Seeing that Lin Xiong'an was no longer in sight, Lin Yuxin turned back to the front hall. However, she didn't make it in time; the wedding ceremony had already been completed, and the guests had returned to their seats and started eating.
She could see that Li Xiaochen and his maternal grandfather had already started drinking contests, one cup after another, drinking without changing their expressions, with an air of "it's either you or me!"
Lin Yuxin blinked. When did these two have a falling out? How come she didn't know?
Well, having a drink shouldn't be a problem, right? Li Xiaochen probably knows what he's doing and won't let anything happen to his grandfather.
Lin Yuxin didn't see her aunt and the others. Only her mother was entertaining the ladies. She found a maid and learned that her aunt and the others were still in the bridal chamber and hadn't come out yet. She guessed that the ceremony at the bridal chamber hadn't been completed.
Lin Yuxin turned around and strode towards the new house. She had missed the lively wedding ceremony, so she had to go and see what was going on in the new house.
When she arrived, she saw that the couple was already drinking the nuptial wine, so Lin Yuxin didn't go in to watch. She just stood on the outside and watched the newlyweds. At that moment, she felt a sense of satisfaction and comfort.
Actually, the fact that this couple got together was thanks to her being a celebrity! If it weren't for her reminding her older brother of Sister Ji's kindness, he'd still be all alone, hehe!
Lin Yuxin felt quite smug about it.
However, she changed her brother's fate, ensuring he didn't lose his leg and was able to marry the woman he loved, which could be considered a kind of fulfillment.
After the newlyweds finished drinking the nuptial wine, several aunts and ladies around them clapped and laughed.
"The ceremony is complete. Congratulations, Cheng Lie! Now you are truly husband and wife. May you live happily ever after!"
Second Aunt Chen Lanzhi said with a smile.
"Hehe, that's right, Qingxue and Chenglie are such a perfect match! Chenglie, you'd better treat her well!"
Aunt Shihui also spoke up with a smile.
None of the boys in their family are married yet; the oldest is already twenty, and the two younger brothers-in-law don't seem interested either. This has caused their mother a lot of worry, and even the sisters-in-law and mothers are extremely concerned.
Seeing my nephew get married now is a kind of comfort and solace!
When I get back, I'll have to give those people a chance to look at me, but I don't know what happened recently.
Suddenly, a lot of matchmakers and ladies came to the mansion to inquire about the young man's birth date and marriage wishes.
Even the two youngest ones got asked, especially that kid Zhao Chenhai, who left the whole family of women completely baffled and they didn't dare to agree casually.
She felt she should go back and ask her father if they should consider the eldest and second eldest sons. The men they had been introduced to before hadn't worked out, and her two younger uncles were also getting on in years. She should consider them as well.
The Zhao family boys, who were drinking outside, suddenly felt a chill run down their spines and shivered. Could they have caught a cold?
Then he continued drinking, seemingly unconcerned.
"That's right, Cheng Lie and the Ji family girl are a perfect match!"
Mrs. Chen, who had the best relationship with her mother, also smiled.
She was the wife of a captain. Although her husband's official rank was not high, she was a woman that Zhao Hanyue had saved on the battlefield. Later, through an introduction, she married Chen Shu, one of Zhao Shijie's subordinates.
After Chen Shu was promoted to captain, there was nothing much going on. He and his wife didn't worry about it. As long as there was no war, that was the best thing.
The couple were very grateful to Zhao Hanyue, so over the years, Mrs. Chen would occasionally visit Zhao Hanyue to chat with her and help her relieve her boredom.
She knew that Zhao Hanyue's marriage to Lin Xiong'an was out of necessity, not because she liked him, and that she must have felt bad about it. That's why the two families have had a good relationship for so many years.
They have a daughter named Chen Youyou, who is fifteen years old this year and will turn 15 next year, so neither of them worries about it at all.
However, seeing Chenglie get married now fills her with joy and blessings. The children are all grown up and have their own families now.
The other ladies chimed in with their blessings, which made Ji Qingxue blush and lower her head shyly.
"Alright, you've been talking all over the place, and the bride is getting shy. Come on, let's go out and have some fun, let the young couple talk!"
Aunt Shihui smiled gently and addressed everyone, then invited them out for a meal.
Lin Yuxin stood aside, watching as the women and her aunt left, before going inside to speak to her older brother and Sister Ji:
"I've been too busy today and haven't had a chance to talk to Sister Ji yet. I wish my elder brother and sister-in-law a harmonious marriage, many children, and a happy and fulfilling life together!"
"You silly girl, pulling this stunt even with your own family! I know! I'll accept your blessings!"
Lin Chenglie blushed, but he pretended to be calm and said.
He was grateful to his younger sister; without her, he might not be alive and healthy, nor would he have married such an excellent woman.
Ji Qingxue blushed and looked at Lin Yuxin, saying softly:
"Thank you, Princess!"
"Sister-in-law, you're being too formal. You're already married to my brother, so you're a member of the Lin family and my sister-in-law. Why are you still calling me Princess? Just call me Xin Xin. There's no need for so much formality!"
When Lin Yuxin heard Ji Qingxue address her as "Princess" so formally, she immediately pretended to be unhappy and spoke up.
Ji Qingxue turned to look at Lin Chenglie, and seeing him nod, she smiled and called out to Lin Yuxin:
"Xin Xin!"
"Ah! That's more like it! Alright, I'm going out too, you two chat amongst yourselves!"
Seeing how much Ji Qingxue listened to her older brother, Lin Yuxin found it amusing. After saying that, she slipped away and left, not wanting to be a third wheel.
Only Lin Chenglie and Ji Qingxue remained. The two glanced at each other, then looked away shyly.
