555 Bullying Children (2)
Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. “Didn’t we come right on time?”
From the bridal escort to the entrance, she had seen the entire wedding without missing a single detail.
Xiao Ruoshui choked. That seemed to be the case!
She wanted to say something else, but Shen Yijia held her face and turned her head back. “Watch and learn. Don’t make a fool of yourself when it’s your turn to get married.”
Song Jingchen’s eyes flashed. “You should learn well.”
“It’s not the first time I’ve seen someone pay their respects. How much could I learn?” Xiao Ruoshui muttered. She noticed that Shen Yijia was looking at the hall without blinking. Her face was filled with curiosity. She pursed her lips and said, “It’s not like you haven’t been married before. Why…”
Halfway through her sentence, Xiao Ruoshui thought of what had happened during the Song family’s wedding and shut her mouth awkwardly.
Shen Yijia did not think too much about it. She would not say that the person at that time was not her.
She had never experienced this before.
“One bow to heaven and earth.”
“Second bow to the ancestral hall!”
“Next, the wedded couple shall bow to each other…”
“The ceremony is complete. Please enter the bridal chamber.”
With that, the two of them were sent to the bridal chamber by the guests.
The new house was in the Splendid Courtyard. Apart from the main courtyard, it was the best courtyard in the general’s residence.
Because of her guilt towards Yuan Yuwan and her love for her, Madam Xiao even specially got someone to renovate it.
They sat down and scattered the tents. In the end, the groom lifted the veil.
Yuan Yuwan had not appeared in public for many years because she was mourning. Even when she went out, she was dressed plainly. Today was an eye-opener.
She had exquisite makeup on her face, and her wedding dress made her look even more beautiful than usual.
She had bright eyes and white teeth. She smiled sweetly.
Amidst everyone’s exclamations, Yuan Yuwan lowered her head and pretended to be shy. However, Xiao Qirui’s heart was filled with bitterness.
She did not even look at him just now.
Although Yuan Yuwan had never said anything about what he had done or even complained about it, Xiao Qirui understood what she meant at this moment.
He gave her a place to stay, and she let him “get his wish.”
After the ceremony, the onlookers were chased out and the two of them sat quietly on the wedding bed.
“You…” Xiao Qirui wanted to ask something, but he only said three words. “Are you hungry?”
Yuan Yuwan shook her head. “I’m not hungry.”
“I have You Bai here to serve me. Young General, go and do your work.” Yuan Yuwan could tell that he was uncomfortable and kindly helped him out.
Xiao Qirui glanced at her and finally nodded. “If you’re tired, rest for a while.”
He stood up and noticed the hair that the bridesmaid had placed aside. For some reason, he walked over and picked it up. He said, “I’ll get someone to bring you food. Eat something before resting.”
“Thank you.” Yuan Yuwan thanked him with a smile.
The atmosphere was a little stiff.
Xiao Qirui was a clumsy speaker to begin with. Coupled with the fact that he had guessed her thoughts, he didn’t know what to say to ease the situation.
Was he supposed to explain? Tell her that he was only grateful to Feng Manman?
But didn’t she know all this?
Coincidentally, Xiao Li’s voice came from outside the door, saying that he had been urged again.
Xiao Qirui could only push the door open and leave. He also took away the strand of hair that the two of them had tied together.
Yuan Yuwan didn’t mind. She asked You Bai to help her take off the hairpin and remove her makeup.
“If you don’t like Miss Feng, avoid her. Don’t do what you did today. She doesn’t owe us anything.” Yuan Yuwan didn’t forget how You Bai spat at the bridal sedan chair.
“Miss, she…” You Bai wanted to refute.
Yuan Yuwan sighed. “She saved the Young General, and the Young General has given us a place to stay. On account of the Young General, we should be polite to her.”
“You have to be content.”
You Bai bit her lower lip and remained silent.
She felt that the Young General had feelings for her young lady. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so protective of her in the Yuan family today. He even let her young lady’s sedan chair go first.
If Miss fought for it, she would definitely not lose to Feng Manman.
“From today onwards, I’m the wife of the Xiao family. Protecting me is equivalent to protecting the face of the Xiao family. As for letting my palanquin go first, this is proper etiquette,” Yuan Yuwan explained, seeing through her thoughts.
If she thought like You Bai, she would probably have to spend the rest of her life twisted with jealousy.
You Bai felt that something was wrong, but she could not find a way to refute her. She could only agree silently.
Yuan Yuwan did not say anything else. Seeing that it was still early, she was about to ask her to find a book for her to pass the time when Xiao Ruoshui pulled Shen Yijia in.
