Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chapter 556: Chapter 547: Fraternal Twins Chapter 556: Chapter 547: Fraternal Twins On September 22nd, Chen Ayu got married. Chen Afu and Yu’er did not go, but Chu Lingxuan took Chu Hanyan and Yu with him. Prince He did not go in person, but he sent a high-ranking official to deliver lavish gifts. This brought great honor to the Chens, and Chen Shi, father and son, were overjoyed.

The next day, the new bride continued the custom of honoring her husband’s family. Chen Afu went as Ayu’s cousin.

The new bride, Mrs. Mao, was of average looks and slightly plump, yet she was generous and knew the rites. Her family was wealthy. Allegedly, her dowry was a parade of bridal gifts for ten miles, totaling one thousand acres of fertile farmland, and ten thousand liang of treasure box silver.

This made Chen Shi and Mrs. Zhang elated, and Chen Ye and Mrs. Hu incredibly envious. Mrs. Hu spouted some acerbic comments, suggesting that the second house is genuinely helping the third house, as the third house’s son-in-law and daughter-in-law were both excellent matches. She insinuated that their help to the main house felt insincere as they hadn’t found a wealthy family for Aju.

Old Mrs. Chen chastised her, “You ungrateful woman, don’t stoke any more conflicts. It is due to your past misdeeds that relationships between my eldest son with my second and third have deteriorated. Also, what pot calls for what lid, Aju is poorly disciplined because of you, how could she be compared with Ayu and Aman. Considering the family we’ve already found, it is an honor for her. If you dare to meddle further, I will throw you out, never to bring you along.”

They were staying at Chen Ming’s house, their quarrel was overheard by the servants, and it reached Mrs. Wang’s ears. Though, Mrs. Wang thought Mrs. Hu to be someone who cannot change her old habits, she felt old lady Chen and Chen Ye were reasonable.
