"Yes, Miss Qian is well-behaved and sensible. It's too pitiful that she is bullied like this now."
"The Su family, this outside family, doesn't care about it?"
No matter how big or small the official position is, as long as there is someone to support him at home, he will not be bullied like this. What's more, even if Lord Su is only the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, he has no real power.
But having an in-law is better than having none, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites is a third-rank official. No matter what, it is better than the Chang'an Marquisate which has no real power at all.
In a place like the capital, there are so many powerful people that a falling plaque could hit a marquis or earl.
A man like Marquis Chang'an, who has no real power and lives in a declining state, is really no better than a third-rank official.
If the Su family had taken more care of it, Young Master Qian wouldn't have run away from home for so many years, and Miss Qian wouldn't have been bullied like this.
Mrs. Su’s dowry?
I'm afraid it has long been taken away by the Wei family and cannot be found again.
Mrs. Lu listened to their chatter and sighed, "How would I know what's going on in their family?"
"But now, the whereabouts of the eldest young master of the Qian family are unknown, and the eldest young lady has been forced into this state. I only heard that Lord Su met Miss Qian a few days ago, and then this marriage took place. I guess he has made arrangements for this granddaughter."
Everyone nodded when they heard this:
"It's good to have arrangements, but isn't it a little late?"
"But, after all, she is a daughter of a marquisate. If she marries a businessman, the Su family won't care?"
Everyone's doubts were exposed.
Mrs. Lu knew the inside story, but how could she tell it to others?
She simply said, "After Madam Su passed away, I could no longer interact with their family. After Wei came into our family, there were some disagreements, so naturally, it became even more difficult for us to interact."
"I think that considering Miss Qian's situation in the Qian family, it would be better for her to marry a businessman far away than an official."
Mrs. Lu's words were light and not meant to smear, but she also didn't say anything good about Wei, and even secretly said something insulting. But those who knew Wei, and had just witnessed Wei's family education, naturally made other connections.
Although marrying a businessman is not a good thing, her husband's family is not in the officialdom, so she doesn't have to worry about supporting her parents' family in the future. It seems that the Su family is really considering Miss Qian.
An orphan who lost her mother always arouses pity. There was a stepmother present, but she was not as abusive as Wei. However, she also talked about the stepmother's helplessness and gossiped about other families.
Qin Wan was standing beside them, listening to their conversation with a smile.
Madam Chen grabbed a handful of melon seeds from somewhere and stuffed them into Qin Wan's hand. "What do you think will happen tomorrow when the Marquis of Pingyang marries his wife?"
"What kind of scene?" Qin Wan blinked, meeting Mrs. Chen's playful gaze. She suddenly realized, "Could Auntie get an invitation?"
Qin Wan knew that with her relationship with the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion, she could not get an invitation, but Madam Chen would definitely have a way.
As expected, Madam Chen nodded and said with a smile, "Call me sister, and I will take you there."
Qin Wan patted her and said with a smile, "Aunt, what you said is true. If I call you sister, then when your two young masters see me later, won't they call me aunt?"
The eldest son of Mrs. Chen is about the same age as her.
Mrs. Chen looked at Qin Wan, her face like a young girl in her twenties. Then she thought of her eldest son's old-fashioned face. She couldn't help laughing when he called Qin Wan "Auntie." "Alright, alright, you mischievous little thing. Tomorrow, wait at home. I'll pick you up."
As soon as Mrs. Chen finished speaking, Chu Yun arrived.
After Chu Yun greeted Qin Wan and all the other ladies, he took out an invitation and said calmly, "Miss Qin, our wife invites you to attend the wedding banquet at the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion tomorrow."
God knows how much mental preparation Chu Yun had to put in and how many times she had rehearsed before she could say this sentence so calmly. The current girlfriend invited the ex-girlfriend to attend the wedding ceremony of her husband marrying a co-wife. This matter is really too difficult to describe in a few words.
Chu Yun didn’t understand Bai Wanyi’s motive for doing this. Was it to show her magnanimity?
Obviously, everyone present was also dumbfounded, and their thoughts were similar to Chu Yun's.
"Mrs. Lu, is your brain broken?"
"Inviting Miss Qin to attend the wedding, what are you thinking?"
Qin Wan looked at the exquisite invitation in front of her. It was obviously not a random invitation written to fool her.
Qin Wan asked uncertainly, "Are you really inviting me?"
"Yes." Chu Yun stepped forward and whispered, "I just wrote it. The ink has just dried."
Qin Wan then accepted the invitation, opened it and saw that her name was indeed written on it.
She also recognized the calligraphy. It was written by someone in the Marquis' Mansion. The ink was actually half dry, but because Chu Yun was careful, it was not smudged.
It is impossible for Chu Yun to give her an invitation privately. This is a typical case of betrayal.
No matter how much the servants in the mansion missed her, they would never do this.
Chu Yun finished speaking, took a step back, and said with a smile: "Our wife said that she specially invited Miss Qin to attend the ceremony."
Qin Wan still didn't understand. She thought that the person who almost became a concubine was now the mistress of the house, but she wanted to marry another concubine.
Asking her, the ex-wife, to attend the ceremony really shattered Qin Wan's impression of Bai Wanyi. Wasn't she supposed to be a lifelong couple?
How could Lu Yan be allowed to marry a concubine?
Mrs. Chen saw her puzzled face and said with a smile, "If you have any questions, why don't you go and take a look tomorrow and you'll know?"
Zhenzhen was very worried: "Miss, why don't we just not go? Sending an invitation so eagerly, I wonder if it's a trick."
