The next person to voice an opinion was the elder in charge of alchemy in Yaodu. "But still, you two have only met each other one month ago, don't you think it too soon to get married?"
"There are people that don't even know what their marriage partner looks like until the night of the wedding." Shen Tianyu countered. "This matter is already settled and the preparations are being finished as we speak. There's no need to think too much about it. It shouldn't affect our coffers too much so you don't need to worry about that end either."
"What are you talking about, Xiao Tian? That was never one of our worries at all! We were just worried whether he would truly treat you well after your marriage." The elder in charge of the growing medical faction within Yaodu responded with slight affront.
"If that's your worry, then you can only wait and see. No one can be sure of what happens in the future after all. There's no need to judge someone right off the bat for such a matter that lasts for a long time." Shen Tianyu tilted her head.
"I swear on my life that I will never make Tian'er unhappy or make her feel slighted. I never intended to marry more than one woman in my life before and I never intend to in the future." Rong Jian spoke the most words this time since he entered the room but his eyes were brimming with determination.
After that, the attitude of the elders towards Rong Jian seemed to mellow out and everyone was able to, somewhat amicably, discuss the upcoming events. The elders will be staying for another month at the very least, to prepare for the visit home. The tradition for that was still the same as Xuan Lingwen's world, Shen Tianyu's old world. The bride would visit her maternal home with her husband one month after her marriage. The reason was to visit her family, of course, but it was also an opportunity for her family to see if she was being treated well by her husband. The bride would usually wear new clothes and accessories newly given by her husband as a signifier that she was loved, or favored to some degree. However, this tradition is usually only for the main wife and the consorts' and concubines' visits were given much less importance.
"Father, this is Bai Yaoxuan, my... sworn sister. She's also living in my courtyard, due to some circumstances with her parents. Yaoyao, this is Muo Jeng, my Master and adoptive father." Shen Tianyu acquainted themselves with each other.
"Ah, so you are Ling- Tiantian's adoptive father. It is my honor to meet the father of such a talented young lady." Bai Yaoxuan curtsied politely.
"Hahaha. This young girl has a sweet mouth[1] on her! It is also my honor to meet a lady that can earn Xiao Tian's trust in such a short time!" Muo Jeng cupped his fists casually while chuckling proudly. His attitude towards Bai Yaoxuan was obviously much more friendly than with Rong Jian but the younger man didn't seem to put it in his eyes.
"Alright, alright. I'm going to assign you to a courtyard nearby so come on." Shen Tianyu clapped her hands to get the attention of her father. "Ah-Jian, are you going to come with us?" Shen Tianyu then turned to Rong Jian and asked if he was going to follow them.
"No need. I'll let you guys have some time to yourselves. Just tell me which courtyard your father chooses and I'll send some servants over to help clean it and tend to his needs." Rong Jian patted her on the shoulder and left with that.
"In that case, I'll..." Bai Yaixuan was already turning around to leave when Muo Jend stopped her.
"No need to feel like you're intruding, you are Xiao Tian's sister so naturally you are also my daughter by association. There's no need to feel shy around family, and it gives us more time to learn more about each other." Muo Jeng reasoned with her to make her stay. Bai Yaoxuan looked at Shen Tianyu with an awkward expression but received a small smile and nod instead.
"...Alright, is that is what Master Muo wishes." Bai Yaoxuan already knew from the beginning that the two father and daughter were not biologically related so she couldn't use blood as an excuse.
"Now, now. Don't be so distant, just call me 'Father' like Xiao Tian does." Muo Jeng replied with a smile.
"... Father..." Bai Yaoxuan lowered her head and whispered with red reaching up to her ears. This caused Muo Jeng to laugh out loud again and Shen Tianyu to smile.
"Alright, I'll take you on a small tour around the Wangfu to the places I'm familiar with and you can choose a courtyard in a nearby area." Shen Tianyu walked up to Bai Yaoxuan and tugged gently on her arm to signify that they were moving.
