(Jiang Wanru listened to Lian's wife's unguarded words, thinking that in the grand hall of the Lian Wangfu at this time, probably everyone who could get a glimpse was rushing to see the legendary stupid Miss Jiang. She sighed inwardly, no matter what lay ahead for herself, she had never done anything wrong and could only meet god with god, meet demon with demon. Her face calm, she gazed into the distance with a faint smile on her lips.)
His tense face turned pale as he followed Jiang Wanru, and when he looked up to see her faint smile, he gradually relaxed, lowering his head and following behind Jiang Wanru. Another woman rushed over, saw Jiang Wanru and her group, smiled and greeted them saying: "Young Madam is well!" Jiang Wanru nodded at her and said: "You too." Jiang Wanru immediately received her surprised gaze, seeing her change in an instant, again with a smiling face saying: "Young Madam, you're being polite. I don't dare to accept it."
Jiang Wanru smiled slightly and walked quickly forward, listening to her say: "Old Master Wang and Old Mistress Wang have been waiting in the main hall since early morning to see Young Mistress. The two masters, Master Wang and Mistress Wang, also arrived early in the main hall to entertain relatives and friends. The young master has already rushed to the main hall, and Mistress Wang asked me to come out and welcome Young Mistress." Jiang Wanru silently sighed, being late and making people wait was especially infuriating.
As Jiang Wanru quickly approached the entrance of the hall, another beautiful maid emerged from inside. She walked up to Jiang Wanru with a smile and curtsied, saying: "Greetings, Young Mistress. I'll go inform them that you've arrived." She turned around and went back in, and before long, the previously noisy hall fell silent. After entering the hall, Jiang Wanru looked towards the main seat far away and saw two couples sitting there - an elderly couple who were Old Master Wang and his wife, and a middle-aged couple who were the current Master Wang and Mistress Wang. On either side of them sat row upon row of people.
Lian Hao walked over to Old Master Wang and his wife, chatting with them. When he turned around and saw Jiang Wanru, he immediately looked somewhat displeased and walked over to her, saying in a low voice, "Why are you walking so slowly? You didn't even call out for me to wait for you?" Jiang Wanru obediently lowered her head and said, "I'll pay attention next time." A humming sound similar to a cough came from the main seat. Lian Hao immediately said, "Hurry up with your movements. After we've finished paying our respects with tea, we still need to go to the ancestral hall to worship our ancestors." Jiang Wanru had already learned through last night that the Lian Wang Fu had decided to make this marriage a watertight affair, so she naturally followed behind him obediently.
As Lianhao and Jiang Wanyu approached the main seat, two red cushions had already been placed in front of Old Master Wang and his wife. Jiang Wanyu followed Lianhao to kneel down, and immediately a loud male voice said: "The newlyweds begin to serve tea!" A young servant behind Lianhao handed over a cup of tea, which Lianhao took and raised the teacup to Old Master Wang, saying: "Grandfather, please drink some tea. Your grandson wishes you good health and longevity." The old man's attendant stood beside him, taking the tea from Lianhao's hand with both hands and presenting it to Old Master Wang. With a smile, he took a sip and said: "As people who are already married, they can't be as mischievous as before." Lianhao chuckled and looked at him.
Jiang Wanru took the tea from Ji Yan's hand. With both hands respectfully raised, she followed Lian Hua's words and said to Old Master Wang: "Grandfather, please have some tea..." Before Jiang Wanru could finish speaking, the old queen in a padded jacket hummed twice, interrupting her. The woman behind her smiled and said: "The new bride should address Old Master Wang as 'Old Master'." Jiang Wanru's expression didn't change, she immediately raised her cup again and said: "Old Master Wang, please have some tea, wishing you good health and happiness every year." Old Master Wang glanced at the woman in front of him, nodded to the person beside him, and took the cup. He took a sip and said to Jiang Wanru: "After entering the palace, you must learn to be obedient." Jiang Wanru didn't raise her eyebrows or eyes, and replied softly: "Yes."
Lian Hao respectfully served tea to Old Princess Wang, earning a smile from her. Jiang Wan followed suit and respectfully served tea to Old Princess Wang, saying: "Old Princess Wang, please drink this tea, wishing you good fortune like the East Sea, joy and happiness every day." Old Princess Wang listened to these words, took the tea and drank a mouthful, then heavily put down the teacup, staring at her and saying: "Flattery and clever words are not becoming of a good woman." Jiang Wan knew that no matter what she did today, she would be a thorn in the eyes of everyone in Lian Wang Fu. Who made herself, from outside to inside, not worthy of being the legitimate daughter-in-law of Lian Wang Fu, the pride of heaven?
Jiang Wanru nodded calmly and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Old Wangfei." Lian Hao and Jiang Wanru both knelt down to offer tea to Wangye and Wangfei, one calling them "Father and Mother", the other addressing them as "Wangye and Wangfei". Lian Hao and Jiang Wanru stood up together to offer tea to several uncles and aunts from the side branches of the Wang family. As for how they addressed each other, it was naturally different for each person.
When it was his turn to serve tea to the Crown Prince and his wife, Lian Hao smiled and said to the Crown Prince: "Big brother, please have some tea!" The Crown Prince, with a serious and dignified expression, took the tea from Lian Hao's hand, took a sip, and put it down, saying: "Little brother, getting married means becoming an adult." Lian Hao chuckled and said: "Big brother, in front of you, I will always be little brother." These words obviously pleased the Crown Prince, whose eyes sparkled with amusement as he glanced at his younger brother. Lian Hao served tea to the Crown Princess, who smiled and took a sip.
