The old lady was about to speak again.
The Marquis of Zhenbei interrupted her, "Mother, since Shuang'er is free, let her go."
"My son has other important matters to attend to, so he'll be going back to his study now!"
The thought of being demoted three ranks made the Marquis of Zhenbei want to beat Zou Shuang'er to death.
It's all her fault for insisting on going to Chunhua Brothel, which exposed his identity and caused him to lose face in the imperial court.
The old lady was helped to the courtyard, but before she even reached him, she collapsed, unable to support herself any longer.
The two maids exchanged a glance, then helped her to the bed.
at night.
Zou Shuang'er went to attend to the sick, but was so preoccupied with the old lady's incontinence that she couldn't sleep all night.
The next day.
Lin Shih-hsuan got married.
The music stopped at the main gate of the Marquis's mansion, and the old lady finally saw her long-awaited granddaughter-in-law.
Six Harmonies, a lucky match!
It seems she's recovering.
Liu Ruyan was helped by two maids to step over the brazier in the Marquis's mansion, and then, surrounded by the crowd, she went to the front hall to pay her respects.
Lin Shixuan, dressed in his wedding attire, walked along with the procession, looking quite spirited.
If it weren't for the fact that the woman was covered by a veil, everyone would want to catch a glimpse of the bride's face.
The Marquis of Zhenbei couldn't stop smiling as he looked at the pile of gifts. In the end, his colleagues still gave him some credit, after all, he had such an outstanding son.
Looking at her son, whom she was so proud of, the pent-up frustration of the night finally dissipated.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth."
"Bowing to the parents twice."
"Husband and wife bow to each other."
After the three calls, the officiant announced again, "The ceremony is complete. Proceed to the bridal chamber."
Amidst the laughter and chatter of the crowd, Lin Shixuan followed the bride back to the bridal chamber.
Under the red veil, Liu Ruyan's heart was pounding in her throat, afraid that she might make a mistake and embarrass herself.
Ye Lanyin watched the two turn back, then smiled and looked at Zou Shuang'er not far away.
Zou Shuang'er stood at a distance, tears welling in her eyes, occasionally reaching out to wipe them away.
She finally saw her son get married; she became the mother-in-law of a second-rank general.
Next comes the toasting ceremony.
The guests headed to the banquet hall one by one, and the scene was indeed spectacular.
From a distance, you would see that each official was holding a child's hand, as if they were afraid others wouldn't know they had children.
The Marquis of Zhenbei had just been receiving the kneeling obeisance in the main hall with Ye Lanyin and had not come out to watch.
Looking at it now, I'm terrified.
The concubines, in particular, were all dumbfounded.
The number of guests was counted by headcount, and the concubines had all asked the master and the young masters one by one. Why are there so many extra children now?
Moreover, how come there are twice as many classmates as before?
Unaware of her discomfort, the old lady smiled and said to the guests, "Don't be shy, make yourselves at home, eat and drink to your heart's content!"
After hearing the old lady's words, the guests began to take their seats one by one. However, before most of the guests could even sit down, the seats were filled.
General Yao waited with his child, standing to one side, looking at the full seats, unsure of where to go.
The Marquis of Zhenbei looked at Ye Lanyin and asked softly, "Madam, why is the banquet prepared like this?"
"My lord, are you perhaps forgetful? These were all prepared by my concubines."
Marquis Zhenbei then remembered that he had asked Ye Lanyin to allow his concubines to attend today's wedding banquet, and Ye Lanyin had said that the banquet would be handled by the concubines.
He looked at his concubines behind him, his eyes filled with accusation.
Yu Shuang was terrified, and Ling Wei, quick-witted, immediately stepped forward and said:
“Master, we were just helping out at this banquet; it was all arranged by Concubine Zou.”
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Zhenbei nearly fainted from anger.
That bitch doesn't know how to be tough!
Just as the Marquis of Zhenbei was about to get angry, Ye Lanyin stepped forward and said, "Now is not the time to blame anyone for what they did; we need to deal with the guests first."
As she spoke, she hugged Lin Wanwan and walked over with a smile.
"Today is Shixuan's wedding banquet, and Lanyin would like to thank everyone for coming to attend."
"Recently, Lanyin has planted many new flowers in the backyard. The fragrance is wonderful and the flowers are colorful. I wonder if any of you ladies would be interested in joining Lanyin for a feast in the backyard to admire the flowers and offer your opinions?"
The eldest princess noticed Duanmi's demeanor today and stood up with a smile, "Of course I'm going. Flowers can cultivate one's character. Today, on the occasion of your son's marriage, I am also fortunate to be able to witness the flowers that Lanyin cultivates."
With the eldest princess taking the lead, many noblewomen stood up one after another.
Hua Xin and Hua Mei had prepared the tables and chairs long ago, and even the food was prepared in advance.
Looking at Ye Lanyin's virtuous appearance, the Marquis of Zhenbei felt a warmth in his heart, but a sense of disgust arose in his heart towards Zou Shuang'er.
Ye Lanyin smiled and looked at her concubines, "Yu Shuang, you all better entertain our distinguished guests."
"Yes, madam."
Yu Shuang cast a grateful glance at her.
Before long, Ye Lanyin led the ladies to the backyard. The fragrance of flowers mixed with the aroma of vegetables made many of the ladies' mouths water.
"Wow, what kind of flower is this? It smells so good."
Ye Lanyin smiled and said, "These are different varieties of lilies and peonies, as well as some roses and tulips. If the ladies don't mind, they can take some back with them."
"Really?" some of the ladies asked excitedly.
"certainly."
Hehe, naturally it smells delicious because Mom raised it herself.
[These are all things my aunts like, Aunt Sheng, Princess...]
Hearing that familiar baby voice, the eldest princess smiled and hugged Lin Wanwan.
"Oh my, Wanwan, let me see how much weight you've gained."
"Oh dear, you've been drinking a lot of milk lately."
