Even though it wasn't her first marriage, as long as it was still the same person, she always had endless expectations in her heart. So she didn't want to leave at this time and just wanted to stay with him forever.
As Lu Qingyan thought about these things, she felt that life was incredibly sweet. However, although she felt good, some people were not so happy.
Prince Xiao's Mansion.
With the imperial decree issued, the eldest princess could only watch as her precious son married He Yiyi, a woman who was utterly useless. In a fit of anger, she lashed out at her eldest daughter-in-law: "Liu Chen is the heir apparent's own brother. As his elder sister-in-law, you don't even try to persuade him to stop, just letting him run wild like this. Where does this leave the reputation of the Xiao Prince's Mansion?"
Princess Consort Su was also formidable. She wouldn't let her mother-in-law's lecture go unheeded: "Mother, you're mistaken. The saying 'eldest sister-in-law is like a mother' only applies after your passing. Now that you're still alive and well, how dare I overstep my bounds? I am also a member of the Xiao family, and naturally I value the reputation of the Xiao Prince's residence. But Miss He is now a princess personally bestowed by the Emperor, her status is not low. What is there for Mother to be dissatisfied with? Even if you could replace her as you wish, can Mother guarantee that Second Brother would be happy? Mother, since even you can't stop me, stop using me as a pawn. I am not one of those people you can easily manipulate."
The eldest princess was so angry that her hands began to tremble: "Third brother, look at your sister-in-law's attitude! I'm the elder in this family, can't I even say a word to her?"
Xiao Laosan shook his folding fan with feigned mystery, leering at the maidservant serving the Princess: "Mother, what do you worry about my second brother? From childhood to adulthood, has he ever troubled you with anything? By the way, Mother—I've seen that Miss He once from afar. Tsk tsk, she's quite pretty, and her personality is rather interesting. If she weren't my second sister-in-law, I'd be very interested in meeting such a beauty."
"You insolent fool!" The eldest princess angrily threw the cushion she was holding at him. She and Prince Xiao had been loving and devoted to each other all their lives, with three sons. Only the eldest son was truly accomplished; the second son was the most handsome of the three, and she wanted to dote on him more, but he had never been close to anyone since childhood. The third son, she didn't know who he inherited his temperament from, was a womanizer. It was bad enough that he spent his days frolicking with those vixens outside, but when he came home, he would also seduce the young and beautiful maids. Who would dare marry any woman in the family to him if things continued like this? With one after another like this, how could she, as a mother, not be heartbroken?
She really didn't like her second daughter-in-law's background, so it seemed she would have to squeeze a few more people into her second son's room.
On the day of Lu Qingyan's wedding, there were indeed many people who came to offer their congratulations. Xiao Liuchen, in high spirits due to the joyous occasion, also drank quite a bit. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be very drunk, or they would only have a few drinks before going back to their room. However, Xiao Liuchen toasted each of his elders and friends one by one and then used his internal energy to force out the effects of the alcohol.
Xiao Shiqi: "..."
Master, what happened to our wedding night being all about drinking until we drop? You cheated!
Well, Xiao Liuchen had his reasons for cheating; he had specially commissioned a woman's costume to be made for this day.
The gift he most wanted to give Lu Qingyan was to wear this outfit and sing a song for her.
Xiao Liuchen thought sweetly: In the past, during the years I wasn't by your side, these were the things that kept you company. Tonight I will do the same thing as you, so that from now on, whenever you see it or hear it, you will always think of me.
