Chapter 423 Who do you say is the son-in-law?

I'm going to the villa to attend a wedding banquet today, so I have to dress up.

When everything was ready, everyone boarded the beautifully decorated carriage.

Lin Wanwan was worried about Zhao Qiaoniang, so she followed them.

Zhao Qiaoniang held Lin Wanwan in her arms. The little girl had a pink face and big, bright eyes.

She was wearing a scarlet jacket embroidered with eight treasures patterns in gold thread, and a fluffy fox fur scarf was gently wrapped around her neck.

The most eye-catching thing is the gold lock hanging on her chest.

The golden lock has an elegant shape, and the edge is engraved with lotus patterns, which is intricate and exquisite.

The jade in the center has a warm texture, is mutton-fat in color, and is transparent and pure.

The jade is engraved with auspicious Ruyi patterns, which complement the rubies and sapphires inlaid around it.

Two round oriental pearls are strung on the red silk ribbon below.

As Lin Wanwan waved her little hand, the golden lock swayed gently, making a crisp and pleasant sound, and her whole body exuded an aura of wealth.

The sun was high in the sky, and guests were crowded in front of the vermilion lacquered gate of the villa. The elegant clothes and graceful figures showed the luxury of this wedding banquet.

Huo Qing was wearing a red brocade robe and a black jade belt around his waist, and was welcoming the guests with a smile on his face.

Seeing Huo Jun and Zhao Qiaoniang approaching, the smile on his face froze instantly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Huo Jun, you still have the nerve to come?"

Huo Jun stood tall and straight. Upon hearing this, he turned his head calmly, his eyes sharp as a torch, looking straight at Huo Qing:

"Didn't you send me the wedding invitation?

If you don’t welcome me, I don’t have to come.”

Huo Qing snorted again, his eyes full of disdain as he glanced back and forth at Zhao Qiaoniang:

"Humph, I thought you married a fairy, but it turned out to be a woman with three children. Are you confused?

I want to see how you will explain this to the old lady in the future."

Anyone who is interested can find out something about Zhao Qiaoniang's life experience. In Huo Qing's opinion, Huo Jun's move is undoubtedly self-destructive.

Huo Jun frowned, stretched out his long arms, and protected Zhao Qiaoniang tightly behind him, and retorted without any hesitation:

"It's none of your business! You should worry more about your own business! I heard you're going to marry Shen Mingyue, I advise you to think twice.

The Shen family is indeed extremely powerful, but are you really willing to be a son-in-law?"

These words were like a sharp knife, instantly piercing Huo Qing's sore spot. His face flushed red, and veins popped out on his forehead: "Who do you say is the son-in-law?"

In the ancient times with strict hierarchy, men attached great importance to dignity, and the identity of a son-in-law was even criticized. Huo Qing naturally could not tolerate such humiliation.

Seeing this, Huo Jun had a mocking smile on his face, and his tone became colder:

"Who doesn't know that Shen Mingyue wants to marry a son-in-law? Princess Duanmin once said that whoever marries Shen Mingyue will be marrying into the Shen family.

Once he becomes a son-in-law, he has to please everyone in the Shen family and be careful with every move.

From now on, can you still stand up straight in front of others?"

Huo Qing sneered, "Now that the old lady knows what you've done here, you should worry about yourself!"

Huo Jun took Zhao Qiaoniang and walked directly into the farm. Looking up, they saw pavilions and towers arranged in an orderly manner, with flying eaves and brackets that were magnificent.

The long corridor connects the various courtyards, which is enough to show the scale of this manor. It is worthy of being the largest manor in the vicinity.

Today, the villa is decorated with lights and colorful lanterns. The big red lanterns sway gently in the breeze, creating a festive atmosphere.

Most of the people who came to the banquet were from the army. Generals in military uniforms gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing.

Huo Jun and others had just stood still in the courtyard when a woman in a royal blue brocade dress walked over.

The woman's eyes were smiling, her makeup was delicate, and her every move was elegant. "Hey, isn't this Huo Jun? You got married, and you didn't even tell us!"

Huo Jun recognized her as General Tang's wife, and immediately smiled and said,

"Sister-in-law! Long time no see.

I didn't expect to meet you here today. You are still as charming as ever!"

Madam Tang covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes fell on Zhao Qiaoniang, praising her endlessly:

"What a beautiful wife you married!

How about this! You men have your own business, and I'll take my sister-in-law and I around the villa to get familiar with the environment."

Upon hearing this, Huo Jun nodded in thanks: "Then I'll have to trouble you, sister-in-law. I hope you can take good care of her."

Mrs. Tang noticed Lin Wanwan in Zhao Qiaoniang's arms, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she jokingly said, "Oh, is this your child? You're really quick. This child is so cute."

Mrs. Tang smiled brightly and pulled out a gold locket from her sleeve. It was intricately engraved with the words "Long Live a Hundred Years" and inlaid with tiny rubies around the edges. It was obvious that it was worth a fortune. "This is a meeting gift from Old Tang and I to the children. I hope the little ones will be safe and live a long life."

Seeing this, Zhao Qiaoniang quickly bowed and thanked her: "Thank you, sister-in-law, this gift is so precious."

"Hey! I really like this girl. I only have two naughty boys at home, and I've always wanted to raise a girl, but I've never been able to conceive." Mrs. Tang looked at Lin Wanwan and said, "How about lending me this girl to hold?"

When Zhao Qiaoniang saw that Mrs. Tang was very fond of Lin Wanwan, her heart warmed and she quickly handed the delicate Lin Wanwan in her arms to her.

Mrs. Tang's eyes lit up instantly, and she took Lin Wanwan with both hands, her movements so gentle as if she was holding a rare treasure.

Lin Wanwan blinked her big watery eyes, looked at Mrs. Tang, raised the corners of her mouth, and said in a baby voice, "Auntie..."

After hearing this, Mrs. Tang smiled so hard that she couldn't stop, and the wrinkles on her face showed joy: "Ah, this little girl has such a sweet mouth. Come, come, auntie will give you some candy later."

After hearing this, Lin Wanwan twisted her little body in Mrs. Tang's arms and let out a crisp laugh.

A group of people were chatting animatedly when they heard whispers from not far away.

Zhao Qiaoniang subconsciously looked up and saw several women in gorgeous clothes gathered together, pointing at her and whispering to each other.

"Have you heard that this woman is Huo Jun's new wife?" A shrill voice sounded first.

"Wow, she's quite pretty!" Another voice said with a hint of envy.

"Tsk, what's the point of being pretty?" A fat woman curled her lips, her face full of disdain: "I heard that she's a divorced woman. I thought Huo Jun could find someone like a fairy, but I didn't expect him to marry a divorced woman. It's really laughable!"

"That's right!" a tall and thin woman next to him echoed:

"Here in our area, every young man from a wealthy family would go through three matchmakers and six betrothals to marry a pure and innocent girl.

Huo Jun is a well-known figure after all, so why did he marry such a woman? Who knows what hidden secrets are behind it! "

"Maybe he was bewitched by this woman's coquettish tactics." The fat woman said sarcastically.
