Chapter 365 Unexpectedly, I got the "Domestic Intrigue" dungeon.
"Hmm...you have a point. Let's just get through today and talk about it later."
Although the fifth concubine was angry, she knew that what Lu Xuening said was not a lie.
In fact, the more important reason why the Lu family restricts their internet freedom is the sheer volume of information online.
In other words, they are not easily brainwashed and are not willing to be used as tools for marriage alliances.
Or, to put it another way, if they were to secretly engage in romantic relationships, at best they would lose the purity of their role as tools for arranged marriages, and at worst they would lose the tools themselves.
Fifth Concubine was actually a laissez-faire type. Since she was able to seduce Old Master Lu on her own, she believed that letting them go out and find their own targets would not necessarily be worse than the current strict control.
After all, who would turn down money?
But her word doesn't count, and this isn't the most pressing issue right now.
"Thank you, Fifth Grandma. Then... shall I go and accompany the bride?"
After asking for permission, Lu Xuening stepped back. A smile appeared on her lips the moment her back turned to the Fifth Concubine, but she quickly suppressed it.
No... I can't be happy so soon.
To be honest, Lu Xuening hadn't anticipated how things would develop today.
But she did everything right, including the security plan and the guest movement route design, all of which were submitted to the elders for approval before proceeding.
As for whether the plan was modified during the approval process or whether any content that was not originally included was added, that was beyond Lu Xuening's control.
She didn't care; she just carried out the final plan.
Old Master Lu would never admit to making a mistake, so of course he would yell at her.
Although her forehead still hurt, Lu Xuening was in a pretty good mood.
Using the excuse of needing to contact various people to arrange the wedding, she was able to gain 24/7 access to her phone, so she wasn't actually as disconnected from the social circle as she appeared.
At least... she's in Ning Leyi's gossip group.
This was thanks to the fact that she was studying in Ye City, which indirectly allowed her to join.
Unfortunately, I didn't graduate and am currently on leave of absence.
The Lu family has stated that she can only resume her studies after she gets married.
So Lu Xuening had no choice but to keep a low profile and comply, but she never gave up the idea of escaping the Lu family.
Lu Xuening knew exactly who this new sister-in-law was.
She arrived at Ye Wanyin's lounge, where Ye Wanyin was in the middle of a tantrum.
"What shabby clothes! Isn't wearing them once enough? Of course, you have to wear a wedding dress for the ceremony!"
"Exactly! Is the way your Lu family is making this arrangement disrespectful?"
Hua Duoduo stood to the side, hands on her hips, lashing out at the others.
The styling team was hired by the Lu family, so naturally they followed the Lu family's arrangements.
There are a few distant cousins present... Well, although Lu Xuening has a double illegitimate identity, she is still considered a direct descendant of Old Master Lu. There are many others who are even more distant than her, and these people usually depend on the Lu family for survival.
As soon as they saw Lu Xuening enter, they immediately crowded around and started chattering and complaining, implying that Ye Wanyin was difficult to please.
Lu Xuening waved her hand impatiently, and everyone quieted down.
"Sister-in-law, are you dissatisfied with our arrangements?"
She stepped forward and said politely.
Ye Wanyin and Lu Wangqian had already registered their marriage, but the way they addressed each other only changed after the tea ceremony.
"It's you." Ye Wanyin rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Although she is usually very good at putting on a show, on her wedding day... from picking up the bride to serving tea, nothing went smoothly, and at this moment it became difficult for her to maintain her facade.
Ye Wanyin already had a problem with Lu Xuening being in charge of her wedding!
What a joke! Isn't this just saying that in their eyes, Ye Wanyin is practically an illegitimate child?
She is the rightful eldest daughter of the Ye family!
Although Lu Xuening is indeed the granddaughter of Old Master Lu, she is an illegitimate child!
Since Ye Wanyin was going to marry into the Lu family, she naturally followed her professional ethics and checked the Lu family's genealogy and interpersonal relationships.
Lu Wangqian is the direct descendant, and he has no sisters. In other words, in Ye Wanyin's eyes, at the very least, this matter should be handled by Lu Wangqian's direct cousin or someone similar.
Instead of having a son born to a lover of unknown origin, a son whose address is unclear (and who should be called "uncle"), and then having an illegitimate daughter conceived outside the marriage to take responsibility for...
To say that Ye Wanyin has no ability at all would be an overstatement; at the very least, she can sort out the messy interpersonal relationships within the Lu family.
Ye Wanyin was well aware of the Lu family's ways.
But it doesn't matter, since she is Lu Wangqian's legal wife anyway.
Although Lu Wangqian was greasy, at least he didn't show any signs of having a lover. If he really did, Ye Wanyin believed in her methods; ordinary women couldn't beat her.
Of course, it would be best if this marriage didn't last that long...
"How did you arrange this? What exactly does the Lu family mean? What's wrong with Wanwan wearing a white wedding dress?"
Hua Duoduo, a proper young lady who is the only girl in her family, looks down on Lu Xuening. At this moment, she also fiercely accused Lu Xuening.
Logically, it shouldn't be her turn to speak; it should be the Ye family members who speak.
Besides Ye Sanqing and Ye Jin'er, other members of the Ye family who came included Wei Yunmei, Ye Xi, Ye Tian, and... Song Taotao, who is not yet considered a member of the Ye family.
Aside from Ye Tian, probably no one else genuinely wanted to come.
As for Ye Tian himself, he is male, so he definitely wouldn't stay in Ye Wanyin's lounge.
Wei Yunmei and the others only appeared briefly in the morning when the wedding procession started, and they didn't come along the same route as Ye Wanyin.
After all, Ye Wanyin was no longer a member of the Ye family, and Wei Yunmei was only doing this out of consideration for appearances.
Ye Xi certainly wouldn't take responsibility for Ye Wanyin's affairs; she had her reasons for coming here.
Ye Wanyin had other bridesmaids besides Hua Duoduo, but only Hua Duoduo was someone she could talk to.
After all, with the loss of two key generals, Tong Wuyu and An Yueyuan, Ye Wanyin had no one else available for the time being...
“No problem.” Lu Xuening suddenly smiled.
Since things have already gone wrong, let's just go all the way and make it all the way down, since this isn't even her own wedding anyway.
If necessary, it wouldn't matter if her own wedding also went wrong.
Just as Ye Wanyin was about to praise her for her efficient handling of the matter, Lu Xuening added, "But you have to sign a waiver. It states that this is only being done because you insisted."
Ye Wanyin: ...
What a mess!
In fact, during the wedding procession and the tea ceremony, Ye Wanyin could already sense the Lu family's dissatisfaction with her.
Perhaps some of the dissatisfaction was directed at Lu Wangqian, but since Ye Wanyin was his wife, she had to bear it as well.
Sending her distant cousin as her bridesmaid, and having most of the groomsmen look like they have "gangsters" written all over their faces—these are minor issues.
When I served her tea, I gave her an extremely hot teacup... When I stepped over the fire pit, the hem of my clothes almost caught fire... It was all such a mess!
Ye Wanyin suddenly found it funny.
Before she married Lu Wangqian, she never imagined she would be thrust into a domestic power struggle scenario.
