The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside

The bride and groom were still the most eye-catching during the rehearsal. Although Shen Xuening had not yet put on makeup and dressed up, she was still stunningly beautiful, shining like a pearl.

At this moment, everyone's attention is focused on the bride and groom, who are also very focused. They have been looking forward to the wedding for a long time and are trying their best to make it perfect.

Shen Yingying stared intently at the two of them, and whispered to Qin Yaoyao beside her, "Sister Yaoyao, don't you think my sister and your cousin are a perfect match?"

Qin Yaoyao nodded firmly: "I've always been so certain. No one else could have been as perfect as they are now."

Shen Yingying echoed, "Is this a destiny cultivated over three lifetimes?"

Qin Yaoyao couldn't help but smile: "I think so."

Han Yifei tugged at Shen Baohong's sleeve: "Can our wedding be this perfect too?"

Shen Baohong assured him, "I'll leave everything about the wedding to you."

Han Yifei gave Shen Baohong an approving look: "You're quite smart."

Shen Baohong reached out and grasped Han Yifei's hand: "If I weren't smart, could I find such a good girlfriend?"

Han Yifei felt a surge of sweetness in her heart, and she couldn't help but look forward to her wedding with Shen Baohong. Could they become an enviable couple like Xue Ning and Qin Zizhou?

Seeing this scene, Zhang Qianwen felt a pang of sadness. She had thought she would be getting a wedding, but instead she was getting a breakup. When would happiness come to her?

Lin Yanfei tilted his head slightly towards Zhou Manjun: "Manjun, how about we get married too?"

Zhou Manjun gave Lin Yanfei a look: "Are you sure you want to propose like this?"

Lin Yanfei quickly changed his tune: "Of course not, I was just testing the waters. Don't worry, I'm definitely no worse than Zizhou."

Zhou Manjun smiled contentedly: "Our wedding doesn't need to be compared with others; as long as we are happy, that's enough."

Lin Yanfei nodded: "I'll listen to you."

At this moment, looking at the bride and groom, everyone had different expressions: some were envious, some were expectant, some were happy... In short, everyone hoped that they could be happy.

The rehearsal was conducted three times. The first time was for familiarization, the second time for confirmation, and the third time was to ensure there were no mistakes. Fortunately, everyone worked hard and remembered what they were supposed to do and say, and the rehearsal ended perfectly.

After the rehearsal, everyone headed towards the restaurant.

The Qin family booked the entire classical manor for half a month. During this time, everyone can eat and play as they please and enjoy all the services offered by the manor. Booking this manor cost several million yuan; they really are rich and capricious.

"Xue Ning, are you tired?" Qin Zizhou asked with concern, holding Shen Xue Ning's hand.

"I'm so tired, my neck is sore. How about you?" Shen Xuening looked at Qin Zizhou. This guy not only had to deal with the wedding, but also had to deal with company matters from time to time. He was even more tired than her.

"Men don't complain about being tired," Qin Zizhou said stubbornly.

"I'll give you a shoulder massage when we get back tonight." Shen Xuening saw the weariness in Qin Zizhou's eyes. She truly loved this man and felt sorry for him.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, my wife." Qin Zizhou felt a sweet warmth in his heart. It was indeed different having a wife; there was always someone caring for him.

"Sweet talker." Shen Xuening curled her lips.

Over here, Grandpa Qin asked Qin Dianwen, who was standing beside him, "Your cousin is already married, when are you getting married?"

"I'm not in a hurry." A face appeared in Qin Dianwen's mind, but now was not the time to talk about it, so he denied it.

"There's no rush. You'll be twenty-five after the New Year. Do you want to wait until you're old to get married?" Old Master Qin feigned displeasure.

Madam Qin smiled and patted Qin Dianwen on the shoulder: "Dianwen, if you start dating now, it will be just right to get married in a year or two."

Qin Dianwen put one arm around Old Madam Qin's shoulder and said reassuringly, "Grandma, I know, don't worry, I'm already trying my best to find it."

"That's good." Old Madam Qin then let him off the hook.

"I'll give you a year. If you still can't find someone, then we'll have to arrange a marriage." Old Master Qin issued his final ultimatum.

"Grandpa, this isn't fair," Qin Dianwen protested. "I'm still so young, do you need to rush me like this? Besides, how do you know I won't find someone? What if my destined partner is yet to come?"

"If you don't step up, the family must. You'd better figure it out yourself." After saying that, Old Master Qin quickened his pace and walked forward.

Qin Dianwen: "..."

