The cousin's family is extremely wealthy; she deserves to be a concubine.

She wanted to push open the door and go out to argue with Xin's mother, but she took a step forward and then pulled back.

He Zhihuan wondered, "Am I supposed to go and have a fight with my mother-in-law?"

First, He Zhihuan wouldn't resort to shrewish behavior like a shrew.

Secondly, if a new bride argues with her mother-in-law, whether she is right or wrong, it is disrespectful to her elders, and she cannot do this on the first day of her marriage.

In this way, she would not only be unable to gain a foothold in the Xin family, but she might also damage the reputation of the Marquis's mansion.

The joy of He Zhihuan's wedding was instantly dampened by the behavior of the Xin family mother and son.

This was merely the tip of the iceberg of her perception of the ugly faces of the Xin family mother and son.

The mother and son outside were still passing the buck over the matter of the wedding dress.

Xin Yucheng: "Mother, you must have heard the wrong thing?"

When I was picking up the bride today, I made a point of noticing that the cousin's wedding dress was clearly different from my wife's.

And that cousin's wedding dress looked much more gorgeous.

In contrast, the wedding dress his wife wore was an insult to her status as a daughter of a marquis.

But this whole thing was started by my mother, so Xin Yucheng can't exactly blame He Zhihuan, can he?

Seeing the reproachful look in her son's eyes, Xin's mother retorted, "How could that be! I would never be wrong."

Since it involved interests, Xin Yucheng also felt that the possibility of her mother being wrong was too small.

Since things have come to this, they can only swallow this bitter pill, since their family can't even get close to the Marquis's mansion.

Can the Xin family decide what clothes their cousin should wear on her wedding day?

Xin's mother instructed her own son to start moving things into the house, saying, "Look at you, how can you be so useless?"

Having finally managed to establish a connection with the Marquis's mansion, they ended up rescuing a useless illegitimate second young lady.

"If you had saved a legitimate daughter of a marquis, your mother wouldn't have needed to scheme like this, only to end up with nothing!"

"Luckily, her aunt had secretly contacted us beforehand, hoping we could help her get a bigger share of the dowry. I, this old woman, thought we could get much more, but this is all?"

"What a waste of all my scheming!"

"You're not exactly clever either. There are so many people around today. Even if you can't just manage to get a couple more dowry items from over there, I'll still admire you."

Xin Yucheng sighed helplessly, "Mother, look at my clothes."

He pointed to his wedding attire, "I don't know how many eyes are on me today."

"If I did what you said and just grabbed the bride and stole her dowry, I wouldn't be able to show my face in public tomorrow."

Xin's mother was still dissatisfied, "It's also about welcoming a daughter-in-law. As the mother-in-law, I can't go. If I go, will our family suffer any losses?"

Xin Yucheng echoed, "Yes, yes, yes."

In the Jiang family courtyard, Jiang's mother was stunned by Hua Sirong's dowry.

Jiang Yilian couldn't help but tug at her mother's sleeve, "These are just things that my sister-in-law usually uses."

I heard that my sister-in-law's relatives bought her a house in the capital. Although the location is a bit out of the way, it's much bigger than our little courtyard.

“My brother said our courtyard is too small to hold so many things, so he made the decision for my sister-in-law to put most of her dowry in the outer house.”

Jiang's mother felt a moment of disappointment, but thinking about her daughter-in-law's dowry, she realized she couldn't gain much advantage anyway, and it wouldn't matter much where it was placed, so she felt somewhat relieved.

"So many things left out there, even if they're all just cloth, would be worth a lot of money. I wonder if the people your sister-in-law arranged to look after the house are reliable?"

"Hey, how about I go and look after your sister-in-law's house?"

Jiang Yilian suppressed a laugh, "My goodness, if you go to see the house, my new sister-in-law will be in charge of this little courtyard."

Jiang's mother immediately dismissed the idea, "No, this family can't do without me."

"You lot, you'd spend every single copper coin like it's worth two; how are you supposed to live a decent life?"

"Besides, now that your sister-in-law has joined the family, there's another mouth to feed. Oh, no, two mouths to feed. I saw she brought a chubby little girl with her; she looks like she can eat a lot."

"Oh dear, just thinking about feeding two more mouths is giving me a terrible headache. I need to get your brother to spend more money."

Jiang Yilian blinked. "Mother, don't you want to hold your grandson anymore? Who's been eyeing Aunt Wang's grandson next door all day?"

Jiang's mother slapped Jiang Yilian, "You brat, I took two extra taels of silver from your brother, and in the end, it all went to you."

"You heartless little brat, you're trying to sabotage my efforts!"

Jiang Yilian stepped aside to prevent her mother's slap from landing on her again. "My brother gives me money for household expenses every month. It's just that you're old and forgetful, Mother. You're asking my brother again."

Jiang's mother was furious, but fearing that her voice would be too loud and her new daughter-in-law would hear, she dusted herself off and went to the kitchen.

Jiang Yilian took off running ahead of her mother.

"You brat, what are you doing?"

Jiang Yilian had already nimbly emerged from the kitchen, carrying a tray with two bowls of noodles and two plates of snacks.

"I'll take it to my sister-in-law."

Jiang's mother laughed and spat at her, "You sycophant, remember to knock!"

After saying that, he went into the kitchen to tidy up.

The banquet was long over, and all the people who had come to help had left. There were still some chores to finish up at home, which Jiang's mother planned to do herself.

Jiang Yilian remembered her mother's instructions and knocked on the door!

But her hands were busy, and she was hesitating whether to yell "Sister-in-law!" when the door to the new room suddenly opened.

It was none other than the chubby girl, Chunyan.

Chunyan was a little nervous when she first arrived at the Jiang family with Hua Sirong.

But when she saw Jiang Yilian with a bright smile, holding two bowls of noodles, the scales in her heart unconsciously tipped.

The Chiang family are good people.

She took the tray from Jiang Yilian, thanked her first, and then invited the person into the house.

Hua Sirong had already lifted her red veil and, seeing Jiang Yilian arrive, stood up to greet her with a smile.

"This must be my little sister Lian'er, she's so pretty." As she spoke, she handed the gold bracelet in her hand back to Jiang Yilian.

The whole process was smooth and effortless. Jiang Yilian was initially stunned by her sister-in-law's beauty, but before she knew it, her wrist felt heavy.

It's true love!

Jiang Yilian grew up in the streets and alleys, and she was very good at talking. "Sister-in-law is so beautiful. I have never seen anyone more beautiful than her."

"Sister-in-law, are you hungry? Come and eat some noodles."

After saying that, he looked at the gold bracelet in his hand again, and secretly tossed it twice. Oh my, it was really heavy.

In the end, she steeled herself and looked away from his burning gaze, tilting her head as she said, "This bracelet is too valuable; I can't accept it."

Hua Sirong stopped her from taking the bracelet, and looked at her sister-in-law with a smile, her face full of affection and reluctance. "It's for you, so take it."
