Liang Youxiao sat down with Daisy.

He also introduced his grandparents and parents.

Daisy’s gifts were mainly for the four of them.

Hence, she smiled and took the gifts from the servant’s hands. She handed them to Old Master Liang and Prince Liang first. “Grandfather, Father, this is my gift to you. If you like it, you will like it.”

She gave the two of them exquisite snuff bottles.

Then, she gave gifts to the Old Madam and the Princess Consort. “Grandmother, Mother, these are the clothes and jewelry I’m giving you. You’ll definitely look beautiful wearing them. ”

The Old Madam and the Princess Consort were at a loss for words when Daisy called them.

They wanted to correct her, but they didn’t know how to do so. After all, she was an important guest from abroad.

They could only wait for Daisy to leave before telling their grandson or son.

The two of them let the maids take the gift and said politely and in an alienated tone, “Thank you!”

The two of them also asked the maids to bring expensive jade bracelets and jewelry to Daisy.

After sitting for a while, it was time to finish eating.

Liang Youxiao wanted Daisy to integrate into his family better, so he invited her to dinner.

Daisy was still not used to using chopsticks when she was eating. Liang Youxiao would pick up food for her and she would eat with a spoon.

The Princess Consort’s face darkened when she saw this. She hadn’t even married him yet, but why was she already being served by her son?

No, she did not agree to let such a foreign woman marry into the family.

Hence, she secretly glared at Liang Youxiao a few times, but he pretended not to see it.

In the family, only Liang Youxiao and Daisy were eating happily. The others were either enjoying the food or watching the show.

After dinner, Liang Youxiao did not send Daisy back to the embassy. Instead, he arranged for her to stay in the guest room in his courtyard.

After sending her back to stay, he returned to the old lady’s courtyard.

Now that Daisy wasn’t here, everyone didn’t have to worry about their words.

The Princess Consort’s face darkened. ‘You’re too much. Who allowed you to get engaged privately?”

“Moreover, she’s nothing now. How can you arrange for her to live in your courtyard? What will others think of you if this gets out?”

She was really angered to death.

“We like each other,” Liang Youxiao said cheekily. “Naturally, we decided to be together.”

“If word gets out, they might only envy me for having such a beautiful foreign wife. What else can they say?”

The Liang Family was speechless. Liang Youxiao was definitely the most thick-skinned person in the family.

The Princess Consort’s face darkened even more. “I don’t agree. I don’t want a wife like this. Look at what she’s wearing. It’s simply immoral.”

“She even gave me and your grandmother a dress like that. It’s outrageous.” After they left, they opened the gifts and took a look.

When she saw the dress that exposed her shoulders and chest, she felt very ashamed.

She couldn’t even wear this kind of clothes at home, let alone outside.

Liang Youxiao shrugged and said with a smile, “I think it looks pretty good! Mother, you can wear it alone for Father to see. With the ruby necklace Daisy gave you, my father will definitely like it.”

The Princess Consort was speechless. What kind of nonsense was this?

Liang Mingcheng was speechless. He suddenly wanted to beat his son to death.

He scolded with a dark face, “B*stard, don’t talk nonsense.”

The people from the other houses wanted to laugh secretly.

Liang Youxiao looked helpless. “Father, Mother, I’m really tired after traveling for so many days. Can you let me rest?”

He had already seen the outside world, so he dealt with his family if he could. If he couldn’t, he would go in one ear and out the other.

This attitude successfully angered Liang Mingcheng and the Princess Consort. “B*stard, you’re getting more and more out of hand.”

Old Master Liang was also speechless. “Do you really want to marry such a woman?”

He really couldn’t bear to see her dressed like that. If he brought her out, where would he put his face?

Liang Youxiao replied, “Yes, I proposed to Daisy in Great Britain. Her family also agreed to our marriage. I have to be responsible for her, right?”

“Besides, it’s not immoral for her to dress like that. All the women in Great Britain dress like that. This is a cultural difference between the East and the West.”

“I don’t care about the differences between the East and the West. You better marry a proper lady from a prestigious family in Imperial City,” Liang Mingcheng said angrily.

Liang Youxiao shook his head decisively. “No, I’ll only marry Daisy.”

“Furthermore, Father, if you want me to marry a woman from a noble family, that is not a marriage but an enmity.”

“Why did you become enemies?” Liang Mingcheng asked curiously.

“You want to marry someone’s daughter into the family and make her a widow?” Liang Youxiao said righteously. “Isn’t that making enemies?” “Besides, if you don’t want me to marry Daisy, then you’re ungrateful.”

“I met pirates when I entered the waters of Great Britain. I almost died at sea, but Daisy saved me with her family’s fleet.”

“I will repay her for saving my life with my body.”

“Father, if you don’t let me marry Daisy, then you’re treacherous villains.”

Liang Mingcheng was furious when he heard this. “Where’s my whip? I’ll whip you to death today.”

This time, Liang Youxiao’s old madam and his wife did not protect him.

However, Liang Youxiao was a playboy in the past. How could he wait for his father to whip him?

As soon as his father found the whip, he turned around and fled.

The next day, Liang Youxiao sent Shi Qingluo a cart full of things.

There were pearls, agate, crystals, jade, snuff bottles, oil paintings from Great Britain, some precious and exquisite gold and silver ornaments, and books.

Many people in the capital were jealous.

They thought that Shi Qingluo had the foresight to see that going out to sea would bring huge profits, so she had prepared supplies for Liang Youxiao both times and asked him to help exchange them.

Looking at the value of the things they exchanged for, it was simply a hundred times more than those materials.

The key was that these things could not be bought even with money in the capital.

She heard that Liang Youxiao wanted to go out to sea back then, and it was Shi Qingluo who instigated him to do so. It was said that her master had gone out before. As expected, with the guidance of the old immortal, it would not be wrong.

It also made more people tempted and set their sights on going out to sea.

As a result, there were people visiting Liang Youxiao every day. Master Liang and the others were both proud and depressed at the same time.

In the end, they did not manage to convince Liang Youxiao and agreed to his marriage with Daisy.

The two of them got married very quickly. They chose a good day a month later.

The wedding was in Chinese style, so Daisy did as the locals did.

The main reason was that the Liang Family could not accept the Western style, so Liang Youxiao gave up.

On the day of the wedding, many people came to see the foreign bride.

This time, Daisy was wearing Liang’s wedding dress instead of her skirt, which disappointed many people who came to watch the show.

It also made the Princess Consort unhappy, and she regretted it even more.

If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have cared about Xiao Baili’s status. She would rather her son marry a woman with a low status than marry a foreign daughter-in-law who was surrounded by everyone like a monkey.

But her son insisted on marrying her, or else he would take Daisy to Great

Britain and never come back.

How could this be?

They had compromised, so now that they were getting married, she could only force a smile and greet the guests.

A month after Liang Youxiao got married, he was ready to set out to sea again.

Not only did Liang Youxiao bring back so many good things, but he also brought back some European technology.

For example, the technologies of shipbuilding, navigation, machinery, and smelting were all higher than Daliang’s.

Because of this, he wanted to continue going out to sea. The Emperor and the ministers of the Ministry of Works were very supportive.

This time, many people wanted to join the voyage plan. The Emperor and Liang Youxiao had discussed it and decided to bring a portion of them out to take a look.

When Liang Youxiao was preparing to go out to sea again, Xiao Hanyi took the initiative to look for his brother, expressing his desire to go out to sea with him to see the world..
