Chapter 265 Just do what you want
Wu Jin's wedding was in the latter half of the month. Although the Wu family's business was not spread throughout Dacong like the Meng family's, it was still a well-known business in the imperial capital. Therefore, there were many guests at the wedding.
During this period of time, there were always various things going on. Finally, there was such a big wedding. Chen Heng specially wore the clothes bought by her, along with her sister-in-law and the nanny, to attend the wedding banquet.
My eldest sister-in-law was particularly happy: "Min'er should be back in a couple of days, so he won't have to go to the academy anymore. I haven't seen him for several months. I wonder if he has grown taller."
"Maybe he has become a handsome young man." Shen Hengyu.
Nanny Feng and Mrs. Xia both burst into laughter.
At this time, big red lanterns were hung high in the Wu Mansion, and the host and servants were all dressed in festive clothes to welcome guests. There were guests with smiling faces inside and outside the door.
Chen Heng and the other two arrived at the Wu family on time, just when Madam Wu arrived. They came with music and dancing all the way, making it quite lively.
Xie Jian, Meng Xuanlang, and Ouyang En, as good friends of Wu Jin, arrived at Wu's house early to accompany him to welcome the bride. However, since the bride had no relatives, many steps were saved.
"Madam, come in—"
"Bow to Heaven and Earth—"
Compared with Meng Xuanlang's wedding, the Wu family's wedding ceremony was much simpler, but just as lively.
"Aheng." Mrs. Peng and Liu Xinyue entered the lobby.
"Why did you come just now?" Chen Heng hadn't seen Mrs. Peng just now.
"Xinyue was delayed by someone. I came just in time. Madam has taken off the wedding veil." Mrs. Peng said with a smile.
In the lobby, Wu Jin lifted his wife's veil to greet everyone.
Min Yuqing didn't seem uncomfortable at all, and greeted the elders, relatives and friends with grace and grace. When her eyes swept over Chen Heng, she was stunned when she saw Liu Xinyue chatting with Mrs. Peng.
Liu Xinyue glanced at the lady casually. Her father and Mr. Wu had a close relationship, so she came to the wedding and didn't pay much attention to Wu Jin's wife. Who would have thought that the lady kept staring at her, and when she wanted to take a closer look, she turned her face away.
Chen Heng also noticed Min Yuqing's momentary abnormality, sighed in her heart, and then immersed herself in the lively celebration again.
After the meal, the three of them took a walk in the Wu family's backyard to help digest their food.
Liu Xinyue and Nanny Feng were talking about Liu Zhiyue's life.
"In half a month, I should receive a letter from Zhiyue saying she has given birth, and then I will become an aunt." Liu Xinyue sighed.
"Yes. May God bless the girl to have a smooth delivery and give birth to a boy." This is what Nanny Feng always said whether she went to burn incense or just nagging.
Peng, who was walking in front with Shen Heng, saw that Liu Xinyue and the nanny were happily chatting and paying no attention to her. She whispered, "The Si family is a powerful clan. If Liu Zhiyue doesn't have her own people, it will be difficult for her to gain a foothold even if she gives birth to a son."
She couldn't tell Xinyue this. After all, her disappointing sister and Si Qifa had had such a relationship. No matter what she said, it felt like they were not getting along.
Chen Heng didn't understand the situation and just listened.
"However, Liu Zhiyue is quite capable. I heard that she has won over several retainers of the Si family." said Mrs. Peng.
"How do you know?" Chen Heng asked.
"It was mentioned in the letter from home." Mrs. Peng dropped her smile. Third Sister's actions had brought shame upon the entire family, but the Si family had indeed been interested in her from the beginning, and even her parents had believed so. Everyone was furious that Third Sister had ended up like this. Therefore, when the women chatted with each other, they would pay attention to Liu Zhiyue's behavior.
Chen Heng looked at the path ahead, illuminated by large red lanterns, in silence. The fate of her, Liu Zhiyue, and Chen Heng had already been sealed. As for what the future would hold, it all depended on their own actions.
Because Xie Jian was stopped by Meng Xuanlang and Ouyang En, who insisted on getting him to drink a few more cups, Chen Heng, the eldest sister-in-law, and Nanny Feng came back first.
After washing up, Chen Heng habitually wanted to take a look at the account book, but suddenly didn't want to read it anymore. Just as she was about to put it back, she saw a piece of paper stuck in the book that Xie Jian often read, with half of the paper sticking out. It was really rare. This guy seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Even if he wanted to put a note in, he would never show a corner.
I took the book and wanted to put the note back, only to find words written on it: One's behavior must not offend heaven and earth.
