Chapter 164 Good Fortune
When Wei Changying had just got married, she had learned that Shen Canghui's wedding date was two months later than hers. It was only half a month away now but they were just starting to ask people from the Grand Preceptor's mansion over to help out. Wei Changying thought about how complicated her own wedding had been, and inevitably worried about whether there was enough time for them.
When she returned to the Jintong Courtyard, she asked Mrs. Huang about it. Mrs. Huang smiled and said, "Young madam, you knew that the fourth young master's wedding date would be two months later than yours. After all, he and the young master are cousins, and the fourth young master was raised by our Madam as if he were her own flesh and blood. I think that when the people from the Grand Preceptor's mansion were busy preparing for the young master's wedding, they must have been doing the same thing for the fourth young master's. A month and a half ago, you were married into the Shen Fami

This day, only Mrs. Liu was with her, so Wei Changying asked Mrs. Liu about Shen Lianmei. Mrs. Liu said in a low voice, "You didn't know. The third sister's mother passed away last year."Shen Lianmei was in mourning.

When the two arrived in the rear backyard of Count Xiangning's mansion, Madam Su had come back from the front courtyard and was checking the list and talking to Mrs. Liu. Yet, she was not surprised to see Shen Cangfeng and said, "Canghui has just come back. Chief Gu is indeed well-intentioned."Shen Cangfeng smiled and said, "It's good for both sides. Aren't there more people Mother can command now?"Madam Su laughed and taunted, "You are just taking the task of greeting the guests. In this kind thing, you are not competent than a capable manager.""After all, I can share Mother's cares and burdens." Shen Cangfeng joked with his mother, "Besides, I can help to massage Mother’s back and legs.""Just go away!" Madam Su tried to drive him out. "I was just about to write the list. After you come over and massage, I write it crooked." She then slighted over him, "Go to the front courtyard and ask the manager over there if she needs any
The Crowned Lady Chapter 167 Got Blamed
The new sister-in-law was so arrogant that after Shen Canghui led the people back to the Count Xiangning mansion, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu had to tell Madam Su about their grievances. But they didn’t directly say that Pei Meiniang was not good. Mrs. Liu said, “It’s my fault. I'm not thoughtful enough. I believe that teasing the bride and the bridegroom in the bridal chamber is the tradition; otherwise, the wedding is not happy and lively enough. But I didn’t expect the fourth sister-in-law was too tired after the day's business. Although the fourth sister-in-law didn't blame me, I should ask for your forgiveness because of my inconsideration.”Mrs. Duanmu, who was irritated by Pei Meiniang, held a handkerchief with a look of concern and said, "First sister-in-law is right, and this fourth sister-in-law has reminded me that since the second aunt passed away early, the fourth sister-in-law will be in charge when she marries. However, the fourth sister-in-law is so weak th
The Crowned Lady Chapter 168 Mother and Son
Shen Cangfeng returned to Jintong Courtyard earlier than Wei Changying. After changing red summer clothes which were not new, he leaned on the soft bed beside the window to read a poetry book written by an ancient poet. As the door creaked open, he beamed, “Welcome back home.”Wei Changying, in the blue, replied to him. Shen Cangfeng noticed that she was unhappy, so he asked in astonishment, “What has happened to you? Why are you so gloomy?”In the past two weeks, Wei Changying and her sisters-in-law were busy with the marriage of their cousin. However, his wife was so ungrateful that sisters-in-law were anxious to revenge her. Finally, they were scolded by their mother-in-law. As Wei Changying came to the Shen Family, she lived a peaceful life. However, now she was criticized by her mother-in-law for the first time. Moreover, her words were severe, so Wei Changying was upset. On her way to her room, she retorted Mrs. Huang, but she still felt annoyed. Afte
The Crowned Lady Chapter 169 The Remorseful Madam Su
Granny Tao was called in by Shen Cangfeng. Madam Su was still so angry that she roughly retold the story and she repeatedly scolded the unfilial son—If it was before last time when she had been reprimanded, Granny Tao might have taken advantage of the situation to help Mrs. Liu. However, since last time, Granny Tao had always remembered to clarify her position to Madam Su again—Granny Tao was not stupid. Her high status in the Shen Family was attributed to Madam Su. Mrs. Liu treated Granny Tao well on account that the latter was Madam Su's confidant and she had accompanied Madam Su since they entered the Shen Family.Therefore, although Granny Tao had a good impression of Mrs. Liu, she would say no if her position in the mind of Madam Su was about to be shaken. After listening to Madam Su’s words, Granny Tao felt that it was time to show her fairness, so she persuaded Madam Su, “Why should you be angry, Madam? In my eyes, third young madam might have said something in f
The Crowned Lady Chapter 170 Spring Grass Lake
Out of the east gate, they went along the highway all the way. A few miles later, they passed a fork road which was slanted to the south. Although they had left the highway, this path was also neatly repaired because there were many tourists who were going to Spring Grass Lake, and many among them were high officials and noble lords.The roadside was planted with mulberries and elms. Signs of pruning were seen between the branches.It was midsummer at this time and the green shade was everywhere. Looking out through a corner of the carriage curtain, they could see that it was green all around, either dark green or light green. Sometimes the sound of orioles came from the top of the head, and there were also grunts like turtledoves under the tree, giving a sense of tranquility.Wei Changying looked out curiously, then she turned to her husband and said, "This road is quiet.""At present, only those who go to see the lotus flowers wi
The Crowned Lady Chapter 171 Throwing a Lotus Seedpod Across the Water While Smiling
Shen Cangfeng and Wei Changying did not know what Cao Yingmei thought. Although they had not yet reached reedy Tingzhou and had not attained their trip's goal of seeing lotus flowers, they felt incredibly relaxed when they felt the boat ride the waves and the lake breeze blowing in their faces.The two of them finished a pot of agarwood drink, as the boat finally approached the first stand of reeds. The green reeds waved in the lake breeze, from which came the sound of water birds cooing, occasionally some flew in or out. Wei Changying thought they were egrets. They were very brave and not afraid of people. Even when the boats passing by, they were still focused on their fishing, not hiding away.Wei Changying suddenly saw a water snake swimming swiftly across the water, rippling the surface of the lake. A brave egret also saw it, streaking towards it just above the water, moving very fast to take the water snake that couldn't dodge away, and then flew away

He patted his wife's hand to comfort her, shook his head to the lotus-picking girl, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I have already been married. You can take back your lotus seedpod." He then took the seedpod from Wei Changying's hand and threw it back to the basin.The girl wasn't angry when Shen Cangfeng threw the seedpod back into her basin. She smiled as she said, "I can see how much you love your wife, and I dare not think of seducing you since your wife's appearance is drop-dead gorgeous, but I'm just an ordinary girl. However, you intended to pick this seedpod for your wife, but I picked it before you. If you are not happy about this, why not just take your seedpod back?"She then said mischievously, "I have almost picked all the seedpods near here. If you want to eat lotus seedpod, this one's the last one. Or else, you'll have to go to the Fur
