TFWYH – Chapter 244 Xiaofang’s Wedding

“This child—how can he be like this? It’s really too much!”
Ling Yue first indignantly expressed her dissatisfaction with Ling Chen’s behavior, then frowned suspiciously.
“But thinking carefully… he’s not wrong, is he? Every time he borrowed money from you, he returned it, right?”

Su Xi nodded. “He did return it!”

…Though each time he returned money, it was after borrowing even more, but technically, yes—he did return it.

Ling Yue smiled.
“Then that settles it. Borrowing and repaying—our Ling family has always had excellent manners.
Hm? Sounds like my mother is calling me. I’ll go first.”

Su Xi: …

Could you people PLEASE act like normal human beings?!

Su Xi really wanted to cry. From far away, she suddenly saw little Ling Chen coming back.

She reacted like she had seen a ghost and vanished in an instant.

Little Ling Chen ran forward, utterly puzzled.
“Why did she leave? I wanted to return her money. Su Xi, where are you?”

…Return money?

Thinking of her silver, Su Xi reluctantly appeared again in front of him, staring silently.

Little Ling Chen smiled sweetly.
“Lend me another three thousand taels, and I’ll immediately return the two thousand five hundred from yesterday.”

Su Xi: …

And she vanished again!

Ling Chen saw her run and got annoyed.
“Su Xi! Where did you go? I’m really returning it! Don’t you want it?”

Su Xi silently hid up in a tree, hugging her shriveled purse with tears streaming down.

What a miserable fate!

She, a dignified Shadow Guard of the Dragon Court, had ended up like this?

Cooking and doing laundry for Madam Jiang every day was one thing.
Being tricked by a brat into giving up her cultivation manual was another.

But now she couldn’t even protect her funeral savings!

How could there be such an infuriating child in this world?!

Aaaaahhh!
—

Time flew by.

Finally, it was Ling Xiaofang’s wedding day.

The family discussed it last night and decided not to return to Huanshan Village. Today they would go directly to the Yang family for the ceremony.

Early morning in Xiangxi Town was peaceful; many people were still asleep.

Su Xi walked ahead with a blank expression, urging the carriage along the snowy path.

Inside the carriage, Madam Jiang placed a silver bridal headpiece she prepared for Ling Xiaofang into a box.

Ling Yue looked displeased and muttered,
“When Sister-in-law married in, she didn’t even get a proper betrothal gift. Why are we giving Ling Xiaofang something so nice?”

Madam Jiang sighed helplessly.
“Back then the family was poor. Now our circumstances are better, and your Big Uncle and Shengzi are close to us. Proper manners must be observed.”

Tang Wan nodded sensibly.
“Mother is right.”

“See how sensible Wan’er is? You, even with a big business, aren’t as level-headed as Wan’er.”
Madam Jiang playfully glared at her daughter.

Ling Yue snorted and said nothing more.

She simply disliked Ling Xiaofang. She had no fondness for that cousin and didn’t think she deserved anything.

Madam Jiang didn’t mind much. She regarded Ling Xiaofang merely as a younger generation.

What she didn’t mention was that she had already commissioned pure gold jewelry for both Tang Wan and Ling Yue.

And she would continue doing so in the future.

Tang Wan’s set would be given once they arrived in the capital.
Ling Yue’s would be given as part of her dowry when she married.

Soon, they arrived at the Yang residence.

By the time they reached, the groom had already brought the bride back. The bride was about to step over the fire basin.

The Yang house was bustling—inside and outside the courtyard, people filled every corner. Adults and children alike wore bright, joyful smiles.

Ling Canghe spotted the group from afar as they got off the carriage. He squeezed through the crowd and hurried over.

“Sister-in-law! You’re finally here. I thought you weren’t coming!”

Madam Jiang smiled at him.
“This is Xiaofang’s big day. As her aunt, how could I possibly not come?”
