Liu Jiaojiao forced a smile. "I've been a bit tired lately. How about we have a big celebration together after we get married?"

She was indeed a little short of money lately, and was thinking of using the occasion of a happy event at the Liu family's residence as a pretext to help another group of homeless children.

Who would have thought... that Shen Changji would also have this idea.

Now that she had this idea, she couldn't possibly make a move at this time.

“We could help a batch of people here first, and then help another batch after you two get married. That way, it would be a double blessing!” the second wife suggested from the side.

“Let’s get together then. After Yueyin is married, Shen Lang won’t make me wait too long, right?” Liu Jiaojiao asked Shen Changji.

Shen Changji nodded, offering no rebuttal.

"Yes, let's go with your idea."

"In that case, we'll have to ask your mother-in-law to pick a good day for you, so you can have a grand and impressive celebration!" the second wife said with a smile.

Since Shen Changji did not refute, everyone present assumed that he had no objection.

Liu Jiaojiao, however, was secretly delighted.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yueyin couldn't help but glance at Shen Changji a couple more times.

Her brother seemed to have never even considered marrying Miao'er...

The two of them are clearly already... so why doesn't the elder brother mention taking a concubine or marrying a secondary wife?

Just as the second wife finished speaking, Old Mrs. Shen happened to come out.

"There have been quite a few good days lately. I plan to find a good husband for Miao'er after this Ziji matter is over," said Old Madam Shen calmly.

"My granddaughter thinks that Prince Xie is a good candidate. When Miao'er fainted a while ago, it was Prince Xie who took care of her personally."

Shen Yueyin couldn't help but chime in agreement.

Some time ago, she had already heard that her grandmother had arranged for Miao'er to marry Xie Qin.

When Su Miao fainted last time, Xie Qin was already there when she arrived.

She wasn't stupid; she could see Xie Qin's attitude towards Su Miao.

Since her elder brother doesn't have that intention, perhaps...

"Young Master Xie is indeed quite good. Jiaojiao has seen him coming and going with Sister Su quite often. I guess the two of them have feelings for each other for a long time. Perhaps Sister Su is just shy, so she hasn't said it." Liu Jiaojiao added fuel to the fire.

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Shen nodded slightly.

"Xie Qin is indeed a good man."

Everyone was praising Xie Qin, but no one noticed that Shen Changji's expression was growing increasingly somber.

...

As Shen Yueyin's wedding date drew closer, the Duke's mansion was bustling with activity.

On the day of her wedding, the Duke's mansion was filled with joy. Sunlight shone on every corner of the mansion, blending with the festive red color. Large red "囍" (double happiness) characters were posted all around, and red lanterns swayed in the wind.

Guests came and went, blessings were exchanged one after another, and everyone's face was beaming with joy, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Su Miao arrived at the Duke's mansion very early and is now in Shen Yueyin's boudoir, where she is putting a hairpin on her.

"It's so beautiful."

Su Miao smiled and looked at Shen Yueyin in the mirror, praising her.

"Really?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I lie to you?"

As Su Miao spoke, she put earrings on Chen Yueyin.

"Actually, I never thought I would marry Liu Muxuan..."

"Fate is such a wonderful thing."

"Miao'er..."

"Mu Xuan is a good person, he won't treat you badly. You two probably have feelings for each other but don't realize it. You'd better treat him well." Su Miao affectionately pinched Chen Yueyin's nose.

"And you, do you have a man you like?"

"I?"

Su Miao was about to say no, but Shen Yueyin beat her to it.

"Don't lie to me and say you didn't. I'm very smart. Last time you fainted, I accidentally saw the marks on your body."

I'd venture to guess that things won't progress that quickly between you and Xie Qin, and it's even less likely for Mu Xuan, so that leaves only one person... Besides, you two live so close!

Miao'er, you must like your eldest brother, right?

Su Miao was slightly taken aback when she heard this.

She hadn't expected Shen Yueyin to ask her so bluntly.

This was the first time someone had asked her if she liked Shen Changji... Su Miaoxin was a little flustered.

"Do you really dislike your eldest brother? Tell me secretly, and I won't tell anyone."

"No... I don't like it."

“I knew it! My elder brother has a cold personality, how could it be that you took the initiative? He must have forced you!” Shen Yueyin looked like she knew it all.

Her daughter, Miao'er, is so weak and frail; how could she possibly be a match for Chen Changji!

That man, if he wanted to, could probably lift Su Miao up with one hand.

As luck would have it, their brief conversation was overheard by Chen Changji outside the door.

He raised his hand to knock on the door, then withdrew it in a second.

The maid beside Shen Yueyin was stunned for a moment when she saw this scene.

"Tell your young lady that the auspicious time has arrived."

After saying that, he turned and left in silence.

The lone eagle beside him quickly followed.

His master exuded a murderous aura, so he dared not utter a word!

But judging from the master's reaction just now... he probably already has someone else in his heart, Miss Su.

It's true... I've been keeping it all inside!

When the auspicious hour arrived, Su Miao covered Shen Yueyin's head with a veil.

The maid beside them was too busy to tell the two that Shen Changji had just come by.

With the help of the matchmaker, Shen Yueyin slowly walked out of her boudoir. After bidding farewell to everyone in the main hall, she boarded the bridal sedan chair.

Outside the Duke's mansion, firecrackers crackled and fireworks lit up the sky.

Xie Qin found Su Miao at the corner.
