After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 199 - 198: Watch How He Wins Over His Mother-in-Law!
Chapter 199: Chapter 198: Watch How He Wins Over His Mother-in-Law!
Liang Chen returned to the mansion, and Su Xinger and Liang Zhi quickly approached him.
"How did it go?"
Liang Chen sat down dejectedly, "Forget it."
His uncle and sister-in-law were anxious, "What exactly happened?"
He raised his head, "I originally wanted to beat him up, but when I saw him grinning so shamelessly, I thought of myself... When I thought of myself, I couldn’t bring myself to hit him!"
"..."
Liang Zhi said angrily, "Are you stupid? What does thinking of yourself matter? You missed the chance to strike today, and there won’t be a chance in the future!"
"Hey, hey," Su Xinger stepped in to protect her husband, "What do you know, you lonely bachelor? Talk again when you find someone you love!"
Liang Zhi was so furious at the pair!
It seems the whole family only cares for Aunt!
"I’ve already thought it through," Liang Chen said solemnly, "This matter is settled, but we can’t be careless. We can’t let Aunt leave our Liang Family without ensuring everything is right.
"If there are any issues with the Pei family, Mrs. Ning would find it difficult to respond, and no one else is as suitable as us to act as a matchmaker for the bride’s side.
"At this point, there’s no need to be too particular. Wife, volunteer yourself; go to the Ning Family and say we were specially recommended by the fifth brother to act as the matchmakers and discuss plans with Mrs. Ning.
"To deal with that brat, we have to be personally involved to be assured. Acting this way, I doubt that brat would dare say anything."
Liang Zhi thought this was reasonable.
...
The Pei family prepared earnestly for two days, and Mrs. Ning learned from Fu Zhen that the Pei family was coming to propose, so she quietly began her preparations.
The wedding dress, dowry, accompanying servants—all of these required organization. So, she didn’t even visit the shop for days.
On the afternoon of the second day, Mrs. Cheng and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. He, personally visited to express their intent to matchmake between Pei Zhan and Fu Zhen. Mrs. Ning naturally agreed, so both sides agreed on the proposal for the next day.
The matchmaker for the groom’s side was from the Du family, and as Mrs. Ning was pondering the matchmaker for the bride’s side, Su Xinger sent over a note volunteering herself and Liang Chen as the matchmakers for the Ning family.
How could Mrs. Ning refuse this? She replied, "With the General’s wife managing affairs, we can rest assured ten thousand times."
On the designated day, Liang Chen and Su Xinger arrived at the Ning Mansion early. Around mid-morning, Pei Yu and his wife arrived with Pei Zhan, along with Mrs. Cheng and Du Mingqian’s parents, the National Guardian General Du Xun and his wife.
Liang Chen and Su Xinger opened their eyes wide, inspecting the betrothal gifts from the Pei family, scrutinizing Pei Zhan from the moment he dismounted to stepping inside for greetings, and his every move once seated. Unfortunately, they couldn’t find anything inappropriate!
They were feeling a bit unconvinced when suddenly Mrs. Ning’s voice exclaimed, "A wedding in a month? That’s impossible!"
The couple immediately turned their gaze!
They saw Mrs. Ning solemnly addressing the Pei family, "I understand the General is eager for his son to marry. Originally, I was concerned about the disparity in status and not a good match, but because of the General Mansion’s good reputation, I let go of my worries and agreed to the proposal.
"But no matter how urgent it is, how could it be this rushed?
"My Ning family is small, but I raised my daughter all by myself, cherishing her in every way.
"I believe the General, in coming to propose, knows of my daughter’s frail health and how she isn’t fit to endure much strain. If the wedding is conducted so hastily and casually, I will have to reconsider."
Having said this, Mrs. Ning pushed the Pei family’s gifts forward slightly.
The once harmonious atmosphere instantly turned cold.
The couple immediately brightened up, straightening their backs!
Since it’s decided to get married, it doesn’t matter if it’s sooner or later, they obviously wouldn’t block the path anymore.
But getting married meant this kid would benefit for a lifetime; could they be at peace with that?
Liang Chen is even older than him! Look at the situation now.
He certainly has no way to deal with this kid, but isn’t there Mrs. Ning?
This is truly Aunt’s biological mother! It’s Pei Zhan’s future mother-in-law!
As the woman who raised Fu Zhen, Mrs. Ning naturally doesn’t want the marriage to be conducted hastily; now that she has concerns about the wedding date, let’s see how this kid behaves in front of his mother-in-law!
As fellow family members, they enjoy seeing Pei Zhan being challenged by his future mother-in-law!
Su Xinger coughed, "Indeed, Miss Fu is delicate, and she is the treasure of Mrs. Ning’s palm. The Pei family is of high status as the General’s Mansion, so they cannot act too carelessly. Since the Pei family made such a request, why not show your sincerity and let us weigh whether it’s worth this rush?"
On the other hand, as a middle person, Mrs. Cheng found it reasonable, "Lao Pei, you can’t be counting on within a month to embrace a grandchild, can you?"
Pei Yu and his wife looked at each other, how would they know this?
It was all the brat’s idea! freeωebnovēl.c૦m
But there’s no reason for the family to undermine each other.
Just about to smile and mediate, Pei Zhan on the side stood up and bowed deeply to Mrs. Ning, "Would you honor me, Madam, by having a private conversation elsewhere?"
This certainly isn’t following etiquette!
How could Liang Chen allow that?
He said, "Say whatever you have here, let us, the matchmakers for the bride’s side, hear it too!"
The brat had so many tricks, and Mrs. Ning seemed kind-hearted, better not let him fool her.
Pei Zhan, however, stood firm, waiting for Mrs. Ning.
Mrs. Ning sighed, stood up, and said, "General Pei, please follow me."
Pei Zhan took a sandalwood box from Guo Song’s hand and went inside to a quiet side courtyard.
Mrs. Ning said, "General Pei, please take a seat."
But Pei Zhan stood and opened the box, laying out various items on the table in front of him. There was a skewer from a candied hawthorn, half a piece of velvet flower, homework torn in half and carefully taped back together, a sword feather, patches from armor...
Every item looked old and... cheap, completely unworthy of Pei Zhan’s status and position.
Mrs. Ning asked in surprise, "What is this?"
Pei Zhan bowed his head, "I invited Madam here to express a few sincere words. Since childhood, I have loved a girl, but unfortunately, we never had the chance or fate to be together.
"In my youth, I wasn’t aware of my feelings; only after she left did I realize that for over ten years, she had occupied a large part of my heart.
"These are items I quietly collected while following her as a child, each connected to both me and her. I’ve kept them for many years, originally intending to take them with me to the grave.
"I never imagined I would have the chance to fulfill my desires while alive.
"Madam," at this point, his passionate gaze met Mrs. Ning’s eyes, "I believe, what I’m saying, you understand it all, don’t you?"
