Today is the wedding day of Chu Zhan and Qu Ling.
Chu Qing was originally supposed to stay in the Chu Mansion waiting for the bride to arrive. However, the night before, she was lured by the sisters Yue Qing and Yue Mei to the Qu Mansion.
Speaking of the Qu Mansion...
It was only moved to Yongcheng by Qu Ling in the past six months.
When Chu Qing saw that the long - abandoned mansion around the corner of the Chu Mansion, which was as magnificent as the imperial palace, had been bought, she was quite curious and discussed with Wei Ying who else in the Great Yan Dynasty, besides their Chu family, could be so wealthy.
It was not until she saw the plaque engraved with "Qu Mansion" hanging up that she shook her head with a half - amused smile.
At this moment, when Chu Qing stood in front of Qu Ling, there was a hint of annoyance on her face.
Qu Ling didn't understand why Chu Qing looked unhappy. Frowning, she took the lead and said, "Qing'er, why do you look so unhappy? I... will get married tomorrow... Don't you want to see me off on my wedding day?"
Seeing Qu Ling like this, Chu Qing sighed, reached out and gently pinched the soft flesh on Qu Ling's cheek, and slowly said, "I'm already married. According to the rules, I shouldn't be the one to see you off. Moreover... I'm a member of the Chu family."
Even though Chu Qing didn't care much about such customs, she still had to think comprehensively for Qu Ling and her stupid elder brother.
She was used to worrying about such things.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Qu Ling gave her a cold look and said, "It's not like if you see me off, you'll no longer be a member of the Chu family."
Chu Qing rubbed her temples and continued, "You silly girl, I'm afraid it'll bring bad luck to you and my brother."
"You're always acting like an old person. What bad luck could there be! It's not like Zhan and I will have any problems because of this!" Qu Ling pouted.
Seeing Qu Ling so insistent, Chu Qing had no choice but to pat her on the shoulder and said, "Alright, alright. Since you don't mind, I'll see you off. But... what about me after I see you off? The sedan chair will only carry you into our Chu Mansion."
Qu Ling's expression froze instantly. "Um... This... I really... didn't think about it..."
Seeing her like this, Chu Qing shook her head helplessly with a smile. "Moreover, I must witness your wedding ceremony with my brother in person."
"Then..." Qu Ling bit her lower lip and said reluctantly, "Will you go back then?"
"I'll wait for you in the Chu Mansion tomorrow." Chu Qing comforted her by stroking her head, and then continued, "I brought something for you and gave it to your maid. You can open it tomorrow night."
Chu Qing's tone was very natural, so Qu Ling agreed without thinking much.
After that, thinking that Qu Ling should rest early, Chu Qing simply gave her a few words of advice and then left.
...
Once people have something to look forward to, time seems to pass extremely slowly.
On this long night, which should have been dead silent, the Chu Mansion was brightly lit until dawn.
As soon as the darkness faded, everyone in the Chu Mansion started to get busy. After Chu Qing got dressed, she went to help Qin Zhao with various things.
The whole day was filled with excitement. It was not until evening approached that after paying respects to the ancestors, Chu Zhan went out to welcome the bride.
The word "wedding" originally meant to hold the ceremony at dusk, hence the name "wedding".
After Chu Zhan left the mansion, Qin Zhao tightly held Chu Qing's hand and stared out of the door.
Seeing this, Chu Qing joked, "Mother, I didn't see you so nervous when I got married."
Qin Zhao gave Chu Qing a sidelong glance, then gently tapped her forehead with her finger and said, "You ungrateful girl. When you got married, I was only busy wiping my tears. When did I have time to be so nervous?"
Hearing this answer, Chu Qing's breath caught in her throat, and her mood was quite complicated.
Sending a daughter away in marriage and welcoming a daughter - in - law were indeed two completely different states of mind.
Chu Qing didn't say anything else but held Qin Zhao's hand back.
The mother and daughter stood there, looking out of the door with hope in their eyes.
As the head of the family, Chu Xing, of course, was not so idle. He was busy greeting the guests who had already arrived at the mansion.
