The Mei family.
Mei Wanying was the family's only daughter. Her decision to take a husband who would marry into her family was a major event, one that had to be celebrated with great pomp and ceremony.
The groom-to-be was none other than the legitimate son of the Gu family, which meant they had to be even more careful not to slight Gu Xun.
Although time was short, not a single necessary preparation had been overlooked.
The residence was draped in red silk and adorned with double happiness characters everywhere. The joyous atmosphere was palpable.
The Mei family's relatives, their previous wounds healed and the pain forgotten, came to the residence to join in the excitement.
They wanted to see if Gu Xun was truly marrying into the Mei family or just playing along with Mei Wanying's act.
"Ying's last husband only died a few days ago, and now she's bringing a second one into the family. Isn't that against decorum?"
