With the wedding approaching, Shen Ning is very busy.
While those around her were busy preparing for the wedding, she was busy organizing the household affairs at hand.
Perhaps because they felt that it was a foregone conclusion that Shen Ning would hand over the reins of power, the second branch of the family and the old lady surprisingly did not cause any trouble, and waited for Shen Ning to hand it over with both hands.
Many people already know that Shen Ning is going to hand over the main branch of the family to the second branch. Some people have already switched sides to the second branch, thinking that they should first pledge their loyalty and then they can get a good deal in the future.
Shen Ning saw everything, but simply noted it down without saying anything.
Even though Shen Shu knew that Shen Ning was going to hand over the things belonging to the eldest son's family, she only frowned when she saw her younger brother and sister.
With a worried expression, she said, "Sister, Second Uncle and his gang are greedy and treacherous. How can you entrust the family to them?"
Shen Ning retorted, "Then what can I do? I've never heard of a married woman being able to control her natal family. Why don't you take over?"
Shen Shu waved her hands repeatedly: "No, I don't want to care about these things, they give me a headache."
Shen Ning: "What will you do when you get married? Won't you still have to manage the household after you get married?"
Shen Shu smiled shyly, seemingly lost in thought: "If I'm going to marry, it will be someone I truly love. If my husband loves me, he naturally won't want me to suffer."
Shen Ning: "..." This familiar heart attack.
She didn't ask any unnecessary questions.
Shen Yu was a little more cunning than Shen Shu, but unfortunately, that cunning was useless.
"Sister, what if Uncle stops giving me money in the future? Can I go to the Wei family to find you?"
Shen Ning: "......" What sins did she commit to deserve such a pair of siblings?
When she was young, although she supported the family, she was old and had never raised children herself. She felt that protecting them, hiring famous teachers for them, and giving them enough money was enough.
Due to cognitive biases and being busy with various chores, I failed to realize that my younger siblings were actually so foolish and selfish.
Now that I've been reborn and matured, I have no desire to take care of them; I just want to crush them to death.
Regardless of these two troublesome individuals, wedding preparations are in full swing.
The wedding dress was displayed on a rack in Shen Ning's room. It was a bright red wedding dress embroidered with the Five Blessings, lotus flowers, peonies, pomegranates, and auspicious clouds. It was made of the finest vermilion brocade, with gold thread and white jade beads, and was extremely luxurious.
The wedding dress was prepared four years ago. It was the daughter of a high-ranking official of the second rank who was getting married. The family was not short of money, so the wedding dress had to be made as well as possible.
Shen Ning didn't care about the marriage, but she really liked this wedding dress.
This is not just her wedding dress, but also her father's love for his eldest daughter. As for her mother... Shen Shu's character is exactly the same as her birth mother's, so let's not mention her.
The wedding dress was unfurled, and Shen Ning sat there gazing at it for a full hour before letting Liu Ying come in and put it away.
Liu Ying carefully put it away, then took another set of similar styles and placed it on top, but the workmanship and materials were more than half as bad.
Even without a masterpiece to emulate, this set is sufficient, but after seeing the previous set, the current one seems rather shabby.
"Sister, is this your wedding dress? It's so beautiful."
Shen Shu entered and went straight to the wedding dress, her eyes filled with envy, unable to put it down.
"Sister, I really like it, can I try it?"
His eyes were full of anticipation, wanting to satisfy the secret desires in his heart.
Logically, wedding dresses shouldn't be tried on by others, but Shen Ning didn't care: "It's fine."
Shen Shu couldn't wait to ask Liu Ying and Yu Zhu to help her change. The two were reluctant, and they felt sorry for their mistress, but they still helped Shen Shu change.
After changing her clothes, even without wearing a phoenix crown, Shen Shu was overjoyed. She spread her arms and spun around in place, and then ran to the mirror to look at herself again and again.
"Sister Liuying, do I look good in this?"
"Sister Yuzhu, do you think this outfit looks good on me?"
If you didn't know what she did, you'd just think of her as an innocent and naive younger sister, completely without any guile.
Liu Ying and Yu Zhu offered a few perfunctory compliments, and she was smug and didn't think anything of it was wrong. She even went up to Chen Ning and asked for it as a matter of course: "Sister, your wedding dress is so beautiful, I want the same one too."
Shen Ning gave her a meaningful look: "Okay, I'll give it to you when you get married."
Shen Shu couldn't bear to hear the word "marriage" right now. She lowered her head and fiddled with the gold tassels on her wedding dress. Despite her reluctance, she still took off the dress.
As soon as Shen Shu left Shen Ning's place, she collapsed completely, as if she had suffered a deep blow.
"Miss, the second young lady has run into Liang Zhuo again."
When Liu Ying reported, she no longer had any feelings towards Liang Zhuo. Even without the young lady saying anything, she would no longer consider marrying Liang Zhuo.
But it's not right for the second young lady to get involved with Liang Zhuo. She's not trying to blame anyone, but it's really indecent for a proper young lady to be hugging and cuddling with a servant.
If this gets out, the second young lady won't care, but the eldest young lady will inevitably be implicated.
Shen Ning didn't care much: "Ignore her."
It's not the right time yet.
With the wedding in three days, Li Shaobai and Ye Feiyan each sent a gift.
Li Shaobai received a pair of high-quality mutton-fat jade bracelets, while Ye Feiyan's gift was simple and unpretentious: a box of gold.
Given their relationship, this gift was indeed excessive. Clearly, they had found out something and were using it as a wedding present to express their goodwill.
Shen Ning accepted it with a clear conscience.
On the eve of the wedding, Du Yunzhi came to the Shen family to keep Shen Ning company. Looking at the Shen family, which was already filled with joy, she couldn't feel happy at all.
Shen Ning didn't say much, just kept her company while drinking tea and chatting, sharing intimate thoughts. She felt neither nervous nor expectant about the wedding the next day, treating it as casually as eating and drinking.