Wei Ying wanted to help, but was politely and nervously declined by Chu.
No matter how good a son - in - law he was to the Chu family, his identity could not be ignored.
And the guests who came to the wedding banquet, needless to say, didn't dare to let the Prince of Ning welcome them.
So, having nothing to do, Wei Ying could only quietly find a quiet place to sit and stared intently at Chu Qing's back.
His Qingqing... was getting more and more beautiful.
Wei Huan and Wei Yan had grown up so much, but Chu Qing still looked the same as when she first married him.
Involuntarily, Wei Ying recalled the day of his and Chu Qing's wedding...
The sky darkened again, and the sound of gongs and drums could be heard in the distance.
There were some common people gathered on both sides of the road, all craning their necks to watch. The smart ones had already shouted out all kinds of auspicious words to the wedding procession.
Hearing this, Chu Zhan waved at them with a big smile.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Qu Ling's face turned bright red after hearing words like "have a son soon".
Normally... she wasn't this shy.
It all boiled down to what Chu Qing had left for her last night.
It turned out that after Chu Qing left the night before, Qu Ling, realizing it later, couldn't hold back her curiosity and secretly rummaged through what Chu Qing had left for her.
And then...
She was so ashamed that she almost ran after Chu Qing and gave her a good scolding.
Because...
What Chu Qing had left was actually a...
Pornographic... picture... album!
It was full of extremely shameful content.
Thinking of some of the shocking postures in it after the initial shame...
Qu Ling reached out and touched her hot cheeks.
She became even more nervous.
Just then, they had arrived at the gate of the Chu Mansion.
Amid the deafening sound of firecrackers, the wedding maid lifted the curtain with a smile and reached out her hand to Qu Ling.
Through the bottom of the veil, Qu Ling saw the hand and slowly placed her own in it.
Then, Qu Ling got out of the sedan chair, stepped over the saddle painted bright red, and slowly followed the maid towards the wedding hall.
After standing still with Chu Zhan, the two began to bow and perform the wedding ceremony.
Watching this joyous scene, Chu Qing rubbed her fingertips with deep emotion.
It wasn't until she felt a warm hand on hers that she turned her head and saw that Wei Ying had come to her side at some point.
"Qingqing~" Wei Ying leaned close to Chu Qing's ear and whispered.
"Hmm?"
"Why do I feel like you're the one marrying a daughter - in - law?"
Chu Qing let out a chuckle and gently pushed Wei Ying.
As the two were flirting, Chu Zhan and Qu Ling were led into the bridal chamber.
Chu Qing raised her eyebrows and looked at Wei Ying. Seeing the sparkle in her eyes, Wei Ying hooked his lips and said, "Shall we...?"
"We must go and make some fun."
...
Sitting on the bed covered with red dates and peanuts, Qu Ling nervously wrinkled her wedding dress.
It wasn't until a familiar warm hand covered hers that she gradually calmed down.
After the veil was lifted, Chu Zhan stared blankly at Qu Ling's charming face.
Having been used to seeing Qu Ling's stubborn or angry looks, this shy Qu Ling made Chu Zhan even more infatuated.
After being led to drink the nuptial cup of wine, the others quietly left.
Seeing Chu Zhan getting closer and closer, Qu Ling reached out her hand to block between them and said with a blushing face, "You still have to go out and toast the guests."
Chu Zhan grabbed Qu Ling's hand and continued to move closer. "It doesn't matter. I'll go out later."
"You..." Qu Ling turned her face away and whispered, "Aren't you afraid that Qing'er will lead people to barge in and make a ruckus..."
Although Chu Qing usually did things steadily, in some aspects, she was so uninhibited that it made people feel timid.
For example... giving her that certain album...
Chu Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "I've already invited everyone from the Fengyue Mountain Villa to guard outside. The Prince of Ning surely won't send people here out of the blue, right?"
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a group of people rushed in.
Chu Qing, holding Wei Ying's hand, walked in front with a smile and slowly said,
"I'm afraid it'll disappoint elder brother. I've already... turned everyone from the mountain villa to my side."
