The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

"okay."

"They are just two little girls. Even if you acknowledge them, they won't bring any more wealth to the Wu family."

"The son in Zhaodi's belly is the heir of the Wu family."

Wang was afraid that Wu Musheng would make a scene and Tong Huaqiong would drive them all away, so she tried to persuade him.

The more Wang persuaded him, the more excited Wu Musheng became. He raised his leg and walked towards Master Su and the two children.

In less than a cup of tea, Wu Musheng came back dejected.

Master Su was not lenient with Wu Musheng and scolded him half to death.

In addition, many of the people present were parents of Master Su’s students. When they saw Wu Musheng walking towards Master Su, they rubbed their hands in anticipation and surrounded him.

If Wu Musheng dared to speak rudely to Master Su, he would take action immediately.

Some of the ladies even spat directly on Wu Musheng's face, and then continued to curse his ancestors.

Wu Musheng was so frightened by this scene that he didn't dare to say a word. He turned back with a pale face.

"Brother, you are such a coward. Hua'er Duo'er is from the Wu family. How could your biological father be scared by your stepfather? If this gets out to others, it will be a disgrace to our Wu family."

Wu Na didn't mind the trouble and was doing yin and yang while eating melon seeds.

She wished Wu Musheng and Master Su would fight each other.

Why should Tong Pandi, a divorced woman, live such a comfortable life? We should create some trouble for her.

"Shut up right there." Wu Musheng took out his anger on Wu Na, looking as if he was going to eat her. "How dare you mention the Wu family? If you weren't stupid, how could the Wu family become what it is now?"

Her brother got angry, and the pain of being beaten last time came to her mind. Wu Na didn't dare to continue dancing in Wu Musheng's minefield.

"Ruinian, where did Ruinian go?"

Wu Na changed the subject and looked for Gu Ruinian with her eyes rolling around.

Wu Na Gu Ruinian watched her very closely. She was pregnant and asked Ruinian to be by her side to take care of her all the time.

In a blink of an eye, Ruinian disappeared, so he shouted loudly.

Gu Ruinian came to Tong Huaqiong's house, sneaked into the kitchen when no one was paying attention, took out two big steamed buns, filled a large bowl of meat, and then found an empty corner to eat.

Gu Ruinian no longer cared about taking the imperial examination to become an official or stirring up trouble. He just wanted to make some money to fill his stomach.

Wu Na's voice was very loud, so Gu Ruinian naturally heard it.

He had no plans to go out.

It was a rare moment of respite, and he wanted to be alone for a while.

......

The auspicious time has arrived.

The sound of suona and firecrackers was heard outside.

"The bride has arrived."

"The bride has arrived."

Maner and several other children had been running towards the village entrance since morning.

Seeing Gu Jingzhe riding a horse with flowers, the children shouted excitedly and threw flower petals they had collected from the village to the returning wedding procession.

"I'm coming."

Everyone rushed to the gate.

In an instant, the road in front of Tong Huaqiong's house was blocked.

The dowry was carried in a winding manner from the doorstep of Tong Huaqiong's house to the outside of the village.

The crowd was excited.

People in the countryside don't give much dowry when they get married, so the people in Qinghewan were amazed by Lu Zhaozhao's dowry.

Even the well-informed Aunt Tang's eyes widened. When her family member Lian Hengruo got married, the dowry was considered large, but it was not even half of Lu Zhaozhao's.

After all, he is an imperial merchant. There is no comparison, no comparison.

"Are you sending the entire Lu family here with you?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this dowry will probably take two lifetimes to spend."

The villagers were talking about it, with envy showing on their faces.

Old Mrs. Gu's sister, Old Mrs. Yang, stared at the dowry with her eyes almost popping out.

"Look at this dowry. Jingzhe's Yue family is really generous."

Mrs. Ding touched Mrs. Yang's arm.

Old Mrs. Yang's face changed constantly, this dowry was too heartbreaking.

As unhappy as Old Lady Yang's was Mrs. Jia. When her son married Wu Na, she was so happy for the dowry of 500 taels of silver. This dowry was more than 500 taels.

The key point is that the five hundred taels of silver promised by the Wu family did not reach them.

Jia was extremely upset.

My whole body felt as if it were pierced by wheat thorns.

