Do You Know?: Rule the World.

Chapter 68 Aunt Kang is here too
After three days of sweet love, today is the day when Hualan returns home.

Hualan sat in front of the bronze mirror, with Cai Zan doing her makeup, and the shyness of a girl gradually faded from her eyebrows.

There is an indescribable charm at this moment.

All in all, very smooth.

"Madam, everything is ready for the master, it's time to set off." Mother Wei came in and urged.

Zhao Han had already prepared a generous return gift yesterday, including silks and satins, gold, silver, and jade ornaments, and the finest four treasures of the study...

Hualan responded softly and adjusted her collar in the mirror.

Soon, he and Zhao Han got on the carriage heading to Sheng Mansion.

Today, Hualan was wearing a long warm orange brocade dress with a peony pattern embroidered with gold thread on the hem. Her hair was tied up high, adorned with a few inconspicuous but particularly valuable hairpins, showing the decency and solemnity of the bride.

The two younger generations, Changbai and Changfeng, personally greeted Zhao Han and Hua Lan outside the door.

After the carriage stopped, Hua Lan, with the help of Zhao Han, bent down and got out of the carriage and landed steadily.

Yu Guangzhong happened to catch a glimpse of the Kang family's carriage. Hualan's smile faded a little and she muttered softly, "Why is Aunt Kang here today?"

"Ever since we came to the capital, Aunt Kang has come over countless times. Even if we are close, there's no need to visit so frequently."

How could Hua Lan, who was so clever, not see Wang Ruoyu's true face?

Every time he visited me, he had a friendly smile on his face, but there was calculation in his eyes.

In the past, every New Year's Day, when the family met, she would always stir up trouble in front of Wang Ruofu.

But her mother believed her sister's words without a doubt, and quarreled with her father when she came back. They always ended up in a bad mood, and Lin Qinshuang benefited from it.

Zhao Han squeezed her hand and said softly, "It's okay, I guess it's just a little bit of a profit."

"Extorting money? If my aunt heard this, I'm afraid she would be furious."

Hua Lan smiled brightly, like a blooming autumn chrysanthemum.

In the main hall, Wang Ruofu couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat when she saw Hualan, and she almost cried out loud while hugging her.

"A daughter pays her respects to her mother." Hua Lan bowed politely, tears glistening in her eyes.

The mother and daughter sympathized with each other for a while.

Wang Ruofu then restrained her expression and looked at Zhao Han with loving eyes, her voice still choked with sobs.

"Sir, did my Huaer cause you any trouble?"

Zhao Han smiled gently and said, "Hua'er is gentle and virtuous. It is a great honor for me to have such a good wife."

"That's good, that's good. Hua'er is a child..." Wang Ruofu wanted to say a few polite words as usual and point out some harmless little faults of Hua Lan to show her humility.

But my brain was about to crash, and I couldn't find anything wrong with Hualan when she was at home.

So, she laughed dryly twice and said, "If there is anything she is not considerate of, I hope you will forgive her."

He looked at Hualan tenderly and said softly, "Mother-in-law, you are wrong. It is me who is careless. If I have not taken good care of you, I hope you can give me some pointers."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ruofu immediately smiled with relief and then introduced this aunt from the Kang family to Zhao Han.

After going through the formalities according to the etiquette, Aunt Kang straightened her clothes, put on a fake smile, and said, "Sir, your son-in-law is in the favor of the officials in the court. When you are successful in the future, don't forget to support your wife's family."

Aunt Kang turned her head and glanced at Wang Ruofu. "After all... my sister married her eldest daughter to your Zhao family."

These words were ostensibly spoken for the sake of the Sheng family's future, and to suggest a new son-in-law for Wang Ruofu.

In fact, every word is full of thorns, which invisibly instigates the relationship between Zhao Han, the Sheng family and Hua Lan.

Hua Lan heard this and was anxious. Just as she was about to speak, Zhao Han said, "Aunt Kang is joking. Your father-in-law has a good reputation in the court, and Changbai is also diligent in his studies. He has the demeanor of Grand Tutor Wang and will surely achieve great things in the future." "Why should the Sheng family rely on the power of others? Moreover, a subject should be loyal to the emperor. This is the true way to bring glory to the family."

These words were so powerful that the smile on Aunt Kang's face froze.

Hua Lan agreed with a blazing gaze, "Master, you are absolutely right, mother, what do you think?"

Wang Ruofu glanced at Hualan, then looked at her sister's dark face.

I could only nod repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that makes sense, uncle."

Afterwards, Zhao Han and Hua Lan went to Shou'an Hall to pay their respects to the old lady.

The three girls were all chatting and having fun here. Molan was the first to bow and said in a clear voice, "Greetings, brother-in-law."

Rulan followed suit and saluted, her eyes rolling around on Zhao Han.

Minglan was wearing a light green skirt and stood quietly on the side, looking particularly dignified when she saluted.

Hualan snuggled up to the old lady affectionately and talked to her for a long time. Then Sheng Hong sent someone to invite them to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

Today, Hualan will enter the ancestral hall as a married woman to ask the ancestors to bless her new family.

At the same time, Zhao Han will also pay homage to the ancestors of the Sheng family as a new son-in-law.

By the time all the formalities were completed, it was almost noon, and the Sheng family had separate seats for men and women.

After lunch, Zhao Han, Changbai and others gathered together to discuss poetry and important news in the court.

Hua Lan was naturally pulled back to Wei Rui Xuan by Wang Ruofu. After all, when it got dark, Hua Lan would start her return journey.

I don’t know when I will come back next time.

If a newly married girl goes back to her parents' home every few days, it will definitely cause gossip if the news gets out.

Either they are accused of not knowing the rules, or they are suspected of marital discord.

"Hua'er, why do you look thinner than when you were at home?"

Wang Ruofu looked at Hualan carefully from head to toe, afraid of revealing even an inch of her body.

Cui Chan pursed her lips and smiled, "Madam, my son-in-law doesn't even have a maid in his room. He and the girl are newly married, so it's inevitable that there will be some troubles..."

"what?!"

"Not even a concubine?!" Wang Ruofu exclaimed, looking at Hualan in disbelief.

Most young men from wealthy families already have maids before they get married, and some even have their family elders start arranging them when they are fourteen or fifteen years old.

Of course, apart from Qi Heng who was restrained by Princess Pingning, there were no maids in his backyard.

There wasn't even a maid with a slightly outstanding appearance, for fear that Qi Heng would be seduced by a maid and his studies would be delayed.

"My son, I think Caizan is an honest girl. Use her when you need her. Don't tire yourself out." Wang Ruofu instructed in a deep voice.

Hua Lan frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother, Cai Zan is honest, but I feel that with her appearance, I'm afraid she won't be pleasing to the master."

"This..." Wang Ruofu turned her head to look at her external brain - Mother Liu.

Madam Liu pondered for a moment and then said, "Madam, don't be too anxious to feel sorry for the girl. It's only been a few days since we got married, so it's inevitable that there will be some heated arguments."

"After some time, when the young lady is pregnant, it won't be too late to look for a concubine."

Wang Ruofu nodded vigorously upon hearing this, "Yes, yes, the most important thing is to have a child first."

Hua Lan looked up at the two of them, weighed the pros and cons silently in her mind, and finally nodded in agreement.
