Volume 1 Chapter 81: Shining Star (Part 2) (Pink Tickets: 540)

  Outside the gate of Weeping Flower, silence lasted for a long time.

  "How's that? Can't guess, can you? Just admit defeat, hand over three big red envelopes, and answer my fourth brother-in-law's questions on the Analects of Confucius, and we'll let you in."

  "You're making it difficult for us." Someone outside shouted, "There isn't even such a word!"

  "I didn't say it was definitely a riddle." Everyone's eyes fell on him, and Luo Zhenyu seemed to be gloating, "You're all too stupid. Let me tell you, when my fifth sister's husband came to welcome the bride, he answered all the riddles correctly. Not only that, but he also wrote an essay on the spot. Forget about opening the door, even the red envelope for opening the door was waived."

  It's just that the atmosphere at the scene was too good, not suitable for giving red envelopes. However, when they returned home on the third day, Qian Ming still took the initiative to give Luo Zhenkai and Luo Zhenyu their red envelopes. If you ask who they like the most now, it's probably Qian Ming.

  Outside, there was a whispering sound.

  Qian Ming's eyebrows and eyes couldn't help but reveal a few happy colors.

  The more it is at this time, the more generous and tolerant we should be.

  He hurried over to Luo Zhenxing's side, but heard Yu Yiqing, who was standing shoulder to shoulder with Luo Zhenxing, muttering softly: "What kind of riddle is this? It must not be a word puzzle. That means it's an object... The scope is so broad..."

  Luo Zhenxing smiled and said: "It must be that these two little guys deliberately found something to make it difficult for Shidi, I'm afraid it's not that easy to answer."

  Seeing Qian Ming walking over, the two stopped talking and laughed out loud "Zichun".

  Qian Ming smiled and said: "It's getting late, don't miss the auspicious time. I think it's better to give them a way out."

  Yu Yiqing nodded: "But I couldn't solve this riddle either. Otherwise, I would have already revealed the answer and broken the stalemate."

  Qian Ming laughed and shouted towards the door: "Since you can't answer, then leave some money to buy your way out. Five red envelopes will let you pass..."

  His words had barely fallen when someone outside suddenly shouted: "What the hell is this? You don't want to marry, I don't want to take a wife either! Brothers, let's go back. The Luo family wants to make this marriage, let them send their daughter to me themselves. Go, go, go, we're going home to drink...". The tone was very rough.

  Everyone in Luo's family turned pale.

  It is often said that when marrying a daughter, one should hold their head high, but when marrying a wife, one should lower their head. Whose family marries a daughter-in-law without being teased by the bride's family? Unexpectedly, the Wang family actually...

  The one who suffered the most was Qian Ming.

  It was his idea just now!

  It's said that he has always been known for his quick wit... yet when marrying his tenth sister-in-law, he made such a big fool of himself in front of so many people from her family. Who knows how his father-in-law and mother-in-law will look at him later...

  Luo Zhenxing and Yu Yiqing were stunned.

  They never thought that someone would be like this... On the day of their wedding, they were disturbed even more than this, but no one dared to turn around and leave!

  For a moment, the inner courtyard was silent.

  The people outside heard his shouting and started jeering: "Leave, leave..."

  "Your Highness, Your Highness..." Someone from the royal family begged pitifully, "Can't you please not go... What will I say to the Duke when he asks?" Unfortunately, this voice was weak and soon drowned out by the strange cries.

  "What to do?" Yu Yiqing was somewhat at a loss.

  Luo Zhenxing was also hesitant: "Or else, just open the door!"

  "Open the door?" Yu Yiqing hesitated, "Isn't that letting people say we're afraid of the new son-in-law and hastily sending someone to his doorstep? What a loss of face! How can you let Shiniang continue to be a person in the Wang family from now on?"

  The two of them were talking and simultaneously wondered why Qian Ming wasn't speaking. They both turned to look at him, only to see that he was standing there with a head full of sweat.

  "Zi Chuan, you always have a lot of ideas, just pick one."

  Luo Zhenxing's voice had just fallen when the sound of things being smashed came from outside: "Leave, leave..."

  Luo Zhenkai and Luo Zhenyu were also frightened at first, but the sudden "crackling" sound outside made them both jump in fright. They exchanged a glance, then ran together to the backyard - they planned to find Shiyi Niang and ask her to find a place for themselves to hide, as when the adults came back to their senses, they would definitely take it out on them.

  They were just entering the yard when they got a fright.

  The western wing where the bride lived had its gate wide open, and the servant girls were all solemn in expression, but they quietly and noiselessly carried copper basins back and forth.

  "What's going on here?" Luo Zhenyu was stunned.

  "Let's go and take a look." Luo Zhenkai was also very curious, immediately forgetting his purpose for coming to the backyard.

  Lu Zhenyu had always looked up to his elder brother and followed Lu Zhen into the west wing of the house.

  They saw their servants' faces turn white with fear, and someone shouted in a shrill voice: "Someone has come!"

  Some shrill voices even scared Luo Zhenkai and Luo Zhenyu back two steps.

  "What's going on!" With a stern inquiry, the two brothers found Amber standing at the door.

  "How did you end up here?" The three of them asked in unison.

  For a moment, the three of them stood there in stunned silence, staring at each other.

  "Amber, who's outside?" came Eleven's somewhat serious voice from inside the house.

  Luo Zhenkai had never heard Shiyi Niang speak in such a tone before.

  He instinctively felt that something was fishy.

  "Eleventh sister," Luo Zhenkai rushed in immediately, "it's me!"

  Amber couldn't help but smile wryly as she followed Luo Zhenyu into the house.

  Eleventh Girl sat palely on the windowsill kang, with a woman pillowed on her knees.

