My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

Perhaps it was because she was too tired recently, or perhaps it was because a stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, Lin Yulan slept very soundly.

When Xiaoqu gently called her up, it was already dawn.

Today, as a new bride, I should serve tea and this wedding veil——

Lin Yulan had just dressed up with Xiaoqu's help when Shao Xun came out of the wing room. The young marquis seemed a little grumpy and looked unhappy.

Lin Yulan didn't care whether he was happy or not, but etiquette should not be abandoned.

"Morning, Lord!"

"Well......"

Lin Yulan approached him and whispered, "My Lord, I'm afraid I have to trouble you with something. Look at that wedding veil..."

Shao Xun was stunned and almost forgot about this.

He cut his finger with the dagger he carried with him and smeared some on it casually, "Is that enough?"

"Enough, enough." Lin Yulan picked up the smooth veil, balled it up in her hands and rubbed it casually for a few times. Even though she had lived two lives, it was still a bit embarrassing to do such an embarrassing thing.

Lord Shao, who was usually carefree, felt a little uncomfortable. He coughed and said, "Get washed and dressed. Then follow me to the ancestral hall to pay respect to my parents."

Lin Yulan was stunned.

Logically speaking, they should first serve tea to the old lady in the Marquis' Mansion, and then open the ancestral hall to worship the late Marquis, the late Marquis' wife and all their ancestors.

But Shao Xun had to go to worship his parents first, which also showed his filial piety as a son.

Who can seriously argue with him about missing his deceased parents?

Besides, it's not surprising that he would do this given his personality.

Lin Yulan nodded and smiled: "My Lord, you are right. I should go and serve tea to my father-in-law and mother-in-law first."

After Shao Xun took Lin Yulan to kowtow and burn incense to his parents, the two went to the main hall of the Marquis' Mansion.

As the two stepped into the hall, they instantly received countless cold, unfriendly, and implicitly angry glances.

Old Lady Xie and others already knew that the two men went to pay homage to the late Marquis and his wife first. Naturally, Mrs. Fu and Mr. Shao would not miss the opportunity to accuse Shao Xun of being disrespectful to the old lady and having no manners.

Fu also implicated Lin Yulan, blaming her for being incompetent and unvirtuous, and not knowing how to persuade the Marquis.

The more Mrs. Xie listened, the angrier she became, and her face became as gloomy as ice.

Mrs. Fu glanced at the two of them and smiled, "Ah Xun and my niece are finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time! Ah Xun, you're still so unruly. You'll naturally go to the ancestral hall to worship your ancestors in a while. Why did you go there first? You've made me wait here for so long! This is unfilial!"

Shao Xun raised his eyelids and glanced at her, then smiled lazily and said, "Second Aunt, please let me go today and stop finding faults, right? Is it wrong for me to think about my parents in my heart? Do you have to nitpick about this with my deceased parents?"

"You!" Fu was embarrassed and turned to Lin Yulan to vent her anger. "Lin, you come from a scholarly family and should be well-educated and well-mannered. Why don't you try to persuade Xun and instead join him in making trouble? They say you should marry a virtuous woman. You are such a disappointment."

Lin Yulan knew very well that if Fu succeeded in showing off his power, it would inevitably cause the servants to look down on her, and she would have a hard time moving forward.

She raised her eyes and said softly, "Second Aunt, what you said is biased. The Marquis said this morning that he dreamed of my parents-in-law last night. He couldn't help but feel grateful for their kindness in giving birth to and raising him, and also felt sad that his parents were no longer around. That's why we went to pay respect to them first to fulfill the Marquis' filial piety and comfort their spirits in heaven. That's why we came late. Please forgive me, old lady, and please understand, Second Aunt."

Fu choked and glared at her fiercely.

She didn't believe a word of this nonsense!

Yes, this guy has a sharp tongue, she had experienced it last night.

Shao Xun did not expect Lin Yulan to return the favor to Fu Shi in a few words. He glanced at Fu Shi and said with a half-smile: "Madam is right, that's it! Second Aunt, do you want to know what my mother said to me in the dream? My mother said that Second Aunt worked really hard yesterday. It's hard for Second Aunt to work so hard and plan so carefully. She also said that she wanted to thank Second Aunt in person!"

Fu's heart skipped a beat: "Shut up!"

The former Marquis' wife, Mrs. An, has passed away. What does it mean to thank him personally? Who are you cursing?

Shao Xun said lazily, "Second Aunt, don't ask me, your wife, to advise and discipline me in the future. Didn't even Second Uncle and Second Aunt fail to discipline me over the years?"

This time, Master Shao couldn't sit still anymore and glared at him fiercely, "How dare you say that? Look at you, you don't look like a marquis at all!"

Shao Xun smiled and said, "Second Uncle, the Marquis is like me."

He doesn't need to be "like" because he is.

Mr. Shao was so angry that he had a heart attack.

Madam Shao, who was sitting on the throne like a bodhisattva, finally spoke, "Okay, let's serve tea first. Ah Xun, your second uncle and second aunt are doing this for your own good. You should behave yourself after you inherit the title, so as to avoid gossip. Now that you are married, you should concentrate on living a good life and not make trouble like before. Otherwise, no matter how many times you kowtow to your parents, they will not feel at ease. Lin, a virtuous wife brings less trouble to her husband, you should also pay more attention to your husband and take care of what you should take care of. If he doesn't listen, you come to me and I will talk to him!"

Lin Yulan bent her knees obediently: "Yes..."

Shao Xun sneered lightly, with a mocking look in his eyes.

The maid gently placed the kneeling pad in front of the old lady. Lin Yulan stood up, walked forward, knelt down, took the teacup, held it over her head with both hands and handed it forward: "Please have some tea, old lady."

Old Madam Shao took the teacup and took a sip, then motioned to the nanny beside her to present the gift.

In a palm-sized red lacquered box, a transparent jade bracelet shines brightly.

Lin Yulan quickly took it and thanked him respectfully.

Lin Yulan had seen countless good things in her previous life, and this bracelet could barely be considered top-grade.

Whether she likes it or not, as a grandmother, Mrs. Shao’s gift to her granddaughter-in-law, the marquis’ wife, cannot be too bad.

Otherwise, she would be the one making a fool of herself.

Lin Yulan met everyone one by one, treating them politely and appropriately, accepting the greeting gifts from the elders and giving gifts to the younger generations. Her appearance was neither eye-catching nor fault-free.

Fu's eyes were burning, and she wanted to find fault with her, but she couldn't find any.

Lin Yulan laughed secretly in her heart.

The rules of the rich and powerful are so complicated that if you follow them all, you won't be able to live well. It's enough to get by in daily life without being rude or making a fool of yourself. There is no point in learning the rules rigidly and strictly.

Therefore, many legitimate mothers of powerful and noble families, whenever they want to torture their concubine daughters, will ask the governess to teach them the rules strictly. They can even claim that it is for the good of the concubine daughters, but in fact they are just torturing them on purpose.

In her previous life, the wife of Duke Rong disliked her and Meng Mingchi in every way and was very picky and harsh. She suffered a lot just in learning the rules.

Later, no one could find any fault with her rules.
