How could such an outstanding daughter of hers be a perfect match with a eunuch?

This birth date and eight characters must have been made up by Zhou.

Zheng hated Zhou to death, but she didn't dare to confront her. She could only make excuses, "Rong'er's wedding dress hasn't been embroidered yet. Let's talk about it in a few months."

Zheng kept making excuses, and Zhou's smile was about to fade. "Who embroiders their own wedding gowns these days? There are so many ready-made clothing shops. You don't have to worry about it, sister. I'll send it to Rong'er the day before the wedding."

Zheng frowned and looked at Zhou, wanting to refute but unable to find a reason.

According to the Yunchao girl’s marriage customs, the wedding dress does not have to be prepared by the girl’s parents’ home, but the husband’s family may also help prepare it to show their respect for the daughter-in-law.

Therefore, she really had no reason to refute Zhou's words. She could only bite the bullet and say, "We only have one daughter, Rong'er. We can't rush her marriage. We must arrange it properly."

"What you said makes sense, sister. Our Zhou family is also expecting a son, so we will hold a grand ceremony and will not bring shame to the Zhou and Xu families." Zheng's face was full of black lines. Is this what she meant?

Besides, if we hold a grand ceremony in three days, I’m afraid we won’t be able to invite all the guests.

Zheng said directly, "These three days of the wedding..."

Before she could finish, Zhou took over, "Sister also thinks that the wedding date of three days is suitable. We think so too. After all, they have already had physical contact. If we don't get married soon, Rong'er will be pregnant by then, and there will definitely be gossip if we do it then. That's why we are so anxious for Rong'er."

Zhou's few words were all for Xu Rong's good. Jiang Xiyu couldn't help but look at Zhou, and couldn't help but slap her in her heart for what she said.

Zheng frowned and said nothing.

Zhou was too lazy to argue with her and stood up directly and said, "Alright, since sister has no objection, then the wedding date will be set for three days later. Then we will come to pick up the bride in person."

Zhou said this without giving Zheng a chance to speak again, and she took the servants out directly.

As soon as Zhou walked out of the main hall, Zheng was so angry that she threw the teacup on the table to the ground.

The crisp sound of "Pa!" made Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Sun in the room dare not even breathe.

Jiang Xiyu raised her eyebrows slightly and sneered in her heart.

Are you angry?

Sadly, this is just the beginning.

When Zhou walked outside, she heard the sound of teacups being smashed in the house. She also raised a disdainful sneer at the corner of her lips and strode away with her servants.

Zheng in the room stared at Jiang Xiyu, Sun and Hu with a gloomy face. Seeing that they all lowered their brows and eyes, she felt it was not appropriate to take her anger out on them, so she just stood up and left in a huff.

After watching the fun, Jiang Xiyu followed.

The moon was just above the brow of the moon, and the sky was dotted with stars, which fell on the ground. The tender green buds were vying to emerge, and when a breeze blew by, they swayed with joy.

After watching the excitement during the day, Jiang Xiyu went back to sleep for a long time. After dinner, he brought Qing'er to stroll around the house.

Qing'er followed Jiang Xiyu, holding a lantern in her hand to light the way, but she had no other thoughts and was just enjoying the beautiful night scenery.

"Madam, you said that Zhou threatened the old lady, but the Marquis didn't show up at all. Does he really not intend to intervene in the Fifth Miss's marriage?"

After Jiang Xiyu returned, she asked Qing'er to keep an eye on Zheng's every move. She also asked Zheng to go find Xu Rui after leaving the main hall, but Xu Rui avoided her. Then she went to Xu Rong, who made a big fuss.

After Qing'er came back, she told her everything.

Jiang Xiyu paced slowly and said sarcastically, "How could he not care?"

Xu Rui's favorite thing has always been to have everything in his hands, especially the people in Yonglin Marquis Mansion. No one can escape his control.

Xu Rong was determined to enter the palace as a concubine, and even drugged Gu Wei, which was definitely a taboo for Xu Rui.

But Xu Rong is his sister, he may not be as cruel to her as he is to others and take her life, but he will not easily cover up this matter.

The matter between Xu Rong and Zhou Lai caused such a big stir that even Gu Wei knew about what happened between them. Xu Rui naturally went with the flow and directly married Xu Rong to Zhou Lai.

It can teach Xu Rong a lesson and also give an explanation to Gu Wei.

In addition to the incident of drugging the emperor, Xu Rong's repeated schemes against her also made Xu Rui angry. Even if Xu Rui didn't do it for her, it was for his own face. After all, she was his wife, and Xu Rong's schemes against her showed that she didn't take Xu Rui seriously.

Xu Rui will definitely not let Xu Rong go this time as he has to pay for multiple crimes.

As long as Xu Rui wants to facilitate the marriage between Xu Rong and Zhou Lai, Xu Rong will definitely not be able to escape.

Qing'er didn't understand the deeper meaning of this and asked in confusion, "What do you mean, Madam? The Marquis hasn't shown up yet?" Jiang Xiyu raised an eyebrow, "Just because he hasn't shown up doesn't mean he won't care."

Zhou dared to be so arrogant in the Marquis' Mansion. Besides being really angry with Zheng, she might have guessed what Xu Rui was thinking.

Qing'er was still confused. "I still don't understand. But judging from the old lady's expression today, she must be reluctant to let the fifth young lady marry into the Zhou family."

Hearing Qing'er's regretful tone, Jiang Xiyu couldn't help laughing. She turned around and wanted to say something, but saw Zheng and Xu Rong not far away.

"Madam, it's the old lady and the fifth young lady." Qing'er also saw the two people not far away and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Seeing the two of them sneaking around and looking around, Jiang Xiyu immediately blew out the lantern and pulled Qing'er to the corner.

Qing'er cautiously poked her head out and saw Wonton and Caiye behind Xu Rong. They were both carrying several bags. She immediately became anxious and whispered, "Madam, are they planning to run away from their marriage?"

Jiang Xiyu didn't say anything.

After today's incident, Xu Rui's attitude forced Zheng to temporarily send Xu Rong out of Kyoto to avoid the limelight. If it weren't for the last resort, not only would Zheng be reluctant to send Xu Rong out to suffer, but Xu Rong herself would also be unwilling to leave the capital.

Seeing Zheng and Xu Rong about to leave through the back door, Qing'er said unwillingly, "Madam, should we go call for help? We can't let them get away like this."

They harmed Jiang Xiyu like this and wanted to run away, but it would not be so easy. They should marry Xu Rong to the Zhou family and let her taste the evil consequences of her own actions.

Jiang Xiyu was not in a hurry at all. She smiled and said, "They can't escape. Just wait and see!"

Qing'er looked at Jiang Xiyu in confusion.

"Let's go." Jiang Xiyu took Qing'er in another direction without explaining.

Qing'er was still unwilling to give in. She looked back at Zheng, Xu Rong and the others every few steps and went out through the back door.
