Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Huangzhou Prefecture City is decorated with colorful lights, with large red lanterns hanging high, within the City Lord Mansion.

The carriage and horses are already prepared, countless people are watching the adorned Chen Jiusi, mounted on a tall horse, ready to go out to greet the bride.

Countless people are watching the spectacle, the whole scene is bustling with excitement.

Chen Jiusi is wearing festive attire, riding a majestic horse, followed by sturdy warriors selected from the White Tiger Army, and accompanied by a group of seven or eight groomsmen. Among them are Chen Xiaohu, Zhou Chu, Bai Mosheng, and other old friends, all dressed in groomsmen attire and following behind.

In the courtyard behind, preparations for today’s banquet have begun. The feast includes dishes from the four major cuisines of Huai, Lu, Yue, and Yang, with eight renowned chefs, as well as additional chefs specializing in smaller cuisines totaling over a dozen.

These chefs altogether have prepared twenty-eight grand dishes, making the entire scene lively and festive.

Chen Jiusi’s former chief steward, Si Xi, personally came to the courtyard to handle this grand feast.

Si Xi was seen busily moving around in the courtyard, inquiring about the arrangements of various cuisines, and inspecting all the necessary details.

Meanwhile, Su Yunjin was seated in the rear courtyard, staring blankly, appearing somewhat absent-minded.

Huang Wan’er noticed Su Yunjin’s state and said to Ma Xiuying beside her, ”Yunjin sister is just like this, she seems bold and confident usually, but once it comes to crucial times, she tends to become distracted.”

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiuying said, ”Yunjin sister, are you okay?”

Su Yunjin snapped back to reality and said, ”I’m fine, just reminiscing about when I married my husband back in those days.”

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiuying said with a laugh, ”Haha, now that you mention it, it reminds me of some funny moments during my grand wedding with our Chong Ba. He was so silly, just giggling the whole time, thinking about it now is quite amusing.”

Huang Wan’er responded, ”Your Chong Ba brother is quite nice, having only Sister Ma as a wife, unlike my husband, who enjoys flirting around. Even with both of us, it wasn’t enough, he married a Commandery Princess as well. Who knows how many women he might marry in the future.”

Ma Xiuying replied, ”Hehe, men are always fickle. Actually, our Chong Ba has a few small ones too, but it doesn’t matter. As women, we should remember that as long as our men are truly good to us, that’s enough!”

Su Yunjin said, ”Sister Ma is right, when hearts are exchanged sincerely, as long as he is genuine to us, we have no other demands.”

Huang Wan’er listened and said, ”Hearing you two, it turns out to be me who’s being pretentious.”

Ma Xiuying looked at Huang Wan’er and said, ”You are different from Yunjin and me, we both are introverted and don’t express ourselves, while you are adept at expressing yourself and are quite liked by men. However, I still say that the world never demands that a man can only marry one woman in his life. Men like them are destined to have more than one woman.”

”But whether he is truly sincere to you, you should be able to feel it. If he is genuine, shouldn’t we be open rather than shutting ourselves off?”

Huang Wan’er listened to Ma Xiuying and said, ”You and Yunjin both belong to the type of virtuous wives and good mothers, alas, I’m not!”

Listening to Huang Wan’er’s words, Ma Xiuying laughed, ”Hahaha, people like you are even more attractive.”

As the three women were speaking, suddenly a crisp sound was heard, ”Ah, the little lord is awake!”

Upon hearing this, the three turned their heads and saw each of the three small children set in baskets not far away. On the left, the slightly older girl was Chen Jie’s eldest daughter, Chen Luoning.

Then in the two other baskets next to her were two infants still in swaddling clothes. The slightly bigger left one was Su Yunjin’s child, Chen Jie’s legitimate eldest son, Chen Li.

The slightly smaller and skinnier one on the right was Ma Xiuying’s son, Zhu Chongba’s legitimate eldest son, Zhu Biao.

At this moment, both little lords woke up simultaneously and started crying, and seeing them, Chen Luoning, seemingly influenced, also burst into tears.

Immediately, the three mothers rushed over tenderly, picked up their children, and said, ”Oh oh, don’t cry, don’t cry!”

Seeing this scene, one can’t help but say, the crying voices of future heirs of two major forces indeed shake the earth.

The three mothers held their children and chatted, Su Yunjin looked at Ma Xiuying’s son Zhu Biao and said, ”Sister, this child is really adorable, may I hold him?”

Ma Xiuying said, ”Why not? It’s not like he’s a golden baby.”

Saying this, she handed Zhu Biao to Su Yunjin, while Su Yunjin also handed her Chen Li to Ma Xiuying, the two held each other’s baby, enjoying them fondly.

At this moment, little Zhu Biao, somehow having the strength, grabbed Su Yunjin’s button and, with force, pulled the button off.

Seeing this, Ma Xiuying was startled and said, ”Sister, I’m sorry, the child’s hand was quick.”

Su Yunjin responded, ”It’s okay, the child is lively, I like him. Moreover, the little guy even pulled off my button, Sister, I have a thought, not sure if it’s appropriate to say.”

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiuying was puzzled and asked, ”What idea?”

Su Yunjin said, ”There’s a custom in our hometown, if a child pulls off a button from another woman, he should recognize her as his godmother. This way, the woman can shield the child from calamities, and the child can extend blessings for the woman!”

”So I wish to acknowledge this child as my godson, I wonder if Sister would allow it.”
