shen Wantang would be tired all day the next day, she specially helped her to rest early so that she could get more sleep and be in good spirits for the wedding the next day.
Shen Wantang wasn't actually sleepy, but she couldn't resist Granny Yan's kindness, so she had no choice but to lie down on the bed.
Unexpectedly, she actually fell asleep.
At 3:45 AM, Shen Wantang was woken up by Granny Yan.
"Second Miss, it's time to get up."
Shen Wantang opened her eyes groggily and saw that it was still pitch black outside. She couldn't help but ask, "Granny, what time is it? I feel like I just fell asleep a little while ago."
"It's already the hour of Yin (3-5 AM). The second young lady went to bed at the hour of Zi (11 AM-1 PM), so she's only slept for two hours at most, which is a bit short."
As she spoke, Granny Yan helped her up from the bed and, while Shen Wantang was still in a daze, handed her a cup of strong tea: "Please rinse your mouth, Second Miss."
Shen Wantang answered it subconsciously and rinsed her mouth.
Du Juan took the teacup away, and then Granny Yan said, "Second Miss, close your eyes."
Shen Wantang had just woken up and, without thinking much, subconsciously did as she was told.
The next moment, a warm handkerchief was placed on her face.
After gently wiping her face, Granny Yan changed the handkerchief and wiped her hands and feet.
Finally, he took a comb and combed her long hair from head to toe, his movements as steady and gentle as ever.
Even when she was in the Prince Ning's mansion, Shen Wantang had never been served so well and comfortably. She couldn't help but lift her chin and think, since Granny Yan is so good, should she ask her to come over from Madam Gu?
In her past life, she had Granny Chai by her side to keep the maids in check, which saved her a lot of trouble. In this life, she doesn't have Granny Chai anymore, but Granny Yan seems to be more capable than Granny Chai!
Once this thought takes hold, it's hard to suppress.
Shen Wantang chatted with Granny Yan without making a sound, and also inquired about her family situation.
But before they could exchange more than a few words, Shen Guannian arrived, followed by another person: "Tang'er, this is the nanny I specially chose for you. She will accompany you today and remind you of etiquette and manners."
Looking at the people behind Shen Guannian, Shen Wantang felt that Shen Guannian had really put no effort into deceiving her!
Because the nanny who came was none other than Granny Chai, who had helped her keep the maids in check in the Prince Ning's mansion in her previous life!
She knew Granny Chai very well, and even if she didn't, how could Qin Xin and the others, who came from the Ning Prince's Mansion, not know her? Wasn't this clearly someone Xiao Qingyuan had sent over?
However, she did not expose Shen Guannian's lie. She pretended not to know anything and calmly accepted Chai Mama's help.
Qin Xin and the others stared in shock, and as soon as Shen Guannian left, they immediately surrounded him, bombarding him with questions:
"Granny Chai, what brings you here?"
"Granny Chai, how did you become Granny Xi? Does the Princess know? Does the Prince know?"
"Granny Chai, who sent you? Don't say that Lord Shen invited you; he definitely can't get you to come!"
Granny Chai was filled with unspeakable helplessness. She couldn't very well tell everyone directly that her young master was going to snatch the bride today and had sent her to lead the charge.
She could only bow to Shen Wantang first, and then greet Granny Yan.
It turned out that she and Granny Yan were old acquaintances.
Shen Wantang was very happy to see Granny Chai. Although Granny Chai did not remember her, the affection from their past life still remained. She immediately asked Dujuan to give Granny Chai a big red envelope.
Granny Yan had already given it to us last night, so she didn't give us any more.
Now everything is fine. With two experienced nannies working together, Shen Wantang's situation is as secure as it gets. She doesn't need to worry about anything. The two nannies will let her suffer any grievances and will arrange everything for her.
As dawn broke, Shen Wantang had already changed into a bright red wedding dress, had her face opened, put on makeup, and put on a heavy ruby and gold crown.
This golden crown naturally didn't belong to Shen Wantang; it was sent by Gu Qianhan.
The golden crown was more magnificent than the one she wore when she married Xiao Qingyuan in her previous life, and of course, it was also heavier.
Shen Wantang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She did like gold, but too much gold didn't seem like a good thing.
Many guests arrived one after another, and all the women came to see her, including quite a few children. Even though Shen Wantang had been married twice before, there were still relatives she didn't recognize on her third marriage.
They must all be distant relatives, who took the opportunity to curry favor with her after she married into the Duke's family.
Because of her marriage, both Madam Qi and Shen Mingxuan were released from confinement by Shen Guannian and temporarily allowed to leave.
However, no one was willing to talk to Madam Qi, not even a few polite words, since the news of her affair with another man had already spread, and even the news that Shen Guannian was determined to divorce her had also spread.
Everyone thought Shen Guannian should divorce his wife, but now that he has given Qi a decent living, he is already an exceptionally good man.
Even today, some people are taking the opportunity to introduce girls to Shen Guannian. Now that he has been reinstated to his original position and has climbed up to the powerful Duke's Mansion, his rise to prominence is just around the corner. He has suddenly become a hot commodity.
"The auspicious time has arrived!"
With a loud shout, Granny Yan and Granny Chai together covered Shen Wantang's head with a veil.
Not long after, Shen Wantang heard a group of relatives she didn't know shout:
"Oh my, the groom is here! He's so handsome!"
"Oh dear, how could the eldest and second sons of the Shen family let the groom in so easily? Our Tang'er is so good, how can we let him marry her so easily? We'll have to set up a few more difficult problems to make things hard for him."
"What are you saying, Auntie? The eldest and second sons may want to stop him, but can they stop the groom? He's the number one prodigy in Dafeng!"
"Haha, that's right, that's why this wedding went exceptionally smoothly today!"
"That's right, Young Master Gu and our Tang'er are a perfect match, a truly golden couple!"
Amidst the clamor of the crowd, firecrackers went off.
Then, Shen Wantang was helped up by the nanny and walked outside.
As she stepped across the threshold, a slight ripple finally stirred within her.
This is her third marriage already, there won't be a fourth, right? She really can't take it if it happens again.
