Upon hearing this, Aunt Feng hurriedly stepped forward: "What are you doing, child? Just go wherever the young master tells you to go. Why are you fussing over so many things?"

The most urgent thing right now is to get married as soon as possible.

After all, this marriage was not a respectable one. If she hadn't bribed the matchmaker to change the marriage certificate and now it had been officially registered, her daughter would never have been able to marry the Duke's heir.

This is not the time for her to be picky.

Seeing that Aunt Feng had spoken, Su Zhirou, though unwilling, nodded in the end: "Husband, don't be angry, I will listen to you."

Xie Huaiyun did not return her gaze, but instead searched around the gate of the mansion.

Sensing Xie Huaiyun's intention, Marquis Shunyang immediately said, "Quickly send someone to urge her on her arrival. Why hasn't the young lady come yet?"

At that time, the Marquis of Shunyang's face was extremely ugly.

If Su Yingxue doesn't come out, it will embarrass the Duke's mansion.

Although there are rumors that Xie Huaiyun killed his own younger brother in order to marry Su Yingxue, he is now responsible for both branches of the family, so this person is someone he absolutely cannot afford to offend!

Seeing that Su Yingxue was still nowhere to be seen, Su Zhirou's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Father, my sister's behavior is surely an attempt to embarrass my husband. On this joyous occasion, can't we just talk things out?"

She had already sent people to whisper in Su Yingxue's ear a lot, and now Su Yingxue hates Xie Huaiyun to the core.

Normally, he would hate Xie Huaiyun so much that he would want to tear her apart, so how could he possibly give up this opportunity to humiliate Xie Huaiyun now?

"Yes, Miss is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family. How can she be so ill-mannered? Making so many people wait for her is clearly embarrassing for the Duke's family!" Aunt Feng seized the opportunity to chime in.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed repeatedly.

Madam Qian frowned in displeasure: "You're just a concubine; it's already a great favor that you were allowed to come and escort the bride. How dare you slander the eldest young lady?"

Although she didn't have much real power in the household, she still had to protect her daughter.

Now that Su Yingxue is getting married, her mother has to provide a dowry of tens of millions to support her daughter.

How could she stand by and watch others slander her daughter?

"Madam, it's not that I'm making things up about Miss, but she really doesn't know any of the proper etiquette. If this drags on any longer, the auspicious time will have passed."

"Yes, Mother, Aunt is right. It's one thing for my sister to be willful and capricious on ordinary days, but how can she be so unruly on her wedding day?" Su Zhirou said, her face full of arrogance.

If Su Yingxue hadn't come today, she would have gotten the better deal.

Even if she marries into the Duke's mansion in the future, these people will only think she is sensible and will dislike Su Yingxue.

"Yes, how can the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family be so ill-mannered? Wasn't it agreed that she would inherit the lineage of two families? Both elders have agreed, are we going to ask her to do more? What kind of daughter acts like this?"

"You may not know this, but the second young master of the Xie family once saved Miss Su's life. Miss Su was deeply in love with the second young master of the Xie family. Who in the capital doesn't know this? Now that the second young master of the Xie family's body is barely cold, it's likely that she is unwilling to accept this marriage."

"What can be done? Now that Second Young Master Xie is gone, is she supposed to live a life of widowhood for the rest of her life? She has to leave behind a bloodline for Second Young Master, right?"

Seeing Xie Huaiyun's face grow increasingly gloomy, the air seemed to freeze over.

Marquis Shunyang hurriedly said, "Quickly call the young lady out and tell her not to be disrespectful!"

"The young lady has arrived!"

Xia Zhi's cheerful voice rang out, and Su Yingxue appeared in a bright red brocade phoenix robe, inlaid with red beads that shimmered in the sunlight. She wore a phoenix crown and covered her face with a round fan. Although she did not show her face, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

He didn't look unwilling.

When Madam Qian saw Su Yingxue arrive, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Daughter, it's good that you're having a bowel movement. Don't miss the auspicious time, hurry up and get into the bridal sedan chair!"

Having finally witnessed her daughter's wedding, Qian's eyes glistened with tears.

Su Yingxue smiled, her voice tinged with a hint of teasing: "I heard that you and Aunt Feng are hoping I won't show my face? You're making fun of me here."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhirou's face turned pale: "Sister, how could I possibly speak ill of you? I was just worried about you."

"After we both marry into the Duke's mansion, we'll be living together day and night. Besides, we'll be sharing one husband. In the end, you're also my brother's wife in name."

These words carried a sense of pride, suggesting that the speaker was quite pleased with the two individuals' identities.

In the past, she always dominated her in the Marquis's mansion. Now that they are married, she has finally gotten her wish and dominated this wretched woman.

Moreover, she was just a powerless widow who had a grudge against the prince, and the thought of her future seemed ridiculous.

The thought of Su Yingxue kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy when she had nothing left, made Su Zhirou unable to suppress the urge to smile.

Fortunately, the round fan covered half of her face, and also concealed the upturned corners of her lips.

To outsiders, she still appears pitiful.

"Yes, when Miss gets married, she will become Rou'er's sister-in-law. You two sisters can take care of each other." Aunt Feng smiled brightly.

He felt smug thinking about how he could be so powerful in the Marquis's mansion, and how his daughter could outrank that lowly woman's daughter and manage the household affairs in the Duke's mansion.

Su Yingxue smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, the young master originally proposed to me, but the marriage invitation was changed by some people. If I insist on pursuing this matter, I don't know who is the sister-in-law and who is the brother's wife."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhirou's face turned pale instantly, and even Aunt Feng, who was standing next to her, looked unpleasant.

"Sister, you're joking. How could anyone be so bold? You must have been instigated by someone with ulterior motives."

"Yes, Xue'er, there must be some misunderstanding..." Aunt Feng's face was grim.

"Aunt Feng, don't forget your place. I am the eldest young lady. What right do you, a mere concubine, have to address me by my name?" Su Yingxue's tone was cold.

Marquis Shunyang's breathing became heavy. "Xue'er, how dare you speak to your aunt like that?"

"According to the laws of this dynasty, concubines are of low social status and can be bought and sold. Father, are you going to defy the law for the sake of a concubine? In the end, Aunt Feng is just a lowly maid."

Marquis Shunyang's expression darkened, but he ultimately remained silent.

Although Aunt Feng was unwilling, she forced a smile and said, "Miss, I was wrong. I shouldn't have overstepped my bounds."

Su Zhirou stood to the side, her face pale, her fingers holding the fan white.

Su Yingxue ignored them and looked at Xie Huaiyun: "I agree to take on two families, but you have to get pregnant for me first."
