Qianxun nodded and said, "If you’re talking about the incident where he accidentally killed someone in the entertainment district, he has mentioned it." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"It’s all my fault," Jiang Mei’s expression suddenly changed when she recalled the past, "If it wasn’t for a mother like me, he wouldn’t have encountered those things at all."

Perhaps feeling that the topic was too heavy, Qianxun decided to skip over it, "By the way, Mom, do you still have friends in Xicheng? Since we don’t know them, we thought we’d wait until you’re back to discuss it. If there are any, we should invite them to the wedding tomorrow."

Jiang Mei pondered for a moment, with a hint of hesitation, "Friends... I have some, but..."

"Just invite them over! The more the merrier."

Still hesitating, Jiang Mei eventually shook her head and said, "Better not... Liancheng has already told you about that incident, so you must know what I used to do. Those friends of mine are just some sisters, it’s not appropriate."

"What’s wrong with that? No one will mind. To me, they are simply your friends, Mom. Don’t worry too much, the main thing is for everyone to be happy."

Jiang Mei looked at Qianxun as if she were looking at a treasure and smiled knowingly, "It is truly Liancheng’s good fortune to marry you."

"Not at all, he has always pampered me and treated me well, it’s my good fortune."

"Alright, there are only a few bowls left to wash here. You’re the most important person tomorrow, so you’d better go back and rest early to freshen up—what time do you have to get up for makeup?"

Qianxun thought about it and felt a headache coming on, "They want me to get up at three in the morning for makeup..."

That was one of the reasons she didn’t want to have a wedding; she was sure she would be exhausted by the end of it.

"My goodness, you better go catch up on some sleep! Hurry up, don’t stay here any longer!"

Jiang Mei dried her hands and pushed Qianxun all the way back to her room.

Qianxun: "..."

But it was not even eight o’clock yet, she wouldn’t be able to fall asleep even if she tried.

Jiang Mei then went to the study, opened the door and said, "Son, what’s the plan for tomorrow? Is it a bridal procession? Does Qianxun not have to go to her mother’s house?"

Jiang Mei had also heard Gu Liancheng talk about Qianxun’s background a few times.

"We’ve already discussed it and we’ll treat this place as her maternal home. I’ll finish up here and leave later. As for her family, we’ve invited the people from the orphanage, so let’s have Sister Maria come. They should be arriving soon."

"That’s good..." Jiang Mei respected Qianxun’s decision.

"The Shang family has been invited as well, but not as her maternal family."

"You all decide."

Later on, the doorbell rang and when Jiang Mei went to open the door, seeing the nun and a group of children of various ages, she knew it was them. After introducing herself, she invited them inside.

Qianxun hadn’t fallen asleep yet and came down again when she heard the noise.

It had been a long time since she last saw the people from the orphanage, and they all hugged one another.

"Sister Qianxun... Your house is so big and beautiful..."

Second Treasure heard the noise and also came downstairs to greet them.

After a while, Ye Fei arrived too. She came as Qianxun’s closest maternal relative. Since Qianxun didn’t have many female friends, they also invited Song Yanxi to be a bridesmaid, though she would be coming over tomorrow.

Later in the evening, Ye Fei went to Qianxun’s room, and Gu Liancheng knocked on the door to tell her he was leaving.

"Goodbye, husband."

"Have a good rest."

"Goodbye, Mom." The two treasures waved at her too.

"Pfft... Cute, aren’t you staying?"
