Early the next morning, Ning Zijun and Lin Wanqiao were going to the old lady's Yiran Garden to have tea and a ceremony together.

After breakfast, Xiuchun and Zhixia helped Lin Wanqiao dress up.

Ning Zijun was sitting on the couch outside, checking the gift list and waiting for her.

Today we will not only meet with the old lady, Mr. Ninghou and the Song family, but also other relatives in the Ninghou Mansion will be present.

Lin Wanqiao's dress looked particularly solemn.

She wore a bright red mandarin duck floral brocade dress, her hair was combed into a bun, and a hairpin with butterfly gold and silver beads and flower trees sparkled in her hair, adding to her beauty.

When she walked out of the inner room, Ning Zijun looked up and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He stared at the dazzling Lin Wanqiao intently, his heart feeling slightly hot.

The charming scene in the bridal chamber last night came to mind, and his eyes looking at Lin Wanqiao became more passionate and affectionate.

He stood up excitedly and walked towards Lin Wanqiao, the corners of his mouth rising uncontrollably.

"Ah Qiao, you are so stunningly beautiful today."

When the maids and women serving in the room heard this, they turned their faces away and pursed their lips and snickered.

A blush instantly appeared on Lin Wanqiao's face, and she said shyly: "It's getting late, let's go to grandma's place quickly."

Ning Zijun smiled and nodded, gently holding her hand and walking out.

At this time, the old lady's room was already full of people, and laughter and laughter continued to spread.

As soon as the two of them walked into the entrance of the hospital, Qin's mother led several maids to greet them with smiles on their faces.

"I have met the prince and the young lady."

They bowed respectfully.

Lin Wanqiao nodded slightly and signaled Xi Chun to reward him.

Mother Qin and the others thanked them repeatedly and enthusiastically led them into the main room.

The atmosphere in the house was lively, with relatives sitting around and chatting happily.

Seeing the arrival of the two people, the old lady waved to Lin Wanqiao with a happy face: "My granddaughter-in-law, come to grandma quickly so that grandma can take a good look at you."

Lin Wanqiao walked towards the old lady in a dignified manner, saluted her first, and then paid homage to the Song family and other relatives and elders in turn.

The old lady took her hand and enthusiastically introduced the new granddaughter-in-law to everyone. Her love and satisfaction for Lin Wanqiao was revealed in her words.

After Lord Ning finished handling the affairs of the house, he arrived.

Lin Wanqiao returned to Ning Zijun's side and kowtowed to Lord Ning and the others together for tea.

The old lady looked at the newlyweds lovingly, picked up a pair of high-quality jadeite bracelets from the tray in Qin's mother's hand, handed them to Lin Wanqiao and joked.

"Grandma knows that Sister Qing loves you as a sister-in-law very much, and she has given you a lot of good things before. Don't think that the meeting gift grandma gave you today is stingy."

Lin Wanqiao shook her head quickly and said sincerely: "Grandma was joking. It's too late for my grandson-in-law to appreciate her love. How could she dislike such an expensive gift?"

She carefully took the bracelet and kept it in her arms.

When the old lady saw this, she was very pleased.

The relatives and relatives present here witnessed Lin Wanqiao's elegant behavior and measured speech, without finding anything wrong at all, so their favorable impression of her suddenly increased.

The atmosphere suddenly became particularly harmonious.

Ning Zijun and Lin Wanqiao sat down and looked around the room, but did not see Ning Ziqing. He couldn't help but wonder: "Why don't you see Qingqing? Hasn't she come here yet?"

Only then did Mrs. Song remember to say: "People from Xiyuan came to send a message early in the morning, saying that Sister Qing was very drunk last night. She probably won't get up until later. Let's not wait for her."

Ning Zijun frowned slightly, worried: "When she left the table last night, I clearly saw that she was not drunk, right?"

The old lady sighed helplessly: "The servants who were waiting for her said that Sister Qing secretly drank a lot of wine when she went back last night, and they couldn't stop her. She was just too happy. You can just let her do this. Suffer it."

Lin Wanqiao heard this and couldn't help but worry about Ning Ziqing's physical condition. She raised her eyes to look at Ning Zijun with concern in her eyes.

Ning Zijun noticed her thoughts and said, "In a moment, I will take Aqiao to Xiyuan to see Qingqing."

But Lord Ning said: "Zijun, there are so many people taking care of your sister, nothing will go wrong. You should go with my father to see off the guests who stayed last night."

Ning Zijun had no choice but to agree and told Lin Wanqiao: "Don't worry about Qingqing, let her sleep a little longer. I will be back after my father and I have socialized."

