Upon arriving at the wedding venue, Zhan Shu'er did nothing else. Seeing Yin Yin beside her, she smiled and told her not to worry, assuring her that she would not disturb Zhan Zheng's wedding.

While this was part of the reason, Yin Yin believed that she had angered Zhan Huier today, causing Zhan Huier's image to collapse in front of the young ladies of various families, completely kicking her out of the core circle of noble ladies in the capital, and cutting off her future opportunities to rise up with these connections.

Yinyin glanced at Zhan Shuer, who was smiling beside her, and silently warned herself. Some things, either don't do them at all, or do them thoroughly, otherwise, if someone turns the tables on you, you'll be the only one who suffers.

Of course, never underestimate anyone.

After the wedding ceremony, Yinyin did not return to Linshi Diecui. Instead, she took the food she had prepared that morning to the bridal chamber to spend some time with her sister-in-law.

The old woman guarding the gate was a member of the Zhan family. When she saw Yinyin coming from afar, she went in to report to her. As soon as Yinyin approached, she was invited inside.

Yinyin originally thought there weren't many people in the room, but she didn't expect that in addition to the bride Wang Yingman and her several maids, there was also an exceptionally serious old woman.

Yinyin had met Wang Yingman before, so when she saw her, she naturally greeted her first: "Sister Yinyin is here."

As a daughter of the Wang family, Wang Yingman's manners were naturally impeccable, even more elegant and natural than Xun Wan's usual deliberate attempts to maintain a certain air. However, when she adopted this demeanor towards Yin Yin, she inevitably appeared somewhat distant.

Yin Yin wasn't surprised. They were complete strangers who had only met once. Whether they were warm or not depended on their personalities. If Wang Yingman continued to act this way after spending more time together, then Yin Yin would naturally have to adjust her approach to her.

“Sister-in-law,” Yin Yin said with a smile, as she handed the food box to the Wang family’s maid. “It’s time for dinner now, and my brother asked me to bring you some food to tide you over. Don’t worry, sister-in-law, I specifically didn’t ask for anything too soupy, and the portions are just the right size to eat.”

Actually, she didn't need to say anything; the servants of the Wang family had all seen it. Because of her thoughtfulness, even the originally stern old woman softened her expression.

Surprisingly, Wang Yingman only glanced at it briefly before saying apologetically, "Thank you for coming all this way, Sister Yinyin. I really don't have much of an appetite right now, and I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."

As soon as these words were spoken, before Yin Yin could say anything, all the servants of the Wang family lowered their heads. The old woman opened her mouth as if to say something, but seeing Yin Yin right in front of her, she didn't say anything.

Yinyin, still concealing herself with her sleeve, pressed her fingers together to suppress her thoughts: "Is Sister-in-law too nervous? Don't be afraid, Mother is very kind to us. You'll see for yourself tomorrow morning."

Looking into Yin Yin's clear, watery eyes, Wang Yingman lowered her eyelids and said, "Yin Yin, you're easy to get along with too."

Yinyin gave a pure and innocent smile: "What you said makes me a little shy, but I also think I'm very easy to get along with!"

Hearing this, Wang Yingman's expression softened, and she said a few more words to her.

After Yinyin stayed with them for a while, someone came to tell them: "Young Master and the others are coming this way!"

Yinyin quickly stood up: "Sister-in-law, please sit down. I'll go keep Mother company first."

Before Zhan Zheng and the others arrived, Yin Yin led Dong Xin out.

They walked quickly and arrived safely at Yu Miaoqi's side.

Later that evening, Yu Miaoqi made a point of keeping Yinyin behind: "It's getting chilly, and we'll have to come early tomorrow morning, so let's save ourselves the trouble of running around!"

Yinyin noticed her wistfulness after the excitement, but didn't point it out. Instead, she took her arm and said, "Mother still loves me the most. Are you hungry right now? There's chicken soup simmering in the kitchen. How about we have someone make a bowl of thin noodles with the soup to warm your stomach?"

Yu Miaoqi hesitated and said, "It's late at night, eating too much can easily cause indigestion."

“Then tell them to make the portions smaller. It would be so uncomfortable to go to bed hungry,” Yin Yin said, looking at Hong Fu. “I’d like to trouble you, Sister Hong Fu, to make sure you tell them to only add a tiny bit of salt to the chicken soup. There’s no need to add any other seasonings. The noodles should only be a few bites’ worth, but they must be very thin.”

Seeing that Yu Miaoqi did not object, Hongfu smiled and went down to give instructions.

Only the mother and daughter remained in the room. Yu Miaoqi couldn't help but ask, "Yinyin, how did you get along with your sister-in-law just now?"

“Not bad,” Yinyin held out her hand, showing a tiny bit of her fingernail. “Although my sister-in-law was a little nervous at first, she got better after saying a few more words!”

Seeing that she didn't seem reluctant, Yu Miaoqi breathed a sigh of relief and waited to eat with her before resting for a while.

The next morning, Yu Miaoqi woke up before dawn and tossed and turned, and Yinyin woke up as well.

"mother?"

Yu Miaoqi paused, "Did I wake you up?"

Yinyin rubbed her eyes: "No, I woke up around the same time too."

Yinyin sat up: "We're already awake, why don't we get up and wash up first?"

Normally, Yu Miaoqi could easily tell whether Yin Yin was telling the truth or not, but at this moment, she didn't have time to think about it and got up as she was told.

After washing up, he asked Yin Yin several times, "Does this jewelry suit me?"

Yinyin patiently replied, "It suits you very well and looks great on you, Mother. You look like a gentle and kind mother-in-law."

Once Yu Miaoqi was satisfied with her own appearance, she started to fuss over Yin Yin's clothes.

Fortunately, after only a few changes, someone came back and said that the young master and young mistress had arrived and there wasn't enough time, so Yu Miaoqi didn't ask Yin Yin's hair to be combed again.

Yu Miaoqi sat in the main seat, with Yinyin sitting beside her. Soon after, Zhan Zheng and Wang Yingman walked in.

The two were quite well-matched, one handsome and the other dignified, but Yin Yin didn't think they were very close.

She glanced at Yu Miaoqi subconsciously and noticed that the smile on her face had faded slightly.

After exchanging greetings, Yu Miaoqi gave Wang Yingman a pair of bracelets with excellent quality, and then let them go to the old master's place.

After the two left, Yu Miaoqi sat in her seat, still in a daze for a long time.

"Mother, are you overjoyed?"

Yu Miaoqi shook her head, ultimately not telling Yin Yin what was on her mind, but the joy in her eyes was indeed not as strong as before.
