Zhou Derong and her mother-in-law rushed out to see what was going on, only to find the Sheng family and the Cheng family on an outing.
Leading the group were Madam Sheng, Qin Feifei, and Aunt Feng, with Sheng Qing and Sheng Hantao acting as 'guards' on either side of them.
Are these guards? They're clearly watchmen.
Seeing this, Granny Qin subconsciously assumed that the Sheng family had come to discuss the marriage. "Sister-in-law Hu, I won't talk to you anymore. My in-laws have come to propose marriage. Once the wedding date is set, remember to come to my house for a celebratory drink."
Zhou Derong was so excited that her whole body was trembling. The Sheng family had given the Qin family such a grand display, actually sending two meritorious officials to discuss the marriage. Outsiders could tell at a glance how much the Sheng family valued this marriage. Those petty people who used to mock the Qin family should shut up now.
Her daughter, Qin Feifei, was born lucky; she was like a phoenix soaring to the top.
Old Mrs. Qin was a man who favored sons over daughters. In the past, she had argued with Zhou Derong, who was willing to save money to make sure her daughter was well taken care of. As it turned out, Zhou Derong was right. Qin Feifei was quite capable, and unexpectedly, she and her daughter were able to marry into the Sheng family.
Thus, Qin Feifei went from being considered a "money-losing daughter" by Granny Qin to becoming the most beloved granddaughter of the Qin family. The snobbish Granny Qin knew that pleasing the mother and daughter would bring benefits to the Qin family, so she prioritized Zhou Derong's branch of the family in everything. This move had long caused resentment among the other branches of the family, especially among the granddaughters of the Qin family.
But they dared not show any dissatisfaction. On the contrary, they had to flatter and fawn over Zhou Derong and her daughter. Whether the Qin family could become rich and powerful in the future depended on Qin Feifei.
Zhou Derong and her mother promised that once Qin Feifei successfully marries into the Sheng family, they will support her family and help her brothers and sisters find good husbands.
Needless to say, ever since they got in touch with Madam Sheng, the Qin family's standard of living has skyrocketed, and they have entered a life of wealth and luxury, which has also benefited other branches of the Qin family.
Now, Zhou Derong's branch of the family not only has a great deal of influence in the Qin family and is respected by her parents-in-law, uncles, and aunts, but is also recognized as the Qin family's god of wealth. Every time they see Zhou Derong dominating Madam Sheng, the Qin family feels extremely vain.
Despite their high positions and great power, the Sheng family ultimately listened to the Qin family and paved the way for the Qin family's rise to power.
The Qin family was even more delighted, fantasizing about replacing the Sheng family and becoming one of the top five aristocratic families.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were so overwhelmed by the huge surprise that they didn't notice the awkward dishes served to the three of them.
The neighbors on the nearby streets were extremely envious and showered the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with compliments.
"So you've really come to propose marriage?"
"Mrs. Qin, your good days have finally arrived. Today, some people were jealous and mocking your Feifei, saying that she was overestimating herself and being presumptuous. They said she was rejected by her fiancé and sister-in-law and slapped in the face by the Gu family princess. They made it sound so convincing that I almost believed them."
"Now that Elder Sheng has brought his family to the Qin family, it's clear he's standing up for Qin Feifei. Your Qin family is so fortunate!"
"Even the Cheng family has come. Your Qin family's connections and status are really getting wider and wider. Congratulations! So many people marry into the top five families, but only your Qin Feifei has done it. Feifei is smart since she was little, and she is beautiful and kind. She was destined to be rich and noble in the future, and this has come true."
