Nie Shuangling joined in. She now looked down upon her own mother. Not only did she not pay her respects to her, she even took a detour when she saw Su Man.
Yu Man hesitated and said, "Sister, you manage the household so well, but you should be more frugal and prepare a good birthday banquet for mother."
Qin Wanrou smiled and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? How much money can these things cost? Mother's birthday banquet must be a grand feast with many guests."
Mother Nie said, "It's not good to be too extravagant."
"Mother, you have worked hard to raise the general. This is also a small token of my gratitude as a daughter-in-law. Mother, please don't refuse it." Qin Wanrou said sweetly.
After hearing this, Nie's mother was extremely happy. In previous years, they had held the wedding behind closed doors on the grounds that it was not appropriate to be extravagant. It was considered good if they could invite a few relatives. This year, they could actually hold it in such a grand manner, which was really an honor.
"Wanrou is respectful and filial. I plan to take Wanrou to see the world during the hunting trip the day after tomorrow." Nie You, who had been quiet all the time, suddenly spoke.
This matter itself is against the rules. It is very difficult to bring a concubine to such an occasion, not to mention that she is just a maid.
But in Nie You's heart, Qin Wanrou would eventually become his co-wife, so it would be good for her to meet the women of the capital sooner rather than later. Besides, Rou'er was so gentle and virtuous, he believed she would be more likable than Yuman.
Since Nie's mother had received benefits from Qin Wanrou, she naturally took advantage of her, but Yuman was completely ignored.
...
In June, the grass is green and the birds are singing. The royal hunting grounds have been surrounded by soldiers since three days ago.
This was Qin Wanrou's first time meeting the women of the capital. She was so excited she couldn't sleep for half the night that first day, and the next day she was up before dawn getting dressed. Her mother combed her hair into a bun, a style popular in the capital, and pinned an elegant hairpin on her head. She touched up her makeup again and again until there were no flaws left.
When Nie You got up and saw her, his eyes lit up, "My Rou'er is indeed the most beautiful. Dressed like this, no one would say anything if I told you that you are my legal wife."
Qin Wanrou scolded, "My husband, what are you talking about? How can I compare with my sister?"
Nie You snorted coldly, "She can't compare to you."
When Nie You helped Qin Wanrou into the carriage, Su Man came out.
