Chapter 211: Returning Home - Rebirth of the Noble Daughter

Chapter 211: Returning Home


The festive wedding day finally concluded happily in the evening. Liang Gongzi successfully brought his beloved into his home, and the couple spent their wedding night together until dawn. 


When Wei Lanxuan woke up, it was already the hour of the dragon (7-9 am).


Seeing the bright daylight outside, she hurriedly pushed the still-sleeping Liang Gongzi and said, " Liang Gongzi, wake up quickly. We still need to serve tea to father-in-law. We must not delay."


Although her family status was higher than that of the Liang family, she still had to follow the rules after getting married. Liang Gongzi, disturbed by her, gradually woke up.


Seeing Wei Lanxuan’s flushed face, he remembered the events of last night and shyly moved closer to her. “Lan'er, if you're this eager today, it seems I didn’t try hard enough last night.”


Wei Lanxuan was initially stunned, and then when she understood, her face turned red to her ears. She reached out to hit Liang Gongzi. “Husband, you’re so shameless, talking nonsense in broad daylight.”


Seeing her reaction, Liang Gongzi couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, alright, let’s get up. We’ll go serve tea to father now!”


The couple exchanged a smile. The saying “newlyweds are deeply in love” was perfectly displayed in them.


Liang Quanbin, sitting at the top, was full of affection as he watched them serve the new bride's tea. He then handed over the household keys and ledgers to Wei Lanxuan.


“Pan'er’s mother passed away early. I’ve been managing the household alone all these years and there have been times when I couldn’t keep up. The family business hasn’t been doing well either. Now that you’re married into the family, the household is naturally yours to manage. I hope you can take on the responsibility. I’m often not at home, so you don’t need to come to pay respects every day, just on the first and fifteenth of each month.”


Wei Lanxuan felt flattered by his words.


She had known beforehand that she wouldn't have to serve her mother-in-law, but she hadn’t expected her father-in-law to be so understanding. It made her feel a bit guilty.


Liang Luo, beside her, interjected with a smile. “Father is usually strict with us, but he’s very lenient with sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, you must work hard to give father a grandchild soon. If you do, not only will you be in charge of the household, but father and brother will be willing to give you their hearts.”


“What nonsense are you talking about!” Liang Quanbin scolded Liang Luo.


Wei Lanxuan understood a lot from this exchange. “Don’t worry, father-in-law. Now that I’m married, the Liang family is my family. It’s my duty to continue the family line, manage the household, and ease the family’s burdens.”


Hearing her words, Liang Quanbin nodded. Everything else was secondary; this 'easing the family’s burdens' was the main point.


He looked deeply at Liang Gongzi, the meaning clear, and then said suddenly.


“Father, Lan'er, I was so happy yesterday that I forgot to mention it. Grandfather has agreed to help me get a position in the Capital Guards. We should hear back in a day or two.”


This was within Liang Quanbin’s expectations, but it surprised Wei Lanxuan pleasantly.


“What position will you have, husband?”


“I don’t know yet. We’ll see. Initially, it probably won’t be a high position.”


“That’s natural. But as long as you’re diligent, I’m sure your efforts will be recognized.”


Who was in charge didn’t matter; what mattered was that her grandfather saw her husband’s efforts. She thought for a moment and then said to Liang Quanbin, “Don’t worry, father-in-law. When I return to my family, I will speak well of husband to grandfather. Now that the Wei family and Liang family are deeply connected, we must support each other.”


Liang Quanbin felt very pleased with his new daughter-in-law.


Liang Luo, hearing this, was also delighted. If her father and brother could succeed, she would have more support when she married into the Ninth Prince’s household.


She quickly ran to Wei Lanxuan and said, “Sister-in-law, get up quickly. Be careful not to hurt your knees.”


Whether her attitude was genuine or not, Wei Lanxuan was in a good mood to receive the respect and attention from the Liang family.


The day to return to her family came quickly.


The Duke Wei’s mansion had everything prepared early, just waiting for the young lady and her husband to return.


Yue Jian was the most meticulous in her preparations!

These three days without her mistress were the hardest for her. Seeing Ah Li’s increasingly sly looks made her regret her actions, feeling she had ruined her great future. She eagerly awaited her mistress's return to take her away.


A servant boy at the gate saw the Liang family’s carriage approaching and joyfully came to greet them.


“Welcome back, young lady and master.”


His voice was so loud that it could be heard from the second gate. Yue Jian, who was under the covered corridor, ran at once upon hearing it, forgetting that she was pregnant.


Ah Li chased after her, shouting for her to slow down.


Not to mention, his child couldn’t handle such jolting.


Wei Lanxuan, entering, saw her maid running over, eyes brimming with tears, unable to contain her excitement.


“You’re usually the calmest. Why are you like this today? Are you eager to return with me?”


“I’ve never been away from you for so long, my lady. I’ve been wishing every day for your return.”


Wei Lanxuan, seeing her maid’s genuine emotion, was also happy.


Liang Gongzi had recently learned why Yue Jian didn’t come with them and was a bit surprised.


He was about to speak when Ah Li arrived, out of breath. His appearance was ordinary, and his health seemed poor. Liang Gongzi wondered why the well-traveled Yue Jian would fancy him.


Seeing her husband staring at Ah Li, Yue Jian felt embarrassed and stepped forward.


“My lady, the courtyard has your favorite jade bone wine and the kitchen has prepared all your favorite dishes. Please go in; the Duke, old madam, and the young master have been waiting for a long time.”


Yue Jian, having served Wei Lanxuan the longest, knew her tastes well. She smiled and walked forward, patting her shoulder. “Have you packed everything? Will you return with me today?”


“Everything is ready, just waiting for your order.”


“Good, then come back to the Liang mansion with me. You two can have your wedding here and then move to the estate.”


“Yes, my lady.” Yue Jian was visibly excited.


She walked to Wei Lanxuan's left side, returning to her familiar position, feeling as if everything was back to the way it was.


She glanced at Ah Li, who followed cautiously, and felt even more frustrated.


After passing the covered corridor, they reached the front hall where the Duke, old madam, and Wei family eldest son were waiting.


The couple respectfully stepped forward to pay their respects.
