Chu Lian had driven the carriage himself and soon arrived at the entrance of Wang Mansion. His current mood could be described as excited because he hadn’t seen her for nearly a month, and he missed her dearly.
He quickly got down from the carriage and knocked on the grand door of Wang Mansion.
A mont later, the grand door opened, and Chu Lian anxiously asked, "Is your young mistress at ho?"
The house servant who opened the door recognized Chu Lian and said, "Are you the eldest young master of the Chu Family? Our young mistress is not at ho; she’s currently in Yang Family Village waiting to be married."
Hearing the house servant’s words, Chu Lian’s eyes widened. He felt like he was hearing things. What did he just say? Waiting to be married? To whom was she marrying?
"What did you say? I didn’t hear it clearly, could you please say it again?" he asked.
"I said our young mistress is currently in Yang Family Village waiting to be married."
This ti Chu Lian had heard correctly. He had said waiting to be married. He grabbed the front of the house servant’s garnt in a rush and growled, "She’s getting married? To whom is she getting married?"
"Ah, Master Chu, let go of ," the house servant hurriedly shouted.
Chu Lian then realized he was being too impolite and released his grip, "I’m sorry, whom is your young mistress marrying?"
"Our young mistress is getting married tomorrow to the Han Family from Yongan Fish Pond in Lin County."
At that mont, Chu Lian’s head buzzed. The Han Family? Was it that Han Yongsheng who always flirted with Xiangxiang?
With the news, Chu Lian quickly got on the carriage, his heart aching imnsely. He couldn’t understand what had happened in this month?
Before leaving, they had agreed, waiting for his return, but now why was it ending like this?
Chu Lian kept whipping the horse as he sped toward Yang Family Village.
At that ti, the Yang Family courtyard was bustling with activity because they were hosting a grand banquet inside the courtyard, which lasted all day, attracting almost all the n, won, old, and young from the village.
The people of the sa age as Old Man Yang spoke while eating, "Old Yang the Second, you’re blessed to have recognized such a fine daughter."
Old Man Yang laughed, "Haha, indeed, even in my old age, I’ve gained such a good son and daughter."
The people in the courtyard were complinting Old Man Yang, making him sowhat tipsy.
Inside the house
Wang Xiangxiang looked at the dowry and wedding gown that the Yang Family had prepared for her and felt indescribably moved. She looked around at the won in the room and said, "Thank you, mother, thank you everyone for preparing all this for ."
In fact, she had wanted to marry simply, just not wanting to be alone in Wang Mansion, but she had not expected the Yang Family to take it so seriously, going as far as hosting a grand banquet and preparing a dowry.
"Thank you for what, it’s my first ti marrying off a daughter, I’m happy," Yang Ming’s mother laughed as she spoke, then rembered sothing, "Daughter, there are so things about getting married you might not understand, let explain..."
Afterward, Yang Ming’s mother, in front of everyone, gave Wang Xiangxiang a lesson primarily about the marriage bed, which made Wang Xiangxiang blush and keep her head down, yet her heart felt warm knowing her mother was discussing this because she was getting married.
The other few people in the room also felt embarrassed, and Old Yang’s daughter-in-law even said, "Mother, we are all in the room, and you’re discussing this?"
"What’s the matter, you’re not maidens anymore, why be shy?"
"..." A few daughter-in-laws were speechless; their mother was never so open before.
The few continued chatting about the marriage inside the house when suddenly a male voice broke the cheerful atmosphere, "Xiangxiang."
