Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At this moment, the look on Xue Yan’s face as she gazed at Xue Ru was filled with both confusion and annoyance.

“Why? Ha, you’re asking me?”

Upon hearing Xue Yan’s words, Xue Ru let out a burst of laughter, her smile filled with mockery.

“It was I who first took a liking to Jiang Changbai. Why did you refuse to let me marry him?”

“You had your eyes on Changbai?”

Hearing Xue Ru’s words, Xue Yan was taken aback.

However, after a few seconds of reflection, rage filled Xue Yan’s eyes. She looked at Xue Ru coldly and said, “Just because of this, you persist in plotting against the Jiang family?”

“Putting aside the fact that Changbai doesn’t like you, even with your character, our Jiang family wouldn’t accept you.”

“You…”

Seeing the undisguised disdain in Xue Yan’s eyes, Xue Ru’s own eyes blazed with anger.

“Mother, don’t bother with her. Just kill her.”

At this point, Jiang Changbai spoke up.

Having gone to the battlefield at a young age, Jiang Changbai was never known to be merciful. Given the events of today and the animosities from before, his eyes were filled with fury.

As his words trailed off, Jiang Changbai approached Xue Ru, raising his long sword.

But as he was about to strike, Jiang Peihuan intervened.

Seeing it was Jiang Peihuan who stop him, Jiang Changbai’s eyes filled with confusion. “Huan Er?”

Meeting his puzzled look, Jiang Peihuan hurriedly said, “Elder brother, today is your joyful wedding day with Xin Er. Do not spill blood and ruin the occasion.”

Hearing this, Jiang Changbai’s expression became stern.

Yet, he put down his sword.

Jiang Peihuan turned to Ye Xiao and said, “Take her away.”

“Yes.”

Following Jiang Peihuan’s command, Ye Xiao escorted Xue Ru out.

The wedding then continued.

However, Liu Xin did not change her outfit and proceeded to pay respects to heaven and earth alongside Jiang Changbai.

After the wedding concluded, Jiang Peihuan immediately went to Yanlin.

Xiao Nanye followed close behind.

“Why have you both come?”

Fatigue was evident in Xue Yan’s eyes. While Jiang Peihuan was concerned, she still asked, “Mother, how do you plan to deal with Xue Ru?”

“This matter is not for you to worry about. I’ll handle it,” Xue Yan promptly replied.

Wanting to speak up, Jiang Peihuan felt a tug on her sleeve.

Turning around, she saw Xiao Nanye shaking his head at her.

After a moment’s thought, Jiang Peihuan nodded. “Then I’ll leave it to mother.”

“Now that you’re pregnant, you should go back and rest.”

“Yes.”

After bidding Xue Yan farewell, Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye left Yanlin.

The general’s mansion was newly renovated, and the plum garden remained unchanged. On the way to the garden, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t help but turn to the man beside her and ask, “Why did you stop me earlier?”

“At this point, Mother is already in a very difficult position, and she already has her own thoughts in mind. If you keep asking, it will put pressure on her.”

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes revealed a trace of thought.

After a long time, she nodded, “I understand.”

Regarding the matter of Xue Ru, no one in the General’s Mansion mentioned it again, and everyone’s attention was placed on Jiang Changbai and Liu Xin.

The next day, Jiang Peihuan went to the Chrysanthemum Hall early, after all, today was the first day Liu Xin met the elders.

When Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye arrived at the Chrysanthemum Hall, almost all the Jiang family members had arrived, even Jiang Ruyun and Cao Jun were there.

Seeing Jiang Peihuan arrive, everyone greeted her with smiles.

The old madam took her hand directly.

“Old Madam, Eldest Young Master and Miss Liu are here.”

At this moment, the voice of a maid came from outside the door.

Then, everyone looked towards the entrance. Liu Xin and Jiang Changbai walked in together.

Since they were newlyweds, both were dressed festively. Xiao Nanye wore a red robe, and Liu Xin also wore a red dress.

Seeing the two coming together, both the old madam and Xue Yan showed smiles on their faces.

Among them, Liu Xiu was the happiest.

Liu Xin was her niece. In the Jiang family, although everyone was kind, having Liu Xin as a companion always made Liu Xiu feel more comfortable.

“Greetings to Grandmother.”

Amid everyone’s smiles, Liu Xin and Jiang Changbai knelt down to greet Old Madam Jiang.

Seeing them kneel, the old madam quickly said, “Quickly, get up.”

“Yu Zhen, help them up.”

Upon hearing the old madam’s words, Nanny Xu quickly stepped forward to help Liu Xin up.

At this time, the old madam handed Liu Xin a red envelope and a box, “This is a gift from your grandmother, take it.”

Seeing the gifts from the old madam, Liu Xin quickly thanked her, “Thank you, Grandmother.”

After greeting the old madam, Liu Xin then greeted Jiang Hong and Xue Yan.

“Father, please have some tea.”

“Mother, please have some tea.”

Both Jiang Hong and Xue Yan gave generous gifts.

Jiang Yuan and Jiang Ren also gave gifts. After that, it was time for Liu Xin to give her gifts.

Since Jiang Changbai was the eldest in the family, after marrying into the Jiang family, Liu Xin became the eldest sister-in-law.

Seeing Jiang Sijin and Jiang Songbai paying their respects, Liu Xin quickly told them to rise.

After they stood up, Liu Xin took out the prepared gifts.

Liu Xin prepared the Four Treasures of the Study for Jiang Songbai.

For Jiang Sijin, she prepared jewelry and a dagger inlaid with gems.

Seeing the dagger, Jiang Sijin’s eyes were full of smiles, “Thank you, eldest sister-in-law.”

“I’m glad you like it.”

Seeing the smile in Jiang Sijin’s eyes, Liu Xin also smiled.

For Jiang Ruyun, Liu Xin prepared jewelry that was more in line with her temperament.

Seeing the jewelry, Jiang Ruyun sincerely thanked, “Thank you, eldest sister-in-law.”

Finally, it was Jiang Peihuan’s turn.

Liu Xin handed Jiang Peihuan a box and said with a smile, “Sister Jiang, I know you lack nothing, but this peace pendant was personally selected by me, I hope you like it.”

Upon hearing Liu Xin’s words, Jiang Peihuan opened the box.

Inside lay a jade pendant for peace.

Upon a glance, Jiang Peihuan knew it wasn’t ordinary and smiled, “I really like it.”

“Thank you, eldest sister-in-law.”

“Sister Jiang, you can just call me by my name from now on.”

Although Liu Xin was younger than Jiang Peihuan, she was her elder in terms of relationship. So, they decided to call each other by their names..
