Shen Lan finally returned to her own courtyard under the gentle persuasion of Old Lady Shen.
"Go and call the second lady." Old Lady Shen ordered.
Although she knew that it was definitely Shen Lan's fault, the Second Lady could not give up. Shen Ke's wedding was coming soon. Even if she didn't like Liu Jin'er, she still had to have the proper ceremony for the wedding of the young master of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion.
Mu Jin responded and quickly went to find the second wife.
The Second Lady was just speaking out of anger at the time and didn't really mean to quit.
I didn’t expect that Shen Lan actually went to complain to the old lady.
The Second Madam also looked unhappy when she followed Mu Jin in. "Mother, why did you call your daughter-in-law here?"
"That's right. Lan'er is also concerned about her fourth brother's marriage. As the elder, you should not bother with a junior like her. You still have to make the necessary preparations." The old lady did not beat around the bush and stated her intention directly.
The Second Madam was furious when she heard the slightly blaming tone, "Mother, when Chen Ke got married, my daughter-in-law followed the rules of the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion completely.
Lan'er complains about things being inferior, but those things were not bought by my daughter-in-law. They were all used by Liu when she was in charge. No one complained about them back then."
When the Second Madam heard the Old Madam say this, which completely negated all the hard work she had put in during this period, she couldn't help but say what she had to say.
No one here is a fool, and she didn't embezzle any money from it, so what is she afraid of?
At this moment, she was a little envious of Chen Nian and Xia Tian. The two of them went to Linzhou and stayed away from this abnormal family.
She now hopes that her second master can work hard and get an official position outside the capital, so that her family can follow him and they won't have to get angry with these annoying people in this mansion.
The old lady didn't expect her second daughter-in-law to say it directly, and she immediately felt embarrassed. "I know you've been working hard recently. Lan'er is still young, so don't take it to heart."
The old lady said something to comfort her and sent the second lady out.
The angry second wife stomped her feet at the door before leaving angrily.
If there really is no one left, she really wants to quit now.
The next day, Chen Lan didn't come, but Chen Ke came again. He said he was worried and wanted to take a look at the process list in person, which made the second wife very angry again.
When Mr. Shen came back in the evening, he only complained, "Whoever wants to be the head of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion can be the head of the family. I can't be the head of the family anymore."
Mr. Shen Er did not expect that his wife, who always had a good temper, would have a day when she didn't want to work.
"What's wrong? What is Chen Ke dissatisfied with?" Mr. Shen was also helpless. His nephew's personality had become unpredictable since Liu was exiled.
Not only does he lock himself up at home all day long, but when it comes to getting married, he doesn't listen to his family's advice at all and just does whatever he wants.
"Not only Chen Ke, but also Chen Lan. These two siblings are always looking for trouble. I was busy preparing for Chen Ke's wedding, but they didn't do anything and just kept finding fault."
The second wife became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and she almost hated to stop caring.
After Chen Ke gets married, Chen Lan will also get married, and then it will be her business again.
This makes me worried just thinking about it!
No matter how angry the Second Madam was, she still had to take care of what she was supposed to do. However, she would not put her heart into things that she didn't want to put her heart into. It was enough to save face.
Three days passed in a flash, and soon it was the day for Chen Ke to get married.
Contrary to his usual behavior, Chen Ke got himself dressed early in the morning and rode a tall horse to personally meet Liu Jiner.
Originally, the Liu family was no longer the Lingxiu Marquis's Mansion, and the Wu'an Marquis wanted to cancel the engagement, but Chen Ke disagreed.
In the end, there was no choice but to agree under Shen Ke's insistence.
It's just that I still don't like it in my heart.
I guess no one in the mansion would have thought that the usually unreliable Fourth Young Master would actually be such a responsible person.
Even though Liu Jin'er's status was no longer worthy of him, he insisted on marrying her.
In the eyes of the people who did not know the reason, Chen Ke's action made him look like a responsible good man.
When the Second Madam heard this, she snorted in disdain. She didn't know what evil thing Chen Ke was planning.
When it was almost noon at the auspicious time, the wedding procession arrived. Then they went to the hall to worship, escort the bride to the bridal chamber, entertain the guests, etc. It was late at night when the second wife finished everything.
Thinking that this matter is finally over!
As a result, not long after she lay down, the servant came to look for the second wife.
"Second Madam, something bad has happened in the Fourth Young Master's yard!"
Both Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen were awakened, “What happened?”
Mr. Shen Erye put on his clothes and came out and asked.
It’s the middle of the night, and it’s someone’s wedding night. What could go wrong?
"Second Master, Second Madam, the Old Madam and the Marquis want you to come over."
The servant who came to call for help did not say what had happened. After notifying everyone, he hurried away.
It seemed as if he was afraid that the two would ask the reason again.
The second wife frowned, not knowing how to react for a long time.
Thinking that these two people are really troublesome, they can't even let her have peace in the bridal chamber. She doesn't want to be her husband for even a day longer.
The Second Master had no choice but to get up, put on his clothes, and casually wipe his face with cold water. The Second Madam did the same, and the two of them went to Chen Ke's yard in confusion.
As soon as I entered the gate of the yard, I saw a large group of people gathered in the yard, and the lanterns illuminated the yard.
The Second Master and the Second Mistress came forward to greet the Old Madam and Marquis Wu'an.
"Mother, brother, what happened?" Master Shen asked first.
Also standing beside him were Third Master Shen and Third Madam Shen.
The two of them looked like they had just been woken up from their beds, both looking confused.
"Ke'er and his wife were poisoned." The old lady replied with a sullen face.
She was invited here not long after she fell asleep, and the displeasure on her face was unconcealable.
"Poisoned?" Mr. Shen asked in disbelief, "Why would he be poisoned?"
"I want to know, too!" The old lady glanced at the second lady with an unsure expression. "Doctor Cao said the wedding wine was poisoned."
The second wife finally understood what it meant to sit at home and have the pot fall from the sky.
It was true that she prepared the wedding wine, but she didn't poison it!
Is this directed at me?
The Second Master was still a little confused. "Who would poison the wedding wine? And why would they poison Chen Ke and his wife?"
It's not like Shen Nian is here. It's understandable that the two of them poisoned each other because of a grudge. There's no one in this mansion who has a grudge against Shen Ke and his wife, right?
Who has nothing better to do than poison them?
"How are Chen Ke and his wife?" The second master thought that after all, he was his own nephew, so he should show some concern when something happened to him.
Although he doesn't like this nephew either!
"The person is fine and has been rescued." Marquis Wu'an finally spoke.
"That's good!" The second master also breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the old lady and his eldest brother looking at his wife, he finally realized, "Are you suspecting his second aunt?"
