A crazy beauty has an island, and a powerful figure from that era dotes on her.

The old man wanted to eat a cream cake, so Lu Manxue dared not delay and immediately set off.

Qin Mengjie breathed a sigh of relief as the baby was taken away.

"Ugh..." A wave of nausea washed over her, and Lu Xingqing covered her mouth as she rushed to the bathroom again.

Qin Mengjie frowned as she looked in the direction of the bathroom, her eyes revealing undisguised worry.

"Second Aunt, is Xingqing alright? Should we take her to the hospital to get her checked out?" Lu Xingning was also a little worried.

She vomits after eating just a little; how can her body withstand that?

"That's normal for pregnant women, it'll get better after a while," Liu Qiyu said dismissively.

Severe morning sickness indicates that the baby in the womb is healthy and active.

There was no reaction at all, which was actually bad.

"Is that how it is?" Lu Xingning looked at her mother.

Why didn't she see her sister-in-law vomit?

Qin Mengjie glared at her, signaling her to stop talking nonsense.

"Sister-in-law, has the date for Yu Jing and Yi Yi been set?" Liu Qiyu suddenly remembered what the old lady had said before.

"The ninth day of next month." Qin Mengjie's face was full of smiles when she talked about her son and daughter-in-law's wedding.

The date was chosen by a fortune teller consulted by the old lady.

The old man and Lu Yaozong didn't believe in those things, but the old lady did!

"The ninth day is an auspicious day; may it last forever," Liu Qiyu praised.

Having been sisters-in-law for decades, Liu Qiyu naturally knew what Qin Mengjie liked to hear.

"Aunt, will you still give a bride price?" Bai Shanshan suddenly blurted out.

These words stunned everyone present.

Should the bride price be returned?

What family doesn't give a bride price when they get married?!

This is what I asked...

I'm so sorry to be so forward!

"Bai Shanshan, are you joking? What family doesn't give a bride price when they get a daughter-in-law?" Lu Xingning didn't like listening to her talk.

"I was just thinking that since my sister-in-law is already living with Yu Jing, it would be too awkward to talk about the bride price!" Bai Shanshan blinked twice.

“My brother and sister-in-law got their marriage certificate a long time ago. Once they got the certificate, they are a legally married couple. Is there a problem with a legally married couple living together?” Lu Xingning said coldly.

"Besides, the bride price was given by my parents, and they didn't say anything. What's it to you!"

In Lu Xingning's heart, her sister-in-law was just like her own sister.

Anyone who tries to bully her own sister will have to get past her first.

"Lu Xingning, what did I say?" Bai Shanshan didn't expect Lu Xingning to start arguing with her face to face.

"You don't know what you said?!" Lu Xingning has never been one to be bullied.

In their family, no one except her grandparents, parents, brother, sister-in-law, and sister can bully her.

Qin Mengjie was also annoyed by this niece.

But she is an elder, and there are some things that younger people can say, but she, as an elder, cannot say.

You can't speak, but you can listen.

and so……

Qin Mengjie chose to sit and listen.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just want to give your best friend to my brother, don't you?"

"She doesn't even look at herself. Small nose and small eyes, yet she has the nerve to get close to my brother. She deserves to get heatstroke." Lu Xingning got more and more excited as she spoke.

"Lu Xingning, who are you calling small-nosed and small-eyed?" Bai Shanshan said angrily.

“Tell me about your good friend An Sisi.” Lu Xingning wasn’t afraid of her at all.

In this family, she fears no one except her grandparents, parents, brother, sister-in-law, and sister.

"With her looks, she's not even worthy of carrying my sister-in-law's shoes."

"Auntie, look at Lu Xingning..." Bai Shanshan stamped her foot to call for help.

"Don't drag me into your business..." Qin Mengjie said with a smile and a doting tone.

But they showed absolutely no intention of helping or standing up for us.

“My sister-in-law is the top scorer in the national college entrance examination, and what’s that An Sisi again…” Lu Xingning pretended to think for a moment.

“Oh, someone with connections.” Lu Xingning dragged out the last three words.

That sarcastic tone infuriated Bai Shanshan.

"you……"

"Someone who needs connections to even get into high school, what makes him comparable to my sister-in-law?" Lu Xingning raised her chin slightly, quite smug.

“Lu Xingning…” Bai Shanshan roared.

The sharp sound startled everyone playing chess and chatting in the courtyard.

"What are you two arguing about again?" The old lady walked in front.

Although Lu Xingning and Bai Shanshan are the same age, they have never gotten along since they were little.

Whenever they get together, they either fight or make a scene.

In the end, even the adults got too tired to seek justice for them.

This situation continued until the two entered junior high school, at which point it began to improve.

Unexpectedly, the two started arguing again.

"Lu Xingning scolded my friend for getting heatstroke and said that my friend wasn't even worthy of carrying her sister-in-law's shoes," Bai Shanshan complained first.

“It was Bai Shanshan who started talking about my sister-in-law. Bai Shanshan said that since my sister-in-law and my brother live together, we don’t need to give a bride price. What does she mean? My sister-in-law and my brother are married, so why can’t they live together?” Lu Xingning hurriedly added.

They were afraid of being taken advantage of if they spoke too slowly.

"Bai Shanshan, have you wasted all your education? Can't you tell what's important and what's not?" The old lady exploded.

"Yi Yi and Jing Jing have already registered their marriage. What business is it of yours if the young couple lives together? Why should you meddle in other people's business? Why should you talk about the bride price? What, can't your uncle and aunt afford to get a daughter-in-law? Can't afford the bride price? Do you need to speak up for them?"

In the old lady's heart, the entire Lu family combined was not as important as her Jingjing.

Not to mention that Jian Qingyi is pregnant with her great-grandson.

In the past, Lu Manxue had also felt resentful, thinking that her biological mother favored Lu Yujing and didn't care about her.

Before she could finish complaining, the old lady gave her a good scolding.

From then on, Lu Manxue behaved herself.

She also realized her own position.

"Bai Xuheng, is this how you usually teach your daughter? Is this the kind of upbringing your Bai family has? Disrespectful to her elder brother and sister-in-law, your Bai family really has a fine family tradition!" The old lady did not forget to drag Bai Xuheng, who was pretending to be dead, out to "whip his corpse."

"Mom, I'll definitely discipline Shanshan properly when I get back," Bai Xuheng said with a smile.

As he spoke, he glared at Bai Shanshan.

His expression clearly showed disappointment and frustration.

The old lady's favoritism towards Lu Yujing was open and honest; she never tried to hide it.

If anyone dares to say a bad word about Lu Yujing, the old lady will be the first to not let him off the hook.

Back then, the old lady and the old man almost parted ways because of Lu Yujing's joining the army.

If Lu Yujing hadn't rushed back to persuade her, the old lady would have really dragged the old man to get a divorce.

Lu Yujing was the old lady's heart and soul, her most precious treasure.

She spoke ill of Lu Yujing; wasn't that just rubbing salt into the wound of the old lady?

Bai Shanshan lowered her head, her eyes red, and dared not utter a sound.

“Mom, you’re exaggerating. Shanshan is still young, what does she know?” Lu Yaozu came out to persuade her.

"She's still young. When I was her age, I had already given birth to your older brother." The old lady gave her a cold look.

"You also have a daughter. If people say your daughter doesn't deserve a bride price, would you be happy?" One sentence left Lu Yaozu speechless.
