The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

The day before the wedding, someone from the Xie family came.

Almost all the members came, and they also brought a carriage of dowry prepared for Xu Ke.

Uncle Xie Jiye, cousin Xie Tianhua, and Xie Su’s new husband.

They were all in the main hall of the front yard, talking with the second master.

Uncle Xie Jiye took a sip of tea and spoke first.

"Tomorrow is Coco's wedding day. As her uncle, I naturally want to send her a token of my appreciation. I wish Coco and the prince a happy and healthy marriage."

The second master responded with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern, brother. You have helped our family a lot over the years. Tomorrow, Keke is getting married. Brother, you must bring the whole family over to play."

Xie Jiye nodded repeatedly.

"Of course. We'll come over early tomorrow morning to share in the good fortune."

Cousin Xie Tianhua continued.

"My cousin is very lucky. She has been loved by her family since she was a child. After she marries the Prince Regent, she will surely be loved by the Prince as well."

The second master smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

"Tianhua is right. Our family is blessed with two daughters. Duoduo is about to give birth, so why did she come here today?"

Xie Tianhua answered with a smile.

"Duoduo missed her sister so much that she insisted on coming to see us. But there will be many guests at the mansion tomorrow, so she won't be allowed to come."

"That's right. The child is more important. Some guests will be back tomorrow to avoid any bumps or injuries."

The second master nodded and looked at Xie Su’s newlywed husband beside him.

"This is Yuan Tao's first time visiting his uncle's house. We should visit each other more often in the future."

Yuan Tao answered politely.

"My uncle is right. We must come here often in the future."

The second master sighed, "Time flies by so fast! In the blink of an eye, all the children are married."

Xie Jiye patted the second master on the shoulder.

"Brother-in-law, the children have grown up and have their own blessings. As elders, we can rest assured to see that they are doing well."

Everyone nodded and continued to discuss matters related to tomorrow's wedding.

The second wife took her aunt Xie to see the betrothal gifts sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Looking at the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and the pieces of silk and satin that are not available on the market.

There are also jade ornaments that can be used as heirlooms, and red coral trees that are a visual delight...

Aunt Xie, who came from a wealthy merchant family, was stunned and couldn't help but marvel at it.

"The scale of this betrothal gift is truly unprecedented! This royal honor is truly extraordinary."

The second wife said with a smile, her face filled with pride and joy.

"It's because the prince values us, Keke, that he has such a generous betrothal gift. I heard it exceeds the original regulations.

The Grand Empress Dowager added some personal treasures. Sister-in-law, look at this jade ruyi, it was added to the betrothal gift by the Grand Empress Dowager."

Aunt Xie came closer to look at the jade ruyi carefully, and was amazed.

"Look at the water head of this jade ruyi, it is warm and delicate, without any fantasy, it is simply the best of the best."

The second lady nodded slightly.

"That's right, Keke has been our favorite since she was little, and she has been foolish for ten years.

Now that her brain is working better, she can have such a glorious marriage, which is a blessing from heaven."

Aunt Xie's eyes were full of envy.

"Our Su'er's wedding wasn't so glorious. My son-in-law is from a humble family after all."

The second lady held the hand of her aunt Xie.

"Sister-in-law, I see that Yuan Tao treats Su'er very well, so please don't neglect him. In fact, the amount of the betrothal gift is secondary.

What’s important is that my daughter can live comfortably after marrying into the family.”

Aunt Xie nodded.

“My sister is right. If you want a priceless treasure, it’s hard to find a lover. My brother-in-law is here for you and your daughter.

Your eldest brother praised you several times at home for being able to sever ties with the Xu family's eldest branch!"

Speaking of the Xu family's eldest wife, the second wife took the hand of her aunt from the Xie family and sat down.

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, the eldest master of the main house is so shameless. A few days ago, he came to our house to ask for a dowry for Xu Yuanyuan!"

"Ah! There is such a thing?"

The aunt and sister-in-law sat together and had endless topics to talk about.

In the aromatherapy garden.

Xu Ke had kept her hand on Xuanyundu's belly for a while, and Xie Su sat beside her, looking at them both tenderly.

Dingdang and Anxiang also stood aside and watched with wide eyes.

"He moved, he just kicked me."

Xu Ke said happily.

For a girl who has never given birth, being able to feel the fetal movement of a baby before it is born is a very unique experience.

"Sister, you said we are talking now, can the baby in your belly hear us?"

Xuanyuduo's face is full of the radiance of a loving mother.

"Even if he could hear it, he wouldn't understand it, right?"

Xuanyunduo answered with a smile.

Xie Su spoke softly.

"Whether you can understand or not, it's always good for us to say some warm words."

"Cousin Su'er is right."

Xu Keke blinked and moved closer to Xuanyuduo's belly.

"My dear, I am your aunt. When you come out, I will take you to have fun."

Everyone laughed at her words.

Xuanyuduo touched Xu Keke's head.

"You're getting married tomorrow. Can you be more mature like Su'er? It should be your future child who should play with your sister's belly."

Xu Ke turned around and looked at Xie Su. Xie Su had just gotten married and her face turned slightly red when she heard this.

Xu Keke pulled her aside and asked in a low voice.

"Cousin Su'er, um...will the wedding night be painful?"

Xie Su's face turned even redder when she asked this question. Thinking that his cousin Keke was about to get married, he thought that she must be worried about this matter and asked this question. He secretly took out a booklet and handed it to Xu Keke.

"This is for you. My aunt asked me to give it to you. You can only read it when you are behind others."

Xu Keke took it tactfully and handed it to Anxiang, asking her to help hide it.

"Sister, can you promise me something?"

Xu Ke was allowed to walk back and sit next to Xuanyueduo.

Xuanyundu looked at his sister lovingly and said with a smile.

"Sister, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I promise you."

"Really? Then when you go back, tell your uncle about the ten guards he sent this time.

There's a guy named Xie Shisan, he's not a good person, you should kick him out of the Xie family!"

Xuanyunduo was stunned when he heard this, but didn't ask any more questions. The Xie family had many servants, and since the sister didn't like him, she just sent him away without asking for the redemption money.

So she nodded.

"Okay, sister will tell uncle when she gets home."

Xu Ke hugged Xuanyue's arms and acted coquettishly.

"Sister, you are so kind!"

Between two points, the straight line is the fastest.

Xu Keke thought about it and decided that instead of waiting for Xie Shisan to commit a crime, he could deal with him after he committed a crime.

It would be better to drive him away as soon as possible to avoid giving him the opportunity to plan a big move.

The sisters chatted privately for a while, and then the Xu family started the banquet.

This time the banquet was divided into two tables, one for male guests and one for female guests, separated by a large screen.

The atmosphere among the female guests was very harmonious.

The second wife greeted everyone warmly, and the sisters sat together, talking and laughing.

Exquisite dishes were served on the table, filling the air with fragrance.

Everyone continued the previous topic while enjoying the delicious food.

On the other hand, the male guests were toasting each other and talking about the changing business world and current political affairs.

The second master and Xie Jiye had a very pleasant conversation, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

After the meal, the Xie family members were about to get up and say goodbye, and the second master and second mistress personally saw them off to the door.
