Chapter 1597: Chapter 1597: The Bride’s First Return

Guan Shuyan sat on the bridal bed, her face full of shy tenderness, watching Song Ling step out of the new room, her eyes glistening, brimming with joy.

"Miss." Her close maid, Dan Qing, walked over with a smile, saying, "Master has instructed someone to bring some pastries first, so you can have a little bite."

Guan Shuyan shook her head, saying, "I’d rather wait to eat with Master."

"Miss, you’ve hardly eaten anything today, you must be hungry. When Master returns, he might be too busy to eat much." Her loyal nursemaid, also one of her companions, Mama Zhong, walked in with deep meaning, saying, "Better to listen to Dan Qing and have a little bit, otherwise, where will you find the strength."

Understanding the implications of the words, Guan Shuyan blushed.

Another maid, Zhu Sha, walked in, saying, "Miss, I just inquired with Lin Ji, who is close to Master. There are several of Master’s classmates helping with drinks, including that Scholar Fu, so Master might return soon."

Dan Qing raised an eyebrow, "You’ve got familiar with those around Master quickly, were you charmed by all the ’little sister’ talk?"

Zhu Sha spat, "Don’t talk nonsense, he came to tell me himself."

The young ones around Master are mostly unmarried, so they’re naturally more sociable with those around the new Young Madam. After all, if the Master bestows favor in the future, he could arrange marriages for these people. It’s both a benefit and a delightful affair.

Mama Zhong then said, "Alright, save the banter for later. You should inquire who’s in charge inside and outside this courtyard, and make sure the numbers for tomorrow’s family introduction are confirmed. Don’t cause embarrassment."

"Yes."

Guan Shuyan added a line, "Moreover, since I’ve entered the Song Family, I’m a wife of the Song Family. From now on, you should call me Young Madam and leave Master as Master. Otherwise, if someone hears, they’ll laugh at the lack of discipline under my charge."

Everyone grew solemn, nodding in agreement.

Mama Zhong’s eyes showed relief, saying, "It’s good for Miss to think this way. Being a new bride requires caution. I’ll also inform the maids below to change the address."

Relinquishing the chance to be talked about is best avoided.

Guan Shuyan nodded. Just then, a maid brought some food over, and she only had two small buns when Nong Qin announced that the eldest young madam was bringing people over to chat with her.

"Miss, Concubine Wen has also come." Nong Qin whispered.

Guan Shuyan raised an eyebrow, hearing soft voices at the door, she sat back on the bridal bed to wait.

Indeed, Song Ruqian led some people inside. Guan Shuyan quickly scanned and recognized most people, with only a few unfamiliar faces, then showed a shy smile.

"Sister-in-law, everyone said they wanted to see the bride, so we’re here to chat with you." Song Ruqian said with a smile.

Guan Shuyan tried to get up but was stopped by Song Ruqian, who said, "Sit down quickly, you’re the bride today. It’s your auspicious day, there’s no need for you to entertain the female guests until after tomorrow. Then, there will be plenty for you to do around the house."

Guan Shuyan’s face was flush with shyness, she said, "Thank you, elder sister, for understanding."

"Oh, you haven’t even had the recognition tea yet, and you’re already changing how you address." Someone laughed, covering their mouth, "A-Qian, you might have to save on the recognition gift."

Song Ruqian laughed, "This child is so sensible, not only should the recognition gift not be saved, it should be doubled."

"A-Qian has plenty of good things, Young Madam Song has fortunate hands."

Guan Shuyan pursed her lips and smiled lightly.

Wen Zishan saw her looking shy, and said, "Guan Liu, congratulations."
