Two days later, the renovation of Wutong Courtyard was completed.
The day of Tang Cheng's wedding is getting closer and closer.
She went to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion with her maid and guards.
Tang Xin did not go with them. She was very busy learning how to manage the household from her stepmother Zhang. Ever since her father, the Marquis, saw through her, she couldn't wait to get married.
Tang Cheng soon arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
These days, every time the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo heard that Tang Cheng was coming to visit, her face turned slightly green.
Which mother-in-law is as cowardly as her
She wanted to act like a mother-in-law and also wanted Tang Si's cooperation, but Tang Si couldn't stand being wronged. He would start to argue and be brutal and violent at the slightest disagreement.
It's so frustrating.
Tang Cheng didn't know that she had caused trouble for the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo again, and she came to Wutong Courtyard excitedly.
This day happened to be Wen Huaian's day off, and he was taking Su Jingxing and Qi Changxiu to visit the renovated courtyard.
The two looked amazed and envious.
Unexpectedly, Tang Si did not make a mess of the yard, but made it beautiful instead.
With Tang Cheng's arrival, Wutong Courtyard became more lively.
The group sat in the pavilion and chatted. Su Jingxing and Qi Changxiu watched the natural and intimate interaction between Wen Huaian and Tang Cheng with twitching lips.
"Tang Si, you are about to get married, why don't you look like a bride at all?" Su Jingxing was speechless.
This Tang Si was simply the most leisurely and unpretentious bride-to-be he had ever seen.
Often visit my future husband's house.
She also made a big fuss about remodeling her future husband’s yard.
They disregarded feudal ethics and morals.
Tang Cheng smiled and said, "Who made me have a fiancé who takes care of everything?"
The tone was full of boasting.
Wen Huaian's lips curled up slightly, and a smile appeared on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
Su Jingxing: “…”
Qi Changxiu: “…”
The four maids: "..."
Tang Cheng suddenly remembered something important and looked at the two people in front of him with sharp eyes.
"In a few days it will be the time to add makeup. In order to avoid no one coming to visit, Prince Su, Master Qi, remember to come and add makeup for me."
Wen Huaian couldn't help laughing.
Tang Cheng actually asked his two good friends to come to her house to add makeup to her. Does she treat them as sisters
Su Jingxing and Qi Changxiu almost choked on their own saliva, and looked at Tang Cheng with strange eyes.
"Tang Si, only girls come to give dowry to their new brides, how can an unmarried man come to give dowry?"
Tang Cheng's eyes widened.
"Can't it be for both men and women?"
Wen Huaian laughed muffledly.
The four maids covered their faces.
Su Jingxing couldn't help but glared at Wen Huaian and coughed lightly: "Yes, it's okay, but if a man wants to add dowry to the bride, he usually sends someone to deliver it."
An unmarried man goes to a new bride's home to add dowry to her. Isn't this intentionally destroying the bride's reputation and disgusting
Most people wouldn't do such a thing.
Tang Si, however, was careless and asked them to come over to her house to add makeup...
The two couldn't help but look at Wen Huaian, who was calm and composed, and the corners of their mouths twitched.
Tang Cheng looked at them expectantly: "Then remember to send me some makeup in a big way."
Su Jingxing and Qi Changxiu were both very upset. They had never seen a bride who asked others for more dowry so directly. Only Tang Si was such a weirdo.
"good."
Tang Cheng was instantly satisfied. Even if no one gave her makeup, Su Jingxing and Qi Changxiu would provide her with makeup in a grand manner, so she would not be in an awkward situation.
"By the way, you should tell Prince Rong that as a friend, he should also contribute his part." Tang Cheng remembered that he had a friend, Prince Rong, and quickly dragged him out.
Wen Huaian: “…”
Su Jingxing and Qi Changxiu looked at each other, nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, we will remind Master Xiao."
Tang Cheng was very satisfied.
Wen Huaian’s two good friends are really nice.
The four main maids were all frowning, thinking it was so embarrassing for the young lady to ask others for more makeup.
After talking about adding makeup, the topic turned to Tang Cheng's belly.
Su Jingxing and Qi Changxiu were both surprised to see Tang Cheng looking so energetic and rosy-looking.
They have seen many pregnant women, all of whom wanted to stay in the yard to guard their fetuses. However, Tang Cheng was different. She stayed in the yard to guard her fetuses, but the fetus in her belly was fine and healthy.
The two couldn't help but ask Tang Cheng if he had a secret recipe.
"All this is thanks to the strengthening potion."
Tang Cheng said proudly.
Su Jingxing and Qi Changxiu: "..."
Another strengthening potion!
This strengthening potion is amazing.
Didn’t you see that Wen Huaian is not only healthy now, but his martial arts skills are also improving by leaps and bounds
The two of them were so envious that their eyes turned red, but it was a pity that no one could make this potion.
Tang Cheng stumbled upon it by accident.
The second attempt at refining also failed, but Tang Cheng's failure was different from others, with a lot of messy effects.
They have not forgotten the tragic lesson of the stinking palace.
So no one asked Tang Si to make body-strengthening potions anymore.
If poisonous gas is produced, it will be fatal.
As they chatted, it was noon unknowingly. Because Wen Huaian was also there, Tang Cheng did not return to Nanyang Marquis Mansion at Wen Huaian's request, but stayed at Zhenguo Mansion to have lunch with them.
When the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo found out, she was furious, but she could do nothing about Tang Si. She had to ask the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal for them according to the diet of pregnant women.
I was so angry.