Why do elders always urge their children to get married? Is this pressure to marry contagious?

Shen Dong sensed something was wrong with Liu Juan. He looked at her and noticed her eyes were a little red: "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"

Liu Juan couldn't help but want to cover Shen Dong's mouth: "No one is bullying me, don't make a fuss."

Shen Dong asked, puzzled, "Then why are you crying?"

Liu Juan glanced at Shen Dong and said, "Don't you understand what it means to be reluctant to part with something?"

Shen Dong said, "I know, but marriage is a good thing, and we can still see Xue Ning, it's not like we'll never see her again, so there's no need for this." Men really are born unable to empathize with women.

Liu Juan gently nudged Shen Dong: "Stop talking, you wouldn't understand how I feel."

Shen Dong pulled Liu Juan aside: "Wouldn't you understand once you explained it to me?"

"I've told you, do you understand?" Liu Juan didn't want to talk to Shen Dong anymore. This guy was always cheerful and didn't understand a mother's feelings at all.

"Okay, okay, I don't understand, but I can share the burden with you." Shen Dong still dotes on his wife.

"I'm fine now." Liu Juan's attention had been diverted by Shen Dong's meddling, and she felt much better. "Come on, let's go eat. That braised rice is really good. I'll take you there."

Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen have already started eating. They sat down in the restaurant, and a waiter came to let them order. Since they are elderly, the waiter let them order first.

At first, they all waited for everyone to eat together, but everyone had different tastes, so they agreed to eat separately, and the elderly couple also prepared to enjoy some time alone together.

Grandma Shen looked at the antique and elegant restaurant and asked, "Old man, do you like it here?"

Grandpa Shen was puzzled, but he still replied, "Of course I like it. How could I not like such a wonderful place? Don't you like it?"

"I love it!" Grandma Shen exclaimed. "Luckily we have a wonderful granddaughter, otherwise we would never have the chance to eat at a place like this in our entire lives."

"Yes, our family used to be so poor, but things are much better now." Grandpa Shen glanced around, feeling that everything looked expensive.

"I remember in the beginning, we had to carefully budget even for a single meat meal," Grandma Shen recalled with a heavy heart.

Grandpa Shen patted Grandma Shen on the back: "Alright, let's not think about the past. In the end, it's because I'm incompetent. If I could do something, I wouldn't let you suffer with me."

"Alright, alright, how did we get onto this topic?" Grandma Shen didn't want to make Grandpa Shen feel guilty, so she quickly changed the subject. "Shall we go see a performance later?"

Grandpa Shen readily agreed: "Sure, I'm busy every day when I'm at home, and now I rarely have any free time."

Other relatives and friends were eating and talking, and the scene was harmonious and joyful.

……

The wedding is in progress.

Very early, as early as three in the morning, Shen Xuening and Qin Zizhou got up. The bride and groom got up, took a bath, changed clothes and put on makeup. From the moment they got up, there were people in charge of preparing for them. All of this was arranged by Qin's mother. She really prepared them to be exquisite down to every single strand of hair.

Shen Xuening handed Qin Zizhou a cup of spiritual spring water: "Drink some water, it will make you feel more energetic."

"Mmm." Qin Zizhou, who had been feeling a bit drowsy, was wide awake after drinking the water, becoming energetic and even his skin seemed to glow. "Xue Ning, this water is delicious, where did you buy it?"

Shen Xuening casually said, "I just bought some mineral water at a store. Isn't it delicious?"

Qin Zizhou praised, "It tastes good, better than any water I've ever had. It tastes somewhat like the hangover cure you gave me."

Shen Xuening calmly said, "I put the hangover cure in this water."

Qin Zizhou nodded: "Oh, I see."

Just then, there was a knock on their door, followed by a staff member's voice: "Mr. Qin, Ms. Shen, are you awake?"

Qin Zizhou's clear voice replied, "You're awake. Come in."

The two lived in the villa that Qin's mother bought for Shen Xuening. Shen's grandparents, Liu Juan, Shen Dong, Shen Yingying, and Shen Wenxu also lived there, while the others lived in a hotel. This house was considered Shen Xuening's home, and she got married from here.

Not long after Shen Xuening and Qin Zizhou got up, the others also got up.

As Shen Xuening's immediate family members, Qin's mother specially arranged for them to dress up carefully, including clothes and makeup artists, to avoid losing face. Such a large family would become a laughing stock in high society if they were to lose face, which was absolutely unacceptable.

They didn't understand much, but they were very obedient, which was one of the reasons why Qin's mother liked them.

