At this mont, Guan Yunmu, who was sitting nearby, reached out and pulled Yu Wenquan, whispering, "Husband, the ceremony isn’t over yet, you’re being too hasty with your words."
Yu Wenquan laughed heartily, "Alright, continue."
The master of ceremonies then loudly declared, "Bow to each other, husband and wife."
Shang Ruyi slowly turned around, and Yu Wenye beside her also turned towards her. Under the watchful eyes of many guests, they slowly bowed to each other.
The ceremony is complete!
At this mont, Shang Ruyi’s heart started to pound again.
From the mont she left the Shen Mansion, she understood that she was about to embark on a completely different second half of her life. Yet, it was only at this mont that she vaguely felt that she was truly married.
Married to the person in front of her.
The red candles illuminated brightly, and his handso face beca even clearer. Just as Shang Ruyi wanted to see his expression, a voice suddenly sounded beside her—
"Is this my sister-in-law?"
Turning to look, a young boy of about fourteen or fifteen walked over to Guan Yunmu’s side. He was dressed lavishly, and although he was young, he was extraordinarily robust and strong. His tiger-like eyes sparkled with a hint of arrogance, even a domineering glint.
This young boy was the third son of the Yuwen Family, Yu Wencheng.
Guan Yunmu covered his mouth with his hand and coughed softly twice before saying, "Yes, this is your sister-in-law."
Yu Wencheng tilted his chin, sized up Shang Ruyi, and suddenly asked, "Is this the eldest sister-in-law or the second sister-in-law?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall froze.
Shang Ruyi’s expression also changed.
Her broken engagent was known only to the two families, but outsiders were not fools. The Shang Family and the Yuwen Family had arranged a marriage. Now, the eldest young master Yu Wenqian was still unmarried, yet the second brother was marrying first. Adding to this, Yu Wenye was getting married, and yet the elder brother Yu Wenqian was not present—obviously, sothing went wrong with the marriage arrangents.
With one remark, Yu Wencheng revealed it all!
Yu Wenquan imdiately put on a stern face and scolded, "Do not speak nonsense."
The child was not afraid either, rely making a face before being pulled aside by Aunt Hui to play.
anwhile, everyone else in the hall started whispering and turned their gaze to the bride, Shang Ruyi, who felt like pins and needles pricking her back.
Fortunately, the master of ceremonies reacted quickly, imdiately shouting, "The ceremony is complete! Escort the couple to the bridal chamber!"
With this announcent, the surrounding guests all began to clap and laugh, and imdiately, the group of bridesmaids and groomsn stepped forward, escorting the newlyweds towards the bridal chamber.
Along the way, red lanterns lit up high, and joy filled the air.
But because of the earlier scene in the hall, Shang Ruyi’s mood beca heavy, and her steps also felt sluggish, almost tripping on the hem of her dress several tis.
In the midst of her confusion and anxiety, they arrived at the entrance of the bridal chamber.
Soone in the crowd shouted, "The newlyweds enter the bridal chamber!"
Then, soone reached out and pushed the door open.
A gust of wind suddenly blew past them from behind, filling the room before them.
It was a room spacious to the point of excess, with carved beams and painted pillars, decorated with an almost excessive level of refinent. The furnishings, much like those in the other rooms of the villa, appeared very elegant. A landscape ink painting hung on the wall, seemingly not an antique or famous piece, but it depicted a series of layered peaks, concealing countless dangers, showing that its owner harbored deep thoughts.
Shang Ruyi entered the room, dazedly examining everything around her.
At this mont, a few youths behind her called out teasingly, "We won’t disturb you any longer, after all, a night in spring is worth a thousand gold pieces."
With that, they laughed and dispersed.
The last remark made Shang Ruyi’s face flush red, and Yu Wenye had already extended his arms to close the door.
Thence shutting out all the world’s joy, leaving it outside the door.
The bridal chamber suddenly beca quiet.
