Chapter 751: Chapter 751: Lu Sanzhuâs Trouble-Making and Worrying Chapter 751: Chapter 751: Lu Sanzhuâs Trouble-Making and Worrying The old lady snorted coldly, âThey brought it upon themselves with their extreme actions back then, regrets are useless now. What about afterwards? Did they make a scene?â
âThey wanted to make a scene, but didnât I give the wedding gift for the main houseâs eldest sister-in-law to Lord Xiang? Lord Xiang had his officers deliver it. The Yuan family was detained for a few days. They must have been scared to death of the officers, didnât dare to lift their heads, and just slunk away sheepishly,â Shu Yu replied.
The old lady burst into hearty laughter, âServes them right.â
Shu Yu smiled and found out the aftermath concerning the Yuan family from Madam Liang and Third Lu.
It appeared Yuan Shanchuan returned to the village once, seeking out Village Chief Chen, who truly flew into a rage this time. Whatever he said, at least for now, the Yuan family seemed to have become honest.
Continuing to read the letter, Shu Yu noticed it mentioned Madam Li was indeed coveting the headdress she had given.
Once the feast had ended and all the guests had left, Madam Li silently put away the headdress.
Madam Liang and she were sisters-in-law; even if she was lazy, such a joyful occasion demanded she stay to help.
But she was only pretending to help, actually looking for an opportunity to take some of the banquetâs lavish dishes home. She was sneaking around and, noticing Madam Li doing the same, paid extra attention.
And so she saw Madam Li enter the newlywedsâ room and take the headdress to her own quarters.
Fortunately, besides Madam Liang, Daniu also witnessed Madam Liâs actions.
Daniu immediately followed Madam Li to her room, insisting she return the headdress.
Madam Li was reluctant, claiming the headdress was too valuable and she was keeping it safe for the young couple, lest they carelessly damage it. She also said Zhou Qiaoâs family had several unmarried sisters, and it wouldnât be good if Zhou Qiao divided it as favors when they marry off. Furthermore, she argued that since it was a gift from a daughter of the Lu family, she was the most appropriate person to keep it.
But no matter how much she protested, Daniu wouldnât agree.
In the end, Madam Li became so angered by his insistence that he was selfish, accusing him of not considering his own sisterâs well-being. Such a fine headdress could be used as one or two items in Lanhuaâs dowry, giving her confidence.
Still, Daniu wouldnât relent, and eventually reclaimed the headdress, leaving Madam Li fuming.
But there was nothing she could do. On her sonâs wedding day, it wouldnât do to make a scene, especially with her daughter and son-in-law outside. It wouldnât be good if her eldest daughter got upset, especially since the dowry she had when she married wasnât particularly valuable.
So, she let it go, giving face to Daniu, not holding a grudge.
However, Madam Liang believed that Madam Li surely wouldnât give up on this plan. If she couldnât get the headdress from Daniu, maybe she would coax Zhou Qiao into giving it to her willingly.
Toward the letterâs end, Madam Liang also asked Shu Yu, since she gave such a generous gift for Daniuâs wedding,
what sort of headdress would she provide for Dabaoâs future wedding? Would it be even grander and more expensive?
She even told Shu Yu not to give it to Dabao directly, but to her instead. She wouldnât embezzle it; if Dabaoâs wife turned out to be filial and considerate, she would occasionally reward her with it.
Reading this left Shu Yu speechless as the old lady scolded Madam Liang, âSheâs really got her calculations down pat, doesnât she? Dabao is just a child, and sheâs already planning for his wedding?â
Shu Yu deeply agreed, but Third Lu had also added a similar sentiment.
Shu Yu thought, this couple was trulyâŠaligned in their values. No wonder they got along and lived so happily, though Dabaoâs future wife might have a tough time ahead.
