Chapter 108 Chi Yunjing Loses His Temper
Upon hearing this, Haijin paused in his steps.
But the peace was quickly restored. He and his cousin had been through a lot together: the joy of childhood, the naivety of adolescence, the misunderstandings of adulthood. Now, everything had become a mark of the past, leaving them only with happiness.
We went out and walked all the way to the front hall.
Here, amidst the clinking of glasses, everyone awaited the arrival of the bride. Through the round fan, Chi Guiwan vaguely saw Qiao Er, who was also dressed in fiery red today. He smiled broadly, revealing his white teeth, clearly overjoyed at the occasion of his wedding.
Upon seeing the person approaching, he strode forward, intending to help Chi Guiwan up, but was stopped by the second young master, Haiyu, who was standing beside him.
"Wait, we haven't even started the wedding ceremony yet, so stop touching me! I'll help you up!"
Hearing his words, Qiao Er hummed twice. Although he didn't say anything, he made a mental note of it. Anyway, he was getting married first and wasn't afraid. When Hai Yu got married, he would have to give her a big gift in return!
He took the red silk and stood side by side with Chi Guiwan.
In the main hall, only Chi Yunjing sat upright. As for the mother's seat, it was replaced by a screen that was Madam Hai's favorite when she was alive, on which was embroidered her own image.
The matchmaker shouted three times, and amidst the cheers of the crowd, the couple's formalities at the bride's home were considered complete. If Chi Yunjing didn't act like a loving father now, when would he?
So he pretended to wipe away his tears and said to Chi Guiwan.
"Elder sister, after you marry him, you must live a harmonious life with your husband."
"Daughter obeys father's command."
Hearing this, Qiao Er, who was standing nearby, also clasped his hands in a gesture of assurance and said so.
"Father-in-law, rest assured, the entire Qiao family will treat Madam well!"
"Don't worry, don't worry!"
The two exchanged polite words, and then Qiao Er led Chi Guiwan out the door and into the bridal sedan chair, making quite a lively scene with music and fanfare.
The dowry was carried in sixty-six loads, and each box was much larger than the usual dowry boxes. Looking at the strong men carrying the boxes, all of them were sweating profusely, and you could tell how lavish Chi Guiwan's dowry was.
"The Vice Minister's family is really extravagant when it comes to marrying off their daughter. They've given so many things; they're really willing to spend so much!"
"What? This is all thanks to the Marquis of Haibo's mansion. When Madam Hai married into the family, her dowry was a full 108-bearer procession. Everyone in Bianzhou knew about it. Now that her only daughter is getting married, how could the Marquis of Haibo's mansion not add to the dowry!"
"I see."
"You still need a strong family to back you up!"
The people chatted amongst themselves, but their words were full of envy for Chi Guiwan. Qianchun and Fudong, who were walking alongside the bridal sedan chair, heard this and felt proud of themselves.
Not far away, He Lingyi looked at her mother and her new husband standing in the congratulatory hall and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, she gave her mother a good outcome, and her trip was worthwhile.
However, the pain in her arm reminded her that she still had grudges to settle, so she wiped the smile off her face and returned to the Vice Minister's residence.
The people who came to offer their congratulations gradually dispersed, leaving behind only those who were relatively close to the Chi family. They wanted to join in the fun and hear about the series of events that had occurred in the backyard, but unfortunately, they were all persuaded to go back by Old Madam Chi.
Such a major event has happened in the family; it can be kept secret for a while, but not forever.
Chi Yunjing never expected that the verbal calamity the old Taoist priest had predicted would not be caused by Chi Guiying leading the Guo family to cause trouble earlier, but rather today.
The daughter-in-law and mother-in-law got into a fight, revealing each other's dirty laundry.
Even more recklessly, a maid pushed down the future Crown Princess, injuring her.
The room was full of noblewomen, and from today onwards, everyone's attention would be focused on the Chi family's affairs. Even if they didn't say anything to his face, who knows what they would say about the Vice Minister's mansion behind his back.
Thinking of all this, Chi Yunjing wished he could immediately summon the family law and beat Chi Guiying to death!
May all of you, including Lü's mother, go to hell!
So, in the main hall of the inner courtyard, after he understood everything, he stood up and bowed to He Lingyi.
"It was an oversight on the part of our Vice Minister's residence that caused Miss He's innocent injury. Rest assured, I will definitely give you an explanation! I will never let that girl live any longer!"
Wen Xia is doomed, but she cannot die today!
Otherwise, ruining my mother's good marriage prospects would be a real loss.
"These are family matters within the Vice Minister's residence, and I cannot say much about them. Uncle Chi can handle them as he sees fit. But there is one thing: the Lü family is far too arrogant. First, there was the evil of the Qixi Festival, and now they have started a fight indiscriminately on the occasion of my eldest sister's wedding. They simply do not respect the Vice Minister's residence! It is true that her family has produced a beauty, but how can her status be compared with that of the Vice Minister's residence? They have caused trouble like this time and time again. If Uncle Chi still treats them lightly, I am afraid that they will become a laughing stock in Bianzhou City in the future."
Upon hearing the words "laughingstock," a ruthless glint flashed across Chi Yunjing's face.
Old Mrs. Chi chimed in with her own scathing remarks, "They've gone mad! This should have been a glorious occasion for our family, and these two have ruined it. You can decide what to do with Madam Lü, but Second Sister can't be allowed to live! She's spilled all the family secrets, showing no regard for her own reputation or her family. What's the point of her living? She'd be better off dead!"
Should we kill him?
That's actually a good deal for her!
But in the current situation, only killing him could quell the hatred in her heart, so He Lingyi said no more.
He stood up and then spoke.
"My godmother had to escort the bride, so she left a little earlier. Before she left, she specifically told me to return to the manor as soon as possible, so I won't bother her any longer. As for the outcome, I hope Uncle Chi will have someone inform us after he has dealt with it, since the Marquis of Haibo's manor has lost a lot of face today!"
"Yes, yes, I know, this time I won't hold back!"
Upon hearing this, He Lingyi left the Vice Minister's residence, her departure decisive and resolute. As for whether Lü's mother and Chi Guiying could survive this turmoil, that was up to their own fate.
Once outside, the carriage headed straight for the Marquis of Haibo's residence.
Although she wanted to go to the Qiao family to join in the fun, she was injured and didn't want to upset her mother on such a joyous occasion, so she decided to turn back.
After everyone had been seen off, only the Chi family members remained at home.
Aunt Zhao was happy to watch the show, but at this time, gentle advice was better than adding fuel to the fire, so she pretended to be generous and said.
"The second young lady may have acted impulsively, after all, Madam Lü slapped her in front of so many people. Perhaps, sir, you should be more tolerant, after all, she is your own child."
The speaker was moved, but the listener did not see it that way.
