On the third day after the wedding, it was time for the bride to return to her parents' home. On this day, Song Ning prepared her things early and returned home with Xie Linzhou.
The Song family had been waiting at the door for a long time, and Liu Yuelan was especially eager to see them.
Seeing the carriage appear around the corner, he smiled so broadly that wrinkles appeared on his face.
"They're back! They're back!"
The carriage slowly came to a stop at the door. Song Ning jumped down from the carriage before Xie Linzhou. Liu Yuelan immediately grabbed her daughter's hand and looked her over.
"What are you looking at, Mother? It's only been three days, how could I possibly lose weight?"
"Your mother misses you so much, come in quickly."
Today is the day the Song family's daughter returns home to her parents' home, and many neighbors have come to visit and join in the fun.
They hadn't even met the legendary General Xie yet.
Song Ning was talking to Liu Yuelan and the others inside the house, while Xie Linzhou was being entertained by Song Dahai at the other end.
Although the young man in front of him was his son-in-law, Song Dahai was still a little nervous.
When General Xie came to our house before, we didn't think much of it and treated him like a distinguished guest. But now that he's our son-in-law, we're a bit reserved.
Xie Linzhou knew that Song Dahai was a man of few words, so he didn't mind and said with a smile, "Father-in-law, I am a junior. You can say whatever you want without worrying about me."
Mr. Yu was also with Song Dahai, as were Zhou Ling'an and his father.
Zhou Ling'an wanted to say a few words, but with so many people in front of him, he didn't feel comfortable speaking, so he just sat there and stayed.
As the two groups were talking, Xie Linzhou's men came in to report.
Xie Linzhou was taken aback, then instructed, "Just go and inform the young mistress."
"yes."
Song Ning received news that people claiming to be her relatives had come to her door.
Without a doubt, it's the Xu family again.
Madam Xu's face darkened: "Don't worry about them. I'll take care of those good-for-nothings."
Yunniang stood up and pressed down Old Madam Xu, who was about to get up as well: "Mother, you stay and talk to Er Ya, I'll go out and take a look."
Although Yunniang has been away from home for many years, her temper remains unchanged. Back then, she was not the kind of person who could be controlled by her elder brothers.
If she were truly a weak person, she wouldn't have married Zheng Gaoyi against her family's wishes.
Once outside the courtyard gate, a horse-drawn carriage was parked not far away.
The guests were Xu Wenxing, the second master of the Xu family, and his second wife.
The moment Xu Wenxing saw Yunniang, he thought he had seen a ghost; it was as if he saw his second sister.
Yunniang asked calmly, "Is there something you need?"
Master Xu stepped forward and tentatively asked, "Yunniang?"
"It's me."
Xu Wenxing and Madam Xu's expressions immediately changed: "Yunniang, you're not dead?"
"I'm not dead, are you disappointed?"
Master Xu quickly explained, "No, that's not what we meant. It's wonderful that you're still alive!"
"What brings you here today?"
Xu Wenxing quickly said, "Yunniang, we've come to see our mother, really, not to claim kinship, we just want to visit her."
Yunniang looked at her second brother expressionlessly: "Go back. Mother doesn't want to see you. I made it very clear when I left home last time. She is doing very well now. If you really care about her, then don't come again."
Master Xu was unwilling to accept this. His own mother, two younger sisters, and nephew-in-law were all inside, yet he couldn't even get in the door.
The liveliness here should have been shared by their family.
“Yunniang, go in and tell your mother, just once. Or, you can have Yueniang come out to see me. What happened before was all our fault. Today, I've brought your sister-in-law to apologize to you.”
As soon as Master Xu finished speaking, Madam Xu quickly stepped forward and said, "Yes, Yunniang, it was all our fault before, but we know we were wrong, and we've come today to apologize."
"No need. Our family doesn't need your apologies. Mother and my eldest sister have already said that the Song family is the Song family and the Xu family is the Xu family. You should leave now. If you don't leave, I might kick you out."
“Yunniang, even if you don’t care about us, you should think about your third brother. He was the best to you back then.”
Yunniang could speak kindly to Xu Jia San Ye without mentioning him, but she would get angry as soon as her younger brother was mentioned.
"How dare you mention our third brother? If it weren't for you, why would he have left home and not come back until now! Xu Wenxing, do you two have any shame? A grown man, idling around all day, just waiting for a windfall. If I were you, I would have crawled into a hole and been too ashamed to show my face!"
Xu Wenxing was somewhat ashamed, and Madam Xu the Second did not dare to speak, so they could only accept being turned away.
After closing the door, Madam Xu asked in a low voice, "What should we do?"
Xu Wenxing refused to give up. For the sake of the Xu family, for his son, he was determined to enter the Song family.
They really know they were wrong, and the eldest sister-in-law has gone back to her parents' home and hasn't returned yet.
My elder brother is in a daze all day long, and now no one cares about anything in the manor.
If only my third brother were here, he would definitely be able to come up with a solution for them.
But he forgot that the third master of the Xu family was forced out by the two brothers.
The eldest and second eldest sons of the Xu family were not exactly heinous villains, but they were selfish.
The most promising member of the Xu family was the third son.
The third master of the Xu family did not pursue an official career, but instead went into business. He owned many shops in the capital and made a lot of money, which made him very popular with the old lady.
However, the eldest son's family and the second son's family began to feel resentful, saying that the old lady was biased and that the third son was unfilial for not bringing money home after earning it.
Half of the money earned from the shop by the third master of the Xu family was taken back home, but they wanted it all.
Later, seeing that his two sisters-in-law were going too far and his two brothers were not doing anything about it, he had no choice but to leave the Xu family and leave the capital.
Even now, these two are still oblivious to their own shortcomings. They've made a mess of their home and still think that someone has abandoned them.
Yunniang went back to her room, and Song Ning asked, "How is it? Has she left?"
"They've left, but I don't know if they'll ever come back."
I used to be afraid of getting involved with them, but now I've become the one who's stuck with them.
"Mother, I'll send two people home tomorrow. They'll be there to watch over the yard for us. If any uninvited guests come, we can just kick them out to avoid any trouble."
Today is Song Ning's return visit to his parents' home. He originally wanted to stay at their house for one night, but Liu Yuelan did not agree.
"You've just gotten married, so you should go back to your residence. You can come back to stay in the manor later. Don't let Her Highness the princess think you don't know the proper etiquette."
Song Ning thought about it and decided to leave it at that and come back in a few days.
On the way back, Xie Linzhou asked, "Do I need to deal with the Xu family?"
"No need, we can handle it."
"If anything happens, be sure to tell me, and I'll stand up for you."
Song Ning chuckled: "Don't worry, I won't let myself be wronged."
On the first day after returning to her parents' home, Song Ning resumed her business as usual the next day.
Although Xie Linzhou was dissatisfied, he was busy with his own affairs and couldn't control her.
Unexpectedly, the Xu family was still persistent and actually tracked them down to the shop.
