Chapter 278 What a Face
After hearing Liangchen's words, Lu Xiang hesitated.
If the wedding invitation was only sent to the Lu family, Lu Xiang would not go. Who knows what would happen where Liu Anyao and Lu Mingzhu are?
Although the possibility is very low, no matter how much Liu Anyao hates herself, she would not cause trouble on her wedding day, but I am afraid that she will suddenly go crazy and not care about anything.
The Qiao family doesn't have to worry. The Qiao family's two elders love their eldest sister-in-law like a treasure. If the eldest sister-in-law doesn't go, no one will force her to go. No matter how powerful Prime Minister Liu is, the Qiao family and the Lu family are related by marriage, so it is destined that they can't rely on the Liu family, so it doesn't matter whether the eldest sister-in-law goes or not.
But now the Zhou family has also received the wedding invitation.
The second sister didn't know that she and Liu Anyao had an irreconcilable relationship, so the Zhou family felt that this was a great opportunity to establish a good relationship with the Liu family.
"Who from the Zhou family were invited?" Lu Xiang asked Lu Yao.
Lu Yao said: "The wedding invitation invited me and my husband."
Lu Xiang secretly sighed, who knows what will happen to the second sister, this little lamb, who has fallen into the tiger's mouth of the Xiao Mansion?
Regardless of whether Liu Anyao was provoking her or setting a trap for her, Lu Xiang couldn't bear to see Lu Yao being implicated because of her.
"Then let's go together." Lu Xiang said.
Hearing this, Lu Yao's nervous heart relaxed a little: "Third sister, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. With you by my side, I feel more confident."
The Zhou family was not a prominent family. A small Dali Temple secretary was nothing in the capital. The circle of friends he made were all of similar level, not to mention the head of all officials like Prime Minister Liu, who was even more unattainable for the Zhou family.
The eldest brother Zhou Huaian did play with Prince An, but he was just a little follower. Prince An was a playboy who had accomplished nothing except eating, drinking and having fun.
A while ago, he was stripped of his title of Prince because he offended the Eighth Prince. The Zhou family was in a state of panic for a while, fearing that the Eighth Prince would vent his anger on them one day.
Liang Chen listened to the conversation between the two and said, "Then I will go back and tell the eldest young lady to go with us."
Lu Xiang shook his head and looked at Liang Chen: "Liang Chen, let my sister-in-law claim to be sick. Although the Xiao family sent wedding invitations to each of us, outsiders will only think that the wedding invitations were sent to the Lu family, so one of me or my sister-in-law can go on behalf of us."
The Lu family does not have a mistress. The old lady is old and does not like to go out for social events. Moreover, she is determined not to hold her son back, so naturally she will not go to Liu Anyao's wedding in person.
As for Lu Youping, he would not go either.
Even Lu Mingzhu's wedding day wasn't celebrated in a grand manner. On the one hand, a son-in-law wasn't even getting married to a legal wife, but the father of one of his aunts attended the wedding banquet. Wasn't this a slap in his face?
So no matter whether it was because of Liu Xiang or Lu Mingzhu, Lu Youping would not go.
Lu Xiang went there just to show off to outsiders.
So when Qiao Jingru stayed at home sick, no one could find fault with her.
More importantly, after knowing that the person behind Yao was Liu Anyao, Lu Xiang didn't dare to let Qiao Jingru hang around in front of Liu Anyao. Who knew if she would go crazy and fight against Qiao Jingru.
Liangchen nodded in understanding and then left.
After hearing Liangchen's report, Qiao Jingru decided not to go.
But he couldn't help but worry about Lu Xiang's safety. He always felt that where Liu Anyao was, there would be unrest.
…
May 28th is the wedding day of Xiao Muheng and Liu Anyao.
In order to restore the reputation of the Liu family, Prime Minister Liu arranged a grand and high-profile wedding for his daughter. One hundred and twenty-eight loads of dowry were placed in the front yard, full of treasures that made people marvel.
"The Prime Minister really dotes on the Fifth Miss..." someone whispered to others.
Those who understand will know what this means.
A daughter who had lost her innocence and ruined her reputation would have been sent to a nunnery or died to prove her innocence in other families long ago. However, Liu Anyao was not abandoned by Prime Minister Liu and she was married off in a grand ceremony.
Although she was just marrying a merchant!
That is enough to prove her status in the Liu family.
"So Xiao Muheng has thrown away his dignity in order to gain wealth and status." The companion continued with a sneer.
The voice was so soft that no one could hear it in the busy front yard.
Otherwise, being kicked out would be a small matter, but offending Prime Minister Liu would be a big disaster.
No matter what everyone was thinking, the guests who came to the wedding banquet today were all in high spirits, with congratulations and compliments coming one after another, as if everyone had forgotten the embarrassment Liu Anyao had made earlier.
Liu Anyao's yard was also bustling with activity.
No matter if they were good friends with her or just acquaintances, they all gathered in the bridal room and praised her one after another. Everyone's face was filled with a smile of blessing, but only they themselves knew how much disdain they had in their hearts.
Liu Anyao, standing in front of the bronze mirror, was wearing a dazzling red wedding dress. The phoenix crown on her head was inlaid with ninety-nine pearls. Her face was delicately made up, like the bright peach blossoms on the branches in March. Her two rows of long and thick eyelashes were trembling slightly, like the wings of a butterfly, revealing her exquisite beauty.
As the groom arrived outside with a loud voice, everyone started laughing...
Lu Xiang received the wedding invitation from the Xiao family, so he went to the Xiao family.
Although Xiao Muheng had made great achievements, he did not hold any official position, so there were not many guests in the mansion. Most of them were waiting for Liu Anyao to come from the Liu family, and then come together to watch the wedding ceremony.
Although the two houses are not on the same street, they are not far apart.
Lu Xiang was brought by a maid to the guest pavilion and sat down. Many ladies and young ladies were already sitting in the pavilion. When they saw Lu Xiang, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh, Miss Lu San is here, come and sit down." One of the ladies waved at Lu Xiang enthusiastically.
Lu Xiang gave her a polite smile and then sat down in the empty seat next to her.
Many people gathered around her and started to greet her.
Who says this girl is the favorite of the Queen? In terms of nobility, she is no less honorable than Liu Anyao.
People who didn't know Lu Xiang's identity also began to inquire, and after learning the reason, they became enthusiastic.
Girls of the same age kept praising her, as if they wanted to praise her to the fullest.
Xiao Xiao looked at the ladies who had been praising her and now they all surrounded Lu Xiang, and her face suddenly turned gloomy.
Who is this person? How could he steal her limelight like this?
She is obviously the hostess, and her sister-in-law is the legitimate daughter of the prime minister. Are those people blind?
Xiao Xiao pulled a young lady over and asked with a smile, "Miss Qian, who is Miss Lu San?"
Miss Qian said, "She is Lu Xiang, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Works. She is very much loved by the Queen and often comes to the palace to accompany the Queen. She is rarely seen socializing and it is very rare to see her. I didn't expect her to come to the Xiao Mansion's wedding banquet. You are really honored."
The daughter of the Minister of Works?
Isn’t she Lu Mingzhu’s sister!
