Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Grand Finale Part 5

“It’s not just Yunze, even the Marquis is reassuring,” Aunt Cheng said. “Now even Xiao Fengxing and Qingqing, those troublesome ones, are no longer in the mansion. Shinian is more at ease in the Marquis’s residence.”

Madam Fu nodded with a smile. Initially, what they felt was regrettable about the marriage with the Marquis Changping’s house was the presence of Xiao Fengxing and Qingqing.

But Madam Fu also knew that in this world, how can everything in a marriage be perfect?

Setting aside Xiao Fengxing and Qingqing, there was nothing bad about this marriage.

Now, even the matter with Xiao Fengxing and Qingqing, which was unpleasant, is gone. Madam Fu was completely at ease, without any worries.

The Marquis’s residence is simple, and the old madam knows Fu Shinian well, so Madam Fu did not force Fu Shinian to learn many rules.

However, managing the household is still something that needs to be learned.

For six months, Fu Shinian had been learning household management at home.

Madam Fu handed many responsibilities over to Fu Shinian.

Though the Marquis’s residence is simple in terms of people, it is, after all, a Marquis’s residence with social interactions and various matters to be taken over by Fu Shinian in the future.

Fortunately, Fu Shinian learned quickly, and within these six months, she managed the Fu Mansion with finesse.

But since in three days she’ll be marrying, Madam Fu let Fu Shinian have a good rest.

Hearing that Fu Mingzhu would come back for a short stay, Fu Shinian waited eagerly.

The Gu family’s carriage stopped at the Fu Mansion’s entrance. Fu Mingzhu had just stepped down from the carriage, not even had time to look up, when she heard Fu Shinian’s voice, “Sister! I’ve missed you dearly!”

Following that, Gu Yunze saw a figure darting towards them.

In the next moment, Fu Shinian was already in Fu Mingzhu’s arms, acting spoiled.

Seeing the sisters embracing, Gu Yunze felt like a bad person separating the sisters.

But that evening, Gu Yunze realized that though he came along for the stay, he barely saw Fu Mingzhu at all.

During the day, he wasn’t in the mansion, naturally couldn’t see her.

But at night, upon returning, he learned that Fu Mingzhu had gone to Fu Shinian’s courtyard, planning to sleep with her for the next few days.

Leaving Gu Yunze to guard an empty room alone.

“Sister, is life after marriage good?” Fu Shinian couldn’t help but ask nervously.

“Before I got married, the closer it got, the more nervous I felt, just like you,” Fu Mingzhu said. “Luckily, my husband and mother-in-law gave me confidence.”

“No need to mention my husband, he always thinks ahead for me, not letting me worry,” Fu Mingzhu smiled. “The family is simple; my father-in-law is easygoing and has been stationed at the border for many years. Since I entered the residence, my mother-in-law handed the management of the household to me. Luckily, the family is simple, making management not difficult. My sister-in-law is straightforward and not petty. They all say I should often return home, but I’m worried that frequent visits would make people think I’m not doing well at my in-laws’ and cause trouble for the Gu family, so I don’t return often.”

“Don’t be nervous.” Fu Mingzhu stroked Fu Shinian’s hair. “You are familiar with the old madam and the county princess; things will remain as they were before. You are even better off than I am; you are familiar with your in-laws early on, it’s just a change in residence.”

“Moreover, after marriage, it becomes more convenient to visit often. Whether I visit the Marquis’s residence or you come to the Gu Mansion, it’s very convenient,” Fu Mingzhu smiled.

“The Marquis’s residence is similar to the Gu family; currently, there’s only the old madam and a sister-in-law at home,” Gu Yunze’s elder brother is also at the border.

Mrs. Gu suggests that Gu Yunze spends a few years in the capital with Fu Mingzhu, living sweet marital life together, ideally having children early.

Whether Gu Yunze goes to the military alone or Fu Mingzhu accompanies him, it’s feasible.

“I heard you’ve been learning household management at home for half a year, and now you handle the affairs of the house. Our household is much larger than the Marquis’s residence; if you can manage here, you can surely manage well at the Marquis’s.”

Once Fu Shinian is married, household management responsibilities will be handed over to Yu Jingyun.

Before Fu Shinian started learning management, it was Yu Jingyun who managed.

Only in the past six months Fu Shinian tried it out.

Fu Shinian nodded, thinking about meeting Fu Mingzhu often without concerns, her nervousness decreased and expectancy increased.

“Let’s sleep early, you’ll need to get up in a few hours,” Fu Mingzhu reminded. “There are many tasks tomorrow, you’d best be full of energy.”

Fu Shinian nodded, snuggled up to Fu Mingzhu, and slept.

In a daze, she was pulled awake.

Outside it was barely light, Chunmian and Chunyu pulled her up to change her into the wedding dress.

The accompanying woman styled her hair and put on make-up.

Fu Shinian had never worn such heavy makeup, and once she was fully awake, it coincided with the makeup being finished. She saw herself in the mirror and jumped.

“Why is my face painted so white?” Fu Shinian reached out to check how thick the powder was.

Just as she reached out, Nanny Yu stopped her, “Miss, don’t touch it; if it’s ruined, it won’t look good.”

“It’s because your skin is fair, and you rarely use powder. Today’s makeup is actually only slightly more than usual,” Nanny Yu said. “Thus, it appears whiter than before.”

“A bride needs to wear more makeup than usual to look radiant,” Nanny Yu smiled, “Look closely, it’s beautiful.”

Indeed, upon getting used to it, it looked quite nice.

Fu Shinian was assisted to the main hall, where she paid respects to Mr. Fu and Madam Fu.

Madam Fu held back tears, and while Fu Shinian lowered her head, she secretly wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.

Mr. Fu said with red eyes, “Come back home often.”

Madam Fu said, “Though the old madam is kind, you must not act recklessly relying on her kindness. You are the Marchioness now, manage the household well in the Marquis’s residence.”

“Yes,” Fu Shinian replied, “As a married daughter, I won’t bring shame to father and mother. I will make everyone praise you for raising me well.”

“You child,” Madam Fu laughed through her tears at Fu Shinian’s words.

Mr. Fu waved his hand, “Quickly go, quickly go, don’t be so mischievous at the Marquis’s.”

Fu Shinian held back tears, smiled, and was assisted out of the main hall by the attendants.

Fu Changqin was already waiting outside, “Niannian, come.”

Now, the youngest sister was also sent away in the bridal sedan.

Fu Changqin thought of this and felt sad, wanting to cry.

Before Fu Shinian got up, he quickly raised his hand and wiped his tears with his sleeve.

Yu Jingyun watched helplessly, saying to Fu Mingzhu, “When carrying you, your brother was like this too, secretly wiping tears. I thought he gained experience and this time would be better, but he still cried.”

Fu Mingzhu covered her mouth and laughed, “No wonder back then, I felt my brother was not stable carrying me.”
