Chapter 535 - 204 Ma Yue Gets Married (Part 2)_2
Madam Tang was in a dilemma whether to accept or not, deeply troubled, she reluctantly thought to seek help from Ma Yue. As for Ma Yue, he did not consider so much and gave no hints to Madam Tang.
Zhuang Ruolan, seeing the expression on Madam Tang’s face, knew her thoughts and deliberately said with a smile, "Do you not like it, younger sister?" She could not let these two join forces; she was not afraid, but it would still be troublesome if they did. Since Lady Cheng had been disrespectful to her daughter-in-law from the start, she might as well stir things up from behind. If Lady Cheng and Madam Tang were at odds, she had much less trouble to deal with.
Ma Yue, oblivious to the subtle conflict, bluntly said, "If Eldest Sister-in-law gives it to you, just take it." It was just a hairpin, yet hesitating as if it was something unprecedented.
With Ma Yue’s words, Madam Tang promptly accepted, smiling as she said, "Thank you, Eldest Sister-in-law," and placed the Phoenix Hairpin on the red tray held by her maid.
The Ma Family was quite simple, consisting of Ma Chengteng, Ma Peng, and only one Ma Linlin, along with Loo Ying and Yueyao.
The elders were to give gifts to the bride, and similarly, the bride was to give gifts to her younger siblings. Madam Tang gave all three the same, embroidered Peony pouches, evenly filled. As for what was inside the pouches, only the individuals concerned knew.
Ma Linlin opened the red envelope to see what was inside, revealing a delighted expression. Fortunately, she did not take it out then and there; otherwise, there might have been issues. Loo Ying did not open hers in front of everyone but squeezed it in her hand and then slipped it into her sleeve.
Yueyao, smiling at the beaming Madam Tang, accepted the red envelope, exclaiming, "Thank you, Cousin Brother and Cousin-in-Law." Yueyao passed the pouch to Xi Yu behind her as soon as Ma Yue and his wife turned around.
After the greetings, everyone gathered for breakfast. On the first day after the bride entered the house, she had no right to sit down but needed to serve everyone at the meal.
While Zhuang Ruolan was tactful enough not to give rise to criticism, she, together with Madam Tang, managed the meal, and once all dishes were served, both Zhuang Ruolan and Madam Tang served everyone.
