Chapter 1266 - 162, Bridal Gift
"Really not?" Tian Xuan looked at her with lingering uncertainty but seeing Lin Wei still shaking her head, she somewhat relaxed. Yet, she still deliberately put on a stern face to "warn" her, "Weiwei, we are good sisters, and I know that Young Master Cheng is one of the most eligible bachelors in the Capital city, but you can’t like him either. If you do, I’ll, I’ll sever ties with you!"
"I don’t like him, definitely don’t like him!" Lin Wei kept agreeing verbally but inside, she was complaining endlessly. Now it wasn’t a matter of whether she liked him or not, but whether Madam Cheng would let her go.
Thinking of the way Madam Cheng looked at her as if seeing a daughter-in-law, Lin Wei was full of unspeakable bitterness. However, she couldn’t discuss her situation with Xiao Linzi with anyone else. This past month had truly tormented her.
There were many who helped Tian Hui with her makeup, but, of course, not all of them were eligible to exchange a few words with Tian Hui. Therefore, when Su Qiuyu and Yao Hanai arrived, those young ladies of lesser noble status tactfully retreated to the side.
This move made room for Lin Yuan and the others. Tian Xuan personally led them into the room, and as they entered, they heard Su Qiuyu’s gentle, water-like voice flowing slowly.
"Sister Hui, congratulations on your wedding. This is my gift for your bridal adornment, wishing you and Brother Xia a harmonious marriage and the quick birth of a precious child."
Others referred to Xia Zhen as Young Master Xia or General Xia, but only she called him Brother Xia, which revealed the close relationship between her and the General Mansion.
"Thank you, Qiu Yu." Tian Hui, her face peachy, slightly shyly received the small box from Su Qiuyu’s hands. Initially, she also thought she would become sisters-in-law with Su Qiuyu, but she had not expected Lin Yuan to appear later.
The bridal gifts from friends were to be opened on the spot, not only to display the status of the one who presents the gift but also as a sign of respect from the bride to them.
Su Qiuyu’s father was the current Prime Minister, and her aunt was the reigning Empress, so everyone was very curious about what the gift she brought would be. All eyes were fixed on Tian Hui’s fair hands.
