At the Sun family home, Sun Man watched her three older brothers pouring drinks for Lu Zhou, one glass after another. She felt sorry for him. Wang Ju had chosen Qi Yan as her son-in-law, so how did he end up with this guy instead?
Wang Ju heard people say that people who wear glasses are all bad people, called "refined scoundrels".
This man named Lu Zhou is much older than my daughter, and I heard he's a famous lawyer—a thankless job, after all.
Wang Ju thought about it more and more and felt that Qi Yan was better. After all, he was a CEO and his family must be rich. How could her daughter be so blind as to not get together with that other guy?
Lu Zhou is now so drunk that he's starting to talk nonsense. He answers almost anything the three Sun brothers ask him. Sun Man is worried that he'll say something inappropriate and wants to send him away, but the eldest brother, Sun Fa, stops him with a smile.
"Little sister, we haven't finished the interrogation yet! Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Brother, it's already past ten o'clock. If we don't go back soon, his friend will worry."
Sun Cai, the second brother, chimed in, "Little sister, you seem very guilty. Did you do something you shouldn't have done with this guy?"
Sun Man hurriedly waved her hand, "No...no, he respects me a lot."
Sun Fu, the third brother, filled Lu Zhou's cup again and started to probe for information after seeing that he had drunk enough.
"Big lawyer, do you like my sister?"
Lu Zhou gazed at Sun Man with tender affection, his eyes filled with a love that could drown a person.
"I...I like her. Although Manman has a fiery temper, she's a very nice person. It would be even better if she could be gentler with me."
Sun Man saw that Lu Zhou was so drunk he was slurring his words, yet he still called her shrewish. He must like gentle people, right? She hoped he wouldn't regret it when he sobered up tomorrow.
Qi Yan and his troupe sang until almost midnight at the Su family's place. Today, everyone in the opera troupe was just there for show; they used to sing for others, but today their work was taken over.
He Ci's parents were taken to the county town by Feng Fu. There was nowhere for so many people to stay in the village, and luckily there was a hotel in the county town for Sun Hao and his family.
Sun Hao still wanted to join the festivities in the wedding night, so he asked Feng Fu to take everyone back to the hotel. He Zhan rarely saw the children having so much fun, so the couple led the group to the county town with Feng Fu.
After seeing the group off, Li Mei and Su Qiang hurried back to the east room, where the betrothal gifts from the He family were kept. They had refused them at the time, but He Ci's parents left them behind before leaving.
At this moment, everyone was watching the movie and listening to Qi Yan and the others sing at the door. It goes without saying what Su Ning and He Ci were doing inside the house!
Once inside, Li Mei quickly lifted the blankets on the bed, revealing trays filled with various items.
The couple exchanged a glance. The He family had accepted their daughter; otherwise, they wouldn't have offered such a generous betrothal gift.
Li Mei lifted a red cloth on a tray, and what was inside almost blinded the couple.
Gold bricks were placed side by side, and Su Qiang counted exactly ten. Then there was another tray with a pair of jade ruyi scepters, which even the two who didn't know their value thought were very expensive.
Li Mei's heart couldn't take the shock, and she stopped looking at the rest. These were her daughter's betrothal gifts, which should be kept by the young couple.
It wasn't safe to keep so much money at home, so Li Mei and Su Qiang didn't dare leave the east room. The crowd outside hadn't dispersed yet, and they were also afraid their things would be stolen.
Qi Yan and his friends were having a great time outside when they suddenly realized a serious problem: they hadn't yet started the wedding night pranks.
A group of people quietly arrived at the door of the new house. The brothers, who were considered treacherous, lay on the door eavesdropping on what was happening inside. The girl, being shy, did not eavesdrop like the rest of them.
The commotion at the door startled the people inside. He Ci didn't care about them; he would kill anyone who dared to ruin his plans. Su Ning didn't dare to make a sound, afraid of being overheard.
The houses in the countryside weren't very soundproof, and Su Ning gripped He Ci's arm tightly, extremely nervous.
He Ci was very excited by Su Ning. People outside could only hear the bed shaking inside, and it seemed to be shaking quite hard, as if it was deliberately shaking for them to hear. When Li Mei came out, she saw a group of people eavesdropping, and she went up to chase them away in an annoyed manner.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Ning finally couldn't hold back and cried out. He Ci was very satisfied with her performance. He didn't know when the people outside left. Su Ning didn't know how she would face people tomorrow.
