Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Two days later, Tan Qianhuan finished dealing with all matters and sent a message to Ran Qianxi.

'Three days later, at 3 pm, see you in front of the city gate, Huan.'

His signature was not his full name, and the word "godfather" was not included. If this word "Huan" was given to a person with a delicate mind, they would naturally notice the difference in feelings, but she did not care about the details.

"Haha, I thought my foster father had forgotten about me~"

"What are you laughing at, young lady?"

Ran Qianxi was stunned and didn't realize that she was smiling at all.

"I laughed?"

"Yes, your smile is exactly the same as when you saw Yu Anhou."

Ran Qianxi was shocked. What kind of lewd words was she saying?

"What? Who are you talking about?"

"Meet Marquis An..."

"Oh my god, I actually smiled when I saw him? Isn't my feeling too obvious..."

Anyone can see what she is thinking, but she is so hot and cold that no one dares to judge.

"Oh, by the way, did you send the hairpin to Cheng Mo?"

"It's delivered, miss, don't worry."

"That's good. Did he say anything?"

"He said he was sorry."

"Pfft, hahahahaha, he still knows how to apologize to me."

Hearing her smirk, Sui Xue couldn't help but worry that she was too sad.

"Miss, are you okay..."

"It's okay. When is he getting married?"

"Tomorrow..."

Ran Qianxi raised the corner of her mouth. Cheng Mo must have sent an invitation to Ran Yuelian, so she had a legitimate reason to go.

"Haha, we're going to wear bright red tomorrow. You want to wear it too, right?"

"Okay, I'll wear it with the lady!"

Ran Qianxi rummaged through the boxes and drawers and pulled out a phoenix coronet and bridal robe inlaid with gems from the cupboard. It was a gorgeous gift from the empress dowager herself.

"Wear this tomorrow and disgust them."

The next day—

The Cheng Mansion was decorated with red lights that swayed wildly in the wind. The big red wedding stickers were dazzling. All who came and went were high-ranking officials of the imperial court. Some gave gifts, some flattered them.

The Dali Temple had a special status in the court, and Cheng Mo was the top scholar, so the wedding was considered grand and elegant.

Cheng Mo was saved by Ran Qianxi when he was down and out, and later met Ran Yuelian who helped him pass the exam smoothly. Although he was very knowledgeable and the youngest top scholar, it would have been in vain without Ran Yuelian's keen eye for talent. Therefore, he was very grateful to the Ran family and had great respect for Ran Yuelian.

"Congratulations, Master Cheng."

"No, no, please come in."

Cheng Mo was welcoming guests at the door, his wedding gown making him look handsome.

He is about to become another woman's husband, take care of her and love her, and share the same bed and grave with her.

Ran Qianxi strode leisurely with the wedding gift in her hand, and there was an uproar all around.

The phoenix coronet and bridal robe were so elegant and luxurious that even the bride's wedding dress was not as elegant as hers.

The gift from the Queen Mother must be incomparable to ordinary things. If she takes off the pearl from her waist, she can host ten grand wedding banquets.

She had her hair in a flying bun, the green phoenix flower on her forehead was novel and refined, the tasseled gold hairpins were gently hanging down, and with her breathtakingly charming face, she stood out at the wedding banquet.

Her eyes were full of disdain and provocation, and Cheng Mo stared at her in a daze again.

"Congratulations, Master Cheng."

When she speaks, even if her emotions are complicated, you have to be polite.

"Happy together."

Ran Qianxi smiled faintly, and Sui Xue opened the wooden box.

"I will give you a Guanyin statue to bless you so that you can have children and grandchildren."

Cheng Mo frowned, she was obviously looking for trouble.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you talking? Oh my... you didn't even bow... you don't like it? Or you don't welcome me?"

He hesitantly raised his hand and bowed.

"It is a great honor for the Cheng Mansion to have Second Miss Ran come to it."

Looking at his ugly expression, Ran Qianxi felt only happy.

"Hahaha, you are so obedient. I am in a good mood."

"By the way, what do you think of my clothes? Do you think they are important enough?"

His expression was still ugly, and he probably still didn't understand why he wanted to marry his childhood sweetheart.

"nice."

Ran Qianxi glanced at him and strode into the inner hall.

All the young men in the room bowed respectfully. The phoenix coronet and bridal robe represented the empress dowager behind her.

The wedding ceremony began. Seeing Cheng Mo getting married with another woman, Ran Qianxi felt sour and contemptuous. She didn't know what it meant to be unwilling.

"Tsk, so shabby, this wedding dress is too simple."

Ran Yuelian knew about his daughter and Cheng Mo, but never intervened.

When he was sent to the bridal chamber, he passed by Ran Qianxi, paused for a moment and said nothing.

Maybe he was good at weighing the pros and cons. She was not suitable to be a wife in the first place, but now it was okay. It was not the last time he made the same mistake again and it was out of control.

Xu Yuanchao didn't want to come at first, but when he learned that Ran Qianxi would be there, he made an unprecedented move to attend the wedding of a second-rank official.

"Oh, Yu Anhou, what a rare guest."

When the Left Vice Minister of Rites saw him, he was even more attentive than Cheng Mo, as if it was his wedding.

At the sound of "Marquis Yu'an", all eyes turned to him, and everyone stood up with a flattering look on their faces.

"Marquis Yu'an, how are you these days..."

"Oh, Lord Yu'an, I am honored to be here."

"Meeting An Hou, he is still as elegant as ever..."

The guests were all flattering the emperor, and some even ordered the servants to go back home to get gifts.

Xu Yuanchao was too lazy to flatter these fence-sitters, so he rarely attended any banquets.

After his colleagues greeted him one by one, Ran Yuelian also stood up.

"Your humble servant greets Marquis Yu An."

Almost everyone greeted Xu Yuanchao, but he only responded to Ran Yuelian.

"Be polite."

Ran Qianxi was enjoying the delicious chicken leg. The three words "Yu An Hou" seemed very common to her, but many young ladies of officials became shy.

"Sui Xue, I'll give you a chicken drumstick, ok~"

Sui Xue felt a little awkward standing behind her because her lady seemed too arrogant.

"Second Miss~"

"Tsk, take it."

Sui Xue awkwardly took the chicken leg and hid it behind her. After all, her grandfather was still standing, and it would be impolite for her to eat the chicken leg.

"Xi'er, get up and meet Marquis Yu'an."

Ran Qianxi put down the roast chicken, stood up, and bowed properly.

"My daughter has met Marquis Yu An."

Looking at Ran Qianxi, who was completely different from her private self, Xu Yuanchao couldn't help but smile.

"Don't do this. I'm not used to it."

Ran Qianxi raised her eyebrows. It seemed that he was used to her kissing and hugging him.

"Then you want to eat a chicken drumstick?"

After saying that, he broke off a roasted chicken leg for him and started muttering to himself.

"Dean Ran, isn't this a little bit unceremonious of the Second Miss?"

I don’t know which fool who is not afraid of death stood up and said this.

"Haha, you know what? Did he talk to you? And he even brought my dad along to mock you."

"you..."

Ran Qianxi smiled smugly and retaliated.

"My lord, your daughter is really talkative. You must be worried about her a lot."
