Lin Xuan Qi gave her a smile and Xue Cong frowned at him.

He had made her anxious for the past day.

Xue Cong had thought that he was having some relationship with Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi.

And thankfully, it was all but a misunderstanding.

With the joyous mood in the main hall, Madam Sai covered her mouth with her handkerchief and said, "Thanks everyone for the well wishes for the bride and groom, but today is no other day.

"There is more good news."

Madam Sai walked over to Yue Jie who was seated with Lee He Song beside her.

Yue Jie's heart skipped a beat when Madam Sai came up to her.

"And now, for young mistress Yue Jie." She gave Yue Jie a smile and turned her body over to Lee He Song, "Would elder Lee He Song be willing to let go of Yue Jie, as Master Lin Xuan Qi's concubine.

"What are the dowries you would request for?"

Lee He Song glanced over at Yue Jie, and Yue Jie nodded her head.

He chuckled and replied immediately, "Yes, my old friend Liu Ju Zheng wanted this.

"As for the dowry, we would request three gold, a dowry box and a set of wedding dresses."

"As it should be." Sima Ye nodded and agreed to it.

The concubines typically wouldn't have the same dowry as the bride and Lee He Song requested only the three gold of gold necklace, gold bracelet and gold ring as his compromise.

"That's it then. Congrats to Master Lin and young mistress Yue Jie." Madam Sai smiled and bowed to them.

"Sister, congratulations!" Yue Xin was overjoyed that her wishes had come true.

With a huge grin, she lunged at Yue Jie and gave her a huge hug.

The softness from Yue Jie's bosom reminded her of the difference between them.

But it was not much of a matter for her now.

She glanced at Yue Jie and said, "I only wish that father would be able to see you getting married on that day..."

Yue Jie startled for a moment and nodded.

There was only Lee He Song who could help them with it now.

She glanced over at Lee He Song, and he gave out a sigh.

"I will try my best, Yue Jie."

"Thanks, Uncle Lee." The sisters replied softly, and he started to ponder the possibility.

Liu Ju Zheng was safe in his place, and he might just be able to sneak out with a new identity.

The magistrates and constables in Hong Feng City aren't renowned for being clean and uncorrupted after all.

Amidst the happiness, Yue Jie quickly realized something and she stood up.

She walked over to Xue Cong and said, "Thanks sister Xue Cong. I will help you with the mansion and take care of Master Lin together with you."

Yue Jie knew that she was fortunate to have Xue Cong as the mistress of the household now.

Other concubines wouldn't have it just as easily.

Many wives of the young masters would try their best to let their husbands take in concubines to secure their place in the family.

"I'm happy that it's you too." Xue Cong held Yue Jie's hands and said.

She would rather that it was Yue Jie than anyone else.

"Aiyoh. What a harmonious family. I'm sure many would envy you in Hong Feng City." Madam Sai waved her handkerchief at Lin Xuan Qi and said.

Lin Xuan Qi stood up and cupped his hands to her, "Thanks, Madam Sai, it wouldn't have been done without you."

He turned around to Sima Ye, Sima Long and Zhang Jie, bowed and cupped his hands to them, "Thanks to you too."

Sima Ye, Sima Long and Zhang Jie returned his bow.

"Let's have a toast for the wedding of Master Lin, young mistress Xue Cong and young mistress Yue Jie."

Zhang Jie raised her teacup and warmed up the atmosphere in the main hall further.

The others joined in and raised their teacups.

Lee He Song didn't miss the opportunity to pour himself a cup of wine.

This was the occasion to do so.

Everyone bottomed up and placed their teacups and winecups back down onto the tabletop.

Madam Sai placed her handkerchief back to the side of her shirt and held onto the hands of Xue Cong and Yue Jie.

"If you will excuse me, I have more things to discuss with the brides."

She said and led Xue Cong and Yue Jie away from the main hall.

Lin Xuan Qi wasn't sure what it was about, but Sima Long glanced at him and raised his eyebrows at him.

That gave him some hints on what it was about.

When Zhang Jie saw Sima Long raising his eyebrows at Lin Xuan Qi, she nudged Sima Long with her elbow.

"Don't you dare think about getting a concubine." She said with a sorrowful expression, and she rubbed her belly, "Poor child, you are not born yet, and your father is thinking about naughty things."

Sima Long took a last glance at Lin Xuan Qi with envy and quickly tried to placate the angst of Zhang Jie.

She was extra sensitive nowadays as her belly became bigger.

"Nonsense, I was just hinting to him what Madam Sai was going to teach the brides.

"My brother Lin is innocent and might not be well versed in the matters of Yin and Yang."

"Really?" Zhang Jie glanced at Lin Xuan Qi, not looking too convinced.

It was not possible for young masters not to know.

Unaware of what they were talking about, Lin Xuan Qi came up to them and said, "Since everyone is here, I would have to ask whether there's news about that Lu Ting and the new factories."

"See how serious about business your brother Lin is." Zhang Jie nudged her elbow at Sima Long again.

Comparison indeed is the thief of joy.

Her man didn't seem so bad until he met Lin Xuan Qi.

She would be glad if Sima Long could be half as good as he was.

"But if I talk about business, you'll say that I don't care about you..." Sima Long rubbed his waist and protested.

"Enough." Sima Ye stopped their banter and glanced at Lin Xuan Qi.

He shook his head and said, "The disciples I've sent to gather information failed me.

"She discovered them and I'm afraid that it might not be so easy to do so now."
