Ruan Xinyu was quite satisfied with the Jiang Family’s dowry and handed the docunts to her husband.
She looked at Yin Manqing and said, "Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, isn’t this dowry a bit too much?"
"Not at all," Yin Manqing replied with a smile, "I was worried it might not be enough. This was prepared quite hastily, after all. Our Jing Heng is lucky to marry such a wonderful bride like Yanyan."
No matter how much courtesy was in Yin Manqing’s words, the Zhuang Family mbers seed more pleased. Who wouldn’t want their daughter to be valued by her husband’s family?
The generous dowry also showed their sincere intention to marry.
Zhuang Zeyang looked through it and then handed the docunts to Zhuang Shaoyang.
Zhuang Shaoyang sneered at the dowry, as if he couldn’t afford it himself.
He felt these people wanted to buy his daughter with money, and his face instantly turned stern.
Don’t think he can’t handle them after the marriage. Just as he was about to speak, Mrs. Zhuang started talking.
"The dowry amount doesn’t matter to us. Ultimately, the happiness of the two children is most important. Now, it’s ti to talk about the wedding. We Zhuang Family can’t be vague when marrying our daughter."
Yin Manqing quickly responded, "Of course, once back in Upper City, I will start preparing for the wedding."
Ruan Xinyu followed up, "Our Nuannuan has had a hard life; her mother is no longer here. She is young and might not understand the customs well, so Mother-in-law, please look after her. If there is anything that requires help, feel free to tell . I consider her as my daughter and care for her."
Yin Manqing looked at this group from the Zhuang Family with so interest, noticing that Mu Yan’s father and stepmother seed incapable of making decisions, whereas the aunt treated her with much concern.
No wonder, in a world with stepmothers, there are also stepfathers. Mu Yan is quite lucky in this regard.
"Since sister-in-law said that, I won’t stand on ceremony when the ti cos." Yin Manqing said with a smile.
The elders were talking back and forth, leaving no room for Mu Yan and Jiang Jingheng to speak.
The two exchanged a knowing glance, realizing that this marriage had a heavier significance, extending beyond their personal feelings, symbolizing a deeper bond between the two families.
Of course, the most awkward couple had to be Zhuang Shaoyang and Liang Rong, as no one seed to care about their opinions from start to finish.
Once the conversation winded down, the Zhuang Family invited Yin Manqing and Jiang Zhenghong’s couple to stay over for a al.
The Jiang Family and Zhuang Family had longstanding ties. Even without a marital bond, it was only natural for the Zhuang Family to host the Jiang Family during their visit to Beijing.
Jiang Zhenghong’s couple didn’t refuse. After lunch, the n went to the study for so gas, while the won stayed in the living room for casual chats.
Seeing so many people, Ruan Xinyu felt chatting alone was a bit boring, thus she suggested playing Mahjong.
Mrs. Zhuang was one participant, Yin Manqing was another, Liang Rong the third, and the last spot was originally ant for Ruan Xinyu, but she insisted on having Mu Yan play instead.
"Why have three mbers of the sa family at a Mahjong table? You co and play with your mother-in-law, that’s more fair." Ruan Xinyu pushed Mu Yan towards the seat.
Mu Yan felt slightly embarrassed, "I don’t know how to play this."
"It’s okay, as long as you have money to lose," Mrs. Zhuang joked.
Yin Manqing chid in, "If you don’t have enough money, ask Jing Heng to bring you so. How can a wife play Mahjong without capital?"
Mu Yan glanced at her; if not for knowing her past actions, she might genuinely think she was a considerate mother-in-law.
She smiled and said, "All right, just don’t mind if I’m slow."
"We’re just playing for fun, so it’s fine," Liang Rong added.
