Chapter 451

Mo Hanyue's makeup was redone by her sisters-in-law, and her red bridal veil was put back on.

At this moment, the little maid was nervous, listening to the increasingly loud drum music, as well as Eighth Young Master's intention to make things difficult for Meng Huaining, which made her both afraid and anxious.

In her perception, apart from Second Sister-in-Law, the literary skills of the other sisters-in-law were quite good. What if Meng Huaining was humiliated?

While she was worrying, Meng Huaining's wedding procession had already arrived at the door.

There were other elder brothers guarding the main entrance, and although they did make things a little difficult, they still let him into the courtyard.

Meng Huaining was escorted to the door. He bowed very courteously, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

According to Old Lady Mo's intention, she did not want to make things difficult for Meng Huaining, but that willful Eighth Son insisted, so she was helpless.

At the same time, the old lady also wanted to see what literary skills this son-in-law from a scholarly family had.

The sisters-in-law were still young after all, and loved liveliness. Seeing that mother-in-law didn't object, they rushed to the door one after another.

Third Sister-in-Law's specialty was couplets, while Fourth Sister-in-Law was more enthusiastic about writing poems. There was also Sixth Sister-in-Law, who also showed her skills.

As a result, these questions that they considered quite advanced were simply unable to stump the eager-to-marry Meng Huaining.

In the end, Mo Chuyi looked at the defeated sisters-in-law resentfully, and unwillingly opened the door.

Meng Huaining rushed in first and saw Old Lady Mo. He solemnly knelt down and knocked his head on the ground.

"Son-in-law pays respect to mother-in-law." After speaking, he knocked his head heavily on the ground three times.

What Old Lady Mo valued most was Meng Huaining’s scholarly family background. Thanks to Eighth Young Master today, she also got to see his literary talent.

At this moment, the more Old Lady Mo looked at her son-in-law, the more she liked him.

The way she addressed him also changed from the original "Master Meng" to "Huaining".

"Huaining, please get up quickly." As she spoke, she stuffed a red envelope into Meng Huaining's hand, as money to mark the change in how she addressed him.

When Mo Family’s Eldest Brother saw that there was no clamor coming from his sister's room, he strode in.

Under his mother's direction, Eldest Brother gently carried Mo Hanyue on his back.

"Hanyue, Eldest Brother will carry you onto the bridal sedan."

Mo Hanyue nodded lightly and lay on her eldest brother's broad back.

Everyone rushed out together, with Mo Qing being pushed in his wheelchair to send them off at the main entrance.

After Mo Hanyue got into the bridal sedan, Meng Huaining knelt down in front of the elderly couple again.

"Father-in-Law, Mother-in-Law, please rest assured that Huaining will definitely take good care of Hanyue for life."

Seeing Mo Hanyue get into the bridal sedan, not only Old Lady Mo, but even Mo Qing in the wheelchair was somewhat tearful.

Old Lady Mo didn’t want their emotional loss of control to affect her daughter’s auspicious wedding hour just because the elderly couple was there. She quickly went up to help Meng Huaining stand up.

"Good child, get up quickly. Hanyue will rely on you from now on." 𝗳re𝗲𝚠e𝐛n𝗼v𝗲l.c𝐨𝐦

Meng Huaining stood up with her help, bowed deeply to the elderly couple again, then turned around to urge the wedding procession to set off.

The guests from Mo Family’s side naturally had to be treated.

The banquet was prepared at noon, and there was still some time before it started.

The big watermelons from Mo Family's fields became the best refreshment to entertain the guests. In addition, there were peanuts, melon seeds, and fruit candy that He Zhiran had purchased from Taobao.com, with the packaging removed and placed on plates.

Apart from the peanuts and melon seeds, poorer people would not bear to eat them on ordinary days, but would not find them to be rare delicacies either.

But those sweet and juicy big watermelons and fruit candies immediately drew praise from everyone.

For many of Mo Family’s guests, big watermelons were nothing special.

Neither Mo Jiuye nor He Zhiran were petty. Selling the ripe watermelons to Tang Mingrui was one thing, they also gave some to acquaintances to let them taste.

However, the number of watermelons given away was still limited after all, and they would run out quickly when divided among the whole family.

Today at Mo Family, there were enough big watermelons for all the guests to have their fill.

As for those crystalline, translucent candy pieces, they were many times sweeter than the maltose candy they usually ate, and there were many different flavors. They simply made the guests sweet to their hearts.

As for the banquet, there was no need to elaborate. Some of the vegetables grown on Mo Family’s land had begun to mature, many of which were varieties that didn’t exist in this era. Naturally, the dishes made from them were extremely delicious.

It was not until the afternoon period of Shen that the banquet ended.

The enthusiastic villagers took the initiative to stay and help Mo Family clean up properly before leaving satisfied.

He Zhiran was kept under tight watch by Old Lady He. Afraid that something might happen to her as she was nearing childbirth, Old Lady He took her back home after the meal.

She had indeed been a little uncomfortable recently, mainly because her belly was too big and she often felt tired.

When she returned home, she was just about to take a nap when she heard Mo Jiuye's voice at the door.

"Xiao Bai, you're back."

Following the voice as it drew near, Mo Jiuye had already brought Xiao Bai into the room.

He Zhiran also sat up.

"Husband, did Xiao Bai bring any letters?"

Mo Jiuye put Xiao Bai on the table.

"Yes, I'll take them off now."

Although He Zhiran was eager to read the letter, she also knew of Xiao Bai’s hardship.

After Mo Jiuye removed the note from its leg, He Zhiran directly sent Xiao Bai into the space, and prepared its favorite food with her thoughts.

When Xiao Bai entered the space, it naturally went to "catch up" with Rice Ball. He Zhiran didn't bother with them, and read Fei Nanyu’s note together with Mo Jiuye.

It was less of a note and more like a letter. Because this time, Fei Nanyu wrote a lot of content and used larger sheets of paper.

The letter said—

Fortunately, Mo Jiuye had sent him the three Gu worms. Otherwise the Gu Master would not have succeeded in detoxifying several important ministers.

It was just that those people had been afflicted by Gu for quite some time, and their bodies were still very weak, but there was no longer any danger to their lives.

In addition, Fei Nanyu also reminded Mo Jiuye to be careful, because he discovered that the Empress’ clan had not been behaving recently.

He had already sent people to secretly keep watch on the Empress. If Xue Prime Minister had not been afflicted by Gu, he would have taken action long ago.

As for what actions, he has not yet discovered any definite leads.

At the same time, Fei Nanyu also urged Mo Jiuye to remember that it was the Empress’ clan who hated Mo Family the most back then. Because of Mo Jiuye’s relationship with Nan Qi, everyone would think that Mo Family belonged to the Prince of Qi’s party.

Although Mo Family had already been exiled to the northwest, as long as Mo Family still had its men, the Empress’ side would not let down their guard.

Just a few days ago, the Empress suddenly adopted a son.

The child was only seven years old now. It was said that Emperor Shunwu had been promiscuous while drunk, and favored a palace maid.

As a result, that palace maid became pregnant and gave birth to a boy.

At that time, afraid that there would be another prince to threaten Nan Heng’s status, the Empress planned to secretly execute the palace maid after discovering she was pregnant.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager discovered it early and stopped her in time.

Empress Dowager stated that if the Empress dared to plot to harm the imperial prince, she would no longer be fit to be Empress.
