Noble Lady

However, she still gets angry when she thinks of Zhang.

Especially when she recalled the one hundred taels that Zhang took from her, she became even more angry.

Fortunately, she no longer lacks money for medicine.

Zhang and her two daughters-in-law were all "sick". At that time, I didn't know whether they were unwilling to contribute money or effort and used this as an excuse to shirk responsibility. But it didn't matter. If Ru married well in the future, it would have nothing to do with them.

Zhang always kept the second room closed. On the day He Minzhi took a concubine, only He Shuang and her two brothers came to visit. Afterwards, he came back to continue to "recuperate" behind closed doors.

She didn't show up until two days before He Ruyi's wedding.

After tidying up the room, he opened the gate to the second room.

"Sister Shuang, it's time for us to go out and show off."

He Shuang nodded repeatedly.

At this point, there was nothing more for Zhang to do regarding He Ruyi's marriage.

He Minzhi and Ji Minrou had taken care of all the things that needed to be taken care of, and even the wedding dress was prepared by Jinyi Pavilion, with He Ruyi only having to embroider two stitches symbolically as a token of appreciation.

Therefore, as the aunt, all Zhang could do was to add makeup.

She made some arrangements, picked and chose, took out half a box of jewelry, and took her wife and daughter to add to the makeup.

As He Ruyi's nominal sister-in-law, Xue Chenyu also asked Yuzhu to carry a box of jewelry and bottles and jars to add to her makeup, and she herself did not show up.

She had carefully selected all the items and specially organized them into books, which she kept in triplicate.

Some of them were taken back from the He family's mother and son, so when He Ruyi saw them, there was another panic.

There were also some old friends of the He family, like Old Mrs. He, who came to add to the makeup.

Some families who saw that he married the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an thought that he had the potential to rise, so they all came to add to He Ruyi's beauties.

After all, they didn't show up when the eldest daughter of the He family got married, so this is the best opportunity to repair their relationship.

After all, no one can be sure how far He Minzhi can go with the help of Wu'an Marquis Mansion since he has already entered the Hanlin Academy - one more friend is always better than one more enemy.

Therefore, He Ruyi's dowry was increased by a few more loads.

All together, there are sixty-eight lifts.

In the blink of an eye, He Ruyu's wedding day arrived.

As the sky in the east began to turn pale, the dressing maid and the matchmaker arrived. He Ruyi was pulled out of bed to dress up, and she didn't show any temper at all.

But she had already developed morning sickness. The matchmaker hired by the Cui family had held countless weddings and seen countless married women. Seeing her reaction, she looked at the He family differently.

……

Xue Chenyu also dressed up early in the morning. Although it was not her wedding today and she was not hosting the wedding, as He Ruyi's nominal sister-in-law, she still had to be festive.

So she wore a light blue chest-length skirt with round flowers, an apricot-yellow top, and a large red gauze sleeve embroidered with peonies. She also wore a long gauze shawl of the same color as the top, which hung down to the ground.

She is graceful and elegant, and she is indeed the eldest daughter of the wealthy Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

There are generally six steps to putting on makeup: applying powder, applying rouge, drawing eyebrows, dotting lips, applying facial decoration, and tying hair.

The makeup is also clean and elegant. The fair skin is more delicate with powder. The red makeup is not heavy, and the flower ornaments make it look more fresh. The eyebrows are mainly wide, and it looks refreshing.

She also asked Yuzhu to comb her hair into a high bun, but the hair accessories didn't need to be too gorgeous and ostentatious.

She only wore two gold hairpins and a gold hairpin with the pattern of Butterfly Love Flower. The rest were small decorative embellishments, which were gorgeous and elegant.

Even someone as serious as Mother Li couldn't help but tease, "If you didn't know, you'd think you were getting married."

"What are you talking about, Madam Li? Today, I am the elder sister-in-law of Miss He Er. I am sending her off to get married, so I cannot let people feel shabby."

"Okay, it's almost time. We should go out and welcome my mother."

The He family also sent an invitation to the Marquis' Mansion, so she also had to go to the door to pick up her mother to watch the show together.

Mother Li knelt down and bowed to her. "Thank you, young lady, for being willing to keep me by your side and serve you."

"Mother Li, you're too polite. I've been very happy to have you here to help me. Now that I have your and my mother's help, I don't know how much easier it is."

Mother Li bowed again and again in gratitude before leaving.

Xue Chenyu led a few maids and went to the gate.

Zhang had brought her daughters-in-law to the door early to receive the guests. She met Xue Chenyu's eyes, and they nodded and smiled at each other in greeting.

The He family is marrying off their daughter today, and it is indeed quite grand.

Before settling the debt with the Wu'an Marquisate, the He family was undoubtedly in decline. But since marrying the daughter of the Xue family and with the support of the Wu'an Marquisate, the He family is now thriving.

First, He Minzhi passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, and then he entered the Hanlin Academy. Who knows, one day he might really be able to enter the cabinet like his father and grandfather.

So when the He family sent out the invitations, all the respectable families came.

Even Ji Minrou's family sent out an invitation, and Mrs. Ji came to the banquet.

Although Xue Chenyu did not know Ji Minrou's mother, Zhang did.

As soon as he saw her, he walked up to her exaggeratedly, "Is this the wife of the Ji family? I haven't seen you for many years, and you haven't changed at all."

"You're too polite, Madam." Mrs. Ji returned the greeting in a calm and polite tone.

Xue Chenyu couldn't help but look at her a few more times. This woman with a calm face and simple dress had traces of Ji Minrou.

In other words, Ji Minrou's appearance is quite similar to her mother's.

But this Mrs. Ji didn't have any of Ji Minrou's uncomfortable feeling of pretending to be weak. Instead, she was pure and clean, which was very strange.

"Mrs. Ji."

Xue Chenyu was the host today, and since Zhang had come forward, there was no reason for her to pretend not to see it.

Mrs. Ji paused and looked at Zhang with some uncertainty, "Second Madam, who is this..."

"Look at me, Madam Ji, you've never met my wife, have you?" Zhang said with a cheerful smile, "This is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an, our Dalang's wife."

When Xue Chenyu and He Minzhi got married, only Ji Minrou's father came to the Ji family, so she naturally couldn't see Xue Chenyu.

Mrs. Ji's face flashed with surprise, "Greetings, Madam."

"Mrs. Ji, there's no need to be so polite. You're an elder after all. Please come in."

Mrs. Ji didn't know what she was thinking, her eyes were a little wandering. As she was about to enter the door, she turned back to look at Xue Chenyu, and then stepped over the threshold without looking back.

Other guests arrived one after another.

Suddenly, she heard Yuzhu whisper in her ear, "Miss, look, it's the Marquis's carriage."

Xue Chenyu followed the direction she pointed and saw the carriage of Wu'an Marquis Mansion stopped in front of the door.

She quickly lifted up her skirt and walked over quickly.

"Auntie!"

Madam Xue helped Mother He get out of the car and saw Xue Chenyu walking towards her quickly. "You are the hostess today, so you can't be so emotional."

"I know, Mother. I know my limits."

Although Xue Chenyu said this, she still took Mrs. Xue's arm and led her inside.

He leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Mother, there's something interesting to watch today. No matter what happens, don't be too surprised."

"I understand." Mrs. Xue's eyes were full of doting.

But behind her doting is her cold murderous intent.