Tong Huaqiong was speechless when she saw Jia's face which looked like she was laughing and crying.

It was obvious that the relationship between the two families was not good, and there was no need for Jia to attend Gu Jingzhe's wedding, but no one knew what was in her mind that she had to rush over.

But every time she saw the high-spirited Gu Jingzhe and compared him with Ruinian, she would be consumed by the fire of jealousy, which would not dissipate for several days.

This kind of internal friction is purely self-harming.

Not to mention Tong Huaqiong, even Jia Shi didn't understand what he was thinking.

Although he hated Tong Huaqiong and Gu Jingzhe so much, he never wanted to miss the glory of the eldest wife's family.

It's like having a serious illness.

The dowry continued to be carried towards Tong Huaqiong's home, and the roadside was crowded with people.

"This is only part of the dowry. The bulk of it is in the new house in the capital."

At this time, Song Qiaoniang, the sister-in-law of the family who went to the provincial capital with Gu Jingzhe to welcome the bride, came up to the crowd and pointed at the dowry with a proud look on her face.

what?

Everyone was shocked again.

Is this just part of the dowry?

How much should the total dowry be?

They finally saw the so-called ten miles of red makeup.

Tong Huaqiong was equally shocked.

As agreed upon during the marriage negotiation, the Lu family’s dowry could be carried directly to the new house in the city, or it could be left at the Lu family, since it couldn’t run away anyway.

Unexpectedly, the Lu family carried it directly to Qinghe Bay.

Mr. Lu is making Gu Jingzhe proud.

However, Tong Huaqiong did not expect that the dowry carried to Qinghe Bay was only a small part of Lu Zhaozhao's dowry, and the bulk of it was in the provincial capital.

"The bride has stepped down from the sedan chair."

"The bride has stepped down from the sedan chair."

A group of children cheered, and in an instant the sedan chair was surrounded by a huge crowd.

Wei and Song Qiaoniang stepped forward to help Lu Zhaozhao down from the sedan chair, and Chen Sufen and Liu Yue'e handed a red ribbon to each of the newlyweds.

Originally, Gu Jingzhe was in front holding the red ribbon, and Lu Zhaozhao was walking behind.

This is how the groom walks with the bride on the way to the wedding hall.

Gu Jingzhe suddenly stopped and held Lu Zhaozhao's hand in full view of everyone.

Lu Zhaozhao, under the red veil, had a face full of red clouds.

During the wedding ceremony, Tong Huaqiong sat in the high seat.

Mr. and Mrs. Gu looked at Tong Huaqiong accepting the newlyweds' worship with mixed feelings, feeling sorry for their son who didn't get to see their youngest son get married.

After the wedding ceremony, the newlyweds were sent to their bridal chamber.

The new house was packed with people.

Especially those relatives who had never seen Lu Zhaozhao, all of them were watching the fun in the house.

"The feast has begun, everyone hurry up and eat."

Gu Baishuang saw a large group of people crowded in the bridal chamber with no room to even step, and was afraid that Lu Zhaozhao would be stepped on in the chaos, so she sent most of the people away as soon as the feast began.

"With such a large dowry, the bride won't be as ugly as a plain girl."

From the moment she saw the dowry, Mrs. Gu's sister, Mrs. Yang, suspected that the bride had defects in her hands and feet, otherwise who would be willing to spend so much to marry off their daughter?

The moment Lu Zhaozhao got out of the sedan chair, Old Lady Yang was disappointed.

Old Mrs. Yang still didn't give up and said this at the door of her new house.

"They say ugly people are prone to mischief, and it's true. You old woman, look at your face, it looks like a donkey's." Gu Taohua pointed at Old Lady Yang's elongated face and retorted bluntly.

Chen Sufen said angrily: "If you can't speak, shut up. Your grandson is incapable of marrying a wife, and you are jealous that Jingzhe is here."

Tong Huaqiong said to Su Qing beside her, "Go and tell Daqiao and Fengnian, who are keeping the gift book, to return the gift money from Second Aunt to her, and don't let her eat this feast. The two families don't need to have any contact in the future."

Su Qing answered yes and waved towards the stream and pond. Two strong maids carried Old Madam Yang and threw her out quickly.

This scene left Lu Zhaozhao's maid and nanny stunned.
