This was a tiring marriage. The three Cheng family were relatively silent on the carriage, and they didn’t know where to start — Father Cheng was confused, clutching his cuffs tightly, as if someone had just eaten tofu; Mrs. Xiao’s expression was solemn and full of a sense of ceremony like hosting a memorial service. Shao Shang rustled like a little mouse on the cake in her hand.

Mrs. Xiao couldn't bear it any longer: "It's only two cakes, you haven't finished it yet?"

Shao Shang swallowed the snack in her mouth: "Ah Mei’s cake had finished eating it early, and Ling Buyi gave it to me when I left Changqiu Palace."

Cheng Shi let out a long sigh and looked at his daughter as if she was eating barazon.

It was already in the middle of the moonlight when they returned to the Cheng residence, the old and the young all stopped, only the three brothers of the Cheng family and Cheng Cha led a group of servants who led the lights, stretched their necks and waited at the door. Mrs. Xiao was too lazy to talk nonsense, and with a wave of her long sleeves, she called several children to Jiuyu Hall for a family meeting. Cheng Shi sat on the head with a golden sword, and told everyone about the engagement in the palace today in a succinct manner.

The three brothers of the Cheng family were all stunned. After exchanging a few disbelieving glances, they all looked at the younger sister who was warmly entertaining the late-night snack. Only Cheng Cha and Mrs. Qing Li, who arranged the food table for Cheng Shi and his wife, were very calm. They have never seen or heard of Ling Buyi, the latter is well-informed and mature.

There was silence in the Jiuyu Hall, only the sound of Shao Shang's cheerful chewing could be heard. After a long time, Cheng Yong asked tentatively, "...Father, mother, should we visit our in-laws?"

—This is also a strange marriage. The current emperor is acting as an elder for his beloved adopted son, but the problem is that Ling Buyi is not an orphan without father and mother, and his parents are still alive!

Father Cheng looked blank: "Speaking of which..." He looked at his wife, "I don't know Ling Hou yet."

Mrs. Xiao bit her jawbone and said nothing.

Seeing that his wife ignored him, Cheng Shi turned to look at his daughter: "You, you, you can still eat!"

At this time, Shao Shang's enthusiasm for food finally came to an end. Shee picked up Tao Zun next to the food table, rinsed her mouth with the water in it, and said, "Why can't I eat it, it's not that I promised to marry."

Father Cheng didn't blow his mouth either, so he scolded her back, "That's not because you met Ling Buyi in private!"

Shao Shang put down Tao Zun and said earnestly, "Father, it's too late to hold anyone accountable at this time, why don't you think of a countermeasure."

Feeling that she couldn't keep up with the rhythm, Cheng Cha hesitated for a while, and then said timidly, "...Uncle, Yiyi, since that Master Ling is a great person, isn't this marriage a good thing? Why are you..."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the Cheng family except Shao Shang sighed in unison, not knowing how to answer this question.

Shao Shang sighed and asked, "Mother, tell me about Ling Buyi's family... I mean, his biological parents."

Mrs. Xiao gave her an irritated glance: "I can't stand the current little girl, Xiao Langjun, I'm tired of kissing her together, I'm tired and crooked, I talk about all kinds of romantic poems and songs, but I don't talk about business. Go! Even if people don't know how deep the water is at home, they are talking about marriage, and they deserve to suffer and suffer after marriage!"
