The woman became more and more animated as she spoke, unaware that an uninvited guest had arrived behind her—or rather, one of today's main characters—
Young Master Liu!
"Madam Zhou, please watch your tongue, or you'll suffer a terrible heart!"
Liu Yunfei was dressed in red with a golden hair crown, making him look both handsome and sharp, exuding a heroic aura.
Caught off guard by gossip, Madam Zhou turned her head stiffly, forcing a smile. But she was startled by the boy's insincere grin and quickly clutched her chest, saying that her chest hurt and she needed to go home to take medicine, so she didn't stay any longer.
"Hmph~"
Young Master Liu sneered and sent the man away with a look.
The other guests around him didn't react much to his arrogant attitude; they were already used to it.
Jiang Yue looked him up and down, smiled, and spoke softly:
"Young Master Liu, congratulations on your marriage!"
"Aunt Jiang~"
When Liu Yunfei saw the smile on Aunt Jiang's face, his arrogant demeanor turned into restraint, like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for his mother's scolding.
Mother?
It was such an unfamiliar title, but one he longed for.
"Brother Yunfei~"
Qingyun and Changjun spoke in unison, and the two stood up, bumping arms with each other one after the other.
The greetings from his friends made Liu Yunfei feel much more relaxed.
"When the food arrives, eat plenty; my chef is an excellent cook!"
Liu Yunfei composed himself and warmly greeted the three of them, acting very much like a host.
"must."
Jiang Yue nodded. She had never attended a banquet hosted by a wealthy family before.
"Don't worry, we're like family, I won't stand on ceremony!"
Qingyun raised an eyebrow, and after making the joke, asked in a low voice:
"Brother Yunfei, didn't you say you were mortal enemies with Lu Yingying? How could you marry her?"
"Well, it's a long story. I've been thinking, since she's a mortal enemy, it's easier to deal with her right under my nose. So I married her, that way I can teach her whatever I want to her in the future!"
Liu Yunfei's ears were burning. How should he reply? He decided to say, "My dear brother is still young and doesn't understand the feelings between men and women!"
"Brother Yunfei is right, that's how I'll marry my wife in the future!"
Qingyun listened attentively. Could a mortal enemy really be taught a lesson like this?
I understand, he'll do as he's done from now on!
Jiang Yue didn't want to listen, but the two people's voices were just the right volume for her to hear clearly.
She had forgotten most of the original plot. Could the female lead be Qingyun's mortal enemy?
Good heavens, Mr. Liu, please stop your jinxing!
"The auspicious time has arrived—"
A moment later, the table was almost full of people.
With a shout, everyone fell silent.
Cold dishes are served first, followed by meat dishes, and finally hot soups, with drinks following.
After the maids finished pouring the wine, firecrackers began to go off.
Next came the intertwining of red ribbons, and the bride entered...
"Bowing to Heaven and Earth~"
"Second bow to the parents~"
"Husband and wife bow to each other~"
"Send them into the bridal chamber—"
The ceremony was quick and seemed simplified, but it included everything that was necessary.
The bride, helped by her maids, was led to the bridal chamber. A middle-aged man, dressed in casual clothes and resembling Young Master Liu, led him to the first table to offer toasts...
"Magistrate Liu, please."
"Brother Liu, please~"
"Brother Liu~"
......
Jiang Yue was peeling and boiling shrimp. To be honest, since she transmigrated into the book, she had never seen a place that sold shrimp, let alone eaten them!
After peeling the shrimp shells, she placed the shrimp meat on a dish of vinegar before putting it in her mouth.
This familiar taste, it smells so good!
"Mom, these shrimp are huge! They're even bigger than the river shrimp in our village!"
Seeing his mother's quick and pleasing movements as she peeled shrimp, Qingyun picked up one himself and began peeling it in the same way.
"This looks like sea shrimp. Never mind the rest, eat more if you like it. Changjun, you eat some too."
Jiang Yue observed that while the feast wasn't exactly a feast of delicacies, it was certainly quite exquisite.
The county magistrate's monthly salary isn't that high!
Just then, a shadow fell overhead, followed by a hearty laugh:
"Qingyun, this must be your mother? You two really do look alike!"
Jiang Yue put down her chopsticks, stood up, lowered her eyes, and bowed, saying:
"Wu Jiangshi, a peasant woman, greets Your Excellency, the county magistrate."
"No need for formalities. Today is a family banquet, and you have taken care of my son for a period of time. There is no need to be reserved. Just treat it as the wedding of a younger member of your family and enjoy the feast."
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Liu smiled and offered a helping hand, indicating that the other party did not need to be so formal.
"Yes, yes, Aunt Jiang, my father is right. Please treat me as your junior and enjoy the feast."
Liu Yunfei leaned closer in a friendly tone to ease the atmosphere, facilitating the first interaction between his father and Aunt Jiang.
Jiang Yue then looked up and casually glanced at the county magistrate.
Hmm, he exudes righteousness and has wise eyes; he seems like a decent official.
This was the first time Magistrate Liu had seen the aunt his son had described as perfect. His first impression was that she was a very young woman. If his son hadn't said that she was a widow who had raised three sons and a daughter all by herself, he would never have believed it.
"Father? Father~ It's time for a toast."
Liu Yunfei noticed his father's momentary lapse in concentration, and with his "wicked plan" succeeding, he revealed a meaningful smile.
Changjun, observing everything from the sidelines, silently watched the magistrate without uttering a word.
Although Qingyun sensed Yunfei's ill intentions, she did not show it out of love and trust for her mother.
"Yes, thank you for attending my son's wedding banquet."
Magistrate Liu felt apologetic for his momentary lapse in attention and quickly raised his glass in a toast.
Jiang Yue and the others picked up their wine glasses, returned the greeting, and toasted each other before stopping.
The courtyard was bustling with activity, but in the bridal chamber in the backyard, the bride was filled with anxiety.
In less than a month, a tragedy struck the family.
The wedding dress she was wearing was originally planned to be embroidered and worn by the young master Wang...
But after her father was dismissed from his official post, the Wang family came directly to break off the engagement, and she was no longer the high and mighty Miss Lu!
The world is cold and indifferent.
Just when she thought she was going to go back to her hometown with her father to farm and become a village woman, Liu Shibo took her away and promised to let his son marry her!
A mix of surprise and panic washed over her; she wasn't sure if Liu Yunfei, her nemesis, had ever had any feelings for her!
Or was it because her uncle saw her pitiful state and couldn't bear to see her wandering in the countryside and becoming a village woman?
Is it that same nemesis who wants to humiliate her and openly bully her?
"Miss, please don't worry, the young master is not that kind of person."
Those involved are often blinded, while bystanders see things clearly. Xiao Lü was a maid who had grown up with her mistress since childhood, witnessing her and her husband bicker and fight from a young age…
But on which occasion did the son-in-law actually get serious?
There's one more thing, Miss, doesn't know.
When Miss was engaged to Young Master Wang, the groom rushed to the mansion, but was dismissed by the lady with a single sentence: "He doesn't even have an official title, how can he marry Yingying?"
Later, the young lady did get engaged.
A few months later, the son-in-law also passed the imperial examination and became a scholar!
She believed that the son-in-law liked the young lady, but the young lady might not have disliked the son-in-law!
Just then, the master was dismissed from his post, finally seeing the true colors of the Wang family, and at the same time, the son-in-law and daughter were able to reunite happily...
