Her sister-in-law's voice was shrill, clearly trying to make things difficult for her, and it sounded particularly harsh in this lively atmosphere. Shen Yueying's hands trembled slightly, and anger suddenly surged in her eyes.

But when she looked at her parents who were sitting not far away with apologetic smiles on their faces, she knew that she must not lose her temper at this moment. She could only hold it in, bite her lip, and try to keep herself calm, continuing this important part of the ceremony, and answering verbally.

"The Gu family is indeed a wealthy family. I am a rural girl from a small family in the mountains. I am young and need to rely more on my parents-in-law for education. I hope I can satisfy my parents-in-law and my brother and sister-in-law in the future." Her words were gentle and respectful enough.

But only Shen Rongrong knew that the Gu family was a bottomless abyss, and no amount of tenderness would have any effect.

Sure enough, even though Shen Yueying was clearly trying to keep things quiet, the eldest sister-in-law of the Gu family did not seem to intend to give up.

When Shen Yueying handed the tea to her parents-in-law, her sister-in-law deliberately bumped her arm, causing the teacup to shake and some tea to splash out onto Gu's mother's clothes.

"Oh, what's the matter with you? You are so clumsy that you can make such a mistake on such a happy day!"

When Gu's mother saw that her precious silk clothes were stained with tea, her face changed immediately and she shouted at the top of her voice.

The look was as if Shen Yueying had made a huge mistake that was unforgivable.

Seeing the two elders of the Shen family suddenly look like their hearts were in their throats, Shen Yueying was startled and quickly knelt down with a plop, with tears in her eyes, and apologized anxiously:

"Mom, I'm sorry, I...I didn't mean it, it was my sister-in-law..."

"Who is your mother!"

The old lady was angry. She reached out to Gu's eldest sister-in-law for a handkerchief and quickly wiped the tea off her body.

The eldest sister-in-law also shook her head in dissatisfaction: "You haven't even had time to serve tea and change your words yet, isn't it too hasty to call me mom now? At least you have to wait until the etiquette is over."

"Yes...Auntie." Shen Yueying immediately changed her words: "They are all sisters-in-law..."

"You still dare to quibble? You are careless and you blame it on others?" Gu's father also frowned and said with displeasure: "Sister-in-law came in before you! Even if Sister-in-law is wrong, you have to be polite and make peace with her, understand?"

Gu Yifeng watched this scene from the side, frowning slightly.

Although he couldn't say that he had any deep feelings for Shen Yueying, he still felt that it was a bit inappropriate for his parents and sister-in-law to make things difficult for her in public.

After all, this was a wedding held in the military compound, with so many eyes watching. It would not be good for the Gu family's reputation if the news got out, so he whispered some advice.

"Mom, Dad, sister-in-law, today is a happy day, don't worry about it, Yueying didn't do it on purpose."

"Hmph, Yifeng, don't spoil her too much," the eldest sister-in-law of the Gu family responded relentlessly, "This is just the beginning. What if she develops bad habits in the future? I know this woman well. She is not an easy person to deal with! Just wait and see if you don't believe me!"

Shen Yueying remained kneeling on the ground in the posture of offering tea, tears welling up in her eyes.

She felt that her position in this family had been so humble from the very beginning, and that all this was her own fault.

Even though she knew that the Gu family was such a place, she never expected that she would have to endure such hardships on her wedding day.

Shen Yueying was both angry and resentful. She was angry at her sister-in-law for deliberately finding fault with her, and she hated herself for using those methods in the first place and ending up in this situation.

If she had followed Chen Yu peacefully, even if they had no children after marriage, she would not have been bullied by Shen Rongrong like she is now, and she would not have to watch her fun.

At this time, Shen Rongrong, who was watching the fun from the sidelines, as the sister who facilitated this marriage, really could not sit idly by for both moral and logical reasons.

She let go of Chen Yu's arm, walked quickly forward to help Shen Yueying up, then turned to face everyone present and said sincerely.

"Uncle, aunt, sister-in-law, today is my sister's big day. So many eyes are watching, everyone should calm down. The spilled tea is not a big deal, don't let such a small thing ruin the harmony."

Gu's mother glanced at Shen Rongrong and said coldly: "This is our Gu family's business. It is not your turn as an outsider to interfere."

The indifference and rejection in the old lady's words made people feel very uncomfortable, and also made Shen Rongrong feel a little embarrassed.

Chen Yu's face darkened when he heard this. He strode forward, stood beside Shen Rongrong, and said in a bad tone: "Auntie, Rongrong also meant well, it's not appropriate for you to say that. Besides, there are so many guests here today, and everyone is watching. Isn't it better to save some face for each other?"

The Gu family's parents did look down on the Shen sisters who came from the mountains, but since Chen Yu had come forward and was now the immediate superior of their youngest son, they could not say anything more. They just snorted and said no more.

Gu Yifeng watched Shen Rongrong and Chen Yu stand up for Shen Yueying, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

He had always felt that Shen Yueying was not good to Shen Rongrong, but now that he saw Shen Rongrong being so generous and speaking up for her sister at a time like this, he felt a little more regretful towards Shen Rongrong.

After some twists and turns, the wedding ceremony finally went on.

Witnessed by their elders and guests, Shen Yueying and Gu Yifeng completed the traditional wedding ceremony and officially became husband and wife.

Listening to the people around her happily shouting "Send her to the bridal chamber", Shen Yueying felt bitter.

I thought that even if I couldn't get Chen Yu's love, I could at least live a good life thanks to the status of the Gu family. I just thought that at least I would be able to eat and drink well in the future.

But she never expected that what was waiting for her was a nightmare-like married life.

Shen Rongrong knew very well that Gu's parents were extremely superstitious people. They believed in an absurd saying that torturing their daughter-in-law could bring good luck to their family. Therefore, from the moment Shen Yueying stepped into the door of the Gu family, she was destined to suffer many inhuman treatments.

The wedding night should be a moment full of sweetness and warmth.

After the guests left, Shen Yueying sat in the bridal chamber with a feeling of trepidation and a hint of anticipation, waiting for Gu Yifeng's arrival.

However, it was Gu's parents and several servants who showed up. Gu's parents looked gloomy, and with a wave of their hands, several servants pulled out ropes and tied up Shen Yueying without saying anything.

Shen Yueying struggled in fear and shouted, "What are you doing? Let me go!"

Gu's father asked the servant to raise the rope to a height where she could barely stand. Then he said coldly, "Once you enter our Gu family, you must abide by our rules. This first night will teach you what it means to be a daughter-in-law of the Gu family. Just bear with it!"
