General Lin, upon hearing that Yun Xi was seriously ill and would not live long, looked calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with grief and pain.

He couldn't sleep late at night, often tossing and turning, lamenting, wondering where he could find a famous doctor to treat his glutinous rice balls.

The old lady was also full of worries and sighed, "Forget it. Life is short. If these two years can make her live meaningful, it will be enough."

She turned to her eldest daughter-in-law, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, "I'll need you to take care of the wedding. The Censorate is short-staffed right now, and Wenyu is injured and needs to recuperate. You and the second daughter-in-law will go and help with the arrangements. Although the two families once had grudges, they have now been resolved and there is no need to separate them anymore."

The eldest daughter-in-law respectfully agreed: "Yes, please rest assured, old lady, I will make the wedding a grand one and will not let Yunxi suffer any grievances."

The old lady paused, a hint of deepness flashed in her eyes, "I have also heard about the relationship between Yunxi and Wenyu. Although Yunxi has accompanied him to plead guilty, there seems to be a gap between the two. You need to try to ease the situation and allow them to reconcile. Especially on the wedding day, there will be many guests present. We have to give Wenyu respect, and this respect is for Yuyao. Go ask Aunt Qiu what Yuyao's wishes were before she died, and try to make Yuyao feel at ease in her grave."

The eldest daughter-in-law's eyes were red, and she comforted him, "Don't worry, old lady, I will make the arrangements. The Censorate is indeed in need of manpower, and the communication with the wife of Marquis Wu'an is the best for me. Although the wife of Marquis Wu'an has a bad reputation, I will be careful and will not let you down."

The old lady nodded slightly, but there was still a trace of worry in her eyes: "The wife of Marquis Wu'an may seem well-behaved on the surface, but in fact she is very scheming. You must be careful when dealing with her. If there is anything wrong, be sure to report it to me in time."

The eldest daughter-in-law smiled and comforted her: "You are too worried, old lady. I will act cautiously and will not let Yunxi suffer any grievances. If there is really a difficult matter, I will ask you for advice."

However, when the day for the Wu'an Marquis's marriage proposal arrived, the eldest daughter-in-law found something wrong.

The betrothal gift from this wealthy family should have included everything, but the betrothal gift sent by the wife of Marquis Wu'an only lacked livestock and betrothal cakes.

The aunt handed over the gift list with a haughty attitude.

The eldest daughter-in-law's heart tightened. After carefully checking the gift list, she asked firmly, "Madam, although the gift list lists all the betrothal gifts, why are there no livestock and betrothal cakes? And the lotus seeds and lilies in the invitation box don't seem to be enough?"

Upon hearing this, the wife of Marquis Wu'an was stunned and turned to look at her aunt.

My aunt waved her hand nonchalantly, "These are just small matters, just a token of appreciation. It's not Yunxi's first marriage, and we've gone through the formalities last time, haven't we? There's no need to be too fussy about it this time."

After hearing this, the eldest daughter-in-law frowned and said, "Madam, you are wrong. Since we have decided to hold the wedding again, we should follow the etiquette and be complete. Ordinary people may be careless, but as a famous family, how can we lose the rules?"

After hearing this, my aunt sneered disdainfully: "Ordinary people? How can ordinary people be compared with us? You are making a big fuss out of nothing."

Although the eldest daughter-in-law was dissatisfied, she still maintained the proper etiquette: "Madam, your teaching is correct. But I think that the wedding is related to the reputation of the two families, and even more so to Yunxi's lifelong event. If we lose the rules because of these trivial matters, it will not only make the guests laugh, but also hurt Yunxi's heart. Please think twice." (End of this chapter)
