Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

After some consideration, Zhou Lin finally decided to go out to sea on the day of Wang Tiantian's wedding banquet.

On that day, the navy commander was completely immersed in the wedding banquet and naturally had no time to care about other things. Therefore, the navy camp would definitely relax the guard, which was undoubtedly a good opportunity to sneak in without anyone noticing.

That day, Shen Chuning and Yun Shuxuan arrived at the Fuping prefectural government office early in the morning.

When Shen Chuning saw the phoenix crown on Wang Tiantian's head for the first time, she felt a little strange. It was the one Zhou Lin brought back from the capital that day. At this moment, it was shining brightly in the sun, dazzling and sparkling.

Wang Tiantian keenly noticed Shen Chuning's gaze. She quickly took Shen Chuning's hand and said sincerely, "After choosing so many, I think this phoenix crown you gave me is the best. Thank you, Chuning."

Shen Chuning forced a smile and replied, "It's because the bride is so pretty that this phoenix crown looks even more beautiful."

Then, Wang Tiantian looked at Shen Chuning nervously and said softly, "Chuning, I'm really scared. According to the rules, my sisters can't accompany me to the Wu family today. Can you come with me?"

Shen Chuning smiled and said, "My mother, as a blessed woman, will send you to the Wu family. I will also be in the wedding procession to join in the fun at the Wu family and ask for a glass of wedding wine."

In fact, even if Wang Tiantian didn't say it, Shen Chuning would still go to the Wu family.

The navy is related to Lingshan, so the navy commander must be involved.

If the son of the navy commander gets married and someone from Lingshan comes to congratulate him, wouldn't that be a great opportunity for her to take advantage of the situation?

Shen Chuning had not been sitting in Wang Tiantian's boudoir for long when she heard the sounds of music coming from outside.

"Mr. Wu is here to pick up the bride. I'll go out and take a look." Shen Chuning said to Wang Tiantian and walked out of her boudoir.

Shen Chuning carefully observed the people who came to welcome the bride. They could basically talk to the people from the Wang family. From what they heard, they were addressed as Young Master or Young Master. There was no word like Master or Immortal Master.

When she was about to return to Wang Tiantian's boudoir, she caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar face.

The man passed through layers of obstacles and squeezed to Shen Chuning's side.

"Ms. Shen, what a coincidence." The man said with a smile on his face.

"Who are you?" Shen Chuning raised her eyebrows.

"I'm Wang Hongchang." He introduced himself.

Shen Chuning: "Oh, I don't know him."

Wang Hongchang became anxious. "How could I not know him? We are neighbors. My father is Wang Haiquan, the governor of Shandong."

Shen Chuning quietly moved away from Wang Hongchang, "I don't have any neighbors. My neighborhood is a ruin."

This sentence touched Wang Hongchang's sore spot. He originally lived in the east courtyard, but after the Shen family came to Jinan, he was forced to move to the west courtyard.

Later, even the west courtyard burned down, and he was forced to move to the Jinan prefectural government office. The courtyard was so small that even the maids around him complained.

"Lord Wang has more than thirty sons. How would I know who you are?" Shen Chuning continued expressionlessly.

Hearing this, Wang Hongchang became excited, "It's not more than thirty sons, but we have thirty-two brothers and sisters combined, but only thirteen sons, and I'm the legitimate son."

Wang Hongchang said this while puffing out his chest proudly.

Shen Chuning looked at the man in front of her who looked like a fat winter melon with disgust, wondering if this person from the Wang family had stayed in Shandong for too long and thought of himself as a local emperor.

According to her understanding, Mrs. Wang Huang had only one son and one daughter, and the son was Wang Hongwen, who set fire to half of the governor's office.

Since Wang Hongchang claimed to be the legitimate son, he must be from the lineage of Wang Haiquan's concubine, Song.

Thinking of this, Shen Chuning looked down on him even more.

Seeing that Shen Chuning didn't respond, Wang Hongchang continued to speak self-righteously, "The Wang family invited Miss Shen, and the Song family invited me. Coincidentally, the Wang and Song families are about to marry. Don't you think we are destined to be together?"

"You and her are quite destined to be together." Shen Chuning nodded forward, then walked into Wang Tiantian's boudoir without hesitation, without even turning her head.

Wang Hongchang looked in the direction Shen Chuning pointed, and saw a middle-aged woman standing there. She was wearing a purple coat and a small square scarf on her head. Her hair was shiny and tied into a small bun at the back of her head. A big red velvet flower was stuck in her temples. She was holding a handkerchief in her hand. She had a pointed mouth and chubby cheeks. Her face was painted with white powder, and her cheekbones were dotted with rouge. There was a conspicuous big black mole on her cheek.

At this moment, Wang Hongchang pointed at himself, then at the matchmaker, his heart full of doubts, and he stammered, "I...I...she...she...where..."

He wanted to argue with Shen Chuning, but when he turned around, he found that Shen Chuning was nowhere to be found.

……

The wedding procession was huge, with drums and music playing all the way. The sound seemed to pierce the sky and was deafening.

The groom wore a red robe embroidered with dark patterns and rode a tall horse with an upright posture. He led a group of people in front to clear the way. He looked majestic and imposing.

Wang Tiantian was sitting in the sedan chair with her head covered by a veil, her hands tightly holding a handkerchief.

Not long after, the wedding procession arrived at the Wu family smoothly.

There was a dim candlelight in front of the Wu family's door, and the courtyard was filled with music and singing.

With the careful support of the matchmaker, Wang Tiantian slowly stepped over the brazier and crossed the saddle that symbolized peace and good fortune.

The young master of the Wu family held one end of the red silk tightly in his hand and walked slowly with her towards the wedding hall.

The moment they stepped into the wedding hall, they both knelt down and kowtowed three times respectfully to the tablets of heaven and earth and to the elders sitting above.

Afterwards, she was escorted into the bridal chamber amid everyone's blessings.

Shen Chuning had been standing quietly by the side, her eyes slowly moving in the direction they left.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a familiar figure coming into her sight. When she looked closely, it was Wang Mier who accompanied her to the navy camp that day.

Shen Chuning frowned slightly. She remembered clearly that Wang Tiantian had said that according to the rules, her sisters could not come to the Wu family today.

She struggled internally. On the one hand, she wanted to remind Wang Tiantian, but on the other hand, she felt that it was better to mind her own business. After all, this was someone else's family affair, and if she rashly intervened, she would only bring bad luck.

Just as she was lost in thought, she looked across the crowd and saw Lord Wu, the navy commander, talking and laughing with another person.

The man had jet-black hair cascading down his shoulders like a waterfall, a pair of eyes with bright glints of light, a straight nose and thin lips, and his whole face was extremely handsome.

Shen Chuning widened her eyes in surprise and opened her mouth unconsciously.

She never imagined that the person chatting and laughing with Lord Wu was actually her fourth uncle.
