The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

When the masters of the Xia family got concubines, there were people talking about it in the first few days. Even when Xia Tongzhang and Xia Tongmiao took up their posts, some people stood up to congratulate them.

After a long time, no one mentioned it anymore.

Because news came out from the court, Prince Rong’s wedding date was set.

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory set the date, which was the first day of August, just half a month away from the wedding.

Prince Rong’s marriage was postponed last year due to the death of the previous emperor and the unstable political situation at that time.

The marriage between Prince Rong and Miss Xia Wu was delayed.

Now we can finally have our wedding.

In fact, Zhao Rong is only one year younger than Qin Wan, and Qin Wan already has four children.

Zhao Rong is already not young at this age.

The Imperial Observatory chose a good day so quickly, with the Xia family secretly instigating it.

The well-informed ministers in the court have already realized that the women of the Xia family have offended the queen, which is very unfavorable to the Xia family.

The Xia family is now in urgent need of a Princess Rong to consolidate the Xia family.

The third branch of the Xia family was very busy all day because they were preparing things for Xia Wenmiao's wedding.

Xia Wenmiao's former close friends, taking advantage of the fact that Xia Wenmiao was not married yet, came to the mansion to reminisce about the past.

After all, she would be a princess after she got married, a princess of the first rank with a noble status.

But we must continue to maintain friendly relations.

At this time, many young ladies gathered at the waterside pavilion. Xia Wenmiao was entertaining her close friends.

"Wen Miao, although the Queen will be your sister-in-law in the future, she is still your cousin. Has she added makeup to you?"

Li Rong, the daughter of the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, blinked her big innocent eyes and asked very sharp questions.

Xia Wenmiao's face stiffened for a moment. Li Rong was bringing up something that was not relevant!

The Queen was angry with the Xia family because of her second sister's rebellious words, so how could she add more makeup to her?

Xia Wenmiao felt that if it weren't for her good relationship with Zhao Rong, her marriage would probably have changed.

For a moment, Xia Wenmiao didn't know how to start.

At this time, Fan Miaojin, the granddaughter of the Minister of Rites, spoke up, "Wen Miao will be married in half a month, it's too early to add to the dowry now."

"I came here today just to ask Wen Miao what she likes, and to choose something she likes as a gift for her."

When the other girls heard what Fan Miaojin said, they all agreed.

The matter of whether the queen should add more makeup was soon passed on.

At this time, Jin Yutong, the second daughter of the Jin family, the young master of the Ministry of Personnel, spoke up and asked another inappropriate question, "Wen Miao, has your second sister's marriage been decided?"

"Look, you're getting married soon, it can't be that Miss Xia II's marriage hasn't been settled yet!"

As soon as Jin Yutong said this, Xia Wenmiao felt helpless, "The marriages of Xia's daughters are all decided by the elders, and my second sister also has to listen to the arrangements of the elders in the family.

As for the time of my marriage, if the Second Prince had not rebelled last year and the late Emperor had not passed away, I would have probably gotten married last year!"

Jin Yutong: "........."

Jin Yutong's face froze. Why was he mentioning the Second Prince?

It just shows that you are lucky!!!

Jin Yutong was once a candidate for the second prince's concubine. They were about to get married, but the second prince committed suicide by rebelling.

Jin Yutong should be thankful, otherwise she would be a widow now.

However, it was precisely because the second prince was gone that she was unable to move into the palace that she mocked the Xia family's daughter.

Xia Wenmiao took a sip of tea and said, "My wedding date was set by the royal family!!!"

Xia Wenmiao's meaning was very clear. He didn't want Jin Yutong to meddle in his affairs.

In fact, Xia Wenmiao was also a little angry, because she didn't have a very close relationship with Li Rong in the past.

It doesn't matter that she came uninvited today.

Jin Yutong is her eldest sister-in-law's biological sister. Why did she embarrass the daughter of the Xia family in front of outsiders today?

Jin Yutong said, "Oh, is that so? I see your second sister is also very picky. I heard from my sister that she has looked at quite a few and hasn't found one yet."

"I'm afraid that the men in the capital are not worthy of Second Sister Xia's eyes. She can only look at men from other places!"

As soon as Jin Yutong finished speaking, the other ladies didn't dare to respond.

They all looked at Jin Yutong, wondering why she was so out of control today.

Li Rong laughed, "I'm afraid Second Sister Xia is overwhelmed by the choices, hahaha!"

The waterside pavilion was particularly awkward because of Li Rong's laughter.

Xia Wenmiao's hand was tightly grasping the teacup. The daughters of the Xia family would all prosper together. If her second sister had a bad reputation, she would also be implicated.

Fan Miaojin said at this time: "Wen Miao, I have been out for a long time, and I am a little tired. I will say goodbye today."

The other girls chimed in, “Yeah, let’s get together some other time.”

Xia Wenmiao had wanted to send these people away for a long time. After all, there were two mad dogs here today, which were particularly annoying.

She smiled and said, "Okay, let's get together another day, and I'll post the message for you all!"

Xia Wenmiao’s meaning was very clear, that is, those who don’t have any posts should not come.

Li Rong's expression was slightly stiff, but Jin Yutong smiled.

"It's over now, I haven't stayed long enough!"

She looked at the other girls and said, "I'm not going with you. I want to go see my sister."

After saying this, Jin Yutong followed the maid to the Xia family's main house.

Jin Yutong did this just to vent her anger for her sister.

If it weren't for Xia Wenyao, her sister wouldn't have been so sad these days.

Xia Wenmiao was entertaining friends in the third room, but the girl from the second room of the Xia family did not go to entertain them.

There seems to be no problem among the branches of the Xia family on the surface, but there are already rifts within.

The first and third wives of the Xia family both blame the second wife.

There’s nothing that Old Madam Xia can do about her daughters-in-law, but the sisters-in-law can still feel resentment.

If it wasn't for the plan for Xia Wen Yao, the current situation wouldn't have happened.

The second branch of the Xia family got into trouble because of Xia Wen Yao. Old Man Xia wanted to quickly arrange a marriage for Xia Wen Yao based on the advice of his eldest grandson Xia Yizi.

The patriarch of Guyang's hometown has already selected a suitable man, a scholar named Kong.

Mr. Kong's uncle was also an official in the court. The Kong family was also a wealthy family in Guyang Prefecture and had considerable assets. Xia Wenyao would not suffer if she married into the family.

Now Mr. Kong is on his way to Beijing, and he plans to arrange the marriage with Xia Wenyao after meeting her.

Old Master Xia was determined to marry off his second granddaughter.

There were only two unengaged girls left in the second house, and Master Xia was asked to arrange the marriage in person.

Don't let Xia Wenyao's two younger sisters' marriages be delayed because she herself is unengaged.

Xia Wen Yao was very dissatisfied when she heard the news, but this time, neither Mr. Xia nor Mrs. Xia allowed Xia Wen Yao to continue to be willful as before.

If Xia Wenyao doesn't get married before the end of the year, she will be forced into a marriage by the government.

The Xia family can't afford to lose that person!!!

After receiving his father's instructions, Mr. Xia immediately selected two outstanding young men from among his students and arranged marriages for his two concubines' daughters, Xia Wenhuan and Xia Wenxin.

Both of them are now Jinshi, and their families are from the capital.

In comparison, Xia Wenyao's marriage is not as good as her sisters'.

"Second Miss, Madam said you can't go out!"

Xia Wenyao slapped the little maidservant directly, "You think you can control me?"
