Liang Shuyan felt weak all over. She struggled to get up from the ground and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "It's alright, I was just worried about the princess!"
The princess is now to be sent to Daliang for a political marriage. You must know that the groom is a murderous devil who is also lecherous and wicked. He is no good at all. If the emperor really wants to send the princess for the political marriage, what will become of the princess in the future?
Liang Shuyan was extremely worried whenever she thought about this.
The county magistrate quickly learned of the news and rushed to Liang Shuyan's house, saying that the Crown Prince of Daliang was in love with the daughter of the Prime Minister, so Princess Sweetheart would not have to marry far away. This news immediately made Liang Shuyan's courtyard lively.
Grandma Jin is now retired and helps take care of her grandson, enjoying her old age. Upon learning that the princess doesn't have to marry so far away, she happily said, "Great! Great! It seems the Bodhisattva is truly efficacious. I've been praying to the Bodhisattva for the princess all this time. Thank you, Bodhisattva, for saving my little girl's life!"
Liang Shuyan was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth: "Mother, you must not say anything carelessly, it could implicate our whole family."
The magistrate then took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Liang Shuyan: "Madam, you have done a lot for all of us, and we all remember it. Niu Niu was raised by you. Now, this matter has reached the Emperor. The Emperor has ordered that you be given several personal guards and that the Prime Minister and others protect your safety. If anything happens to you, the Emperor will hold them accountable!"
The Emperor looked at the magistrate in surprise, a sense of worry rising in her heart. She thought that the magistrate must have been the one to mediate this matter; otherwise, why would the Emperor issue such an imperial edict at this critical juncture?
The magistrate laughed heartily, "Don't flatter me about this. I don't have that ability. It's all thanks to the princess and His Highness. The Emperor said that every summer when the lotus pond is in bloom, the princess and His Highness should come to Daling Village to play. I also want His Highness to learn more about the local customs and conditions so that he can better serve the people in the future."
Da Shan said happily, "Mother, since that's the case, what are you still worried about? It just so happens that today is Zhao Heng and Xuehua's wedding day, so why don't we have a good time to celebrate?"
The magistrate was naturally overjoyed that his son was getting married. He said with a smile, "Yes, I, as his father, had actually forgotten about this for a moment. So, to make everyone happy, I've decided to have everyone from Daling Village come to the center of our village street to celebrate Heng'er's wedding and let everyone have a good time!"
Erniu arrived in the village with a group of people. As soon as he saw Liang Shuyan, he brought up the princess: "Mother, do you think Niu Niu will come when Zhao Heng and Xuehua get married?"
"Don't be presumptuous! We are now Princess Sweetheart. Although the Emperor has shown us favor, we must not forget our status. A princess is a princess. Do you understand? Especially at the banquet, there will likely be many more relatives and friends coming. You all need to watch your words!"
Erniu scratched his head, his face flushed, and said, "Okay, Mother, yes, it's a princess, I'll remember!"
Ruyan and Sanwang also came. After a few days, Ruyan's belly was also showing. It was clear that in a few more months, Liang Shuyan would be able to welcome a little grandson.
Ruyan, with her hands on her hips, smiled as she saw her mother-in-law and said, "Mother, we'll know about this. This is no joke!"
Mr. Su arrived at the scene with Manager Xiao and Su Qiaoqiao. Since Su Qiaoqiao had been with Manager Xiao, Mr. Su's mood had improved a lot, and Liang Shuyan entrusted several businesses in Beijing to them for management.
Su Qiaoqiao is a skilled salesperson. No matter what kind of business it is, she can successfully introduce it to merchants and earn higher profits than others. She is indeed a rare talent.
There was hardly anyone left in Steward Xiao's house except for his old mother. She was overjoyed to learn that her son had gotten married and traveled a long way to Daling Village.
Liang Shuyan was a matchmaker, and with her help, she introduced Mr. Su to her. The two families hit it off immediately and are now a happy family. They bought several shops on the streets of Daling Village, and the elderly couple are now running a pickled vegetable business.
Aunt Liu lived a relatively leisurely life, helping Yinxia take care of the children. Fatty Dan also started a business in the city. As he got older, he gradually became more attentive to Yinxia. The family also built a house, and he would occasionally buy things to show his respect to Aunt Liu and Old Man Liu.
Old Liu always tells everyone he's lucky, saying both of his sons-in-law are good. It's just that Jinxia doesn't visit her parents' home often, and when she does, she talks a lot, which makes Aunt Liu unhappy. Jinxia only stays for a short while before going back home. However, at her husband's family home, she's considered a good manager, running the Lizheng family's life very well. This makes Lizheng praise his wife to everyone he meets, saying she's introduced them to a good daughter-in-law.
Old Mrs. Li slowly stepped down from the carriage and walked to the door. Seeing that everyone had arrived, she said with a smile, "Oh my, I really didn't expect that this old woman would be able to wait for my grandson's wedding banquet! Well, Daling Village is a good place. Look, your wife and your county magistrate have made this place as nice as a town!"
Upon hearing his mother praise him in front of so many people, the magistrate hurriedly went to Old Lady Li's side, took her hand, and said, "Mother, please don't say that this has nothing to do with your son. If we're talking about how Daling Village has become what it is today, all the credit goes to Ruren and Lizheng!"
Li Zheng was also about to be promoted, and the county magistrate wanted him to work in the county government. However, Li Zheng said that he could not bear to leave the villagers of Daling Village. Finally, after Li Zheng and the villagers insisted, the county magistrate decided to let him stay in Daling Village to benefit the villagers.
Liang Shuyan's cosmetics company was also thriving, with orders pouring in like snowflakes, which made her very happy. Most of these customers were villagers who went out to promote and sell her cosmetics, which made them so popular. Today happened to be Zhao Heng and Xuehua's wedding day, and all the villagers were there. So, she ordered her people to bring out several boxes of hand cream and beauty cream from the warehouse.
At the banquet, Zhao Heng and Xuehua came to Liang Shuyan, poured her a glass of wine, and handed it to her.
"Auntie, Zhao Heng and Xuehua are where they are today thanks to your help. Zhao Heng thanks you, Auntie!"
A shout came from outside the door: "The princess has arrived! Quickly, tell everyone to come out and kneel to welcome her!"
The crowd knelt at the door, creating a noisy scene. Then, the beautifully dressed Sweetheart Princess slowly walked out of the carriage, followed by a group of maids, and walked towards Liang Shuyan.
