The old house of the Bai family is full of joy.

The ceremony of taking a concubine was even more grand than that of marrying a wife.

It is an auspicious day, with red makeup stretching for ten miles and joy everywhere.

"I heard that Second Young Master Bai is not here."

"Yes, to Yangcheng."

"Why don't you wait until he comes back..."

"I heard from the servants of the Bai family that the second young master cherished his wife and did not want to take a concubine. The head of the Bai family and the old lady took the initiative and took advantage of the second young master's trip to Yangcheng to bring the concubine in."

“Tsk tsk tsk, the Han family actually agreed?”

"Miss Han likes the second young master, and everyone in the county knows it."

"The man's wife didn't make a scene?"

"He, he was beaten up a few days ago and sent to another courtyard to fend for himself."

"This……"

"If you ask me, it's not right for a man to occupy the position of the wife."

"Who says it isn't?"

Dali looked at the wedding procession and couldn't help frowning.

"Boss, this is really going too far. Even taking a concubine requires the Second Young Master's consent, right? How can you bring someone in when they're not around? Isn't this forced buying and selling?"

Shopkeeper Qian put down the account book, looked up and said, "Do your job well and don't interfere in the master's affairs."

Although he said this, he didn't agree with what the Bai family did in his heart.

The second young master is stubborn and principled. If he comes back, I'm afraid he will cause chaos.

He thought of the Second Young Mistress again. She seemed innocent and simple-minded. How could such a person have a good life in the old house? He might as well go to the other courtyard and find some peace and quiet.

The wedding procession was huge, and the musicians dressed in festive red clothes played cheerful and festive music, and the sound of drums and music resounded through the sky.

Four bearers carried the magnificent sedan chair at steady pace and arrived at the gate of the old house. Aunt Hua supported the bride, who was wearing a phoenix coronet and a red robe, and entered the courtyard through the main gate.

"Only when two people are well matched can such a scene happen!"

"Who says it isn't?"

"How can she be called a concubine? She is wearing a phoenix crown and a red robe and entering through the main gate. This is clearly the treatment of a wife."

"I heard the betrothal gift is more than what is given to the man's wife."

"The old lady should be satisfied this time."

This room.

Han Bailing respectfully offered tea to Bai Yishui and Mrs. Bai who were sitting in the seats of honor.

"Bai Ling, I'm sorry for wronging you. When Xun'er comes back, I'll ask him to compensate you." Old Lady Bai said with a smile.

Han Bailing chuckled and said, "I'm not wronged. It's my blessing to be able to enter the Bai family and marry the second young master."

"Oh my, look at this, what a sweet mouth." Mrs. Bai couldn't stop smiling.

Bai Yishui nodded with satisfaction and said, "Time is tight, Jingyuan has not been renovated yet. If you find anything that is inappropriate, just tell the butler."

"Yes."

"Aunt, I will take you back to Jingyuan." The speaker was Cui Ju.

"Cui Ju will stay in Jingyuan to serve in the future. This girl has been with me for six years. She is smart, sensible, and careful in her work." Mrs. Bai said with a smile.

"Thank you, madam."

"Hey? Why call her old lady? You should call her grandma." said Mrs. Bai.

Han Bailing called out sweetly: "Grandfather, Grandma."

"Hey."

Bai Yishui and Mrs. Bai were smiling happily.

"I wonder where that person is? According to the rules, I should go and serve him tea." Han Bailing asked.

Upon hearing this, Madam Bai said somewhat awkwardly, "He...he's ill and recuperating in the other courtyard. It's better not to disturb him. I'll just send someone over with some wedding candy and cakes later."

Han Bailing nodded in agreement.

After returning to Jingyuan, Han Bailing's maid Xiao Liu looked around the furnishings in the room.

"This room is nice, miss. Look at this bed, it's really grand."

"Okay, stop looking like you've never seen the world." Han Bailing sat in front of the dressing table, without a trace of joy, only fatigue on her face.

"Miss, there are so many picture books here. Hey, what is this?" Xiao Liu looked at the toys on the bookshelf curiously. "It's a car as long as a centipede!"

Han Bailing stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and picked up a book.

It's a storybook, not the type that Bai Xun would read.

Han Bailing looked at the exquisitely crafted step-out bed and couldn't help but sigh.

This should be where Nanchun and Baixun live.

"Aunt Han, are you not satisfied with anything?" Cui Ju heard her sigh and hurried in to see.

Han Bailing smiled and said, "It's great here. I have no complaints."

"That's good. The Patriarch and the Old Lady have given their orders. Jingyuan, you are the boss. Any adjustments or arrangements you want are up to you."

Han Bailing nodded and said, "I understand."

Other courtyard.

"The concubine came home today, right?" Song Amei was making clothes for Nanchun to wear in cold weather.

Lingyun looked at Nanchun who was sitting in the pavilion reading a book not far away and nodded slightly.

Niu Er came breathlessly to report: "Madam, Second Young Madam, someone is coming to the old house."

Nanchun put down the book, sighed softly and said, "Let someone in."

After a while, Mother Lan, dressed in red, came over with a few people holding wedding candies and wedding cakes.

"Madam Nan, Second Young Madam, the Second Young Master is taking a concubine today, and Aunt Han has already come in. She heard that you were ill, so she didn't come to disturb you. She asked the old servants to come and give everyone some wedding candies and wedding cakes to share in the joy." Mother Lan smiled proudly.

"Oh, thank you for your concern, Aunt Han." Nanchun said.

"Mrs. Han has now moved into Jingyuan. The head of the family and the old lady have said that she will be in charge of Jingyuan's affairs from now on. Please don't have any ideas!"

Nanchun nodded and said, "Okay."

Lan's mother meant to be infuriating, but despite all she said, Nanchun and Song Amei's expressions barely changed. It was as if they had thrown a punch in a rage that had missed.

Seeing that Mother Lan had no intention of leaving, Nanchun said with a smile, "It's getting dark. If you don't mind, Mother Lan, why don't you stay for dinner before leaving? But this place is nothing like the old house. We don't have any delicacies, just simple meals."

Lan's mother curled her lips and replied with a look of disgust: "No need."

After saying that, she took her people away.

Seeing that the person had left, Jindou came over, picked up a piece of candy and was about to put it in his mouth.

"Wait." Nanchun grabbed his hand and said to Lingyun, "Take some out to feed the chickens as well."

Lingyun asked in surprise: "You suspect there is..."

"She wouldn't dare to use a deadly poison, but there's no guarantee that she would use something unpleasant. It's better to be safe than sorry!" Nanchun said.

After dinner, Jasmine came over and stammered, "The chickens in the backyard...the chickens have diarrhea."

"Ouch! Fortunately I didn't eat it!" Jindou looked scared.

"This damned Mother Lan is so cruel!" Lingyun was so angry that she couldn't even speak.

"You damn old woman! You're harming people and wasting so much food! You'll go to hell when you die!" Granny Jiang slapped her thigh. "You have to let the head of the family know about the Second Young Madam! If she can use croton seeds today, she can use arsenic tomorrow!"

Nanchun's face was solemn: "From now on, you must test the food sent by the old house before eating it."
