"Yuanzhi, it's getting late and we still have to travel. Why isn't Fei'er here yet?"
"Is this child oversleeping again?"
Su Yuanzhi sat down in the dining room and looked at Madam Yun.
"Mother, Fei'er is fine. She's just a little sleepy. I didn't wake her up, so I let her sleep a little longer."
Here's the thing: I discussed it with Fei'er yesterday, and I'll go back by myself today. I'll come over with her in a few days when the Mu family comes to propose marriage.
"It's rare for Fei'er to come home, so let her stay a few more days. I'll have to trouble you to take care of her these next few days."
Madam Yun smiled and glared at Su Yuanzhi.
"You child, I am Fei'er's biological mother, isn't it my duty to take care of her?"
I'm very happy that Fei'er can stay at home for a few more days, but wouldn't that be against the rules?
"Don't worry, Mother. There are no rules or regulations here. As long as I have no objection, the Su family has no objection. Let others say what they want; it has nothing to do with us."
After finishing breakfast, Su Yuanzhi set off on horseback.
Two hours later, in Su City and Su Mansion.
Upon hearing that the Wen family had agreed to the marriage proposal, Shen Yuzhen immediately took Madam Yun and Su Jingshu to buy gifts for the betrothal.
Meng Xuanyi also personally invited the best official media outlet in Suzhou.
Everyone here is a straightforward person, so once the matter was settled, they didn't delay and set the date for the marriage proposal in two days.
The specific engagement date was decided upon by the Wen family after discussions between the two families.
The marriage between Mu Cheng'an and Wenrou went very smoothly, and the engagement date was set on the day of the proposal.
Everyone originally thought that the marriage was settled smoothly.
Unexpectedly, on the day of the engagement, the Mu family arrived at the Wen family with engagement gifts.
Then a group of people came over, banging drums and gongs.
The leader was none other than Zhao Chuanbao, a notorious playboy in Jincheng.
Although the Zhao family were just ordinary merchants, Zhao Chuanbao was spoiled rotten by his mother, and his sister was the favorite concubine of the prefect of Jincheng.
Therefore, he was quite domineering in Jincheng.
Zhao Chuanbao had always been interested in Wenrou, and the Zhao family had even shamelessly gone to the Wen family to propose marriage, but unfortunately, they were directly kicked out by Madam Wen.
Although the Zhao family was very angry, they did not dare to openly and blatantly abduct the woman.
But today, when Zhao Chuanbao heard that Wenrou was getting engaged to a farmer, he started to feel resentful.
He simply went home and started crying and making a scene, insisting that he would only marry Wenrou.
Madam Zhao felt extremely sorry for her son. It was just the Wen family, wasn't it?
Her daughter is the prefect's favorite concubine; how could she not be worthy of the Wen family?
So Madam Zhao simply gathered a group of people and, with her son, went to the Wen family to fetch the bride with gongs and drums.
Just as the Wen family's prospective in-laws arrived, another group of people came. Everyone was very curious, and the doorway was instantly surrounded by people.
When I saw Zhao Chuanbao on the street, wearing a big red flower on his chest and riding a horse in his wedding attire, I understood.
The Zhao family is trying to steal the bride!
When the Zhao family mother and son arrived at the Wen family's gate, they were stopped by the guards.
Seeing that they were being stopped, the Zhao mother and son simply started shouting at the door.
"Wenrou, come out quickly, I've come to marry you."
.....................
The engagement ceremony was taking place in the Wen family hall when suddenly a servant rushed over in a hurry and whispered a few words in Master Wen's ear.
Master Wen's expression changed drastically in an instant...
Before he could react, Zhao Chuanbao's voice came through...
