Chapter 242:

Wang Jinhe felt a bit embarrassed by the Empress Dowager’s praise. Her face flushed slightly, and seeing her like this, the Empress Dowager couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “That stinky boy, Su Yu, is really benefiting from it.”

“Su Yu is very good to me,” Wang Jinhe naturally wouldn’t stand by and let the Empress Dowager speak ill of Su Yu. There are times when one must stand up for what matters.

The Empress Dowager was momentarily stunned, then looked at Wang Jinhe with a mix of amusement and teasing. “You shouldn’t spoil men too much. When it’s time to scold, you should scold, or else they’ll become insufferable.”

Wang Jinhe awkwardly scratched her head, not knowing how to respond.

“Old Madam, don’t tease this girl. She has a good relationship with Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu treats her well.” Most of the time, it was Su Yu accommodating Wang Jinhe, and Wang Jinhe had never yielded to Su Yu.

The Empress Dowager shook her head gently, her eyes filled with a playful smile, and her gaze towards Wang Jinhe softened.

Thinking that she hadn’t given Wang Jinhe anything yet, she took off a jade-green bracelet from her wrist and put it on Wang Jinhe’s hand.

“It looks really beautiful.” Wang Jinhe’s skin was fair, and the bracelet made her look even more delicate.

Wang Jinhe looked at the jade bracelet on her hand and was startled, “Empress Dowager, this is too valuable. I can’t accept it.”

The Empress Dowager pressed Wang Jinhe’s hand, preventing her from taking off the jade bracelet. “You child, gifts from elders must not be declined. Don’t you understand this principle? This is my gift to you, accept it.”

“But this jade bracelet looks very expensive.” Wang Jinhe was genuinely afraid that wearing this bracelet outside would make her a target for robbery.

“A bracelet, no matter how expensive, is lifeless. Can it compare to the value of my body? Thanks to you, not only has my body recovered, but I’ve also become several years younger. I give you a bracelet, and I still feel it’s not enough.” The Empress Dowager looked at Wang Jinhe and said earnestly.

Wang Jinhe could only nod helplessly and accept the gifts.

“Thank you, Madam.”

“Don’t be so polite with me. Just make sure that in the future, when you and Su Yu go to the capital, you visit me more. Bring me some goodies too. After eating the dishes you make here, I worry I won’t be able to stomach the food there.” The Empress Dowager looked at Wang Jinhe and said with a hint of helplessness.

Wang Jinhe nodded, “Rest assured, Empress Dowager. In the future, if Su Yu and I return, we will definitely come to see you.”

“Good.”

“Su Yu is here,” someone shouted.

The Empress Dowager glanced at the sky outside, then reached over to cover Wang Jinhe with a cloak, saying, “If Su Yu ever bullies you in the future, just tell me. I’ll take care of him for you.”

“Okay.”

Wang Jingyu carried Wang Jinhe out, feeling exceptionally complex as he took care of his sister for so many years, and now she was about to get married.

“Although Su Yu is good to you, if he really bullies you, make sure to tell your big brother. I’ll help you seek revenge.” Wang Jingyu was reluctant to part with his sister, but he also knew that Su Yu was the best match for her, approved by their parents. He trusted Su Yu and felt at ease handing his sister over to him.

“Okay, thank you, big brother.”

Su Long and the others were by Su Yu’s side at the riverbank. After Wang Jinhe left, Su Yu was already there.

As Wang Jinhe didn’t want to make a big scene, they didn’t go to the village but went straight to Su Yu’s place.

As a result, Jingyu was holding Wang Jinhe the entire time.

None of these people are ones they can mess with casually.

“I have something to attend to at home, so I’ll head back.”

“I’ll leave too.”

Since they’ve made their intentions clear, staying here would only be humiliating themselves.

Not long after, those who came to watch the excitement and mock Wang Jinhe all left. Today, it wasn’t them watching Wang Jinhe’s embarrassment; they became the joke.

Wang Jingyu watched them leave, his eyes filled with sarcasm.

Such people had nothing to be proud of. They only knew how to cause trouble every day. Besides that, it was unclear what else they were capable of.

Wang Jingyu turned and went to Su Yu’s house. When he arrived, the elders were already seated. Even the Empress Dowager sat in a prominent position, experiencing the feeling of presiding over a high hall.

“Bow to the heavens and earth.”

“Bow to the high hall.”

“Husband and wife exchange bows, entering the bridal chamber.”

After bowing to the heavens and earth, Wang Jinhe was led to her room with Su Yu. Duan Chenxuan and the others followed, making a lot of noise.

When Su Yu lifted the veil, he was genuinely stunned by Wang Jinhe’s beauty.

On ordinary days, Wang Jinhe was plain-faced and never bothered with cosmetics. Today, she wore exquisite makeup, and she looked completely different from her usual self.

“Mommy looks so beautiful.” Xiao Bao, also in the room, clapped his hands excitedly.

“Su Yu, you lucky guy. You found such a beautiful wife,” Duan Chenxuan said with envy.

Wang Jinhe was indeed the perfect wife, capable both in managing the household and the kitchen.

Su Yu was a bit dissatisfied. He didn’t like others seeing how good-looking Xiao He was. He could only enjoy her beauty by himself.

“Admire away.” Su Yu, on the day of his wedding, didn’t get angry but rather said coquettishly. His triumphant appearance made them almost unable to watch.

Duan Chenxuan snorted, “It’s still early. If you want to drink with us, forget about the bridal chamber. Wait for it.”

After saying that, he was dragged outside.

After Su Yu was dragged out, Qiuyi and the others came in not long after. “Miss, Young Master asked us to bring this. Have a little to eat first.”

“Okay, you all go out to eat. I don’t need assistance here. Take this and share it with others. You’ve worked hard recently.”
