Sun Hetang clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred, as if he was about to rush over and fight her to the death.
However, the force she felt from Qiao Zhizhi's hand just now made her feel scared.
Even if it weren't just her alone, I'm afraid the three of them together wouldn't be a match for her.
"Just you wait, you'll have plenty of time to cry later."
Sun Hetang was helped away by her two friends.
Qiao Zhizhi gently shook her head.
Why do people behave in such an unseemly way?
Originally, the Sun and Lin families only had that intention, but because Lin Songyan refused to agree, they didn't even go through the proper procedures.
Now that both families have found their respective marriage partners, the previous issues should be put aside lightly, and there's no need to make things difficult for each other.
After all, the two families and the Qiao family will frequently encounter each other at various banquets and events in the future, and a falling out would not benefit anyone.
Sun Hetang, who was initially rejected by Lin Songyan and felt frustrated, now felt that the situation had reversed and wanted to get revenge.
"Does your hand hurt? If you ever hit her in the future, you'd better hold a hardcover book or a fan in your hand, so you don't hurt your hand."
Lin Songyan took Qiao Zhizhi's hand and gently covered it with a handkerchief.
"It doesn't matter if it hurts or not, the main thing is that I feel good," Qiao Zhizhi said. "But I don't think it's enough. What she said can't be erased by two slaps."
"So what do you want to do?"
"She doesn't feel proud of marrying into the Wu family, but rather thinks she can trample on us. Since that's the case, then let's make sure she can't be arrogant."
"Is there anything I can do?"
“You don’t need to do anything.” Qiao Zhizhi said seriously, “I won’t tell Lian’er either. She’s too busy and I can’t let her get distracted. I’m going to do this all by myself.”
Lin Songyan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then promise me that you will stay safe and sound."
"It's nothing," Qiao Zhizhi smiled. "Was I really that rude just now?"
“To punish someone in the same way you would punish them is the way of justice,” he said.
Two days later, Qiao Lian'er returned. She had been traveling around Tianhe Prefecture for several days and had lost several pounds from exhaustion.
Governing such a large state is no easy task. These days, she has been busy directing the allocation of supplies, supervising the income and expenditure of various accounts, and consulting with subordinate officials. Sometimes she doesn't even have time to eat.
The wedding process between the Qiao and Lin families has reached the stage of "Naji" (a traditional betrothal ceremony), where the dowry and betrothal gifts have been finalized. In seven days, the Lin family will formally present their betrothal gifts, marking the official engagement.
With the two elders of the Qiao family still alive, each head of their respective household, whether male or female, was very capable, and everything proceeded steadily.
The Lin family offered double the dowry, and the other ceremonies were also in accordance with the standards for a county princess. This news surprised the high-ranking families in the capital once again.
"It seems that this is to make up for the shortcomings of Young Master Lin."
"So it seems the Lin family still cares about the Third Young Master. Even if he can't have children, they'll probably still give him a significant portion of their family fortune."
"I think that Miss Zhizhi is really blessed."
When Grandma Qiao saw that Qiao Lian'er had lost weight, she quickly told the kitchen to prepare some dishes. After preparing a few dishes, she pulled Qiao Lian'er into the kitchen and told her to eat first.
Qiao Lian'er was a little amused and exasperated: "Grandma, let's wait until it's on the table so we can all eat together. That way it will taste better."
This time, Grandma Qiao wouldn't let her have her way. She insisted on watching her eat a chicken leg, her eyes full of loving kindness and concern.
Pei Er returned, looking travel-worn.
His first words were: "Let's go watch the show at the Ouyang family's doorstep."
