One had to know that raising horses was something that only wealthy people would do. Although their village was not poor, no one could afford to raise a horse. Naturally, it attracted the villagers to gather around and watch.

Aunt Zhang didn't want to go in the house, so she asked the matchmaker to go out and tell her about it. The matchmaker chattered on and on about the marriage proposal, and then went to the woodshed to take a look.

There was not much wood left in the woodshed, but it was still neatly stacked, and it must have been piled up by Xiaowan before she left home.

Looking further in, although everything on the brick bed was shabby, it was neat and clean. One could see the character of the people who lived here. The more it was like this, the more heartbreaking it was.

Madam Xu naturally wanted face and ran over saying: ”What are you looking at? This is a woodshed, it's not meant for humans.”

Aunt Zhang snorted with laughter and turned her gaze away. She did not like to see this face at all.

When the matchmaker brought out the one hundred silver as a betrothal gift, the surrounding commoners became excited.

Although the Qingling Village was not poor, nor did any rich or powerful families come, even in Baisha Town, they had never heard of anyone taking a wife and giving them a one hundred silver betrothal gift.

This time, Madam Xu was truly rich.

The greedy woman, holding the silver, was stunned. Aunt Zhang, as the family's elder, coldly said: ”We do not need the dowry, the things in the family are not rare either. Since the child is already with us, he will not come back. On the day of the celebration, I will bring you some wine and food to make you happy, and you can also invite the villagers over. As for everything else, naturally, we will have the final say, and Xiaowan has agreed to it. ”

”This …” The usually ruthless and fierce person was now stuttering. Firstly, she was pressured by money, and secondly, the mighty Uncle Biao. With her eyes wide open, her legs trembled.

Aunt Zhang naturally did not care whether Madam Xu agreed or not. Coming to gift the betrothal gift was just an act, to make everything fall into place. There was no need to discuss anything else with this person.

The surrounding villagers were all envious of the bountiful betrothal gift. Madam Xu also wanted face and purposely said: ”We should leave from our parents' home after getting married. Why don't we send Xiaowan back? I, I will prepare some for her …”

Aunt Zhang smiled faintly: ”When children go to our place, they don't have any good parts, so if we don't leave some space for them, we won't have to go against each other, right?”

Madam Xu was startled and took a step back. He watched as they left and sat on the carriage, showing off their might.

The villagers swarmed forward as Madam Xu chased them away with a hundred taels of silver. When she returned to the house, she even pinched her face.

Only the Aunt Wang next door, who had a better relationship with each other, was able to enter the door.

Aunt Wang's eyes were rolling around as she calculated shrewdly, ”It was all because of you painstakingly pulling her up that today, it's all yours.”

Therefore, the marriage between the Xiaowan and Ling Chaofeng was decided. They should have gone to the town s yamen to register, but their county magistrate of Baisha Town was a fool, and was not in a hurry anyway. On a lucky day, he would directly head over to the Li Prefecture Department to ask Prefect Liang to be his witness.

The Aunt Zhang said happily: ”It's a pity that Ershan can't come back to drink Big Brother's wedding wine. Since Lian Yi is pregnant, and cannot endure such a bumpy journey, she should be able to walk on official business. and also cannot leave Lian Yi alone in the capital. ”

Right now, in the capital, he had just returned from the Ministry Of Justice and was rushing back to his house in the middle of the afternoon to take a look at Lian Yi.

Seeing that he doted on his wife like this, and was exactly the same as his grandfather in the past, Old Madem naturally liked her more, but unfortunately, such a good grandson and daughter-in-law was unable to enter his home.

Ershan did not care, rather than being the descendant of Bi Family, he was more willing to be Ling Chaofeng's younger brother.

Before he left early in the morning, he would only be back at night. Now, he wouldn't be eating in the Ministry Of Justice, and would return everyday to accompany his wife.

just threw up and laid on the bed to rest. Ershan lightly put his head on her stomach and scolded: ”You still can't hear anything can you?”

Ershan hugged her, and asked her if she was feeling well, then shook his head: ”I'm very happy everyday, I never thought that I would be a mother so soon, it's all our children.”

At this time, a servant came to report that a guest had arrived, and it was the eldest son and miss of Bi’s Mansion. Lian Yi asked Ershan to help her up and they both came out to welcome him.

Outside the hall, Bi Zhenye and Hanxi stood together, behind them were female servants carrying gifts. When Ershan saw them, he said: ”You're so busy, and are doing some big work, why are you here.”

Bi Zhenye smiled and said, ”I knew that you would come back every day at noon, so I took my time to come over as well. On one hand, congratulations to you and Lian Yi. Also, since grandmother is living here, Hanxi and I should come and pay respects. ”

As he said that, he brought them to the inner courtyard to see Old Madem. Hanxi supported Lian Yi and asked gently: ”Sister-in-law, are you alright?”
