Chapter 204 Who will have the last laugh?
Shi Donglian didn't expect that the two of them would have a fight just because of her words. In fact, Shi Donglian's claim that she had never seen Song Qiyun in the morning was just nonsense.
Shi Donglian would often go to Su Mingjie's shop when she had nothing to do. Sometimes she would catch the customers coming in to chat with them, telling them about her miserable life, how her husband had abandoned her and her child had been sold. Then she would point at Su Mingjie and say, "Look, I finally found this scumbag."
Shi Donglian often went to Song Qiyun's house when she was not around, and when she got there she would say something like she had just seen her somewhere, which made Su Mingjie so angry that he almost went crazy.
Shi Donglian sent someone to follow Song Qiyun for several days. Perhaps because Song Qiyun was more cautious or was afraid of Su Mingjie's suspicion, she had always been well-behaved.
This day is the day when Xue Sitong and Wu Xin of the Xue family pay their betrothal gifts. Originally, they had already paid the betrothal gifts, asked for the name, and agreed on the marriage, but now they directly pay the betrothal gifts and pay the betrothal gifts.
Jiang Yutong didn't want to go originally, but after the Xue family invited her several times, Jiang Yutong went with peace of mind.
Jiang Yutong went there with Jiang Yuwen.
Not to mention that the betrothal ceremony in ancient times was quite lively. The man sent the betrothal gifts early in the morning. The gifts were also very rich, including seafood, three kinds of meat, fish, four kinds of Jing fruits, four kinds of sugar, tea, gift boxes, etc., and relatives and friends sent their blessings.
Jiang Yutong went to meet the old lady of the Xue family. This time, the old lady was not as polite as before and was very cold towards her. Jiang Yutong didn't mind. She found a corner to sit down and ate and drank comfortably.
At this moment, Zhong Qionglan was sitting with Xue Sitong in the boudoir. Xue Sitong's face showed no joy at all. Zhong Qionglan whispered to comfort her, "Okay, put away the unhappiness on your face. You will be making a living in the Wu family in the future. What will the Wu family think if they see you like this?"
Although Xue Sitong knew this, she couldn't be happy. At this time, everyone from the Wu family came into the room, smiling and saying some flattering words. Mrs. Wu also came. Zhong Qionglan was still a little embarrassed to see Mrs. Wu, but she gritted her teeth and greeted her.
The relatives of the Xue and Wu families looked a little embarrassed when they thought of the words that had been passed down before, but they were all a group of people who had experienced big occasions, so they still knew how to say polite words. They talked and laughed, and made jokes, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Jiang Yutong symbolically followed everyone into the house. She wanted to say a few polite words and leave, but Xue Sitong unexpectedly grabbed her hand and said, "Sister, stay here with me."
Jiang Yutong wanted to decline, but those who didn't know only saw the deep sisterly love between Jiang Yutong and Xue Sitong, and they all smiled and joked, "Indeed, on days like this, a sister should accompany you. Then you two sisters can talk, and we'll go out first."
When Mrs. Wu left, she looked at Jiang Yutong deeply. She was still unwilling to give up on Jiang Yutong.
Soon, only Xue Sitong and Jiang Yutong were left in the room. At this moment, Xue Sitong stopped pretending and immediately let go of Jiang Yutong's hand.
"Sister, you are really capable. I underestimated you. Seeing the result today, you should be very happy, right?"
Jiang Yutong patted her sleeves, which were wrinkled by Xue Sitong's grip, and said slowly, "Today is your sister's big day. As her elder sister, of course I am happy for you."
Xue Sitong looked at Jiang Yutong's bright face, and her teeth itched with hatred. "Sister, don't be too happy too soon. There is still a long way to go. Let's see who will have the last laugh."
"Okay, then I'll wish you and Mr. Wu a long and happy marriage."
Jiang Yutong was too lazy to stay with Xue Sitong. She shook her handkerchief and prepared to leave. "Sister won't accompany you anymore."
Jiang Yutong didn't see Xue Sitong's red eyes and her desire to eat her.
The Xue and Wu families set a wedding date, which was chosen to be in October of the following year, after Xue Sitong came of age.
After having dinner at Xue's house, Jiang Yutong got up and left when someone said goodbye. Unexpectedly, she ran into Wu Xin on the way.
Jiang Yutong originally wanted to pretend she didn't see it, but Wu Xin stopped her, "Miss Jiang, please stay."
Jiang Yutong stopped with Dongmei and Xiazhu.
Wu Xin walked up and bowed to her. "Miss Jiang, I want to apologize to you. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I am sincere to Miss Jiang."
Jiang Yutong sneered, "Mr. Wu, please don't say such things to tarnish my reputation. Please call me "Sister Wife" when we meet again."
Wu Xin bowed deeply.
Jiang Yutong ignored him and walked away.
Wu Xin stared at Jiang Yutong's back in a daze. He had mixed feelings towards Jiang Yutong. He was indeed attracted by her family property and ability to make money. You know, the Wu family was extremely poor after being exiled, so having a wife who could help them was very important.
As he got to know Jiang Yutong, he realized that she was a smart woman. He didn't expect that she could escape from the frame-up by her mother and Xue Sitong and even take revenge on Xue Sitong. The Wu family knew that Jiang Yutong was extraordinary.
What a pity! If he could really marry Jiang Yutong, it would be a blessing for the Wu family.
Even after the marriage between the Xue and Wu families was settled, Xue Sitong stayed at home and rarely went out, preparing for her marriage.
Soon, the palace celebrated the full moon for the tenth prince, and Jiang Yutong also accepted the invitation. Concubine Wan personally invited Jiang Yutong.
Jiang Yutong dressed festively and found a pair of longevity locks made of pure gold from the storehouse and brought them into the palace as a gift.
The current emperor hasn't had a prince for a long time. He was very happy about the birth of the tenth prince, and the full moon ceremony was held very grandly.
When Jiang Yutong arrived, Concubine Wan's palace was already full of people.
Jiang Yutong bowed to Concubine Wan, who came down and helped her up. "Miss Jiang, please stand up quickly. I haven't had time to thank you yet. You are a great benefactor to me and the Tenth Prince."
When the people sitting below saw Concubine Wan personally helping Jiang Yutong up, they felt a little strange in their hearts. It seemed that Jiang Yutong was extraordinary. When they heard that she was the benefactor of Concubine Wan and the Tenth Prince, they were even more surprised. It seemed that they had to be more polite to Jiang Yutong in the future.
If you ask who is the most popular person in the palace recently, it must be Concubine Wan and the Tenth Prince. As for the benefactors of Concubine Wan and the Tenth Prince, they are indeed highly regarded.
Everyone looked at Jiang Yutong, who was bright and beautiful, and thought it was rare. It was a pity that she was divorced.
Jiang Yutong quickly said, "Your Highness, why are you so polite? Yutong just did what she should do."
The two of them exchanged some polite words, and Concubine Wan personally pulled Jiang Yutong to sit in the seat closest to her. Jiang Yutong wanted to decline, but Concubine Wan smiled and said, "Don't be polite, Yutong. When the Tenth Prince comes out, he should meet you, his great benefactor."
Soon, the Empress and the Queen Mother also arrived. Jiang Yutong bowed with everyone else. The Empress looked at Jiang Yutong deeply, then helped the Queen Mother to sit at the top of the table.
The Queen Mother was in a good mood today. She smiled and asked Concubine Wan, "Where is the Tenth Prince? Bring him out for me to see."