Lin Wanqiao nodded in agreement.

After the two father and son left, the women gathered around and chatted with Lin Wanqiao and made daily arrangements.

The second cousin came to Mrs. Song's side and muttered: "Brother and sister, today is the first time that the bride comes to pay homage to you, the mistress of the Hou Mansion. Why don't you act like a mother-in-law and show off your authority?"

Mrs. Song's face darkened, and she secretly scolded this stupid woman for being so troublesome. She actually wanted her to leave the impression of a bad mother-in-law on her new daughter-in-law's first day, which was simply causing trouble for her.

A trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, but her face showed a calm expression.

"Second sister-in-law, how could a prestigious family like ours in the Marquis Mansion lose its sense of proportion like a small family? I think my daughter-in-law is dignified and generous, and I like it very much. I only hope that she and Zijun will be harmonious, and Qinse will be harmonious. It’s chirping.”

The second cousin was choked speechless by these words. She heard the ridicule in them and felt unhappy, so she had to walk away angrily.

Mrs. Song took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened, turned to the old lady and said: "Mother, I think Aqiao has just entered the family and is not familiar with many affairs in the house. Our family estate is now huge, and the stewardship will be handed over to the housekeeper sooner or later. Her hand. How about I select a few women and maids who are familiar with affairs to serve her and help her, so that she can learn to be a housekeeper early."

The old lady thought for a moment and felt that Mrs. Song had thought carefully, so she nodded in agreement.

"Sister Qing has made it clear earlier that she will hand over the Sifang Building and Embroidered Hefang to Aqiao. If she is allowed to take care of the affairs of the house again, I'm afraid she won't be able to do anything else. In the future, I need you to help her more and share the burden for her. some."

Mrs. Song agreed with a smile, already understanding the old lady's intentions.

Sifanglou and Xiuhefang are the most profitable properties in the hands of the two brothers and sisters. Ning Ziqing will get married soon. The old lady has selfish motives and naturally does not want these to be taken away with her as a dowry.

What's more, Embroidery Hefang is about to become a royal embroidery workshop, and its importance is self-evident.

Ning Ziqing would not let the Song family intervene in the management of these things, so only by handing these two properties to Lin Wanqiao could the old lady feel at ease.

When the time comes, when Ning Zilan marries the second prince, she will still have to rely on the financial support of the Ninghou Mansion to compete for the crown prince's position.

Now, it was not the time to break up with the two brothers and sisters. She wanted to help Ning Zilan become the crown princess, so she had to make plans for Lin Wanqiao.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Song immediately ordered Mother Cui to fetch the mother-in-law and maid who had already arranged.

After Lin Wanqiao learned the news, she saw that some of the maids Cui's mother had brought in were of outstanding beauty, and she immediately understood the methods commonly used in this house.

Although she was reluctant, she thought that if she refused face to face on the first day, she might be known as "disrespecting the elders", so she couldn't refuse and had to accept Song's pretense.

Mrs. Song was quite satisfied with Lin Wanqiao's reaction, and was secretly proud of herself.

The two siblings were difficult to deal with, but the new daughter-in-law was relatively easy to handle.

As long as she has an informant around Ning Zijun, it will be much easier to act in the future.

By noon, all the guests had left, and there were only three tables in the front hall.

After Ning Ziqing and Jiang Quhan woke up from sleep, they came to the hall to eat together.

Everyone saluted the two and said hello. After the two sat down, they took their seats.

During the dinner, Ning Ziqing showed great concern to Lin Wanqiao and asked her if she was still used to living in Xinglu Garden. If she was lacking anything, just ask someone to buy it.

Lin Wanqiao said everything was fine.

Ning Ziqing felt relieved after hearing this. They sat next to each other, looking very intimate.

When Gardenia was preparing dishes for Lin Wanqiao, she tried to mention to Ning Ziqing several times that the Song family had sent people to Xinglu Garden, but Xichun glared back.

Gardenia had no choice but to give up.

After lunch, Fang Yu came to report that Prince Sola was going to visit Kyoto and specially invited Jiang Quhan and Ning Ziqing to accompany him.

The two of them took a short rest, went back to their respective gardens to change clothes, and then took a carriage together to the post house.

Not long after they left, Su Yanqi sent Qingxu to invite Ning Zijun.

Qingxu whispered to Ning Zijun that some clues had been uncovered in Zeng Ji's case and he needed to come to the government to discuss it.

Ning Zijun was eager to find out the truth, so he hurriedly gave Lin Wanqiao a few words, and then hurried to the Su Mansion with Qingxu.
