Han Luoxue was right; Zhou Jie had run over there long ago. She had personally gone to the door and looked over countless times!
"Sigh, what time is it? Why hasn't Xue'er come yet? If she doesn't come back soon, the wedding ceremony will be over."
Mrs. Zhou looked at her daughter jumping around and sighed helplessly, "Zhou Jie, you better behave yourself!"
After being yelled at by her mother, Zhou Jie indeed stopped running outside.
"I'm just worried about Xue'er, Mother. Look at the time! Xue'er still hasn't come. Aren't you worried about her? Could something have happened to her on the way?"
"By the way, do you think Mengmeng and Zhuangzhuang might come too? Oh dear, I haven't seen them in so long. I heard that children grow up really fast when they're little, changing every day. I wonder if they'll still recognize me?"
Hearing her daughter chattering away, Mrs. Zhou was speechless. She wasn't usually a talkative person, but her two children were both incredibly talkative!
Zhou Yuan is one thing, but when it comes to doing business outside, he makes all the decisions about the family. He talks a lot, but he rarely says these kinds of nonsense!
This daughter is such a chatterbox, most people can't keep up with her!
What worries her even more is her two children's marriage. Her eldest is already twenty, and with so many young and beautiful women in the capital, she hasn't taken a liking to a single one!
And this Zhou Jie is even more beyond our control!
She even obtained some kind of imperial edict from the emperor, so she could decide her own marriage from now on.
Now that's great, even if they are parents, they can't control the situation even if they want to.
This girl has bigger ideas than I do!
"Haha, Mrs. Zhou, you should be secretly happy! Zhou Jie has such a good personality. I really hope my daughter is as eloquent as her!"
Although Du Linlang enjoys doing business, she is not a talkative person. Despite the good relationship between mother and daughter, Du Linlang would never ramble on when there's nothing else to do.
"Oh dear, Mrs. Du, you should be content. I'm so tired of hearing her say that all the time!"
When Zhou Jie saw the two of them start chatting, she tried to run away again, but her mother stopped her: "You stay here and wait here obediently, Zhou Jie!"
Zhou Jie pouted unhappily: "Mom, I'll just wait at the door. Maybe Xue'er will come over. I want to wait for her!"
Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes at her: "Your little sister Xue'er is probably still busy right now! Your cousin came back last night, and there's a lot to do at home! What would a single dog like you know..."
"I..." Zhou Jie became breathless at the mention of this.
"That young couple hasn't seen each other for so long, why is your little Xue'er up so early this morning!"
"And look how confused I am! What 'Sister Xue'er'? You should call her 'Cousin Sister-in-law,' 'Cousin Sister-in-law,' you understand?"
Only Ouyang Zhen and Zhou Jie caused such a ruckus that the entire generational hierarchy became a mess.
Fortunately, the two people in the palace didn't hear it, otherwise they would have thought the Zhou family had no manners!
Zhou Jie stuck out her tongue at her mother and whispered, "Mom, my cousin and Xue'er don't mind, so please don't correct me!"
Madam Zhou frowned helplessly: "Look at what I've spoiled this girl into!"
Madam Du couldn't help but laugh: "Girls should be pampered. I think Zhou Jie is very good. She has such a good temperament. You should be content!"
When Han Luoxue arrived, Zhou Jie still waited at the door.
Seeing that she had come alone, Sister Zhou pouted in dissatisfaction: "Why did you come alone? Little Xue'er? Where are my Mengmeng and Zhuangzhuang?"
"My family won't let me bring them out, what can I do?" Han Luoxue helplessly spread her hands. The Empress Dowager is keeping a close eye on the two children and won't let them go anywhere.
A few days ago, my maternal grandmother wanted to take the child home for a day, but the Empress Dowager was not happy about it!
"If you miss them, come back with me later!"
Sister Zhou hurriedly shook her head: "No!"
Thinking of Ouyang Zhen's cold face, she didn't want to face it.
"Don't worry, your cousin is quite busy these days and usually won't be coming back!"
Zhou Jie shook her head again: "I'll see them when you bring them back later. I'm worried my cousin might run into them!"
"You haven't done anything bad lately, Sister Zhou, what are you worried about?"
Han Luoxue looked at her with amusement, while Zhou Jie pouted in dissatisfaction: "I..."
"Alright, the ceremony should be starting soon, right? I think your makeup looks great today. I'll fix it up for you in a bit and make sure you look the most beautiful today!"
Zhou Jie's eyes lit up. What girl doesn't want to be beautiful?
"Really?" She still couldn't believe it. Her maid had done her best to make her look her most beautiful today.
"Of course! Don't you trust my skills?"
Han Luoxue only recently discovered that there were some cosmetics in her space. Although there weren't many, she did have a set of things like lipstick, eyebrow pencil, and BB cream.
Then she realized it must be because of today's wedding.
"Let's go find Sister Du first! She's the main character today, I'll draw her first!"
Zhou Jie had no objection to this; she also wanted to witness the legendary skill of Han Luoxue!
Half an hour later, looking at her much more refined face in the mirror, Zhou Jie exclaimed with admiration, "Wow, Xue'er, how are you so amazing?"
"It's still the same person, but she seems much prettier than before!"
She smiled as she spoke, "Sister Du, I'm not saying you weren't good-looking before, I'm just saying you're even more beautiful now!"
Du Linlang laughed heartily, "I understand what you mean. I felt it myself! Sister Xue'er is truly amazing!"
"Haven't you noticed that nothing can stump her? I feel like there's nothing in this world that Xue'er can't do!"
Han Luoxue was a little embarrassed by their praise: "Actually, I don't know everything. I just happen to know a little bit!"
"You've added a bit too much here!" Zhou Jie laughed, and Du Linlang covered her mouth and chuckled as well.
"Alright, Sister Zhou, come over here quickly, let me help you get ready. The ceremony is about to start, or it will be too late."
Wang Yan also came today, but she arrived quite late, and Han Luoxue helped her with some makeup. She herself didn't do much makeup, since she's naturally beautiful and doesn't need any.
She didn't want to steal the spotlight from the other girls today.
As the group was leaving, they happened to spot Zhou Jun and his companions.
Zhou Jun's eyes lit up when he saw Wang Yan, and Zhou Jie immediately pushed Wang Yan over: "How about it? Stunned, aren't you? Actually, Wang Yan is really beautiful."
Zhou Jun was slightly embarrassed. Han Luoxue looked at the two of them. Logically speaking, they should be holding their ceremony soon, after all, they had been intimate that day, and Wang Yan might be pregnant right now...
