Then I deliberately went out of the city to find soone to calculate so auspicious dates for the bride to choose from.
Yang Chuxia and Ms. Wang took a look and chose October 18, the golden autumn harvest season, which is a very good date for a wedding.
Originally, the wedding was planned to be held at Old Mu’s private residence, but after the recent honors, the Emperor granted Old Mu a State Duke’s mansion, and this wedding could rightly be held there.
As for Luo Linhao, since he inherited the original title of the Luo family, and since the title of Marquis Wu’an already had a bestowed residence, which is the current Luo Residence, he didn’t receive a new residence during the recent honors.
Their wedding preparations were in full swing, but Old Master Luo and others couldn’t sit still. They hadn’t split from Old Mu yet, and the wedding would not be held at the Luo family’s ancestral ho, wasn’t this a slap in their face?
Thus, First Madam Luo ca again.
"Is there sothing you need?"
Upon seeing Yang Chuxia again, First Madam Luo felt a bit awkward but still said, "I ca because I wanted to say, the third branch of the family hasn’t split yet, so Linhao’s wedding should be held at the old residence."
First Madam Luo also knew they couldn’t overthrow Luo Linhao and his father now, and they wouldn’t succeed even if they wanted to harm them.
They sent many people to Old Mu and Luo Linhao before, but poisoning didn’t succeed, and neither did assassination. Since they couldn’t get rid of the father and son, they could only find ways to smooth relations with them.
Of course, it was impossible to completely remove all barriers, and both Old Master Luo and his wife knew this. So they would do their best, as long as the relationship between the two branches could be hidden from the whole Capital City, that would be enough. With Luo Linhao and his father’s influence, the first branch could still benefit.
But how could they show the people of Capital City that the relationship between the two branches had improved? This wedding of Linhao was an opportunity.
As long as Linhao held his wedding at the old residence, First Madam Luo would inevitably have to help entertain, and Old Master Luo would have to assist Old Mu in receiving guests. In this way, their first branch would be seen differently in the eyes of the people of Capital City.
In simple terms, the first branch wanted to borrow the influence of the third branch during Linhao’s wedding.
"It’s not for to decide where it’s held," Yang Chuxia said, "I only care about where the bride’s side holds the wedding, as for the groom’s side, that’s their matter. What’s the use of telling ?"
First Madam Luo was montarily speechless, then forced a smile and said, "I heard that this wedding is hosted by you and Commandery Princess Dongyang together, so isn’t it up to you two to decide where the banquet is held? I went to see Dongyang, and she said it’s up to you."
"Xiaxia, although our two families don’t interact much, no matter how you look at it, the Luo Residence is Zi’an’s maternal family. If Linhao’s wedding isn’t held at the Luo family’s ancestral ho, it will inevitably seem improper to the people of Capital City, and if the old residence loses face, won’t you, being related, lose face as well?"
Speaking so submissively to Yang Chuxia, First Madam Luo could hardly maintain her composure.
If it weren’t for the matter involving Linfei in Zhejiang, which Yang Chuxia knew about, she would have already put Yang Chuxia in her place during their last encounter at the palace.
And today, if it weren’t for the Old Master’s instructions before she ca, and the matter involving Linfei, she wouldn’t be speaking in such a soft voice.
Who knew Yang Chuxia wouldn’t give her any face at all, truly having no sense of propriety, showing no respect for her elders.
"How is it up to then?"
Yang Chuxia was sure that Dongyang wouldn’t have said that.
