Chapter 751: Chapter 751: Lu Sanzhu’s Trouble-Making and Worrying Chapter 751: Chapter 751: Lu Sanzhu’s Trouble-Making and Worrying The old lady snorted coldly, “They brought it upon themselves with their extreme actions back then, regrets are useless now. What about afterwards? Did they make a scene?”

“They wanted to make a scene, but didn’t I give the wedding gift for the main house’s eldest sister-in-law to Lord Xiang? Lord Xiang had his officers deliver it. The Yuan family was detained for a few days. They must have been scared to death of the officers, didn’t dare to lift their heads, and just slunk away sheepishly,” Shu Yu replied.

The old lady burst into hearty laughter, “Serves them right.”

Shu Yu smiled and found out the aftermath concerning the Yuan family from Madam Liang and Third Lu.

It appeared Yuan Shanchuan returned to the village once, seeking out Village Chief Chen, who truly flew into a rage this time. Whatever he said, at least for now, the Yuan family seemed to have become honest.

Continuing to read the letter, Shu Yu noticed it mentioned Madam Li was indeed coveting the headdress she had given.

Once the feast had ended and all the guests had left, Madam Li silently put away the headdress.

Madam Liang and she were sisters-in-law; even if she was lazy, such a joyful occasion demanded she stay to help.

But she was only pretending to help, actually looking for an opportunity to take some of the banquet’s lavish dishes home. She was sneaking around and, noticing Madam Li doing the same, paid extra attention.

And so she saw Madam Li enter the newlyweds’ room and take the headdress to her own quarters.

Fortunately, besides Madam Liang, Daniu also witnessed Madam Li’s actions.

Daniu immediately followed Madam Li to her room, insisting she return the headdress.

Madam Li was reluctant, claiming the headdress was too valuable and she was keeping it safe for the young couple, lest they carelessly damage it. She also said Zhou Qiao’s family had several unmarried sisters, and it wouldn’t be good if Zhou Qiao divided it as favors when they marry off. Furthermore, she argued that since it was a gift from a daughter of the Lu family, she was the most appropriate person to keep it.

But no matter how much she protested, Daniu wouldn’t agree.

In the end, Madam Li became so angered by his insistence that he was selfish, accusing him of not considering his own sister’s well-being. Such a fine headdress could be used as one or two items in Lanhua’s dowry, giving her confidence.

Still, Daniu wouldn’t relent, and eventually reclaimed the headdress, leaving Madam Li fuming.

But there was nothing she could do. On her son’s wedding day, it wouldn’t do to make a scene, especially with her daughter and son-in-law outside. It wouldn’t be good if her eldest daughter got upset, especially since the dowry she had when she married wasn’t particularly valuable.

So, she let it go, giving face to Daniu, not holding a grudge.

However, Madam Liang believed that Madam Li surely wouldn’t give up on this plan. If she couldn’t get the headdress from Daniu, maybe she would coax Zhou Qiao into giving it to her willingly.

Toward the letter’s end, Madam Liang also asked Shu Yu, since she gave such a generous gift for Daniu’s wedding,

what sort of headdress would she provide for Dabao’s future wedding? Would it be even grander and more expensive?

She even told Shu Yu not to give it to Dabao directly, but to her instead. She wouldn’t embezzle it; if Dabao’s wife turned out to be filial and considerate, she would occasionally reward her with it.

Reading this left Shu Yu speechless as the old lady scolded Madam Liang, “She’s really got her calculations down pat, doesn’t she? Dabao is just a child, and she’s already planning for his wedding?”

Shu Yu deeply agreed, but Third Lu had also added a similar sentiment.

Shu Yu thought, this couple was truly…aligned in their values. No wonder they got along and lived so happily, though Dabao’s future wife might have a tough time ahead.
