After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 33: Debate with the No. Scholar

No one expected that the groom and the cousin of the Xie family would start arguing in the front yard about something fishy.

The two of them argued until their faces turned red. As the auspicious time was approaching, Xie Chengwen was so anxious that he was sweating.

Xie Shuning, who was sitting in the bridal chamber, waited a long time for the groom to arrive, and his heart was pounding, fearing that something unexpected had happened.

If she could encounter such a mysterious thing as rebirth, there is no guarantee that Kang Jintang would not encounter it. If he also came back to life and found that his wife had been replaced, would he make a scene in the auditorium?

Yuzhu ran in breathlessly, "Miss, it was the question that the cousin asked and started an argument with Master Kang."

"The two of them were in the front yard and neither of them would give way to the other. The eldest master couldn't stop them."

"Rong Lingkuan?" Xie Shuning didn't expect that the stumbling block would be Rong Lingkuan.

"Hurry up and get him away! If anything goes wrong, none of you will have a good life!"

She was so angry that she almost crushed the handkerchief in her hand. If it weren't for Rong Peilan's instruction, how could Rong Lingkuan, a half-grown boy, dare to deliberately embarrass Kang Jintang, just to make her miss the auspicious time!
Xie Shuning gritted his teeth, his delicate face almost distorted.

The booing in the front yard was getting louder and louder. When did the Xie family have such an outstanding young master? A young boy could actually debate with the top scholar.

Rong Peilan saw that the wedding hall was about to turn into a debate hall. If the auspicious time was really missed, she was afraid that Song would really take Kuan'er's life.

The joy of fish is a false proposition, how can one make any definitive proof of it?

"Haitang, go tell the young master that whether the fish are happy or not has nothing to do with them. It's the people who like to eat fish who are unhappy, and the people who don't like to eat fish who are quite happy."

Haitang didn't understand what was going on, but she still went into the crowd and grabbed Rong Lingkuan, whose face was red from arguing.

Rong Lingkuan blinked after hearing Haitang's words.

If he continues to argue, he will become that fish. Whether his aunt likes to eat fish or not depends on whether he misses the auspicious time.

Rong Lingkuan patted his sleeves, cleared his throat, and put his hands behind his back like a little adult.

"There's no point in arguing. Anyway, I know the fish on the table is not happy."

After saying that, he stepped aside and said, "Brother-in-law, you should run a few steps faster."

Kang Jintang's heated mind calmed down. He was so excited in the debate that he forgot the most important thing.

He no longer regarded Rong Lingkuan as a child. He clasped his fists towards him and said, "Brother-in-law, I will definitely argue with you again someday!"

Looking at Kang Jintang's hurriedly departing back, Rong Lingkuan turned around and saw his aunt's murderous eyes. He was so frightened that his neck shrank and he quickly turned his back.

When Xie Chengwen carried Xie Shuning out, Rong Peilan found it very strange no matter how she looked at it.

The wedding dress was intricately embroidered, the phoenix crown on her head was extremely gorgeous, and there were several huge jewel rings on her white fingers.

The groom, however, wore the most ordinary wedding suit, without even a piece of jade on his belt, which was the most common leather belt.

Rong Lingkuan had already rushed to Rong Peilan's side, grabbed her hand and said impatiently, "Sister, when are we leaving?!"

Rong Peilan poked his forehead and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Rong Lingkuan pursed his lips, then met Song's eyes again. He immediately put away his expression and stood quietly beside his sister.

Looking at the brother and sister laughing not far away, Song wanted to tear them apart.

One robbed her daughter's marriage, and the other was going to ruin her wedding.

"The newcomers say farewell!"

The master of ceremonies shouted, startling Song back to her senses. The couple in front of Xie's father, as always, was strict with his father, "Ning'er, today you are marrying into the Kang family and becoming a Kang family wife. You must be considerate to your husband, serve your mother-in-law, don't be jealous, don't be evil, be considerate and obedient, that is the family tradition of my Xie family's daughters."

Song looked at her daughter's shy smile and couldn't help feeling sour in her heart. She only had this one daughter whom she had taken care of for more than ten years, but now she was going to marry into such a poor family.

She couldn't help but choke up, "Ning'er, if you've been wronged, you must tell mother."

Kang Jintang held the red silk and bowed to his parents, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please rest assured. I will take care of her like you take care of my wife, and will never let her suffer any grievances."

Song nodded and wiped away the tears that fell like beads from a broken string, "Okay, okay, I'll take note of what you said! Go quickly, don't miss the auspicious time."

Watching Xie Chengwen carry Xie Shuning into the bridal sedan, the housekeeper handed Song a basin of water.

Song had already thrown it out once last time, but this time she couldn't do it again.

"Madam, please pour the water quickly, don't ruin the girl's fortune." Mother Wu beside Song urged.

Song gritted her teeth and poured the water in the copper basin in front of the sedan chair.

Rong Peilan looked at Song's profile and couldn't help but think, if her mother were still alive, would she also give Song the same earnest instructions, and would she also miss Song as much as she did.

Would her father advise her to be a good wife like her uncle did, or would he warn the groom not to let her down?

Rong Lingkuan noticed his sister's emotions and reached out to hold her hand that was hanging by her side.

After the hustle and bustle in the Xie Mansion ended, Rong Peilan took her brother to bid farewell to her uncle.

"Uncle, Lan'er hasn't seen Kuan'er for a long time. I want to invite Kuan'er to stay with me for a few days."

Just as Song was about to say something, she was interrupted by Xie Qingde.

"You two siblings haven't seen each other for a long time. Your uncle has approved it. Just don't miss your studies."

Rong Lingkuan immediately smiled, "Uncle, don't worry, Kuan'er will definitely not neglect his studies!"

Song gritted her teeth and could only watch the brother and sister leave happily.

Xie Qingde looked at the two people's backs and couldn't help but sigh, "Ping Jie'er's two children really look like their father."

Finally, he turned to look at Song and could only sigh. His father had not agreed to marry Song in the first place. He only cared about the name of the Yanqing Song family but ignored the virtues of Song herself.

Song was stared at inexplicably. She touched her face, but felt the loose skin on it. She couldn't help but yelled, "What are you looking at? You're just worried about your family getting old! If you can't stand it, go to Tingyuxuan and find your beautiful concubine!"

Xie Qingde had spit all over his face. He turned gloomy, flicked his sleeves, said something and left.

"What an ignorant woman who doesn't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is!"

Song couldn't bear Xie Qingde's direct blow and immediately started crying and making a fuss.

"You ungrateful dog man! When my daughter of the Song family in Yanqing married you, you were just a student who had just taken the imperial examination! If it weren't for my father running around and entrusting his old friends in the court, how could you have risen to prominence so quickly!"

As soon as Rong Peilan stepped out of the door, she heard Song's shouting and cursing behind her.

Rong Lingkuan wanted to look back, but was stopped by his sister.

"Brother Kuan, don't look back. Our future is bright, and we can leave the mess behind us."

Rong Lingkuan looked up at his sister. The sun was setting and he couldn't see his sister's expression against the sunlight. He just felt that his sister was holding his hand, vaguely like the gentle hand in his memory.
