Since Yi Ning said it was available, then so be it! She thought about it and decided to let the maid move it back to the warehouse for Yi Ning.
Luo Chengzhang wanted to say something when he heard this, but he saw the look Luo Shenyuan was giving him. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was true that now... he didn't dare to go against his son's wishes.
Of course he didn't like Yining! He had never seen a family marrying off their daughter with a dowry of guards. What kind of style was this? He said he had something to do and strode out of the main room.
After Yining paid his respects and served tea, the others came in one after another.
Since all the people present were women, it was not appropriate for Luo Shenyuan to stay. He excused himself from Lin Hairu and went to the study to deal with his affairs.
Lin Hairu asked the maid to bring up some fruits and snacks. Yi Ning hadn't seen these people for a long time, and she glanced around. Maybe because she had too many things to worry about, Chen looked much older than before. Luo Yiyu had her hair combed into a woman's bun, and she looked almost the same as a few years ago, and she was cold to everyone. Luo Yixiu peeled grapes slowly. Aunt Qiao and her daughter were oblivious to the world, with indifferent expressions. With the grudge she had with the two mother and daughter, it was estimated that they would dislike each other for the rest of their lives, and Yi Ning didn't want to resolve it. After hearing Luo Yilian call her "Third Sister-in-law", she gave her a jade bracelet as a gift.
Luo Yilian also looked at her.
She seemed to understand a little why Luo Shenyuan wanted to marry her against his family's wishes and even against the relationship between brother and sister.
It had been less than two years, and she was only fourteen. But the ethereal charm in her eyes and eyebrows captivated anyone who saw her. No matter how young she was, men still wanted to control her. Luo Yilian frowned. She knew her strengths well; her delicate demeanor drew sympathy. But Yining was completely different; she only inspired a desire for possession.
Luo Yilian sneered inwardly. Everyone said Luo Shenyuan married Luo Yining to help her, but that must be because they had never seen Luo Yining in person. If they had, everyone would want to "help her."
What a pity, this kind of beauty is ultimately a disaster.
Chen was exceptionally welcoming, a practical person. Since Yi Ning had no conflicts with her, and Yi Ning was of high status, she treated her with a warm warmth, introducing her two sisters-in-law to her. Coincidentally, while not from the same clan, the two sisters-in-law shared the surname Zhou. They were called Big Zhou and Little Zhou. Both were incredibly beautiful, but they didn't quite get along.
Yi Ning bowed and called out to her elder and second sisters-in-law. Looking at the Luo Yiyu sisters, and then at the Zhou sisters, who were sulking at each other, she could only lament that the eldest wife's family was in turmoil; it must be bad feng shui.

At noon, the servants brought up a plate of cantaloupe. Luo Yixiu took it first and forked a piece. Luo Yiyu looked at it and said coldly, "You think you've been spoiled and don't care about seniority. You're the last one in the room to eat first."
Luo Yixiu slammed the table when she heard this, as if a powder keg had been set on fire: "Luo Yiyu, why are you being so sarcastic? What if I ate something? You can't show off in someone else's house, and you come back to show off!"
Yi Ning hadn't expected the two sisters to be so easily provoked. She looked back at Lin Hairu, who looked perfectly normal. She must have gotten used to it. Chen's face was livid, but she ignored them.
Luo Yiyu retorted, "You want to eat it, but will they let you? A girl is about to step on your head, and you still have the nerve to do that."
The two sisters were about to fight. After all, the guests from last night had not left yet, and they had to continue the recognition process in the afternoon, otherwise they would not be able to stop.
Seeing Luo Yi's delicate and cheerful appearance, Yi Ning pulled her to the west side room for tea and said to her, "It's been two years, why are you still not getting along with your biological sister? It's like fighting cocks."
Luo Yixiu said: "I don't get along with her? Look who can get along with her? She and her mother-in-law are also in a mess. Isn't it just relying on others' love? Brother-in-law Liu came to see her three times, but she refused to go back..."
Seeing her somewhat unwilling expression, Yi Ning suddenly understood a little and whispered, "Fifth brother-in-law...didn't he come to see you?"
Luo Yixiu shook her head and said, "No... I just sent a maid to bring me a message, telling me not to act like other people. Yining, I married him because I really loved him. I took care of the housework for him and made myself gentle and submissive. But he didn't think it was a big deal..." Her eyes were a little confused. "Why do some people have people obsessed with them? No matter how much they treat others, they still like them. But for some people, no matter how well they do, it's useless. I just don't understand..."
Yi Ning put his hand on her shoulder and comforted her, saying, "No matter how passionate you are, it will eventually fade. Don't dwell on it."
Luo Yixiu didn't really care. Her eyes swiveled, a hint of girlish cunning in her. "I have something to ask you. Why did you marry Luo Shenyuan? I heard... your third brother seems to be gifted in that area. What do you think? You seem to be in good spirits today..."
When Yi Ning realized what she said, she wanted to twist her to death. She said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Who told you that?"
"Your third brother's maid... I saw her when I was helping him take a bath." Miss Luo Yixiu has been fond of all kinds of gossip since she was a child. When she was even younger, she would tell Yining all the bad things her mother said.
Yi Ning had no choice but to say, "I'm young, I haven't... Don't ask about these messy things in the future!"
"You didn't consummate the marriage?" Luo Yixiu looked at Yi Ning in surprise and continued, "Your third brother is the Minister of Works and he's so handsome. Although I heard that he married you to help you, you have to seize this opportunity and get him married... Otherwise, wouldn't this be a waste of such a great opportunity?"
Yi Ning drank the ginger and jujube tea in front of her in one gulp and said helplessly, "Let's go talk outside. I heard that your fourth aunt is coming this time too. Don't you want to go and see her?"
