Chapter 34 Yuyan Gets Married

Her current body probably won't last much longer. It doesn't matter if she dies early or late, so it's better to make use of her in the last possible moment.

Xu's eyes were red from crying. She hugged Song Yuqing and kept shouting, "My son, you have suffered."

After Song Yurou returned to the room, she sat at the table for a long time, then walked into the inner room and took out a small box from under the cabinet of the dressing table.

She hid the small box so well that it would be difficult for others to discover its existence unless she took it out herself.

When the small box was opened, it was filled with papers covered with densely written words.

These are the detailed information about Pingyuan Hou Mansion that Song Yurou and her aunt have collected through various channels over this period of time.

Including the specific situation of the Marquis' Mansion, the personality traits of the Marquis, the old lady and other family members, the interests and hobbies of the prince, etc.

Ever since she learned that Song Yuqing's health was getting worse, Song Yurou's aunt began to prepare these materials.

She hopes that through this information, Song Yurou can better understand Pingyuan Hou Mansion and gain more advantages in her future life.

When the aunt handed these materials to Song Yurou, Song Yurou also had doubts about whether she really wanted to enter the marquis's mansion as a second wife.

Being a second wife is an awkward identity. The wife of Marquis Pingyuan is famous and the person she dislikes the most is her daughter-in-law Song Yuqing.

If the second wife is also a girl from the Song family, she will definitely be implicated by her difficult mother-in-law, the legitimate son left by the first wife, and the illegitimate sons and daughters born to the concubine.

When Song Yurou thought about what she would face in the future, she felt a little hesitant. If she married into the Marquis's Mansion, it would be difficult for her children to inherit the title.

But so far, she has not found anyone more suitable than the prince.

She is also ambitious. Song Yuqing married well, and although Song Yuyan is now a concubine, she is also the prince's concubine.

Her sisters all married well, so naturally she wanted to marry into a good family too. She was unwilling to be given away by the Song family as a favor, nor did she want to just find a mediocre person to spend her life with.

Now it seems that becoming the Crown Prince's wife is the best choice. Although she is a second wife, she believes that as long as she works hard, who can predict what the future holds?

She has the confidence that she can handle all of this.

After thinking for a long time, Song Yurou decided to study the information carefully and remember every piece of information in her mind. Then she would learn more about the prince's preferences for future reference.

Now, she has read the papers in the box many times, and she can almost recite the information recorded on them by heart.

Since Song Yuyan's marriage was decided, she no longer went to school or learned housekeeping with Song Yuning and others. She locked herself in her room all day and concentrated on embroidering her dowry.

Sometimes, Song Yuyan would send someone to invite Song Yuning to come and appreciate her embroidery and ask her for some skills and experience. The relationship between the two seemed to be closer than before.

In the blink of an eye, it was August, and Song Yuning's clothing store finally opened.

According to the letter Yan Yu sent back, their business is pretty good. Although they have only been open for more than ten days, they have already made a profit of more than one hundred taels of silver.

Of course, this may also be because there are discounts when the new store opens, which is why so many people come to buy things. When the discounts are over, the business may not be so good anymore.

But even so, the garment shop still makes a lot of money.

Song Yuning was very happy when she heard the news, so she worked even harder on the embroidered screen, hoping to complete the task and get the money as soon as possible, and then open the silver shop as soon as possible, so that she could definitely make more money.

She would spend an extra hour every day embroidering the screen, but even so, it was not until Song Yuyan was about to get married that her screen was finally almost finished. The whole process took nearly ten months.

Today is Song Yuyan's wedding day. The entire Song Mansion is filled with a festive atmosphere. Bright red silk and festive paper-cuts are pasted all over the windows and walls. Strings of red lanterns are hung in the corridor, and long ribbons are hung in front of the door.

Song Yuwan and the other sisters had gotten up early and came to chat with Song Yuyan. But after just a few words, everyone's face was filled with reluctance, and Song Yuyan's eyes were red.

The five of them gathered together, holding hands and whispering, and only left the room reluctantly when Madam Quanfu came to put on makeup for Song Yuyan.

Because they were all unmarried girls, they were not allowed to watch the ceremony in the front yard, so they could only wait outside Song Yuyan's house, watching her wearing a crimson wedding dress, a veil with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns, and being supported by Nanny Xi as she left step by step.

"Now that Fifth Sister is gone, it probably won't be easy to meet again in the future." Tenth sister Song Yuyao couldn't help but sigh as she watched Song Yuyan's departing back.

Her tone was a little sad. After all, she and Song Yuyan had always had a good relationship. Now that she saw that she was getting married, she couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.

After hearing what Song Yuyao said, the other sisters nodded in agreement. Everyone felt heavy-hearted, and no one knew how to comfort the other.

Song Yuyan's identity meant that she could not leave the palace easily. Yes, the palace. On the second day after the fifth prince got married, the emperor issued an edict to confer the title of Prince Shun on him.

Now Prince Shun had already moved out of the palace with his princess and lived in the palace that had been built a long time ago. Song Yuyan's wedding was held in the palace.

Song Yuyan will be the concubine of Prince Shun's mansion in the future. She will not be able to leave the mansion unless necessary. Therefore, it will be really difficult for the sisters to meet again in the future.

Sixth sister Song Yuwan thought of this and couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know if Fifth Sister can come back after three days of visiting her parents."

After hearing this, the other sisters also felt a little emotional.

Everyone understood that, according to common sense, a concubine should also have the right to return to her parents' home. However, whether this could be realized ultimately depended on the attitude of the prince and princess. If they agreed, Song Yuyan could naturally return to her parents' home, but if they did not, then even as a concubine, Song Yuyan would not be able to easily leave the palace.

Therefore, no one could say for sure whether Song Yuyan would be able to come back. For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Song Yuyan must have been very much liked by Prince Shun. On the day of the third emperor's return, Song Yuyan not only returned but also brought generous gifts.

This surprised everyone. After all, generally speaking, a bride would only bring some simple gifts to express her gratitude when she returned home. However, the generous gifts brought by Song Yuyan made everyone realize how much Prince Shun valued her.

More importantly, Prince Shun personally accompanied Song Yuyan back.

Song Hongzhi and the old lady were even more delighted. The more Prince Shun valued Song Yuyan, the better it would be for their Song family.

Song Yuning and the others also met the fifth brother-in-law behind the screen. Seeing that the two of them behaved intimately and Song Yuyan looked very good, they were all very happy for Song Yuyan.