Jiang Wanru took the teacup from Ji Yan's slightly pale hands and offered it to the young master and his wife. Under their gaze, she remained calm and composed, accepting their words with a pleased expression. After Liang Hao and Jiang Wanru had paid their respects to the second young master and his wife, they listened to a few more words of congratulations. At this point, everyone in the main hall stood up. The man's loud voice rang out: "The newlyweds will pay their respects to their ancestors." Immediately, everyone in the great hall rose to their feet.
Lian Hao stepped back a few steps, and Jiang Wanru followed him, standing behind the couple of Lian Er Ye. The old Wang Ye couple and the Wang Ye couple walked forward, with everyone following in order. Jiang Wanru closely followed Lian Hao, and after turning a corner, she saw a dark-colored wall surrounding a courtyard, with the gate fully open. The women who had come together entered the courtyard and stood silently inside. Jiang Wanru signaled to Ji Yan not to follow, and she followed Lian Hao into the ancestral hall of the Lian Wang Fu.
The Crown Prince's wife had been observing Jiang Wan's every move, seeing her actions were all proper and dignified, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, thinking that Jiang Wan didn't seem like the foolish young lady from the rumors. She glanced at the Fourth Young Mistress of the Lian family, who was chatting with people around her, then shifted her gaze away. As soon as Jiang Wan entered the ancestral hall, she felt the air inside was stifling. She followed Lian Hao to kneel on the two cushions in front of the main seat. The royal family members who could enter the hall stood on either side. Old Master Wang began to speak: "The third daughter of the legitimate branch of the Lian family..."
Jiang Wanru's memory of the ancestral hall, many years later, only remembered that day knocking her head. After they left, Lianhao immediately surrounded the men, laughing and joking continuously. His eyes occasionally swept over Jiang Wanru, seeing that everyone was far away from her, but his eyes curiously sized her up, while she glanced at him with a lowered head, chatting with her maid, without raising her head once.
Jiang Wanmu gazed at Jiyuan's lips, which had teeth marks on them, and knew she was feeling wronged. She said in a soft voice, "Jiyuan, the days are still long." Jiyuan looked up at Jiang Wanmu and said, "Miss, I'm sorry, I lost face for you." Jiang Wanmu heard her words and smiled, saying in a low voice, "No, Jiyuan did well. I was worried you would cry on the spot. You're very impressive, you endured it." Jiang Wanmu felt Lianhao's gaze, and she slightly raised her eyes to look over, seeing the man's smiling eyes, and immediately lowered her head again.
People flowed out of the ancestral hall, and Jiang Wanru and Ji Yan followed behind. After leaving the ancestral hall, Jiang Wanru thought about the people from the Wang Manor, they wouldn't like her to show off outside, she was thinking of turning back with Ji Yan. At this time, she saw Mrs. Lian hurrying over, saying a few words to Lian Hao who was walking in front, Lian Hao nodded. Her eyes scanned behind, seeing Jiang Wanru, she hurried over, smiling relaxedly and said: "Young Madam, the young princess has come to congratulate Young Master and you on your new marriage."
Jiang Wanmu looked at her with a pleased expression, thinking that even the people of the Wang Fu would not agree to let the young princess enter the Wang Fu, but instead wanted to let herself, who was clearly disliked by everyone, into the Wang Fu and take the position of the legitimate wife. The woman smiled and said: "Young Madam, the young princess is a good person. The Wang Fei likes her very much. She has been playing with the young master since childhood, and their relationship is also very good." When she said this, she quickly looked at Jiang Wanmu, seeing that her eyes were calm and there was a faint smile on her lips, saying: "Hmm, it seems that the young princess is a beautiful woman."
Jiang Wan-yi walked up behind Jiang Wan-mu, heard her words and smiled in a low voice: "Third sister, the princess of the imperial family, is naturally elegant, dignified, generous and beautiful. You must be steady in your actions, don't lose your composure. I haven't seen the little princess for a long time, now I'll accompany you to see her." Jiang Wan-mu slightly turned her head, saw Jiang Wan-yi's colorful clothes and said: "Big sister is good. Thank you for your kindness."
Jiang Wan-yi was busy greeting Concubine Lian, saying: "Concubine Lian, has the Crown Prince's wife been busy lately?" Concubine Lian glanced at Jiang Wan-mei, who had retreated, and then looked at Jiang Wan-yi, who was walking ahead without realizing it. She replied, "Thank you for your concern, Fourth Lady." Concubine Lian turned to Jiang Wan-mei and said, "Young Lady, please hurry up a few steps." Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan-mei quickened her pace, overtaking Jiang Wan-yi and walking in front of her. Jiang Wan-yi followed behind, with a smile on her face but a hint of annoyance in her eyes. However, according to reason, as the legitimate wife of the Crown Prince in the Lian Palace, Jiang Wan-mei should have been walking ahead of her.
Jiang Wanru didn't have these petty thoughts at this time, she just thought about the cold faces that everyone in the Wang Fu gave her this morning. She quickened her pace and suddenly turned around to ask Lian Shu: "Lian Shu, I'm meeting the young princess for the first time, is there anything I should pay attention to?" Lian Shu saw the sincerity in her eyes and said in a low voice: "The young princess likes it when people listen to her talk." Jiang Wanru immediately understood and thanked Lian Shu in a soft voice: "Thank you for reminding me, Lian Shu."
