Wang Keru was filled with emotions and felt like crying, but she was no longer a young girl and had seen much of the world, so she knew how to manage her emotions.
She smiled, reached out to smooth her hair, and a pure blood-red pigeon egg glistened brightly.
Then, she gently said, "Dad, what’s all this? Such a big spectacle, Anxi’s wedding is set, but it’s not today."
She played dumb, not wanting to give a way out, and Old Wang lanted that his daughter was not close to him anymore. Still, things had to proceed, so he said softly, "Anxi’s wedding will naturally be prepared, but this is for you, Keru."
"For ?" Wang Keru laughed. "Dad, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? I’ve been married for over twenty years, why would I need this, unless..."
She hesitated for a mont: "Unless you’ve been ill, not thinking straight, no wonder Anxi said she’d make a cut, how about this, quickly contact the hospital and let Xichen operate on you, it’ll surely be fine."
Old Wang was so angry he didn’t know what to say, and looked at his wife: "You talk to her."
Madam Wang was affectionate, holding her daughter’s hand, "Your father, your brothers and sisters-in-law all ant to say this, it’s rare that the whole family is together now, we wanted to make up for the past neglect. This should have been your wedding dignity, Keru, don’t hold a grudge against your parents."
Wang Keru felt a tremble inside. She was inherently proud, and the disdain from her family had always been a thorn in her heart. In Qingcheng, everyone was pointing fingers behind her back. But now, her family stood in front of all Qingcheng and gave her what she deserved back then.
Though she no longer needed it, she wanted this dignity.
At this mont, the elder sister-in-law of the Wang family quickly brewed a cup of flower tea and handed it to the old man and old lady, personally passing it to the daughter.
Elders offering tea to the younger generation, this was simply... a commotion in the crowd.
Wang Keru said with trembling lips: "There’s no need for this."
A pair of hands appeared on her shoulder, she turned her head and saw her husband.
Gu Yuntian, after all, was sensible. He knew today’s spectacle was all orchestrated by Anxi, and Keru deserved it, but everything should be asured. He held the tea, smiled lightly: "Keru is the junior, this cup of tea is for the old lady, it’s not easy to give birth and raise children."
After speaking, he steadily handed it to the old lady.
The old lady looked gratefully at her son-in-law, aware that if Keru were to drink it out of pride, their family’s face could never be retrieved from Qingcheng.
The old lady also drank steadily.
The Wang family wiped their sweat.
Old Wang chuckled: "Yuntian, all these years, has not been easy either, Keru’s temperant is difficult but bear with it."
Gu Yuntian smiled: "Keru is the best wife."
Wang Keru was still sowhat emotional, turning to gaze at her husband, unable to hide the affection in her eyes.
The onlookers could see it, and slowly dispersed, now all of Qingcheng knew, deep in the heart of Mrs. Gu, it was always Mr. Gu, nothing to do with the Qin family, but the Qin family... seems to have been long ago.
The crowd dispersed, Old Wang was led into the house, looking disheveled, Gu Yuntian knew how to be accommodating, not making it difficult, and with food and drink as needed, not saying much more, as for Wang family’s company matters, he didn’t speak much, kids grow up and have their own ideas, today’s gesture for her mother’s face is good enough.
He was very astute, Old Wang didn’t gain anything from him, after the al they chatted about family matters for a while, the old man eager about Jiangcheng matters wanted to leave but leaving quickly could seem improper.
After thinking it over, decided to stay for the night and leave tomorrow.
At the mont, each arranged their accommodations, and the two sister-in-laws of the Wang family returned to their rooms, particularly envious of Wang Keru’s life—
"I heard they don’t live here anymore but keep it so luxurious, wonder what Beicheng’s residence is like."
"Isn’t it, look at the pigeon egg on her hand, even redder than last ti, who knows how much it costs."
"Isn’t it Anxi who bought it, how much dirty money has she earned."
The more they talked, the worse it felt, the elder sister-in-law continued: "Although things are like this, at ho, old lady still favors the daughter, you know, brought lots of treasures, I think the old lady seems in favor of her son, but Anxi being so capable now must have changed her mind."
The second sister-in-law frowned: "Can’t be so, if she favors more, what’s left for the eldest and second?"
...
On the other side, Madam Wang was saying intimate things to her daughter, they were not close anymore, but having co to Qingcheng and seeing her daughter living well and with dignity, naturally her thoughts changed.
The old lady asked so questions and then sighed: "In the past, we mistreated you, you never said but I knew in my heart, so this ti you have everything, the elder sister-in-law and second may not be happy but they just gossip without much action, one can’t control her husband, the eldest is out partying all the ti, the other is not close to her husband, your second brother thinks deeply, but it’s not a good thing, over the years always thinks about others and the second sister-in-law appears as a nominal couple, I didn’t use to think much of it, thought that’s how it goes in big families, look the other way past it, but today I saw you and Yuntian, you’re genuinely good, the days of your eldest and second brother seem quite improper."
Wang Keru fanned herself briskly: "It’s nothing, Anxi’s family with Mr. Bo and Mrs. are truly good."
Madam Wang doubted: "That Mr. Bo looks very deep in thought, can he be subdued?"
Wang Keru smiled: "Why not? The one in Beicheng is truly remarkable, Mr. Bo is tad willingly."
Madam Wang recited AMTF to herself, then said: "It seems, your elder and second brother are really living worse than pigs and dogs."
