To keep a low profile, Xiao Heye only brought Li Xun and two bodyguards with him when he went to Qingyuan Town, besides Su Tiyue.

His original intention was to accompany Su Tiyue out for a stroll, and also to take the opportunity to visit Qingyuan Town incognito and see what the conditions were like.

In Northern Liang, this area was remote and underdeveloped due to the difficult mountain roads. People living in Qingyuan Town rarely left their hometown.

Of course, people from outside are also unwilling to go to such remote and impoverished places.

Xiao Heye and his group started their journey in the morning, and by the time they reached the town, it was already dark.

They found an inn to stay in.

The inn was very basic, but the owner was a warm and honest middle-aged man.

After arranging rooms for them, the innkeeper invited them to have dinner together.

Unable to refuse their hospitality, Su Tiyue took Xiao Heye along to do as the locals do.

Halfway through the meal, the innkeeper suddenly slapped his forehead and said in a loud, carefree voice, "Look at my memory! ... I almost forgot to mention, you two have come at just the right time. Tomorrow is the wedding of the granddaughter of Dr. Fang in our town. You definitely can't miss it."

Su Tiyue frowned and asked in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, we have no relation to the person you mentioned. Isn't this inappropriate?"

I already felt bad about eating at the innkeeper's place.

How could she have the nerve to crash someone else's wedding banquet?

The shopkeeper replied, "What's wrong with that? The people of Qingyuan Town are all warm and hospitable, and they'd love for the wedding banquet to be as lively as possible..."

"Besides, there are only about thirty households in this small town, and the neighbors all get along very well. We hardly see any unfamiliar faces here in a year, so... young master, young lady, you are honored guests here. Going to eat here is just a matter of adding one more pair of chopsticks..."

They've already gone this far; to refuse now would seem like I'd be rude to them.

Su Tiyue smiled, then looked at Xiao Heye and asked for his opinion, "What does my husband think?"

She blinked her bright eyes at him. Xiao Heye knew her well; Su Tiyue loved joining in on these lively occasions. "Madam, since you're here, why not go and see the local customs and soak up some of the festive spirit?"

"That's wonderful!" Su Tiyue said, turning to the shopkeeper after he agreed.

"It's settled then. My husband and I will go with the shopkeeper to congratulate the newlyweds."

"No problem," the shopkeeper replied readily.

*

The next day, at 9:00 AM.

The two of them followed the innkeeper to Doctor Fang's courtyard.

It's even more lively here than I imagined, and everyone has a smile on their face.

The people here are very hardworking; they come to help early in the morning. All the food for the banquet was prepared by themselves…

The women were responsible for washing the dishes and vegetables, while the men were responsible for cooking and setting the table and chairs.

They arrived early, before the banquet had officially begun. The sun was too strong that day, so the innkeeper had carefully chosen a good spot for them; their table was under a large tree in the center of the courtyard.

Amidst dappled shadows of the trees, Su Tiyue and Xiao Heye sat amidst the bustling crowd, as if they had truly become ordinary citizens.

Living an ordinary life, isn't that a kind of happiness?

Because many people came to help, according to the custom of Qingyuan Town, the bride and groom had to carry a wedding platter and personally give each of the villagers who came to help some wedding candy and sweet dates before the meal.

Su Tiyue rested her chin on her hand, leisurely watching the lively and heartwarming scene.

Those little feet under the table were anything but well-behaved.

She would occasionally rub her instep against Xiao Heye's calf, and when he looked over, Su Tiyue would pretend to be nonchalant as she looked at him.

That face was so innocent and adorable.

As the newlywed couple in their wedding attire drew closer into the crowd, Su Tiyue finally got a clear look at their faces.

They are a perfect match, a match made in heaven.

However… Su Tiyue was all too familiar with the groom’s face.

I believe Xiao Heye thinks so too.

She turned her head and stared at Xiao Heye's face, as if trying to read something from him.

But no...

Xiao Heye stared at the familiar figure not far away for a moment, then turned his head and met Su Tiyue's gaze with a calm expression.

Xiao Heye's face was cold and stern, yet carried an indifferent expression that was difficult to discern his true emotions.

He didn't seem surprised at all.

It was at this moment that Su Tiyue realized... that Xiao Heye had always known what she wanted to do.

He didn't say anything, but he was willing to cooperate with everything she wanted to do.

For example, today.

"Husband, you know everything... don't you?" Su Tiyue asked him, frowning.

"Hmm." He reached out and took Su Tiyue's fingers in his palm, saying calmly, "I've said it before, matters at home... are decided by the madam."

Yes, this is indeed a family matter.

The groom who is getting married today in Qingyuan Town is Zhou Tingyue, the younger brother of Emperor Xiao Heye.

In fact, Su Tiyue had already found Zhou Tingyue's whereabouts more than a month ago.

It's true that he was shot by an arrow and fell off a cliff, but he survived and came back alive.

It was his newlywed wife who saved Zhou Tingyue.

I heard her name is Fang Ying, and her grandfather is a respected doctor in this town.

Zhou Tingyue, who was on the verge of death, was rescued by Fang Ying and took good care of him for more than two months before he recovered.

Now, looking at the two of them, their eyes are only for each other, and they exchange a perfectly tacit smile.

It's easy to see that Zhou Tingyue has found her spiritual home.

With tears in her eyes, Su Tiyue said to Xiao Heye, "My dear husband, you've really gone through a lot. You have to make me happy and play along with my act. You know better than anyone why I came to Qingyuan Town today, but you've never exposed me along the way. Why is that?"

Xiao Heye said, "Madam has her reasons for doing this. Whether I expose her or not doesn't seem to matter... Anyway, I'll go wherever you go. I'll do whatever you ask me to do..."

Su Tiyue asked, "Really that obedient?"

Xiao Heye smiled and then obediently nodded.

Looking up, the newlyweds had already walked up to Su Tiyue and Xiao Heye.

Their eyes met.

Su Tiyue and Xiao Heye remained calm and composed.

Only Zhou Tingyue's face showed shock.

Shocking!
