The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife-Chapter 2318 - 2320: Marquis Wu’an’s Wedding on October 18
"He’s not stupid; it’s just that he has inherited the Old Madam’s knack for making connections everywhere. He always thinks about befriending everyone so that no matter who comes into power, they’ll treat the Luo Family kindly in light of their friendship. However, he never considered that this behavior shows unfaithfulness. Who would trust an unfaithful person?"
Old Mu let out a sigh of relief. He had finally severed ties with the Luo Family after enduring for many years, and at last, it was over.
Minor Prefect Lu has always been efficient in handling matters, even when he was a constable. He investigated cases swiftly, and now that he’s been promoted, his efficiency has only increased. It didn’t take long for him to clear things up.
Just as Second Madam Luo said, the incident of the kidnapping of Linhao was something she was merely aware of but did not report. Second Old Master was not involved, and the current laws of Great Zhou do not penalize for such non-reporting. As for the incident with Linhao’s mother, the third branch of the family decided not to pursue the matter. Given all this, the couple from the second branch was released.
As for the couple from the first branch, Old Master Luo’s conviction was inevitable. It was indeed him who sent people to do it, and since the Emperor had no intention of intervening, Old Master Luo was sentenced to exile for attempting to harm a meritorious official.
Regarding First Madam Luo, she was not the mastermind behind either matter and was sentenced to no more than two years. However, since the eldest son of the Luo Family came up with some money and considering the governor acknowledged the Luo Family’s ties to the Emperor’s maternal line, the eldest son was allowed to buy her sentence off with eight thousand silver taels, resulting in First Madam Luo’s release.
The day after the second branch’s release from prison, they began dividing the family assets. Previously, only the third branch had been separated. With Old Master Luo gone, the eldest son took charge. Unlike his cunning father, he was more generous and did not shortchange the second branch in the division.
Upon hearing the news of the peaceful division between the two branches, Luo Linhao at the State Duke of Defense’s household remarked that the first branch had managed to produce some good results from its bad seeds.
As for Luo Linfei of the Luo Family, following the exile of Old Master Luo, she once again began agitating to become a nun.
Evidently, ever since Luo Linfei returned to the Capital City from Zhejiang, she had been demanding to become a nun. However, the Luo Family disapproved, saying it was absurd for a healthy young woman to choose such a path unless something was wrong. Moreover, Old Master Luo wished to use Luo Linfei to form an alliance through marriage. Although she was no longer a virgin, it was still possible for her to marry a minor official or a merchant from another region, as having no contribution to the family was unacceptable.
However, before finding a suitable match, Old Master Luo was exiled. Fearing that her brother had similar intentions, Luo Linfei thought it better to become a nun.
On the eighteenth of October, Marquis Wu’an is getting married.
Originally, Ms. Wang and Yang Dachuan considered renting a courtyard to serve as the bride’s natal home for Yang Xiayun’s wedding since no sister should marry from her sister’s home.
However, Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an argued that the sister was still part of the natal family, and it would also be respectable to marry from Prince An’s Mansion. Convinced by Yang Chuxia, Ms. Wang agreed, although she and Yang Dachuan would still cover the banquet expenses.
"Another chance for red envelopes, how exciting!" On this day, a few young kids gathered early at Yang Xiayun’s courtyard, eagerly waiting for the wedding guests to arrive so they could ask for red envelopes. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Just then, Yang Chuxia came out of the house, overhearing the chatter, and laughed, "I always thought your brother was money-minded, but it turns out you are even more so."
"Mother, I don’t want to be money-minded, but I need to save up for my private funds," Yangyang said, spreading his hands. "If I don’t save enough, I won’t have money to buy things for my future wife. You’re paying for my wedding, but I can’t expect you to pay for making my wife happy too."
Yang Chuxia shook her head with amusement, "Should I thank you for saving me money then?"
