Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands-Chapter 815 - 761: The Grand Finale (Part 2)

She bowed to Li Xingmao and hurried away.

She was short and stout, carrying an apron as she ran, waddling like a goose.

Everyone was amused.

But in front of Li Xingmao, they dared not laugh aloud.

Li Xingmao began to laugh first.

Only then did the villagers dare to laugh along.

Li Xingmao and E Ying, along with the children, returned to the Liu Family courtyard.

County Magistrate Li and Li Lixing followed along.

Today, the Liu house was truly honored.

The Eldest Prince and the County Magistrate came to celebrate the wedding.

After drinking a cup of wine, when Li Xingmao rose to depart, the bridegroom party from the Liang Family arrived on the road before the Liu house.

Seeing numerous armed soldiers inside and outside the Liu courtyard gate, along with a man in official robes talking to a young nobleman in fancy clothes, the Liang Family was taken aback.

The respectful Liu Family stood beside them.

The Liang Family’s band did not dare to play, stunned and standing at a distance, only observing.

The simple villagers had never seen such a scene.

The Liu Family’s neighbors, noticing the arrival of the Liang’s bridal party, ran joyfully towards the Liu houseyard, "Liu Laoda, the bridal party is here, bring out the firecrackers quickly!"

Some relatives assisting the Liu Family, seeing the Liang Family standing foolishly on the road, guessed they were unaware of the Liu’s current situation and approached with smiles to explain.

The Liang Family secretly breathed a sigh, utterly astonished.

How impressive the Liu Family is to actually know the County Magistrate and the Eldest Prince?

This... this... this...

Have they formed an enviable connection by marriage?

To please the in-laws, the Liang Family simply pulled the groom along to the Liu house to perform the wedding ceremony with Liu Er Niu.

With the Eldest Prince and County Magistrate Li officiating the wedding, this was a glorious affair worth recounting to future generations.

The clever eldest son of the Liang Family boldly requested inscriptions from the duo.

With pen and ink handy for writing wedding couplets, County Magistrate Li picked up red paper and invited Li Xingmao to inscribe first.

Li Xingmao, following the Liang youth’s request, wrote the words "Liang’s bricklayer."

County Magistrate Li picked up the pen and wrote "May you have a long, happy marriage."

The Liang youth, seeing the writing, dragged Liu Er Niu along to thank the two, "Thank you, Prince, thank you, Lord County Magistrate."

Li Xingmao looked at the young man, smiling wryly.

This inscription, a golden trademark for the youth in the future.

If the Liang Family youth is industrious, Liu Er Niu has married well, their descendants will prosper.

Diligence plus a golden trademark, they wouldn’t lack work for a lifetime.

The Liu Family also noticed the Liang youth’s cleverness, thinking this son-in-law is intelligent and the right choice.

Amidst the lively bustle, Li Xingmao took E Ying and headed back to Li Mansion.

County Magistrate Li and Li Lixing, along with the Imperial Guard entourage, sent them off from behind.

The villagers followed to watch the spectacle.

A grand procession headed towards Li Mansion.

Hidden in the shadows, Miss Chai inhaled sharply with fear.

Li Xingmao is truly the Eldest Prince?

She had just boasted to E Ying about being from the Capital...

Oh heavens, what folly did she commit just now?

A mere Capital resident competing with the Prince Consort?

Miss Chai wished to bite off her own tongue, she gathered her skirts hastily and rushed to her carriage, urging the astonished driver, "Quickly, return home!"

Nanny Cui helped her onto the carriage, "Miss, they’ve gone far, no need to fear."

Miss Chai trembled, "Can I escape? I just gave the shop’s address to Chai E Ying, what if she remembered it and seeks us when she returns to the capital? Our whole family would be beheaded; we must hurry to the Capital and have my father-in-law and husband move the shop!"

Nanny Cui hesitated, "Oh? Miss, I told you, don’t provoke the third daughter, she’s not someone to mess with!"

"How could I know she’d become the Prince Consort, if I had known..." Miss Chai was in a tumult, knowing E Ying’s temperament would never accept her apology, she thought it better to urge the father-in-law and husband to move the shop, avoiding E Ying’s wrath.

Returning home, Miss Chai hurriedly took her mother-in-law to the Capital ahead of the planned departure next day, worried that the longer wait might worsen matters.

Leaving in haste, underprepared, missing quite a bit of luggage, she received a good scolding from her mother-in-law.

Arriving in the Capital, she recounted to her husband about E Ying becoming the Prince Consort.

Also said if they don’t move, and E Ying finds them here, the whole family would be doomed.

Knowing her personality well, her husband scolded her for provoking E Ying.

Miss Chai scarcely dared defend.

Now mattered more to survive.
