Chapter 1115: A Family With a Daughter, One Hundred Families

wn to drink tea and have some refreshments, Li Laotai took a close look at Wenjuan and noticed that the circles under her eyes were dark and she looked like she hadn't slept well.She guessed that it m...Such an overt hint caused even the Queen to blush.

Lady Liu thought more deeply about it. Lady Chen's actions showed that she was unreasonable.

If I don't understand today, what if she goes out and spreads the word that our two families are considering a marriage alliance

Even if we finally understand after a struggle, our own family will definitely lose face.

So, she immediately stood up and spoke loudly.

"Mrs. Chen, your daughter's well-being is your concern. You can handle her pride and the whole city choosing a husband for her!

"

But our son, you needn't worry about him. I say that we won't get him married in the next two or three years!

"I hope Mrs. Chen will not think about other people's sons carelessly in the future. If something goes wrong, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Having said that, she nodded to Lady Wang and returned to the front hall where the banquet was being held.

Because the weather was hot, the ladies who came to the banquet couldn't sit still and would sometimes go for walks in groups.

The commotion, of course, was heard.

Thus, Madam Wang persuaded Madam Chen to also appear in the banquet hall, and everyone's gaze was filled with gossip.

Mrs. Chen was merely arrogant and self-important, but she wasn't stupid.

Of course, she couldn't stay any longer. She made up an excuse about something at home and left early.

Needless to say, the Chen and Liu families had a feud.

After the banquet, Lady Liu went home and immediately told her husband everything that had happened.

Liu Zhizhen kicked his legs in anger, “That Chen family girl, after being reprimanded by the county princess, already lost all face. Later, she brazenly spoke at the jewelry store and claimed she was removed from the selection list for a concubine.”

"What a fool! Who would dare to marry someone like this They must have water in their brains!"

They, the Chen family, think we, the Liu family, are fools! To even dare to covet our son!

Old Master Liu was also unhappy. Both Zhimin and Xiujie grew up in front of him, so he naturally loved them more.

He had just set his eyes on his old friend's granddaughter during this childhood visit, and he hoped that when things improved, he would try to get the two children to interact more.

As a result, the Chen family actually had the audacity to come forward.

"Humph, the Chen family probably still thinks our family is oblivious. Don't pay them any mind, just remember this.

"The situation is not good now, and anyone with a little sense wouldn't easily cause trouble."

"When things calm down later, even if the Chen family doesn't take any action against us, our family will also make them suffer a little bit, to teach them a lesson."

Liu Zhiheng and Mrs. Liu both agreed and let bygones be bygones for now.

But Mrs. Chen couldn't accept this, her precious daughter being rejected was a huge humiliation for her.

After she returned home, she also went to her husband to cry and complain, hoping that her husband would make the decision for her and her daughter.

But Master Chen was more focused on whether his niece could gain the favor of the Crown Prince, and bear a son for the royal family early on, thus bringing glory to the clan.

Where's the time to care about an useless daughter and a nagging wife

If he had this free time, he would rather hold his concubine and listen to her flattery for a few words.

Thus, Madam Chen stirred up trouble outside and threw a tantrum at home, nearly losing her life.

Once she finally managed to get up, she began to make arrangements for her daughter's marriage, vowing to find a wealthy husband for her.

But these days, reputation is incredibly important for a young woman.

After all, no one can just squat in someone's courtyard for days to get to know them properly. It's all just hearsay and word of mouth.

Miss Chen's "brilliant" deeds were the most widely circulated in Xindu, even bedridden mothers in peasant households had heard of this commotion.

So, respectable families didn't even consider Miss Chen.

On the other hand, some merchants or fallen families wanted to use Chen Shilang's influence to facilitate their own businesses.

Mrs. Chen looked around for a while, becoming increasingly frustrated, and finally resigned herself to the situation.

She took her female friend back to her hometown in another province for a short stay, and found a scholar living nearby whose family was simple.

Of course, all of that is water under the bridge.

After the lively selection of a consort, it was the third princess's turn to get married.

The princess mansion, which had been built long ago, was located two streets away from the imperial palace. It was also a place where wealthy families gathered, and even the Lu family lived only seven or eight households away from the princess mansion.

Over the past few days, officials from the Ministry of Rites brought a number of artisans to thoroughly inspect the Princess's mansion again, striving to make it even more magnificent and grand, neat and tidy.

Feng Gonggong was so eager to please that he wished he could run a marathon. He repeatedly sent over the things Princess Three usually used, and then arranged them according to her preferences.

As for the dowry, it will be moved in with the wedding procession when she gets married.

The Lu family also came with many people, sending some items commonly used by the young master.

But compared to a princess, these things are far too few.

Whether it's because the Crown Prince is usually frugal, or he doesn't plan to reside at the Princess Mansion permanently...

The day before the wedding, Jia Yin brought Shui Ling and Shui Yun back to the palace to help the Third Princess with her makeup.

Guo Qingqing and Mei Lan, Xu Xi and a few others who were inconvenient, all entrusted their gifts to Jia Yin.

As for the pearl, Jia Erfu feared that his daughter might speak indiscreetly and cause trouble if she entered the palace. He firmly stopped her.

In just a few days, the third princess had lost weight. Jia Yin felt heartache seeing this and wanted to advise her, but she couldn't. For a moment, her eyes turned red with concern.

It was Third Princess who thought a lot, and instead hugged Jiayin, comforting her, "Why are you crying I'm fine. Tomorrow I'm getting married and escaping this human-eating cage."

"In the future, I'll have my own princess mansion and so much dowry. When I give birth to a child, I won't fear anything. By then, we can make plans to go shopping and play together. How carefree that would be!"

Jia Yin nodded, trying hard to control her emotions, then smiled and took out the gift box with makeup.

Xu Xi and Mei Lan, Gu Qingqing and others listened to the advice and prepared everything with their own hands.

There is a double-faced embroidered set of fans, mandarin duck shoes adorned with rice grain pearls, and a gauze curtain embroidered with hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren.

This all takes effort, it's clear that everyone is putting their all into it.

The third princess was delighted, looking at this and touching that, she couldn't bear to let go.

Of course, the princess still preferred Jia Yin's set of jewelry and gold tokens.

She laughed playfully, "You know me best. With this brand now, the shopkeeper of Baiyun Pavilion will have a headache, I'll have people fetch fresh pastries every day."

"Just have whatever you want, this amount of money I can afford it. Who doesn't know me as Little God of Wealth!" Jia Yin put on a carefree and wealthy air, making the Third Princess laugh again.

After chatting for a while, the Third Princess had tea and snacks prepared, then took Jiayin to the garden to enjoy the breeze and flowers.

As a result, the two of them bumped into the Crown Prince as soon as they reached the garden.

The Crown Prince was quite surprised and smiled, "I had a headache from reviewing memorials and came out for a walk. I didn't expect to run into both of you sisters."

The Third Princess and Jiayin naturally wouldn't drive him away, inviting him to sit with them.

The weather is still as hot as ever, but sitting on the Shuige Pavilion, with the breeze blowing the water vapor, there's a bit of coolness, it's very pleasant.

The three of them were familiar with each other, and when they spoke, they had no reservations whatsoever. They were having a great time for a while.

But at this moment, uninvited guests arrived, shattering the tranquility.

A strikingly beautiful woman in a water-red dress, accompanied by two maids, walked over gracefully, stopping from time to time to pick flowers or chase butterflies, fully displaying her alluring figure and "innocent and vivacious" demeanor.
