Jiang Qingxue lifted up her skirt and walked away in a sway.

The nanny beside Jiang Zhili stared at Jiang Qingxue's slim waist and murmured.

"Second Miss, have you noticed that since the last time the eldest daughter committed suicide by taking poison, her whole person has changed. The old slave can't say for sure. I just feel that she has become strange. Her figure has also changed, and her face has changed." It’s also become more beautiful…”

The two sisters, who are obviously only two months apart, would be fine if they weren't standing together. Once they were standing together, Jiang Zhili looked like a shriveled yellow-haired girl.

Jiang Zhili was restless and in no mood to pay attention to Jiang Qingxue's changes.

"So what if it's beautiful?"

Even if she was as beautiful as a fairy, Brother Yi would not give her a second look.

The outer courtyard was already crowded with people. The steward of the Shen family was counting the betrothal gifts. The servants happily carried them to the warehouse. Jiang Zhongyao and Mrs. Zhao were also very attentive, sending tea, water, melons and fruits to the flower hall.

Jiang Qingxue stood for a long time and did not see Zhou Xuanzhang's shadow. She only saw the maids who came out, all of them were shy and timid. When they walked to a deserted place, they couldn't help but whisper a few words.

Jiang Qingxue's eyes were filled with smiles.

"You don't need to look at it to know that General Zhou must be majestic and heroic. The second sister is really born in the blessings and does not know the blessings. She just likes the pretty boy from the Shen family."

She turned around and walked back. Since she was the destined person, she would naturally see her on the wedding day, so why bother with it.

Hearing this, Xingyu was so frightened that she stuck out her tongue.

"Miss, please don't say these words again. I don't know what Mr. Shen will think if he hears them. The relationship between you has finally eased..."

Jiang Qingxue smiled, so what if she knew?

When Zhou Xuanzhang came out of the flower hall, he happened to see a woman wearing a white dress walking away gracefully. He thought it was Jiang Zhili and couldn't help but take a second look.

When Zhao saw this, she quickly smiled and joked.

"General, that is our eldest girl Qingxue. This child is really good. She must have heard that General Zhou is coming and wants to see the general. My daughter's family is so shameless that she was so shy that she ran away when the general came out."

Jiang Zhiyao listened in a daze, thinking that Mrs. Zhao was so happy that she forgot all about it, so she hurriedly coughed a few times, stretched out her hand and said.

"Ahem, cough, cough, Xuanzhang, let me take you out."

Zhou Xuanzhang felt he had lost his composure and hurriedly looked away.

"Master Shen, please stay."

Jiang Zhiyao saw Zhou Xuanzhang away and looked at the heavy betrothal gift list with a rare smile on his face.

"Madam, I see that those rumors are not credible."

Mrs. Zhao snorted.

"It's not me who said it, it was the third family member who said it. I don't know what the intention is? It's just that Li'er is still thinking about the Shen family. As a mother, I am really worried day and night, just afraid that something will go wrong again. I think Now, it’s better to do this quickly, not later, lest you have long nights and lots of dreams.”

Jiang Zhiyao nodded approvingly.

"Madam is right. There are only three good days next year. However, Qingxue has already scheduled it for February, and Li'er can only schedule it for May. It just so happens that Xuanzhang will stay in the capital for half a year."

Mrs. Zhao smiled and glared at him.

"Sir, you are confused. General Zhou is already twenty-five this year. Mrs. Zhou has long wanted to have her grandson. This time she returned to Beijing specifically to get married. You want me to wait until May. Isn't this intentional to offend the Zhou family? Anyway, you want me to wait until May. We are all marrying off daughters, why not marry them both on the same day and get a double happiness?"

Jiang Zhiyao nodded frequently.

"That makes sense, that makes sense. Just do it as Madam does. Why don't you go to Zhou's house tomorrow to reply to the letter? Also, it's time to prepare the dowries for Qingxue and Li'er. How much of the things left by the eldest brother are left? Let's all get married together. She's better, so that the third room won't keep talking about it, and Li'er can't be careless."

The Zhou family's betrothal gift was quite heavy, and he couldn't afford to lose face.

When Zhao thought that the thing that Sanfang had been thinking about for more than ten years, she would be able to marry Jiang Zhili right away, she felt really happy and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I'm not a shallow-sighted person. Give her all the things left by my elder brother and sister-in-law. If it's not enough, it doesn't matter if I add more. You don't have to worry about Li'er."

The couple discussed for half the night. Jiang Zhiyao obeyed whatever Zhao said. The two of them had never been so harmonious. Jiang Zhiyao was also happy and lay down with Zhao in his arms.

"Madam, it's late at night, it's time to rest."

In the next half month, Jiang Zhiyao did not go to the two aunts' rooms. Mrs. Zhao's whole face was radiant, and she was even more attentive to the dowry.

……

Jiang Zhili's side was also quiet. She went back to her room and cried for half the night. She was unwilling to marry into the Zhou family. Mrs. Zhao was so troubled by her that she had a headache, so she had to tell her about the marriage change and told her to be careful. Don't let it slip, it's best not to even meet Jiang Qingxue and the people from the third room.

Only then did Jiang Zhili burst into laughter.

"But did Brother Yi choose Jiang Qingxue's jewelry for her?"

Mrs. Zhao poked her forehead.

"You're stupid, Mrs. Shen picked it all, so she just deceived you little girls. As a man, Shen Yi, how can he know the preferences of women?"

Jiang Zhili was relieved.

Since then, I have been embroidering wedding dresses, pillow covers, purses, and all kinds of embroidery in my room every day. When I met Jiang Qingxue by chance, her eyes showed a sense of superior pride and some disdain.

Xingyu ran back and forth to report to Jiang Qingxue.

"Eldest lady, it seems that the second lady has given up. I just went to Haitang Courtyard and saw her embroidering a wedding dress. She was giggling while embroidering. She was struggling to survive a few days ago. Do you think she has changed too quickly? Already?"

Jiang Qingxue smiled meaningfully.

"Just think about it, it will be good for everyone."

Xingyu was happy for Jiang Qingxue for a while and then asked again.

"But Miss, why don't you embroider your wedding dress?"

Jiang Qingxue flicked her wrist.

"My hands are weak, maybe because I'm too poisoned, so I'll let the embroiderer finish the embroidery."

Xingyu didn't expose her, the second young lady also figured it out, and the eldest master Shen also figured it out. Only the eldest lady still had a grudge, and she didn't know how to persuade her.

……

Winter is turning to spring, and the day of getting married is getting closer and closer.

Zhao changed her usual friendly demeanor and became tense. If this matter went wrong, Li'er's life would be over.

Jiang Qingxue was also inexplicably nervous. She asked Xiao Fuzi to go to Zhou Mansion in advance to inquire about it. She even remembered clearly the sedan chair, Xi Po, and the bearer who came to pick up the bride.

February 16th was a beautiful spring day. The Shen Mansion became lively early in the morning. Firecrackers kept going off, and the door was crowded with people watching the fun. Mrs. Zhao was very happy. She was extra generous today and scattered several waves of copper coins. .

"Two daughters are getting married at the same time. It's really a double happiness..."

"The Shen family is here to pick up the bride..."

"The Zhenguo General's Mansion is also here..."

"You must have boarded the wrong sedan chair..."
