Chapter 656: Song Lu Picking Up the Bride
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Ziluo finished eating, she went back to the house to look at the gifts that Chu Heng had bought for her. There were a lot of them, and Ye Muyu asked her to organize them herself. She was very energetic.
While Ye Muyu’s family was very calm, things were not going well at the old residence.
The auspicious time had arrived, and Song Lu had also arrived. However, the person acpanying Song Lu was actually his cousin, and not his own brother.
Not only that, they had agreed to use a bridal sedan chair to pick him up, but who knew that there was no bridal sedan chair or even musicians. If not for Song Lu wearing a red wedding robe and bringing a matchmaker with him, it would have been impossible to tell that he was here to pick up the bride.
For a moment, the courtyard of the Chu family was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard. Whether it was the relatives or the villagers who came to congratulate them, they could not help but reveal surprised expressions.
Seeing Song Lu appear, they could not help but feel anxious.
The marriage was too simple.
Was this the treatment of a scholar getting married?
The old people present recalled the time when Chu Heng married Madam Ye.
At that time, Madam Ye was being carried from Dazhu Village to Xingshui Village in a sedan chair, and suonas were playing. It was very lively.
He had not surpassed it all these years.
Originally, everyone was prepared to watch the show again today.
However, they did not expect this situation.
When Madam Liu heard the news, she walked out with an ugly expression. This was a slap to the Chu Clan’s face.
Song Lu walked closer, his face full of shame. He first bowed to the elders of the Chu family.
The original step of stopping the groom was canceled because Song Lu came alone to get married.
Song Lu followed him into the hall to talk.
Instantly, many villagers who were watching the motion outside said a lot of unpleasant words.
Chu Qingxiang, who was in the room, also heard it. Her eyes instantly turned red. She felt very wronged and clenched her fists tightly.
She did not understand why Song Lu would embarrass her like this. This was her wedding day, a once-in-a-lifetime event.
No, it was not Song Lu. It must be the Song family!
Chu Qingxiang clenched her fists tightly, her eyes slowly overflowing with hatred.
In the central room…
Madam Liu’s face was full of fatigue. She looked at Song Lu who was kneeling in front of her. She did not have much patience. She asked directly, ‘What exactly happened?”
“I’m too useless. The sedan chair at home was damaged in an accident yesterday. I can’t carry it over, and we couldn’t manage to borrow one from someone else…
“Tell me the truth!” Madam Liu’s tone was calm, but her attitude was firm.
“My parents are angry and won’t allow it.” Song Lu’s face was full of disappointment. He did not participate in the provincial examination this time, but after settling the Wang family’s matter, he would have a chance to take the examination again in three years.
However, he did not expect that his parents, whom he had always coaxed, would suddenly make things difficult for him before the wedding and even take away all his money.
He was locked up at home. This morning, he was only released because he mentioned the exam.
However, even after he was released, he did not have any extra items to wele the bride. Even the matchmaker had to be secretly found by him, using his reputation as a guarantee.
“Good, very good.” Madam Liu narrowed her eyes.
“How dare your parents!” Madam Zhang was so angry that she cursed.
“My good daughter is marrying you. She’s not even married yet, but they’re already treating her like this. How can she live if she marries you?”
“The reputation of the Chu family will not be insulted by the Song family. I’ll make the necessary arrangements.” Madam Liu’s voice was calm. “You can go and fetch the bride as usual.”
“Thank you, Old Madam.” Song Lu’s mouth was full of bitterness. He had not eaten for the past two days, so he almost fell down when he stood up. Chu Lin reached out to support him before he could stand up..
