Zhan Qingning's eyes immediately reddened. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Xie Jianshu spoke respectfully: "Madam, I have just returned from the palace with an imperial decree. The Emperor has appointed me as the Grand Commander of the Capital Guard. After my marriage to Qing Ning, I will remain in the capital!"
Lin Yiwan was indeed pleasantly surprised. She clapped her hands and said, "That's wonderful! I was really reluctant to part with Qingning. Now that she's staying in the capital, I have someone to rely on again!"
Zhan Qingning held her hand: "Mother is Qingning's support. Without you, Qingning would never have survived to this day!"
Lin Yiwan sighed, "Silly child, you're about to get married, and you're still saying such childish things. You're so well-behaved and sensible. Even without my help, you'll still live a good life!"
Zhan Qingning did not agree with this statement, because she knew very well that the Zhan Yi Marquis's mansion was the nourishment that nurtured her growth.
She knows how to be grateful!
With her wedding just around the corner, Lin Yiwan was even busier than before.
Finally, the day of their wedding arrived, and Zhan Yan and Lin Yiwan both got up very early.
Zhan Qingning, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, was helped out by an old nanny. She first went to the main courtyard to bid farewell to her parents.
She said emotionally, "Father, Mother, Qingning is so grateful for your upbringing. I will do anything to be filial to you!"
Lin Yiwan quickly reached out and pulled her up: "Get up quickly. The Zhan Yi Marquis's mansion will always be your support. If Xie Jianshu dares to make you suffer any injustice, your mother will definitely stand up for you. My dear Qingning, a child of the Zhan family cannot be bullied!"
Zhan Qingning nodded emphatically: "Yes, Qingning remembers her mother's teachings!"
Just then, Zhan Xuan's voice rang out from outside: "The groom has come to pick up the bride, but he won't get past me. I can't let him take my sister away so easily!"
Lin Yiwan's brows furrowed immediately, and she subconsciously looked at Zhan Yan: "What trouble is that bastard causing now? If he dares to make things difficult for Jian Shu, I'll go and beat him up!"
Zhan Yan quickly grabbed her hand: "Won't your hand hurt if you hit him? He's thick-skinned now. If you slap him a few times, he'll just think it's a tickle. If you go too far later, I'll get you a rattan whip. That way he'll know what pain is!"
Standing to the side, Zhan Qingning's heart pounded wildly. She even began to doubt whether Zhan Xuan was really her father and mother's biological son.
Why do they dislike him so much?
Unaware that he was about to be whipped, Zhan Xuan stood nonchalantly at the door with his arms crossed. He glanced at Xie Jianshu and said, "This Commander of the Guards, if you want to marry my sister, you'd better get me out of here first."
Wearing a bright red wedding dress, Xie Jianshu responded loudly: "Fine, I'll hug you! Boss Xuan, make sure you stand firm!"
He strode up to Zhan Xuan and wrapped his arms around him.
Zhan Xuan was extremely strong, and because he practiced martial arts, his lower body was very stable.
He stood there, like a solid wooden stake, impossible for Xie Jianshu to budge.
The veins on his forehead were bulging, but Zhan Xuan still didn't move an inch.
He was somewhat discouraged!
Just then, Zhan Mu, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, couldn't help but remind him: "Xie Xiaoshu, attack his weak point!"
Xie Jianshu was stunned at first, then suddenly realized what was happening.
Zhan Xuan then arrogantly declared, "Brother, I have no weaknesses. Your little tricks are no match for me!"
Zhan Mu remained noncommittal, but Xie Jianshu suddenly blew a breath into Zhan Xuan's ear.
"Haha, ouch!" Zhan Xuan laughed and lost his balance.
Xie Jianshu seized the opportunity and grabbed him.
Zhan Xuan shouted angrily, "You brat, you're despicable! How dare you cheat! Let me go! Show me your real skills!"
Xie Jianshu frowned and said, "I won't let you go. Today is my wedding day. Boss Xuan, you can't ruin things. You just stand here!"
He abandoned Zhan Xuan and rushed into the house, where he kowtowed to Zhan Yan and Lin Yiwan along with Zhan Qingning.
He solemnly promised: "I will definitely protect Qingning in the future. I assure my father and mother that I will cherish her as a treasure and will only have her as my wife. I will never take a concubine!"
Zhan Qingning's eyes immediately reddened, and Lin Yiwan couldn't help but praise, "What a good son-in-law!"
Zhan Yan reached out and helped him up: "Father hopes that you two will help each other and live in harmony as husband and wife. Whenever there is a disagreement, calm down for half an hour before talking. Don't let a moment of anger damage the relationship between husband and wife!"
Xie Jianshu nodded emphatically: "Father, don't worry, I won't have any disagreements with Qing Ning. Once she enters the Xie family, she will be in charge, and I will listen to her in everything!"
Zhan Yan patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction before handing Zhan Qingning over to him with peace of mind.
Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums rang out outside: "The bride is getting into the bridal sedan chair!"
The crowd escorted the bride and groom as they walked out, accompanied by the deafening sounds of firecrackers and drums.
At this moment, in the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence, Xie Ru was looking at her sister-in-law with a nervous expression: "Take a look, is there anything wrong with my makeup?"
Her sister-in-law couldn't help but chuckle: "Oh dear, if you didn't know better, you'd think you were getting married. Why are you so nervous?"
Xie Ru couldn't help but speak up: "Sister-in-law, please don't laugh at me. Qing Ning is a good girl, and I want to leave a good impression on her!"
Your sister-in-law comforted you, saying, "You said it yourself, Qingning is a good girl. Even if your outfit has flaws, she won't mind!"
Xie Ru muttered, "But I'm worried. What if something goes wrong and I scare away my good daughter-in-law?"
Before her sister-in-law could say anything, her niece spoke up: "Aunt, my cousin is now the commander of the capital's guards. With such a high rank, how could she be scared away? She'd love to stick close to him!"
Xie Ru couldn't help but turn around and scold, "What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Why do you think your cousin got such an official position? Isn't it because he's the son-in-law of the Zhan family? The Emperor is Qing Ning's maternal grandfather, how could he bear to separate the newlyweds!"
Her sister-in-law immediately smoothed things over, saying, "Don't take it to heart with Rongrong. She's just being immature. I'll teach her a lesson later!"
Xie Ru didn't say anything more, turned around and went out to greet the bridal sedan chair.
Xie Rongrong bit her lip in dissatisfaction, frowning as she glared at her mother: "What have I done wrong? How can Aunt think so highly of the Zhan family girl? My cousin's job was clearly earned through genuine military merit, yet she insists on attributing it to the Zhan family girl. How can she do such a thing? She's just trying to make others look good!"
Madam Xie pointed helplessly at her forehead: "Can you shut your mouth? No matter how your cousin got his official position, the current Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion has a very high status, which is very beneficial to our merchant Xie family. If you stay by her side, you can also find a high-ranking mansion to be a lady!"
Xie Rongrong curled her lip upon hearing this. She looked down on the young masters from those prestigious families; they only had their eyes on her money.
