After the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the Chen family became much more low-key. Ever since they asked County Magistrate He to help clear out a batch of inventory, the Chen family has been severely damaged.
As a result, the marriage of Chen Jiabao and Han Mingxiu was very hasty, and the invitation was personally delivered to Han Mingyuan by Han Mingxiu.
Han Mingyuan had no choice but to call Han Xiao over to discuss how to attend Han Mingyuan's wedding.
"No matter what, he is your second uncle. You should take Ruanruan with you." Han Mingyuan knew that Han Xiao especially hated the Chen family. With Han Mingxiu added to the mix, Han Xiao probably wouldn't give him any face and wouldn't show up.
Han Xiao looked disdainful. He picked up the invitation Han Mingyuan had placed in front of him, flipped through it, and threw it back. "Can't we just say we're busy and can't go?"
For Han Xiao, instead of attending such a boring wedding banquet, he might as well go to the kiln factory and get more glass.
Glass can still make money, what's the benefit of going to Han Mingyuan's wedding banquet? Even seeing them makes me upset.
Han Mingyuan looked at Han Xiao helplessly: "After all, the relationship has not been severed, it would not be appropriate for us not to go."
Han Mingyuan didn't really want to go, but the clan leader had already said that both father and son must be present. He didn't know what Han Mingxiu had said to the clan leader.
The clan leader has come forward, so if Han Xiao doesn't go, he will be really unworldly: "Okay, then we will come back after giving the gifts."
"Well, that's how it is." Han Mingyuan also made this decision.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Han Mingxiu's wedding. Han Xiao brought the young master to Han Mingxiu's newly bought house early.
It is much smaller than the one Han Xiao bought, but it is also more exquisite. I guess the Chen family must have spent a lot of money on it.
Han Zhang was standing outside the door, dressed in a brocade dress, welcoming the guests. Her expression changed when she saw Han Xiao approaching. However, seeing the clan leader still beside her, she walked over with a fake smile, "Han Xiao, you can't even greet your elders when you see them? You really have no manners at all."
Han Xiao hadn't expected that Han Zhang would be so foolish as to start a fight in front of the guests. A playful smile appeared on Han Xiao's lips. "Just now I thought you were a matchmaker, dressed so festively."
"Han Xiao, today is Mingyuan's big day. Just bear with me if you have to say anything." Clan leader Han had long known that the two families were not in harmony. He did not expect that Han Zhang would be so disregardful of Han Mingyuan's face.
But Han Zhang was stupid, so the Han clan leader could only instruct Han Xiao.
Han Xiao sighed and said, "Chief, I'm wronged. I just came in and I was scolded, right?"
Before Han Xiao could finish his words, he was interrupted by Han Zhang, who screamed, "You little bastard, what are you talking about?"
The passers-by looked at Han Xiao in confusion, but Han Xiao didn't care. It wasn't him who was embarrassed anyway.
The Han clan leader could no longer hold back, so he pulled Han Zhang back and said in a deep voice, "Shut up, Han Zhang, I'm warning you, if you keep looking for trouble, go back to the village and don't embarrass yourself here."
Han Zhang was very afraid of the Han clan leader. He didn't give him any face at all, and his son didn't support him either. Maybe he would have to kneel in the ancestral hall at an old age.
Thinking of the gloomy ancestral hall, Han Zhang shuddered and didn't dare to say anything more. She just looked at Han Xiao with eyes full of malice.
She should have drowned Han Xiao, the jinx, at the beginning. If it weren't for Han Xiao, her man wouldn't have died. It was all Han Xiao's fault.
The young master who followed Han Xiao got goose bumps all over his body when he was looked at by Han Zhang, and hid behind Han Xiao uneasily.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, Ruanruan." Han Xiao said, looking at Han Zhangshi. As he walked past her, he whispered, "You don't want your son's wedding to become a joke, do you? If not, then behave yourself."
Han Xiao's voice was so low that no one could hear it except Han Zhang.
Han Zhang was about to make trouble after hearing this, but suddenly saw the warning look from the Han clan leader. Han Zhang could only swallow her anger. It turned out that Han Xiao was here to defeat him.
After Han Xiao finished speaking, he didn't care about Han Zhang's reaction and walked past her with the young master in his hand.
Finding an empty seat to sit down, the young master originally wanted to sit with the other young men, but Han Xiao was worried that Han Mingxiu had bad intentions, so he put the young master under his nose.
The young master looked at him with dissatisfaction. He didn't want to sit with these stinky men. He wanted to find his own friends.
Unfortunately, Han Xiao pretended not to see anything, and the young master could only bite the snack in his hand fiercely, as if it were Han Xiao's flesh.
The wedding itself was boring and Han Xiao did not follow Han Mingyuan to get married. He asked his old father for this matter and went back to the wedding banquet to be lazy. Although it was boring, it was better than dealing with Han Mingxiu.
At 10 o'clock in the afternoon, the wedding procession finally came back with a lot of noise. Han Xiao drank some wine and watched the fun. Chen Jiabao wore a simple wedding dress. Because the wedding was too rushed, she could only buy ready-made clothes instead of custom-made ones.
Looking at the hypocritical expressions on the two men's faces, Han Xiao sneered. He wanted to see when the two would fall out.
After the newlyweds entered the bridal chamber, Han Mingxiu came to Han Xiao with a wine glass in hand and said, "Nephew Han Xiao, can you lend me your niece-in-law for a while? Jiabao and Ruanruan are close friends. I'm afraid Jiabao will be nervous, so I want Ruanruan to accompany him."
Han Xiao's expression was cold: "I'm sorry, Second Uncle, Ruanruan has never taken care of anyone before, I'm afraid it will disturb Second Aunt."
What close friend? Doesn’t Han Mingxiu blush when he says such a thing?
Everyone in Qingping Town knows that the Ruan and Chen families are at odds.
Seeing that Han Xiao disagreed, Han Mingxiu patiently requested again. Now everyone watching had some opinions about Han Xiao.
"Yes, this is the first time this new person has come to your house, and as your niece-in-law, you have to go and see her."
"Yes, yes, Han Mingxiu invited him like this, he is an elder."
"I didn't expect Han Xiao to be so arrogant. Even his elders have to speak to him in a humble manner?"
"You don't know this, right? His father is Han Mingyuan, and Han Mingyuan knows Mr. Qinghe."
“…”
Hearing more and more people talking, the young master saw that Han Xiao's face was getting uglier and uglier. He gently held Han Xiao's hand and said softly, "Second Uncle misunderstood. My husband just told me that he wanted me to go see Second Aunt, but I just saw that Young Master He was already with Second Aunt, so I didn't dare to disturb her."
The young master said this with sincerity and earnestness: "If Second Uncle doesn't mind my clumsiness, I can take care of Second Aunt now."
Now the onlookers remembered that, yes, there was indeed someone following the newlyweds. The young master was originally the same age as Chen Jiabao, and now one was marrying his nephew and the other was marrying his uncle, which was a bit awkward in terms of status.
Besides, she has close friends in the closet, so it wouldn’t be appropriate to let a junior go there.
Han Mingxiu was very strong-willed. Even when the young master exposed him, he remained calm. "I didn't expect that. I just thought you two were of the same age, so you should be able to talk things over. If you don't want me to, I can find someone else."
