Some people thought Pei Yan was supporting Xue Xingyao because of Chen Shujing.
The two were good friends, so it was only natural for Chen Shujing to ask Prince Chen for help in bolstering the reputation of his soon-to-be wife.
Others believed he did it for Mei Wanying's sake.
Whatever the reason, Xue Xingyao was given ample prestige. Even without Duke Xue present, her wedding was a grand affair.
Mrs. Xue finally felt at ease and silently noted her gratitude toward Mei Wanying.
Others might not have understood the situation, but she knew a bit of the inside story.
Ah Yao had let it slip that Prince Chen seemed to have come to his senses and was starting to show genuine interest in Mei.
If the Prince hadn't come to show his support, Ah Yao would have lost all face today. The Chen Family would have felt slighted and would surely have become dissatisfied with Ah Yao.
Fortunately, the wedding concluded perfectly.
