Heng Yi held Han Qiao in his arms and kissed her eyelids.
“When Ah-Xiu and the others get married in the future, and Cheng’er and Ah-Yao get married, we won’t invite them.”
“We don’t need to care about what others say, as long as we have a clear conscience.”
When power reached a certain height of success, there would be people who would find excuses for you even when you did something wrong.
Han Qiao nodded.
Then, she smiled at Heng Yi.
Today was Han Chi’s wedding, so they could not be sad.
There was still a wedding banquet in the evening, and some guests would be coming.
In the bridal chamber, the Heng family first stared at Li Mi’s dowry, and they were all dumbfounded. They were so shocked that they didn’t even dare to breathe too hard.
‘Oh my G.o.d, how rich is this girl’s family? Her dowry is piled up in many rooms, and every room is guarded by servant girls and old women.’
In the bridal chamber, Old Woman Heng praised Li Mi. However, she spoke in the dialect of Puyi County, so Li Mi did not understand a word she uttered. She could only smile a little.
Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Ke also sat by her side.
There were also the Feng and Luo sisters who were familiar with each other, so Li ATi didn’t feel awkward and alone.
Sun Xiu called out to Old Woman Heng and asked her to sit down.
Li Mi stood up and poured tea for her. She also called out, “Grandma.”
“Aiyo, aiyo.” Old Woman Heng said, feeling extremely pleased.
The sisters-in-law of the Heng family didn’t dare to breathe too loudly. Li Mi poured tea for them and the older woman excitedly reached out to take it.
This was the princess of the royal family, not a girl from an ordinary family.
Their lives were worth it to be able to taste the tea served by the princess.
No matter what was said in the room, Sun Xiu and the others would translate it for Li Mi. Li Mi didn’t need to say anything and just smiled.
With the addition of sweets, pastries, and fruits, the house was very lively.
Han Yuan stood outside for a while before she took a deep breath and entered.
Old Woman Heng said sarcastically, “Aiyo, in-law, what took you so long? Where did you go?”
Han Yuan’s face darkened at the remark, “I just took a walk for a while,”
“Then quickly come over and sit. Eat the fruit.”
Old Woman Heng acted as if she were the host.
Han Yuan glared at her.
Sun Xiu watched from the side, her heart tightening slightly.
How did Grandma become like this…
She thought for a moment and two words crossed her mind: mean and unreasonable.
She had long known that Old Woman Heng was fierce, unreasonable, sharp-tongued, and vicious.
Grandma was gentle and loving.
But now, the two of them seem to have reversed their personalities.

Sun Xiu didn’t understand what had happened to make a person’s temperament change so much.
However, she was still willing to get close to Han Yuan. She went forward and held her arm affectionately. “Grandma, please sit down.”
Mother Han nodded.
Li Mi poured tea for her and handed it over, “Grandma, have some tea.”

Li Mi was beautiful and had a gentle personality. She spoke and did things generously.
Mother Han took the teacup and took a sip. Then, she put on the airs of an elder.

Li Mi laughed in her heart.
To be honest, this biological grandma was not as easy to coax as that cheap grandma.
That cheap Grandma would be overjoyed if she gave her as much as a small gift-
The biological grandmother looked as if she wanted more.
She turned her head and winked at Sun Xiu.
Sun Xiu laughed.
Her sister-in-law was a smart person.
Her intelligence was greater than her grandmother’s schemes.
Sun Xiu served Han Yuan some fruits, “Grandma, please eat.”
“Ha…” The woman sighed.
Han Yuan thought she hadn’t changed much.
But in reality, the children were well aware of her actions.
Sun Xiu sighed in her heart.
As granddaughters, they would be sad if their grandmother became like this, but they would move on from it after a while.
The one who was very upset was their mother.
Sun Xiu pursed her lips, but one would not notice her worry from her expression. She was still smiling.
She had learned to hide her thoughts and to remain calm in any situation.
Especially with today’s situation, it would be inauspicious if anything happened on her brother’s and sister-in-law’s big day.
Li Mi woke up early that morning and could still feel the exhaustion hanging on her body. When Han Chi was pushed in, everyone in the room laughed merrily.
His face was as red as a monkey’s b.u.t.t.
Li Mi’s face was also red with embarra.s.sment.
Everyone teased them, and the two of them blushed even more.
With this ruckus, the bridal chamber was exceptionally lively.
No matter what they were thinking, the bride and groom had started their new journey. They all sincerely wished the two of them a happy marriage and a harmonious future.
The weather was so hot that it made people angry, but the bridal chamber was cool.
Only then did Old Woman Heng realize that there was a large ice cube in the corner. It was placed in a large porcelain jar. When it melted, someone would come and carry it out, and then bring another piece in.
Old Woman Heng secretly clicked her tongue.
Her desire to stay grew even stronger.
No matter what, she would be obedient and not cause any trouble as long as she could stay. She also wanted to have meat to eat every meal, have maids to serve her, and go out to listen to the opera every day…
It was a beautiful dream anyone would have.
With this thought in mind, Old Woman Heng decided to go and talk to Han Qiao. Today was a joyous day, so Han Qiao probably wouldn’t reject their request.
It was more convenient and reliable to order her own people around.
Madam Feng and Feng Xinru rested for a while before returning to the festivity.
After they arrived, other guests slowly trickled in, one after another.
Some of the guests did not go back to their homes. They chatted in the guest courtyard or played drinking games in the pavilion. When more people gathered together, they could always find something else to do to pa.s.s the time.
Some of them would also go to the city for a walk. In short, they were busy with their own things and did not disturb each other.
Some people took advantage of this opportunity to get to know people who were beneficial to their future.
When Old Woman Heng came over, Han Qiao was chatting with someone.
“Mother,” Han Qiao stood up when she noticed her.
The others also greeted her politely, “Madam,”
“Aiyo.”
Old Woman Heng was delighted.
When she was in the countryside or town, people called her Old Woman Heng.
Some people called her the shrew of the Heng family, an old witch, an old pious woman.
This was the first time someone had called her ‘Madam’. She was so lost in her own world that she couldn’t even find her bearings.
He laughed foolishly.
“Please sit down, Mother.” Han Qiao invited the old madam to sit down.
“Ha… Good, good,” Old Woman Heng sat down properly.
She didn’t understand what these madams were saying, but it didn’t stop her from being happy.
Other madams fawned over her. With such flattery, she became even more arrogant and wanted to stay even more.
In the evening, the banquet began.
The dinner was about the same as lunch, but a few dishes had been changed.
The Heng Family was eating happily and contentedly.
Meanwhile, on the Han Family’s side, Han Yuan was feeling uncomfortable, and the three Han Brothers had different thoughts brewing in their mind.
On the other hand, the uncles were in a good mood.
To be able to eat such a sumptuous feast in this lifetime, it would be enough for them to brag for the rest of their lives.
After the banquet, the young people went to the bridal chamber.
The older ones either left first or waited for their children to leave together.
There were also some who sat at the side and chatted.
Old Woman Heng wanted to talk to Han Qiao, but she was very busy.
She had to send the guest off.
These guests even invited Han Qiao to visit their home in a few days and bring the children of the two families to get to know each other.
These people did not think much of her children in the early days. Now that they were talking about marriage, it was all for the sake of social climbing.
But they still couldn’t climb up….
