The cousin is beautiful but ruthless.

Chapter 143 Zhang Luo’s marriage

The wedding banquet between the Hou family and the Qi family is this month; time flies so fast.

"go."

For some reason, Li Huaijiang also wanted to go this time, so Shen Hanyu naturally wanted to go and see as well.

And then there's Lin Qiufeng. Jin Chui has checked several people with that name, but none of them match up with the information in Lizhou or Suzhou. Perhaps there are others that Jin Chui hasn't found yet.

Finding Lin Qiufeng might provide a breakthrough in Shen Yanzhi's case.

Shen Hanyu didn't mention Lin Qiufeng's matter to Li Huaijiang because she wanted to investigate it herself. However, given the current situation, she felt it was necessary to use the manpower from Li Huaijiang's side.

Qi Jiaying was waiting to be married at home. Looking at the wedding dress that had already been sewn, a hint of joy appeared in her eyes.

"Young lady, try this golden crown on. If there's anything wrong with it, we can fix it."

As Lingxing spoke, she put the golden crown on Qi Jiaying's head.

"I feel it would look better with a few more pearls."

Qi Jiaying smiled and said no need.

"This is already gorgeous enough, so let's leave it at that."

Lingxing put down the golden crown. "Miss, Young Master Liang is a good person, but the others in the Marquis's mansion are another story. I'm a little worried."

Lingxing had heard about what was happening in the Marquis's mansion. Qi Jiaying would not only be living with Liang Siyu after marrying into the mansion, but she would also have to face everyone in the mansion.

“I know you’re worried about me, but I think I can handle it. Besides, for me, Young Master Liang is already a rare find.”

Liang Siyu's character is evident to all, and she is not someone whose thoughts are easily swayed by others, which is why Qi Jiaying felt comfortable marrying her.

That's what she said, but Lingxing still couldn't help but sigh.

"If we had known that would happen, we would have sent the girl to the girls' school instead. There would have been no need to rush into an engagement. The young lady from the Marquis's mansion got engaged after she went to the girls' school."

Speaking of Shen Hanyu, Qi Jiaying had some impression of her and knew that Shen Hanyu had now moved out of the Marquis's mansion.

Shen Hanyu's reputation is now similar to Pei Du's; both are labeled as unorthodox and heretical.

However, Qi Jiaying was quite envious of her. Shen Hanyu always did whatever she wanted, just like when she chose to save her.

"Since Miss Shen's wedding date is not yet set, she naturally has time to participate in the imperial examinations at the girls' school. At that time, my family was in a hurry to arrange a marriage with the Marquis's family, and we never thought that the girls' school would be established."

There were definitely regrets. Her parents advised her that since her sisters had already gone to girls' school, she only needed to wait to get married, and she did just that.

Lingxing felt sorry for Qi Jiaying, but Qi Jiaying had already let it go.

"Alright, at least it's not so bad as to be unacceptable. For me, as long as Young Master Liang is a good person, that's enough. He's an upright person, and he'll have a noble family in the future. He can even get promoted. Then my life will be better."

Lingxing nodded and helped Qi Jiaying with her clothes.

Before the wedding, the two parties were not allowed to meet. Qi Jiaying stayed at the Qi residence, and Liang Siyu also had time to rest during this period and prepare everything at home.

The old lady eventually resolved Liang Ruoyan's matter, and Li Jun did not pursue the matter further.

Xu Ying smiled, for Liang Siyu's happy occasion.

"Have all the people invited to this celebration been verified?"

The old lady held the list, her eyes constantly darting around on it.

Xu Ying nodded.

"Yu'er took it upon herself to invite Hanyu, and Hanyu replied that she would come. In addition, Princess Yongning, Princess Huaijiang, and the Third Prince will also be coming this time. It is still unclear about the Crown Prince."

The old lady paused slightly as she held the list.

Whether Shen Hanyu comes or not doesn't matter, as long as she's under her watchful eye anyway.

"Yu'er's sudden invitation to her, could it be that she hasn't given up on him yet?"

Xu Ying paused, realizing that she had also had her doubts.

The old lady waved her hand: "Keep an eye on them and don't let them meet alone."

"I see."

Xu Ying would do it even without the old lady reminding her.

So much time has passed since that incident, and Liang Siyu has said she has no such intention, so nothing should happen.

"We must reserve a place for His Highness the Crown Prince, and also for the Crown Princess." The old lady handed the list to Xu Ying. "You can handle the rest; I won't interfere."

If it weren't for the fact that this was the wedding banquet of the eldest grandson, who was also the grandson the old lady favored the most, she wouldn't have asked a single question.

Xu Ying left with the list. If Shen Hanyu were to arrange the seating, she would have to sit at the very end.

Soon the wedding day arrived, and Shen Hanyu brought Miaocui and Jinchui to the Marquis's residence.

Upon returning, the first person I saw was Liang Fangrong.

Liang Fangrong had been waiting for Shen Hanyu here. Shen Hanyu met her gaze, nodded slightly, and then went inside with the others.

Once inside, I saw Yu Qi. If Yu Qi is here, then Li Huaijiang must be arriving soon.

"Where is His Highness?" Shen Hanyu asked, wanting to discuss Lin Qiufeng's matter.

Yu Qi whispered, "His Highness is talking to several other people and will probably be here in a while."

Shen Hanyu stroked her chin, wondering if Li Jing would come today. Li Jing was currently wary of Li Huaijiang, so he might actually come.

"Please pass on a message for me."

Shen Hanyu didn't want to run into Li Jing, so she told Yu Qi.

After hearing this, Yu Qi promised that he would tell Li Huaijiang later.

"Miss, please come this way."

A maid from the Marquis's residence came to lead the way for Shen Hanyu, but Shen Hanyu was not so bad as to forget the way to the Marquis's residence, so she refused the maid's offer.

"No need. I haven't taken my seat yet. You all go about your business. I'll just take a walk."

The maid looked troubled. She had been ordered to follow Shen Hanyu and prevent Shen Hanyu from contacting Liang Siyu. Now that Shen Hanyu was about to send her away, her mission was in jeopardy.

Shen Hanyu noticed that the maid was acting strangely, but she didn't press her for details. She simply told her to go and do her work elsewhere and not to follow her.

As she walked inside, Shen Hanyu suddenly remembered that Liang Siyu had sent her the invitation. Xu Ying might even suspect that she had some connection with Liang Siyu, which was why she had someone keep an eye on her.

No wonder that little maid had that expression just now.

They've misunderstood.

Just as he was pondering this, he heard an announcement from outside: "His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! His Highness the Crown Princess has arrived!"

Shen Hanyu stood at the back of the crowd and saw Li Jing and Zhao Yu appear at the door.

Li Jing held Zhao Yu's hand and said, "You stay here, I'm going to see my elder sister and the others."

Zhao Yu nodded. As soon as she arrived, the people of the Marquis's residence naturally dared not neglect her. Xu Ying personally came out to greet her and led Zhao Yu inside.

Li Jing then found Li Huaijiang, who was standing with Princess Yongning and Li Jun at that moment.

Why doesn't Third Brother go find Miss Liang?

Upon hearing Li Jing's question, Li Jun smiled shyly.

"There's a big celebration in their household today, and I imagine she has things to do, so I won't bother her for now."

Li Jing patted his shoulder, his gaze falling on Li Huaijiang.

"Huai Jiang looks much better than before."

Li Huai and Jiang Yingying smiled and said, "That's all thanks to the physician my brother provided."
