"Red envelope." Old Madam Hua said calmly, "The daughter of the Xu family married into the Hua family. Although she is the legal wife, she is also the stepmother."

"On the second day after the wedding, she should bow to you and offer you tea." Old Madam Hua continued, "This will be given to her when the time comes."

Hua Yuanzhao responded, feeling quite uncomfortable.

How could such a beautiful flower be stuck in cow dung?

The prime minister marrying a wife is a big event, but neither the Hua family nor the Xu family has the intention of making a big show of it.

Therefore, at this wedding, even though there was a long line of people outside the mansion giving gifts, there were only a few guests inside the mansion.

Old Madam Hua called Hua Yuanzhao to Fushou Hall early in the morning, helped her dress up, and brought her to her side to serve her.

Everyone looked at Hua Yuanzhao who was following the old lady, with a myriad of thoughts in their minds.

Everyone has heard the rumors on the street recently, but most people just treat them as jokes after dinner.

But the old lady of the Hua family suddenly praised Hua Yuanzhao. Could it be that the rumors were true? Was Hua Yuanzhao about to rise to power?

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Hua Yuanzhao with eagerness.

Hua Yuanzhao was dizzy from the torment. He followed behind Old Madam Hua in a daze, watching the two of them pay their respects to their parents.

Suddenly, Madam Han interrupted: "The daughter of the Xu family is married as the second wife, so she should worship the tablet of the original wife."

Xu Wanqing's body stiffened slightly, then relaxed.

A second wife, even if she is married in a formal ceremony, should still perform the rituals of a concubine in front of the tablet of the original wife.

"But there is no Sun family spirit tablet in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so this ceremony can be omitted." Mrs. Han lowered her eyes and continued.

Hua Yuanzhao suddenly clenched his fists. Sun was the original body's mother! Even after her death for many years, her tablet could not enter the Hua family ancestral hall!

The people watching the ceremony suddenly became excited and couldn't help talking about it.

"The ancestral hall does not have a tablet for the original wife... So is the Xu family girl the original wife or the second wife?"

"If the original wife died without a memorial tablet, how is this different from divorcing her?"

"If the previous one is a divorced wife, then this Xu family girl can't be considered a successor, right?"

"What terrible mistake did Sun commit? Why can't the tablet even enter the Hua family ancestral hall?"

"It can't be that she's having an affair, right?"

…

Mrs. Han listened to the discussions and looked at Hua Yuanzhao, who looked embarrassed, with satisfaction.

Didn't the mother want to establish authority for this little bitch? She wanted to embarrass the little bitch!

Hua Yuanshan rolled her eyes and looked at Hua Yuanzhao with ill intent.

Although Daddy ordered that no tablet be set up for Sun, how could that little bitch be willing to let Sun not even have the pleasure of receiving incense?

This Hua Yuanzhao must have a tablet hidden in private!

Hua Yuanshan cleared her throat and stood up and said, "If this kind of thing that breaks the rules gets out, people will inevitably say that our Hua and Xu families don't know etiquette."

She stared at Hua Yuanzhao and advised loudly: "Since my elder sister is a daughter, I think she will worship Sun privately. Why don't you go and get the tablet?"

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo sneered and whispered, "This second young lady of the Hua family is very calculating."

"What do you mean?" Princess Lin'an came over nervously and asked.

Who wants to bully Sister Hua!

"After Sun's death, the Prime Minister's mansion did not set up a memorial tablet. I think there must be a reason for this." The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo lowered her voice and analyzed: "No matter what the reason is, the Prime Minister will definitely order that no one in the mansion is allowed to set up a memorial tablet for Sun."

"Then Sister Hua, can't you just not take it out?" Princess Lin'an asked quietly.

"If you can't take it out..." The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo shook her head: "As a child, it is unfilial not to offer sacrifices to your deceased mother."

Rong Xiu's face was gloomy: "This is a yin-yang situation. No matter what she does, it will be wrong."

Princess Lin'an snorted, and suddenly raised her voice and shouted, "Your Hua family has no manners to begin with! Don't you think it's unlucky to ask someone to bring out the tablet in the wedding hall?"

Hua Yuanzhao was about to speak when Princess Lin'an spoke first. He was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to refute Hua Yuanshan first, or to capture Princess Lin'an and beat her up first.

Prime Minister Hua's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot. He glared at the calm and composed wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, and when he found that the latter was unmoved, he turned and cursed Hua Yuanzhao.

"Evil creature! Do you have to cause trouble on your father's happy day?"

Xu Wanqing clenched her fists. Although she didn't know why the Hua family didn't set up a tablet for the Sun family, now that the matter had been brought to the open, it would be wrong whether Hua Yuanzhao could take out the tablet today or not.

"Since there is no tablet for my sister at today's wedding banquet, why not let the eldest lady accept the gift on her behalf." Xu Wanqing hesitated for a long time before speaking and stepped forward to smooth things over.

"My eldest daughter is my elder sister, so you can accept my respect on my behalf."
