Chapter 231 Surprise and joy
Seeing that she was not allowed to enter, Second Master Lu's face darkened, he flicked his sleeves, and strode away from her room.

As soon as he left, Wang sneered, why should she bother about his future, and take advantage of his concubines and concubine children?

Anyway, her own son is doing well, and he can have a good future without his father's shadow.

The next day, Tao Yao returned to Tao's house.

She originally wanted to sneak in and give Tao Ling a surprise, but what she didn't expect was that they already knew she was back.

As soon as she stepped into the front yard, several people rushed out and hugged her.

"How do you know I'm back?" Looking at the sisters, Tao Yao was both surprised and delighted.

"Of course it's because Third Sister sent someone to guard outside the city gate, and I knew you were back yesterday." Tao Lian said quickly.

Tao Yao looked at Tao Shu in surprise, "You still sent someone to guard outside the city gate?"

Tao Shu rolled her eyes, "Who told you not to come back for so long?"

"It's been a long time since you came back. Shu'er is afraid that you won't be able to catch up with Third Uncle's marriage and miss her wedding date." Tao Ling glanced at her and answered Tao Yao's question with a smile.

Tao Yao suddenly realized, hugged Tao Shu's hand, and said seriously: "No, even if there is a knife in the sky, I will rush back to attend your wedding."

Tao Shu snorted, "I don't have to ask you to participate, don't be sentimental."

Tao Yao was not angry at all, she always knew that her third sister loves duplicity.

She blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm just being sentimental. If you don't want me to participate, I'm going to participate."

Tao Shu was finally amused, and poked her forehead with her fingers, "You're so thick-skinned!"

At noon, Mrs. Li asked someone to set up a table of dishes, and it happened that Tao Tian and Tao Jingyan also came back, and the whole family had a lively meal together.

Thinking that the uncle was the Minister of Rites, Tao Yao asked one more question, "Uncle, Princess Khitan and the envoys, have you entered the palace to face the saint?"

Tao Tian shook his head, "The emperor is not in the mood to receive him, so he just asked me to entertain him first."

Tao Yao nodded, now that Wan Run is still in a coma, and the prince is involved in the witchcraft incident, the emperor is really not in the mood.

In the afternoon, Tao Yao went to Tao Qian's yard to have a look.

Found that the new house has been furnished.

Compared with the plainness of the mansion gate and the front yard, Tao Qian's yard is decorated with lights and festoons, with red and green everywhere, which is very festive.

Although the matter of Wanrun and the prince should not be too ostentatious, but inside, it can still be well arranged.

Originally, Tao Yao came here and wanted to decorate the house for her father, but now that everything has been done, she didn't bother.

She walked around and then went to Tao Shu's room.

Tao Shu is getting married soon, and she is busy doing embroidery in the house at this time.

In ancient times, when women got married, most of them had to sew wedding dresses, quilts, pillows, and shoes by themselves.

But like the Tao family has an embroiderer, these things can actually be replaced by the embroiderer.

But Tao Shu's own embroidery is very good, so she didn't intend to imitate others, she sewed it all by herself stitch by stitch.

When Tao Yao entered, she was embroidering a wedding gown.

The bright red wedding dress was spread flat on the bed, gorgeous and festive.

The pattern on it is very beautifully embroidered, and the stitches are also very fine.

Tao Shu was kneeling on the footrest, doing the final threading of the wedding dress.

"Third Sister." Tao Yao stepped forward.

"Sit down for a while, I'll finish it right away." Tao Shu looked back at her, and continued with the work in hand.

Seeing this, Tao Yao sat aside and waited quietly for her.

Not long after, Tao Shu put away the thread, put down the needle and thread, sat down on the pedal, and said with a long breath, "It's finally finished."

Tao Yao got up and went over, carefully looking at her wedding dress.

"Third Sister, your embroidery is really good. It is even more exquisite and beautiful than the wedding dress made by the best embroidery house in Beijing. It must be beautiful when you wear it."

After looking at it, she praised.

Tao Shu smiled and said, "You didn't coax me, did you?"

"What are you trying to coax you into? I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask Second Sister and Lian Lian to come over and have a look." Tao Yao said seriously.

Tao Shu heard the words, reached out and touched the wedding dress, with a smile on her face, "I believe you, why not?"

Tao Yao glanced at her, took a box of East Pearls from her sleeve, and handed them to her, "I put this box of beads in my hand, but it's useless. I gave it to Third Sister, so treat it as a gift to Third Sister. wedding present."

Tao Shu opened her eyes and said in surprise, "Why did you give me such a valuable thing?"

"What did the third sister say? We are sisters, don't you deserve valuable things from me?" Tao Yao said pretending to be angry.

Tao Shu was silent for a while, then got up and hugged her, "Thank you, Yaoyao."

Tao Yao patted her on the back, "Why are you being polite? If you don't mind the trouble, can you change into your wedding dress and show me?"

Tao Shu heard the words and nodded, "Of course, I just want to try to see if the wedding dress fits. I still have time now. If it doesn't fit, I can change it again."

So, with Tao Yao's help, Tao Shu changed into the wedding dress she sewed by herself.

It happened that Tao Shu and Tao Lian came over.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw a beautiful lady standing in the room, and the two of them were amazed for a moment, "Shu'er (third sister), you are so beautiful."

Tao Yao also praised: "No wonder people say that the bride is the most beautiful person in the world, and the third sister in her wedding dress is also the most beautiful in the world."

Tao Shu couldn't help laughing, "You are exaggerating." She said so, but she couldn't help but look at herself in the mirror.

"Does the dress still fit?" Tao Ling asked.

"It's just right." Tao Shu nodded, "By the way, Second Sister, aren't you also preparing your wedding dress, how are your preparations going?"

"I'm also going to sew it myself." Tao Ling said with a smile.

"Both of you are good at craftsmanship, but you can prepare by yourself. Lian Lian is just like me, and she doesn't know how to embroider. I'm afraid you will have to be like me in the future. Please ask the embroiderer to sew." Tao Yao said, looked at it and sat down. Tao Lian eating snacks at the side.

Tao Lian paused, "Fourth sister, you are worried about me now, isn't it too early, and I don't have a husband's family yet."

"You will reach the age of Ji this year, and when the second sister gets married, it will be your turn." Tao Yao teased.

Tao Lian instantly felt that the dim sum was not good, "Eldest brother hasn't married a wife yet, I have to wait for the elder brother's marriage to be settled before it will be my turn."

"Not necessarily." Tao Shu said, "I heard my aunt and my mother talk about your marriage a few days ago."

"What?" The dim sum in Tao Lian's hand fell to the table with a "slap".

Tao Ling comforted her, "Shu'er lied to you, why are you so scared?"

"I don't want to get married." Tao Lian cried sadly.

"It's still early, don't worry." Tao Ling continued to comfort her.

After several people talked for a while, Tao Yao looked at the sky outside and saw that it was getting late, so she said goodbye to several people and went back to Duke Lu's mansion.

As soon as she got out of the carriage, she ran into Lu Jiuyuan who had come back from outside, and the two entered the mansion together.

Seeing that there was something wrong with his complexion, after entering the Tingfang Courtyard, Tao Yao asked, "Is there any clue?"

Lu Jiuyuan nodded, "I have already found out who was the one who mentioned the prince's birthday to the emperor that day, but that person has committed suicide."

Tao Yao froze, "Did she commit suicide?"