  The raven-black hair trailed down over the scarlet silk robe, its beauty was so stunning that it sent shivers down one's spine.

  "What's with you guys?" Eleventh Sister calmly greeted Luo Zhenkai and Luo Zhenyu, then calmly instructed the person beside her: "Pour more."

  Luo Zhenkai only then discovered that the woman standing by the kang, wearing a light purple jacket, was actually Xu Mama, who stood beside the first wife.

  She immediately pinched the chin of the woman on Xi Wang's lap and pried open her mouth, while another maid poured water from a sea bowl into the woman's mouth. The woman coughed once, and water spilled out of her mouth.

  Luo Zhenyu couldn't help but exclaim "Ah!"

  Although the woman's eyes were closed and her face was somewhat distorted, he still recognized her at a glance. The woman resting on Eleventh Sister's lap was today's bride - Tenth Sister.

  Huangpu came over: "Fifth Master, Sixth Master, I'll take you next door to have some sweets."

  The two had never seen such a scene before, and they were both curious and felt a little terrified, so they couldn't help but hesitate.

  Although Amber was anxious in her heart, she didn't dare to forcibly pull these two masters away.

  Just then, a mother came in with a big bowl of steaming hot stuff: "Mung bean soup is here, mung bean soup is here!" She looked very excited.

  Amber pulled one of them away with one hand, pulling them away from the kang.

  "It's almost cooled down." The 11th girl's voice was a little low, but her tone was calm and inexplicably soothing.

  The woman who brought the green bean soup immediately ran into the clean room and fetched an empty copper basin. Then she poured the green bean soup from one basin to another, back and forth, trying to cool it down quickly.

  "Water it again." Eleventh Young Mistress ordered the maid.

  The maid's tears fell down: "Eleventh Miss, it can't be poured in anymore!"

  "What's going on?" Luo Zhenkai found that Mrs. Xu was looking at Shiyi Niang in a panic.

  The eleventh girl thought for a moment and said: "Mother had better go back to her mother! This matter cannot be hidden. The more it is hidden, the worse it will end."

  Mrs. Xu hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth: "I'll trouble Miss Eleven here, I'll go and inform the madam right away."

  Eleventh Girl nodded and Mother Xu rushed off.

  Sister, is it going to die?

  Luo Zhenkai thought about it and couldn't help but take a few steps forward to see clearly.

  As a result, he saw Eleven suddenly bow her head and say to Ten's ear: "You really listen! She wants you dead, so you obediently die."

  Luo Zhenkai suddenly found that Shi Jie's eyelashes, which had been quietly covering her eyes, trembled slightly.

  Look at Eleven again, she has lifted her head, her back straight as a pen, and said in a calm voice "pour again".

  Her voice was not loud, nor was her tone high, but there was a kind of majesty that made people dare not ignore.

  That maid immediately began pouring water into Shier's mouth again.

  "Miss Eleven, mung bean soup, mung bean soup!" The woman who was ladling out the mung bean soup nearby looked at Miss Eleven with a hint of trepidation.

  "Change into green bean soup." Eleventh Lady ordered the maid.

  The maids and women did not dare to hesitate, one busily brought over the mung bean soup, another picked up a large bowl and scooped it into Shi Nang's mouth.

  Luo Zhenkai then heard Shiyi Niang whispering to Shi Niang, "I didn't know that you were actually a well-behaved girl all along."

  As soon as Shiyi's voice fell, he saw Shining's fingers, which had been somewhat stiff all along, move slightly.

  Lu Zhenkai couldn't help but look up at Shiyi Niang. He found that Shiyi Niang seemed to have let out a sigh of relief, and her eyebrows had relaxed a lot.

  It's also unknown how long it took. It seemed like only a moment, but also as if a whole incense stick had passed, when suddenly Shining Maiden let out a loud "Wah" and spat it out.

  Luo Zhenkai saw a surprised look flash across Shiyi's eyes, and her voice was also slightly higher than before: "Pour again!"

  The sound of chaotic footsteps came from outside the door.

  Luo Zhensheng couldn't help but look up at the sound of his name being called.

  Seeing Mrs. Xu supporting a pale-faced old lady walking in: "Will she make it?"

  Everyone in the room half-knelt down to pay their respects to the mistress, but the mistress didn't even give them a glance and walked straight towards the large kang by the window.

  Her eyes staring at Shining were full of resentment, which made Luo Zhenkai shudder.

  "I don't know." The eleventh girl's voice was very calm, "Do your best."

  The lady immediately ordered Mrs. Xu: "You go and tell the old man that if the Wang family is willing to marry, I will be a decent matchmaker in front of both families and kowtow three times. If they are not willing to marry, let the matchmaker come tomorrow and return what should be returned and repay what should be repaid. We don't force them."

  Mrs. Xu immediately responded with "yes" and quickly ran out of the room.

  The eleventh girl couldn't help but look puzzled.

  The madam sneered: "Your elder brother blocked the door, and that young master of the Wang family flew into a rage, even saying he wanted to call off the engagement." As she spoke, she glanced at Shier Niang, "It's just as well, we don't need to find any excuses now. If she can survive, we'll marry off our daughter. If she doesn't survive, we'll say she died from humiliation."

  "But isn't the Wang family going to call off the engagement?" Eleventh Young Miss's voice was tinged with a few hints of regret that made Luo Zhen Kai puzzled, "I think, since that young master Wang has such poor upbringing, it would be better to take this opportunity..."

  "Do you know what?" Mrs. Zhang's voice grew even colder, "This concerns the reputation of both our families, it's not something that a young whippersnapper like him can decide on his own."

  Lu Zhenkai then saw Shining's fingers move again.
