On the day of the poetry meeting, Shu Yu didn't go with them; she was helping the old lady prepare for Ying Dong and Hua Xian's wedding.
After the couple expressed their feelings to each other, the old lady wanted to host their wedding.
However, their situation was special. Hua Xian was sold by her parents to raise grain when she was seven or eight years old, and since then, she had worked as a maid in several households. Her hometown was hundreds of kilometers away, and contact had long been lost. Even if they knew where her parents lived, it wouldn't be possible to notify them.
So, to sum it up, she didn't have any family here. The people she was most familiar with were all from the Lu family.
As for Ying Dong, he did have a sister.
But she was his only blood relative.
However, he still had Meng Yunzheng as a childhood friend, Uncle Meng as a caring elder, and Uncle Yan as a half-master who taught him martial arts.
For his wedding, he certainly couldn't leave them out.