Her confidante, the nanny, felt angry and distressed to see her mistress being so irritated by Fourth Miss Tang, and she hated Fourth Miss Tang in her heart.
"Madam, calm down and don't let your anger get you sick. It won't be too late to settle the matter when Miss Tang Si gives birth..."
Lady Min, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, was still furious. She understood what her trusted nanny meant. She just wanted to kill the mother and keep the son. But she didn't think about it. With the importance the Duke and his son attached to Tang Si, would they have a chance to do it? They might be exposed before they even start.
"No, we can't do it."
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo sternly stopped her from doing so. She couldn't make the same mistake again.
Offspring are the Duke’s Achilles’ heel.
The trusted nanny had no choice but to give up the idea.
After Tang Cheng had a sumptuous lunch, Wen Huaian sent him back to Nanyang Marquis Mansion.
…
As the wedding day draws closer, the Nanyang Marquis's Mansion becomes more festive and lively.
Prince Wen has personally delivered Tang Cheng's wedding dress. The embroiderers in the palace are indeed extraordinary.
The bright red wedding dress is dazzling and extremely beautiful.
Tang Cheng was amazed.
She tried on the wedding dress, and it actually covered her pregnant belly. Tang Cheng was very satisfied.
Now Tang Xin is determined to get close to Tang Cheng. When she sees Tang Cheng's wedding dress, her eyes are almost filled with envy. She fantasizes that she can also wear such a beautiful wedding dress when she gets married.
Unfortunately, her wedding date is scheduled for next year.
She still has to stay in Nanyang Marquis' Mansion for another year.
Tang Xin felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.
Now her stepmother Zhang no longer cares about her, turns a blind eye to her affairs, and even builds a small Buddhist temple in the yard.
Tang Xin was frightened at first, but later, when she saw that her father, the Marquis, and her adoptive mother did not do anything to her, and thought that she was now the fiancée of the Fourth Prince, her fear disappeared without a trace, and she came into contact with Tang Cheng more and more frequently.
Tang Cheng didn't care about it.
Yesterday, Tang Cheng's eldest brother and second brother both rushed back from the academy.
The two of them were distant and cold towards Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng didn't care.
She discovered that her eldest brother and Tang Xin, a pair of siblings from the same mother who had a very good relationship, had become estranged.
Thinking about it carefully, Tang Cheng was not surprised at all. Tang Xin had already exposed his abnormality, and it was good enough that he was not treated as a monster.
The wedding date was set hastily, so Tang Cheng did not wear any makeup, but adding makeup was a spontaneous act of relatives and friends.
Usually it is done to add makeup to the bride a few days before her wedding.
Many people in Beijing are paying attention to this matter.
Tang Cheng has no close friends, is pregnant before marriage, and has a bad reputation. Apart from her own relatives, it is estimated that no one will come to share in her good fortune.
After Tang Xin gave Tang Cheng some extra dowry, she stayed in the Peony Garden to observe the situation. Seeing Tang Cheng eating and drinking leisurely, and even the four maids fanning him were extremely calm, Tang Xin couldn't help but ask.
"Fourth sister, aren't you worried?"
Tang Cheng said lazily: "Don't worry."
But she was secretly proud in her heart. She was well prepared. It was enough to have the three of them, Prince Su, to make her proud.
Not long after, Mrs. Yang came in again and again, reporting happily.
"Miss, Prince Su from Dingbei Marquis's Mansion sent four loads of dowry!"
"Miss, the eldest young master of Duke Qi's mansion sent four loads of dowry!"
"Miss, Prince Rong sent six loads of dowry!"
Tang Cheng's mouth corners curled up high.
They did not disappoint her.
Tang Xin was stunned and felt dazed.
What, what is going on
It costs a lot to add makeup, isn't that too much
Not only Tang Xin was shocked, but also those who were ready to laugh at Tang Cheng were stunned.
Liu Jintong was so angry that his eyes turned red.
The more successful Tang Cheng is, the more her revenge seems like a joke.
Perhaps it was a good start, as more and more people came to add makeup to the bride's house, and the gifts brought by each person were quite valuable and high-end.
Except for her two married sisters, Tang Cheng didn't know any of the others, but that didn't stop her from being happy.
“It’s good to have a good role model!”
“I’m going to be rich!”
Tang Cheng counted the dowry he had received and said happily.
Tang Xin went from being shocked at first to being numb now.
Why did she feel that Prince Su and the others were like so-called shills, who were specifically trying to raise Tang Cheng's status
For three consecutive days, there was an endless stream of people coming to add dowry. Apart from those who were related to the Nanyang Marquis's Mansion, there were also those who were related to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion by marriage.
The Min family, the maiden family of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, was also among them.
Even Wen Huaian's two married sisters came to add to her dowry.
Tang Cheng never refuses anyone who comes.
I'm so overwhelmed with gifts.
Tang Xin was filled with envy. Tang Cheng's marriage was so glorious, so if she married the Fourth Prince, her marriage might be even more glorious.
When Tang Xin was imagining a bright future, Mrs. Yang came in with a happy face and reported loudly.
"Miss, the Fourth Prince sent six pallets of dowry for you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became quiet.
Tang Xin's hand shook violently and the teacup almost fell to the ground. She couldn't hide the shock in her eyes.
The Fourth Prince actually sent six loads of dowry to Tang Cheng!
How is that possible
Six lifts...
This is no small amount.
The Fourth Prince should hate Tang Cheng very much, so why would he be so generous to give Tang Cheng face
Tang Xin unconsciously clenched the teacup in his hand, feeling very uncomfortable.
