“Alright, Mother, look at all the red envelopes I received today, all from Brother-in-law and His Highness,” Ming Wanqing said, boasting about the red envelopes she had received.
As she boasted, she began to open them. Each red envelope from Su Jiu contained ninety-nine taels, but when Ming Wanqing opened the red envelopes from Su Yu, she was astonished. “Mother, His Highness prepared red envelopes of six hundred and sixty-six taels each for us. I received over ten of them, and His Highness even gave me a few extra.”
“You’ve earned quite a bit today,” madam Ming said with a smile.
It was unusual for someone to give such large red envelopes during a wedding procession, especially to the children. However, it also indicated the importance the Su family placed on their daughter, which made Madam Ming very happy.
“I’m going to find my sisters and then we’ll go to my brother-in-law’s house,” Ming Wanqing said.
“Alright.”
Ming Wanqing went out to tell her sisters about the size of the red envelopes.
“I have so much pocket money now,” they said, having received so many red envelopes, each worth at least ten thousand taels of silver.
“We should put away the red envelopes and then go to my brother-in-law’s house.”
“Alright.”
On the way to the Su family, Madam Ming told her husband about the good deeds done by Yu Manxue. After hearing this, the head of the Ming family’s face turned ashen. “Daring to cause trouble on our daughter’s big day. Wait until Ningning returns home, and see how I deal with the Yu family.”
The head of the Ming family was also grateful that Su Yu did not hold the Ming family accountable, considering Su Jiu’s face.
Half of the children in their generation were preparing for official careers, while those uninterested in studying would go into business. Yu Manxue dared to ruin the future of their children, and she would pay for it.
“Well, let’s not make a fuss for now. We’ll talk about everything after Ningning returns home,” Madam Ming said. After discussing this matter, she also told her husband about the interesting events during the wedding procession at the Su family.
“Wanqing should be happy now. She didn’t buy the headpiece she wanted before, but now she has the money to buy it herself,” the head of the Ming family said with a chuckle.
“The Su family values our daughter, so we should also treat our son-in-law better in the future. Relationships are mutual. If they treat our daughter well, we shouldn’t be indifferent to our son-in-law. We should reciprocate,” Madam Ming said.
“Alright.” He was completely satisfied with Su Jiu as a son-in-law and would naturally treat him well in the future.
When they arrived at the Su family, the wedding procession had not yet returned. They would have to circle the city before returning. During the journey, Su Yu had Yuan Bao exchange a lot of copper coins and had Wang Jinhe’s team make fruit candies, milk candies, and the like.
As they walked, Ming Wanqing managed to grab a few milk candies and, after eating them, was captivated by the taste.
“These milk candies are so delicious. I’ll have to ask my brother-in-law if there are any left later,” she said.
“I prefer the fruit candies.”
“We’ll ask my brother-in-law for some candies later.”
“Okay.”
Upon arriving at the Su family, the house was decorated with a festive atmosphere, with red “happiness” characters and window decorations everywhere, creating a joyful ambiance.
Su Yu rode alongside Su Jiu, watching his brother’s happiness, and he genuinely felt happy as well. His elder brother’s path was finally different from the previous life. In this life, not only would he not die, but he would also be very happy.
When the wedding procession arrived at the Su family, Su Jiu kicked the sedan door, carried the bride over a brazier, and then took Ming Wanning to the ceremonial hall to get married.
After Su Yu and the others entered, they realized that both Xuan Feiran and his wife had also come.
“Greetings, Your Majesty and Your Highness.”
Xuan Feiran waved his hand. “Today is Su Jiu’s wedding day. There’s no need for formalities.”
Despite this, the Su and Ming families still gave the main seats to Xuan Feiran and his wife. After the ceremony, Xuan Feiran had to leave for other matters.
After the Emperor and the Empress departed, everyone joyfully celebrated.
Wang Jinhe took Su Shan and Qiu Yi to the bridal chamber to bring some food to Ming Wanning.
“You must be starving. Have something to eat first,” Wang Jinhe said with a smile, looking at Ming Wanning.
Ming Wanning rubbed her belly. “Don’t say that, I really am hungry.”
As she ate, Ming Wanning chatted with Wang Jinhe. Looking at her slightly bulging belly, she expressed her longing, “It would be great if I could have a pair of twins in the future.”
Twins, something that had never appeared in the Ming family before.
Wang Jinhe teased, “You’ve just gotten married, and you’re already thinking about having children?”
“Ming Wanning glared at Wang Jinhe, her face turning slightly red.
With a playful look in his eyes, Wang Jinhe responded. Ming Wanqing, who was also in the bridal chamber, couldn’t help but interject, “Sister, when Brother-in-law comes back, ask him if there are any more milk candies and fruit candies. They are so delicious.”
“You don’t need to ask Brother-in-law. When you return, I’ll have Qiu Yi prepare two packs for you,” Ming Wanning said.
“Thank you, Your Highness.” Regardless of who provides them, being able to enjoy them is a good thing.
Ming Wanning playfully poked her sister’s head and helplessly said, “You, you’re such a little glutton.”
“You two go out for a meal. I’ll stay here with Wanning.”
“Sister, then we’ll go eat.” They hadn’t eaten much today and were already hungry.
“Go ahead.”
Wang Jinhe continued to talk to Ming Wanning until Su Jiu was assisted back and then left.
Ming Wanning looked at the drunken Su Jiu, closed the door, helped him onto the bed, and was about to fetch water to help him freshen up when he pulled her onto the bed.
Looking at Su Jiu, who was wide awake and showed no signs of being drunk, Ming Wanning couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “You’re pretending to be drunk.”
“Can I not pretend to be drunk?” Those guys were crazy, all of them were trying to get him drunk.
As Su Jiu helped Ming Wanning remove her hairpins, he told her about Yu Manxue.
Seeing Ming Wanning’s angry expression, Su Jiu comforted her, “I told you this not to make you angry, but to prepare you. When you return home, Xiao Yu and your father will deal with the Yu family. I’m telling you because I was afraid you’d be deceived.”
Although it was unlikely given Ming Wanning’s relationship with Yu Manxue, it was still important to give her a heads-up.
“I understand.”
Su Jiu naturally wouldn’t just chat with Ming Wanning. He wouldn’t waste time doing nothing on their wedding night.
When Su Yu returned to the room, he still had the smell of alcohol on him. Worried that Wang Jinhe might find it uncomfortable, he took a bath before seeking her out.
“Where are Xiao Bao and Xiao Zhi?” Wang Jinhe put down the book and asked Su Yu when he saw him coming over.
“They are playing with the children in the family.” These two children had been having a great time at the Su family these past few days.
“They don’t usually have so much time to play, so it’s okay to indulge for a few days.” Although they were indulging, these two children had fixed daily routines for martial arts practice and calligraphy. They didn’t need to be reminded and would do it on their own.
There was no harm in letting them have fun for a few days.
“Alright.”
