Occasionally, if he gets some mother's milk, he's over the moon.

On the contrary, the little girl from the Wen family breastfeeds constantly…

The birthdays of the two children are about twenty days apart, they eat, sleep and play together.

I didn't know, I thought Wenjuan had twins.

Mr. and Mrs. Wen were extremely grateful, and after discussing it, they decided to give the little girl a milk name, Yueyaer, which also meant following the stars...

In the midst of busyness, a hundred days have passed since Star's birth.

May is already early summer.

After tasting the hundred-day wine of stars, the Earl's Mansion in the city is almost built.

The dowry had been paid to the Xing family, and the joyous wedding day was set for the end of the month.

The Li family was celebrating one happy event after another, everyone was busy running around like they were on fire, beaming with joy.

Mrs. Wen's health had finally recovered. Because of her mischievous little daughter, she even got a suite in the backyard of the Li family, so she moved in and could easily take care of the child with Wenjuan together.

The only unfortunate one was Mr. Wen, who kept himself company day after day in his lonely home...

Jiaren is the third-generation grandson of the Li family and the heir apparent to the Earl's Mansion. Therefore, the wedding ceremony must be held in the Earl's Mansion.

The Li family moved to the city a half month in advance.

There are many rooms on both sides, which are quite spacious.

Wenjuan brought stars, and even Wen's wife embraced the crescent moon, they all moved over.

They have been cooped up at home for four or five months, from the month before their delivery to now.

Although I couldn't be of much help this time, it was still a good way to clear my head.

Li Lao San and Zhao Yu Ru also left the academy canteen and returned home early to help with the preparations.

Both inside and outside the mansion should be thoroughly cleaned, supplemented with wooden furnishings, and planted with trees and flowers.

Big and small matters keep everyone running around.

This time, unlike in the past, Li Jia sent a full hundred posts.

Li Zhensheng's longtime friends, literati and gentlemen, as well as merchants, regardless of their status, all sent invitations.

Li Lao Er's reputation grew because he opened a hundred-flower garden and single-handedly saved hundreds of people at the relief agency.

Over the past few years, he has also made acquaintances with many high-ranking officials and nobles, who have also sent him invitations.

Li Laosan also invited Luo An some acquaintances.

It was Li Lao Si and the Marquis who set out in April, so this time they couldn't participate in the big happy event at home.

Jiarren was a student at Lu'an Academy. The hundreds of books the academy had now were still thanks to Li family's help.

Therefore, several deans and professors from the academy, including Mr. Tang who usually dislikes socializing events, will also come to celebrate the wedding with us.

Mr. Wen, this house's master, is determined for Jiaren to inherit the Xinxue school.

So, he personally went to invite a few of Cui University Scholar's closest friends from back then.

To know that a close friend from the same era as Cui University Scholar, now respected elder gentlemen...

This time, the Li family's high-profile actions quickly attracted the attention of the entire new city.

Especially the women in the inner house, regretted almost pinched off their nails.

This piece of fat, the Li family's assets, is coveted by everyone, but no one is in a hurry to make a move.

To everyone's surprise, he was suddenly snatched away by a fox spirit! No one could accept this!

Thus, rumors spread throughout the city in just a few days.

What kind of woman from the Shi family borrows the power of the Jia family to frequent the Li family, seducing the eldest grandson of the Li family...

What kind of girl from the Xing family is she, clearly not innocent, with a hidden pregnancy to force Li's family to marry her...

In short, there's nothing that hasn't been said!

Although the Xing family wasn't wealthy, they were a family of scholars with a strong moral character.

Mrs. Xing was not in good health, so Xing Wan'er took charge of the family affairs, managing everything efficiently and smoothly. She handled interpersonal relationships flawlessly and had a reputation for being intelligent and reliable.

Xing Wan'er is certainly worthy of being Li family's eldest grandson's wife, and she would also be a good choice for the future mistress of the household.

It's a common saying that those who can't get grapes say they are sour.

