The Slender Waist-Chapter 652 - 470: Outraged

The Pei Residence was preparing for a celebration, and Wei Zheng’s wedding feast was naturally beyond reach now.

Not only could they not attend, but there were also some who had initially planned to go to the Wei Residence for the banquet who would reconsider and change their plans—even though those getting married were only the Princess’s personal maid and the Prince of Yonghuai’s personal guard.

The Princess openly declared that she treated Xiaoman as a sister.

For Pei Jue, Zuo Zhong was also a person he spent day and night with...

Sometimes, invisible power is more useful than official position.

If the wedding banquet is held at the Pei Residence, and the bridal chamber is also at the Pei Residence, isn’t that the celebration of the Pei Residence, the celebration of the Prince of Yonghuai’s family?

At first, there were people who hesitated, but seeing their colleagues flocking to the Pei Residence with invitation cards, indicating their attendance at the banquet, others followed suit.

This made Xiaoman a bit worried, "Lady, won’t this embarrass Wei Zheng? If the people from the Wei Residence vent their anger on Luo Ji afterwards, what should we do?"

Feng Yun smiled.

"Since I have already arm-wrestled with them in public on behalf of Luo Yue, putting them to shame, tell me, do they need to weigh how they should treat Luo Ji in the future?"

Xiaoman suddenly understood.

The lady certainly did not oppose the Wei Residence out of spite.

Wei Zheng’s marriage was already a settled matter. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Luo Yue’s status as a concubine could not be changed either.

So, in the days to come, with Wei’s mother’s disapproval and Wei’s wife from a distinguished family, could Luo Yue and her son have an easy life?

Feng Yun could not change anything, but what she could do was to display this attitude, so that Wei’s mother and Wei Zheng’s new bride would not bully Luo Yue and her child in the future.

Xiaoman said, "Lady, you truly treat us sisters with all your heart, I... I can never repay you in this lifetime..."

"It’s also unfair to you," Feng Yun smiled, "Your marriage needn’t have been hurried like this."

Xiaoman blushed and lowered her head, "I actually prefer it this way, hasty."

Feng Yun laughed, "Then shall I congratulate you now?"

Xiaoman bowed deeply, "I would be grateful to the lady for making this happen."

The two of them shared a smile.

On the eighth day, the Pei Residence was bustling with the wedding banquet, with all the influential figures in attendance, and even those who could not come sent gifts.

All of this, of course, was due to Pei Jue’s influence.

Zuo Zhong’s father and stepmother came too, bringing along two younger siblings of different ages, each carrying gifts. As soon as they entered the residence, they bent over to apologize, admitting that they hadn’t been able to prepare for their son’s big day.

But to others, this sounded odd.

Was this not because Zuo Zhong hadn’t informed them in advance?

As guests arrived, Feng Yun was not in a hurry, receiving gifts with a smiling face and inviting guests to take their seats.

However, during the wedding ceremony, Zuo Zhong’s father and stepmother kept looking around, yet no one came to invite them to the stage to serve tea to the bride.

Reluctantly, they sat through the wedding banquet and left early under the scrutinizing gaze of the crowd.

The wedding ceremony went very smoothly, and when Feng Yun took Huanhuan and a few others to tease the bridal chamber, Xiaoman was moved to tears.

"Lady..."

"Don’t cry, don’t cry, if your makeup is ruined and the groom sees it, that would be unfortunate."

Feng Yun held her and patted her gently, Xiaoman then hugged her tightly.

"Lady...my life is yours now."

Feng Yun got a fright, "Tsk tsk tsk, what nonsense are you talking about on your wedding night?"

She then bowed towards the bright red candles burning in the bridal chamber.

"May the heavens bear witness, don’t listen to the silly words of a foolish child."

Xiaoman burst into laughter through tears.

-

Feng Yun did not stay in the bridal chamber for too long, as the feast outside dissolved, she left two maids to take care of miscellaneous tasks and returned with Huanhuan and Peipei.

There were too many social exchanges, and Pei Jue didn’t care about these things, so she had to manage them all, recording them in a book for future reciprocation.

"Gifts were also sent from the Grand Princess Residence?"

She looked at the list of gifts in her hand, frowning slightly.

This time to the capital, Xing Dala came along.

The accounts were completely managed by this young man.

Upon hearing her, Xing Dala nodded and said with a smile, "Xiaoman’s wedding sure has received recognition. Not only the Grand Princess, but many dignitaries have sent gifts..."

Feng Yun took it over and felt its heavy weight in her hands.

This was not a mere list of gifts; this was an assertion of the Prince of Yonghuai’s control over the Western Capital Dynasty...

The list represented not money, but attitude.

-

The morning of the ninth day, just as Feng Yun opened her eyes, Huanhuan came to report.

"Xiaoman came before dawn and is waiting outside, wishing to pay her respects to the lady."

Feng Yun had her called in.

In the bright morning light, Xiaoman, wearing a shy smile, knelt before Feng Yun, and when she looked up again, the sweetness in her eyes almost spilled over.

Teasingly, Feng Yun said, "Coming so early, I thought Zuo Zhong had mistreated you and you were coming to complain."
