I relied on a system to prolong my life in ancient times.

Chapter 140 Su Kangle's Wedding

Time flew by, and the day of Su Kangle's wedding arrived.

The Xiao family arrived in town early.

Xiao Siyue came to her aunt and looked at her somewhat haggard face, thinking that she must have been exhausted these past few days.

In the past few days, she had heard from home that the Sun family had come to cause trouble several times. Xiao Siyue felt sorry for her aunt. She wondered how many troubles such in-laws would cause in the future.

“Auntie,” Xiao Siyue called out.

When Aunt Xiao saw Xiao Siyue, she forced a smile: "Yue'er, go inside and stay here, it's too messy here."

"It's alright, Auntie, I came out to take a look." Xiao Siyue knew that her aunt was feeling bad, but it was her son's wedding, so even if she didn't want to, she had to face it with a smile.

Xiao Siyue watched her aunt busy herself in the yard, and occasionally helped with whatever she could.

Just as Xia Siyue was finishing up and stopped, she heard someone say that the wedding party had returned.

When Xiao Siyue went outside to look, the first thing that caught her eye was Su Kangle, who was riding a tall horse and dressed in a wedding gown.

However, upon closer inspection, Xiao Siyue noticed that Su Kangle's smile seemed somewhat forced. Xiao Siyue was puzzled; didn't he really like this cousin-in-law? Now that he had married her, why did he still have such an expression?

However, Xiao Siyue quickly understood.

Because there was nothing behind it except a bridal sedan chair.

This means the Sun family didn't give my cousin-in-law a dowry, and the betrothal gifts they brought over were all confiscated; not a single item was brought back.

No wonder. I just wonder how angry and upset my aunt will be when she sees this.

The Sun family really has no shame at all. Even if they're just putting on an act, they should at least bring some betrothal gifts.

I wonder what it was like when Su Kangle went to the Su family to pick up the bride; it must have been quite an ugly scene.

Xiao Siyue had already heard the gossip around her and seen the onlookers pointing and whispering.

Sigh, Xiao Siyue looked at Su Kangle with a sense of disappointment, wondering if she would regret it later.

Xiao Siyue returned to the main hall first, where her aunt and uncle were sitting at the head of the table, waiting for the newlyweds to arrive. The scene outside was still underway.

My aunt's family has really lost face this time, and it will probably be a topic of conversation among their neighbors for a long time to come.

Xiao Siyue was a little worried, wondering if her aunt could hold on, as she had previously fallen ill from anger.

At this moment, Xiao Siyue couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards her cousin, wondering how he could be so love-struck.

Xiao Siyue looked at the Xiao family members again, and they all had ugly expressions on their faces, but they had to pretend to be happy.

Just as Xiao Siyue was lost in thought, the newcomer arrived.

Xiao Siyue specifically looked at her new cousin-in-law, Sun Ni.

Because she was wearing a veil, Xiao Siyue didn't know what the person looked like.

Judging from her figure, she was rather thin, but quite tall, about 1.65 meters or more. Even so, Xiao Siyue felt as if she could be blown away by the wind at any moment.

After the wedding ceremony, the two were taken to their new home.

Xiao Siyue went to see it too. She really wanted to know what this person looked like, the one her cousin was willing to marry despite his family's objections.

To be honest, Xiao Siyue was somewhat disappointed when she saw Su Lekang lift the veil.

It's not that my cousin's wife is particularly ugly, but she's not very pretty either; she just has an average appearance, with slightly delicate features.

Xiao Siyue felt that Su Kangle was not as good-looking as Xiao Siyue, even though Su Kangle was a man.

I don't know what Su Kangle likes about her, maybe she has some good qualities.

Afterwards, at her aunt's instruction, Xiao Siyue brought some food to her new cousin-in-law, Sun Ni, so that she wouldn't go hungry.

Although the eldest aunt didn't like this daughter-in-law, she had already moved into her family and wasn't a bad mother-in-law who was deliberately causing trouble.

Besides, even if you don't like it, you should still think about your son.