Of course, the Xing family soon learned of these idle rumors. Xing Wan'er was so angry that her eyes were red with tears.

Lord Xing smashed the teacup, and Xing Ning was about to rush out to fight.

But Mrs. Xing remained unusually calm, stopping her husband and son. Then she pulled her daughter aside to have a private conversation.

"Wan'er, don't get angry because of the rumors outside.

"Initially, your mother hesitated to arrange this marriage with the Li family so quickly, fearing she might have made a mistake and jeopardized your future happiness."

"But now that everyone says you're not good, it just proves that the Li family is a good place to belong. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't be jealous of you and slander you."

Wan'er nodded, wiped her tears, took a deep breath, and said as calmly as she could: "Mother, I understand."

"I won't let outside rumors ruin my relationship with my brother, and I won't have a falling out with him."

"Silly girl, feelings are the least important." Madam Xing sighed, hugging her daughter and sharing her insights on marriage over the years.

"You are still young, and you have many expectations about marriage and your future husband. You always believe that a couple should be in love before getting married. "

"Actually, Mother wants to tell you, if you want a peaceful life in the future, and for your marriage to last longer, the most important thing is that both families are well-matched and have mutual benefits. "

For example, our family and the Li family are related by marriage. We want the Li family to follow the rule of not taking concubines, we want their influence to be at its peak, and we want them to have many brothers so that they can take care of Brother Ning in the future.

"And Li Jia's intentions are for your father to pave the way for Jia Ren's political career. She wants our family to be simple, and she wants you to be kind, intelligent, and skilled at managing a household. After marriage, you can help Jia Ren quickly establish the Earl's Mansion."

This way, both families are hoping that you two will get married so that it won't become an obstacle between you.

After you get married, take your time to get to know each other, and your relationship will only grow stronger. There's no need to worry about that.

But you must remember, Jia Ren is a very responsible person. If you want a good life with Mei, you should never argue with the Li family!

"Or, don't force him to choose. Choose one between you and your family, because he will definitely choose family!"

Waner bit her lip, looking at her mother's serious expression, unwilling to respond.

After all, there isn't any woman who wouldn't want to be the only one and the favorite in her husband's heart.

Mrs. Xing patted her daughter's back, her voice softer.

Men are like donkeys. You need to stroke them in the direction they want, follow their heart's desire, only then will they be happy and grateful for your concession, and thus treat you better.

After you come in, be filial to Jia Ren. Then, you'll become even more filial. Jia Ren loves his younger sister, so you should love her too.

"Your days will only get better, and Jiaren will like you more and more!"

Xíng Wǎn'ér still wanted to say something, but seeing the tiredness between her mother’s brows, she quickly changed her mind.

"Mother, please rest assured, I will definitely listen to you. In the future, I will be filial to the elderly, take care of my younger siblings, and fulfill my duties as a wife."

"That's right, the Li family are honest people. As long as you do these things, even if Jiaren becomes a marquis or prime minister in the future, if he ever turns his heart, the Li family will not allow him to wrong you."

Mrs. Xing smiled bitterly and continued, "Mother just doesn't understand these things. Back then, she thought that being in love with your father would overcome everything.

So, I endured your grandparents' disapproval and married into the family.

"For the first half of my life, I was practically swimming in hardship. Your father was caught in the middle, torn and helpless. He hurt me and bore the name of an unfilial son. "

"It was when Sheng Ning was born that things went wrong, she suffered complications and fell ill. It was also because of your grandmother... Nevermind, it's all in the past."

"Now that your grandparents are gone and your mother doesn't bring it up anymore, but she doesn't want you to follow in her footsteps. "

"Therefore, cherish this home of the Li family, and it won't be in vain that your mother fought hard to secure this marriage for you."ed her up and gave her a big hug and kiss. Then he shouted at his younger brothers, “Stop making noise, or you'll trip Grandma.”The little boys scattered and then came back to jostle the younger siste...
