Cheng Zhizhi clearly felt that her sister shouldn't be so calm at this crucial moment.
She took the embroidery from Cheng Taotao's hands and said anxiously, "What's the difference? Aren't they all the same? Children grow so fast, and you've made so much that you haven't even worn yet. Besides, do you even know what day it is today, sister?"
Hearing the sounds of gongs and drums outside, Cheng Taotao nodded. "Of course I know what day it is. It's Miss Li getting married, right?"
Cheng Zhizhi angrily clutched her handkerchief, "Isn't it that bitch! I had someone investigate her before, and it turns out that Miss Li is just from a better background; she's not even as pretty as us two sisters."
This was not Cheng Zhizhi boasting, but the truth of the matter.
However, Li Fangfang had plenty of money to dress up, so overall she was beautiful, but not stunning.
Cheng Taotao thought about it with mixed feelings. If this Miss Li were to enter the family, Cheng Fang would treat the two sisters even more coldly than before.
Moreover, since they were the first to give birth to the eldest son of the Cheng family, this Miss Li, as the matriarch, might not necessarily treat them well.
Adults can tolerate it, but what about children?
Cheng Taotao glanced at her child in the cradle, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.
"Then what do we do?" She looked at her sister in confusion. "And you saw what the old lady was like. She sent so many people over today, it's obvious she's afraid we'll go to the front hall."
This old lady is really something; in short, she's not someone to be trifled with.
Cheng Zhizhi was also quite troubled. She paced back and forth a few steps. After thinking for a long time, she finally came up with a good idea.
"Right, how about we do this..."
The front hall was bustling with activity. Cheng Fang was dressed in a bright red wedding gown and looked quite presentable.
His colleagues also came to support him today, surrounding Cheng Fang and making a fuss.
"Brother Cheng, you're really lucky with the ladies! You're going to win the heart of your beauty tonight." The man spoke with a wicked grin, and everyone clearly understood his implication.
"Such a beautiful day and scenery, we should definitely enjoy it."
These guys were used to hanging out with Cheng Fang in the red-light district, telling dirty jokes. Even though today was an important occasion, they still couldn't control their words.
If Li Fangfang hadn't had a bridal veil covering her head, she probably would have already crawled into a hole and disappeared.
In broad daylight, what are you even talking about?
Master Cheng's face was also ashen as he looked at Cheng Fang and his group of playboys with great displeasure.
Several of them were sons of his old business associates, and he couldn't very well refuse on such a joyous occasion.
Mr. Cheng looked at Mrs. Cheng with displeasure, his eyes filled with anger.
Look at the son you raised! He's utterly disgraceful and a complete disgrace!
Madam Cheng was already sweating profusely; these people had indeed gone too far with their words.
Moreover, there are some of the master's old friends in the hall now.
Madam Cheng gave the matchmaker a wink, signaling her to hurry up.
The matchmaker, quick-witted, began reciting her words faster.
Finally, she called out: "The ceremony is complete. Escort them to the bridal chamber." The matchmaker finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Her task was finally completed; now she just had to go down and wait for her reward.
But just then, a soft, sobbing female voice came from outside.
"Madam, something terrible has happened!"
On such a joyous day, they actually spoke ill of her. Madam Cheng frowned in anger, her mind racing.
She scolded the maid beside her, "Quickly stop them and take them away."
The maids and servants in Madam Cheng's room all rushed out to try and stop the visitor from leaving.
But Cheng Zhizhi seemed to have anticipated this, and she cried her heart out. When she saw Cheng Fang again, it was as if she had seen a savior.
"Young Master Cheng, something terrible has happened to the young master! You must quickly fetch a doctor to save him."
Cheng Fang's face paled, and he blurted out, "What happened to Tianrui!"
Once the words were out of his mouth, Cheng realized there was no room for negotiation.
Sure enough, when the guests in the front hall heard about the young master of the Cheng family, they seemed to smell a strong scent of gossip.
Good heavens, the eldest son of the Cheng family already has a child?
Is this woman the mother of the child? She's alright looking, but her demeanor is too stingy.
But when did all this happen? I haven't heard anything about the Cheng family having a son.
In a very short time, everyone made wild guesses and came up with several versions of the story.
Madam Cheng and Master Cheng sat at the head of the table with livid faces, looking as if they wanted to drag Cheng Zhizhi away and beat her to death.
That wretched woman did this on purpose, didn't she! Looks like her days of pampered luxury are over!
