Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

The fact that Madam Xie only sent palace flowers to Shen Ruyin quickly reached the ears of those who needed to know.

The second young lady was furious, and Aunt Xu also cursed a few times. However, Aunt Xu had just been cold to the Earl and did not dare to cause trouble over such a hairpin.

Moreover, the second daughter's wedding is just around the corner, and Aunt Xu has to keep an eye on the wedding ceremony and try to get more dowry, so she really doesn't have any free time.

After the second daughter got married, Shen Ruyin's wedding arrangements were also made.

"Miss, you look so beautiful today," Qingzhi exclaimed, her eyes filled with admiration. "Even the fairies in heaven must look just like you today."

Shen Ruyin was pleased by the compliment, but then asked, "So you think I wasn't pretty enough before?"

Qingzhi's eyes widened: "How could this be!"

"Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you," Shen Ruyin laughed. "Go outside and take a look."

Qingzhi agreed and was about to leave when she saw Qingluo hurriedly walk in.

"Miss, the second young lady is coming this way."

Second girl?

Shen Ruyin said, "Let her come. Today is my wedding day. It would be strange if she didn't come."

Qingluo nodded and decided to stay inside the house to keep watch.

Before long, Shen Ruyun arrived. Today she was dressed in a brocade robe, wearing a ruby ​​headdress, and her makeup made her even more beautiful.

"Oh, Third Sister, are you all dressed up already? It's my fault for lingering a bit longer and arriving late."

Today is Shen Ruyin's wedding day, yet she is dressed so strikingly that the wedding matron who has not yet left is somewhat surprised.

Shen Ruyin, the person directly involved, showed no annoyance whatsoever.

"After my second sister got married, she rarely returned to the mansion. After her husband was sent to a post in another region, it will probably be many years before we see each other again. Now is the time to take advantage of this opportunity to reconnect with my old confidantes."

After hearing what she said, the second young lady's expression changed slightly, and she forced a smile and said, "Nothing today is as important as your wedding, Third Sister. It's not like I can't meet them at other banquets."

“Yes,” Shen Ruyin smiled and said nothing more.

The second young lady's face turned even uglier. If those people had fawned over her as before when she was outside, she would have definitely waited until the very last moment to come in.

But those close friends from before are gone.

To them, Shen Ruyun's marriage to a scholar meant she was no longer on the same social class as the girls still from noble families.

They were originally brought together by mutual interests, but now that there are no more benefits, they naturally won't be as close as before.

Perhaps sensing the quietness inside, several other young ladies arrived together shortly after the second young lady entered.

Among them were those who had a good relationship with Shen Ruyin before, and quite a few who were even closer to the Second Miss.

"I was wondering why I hadn't seen Yun'er outside. Turns out she's in the village talking with Sister Yin," a girl said with a smile, mentioning the second sister before turning her attention to Shen Ruyin.

"Sister Yin looks so beautiful today, I was completely mesmerized."

“Yes, yes,” a girl chimed in, “Sister Yin rarely dresses so glamorously before. I’m a little taken aback when I see her like this now. I thought she was a fairy descended from heaven.”

"Is it really that beautiful?" Shen Ruyin laughed. "Then I'll have to hold the mirror and look at myself a few more times later."

“Look, she’s already out of breath just as I’m praising her.”

"Then you all praise me, can't I even be happy?" Shen Ruyin's hair ornaments were heavy, and she dared not move them casually. "After all, I'm getting married today, so you all have to say good things about me. When you get married in the future, I'll also flatter you."

"Good girl, I never knew you had such a silver tongue. When you host a banquet, be sure to send me an invitation. I love your quick wit."

Everyone was talking to Shen Ruyin, leaving the second young lady standing aside, which infuriated her.

He then spoke up, saying, "In the past, my third sister was like a saw-off gourd when she was outside, but today, seeing how happy she is about her wedding, she has become much more talkative."

Inside, the girls who were chatting and laughing were either wiping their faces with handkerchiefs or looking at the decorations, but none of them responded to her.

Shen Ruyun knew this principle; surely other girls understood it too?

But everyone has their own troubles. In the past, Shen Ruyun was always competitive and domineering, always looking down on her older and younger sisters. Everyone knew that.

Besides, did she really think that secrets about this marriage exchange were truly kept hidden? The girls certainly had their own sources of information in private.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruyin's expression shifted slightly: "Second sister is right. I'm happy, so naturally I talk more. But why has second sister become so quiet since getting married?"

“Yes,” a girl who was on good terms with Shen Ruyin chimed in, “Shen Ruyin’s second sister used to be the most eloquent. Now that she’s married into a scholarly family, has she started to abide by the rules of scholars?”

"It is said that scholarly families have strict rules, never stepping out of their homes, and always smiling without showing their teeth, being gentle and virtuous."

"Given your past temperament, it will probably take a lot of effort to change it now, second sister of the Shen family."

Seeing that the second daughter was pushed to her feet and was about to lose her temper again, one of the girls who used to be on good terms with her quickly came to pull her back: "Good sister, your husband's family is not as powerful as your own family. You must be living a good life now. It was hard to say outside, but now it's just the sisters and me in the house. Tell us quickly."

The girl meant well, saying that since the second daughter was marrying down, she would definitely be pampered in her husband's family and everything would go smoothly for her. The filthy things the other girls were talking about earlier had nothing to do with her.

What she didn't expect was that although her second daughter's husband was sensible, her mother-in-law wanted to control her.

Even a family with a scholarly tradition still cares about its reputation; they speak and act with propriety and reason.

But the second daughter's husband's family was actually just a farming and scholarly family; her mother-in-law, to put it bluntly, was a country peasant woman. When she threw a tantrum, it was enough to give the second daughter a hard time.

Fortunately, the second daughter was also sharp-tongued, and with her brother-in-law mediating, things didn't escalate outside.

However, the second brother-in-law, a scholar, was not good at handling the relationship between his wife and his elderly mother, which made his mother think that her son had forgotten his mother after getting a wife, and she wanted to control his wife even more.

Even the unmarried aunt, who was also envious of the second daughter's beautiful jewelry, sided with her mother.

The second daughter has been suffering a lot these past few months since her marriage. If it weren't for her brother-in-law's ability to comfort her, she would have regretted the arranged marriage long ago.

But seeing that Shen Ruyin's wedding was more lively than hers, how could she be willing to accept it? Otherwise, she wouldn't have dressed up so elegantly and dazzlingly to attend the wedding.

Shen Ruyin, who knew the plot, was naturally aware of these things, but she pretended not to know and watched helplessly as the girl who was on good terms with the second young lady spoke words that hurt her deeply.
