The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

The Qi family's main house felt a little awkward and deserted.

Seeing that Lin Ruoxue was about to be brought back, it should have been the time for the entire Qi family to gather together, but until now, the old lady of the Qi family and several uncles and other important figures had not shown up.

The scene that should have been lively and celebratory was now somewhat cold.

The guests nearby could no longer suppress their doubts and began to whisper.

"What's going on? Why hasn't the old lady come yet? It's a big deal that my grandmother isn't here on the wedding day."

"Yes, is there any conflict between the eldest wife and the old lady?"

Some gossipers have already started to talk quietly, and the guests' eyes are gleaming with gossip.

Madam Qi's family members and some relatives of the Tan family could not help but ask Madam Qi: "Sister, what's going on? Why haven't we seen the old lady and the uncles yet? This is a happy day, how can the elders be missing?"

Mrs. Qi's inner anxiety also reached its peak.

She signaled to the servant beside her to go to the old lady's yard to ask for help. Five groups of people had already gone there, but still no response.

The guests talked about this matter and the voices of discussion became louder and more unpleasant.

"I heard that the eldest branch of the Qi family was disrespectful to the old lady, so the old lady didn't want to show up."

"I've heard that too. It seems that the eldest wife has become more and more arrogant in recent years. Even the old lady can't control her."

"If this continues, won't the Qi family's family tradition be ruined? The eldest wife is too much, she even dares to disrespect the elders!"

Seeing this, Madam Tan took the initiative to say, "How about I ask Madam Qi to come? After all, we are relatives, and she should give us this little face."

Mrs. Qi looked up at her mother, knowing that she was helping her out, but deep down she still didn't want to put her mother in a difficult position.

Madam Qi was deliberately not giving face to the eldest wife. If my mother rashly went to ask someone to help, it would probably only make things more embarrassing.

"Mother, please don't worry about me." Mrs. Qi's tone was helpless, "The old lady doesn't want to come, I'm afraid that if you go, nothing good will happen."

Seeing her daughter's distressed expression, Madam Tan sighed and said softly, "Silly child, if Madam Qi really doesn't show up in this situation, I'm afraid your eldest wife will have a harder time in the Qi family in the future. If even your grandmother is not present at this important wedding, you will have to endure the days when people poke your back."

Mrs. Qi's heart was in a mess, and every word her mother said pierced her heart.

If Old Madam Qi really doesn't attend today, then no matter how grand the wedding is, their eldest wife will become a laughing stock.

She clenched her fists and wondered how to respond.

However, before she could come up with a solution, there was a commotion outside.

"Madam! Madam!" A servant hurried in, looking excited and speaking with joy in his tone, "The Crown Prince and Master Gu are here!"

When Mrs. Qi heard this, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face, which then turned into surprise.

The prince actually came in person, which was undoubtedly great news.

With the support of the crown prince, no one would dare to say anything even if Madam Qi was not present at the wedding!

The arrival of the prince was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The originally deserted atmosphere immediately became lively, and the guests' attitudes began to change.

The prince personally attended the wedding banquet and was even willing to serve as a witness for Qi Zeshen. This was undoubtedly a great recognition and honor for the Qi family's eldest wife.

How many families in the entire capital can afford to have the prince attend their wedding banquet?

Especially being a witness is a symbol of identity and status.

The guests were talking in low voices, their voices filled with shock and admiration: "This eldest son and his wife are really capable, to be valued so highly by the Crown Prince!"

"Ah, the eldest branch of the Qi family is indeed extraordinary. Old Madam Qi is really embarrassed that she is not coming today."

"No matter how great the hatred is, it's not so unreasonable that you won't even attend your grandson's wedding banquet."

The voices of discussion gradually became louder, and those who had previously been sarcastic changed their tune and scolded Madam Qi and the people from the other families.

Some people shook their heads and sighed, while others were secretly glad that they had not offended the eldest branch of the Qi family too early.

For a moment, people's sympathy and admiration for the first wife began to prevail.

After a while, the news that the prince was looking for a marriage partner for Qi Zeshen spread. After hearing the news, people from several branches of the Qi family rushed over, each of them coming to the main house with a smile on their face.

Marquis Yongliang also hurried over with an awkward smile. Although he had some complaints about the first wife, he had to come and save the situation at this moment.

When he arrived, he walked quickly towards the prince, wanting to take the initiative to talk to him and get closer to him.

He smiled and said respectfully: "Your Highness the Crown Prince's presence today is truly a great honor for the Qi family."

However, the prince simply glanced at him indifferently as a response, then turned around and continued chatting and laughing with Gu Nanyuan and others.

At that moment, the smile on Yongliang Hou's face froze. He felt extremely embarrassed, but he could only force himself to remain calm and grit his teeth secretly.

With the blessing of the prince, the atmosphere of Qi Zeshen's wedding was pushed to a climax.

Guests from all over the world congratulated and blessed the father and son of the first wife, and the original indifference had long disappeared.

The wedding ended perfectly.

According to etiquette, Qi Zeshen and Lin Ruoxue returned home three days later.

The Lin family had made preparations early to welcome the arrival of the newlyweds.

Lin Ruoxuan stood in the yard waiting early in the morning, her heart full of anticipation.

Lin Ruoqiao stood beside her, waiting for Lin Ruoxue to come back.

Qi Zeshen and Lin Ruoxue's carriage stopped steadily in front of the yard, and the Lin family came out to greet them.

As soon as Lin Ruoxuan saw Lin Ruoxue getting off the carriage, she immediately went to greet her, smiling with curved eyebrows and eyes: "Big sister, you're back!"

Lin Ruoxue was wearing a red dress, her face filled with the joy of a newlywed.

When she saw her sisters, she couldn't help but smile gently.

Qi Zeshen followed closely behind with a faint smile on his face, looking very happy.

"Sister, brother-in-law." Lin Ruoxuan mischievously changed the subject, her voice so sweet that it made people's hearts soften, "We have been waiting for you."

Hearing the title "brother-in-law", Qi Zeshen was slightly startled, then his smile deepened, and he was very happy with this new identity.

He nodded to Lin Ruoxuan, then took a few exquisite small boxes from his attendant and handed them to Lin Ruoxuan and the other girls.

"This is a gift prepared for you girls. It's not something expensive, but I hope you like it." Qi Zeshen's voice was gentle.

Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao took the gifts happily and couldn't wait to open them.
