The Poisonous Wife: Cute Baby Comes to Rebirth with Me

Although the eldest daughter-in-law was a little unhappy, considering that this was a happy event, she suppressed her anger and said calmly, "We don't care about the betrothal money and jewelry, we just hope for good luck. However, lotus seeds, lilies, betrothal cakes, and livestock are indispensable. I hope your family can make up for it as soon as possible."

My aunt smiled slightly, revealing a hint of indifference in her tone: "There are many things to prepare for a wedding. The situation in the Marquis' Mansion is different from that in the Censor's Mansion. Our mansion has a large population and a large family. Every happy event needs to be carefully prepared. Madam Lin, although you are my aunt, you don't have to worry too much about these details. As long as you can look good, it's enough."

This aunt is nearly sixty years old, but she is still the backbone of the mansion, and her presence is indispensable in all matters big and small of the clan.

She is well versed in various etiquettes and is recognized as a master of etiquette in the tribe.

Although her husband worked in Fengzhou, she chose to stay in Kyoto to take care of family affairs.

Normally, she was also on good terms with the wife of Marquis Wu'an. Before proposing yesterday, she had already known the wife's intentions. Today, she had gone all out to vent her anger for the wife and give the Censorate a warning.

The aunt secretly calculated in her heart that the Censorate's Mansion now had no hostess, and the eldest daughter-in-law was from the Lin Mansion. Even if she was a little dissatisfied, she would not be able to cause any trouble.

What's more, the betrothal ceremony today is already very comprehensive. Even if there are some shortcomings, the excuse of the wedding being hasty and poorly prepared can be used to get away with it.

After all, Mu Yihan’s surname is Mu, not Zhao, and the Marquis’ Mansion and the Censor’s Mansion are not from the same family after all.

Furthermore, returning the betrothal gift would undoubtedly be a bad omen for the Censorate.

Xiao Yunxi had already broken off an engagement once and had experienced a ghost marriage. If she were to cancel the betrothal gift again, it would be the Censorate that would be embarrassed rather than the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion.

Therefore, the aunt firmly believed that the Censorate would not make a decision to cancel the engagement because of such a small matter. The eldest daughter-in-law was angry and helpless after hearing what her aunt said.

I was angry because of my aunt's arrogant attitude, but I was helpless because I couldn't return the betrothal gift.

She knew very well that if she refused the betrothal gift because the other party was impolite, it would only bring shame to Yi Han and Yun Xi if the news got out.

Her face changed constantly as she recalled what the old lady had once said about the character of Marquis Wu'an's wife - seemingly a stickler for rules, but actually extremely hypocritical.

The eldest daughter-in-law stood up and said coldly: "Please have some tea first, I'll come back later." After that, she turned and went into the inner room and told the second daughter-in-law about it.

The second daughter-in-law was arranging the affairs of the servants. After hearing what the eldest daughter-in-law said, she also felt worried: "We can't tell Yun Xi about this directly. With her temper, she might just throw the betrothal gifts away."

The eldest daughter-in-law nodded: "I think so too. It seems that we have to ask the old lady to come forward."

The second daughter-in-law pondered for a moment and said, "I think we should go out and talk to them first. After all, the things they are missing are not many, and see if they are willing to make up for it. If they are willing to make up for it, then we don't have to disturb the old lady. The old lady's temper is similar to Yunxi's. If they quarrel, it will not look good for both families. And Yunxi's life in the Marquis' Mansion will not be easy in the future. After all, our Yunxi came back from the courtyard and is not very familiar with the rules of the mansion."

The eldest daughter-in-law felt that what the second daughter-in-law said made sense: "You are right. Then let's go out and talk about it again. Don't tell Yun Xi about this."

After the two of them had discussed it, they walked out of the inner room again. (End of this chapter)