Qin's mother barely slept all night; she was too excited to fall asleep.

Mr. Qin couldn't help but say, "I think you're even more excited than we were when we got married."

Qin's mother said, "Of course! I only have one son, and now that my only son is getting married, how can I, as his mother, remain calm?"

Mr. Qin couldn't help but chuckle: "Now that you mention it, it seems quite reasonable."

Qin's mother gave Qin's father a threatening look: "What, don't you care about them?"

Mr. Qin quickly replied, "Of course I care, but as a father, I can't interfere too much. Besides, my wife is so capable, I just need to keep an eye on things."

Qin's mother felt quite pleased with herself: "I'm getting up. I still have to take charge today."

“I’m up too. It wouldn’t be right for my wife to be busy while I’m still sleeping in.” Mr. Qin got up as well.

Qin's mother wasn't in a hurry to put on makeup yet. She quickly tidied herself up and then grabbed her walkie-talkie to make arrangements. As the person in charge of the wedding, everyone had to confirm things with her.

……

After getting dressed, Liu Juan went to the room where her dowry was kept, where everything was prepared for Shen Xuening.

Bedding: She prepared four sets of quilts, one for spring, one for summer, one for autumn, and one for winter, symbolizing "a lifetime" and good things coming in pairs. They were all red four-piece bedding sets with hand-embroidered patterns. The spring set featured forsythia, the summer set featured lotus flowers, the autumn set featured chrysanthemums, and the winter set featured winter plum blossoms. They were beautiful and festive.

The cotton used for the filling was grown by her and Shen Dong. They planted it together, harvested it, and then processed it. Apart from the necessary ones, everything else was prepared by the couple themselves.

Qin's mother used the best things for the two of them. As their mother, she wanted to give them the best, and these were the best bedding she could think of.

Dowry chest: A red chest used to hold dowry money, the bride's clothing, auspicious items, etc., delivered to the bridal chamber by the bride's brothers on the wedding day, symbolizing the bride's importance to the family.

The boxes are custom-made, red, embroidered with the character for "double happiness," and come in various sizes and shapes—dozens of them. We'll be using these boxes to store things in a little while.

Jewelry and ornaments: The various gold and jewelry gifts from the Qin family are displayed in a jewelry box. In addition to what they gave, Liu Juan also prepared a lot for Shen Xuening, symbolizing blessings and inheritance. These items will be displayed at the wedding.

With so many accessories, you could open a jewelry store.

Home appliances and furniture: such as washing machines, televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc., prepared according to the needs of the new house. These have already been prepared and placed in the new house. In addition, there are several property ownership certificates and several car keys. Liu Juan and Shen Dong cannot afford to buy a house in City A yet, so what is being displayed is the house and car that the Qin family gave to Shen Xuening.

Personal items: Toiletries (towels, toothbrushes, bath towels, etc.) should all be in pairs, symbolizing harmony.

"Dowry money": Emergency funds given by the bride's family and placed in the dowry chest, symbolizing financial support and protection.

"Offspring Bucket": A traditional dowry item consisting of a chamber pot, foot basin, and water bucket, filled with red dates, peanuts, longans, and red duck eggs, symbolizing "early birth of a son" and "many children, many blessings."

Auspicious dried fruits and lucky eggs: Red dates, peanuts, longans, and lotus seeds are often placed in dowry chests or "descendant buckets" to symbolize "early birth of a son," and lucky eggs also symbolize good fortune in childbirth.

Seeing Liu Juan counting money, Shen Yingying asked, "Mom, how much money are you planning to give to my sister?"

Liu Juan said, "No matter how much I put in, you put in the same amount as your sister, it's all the same."

Shen Yingying quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. I meant, do you need money? If you do, I can give you some."

Liu Juan said, "Keep your own money. I've already prepared the money for your sister."

Shen Yingying pursed her lips and smiled, "Mom, I heard from Dad that you're planning to give my sister a million, is that right?"

Liu Juan smiled helplessly: "Your dad has such a big mouth."

Shen Wenxu leaned closer and said in surprise, "Mom, you and Dad have made a lot of money these past few years. You've managed to come up with a million."

Liu Juan pushed Shen Wenxu's head away: "Your parents work so hard, isn't it only right that they earned a million?"

Shen Wenxu nodded earnestly: "That's true."

Liu Juan shooed them away: "Alright, you all go and prepare yourselves. Remember, you absolutely cannot embarrass your sister today, or you'll see how I deal with you when we get back."

"Okay, Mom." The two went back to their rooms.