Xiao Siyue didn't let her maid follow her; she took a bowl of noodles to her room herself.

"Sister-in-law, this is Siyue. My aunt asked me to bring you some food. Please eat something first, so you don't go hungry."

Sun Ni looked at Xiao Siyue shyly, then whispered, "Thank you, cousin, but my mother said I can't eat it now."

The voice was so soft that Xiao Siyue almost didn't hear it.

"It's alright, cousin-in-law. You must have gone almost a day without eating, and you must be very hungry. Have something to eat," Xiao Siyue continued to persuade, thinking to herself that her cousin-in-law was perhaps a little too timid.

However, Sun Ni still refused, and Xiao Siyue had no choice but to give up.

Carrying the bowl outside, Xiao Siyue told Aunt Xiao what had happened.

"If you don't want to eat, then don't. Yue'er, go play."

After the wedding banquet ended, the Xiao family members hurried home.

After returning home, the eldest aunt finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Somewhat angrily, he said, "The Sun family is really something else; they don't give their daughter any dowry at all."

"Yes, it's one thing if they don't give the dowry, but I heard from the wedding party that when they arrived, the Sun family even tried to keep the bride's wedding dress, which was sent by my eldest sister." Second Aunt was equally angry; she had never seen such a family before.

"Yeah, you didn't see the expressions on the faces of everyone who attended the wedding banquet today. They were all laughing at us. It made me so angry."

"Yes, I've heard a lot of people gossiping behind my back."

The two were still muttering and cursing the Sun family.

Lin Qin quickly and quietly tugged at the two women, saying, "Sister-in-law, please stop talking."

The two stopped talking and followed Lin Qin's gaze, only to see Old Lady Xiao's unpleasant expression.

The two women wanted to slap themselves. How could they forget Old Lady Xiao? Her grandson had married such a daughter-in-law; she must be heartbroken.

Old Mrs. Xiao was truly heartbroken. She was saddened by her daughter's misfortune in having such a family in-law, which had caused her to lose face in front of everyone.

It's even more distressing; my daughter might encounter countless unpleasant things in the future.

But it's too late to say anything now; the person has already been retrieved.

Seeing her grandmother like this, Xiao Siyue could only step forward to comfort her: "Grandma, don't be sad, you have to believe in your aunt."

"But how will your aunt manage from now on?" Old Mrs. Xiao asked, her face full of worry.

“Grandma, if the Sun family really dares to bully Auntie in the future, do you think we, with so many family members on our mother’s side, would be afraid of them?” Xiao Siyue said.

“But those are matters concerning your aunt’s family, and we can’t interfere too much,” Old Mrs. Xiao said with some concern.

"Grandma, what about Uncle and his family? Uncle is a scholar, after all. Can they just let the Sun family cause trouble?" Xiao Siyue knew that Uncle was very concerned about his reputation, and she didn't know why he was so angry about what happened today.

“Your aunt is someone who cares about face, but the Sun family is shameless. If they keep pestering you, your uncle won’t be able to do anything about it.”

"Then let my cousin handle it. If he can't resolve the Sun family issue with the woman he insists on marrying, then we should separate and live separately." Xiao Siyue knew it was inappropriate for her to say this, but if that day really came, it was one of the only two options.

There's one more thing Xiao Siyue didn't mention: the two of them are getting a divorce. But given how much Su Kangle cares for Sun Ni, that's probably impossible.

But that's not necessarily true. If the Sun family keeps demanding money from Sun Ni in the future, even the best relationship might not be able to withstand it.

Especially the ungrateful faces of the Sun family.

Xiao Siyue's words stunned everyone in the Xiao family.

Old Mrs. Xiao gently patted Xia Siyue: "Yue'er, don't talk nonsense."

However, she thought to herself that if things really turned out that way in the future, it wouldn't be so bad, since she was already utterly disappointed in her grandson.

However, I guess her daughter would be reluctant to part with it.

After Xiao Siyue's words, Old Lady Xiao stopped thinking about these things.

In a few days, Xiao Siyue and Lin Qin will be returning to Qianyuan County.
