Chapter 440: Feast
Cui Yudie attached the most importance to her appearance. After being humiliated by the man next to her, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she could not sit still. She immediately hurried back with her men in anger.

Cheng Dongjiang sighed, "What a misfortune for our family! Jiaojiao, your mother is a rude person, you better take care of yourself!"

Cheng Jiaojiao was scolded for no reason and her face fell instantly.

Aunt Sun followed Cheng Dongjiang into Yishou Hall, still looking frightened, "Master, why is my sister becoming more and more... abnormal?"

Although Cui Yudie used to be arrogant, conceited and profit-driven, she would not be so out of touch.

Cheng Dongjiang covered his throbbing temple and said, "Maybe she was too upset yesterday and hasn't recovered yet today. Let her be. The chef of Yongtai Restaurant will bring the ingredients to our house soon. I don't trust Cui's character. I'll leave this matter to you. If you have any questions, report to mother directly and she will make the decision."

He handed the menu to Old Lady Cheng and Aunt Sun and read it to them several times.

Although the two were illiterate, they had their own unique way of memorizing and quickly memorized the menu.

As soon as Cheng Dongjiang left, Aunt Sun immediately took Old Madam Cheng to the kitchen to wait for the people from Yongtai Restaurant to come.

This side of the front yard.

Cui Yudie finally dressed herself up to meet people, but Cheng Dongjiang looked down on her again, "You look so unhappy on such a happy day, someone who doesn't know would think you don't like the princess!"

Cui Yudie was furious. "You disliked me when I put on makeup, and you still think it's unlucky when I'm done. Why? Do you dislike me because I'm old and ugly now?"

"I'm talking to you nicely, why are you making a fuss?" Cheng Dongjiang was speechless. In order not to continue to dwell on this topic, he asked, "Is there anyone from the Cui family coming over today?"

Cui Yudie's face became even uglier when she talked about this matter. She said angrily: "It doesn't matter if they come or not, I don't care!"

That day, Cui Boyuan broke off the relationship with her in front of so many people, and even went to the government office to sign a document and get it stamped. From that day on, in the eyes of outsiders, she was no longer a member of the Cui family.

If the Cui family hadn't been so heartless, she wouldn't have had to make such a fuss!
The more Cui Yudie thought about it, the angrier she became, and she didn't want to bother with Cheng Dongjiang anymore.

Before the auspicious time arrived, guests had already arrived one after another. Some of them were ladies and young ladies who had just met Cui Yudie yesterday. It had only been a day, and Cui Yudie looked so bad that everyone would mutter a few words in their hearts and then send someone to inquire secretly.

The wedding party hasn't returned yet, but the Cheng family's troubles have already spread.

Cui Yudie was busy greeting guests and didn't notice it.

Inside the inn.

Wei Guangxian stared at the people of the Wuya tribe pulling the Xuanwu Ding slowly out of the warehouse. As the ox cart moved, everyone's heart was excited. After today, the Xuanwu Ding would belong to their Qi State! No longer had to look at the Wuya envoy's face in frustration.

Everyone's focus was on the Xuanwu Cauldron, and no one was willing to even take a second look at the other princesses' dowries.

Princess Uya's dowry left the house first, followed by the imperial guards.

When Princess Uya got into the bridal sedan, there were only a few people left by her side. She was so angry that she almost lifted her veil on the spot.

The ceremonial officer tried his best to persuade her for a long time before he finally got her into the bridal sedan.

However, as soon as the sedan chair arrived at Cheng Mansion, something went wrong. She was stuck a hundred meters away from the gate of Cheng Mansion and could not move in even an inch.

"What's going on?" The angry Princess Uya lifted her veil and looked at the sedan bearers outside with fiery eyes.

The sedan bearer replied weakly: "Princess, your dowry Xuanwu Ding is too big, and the gate of Cheng's house is too small, it can't enter!" Princess Wuya: "." It's a joke that such a small family dared to dream of marrying her!
"Go! Tell the people in Cheng Mansion to reopen the door. If my dowry can't come in, I won't get married!" Princess Wuya said angrily.

The maid was so frightened that she hurried out to pass on the message, but she did not dare to mention the words that the princess would not marry.

No one knew how the maid frightened the Cheng family, but they immediately called a few carpenters to come and saw off the partition between the main door and the side door, performing a wedding door-removing show for the guests. This made the knowledgeable dignitaries stare wide-eyed and marvel.

As soon as the Xuanwu Ding entered the Cheng Mansion, the bridal sedan was carried directly into the mansion.

Princess Uya and her bridal sedan passed through the fire basin. It was the first time for everyone to see such a strange way of entering the house. They felt a sense of inexplicable anticipation in their hearts, and they didn't know what was going on.

The bridal sedan was carried into the hall. Cheng Hong cleared his throat and extended his hand in a pretentious manner, "Princess, please get off the sedan."

There was no movement in the sedan chair.

Inside the hall, everyone's faces looked a little strange.

Cheng Hong's face froze. He took a deep breath and continued to speak. This time his voice was a little more pleading. "Princess, if you have any requests, just tell me. I will do whatever I can for you."

"Really?" The person in the sedan finally spoke.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Princess Wuya said slowly, "Then just send me to the bridal chamber. I'm tired and want to rest."

Cheng Hong frowned in dissatisfaction, but did not dare to show it. He just looked at the ceremonial officer for help.

The ceremonial officer had no choice but to step forward and advise, "Princess, according to the rules of Qi, you cannot hold the wedding ceremony. It is not proper and will put you in an awkward position in the Cheng Mansion in the future, and it will not benefit you."

"It's so annoying! You're the only one who troubles me so much!" Princess Wuya scolded in a bad tone, suddenly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and stood out.

The ceremonial officer ignored the unpleasant expressions of the Cheng family and shouted, "The princess and her husband are here to pay their respects!"

The wedding ceremony ended abruptly because of Princess Uya's perfunctory attitude.

Cui Yudie was slapped in the face, and the smile she had managed to maintain finally faltered and fell into a gloomy state.

Cheng Jiaojiao whispered, "Mother, calm down! Think about the Xuanwu Cauldron!"

Cui Yudie slowly closed her eyes. For the sake of the Xuanwu Cauldron, she endured!

The princess and her husband entered the bridal chamber and the banquet began.

Cheng Jiaojiao said excitedly: "Mother, let's go! Let's go out and eat and see what this 750 tael banquet looks like. If the other party dares to fool us..."

Cui Yudie understood immediately and followed her daughter out immediately. She sat down under the pretext of entertaining guests and did not move.

As the dishes came up one by one, she was also observing the guests' reactions. The first few dishes were pretty standard, just ordinary meat dishes, and it seemed that those distinguished guests hardly picked up their chopsticks.

Cui Yudie wanted to explode immediately, but was suppressed by Cheng Jiaojiao.

Soon, a dish of braised sea cucumber with scallions was served. Almost all the guests started eating, not to mention Cui Yudie and Cheng Jiaojiao. They would never let themselves get away with it. They took a bite and paid attention to the reactions of others. Then they heard the lady next to them say, "Madam Cheng, you must have invited the chef from Yongtai Restaurant! This braised sea cucumber with scallions tastes exactly the same as theirs."

Cui Yudie was a little embarrassed. She had even forgotten to ask Cheng Dongjiang which chef he had hired. How could she respond now? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if it wasn't the chef?
Just as she was hesitating, another lady spoke up, "It must be the chef from Yongtai Restaurant. I've eaten there many times, there's no doubt about it!"
