Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 569: Marriage, Zheng Cheng and Cao Fangyi tie the knot

They had all met Cao Fangyi. Although she was careless, she had no bad intentions and was a good girl. Both families had no objections, so the wedding date was quickly set, just before the New Year. It was already the New Year, so everyone in the Duke's Mansion was busy.

"Zheng Cheng, getting married is a very important matter, but don't worry, we will definitely help you with everything. Your parents died early, and we have treated you as our own son for so many years. I have discussed with the old ladies and decided that we will adopt you as our adopted son, and you and Shuhua will be brother and sister in the future, so you can take care of each other if anything happens." Old Duke Chen had this idea a long time ago, but because of Zheng Cheng's feelings for Shuhua, he had never spoken up. Now that the two children have talked about it and Zheng Cheng is going to get married again, he expressed this idea that he had kept in his heart for many years.

"Okay, that's what I meant. Over the years, I've been grateful for your care. Father and mother, please accept my son's greetings." Zheng Cheng knelt down and kowtowed to them, and the matter was settled.

"Get up quickly! From now on we are a real family." Duke Chen and his wife happily helped him up.

"Brother!" Chen Shuhua also let go of the past and shouted with a smile.

"Uncle!" The brothers and sisters spoke in unison.

"Okay, okay." Zheng Cheng was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

Before the New Year, everyone was helping with Zheng Cheng's marriage. On this day, Yao Qingmian was helping in the yard when Cao Fangyi suddenly came over.

"Qing Nian, what are you busy with?"

"Oh, aunt! How can you come to the man's side before the wedding! Go back quickly!" Madam Chen's nanny saw it and hurried over to ask her to go back.

"Why can't you come over? Zheng Cheng is going to be my man soon. I'll come over to see him and play with Qing Nian at the same time." Cao Fangyi said casually.

"Before getting married, the man and woman cannot meet each other. This is against the rules!"

"Rules are made by people. What's the big deal? I come here whenever I want. There's no need to make so many comments."

When the nanny heard her words, she felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Okay, Madam, follow Miss Cao. It's okay." Yao Qingnian motioned for the madam to go down, and then said to Cao Fangyi beside her: "Miss Cao, no, I should call you aunt. How come you have time to come here? As a bride, shouldn't you have a lot of things waiting for you?"

"Aunt? Why do I feel a lot older when you call me that? But there's nothing I can do, because I've fallen for this old man, Zheng Cheng! Don't mention getting married, there are so many formalities, it gives me a headache, so I've left everything to my parents. I came out to be lazy, and when I passed by here, I came in to see what Zheng Cheng was doing." Cao Fangyi sat next to Yao Qingnian with her chin in her hand.

"Uncle Zheng Cheng is busy. Can I go and call him for you?"

"No need. Isn't it against etiquette to meet before getting married? I'll just sit for a while and then leave." When she mentioned Zheng Cheng, she felt a little embarrassed again.

"Haha, you just said that rules are made by people! You are a woman who says one thing and means another." Yao Qingnian joked from the side.

"I was just talking casually. Well, it's getting late, so I'll go back first." Cao Fangyi heard her teasing her, so she sat for a while and then left.

Soon it was the day of Zheng Cheng's wedding, and all the people in the Duke's Mansion were called over to help. Old Duke Chen and Old Madam Chen dressed up smartly to welcome and entertain the guests.

After a while, Zheng Cheng came back from picking up the bride. The auspicious time had arrived. With the help of the matchmaker, the bride and groom entered the house to pay homage to heaven and earth. Zheng Cheng was also very happy. After going through the wedding procedures, the marriage was finally completed. Zheng Cheng and Cao Fangyi were happily married and would be husband and wife from now on.

Because Zheng Cheng was a little older, this marriage attracted a lot of gossip.

"General Zheng Cheng is already over 40, and Miss Cao is only in her 30s. Isn't this a case of an old cow eating young grass?"

"You can do it if you have the ability!"

"I heard that Miss Cao is a tigress, very fierce, and only General Zheng Cheng can subdue her."

"Those two are just right for each other, a tigress and an old bachelor, a perfect match, haha!"

Several men sat together, talking in low voices.

"What did you say? Speak louder!" A female voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"I...we didn't say anything." Several people looked at each other. Shouldn't Cao Fangyi be in the bridal chamber? Why did she appear here? Then she must have heard everything they said just now.

It turned out that Cao Fangyi was bored staying in the house and no one was talking to her. She was hungry, so she quietly ran out, planning to find something to eat before going back.

When she arrived at the front yard and saw so many guests, she was afraid of being seen, so she found an inconspicuous corner seat and planned to try out whether her meal was delicious. Unexpectedly, just as she was about to eat something, she heard several people not far away saying bad things about her and Zheng Cheng. So she couldn't bear it anymore and dropped her chopsticks, walked behind them and stood for a long time.

"Then why did I hear you guys calling me a tigress?! My husband is an old bachelor, huh?"

"You heard wrong, Mrs. Zheng, we really didn't say that." Cao Fangyi was known for her toughness, and the few of them combined were no match for her. The men looked at each other and prepared to leave.

"Stop! Did I let you go? It's fine if you say bad things about me, but you actually slandered my husband. Go and apologize to my husband!"

"Mrs. Zheng, we drank a few too many glasses and spoke without restraint. We're sorry!" Seeing Cao Fangyi's expression, several people knew that they couldn't beat her. Besides, there were so many people here today, and it would not be good for them if the matter got out of hand, so they hurriedly bowed their heads to apologize.

"Since today is my wedding day, I'll let it go. If I hear you again next time, I'll beat you until you cry for your parents. Get out of here!"

"Yes, yes, we will never dare to do it again!" After saying this, several people left as if they were escaping.

The noise on their side attracted Zheng Cheng's attention. He walked over and just happened to hear Cao Fangyi's words about protecting her husband. He stood there in a daze for a moment.

It wasn't until he heard Cao Fangyi calling him that he came back to his senses: "Miss Cao, why are you here?"

"What did you call me?" Cao Fangyi said with an unhappy look on her face.

"Call... Madam, I couldn't change my words for a moment. Haha, aren't you in the bridal chamber? What happened just now?" Zheng Cheng said somewhat embarrassedly, almost forgetting that they were already married.
