Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 534 - 204 Ma Yue Gets Married (Part 2)

On the day of the wedding, Yueyao did not go out to watch the ceremony.

Yueyao did not go out, but that did not mean she was unaware of what happened on the wedding day. Xi Juan had gone to watch, and described the events so vividly it was as if Yueyao had seen everything herself.

Xi Juan spoke with relish, "Miss is not aware, but Miss Linlin somehow offended Young Lady Zhuang. Even though Young Lady Zhuang didn’t take it to heart, all the madams present saw it clearly." Xi Juan referred to Young Lady Zhuang as Madam Hong, Zhuang Changhe’s newlywed wife.

Xi Yu asked, "Why would Miss Linlin bump into Young Lady Zhuang? What happened?" The two are not on the same level, so how could there be a conflict?

Xi Juan pursed her lips, "Who knows?" She didn’t know the specifics either; she wasn’t in the banquet hall at the time and had just heard this piece of gossip.

Xiang Wei sneered, "No matter the reason, this Miss Linlin is brainless." Ma Linlin was at the time when she should be choosing a fiancé. Making such a blunder during the feast would definitely tarnish her reputation, making it difficult for her to pick a desirable husband’s family in the future. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Yueyao, however, paid no mind to this matter. Whatever happened to Ma Linlin was of no concern to her. This was always Yueyao’s attitude towards people she didn’t care about.

Lady Cheng knew about this incident and was extremely annoyed, but on this joyful day, she could not show her anger and had to swallow her frustration for the time being.

Zhuang Ruolan felt nothing about it. What did it matter if Ma Linlin had a bad reputation? After all, her husband detested this little sister-in-law, and she didn’t get along with Lady Cheng. As for her father-in-law, he could be disregarded.

The next day was when the bride was to be introduced to relatives, and Yueyao went to the Upper Chamber only after she had finished her martial arts practice and freshened up.

When Yueyao arrived, she found that everyone was already there, meaning she was the last to join, following the bride and groom.

Ma Linlin mocked, "Cousin, you kept us all waiting just for you! Cousin, get up earlier next time, don’t sleep until the sun is high in the sky." In fact, she had just arrived as well, but it was a rare chance to point out a fault in Yueyao, and she would not let it slip!

Zhuang Ruolan’s face broke into a smile upon hearing this. Not only she and her husband knew when Yueyao woke up and when she slept, her father-in-law was also well aware. Ma Linlin’s ridiculing Yueyao for getting up late was truly laughable.

Ma Chengteng cast a glance at Ma Linlin, and she dared not speak further, bowing her head in aggrievement. Ma Chengteng then turned to Yueyao with a polite expression, saying, "Please, have a seat." Ma Chengteng did not particularly mind Yueyao’s tardiness, as she was less than three minutes late. The Begonia Garden was quite a distance from the Upper Chamber, so being a few minutes late was not a big deal.

Loo Ying looked at the affectionate expression Ma Chengteng had for Yueyao, and felt a twinge of disgust. Her uncle always treated her with a cold face, yet he was so fatherly towards Yueyao; the disparity between the cousins was immense.

After taking her seat, Yueyao glanced at the bride. The bride was clad in a red pomegranate dress and wearing a set of ornamental hairpieces with a gold phoenix and jade at the end of the filigree, with several beaded pomegranate flowers tucked at the side of her bun. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and fair skin; her tall and slender figure was as captivating and vibrant as a peony flower.

Ma Yue’s looks had taken after Lady Cheng, top-notch indeed. However, his usual listless and decadent air was a drawback. Now that it was a happy occasion, his cheerful demeanor swept away the wilfulness of the past, and the couple stood together looking quite well-matched.

During the gift-giving ceremony, Ma Chengteng had a big smile and handed over a sizable red envelope. Lady Cheng, unable to force a smile, pursed her lips and gave a Red Gold Filigree Long Hairpin.

Madam Tang paused for a moment upon seeing the gift from Lady Cheng, but quickly mastered her emotions and took it respectfully, saying, "Thank you, Granny Xie."

Yueyao observed all of Madam Tang’s reactions and shook her head inwardly. She had thought Lady Cheng might have changed for the better after her trip to Luzhou, but she seemed just as foolish as ever. Showing displeasure towards the daughter-in-law right after she stepped into the family was an outright slap in Madam Tang’s face. This first meeting set a stiff relationship; how would the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along in the future?

Ma Yue and Zhuang Ruolan exchanged greetings. Zhuang Ruolan’s gift to Madam Tang was a Jeweled Kingfisher Hairpin with Phoenix Design.

Madam Tang was shocked by the hairpin, thinking that her sister-in-law had given her a more valuable gift in front of so many people in the room than her mother-in-law had, effectively slapping her mother-in-law’s face on the spot.

Madam Tang felt a bit depressed. This incident showed that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law clearly did not get along, even competing against each other during her first gift-receiving event, using her as a pawn.
