Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm-Chapter 793 - : He Stands Shoulder to Shoulder with Qiao Xiaomai
Chapter 793 -793: He Stands Shoulder to Shoulder with Qiao Xiaomai
The next day, they didn’t get up until the sun was high in the sky.
Both were well-rested and full of energy, the man handsome and the woman enchanting, they were a personification of the four characters: a match made in heaven.
After a late breakfast, they idled about for a while before going to Anping Village with Qiao Changshun, Qiao Dami, and Qiao Zhaodi to attend the wedding feast at noon.
As a successful candidate in the imperial examinations, Tong Sanlang’s status was obvious. Moreover, everyone had tasted the benefits of his success, which is why they respectfully made way when they saw him coming on a horse carriage. Everyone greeted him with warmth and genuineness, filled with reverence.
Reverence.
This kind of treatment was due to his academic achievements.
...
In the past, Tong Sanlang was just Tong Tiehu’s grandson and Qiao Xiaomai’s husband. Apart from these, he had no other status. No matter how skilled he was in martial arts or how handsome he was, he was just a country youth.
But now it’s different.
Regardless of whether it’s Tong Tiehu or Qiao Xiaomai, they can’t outrank him anymore.
From now on, when referring to him, he will no longer be known as the grandson of Village Chief Tong or Xiaomai’s husband.
Instead, he will be referred to as, Scholar Tong.
He is no longer just the man behind Qiao Xiaomai.
Through the imperial examination, he has rightfully earned his own standing. He is now on an equal footing with Qiao Xiaomai.
“Ah, look who’s here! Sanlang and Xiaomai, come in quickly.” Zhu Cuiying greeted them with a chrysanthemum-like smile on her face as she brought the bride and Qiao Dazhu to welcome them personally.
Tong Sanlang returned the greeting to Qiao Dazhu with a smile and afterward presented a gift of ten taels silver, symbolizing perfection and completeness.
However, when it came to Zhu Cuiying, his expression remained indifferent and he refrained from addressing her as aunt.
He was well aware of how Zhu Cuiying had badmouthed Qiao Xiaomai in front of Zhu Hongyun in the past. It was due to Zhu Cuiying that Zhu Hongyun and his mother held such a poor impression of Qiao Xiaomai.
With this in mind, his restraint from being frosty towards Zhu Cuiying was already a monumental effort on his part.
Expecting him to address Zhu Cuiying affectionately was out of the question.
Qiao Xiaomai shared the same sentiment. She also maintained a distant attitude towards Zhu Cuiying and absolutely refused to call her aunt.
Zhu Cuiying noticed this shift in their attitudes and couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy.
Now that the Sun Family had been thrown into jail, she was worried if Qiao Xiaomai was going to settle old scores with her…
Feeling anxious internally, she tried harder to please them externally, escorting Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang straight into the bride’s room.
As per local customs, a banquet would be set up in the bride’s room during weddings and it would be occupied by the bride’s family members.
Now, the bride’s family was invited to leave, making room for Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang.
Being the best decorated room of the house, it was fitting for the most revered guests.
Without any qualms, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang accepted the attempts to flatter them by Zhu Cuiying and Qiao Changfu as they believed they deserved this treatment.
Qiao Ying, kept glancing at the bridal chamber with sour feelings.
Like Qiao Meipan, she also had feelings for Tong Sanlang. However, as Qiao Meipan’s aunt, with the Sun Family in control, when the Qiao Family proposed a marriage, it was proposed for Qiao Meipan, not for her, leaving her on the sidelines.
When Tong Sanlang outright rejected the Sun Family’s marriage proposal, she was filled with joy, only to find Tong Sanlang correspondingly entangled with Qiao Xiaomai before she could even figure out a way to catch Tong Sanlang’s attention.
Over the course of half a year, one of them became a successful candidate in the imperial examinations, and the other gained favor with the empress dowager.
All the while, she hadn’t yet settled her own marriage.
How could there be such a vast difference between people!
Heart wrenching!

Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang didn’t have the time to consider Qiao Ying’s feelings. After trying a few dishes when the final course was served, they left promptly in their horse carriage.
