209: A Major Case Occurred in Beijing
, the latest chapter is updated the fastest!
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the capital seemed to be quiet again. The only thing that still had some lingering effect was Su Xinyi's first place that came out of nowhere, which was still a hot topic of discussion.
Daling Temple held another Dharma Assembly during the Dragon Boat Festival. The scale of this Dharma Assembly was unprecedented. Many ladies in the capital received Buddhist stickers from Daling Temple.
The Duke of Qi's Mansion was no exception.
Su Xinyi didn't plan to go. She had a general impression of Daling Temple. Su Jingmo didn't plan to go, but the Changnan Marquis Mansion sent a message and asked the third lady to go to worship Buddha together, so the third lady took Su Jingmo with her.
The lady didn't go this time either, and asked the second lady to donate some incense money to the temple, which was also a favor from Daling Temple.
Su Xinyi's life rhythm was the same as before. She got up early to practice martial arts with her brothers, and then she went back to read books. Su Yi continued to work, leaving only a few others to continue to work hard in the martial arts field.
At the end of July, the eldest lady came back from Pingningwei. Before that, everyone had received a letter from the eldest lady, knowing that Su Baiwei had given birth to a son, named Jie Xuan.
The eldest lady came back in great joy, and brought back the local rituals from her hometown in Huaining, as well as gifts prepared by the Xie family.
In August, Su Jingmo was about to get married. The Changnan Marquis's Mansion had all the three books and six gifts, and the betrothal gifts were very generous. The third lady smiled at everyone she saw, showing that she was very satisfied.
The day before the wedding, the Duke of Qi's Mansion held a box-adding banquet for Su Jingmo. The mansion was really lively that day. Su Baiwei's portion was brought back by the eldest lady from Pingningwei herself. The eldest sister who married far away still remembered her younger sister.
Su Lanxi came early in the morning and brought her son back. Madam Xiang, Madam Gao, Madam Ji, Madam Yang and other relatives also came early.
Su Xinyi was very familiar with Madam Xiang and Aunt Gao, but it was the first time she met Madam Ji, the sister-in-law of the eldest lady, and Madam Yang, the sister-in-law of the second lady.
Lord Ji is now the governor of the Right Army, holding an important position, and Lord Yang is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, in charge of rituals, music and sacrifices. Madam Ji looks a little more arrogant, while Madam Yang is much more easy-going.
However, Su Xinyi is the future Crown Princess, and both ladies are very kind and close to her. Because it was the first time they met, Su Xinyi also received two additional gifts.
Su Xinyi greeted the ladies and went to talk to Su Jingmo with her sisters.
After Su Lanxi got married, she spent less time with her sisters, especially Xinyi. She asked the nanny to take her son out to play. She looked at Su Jingmo and smiled and said, "In the blink of an eye, the fourth sister is going to get married. It's so fast."
Su Jingmo blushed, and she was always a bit shy now.
Su Xixian rescued her by hearing this, and said, "Why hasn't the third sister arrived yet?"
As soon as the voice fell, a maid came in quickly to report that Su Chaoyan had arrived.
When Su Chaoyan arrived, everyone knew that she was late because she was pregnant, and everyone couldn't help but congratulate her again.
Su Chaoyan looked very good, and her temperament was gentle, and now that she was pregnant, she looked even gentler.
Su Jingmo said, "Third sister, you are only a month pregnant, why do you need to come in person?"
Su Chaoyan was found out to be pregnant in June, and it has not been two months at most.
"Tomorrow, my fourth sister will get married, so I won't come. I have to come today to add makeup for you." Su Chaoyan said with a smile.
Su Jingmo was very touched and said, "Thank you, Third Sister."
Su Lanxi saw that Su Chaoyan looked good, so she smiled and said, "It seems that Third Sister is living a good life in the Tu family."
Su Chaoyan didn't like to talk much when she was in the boudoir, and she didn't improve much after getting married, but when her sister asked, she still answered truthfully, "Although my husband is a concubine's son, he was raised by my mother-in-law, and she treated me very well after I got married."
"You are pregnant this time, did Mrs. Tu say to add someone to my third brother-in-law's side?" Su Lanxi asked with concern.
After Su Baiwei's divorce, Su Lanxi didn't ask these things behind her unmarried sister's back.
Su Chaoyan blushed, "My mother-in-law asked my husband, and I asked him too, but my husband said he was very busy and didn't have time to raise a concubine."
Everyone:...
Su Lanxi looked at her sister's shy look and couldn't help but smile, "That's good too. You've done your duty by asking, and you don't have to give him a concubine."
When she was pregnant, her husband said no, but it was a pity that the young master of the Bo's Mansion was more noble, and her mother-in-law loved her son more. She thought that instead of asking her mother-in-law to send someone over, it would be better for her to open her own maid's face, and she would naturally feel more at ease to use the people around her.
Although the third sister married a concubine's son, the husband chosen by her mother for her sister was indeed good.
After the box-adding banquet, the guests left one after another. Su Xinyi followed the elders to see the guests off. Madam Ji left a step later and went to the eldest lady's place to talk privately.
Madam Xiang looked at Su Xinyi and sighed in her heart. It was a pity that she was not destined to be with her daughter-in-law.
At that time, no one would have thought that the Crown Princess would fall on her head. It is useless to think about it now. We can only be thankful that the marriage did not break the window paper at the beginning, so that it will be less awkward when they meet again.
The next day, Su Jingmo got married, and the Duke's Mansion was busy early in the morning. Today, Su Xinyi went to the martial arts field as usual, but she finished half an hour earlier. The brothers were ready to embarrass the new brother-in-law, and Su Xinyi went to the third sister.
Madam Quanfu was pinching Su Jingmo's face and combing his hair. Su Lanxi also came early. Su Xixian saw Su Xinyi coming and pulled her to drink tea outside.
It was also lively when the sisters gathered together. After hearing the blessing voice of Madam Quanfu coming from inside the house, several people walked in quietly and saw that the third madam was wiping tears with red eyes.
When the auspicious time was approaching, the sound of firecrackers could be heard from afar. The Changnan Marquis Mansion came to pick up the bride.
Su Jingmo sat there, his eyes suddenly red, and he held his mother's hand tightly.
The big red veil fell, and Su Xinyi vaguely remembered that when she got married in her previous life, it was far less lively and festive than now, because the marriage was not decent, and the people in the Duke's Mansion were not very happy, not to mention the Pingjing County Prince Mansion who came to pick up the bride.
When Su Xinyi saw the happy face of the third brother-in-law, she thought that this should be the look of the groom.
Su Qi carried his sister on his back, and Su Xinyi faintly heard Su Jingmo's sobbing.
After the marriage procession left, the Duke's Mansion suddenly became quiet, and Su Jingmo's boudoir was deserted, as if the previous hustle and bustle was a dream.
Before Su Jingmo returned home after three days of marriage, a major case occurred.
The crown prince who had just recovered from his injury, as well as the Xiang Wang and Jing Wang who had just returned to the capital, and the Wu Wang who had nothing to do were all summoned to the palace.
In addition to the crown prince and several princes, there were also the adults from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice.
