After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 510 Mo Chunxiang is back
Shen Yuezhang quickly wiped away Xu's tears, her face full of worry, "Aunt, what's wrong? Why are you crying so sadly?"

“You’re such a beautiful young lady, married far away to the capital. You don’t have any family to support you. What will you do if your husband’s family bullies you there? Why don’t your parents think more about you?” Xu cried as she gripped Shen Yuezhang’s shoulders tightly.

It's as if this will keep people here.

Shen Yuezhang finally understood why Xu was crying, and his expression was indescribable. "Aunt, this marriage is my own choice. It has nothing to do with my parents. The other party is someone I know well. I won't be bullied."

Wealthy families value their reputation, and the higher the social standing, the more they cherish their image. Without a conflict of interest, no one will deliberately cause trouble.

Princess Huai'an only had one son, and it was the princess who took the initiative to propose marriage, so there was no reason for her to bully her.

Xu wiped away her tears and choked out, "Didn't your mother say that you can't afford to offend them?"

Shen Yuezhang nodded, "That's true, but I do know a bit about it, otherwise my parents wouldn't have agreed."

Only then did Xu and the others realize that they had made a huge blunder.

The elders were so ashamed they wanted to disappear into the ground.

Shen Ying chuckled awkwardly, "If that's the case, we're relieved! We'll come back to congratulate you after Yue Zhang's marriage is completely settled. We'll be going now."

A group of people arrive quickly and leave just as quickly.

That pose was truly hilarious.

Shen Yuezhang looked at Su Tai, "Mother, Auntie was worried about me, not because of you."

"I know!" Su Tai waved her hand wearily. "The official matchmaker will come again in three days. Once the horoscopes are matched, it will be time for betrothal. At that time, you will no longer be able to go out freely. Mother originally planned to prepare materials for your wedding dress, but now these things will probably have to be done according to the Princess's requirements. We can't make the decision!"

Shen Yuezhang nodded obediently and smiled mischievously, "Mother, this is actually good. You know how good I am at needlework, shh!"

Su Tai chuckled and shook her head, and the two of them tacitly fell silent.

Two days later.

Su Chunlin and Han Shi brought their whole family to Shenjiazhuang.

The whole family had just entered the door when they grabbed Su Tai and started asking her all sorts of questions.

Especially Han, who wanted to find out everything about the man's ancestors, even eighteen generations back. "On the second day of the Lunar New Year, you and your husband took Yuezhang back home. You told me there was no rush, but then you sent someone over to say the child was getting engaged. You're playing me for a fool! If you don't explain the situation clearly this time, I'll never forgive you!"

Su Tai knew this would happen, and had made thorough preparations beforehand. She calmly helped Han Shi sit down.

"Mother, this is a long story! We never expected that the distinguished guest who came to our house during the Spring Festival would take a liking to Yuezhang. His background is extraordinary. I dare not make a fuss about it before the marriage is settled. Please don't make things difficult for me, Mother!"

Her words only fueled the curiosity of Han and Su Chunlin.

Su Chunlin stroked his chin thoughtfully, "The highest-ranking official in Lizhou is the prefect. Could it be that the prefect's family has taken a liking to Yue Zhang?"

Su Tai neither confirmed nor denied it. "Father, don't try to trick me! Everything will be clear when the matchmaker comes tomorrow. I won't say anything more." Madam Han rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. "You think you're so capable! Fine, don't tell me then! I don't even want to ask! You better guarantee you've found a reliable family for my granddaughter. If it's as unreliable as the one your father found, I'll never forgive you!"

Su Chunlin stared in astonishment, "Why are you dragging me into this all of a sudden? Besides, when have I ever been out of touch with reality?"

"You still dare to talk! Wasn't that Xiong Kai unreliable enough? What a scoundrel! It's only because he got what he deserved and died that I'll hold a grudge against you for the rest of my life!" Han Shi became more and more angry as she spoke.

Mentioning Xiong Kai, Su Tai's expression turned somewhat pale. "Mother, that's all ancient history. Why are you bringing it up? Besides, that man is practically dead, and his wife has disappeared without a trace. Nowadays, Cong Rong and Xiong Feng have a pretty good relationship. I don't want to bring up the past anymore."

If Han hadn't mentioned it, Su Tai would have almost forgotten those old stories. Some people say that if you don't care, they really will gradually be erased from your memory.

Han was exasperated. "If you ask me, bad bamboo can't produce good shoots. The child is young and doesn't understand. You didn't even tell Congrong to keep an eye on Xiong Feng. You just let them interact like this. What if Xiong Feng finds out about the grudges between you adults and retaliates against Congrong?"

Su Tai had another headache. "Mother! Stop trying to guess people's intentions. Cong Rong and Xiong Feng have known each other for a long time. Back when Cong Rong almost got into trouble in the capital, Xiong Feng helped her a lot."

Besides, his godfather is watching. He has such a sharp eye; he can naturally tell what kind of person Xiong Feng is. His godfather said he's fine, so don't overthink it and make things awkward for the kids.”

Su Chunlin nodded in agreement, "Although I'm also angry with Xiong Kai, one thing is one thing. Our family doesn't believe in the idea of ​​children paying for their father's debts. I know Liu Laosan well. If he says someone has a problem, that person is probably right. If he says no problem, he's probably right nine times out of ten."

Back when the four of them got into trouble together, Liu Laosan only talked to him when discussing repaying their debt of gratitude, and didn't say much to Mo Laotian and Xiong Kai's father.

He didn't understand it then, but now he's come to realize it.

Seeing that the father and daughter were of one mind, Han was speechless. She glared at them and said coldly, "Let me tell you, Xiong Feng's mother has gone back to Ximen Village and is living in that dilapidated house of the Xiong family. Who knows if she will cause any more trouble!"

Su Tai and the others were all shocked and looked at Madam Han. "Mother, who told you this?"

Su Chunlin was also completely bewildered. "Didn't you say you escaped long ago? Why are you coming back? Do you think Xiong Kai's relatives will agree to this?"

Madam Han shook her head. "Everyone has a family of their own! My sister-in-law mentioned it when she came to visit relatives a couple of days ago. I was busy at the time and didn't take it to heart. If you hadn't kept talking about the Xiong family, I would have forgotten about it!"

Su Ming retorted fearlessly, "Mother, it was clearly you who brought up the Xiong family first."

"You still dare to talk back!" Madam Han raised her hand, as if to strike him.

Su Ming immediately covered his head and admitted his mistake.

After laughing and joking for a while, Su Tai thought of Shen Xi and couldn't help but worry. She secretly whispered to Yu Mei, "Please invite Shen Dalang, Granny Zhang and Shen Xi to our house later. I have something to say to them."

After arranging things, he had the servants take the Su family to the ancestral home to settle their belongings.

At this moment, Yu Mei also brought Shen Dalang's family over.

Life has gotten better in recent years, and Shen Dalang's clothes and appearance have become more refined. He is no longer the slovenly, crippled bachelor he once was; if anything, he should be described as a refined cripple.

Because Su Tai was a woman, after Shen the Cripple entered and bowed, he sat to the side without saying a word, while Granny Zhang and Shen Xi spoke to Su Tai.

He secretly wondered why Su Tai had called him over.
