Ye Yunniang recalled the scene of her wedding night with Li Jun.

"Yunniang, I cannot consummate our marriage."

"Brother Jun, you don't want to marry me." Ye Yunniang's shyness froze.

"No, it's because I'm going to join the army," Li Jun explained, adding that his fate was uncertain. Unexpectedly, Ye Yunniang was still trapped in the Li family because of the child.

“I’m willing. I want to stay in the Li family for the rest of my life,” Ye Yunniang said eagerly.

“Yunniang, you’re still young and don’t understand the hardship of life without a man by your side. Listen to me, we won’t consummate our marriage. I will tell my parents that after I’m gone, they can adopt you as their goddaughter and find you a good family to marry into.”

No matter what Li Jun said, Ye Yunniang refused and insisted on consummating the marriage.

Li Jun said he was tired, threw the blanket on the ground, and lay down directly.

He won't be consummating the marriage today.

Li Jun acted like a rogue, and Ye Yunniang was at a loss for what to do.

Thinking of how good Cai Damei had been to her, Ye Yunniang jumped off the bed to pull Li Jun away.

"What are you going to do?" Li Jun pulled the blanket tighter around himself.

"The bridal chamber." Ye Yunniang pulled the blanket over her head.

"I already said, no."

"It's no use saying no. I want to consummate the marriage." Ye Yunniang used all her strength to pull off the quilt.

“Little girl, you’re so stubborn.” Li Jun grabbed the blanket and tied Ye Yunniang up.

Ye Yunniang struggled but couldn't break free, and became furious, "Li Jun, if you don't consummate our marriage today, I'll... I'll bite my tongue and commit suicide."

As she spoke, Ye Yunniang bit her tongue hard.

"No." Li Jun put his hand into Ye Yunniang's mouth to stop her from biting.

"Ouch—you really bit me..." Li Jun pulled his hand away, only to find his hand was bitten and bleeding.

Seeing Li Jun injured, Ye Yunniang was so frightened that tears streamed down her face.

"Brother Jun, I didn't mean it."

"Don't cry, I don't blame you, don't cry..." Li Jun put his hands behind his back and hugged Ye Yunniang to comfort her and stop her crying.

Ye Yunniang didn't want to wipe away her tears.

“Brother Jun, we’ve already gone through the wedding ceremony. I’m your wife, you can’t abandon me.” Ye Yunniang clutched Li Jun’s clothes, looking aggrieved.

"I didn't abandon you. I won't drag you down with me." The battlefield is ruthless; Li Jun couldn't guarantee he'd return alive.

"I don't care. I just want to be your wife. To be my parents' daughter-in-law."

"Under my persistent nagging, your father and I consummated our marriage." Ye Yunniang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Does Mother love Father?"

After thinking for a while, Ye Yunniang said, "Jun Ge and I have only spent three days together after our marriage. It's too short a time for us to develop feelings for each other."

Ye Yunniang held Li Pan's hand and said, "Pan'er, what I want to tell you is that, whether then or now, I feel that marrying Jun Ge was a blessing I earned in my past life."

It's just that this blessing is a bit short-lived.

"Does Mother love Father?"

Ye Yunniang knew that Li Pan's use of the word "father" referred to Jiang Mingzhe.

"Love," Ye Yunniang answered affirmatively.

Ye Yunniang has a son and a house. Her family is not wealthy, but they are not short of money either.

If Ye Yunniang didn't love Jiang Mingzhe, she wouldn't have had his child, much less marry him.

"Mother, I will study hard, pass the imperial examination, and become an official. I will ask for an official title for you so that no one will bully you."

"Okay, Mother will wait."

"The groom is here!" someone shouted from outside.

"Hurry, hurry, close the door!" Baise urged, making sure the door to the side room was tightly closed.

"Have you brought everything?"

"Here it is, here it is." A clanging sound.

"Where's the cup? You didn't take the cup. Go get the cup."

"Here it is." Ye Yunniang's teacup was taken away.

"Where's the rouge? Where did you put it?"

"Here, here."

Ye Yunniang's rouge, lipstick, and eyebrow pencil, which she had placed on the dressing table, were taken away.

"Mother, are you sure nothing bad will happen?" Li Pan became more and more worried as she looked at the mother.

"Don't worry about it."

These two will remember this for the rest of their lives, even if they don't get their revenge today.

Ye Yunniang yawned, "I'm going to lie down for a while."

During this pregnancy, Ye Yunniang not only suffered from severe morning sickness, but also became extremely sleepy.

Li Pan helped Ye Yunniang lie down and stayed by her side, making sure no one disturbed her.

Jiang Mingzhe arrived with his wedding party. At the courtyard gate, he saw Tie Yi holding a child.

Jiang Mingzhe took a red envelope and stuffed it into the child's arms.

"Your wife is inside."

Tie Yi smiled helplessly, "Commander Jiang, please bear with me."

Upon receiving news of Ye Yunniang and Jiang Mingzhe's marriage, Baise packed his bags overnight and rode at breakneck speed, fearing he wouldn't make it in time.

Arrive at Sunset Lane to confirm that we're getting married today.

He didn't even go home; he rushed straight into Ye Yunniang's room to prepare.

Jiang Mingzhe had a feeling that picking up the person today wouldn't be easy.

Upon entering the courtyard, Tie Xiong blocked Jiang Mingzhe's path as the first obstacle.

Tie Xiong's requirements weren't difficult: a fist and foot fight. If Jiang Mingzhe could withstand 10 moves from Tie Xiong, he would pass the test.

Jiang Mingzhe had some martial arts experience, and with Tie Xiong giving him an easy pass, he passed the level.

The second challenge is Li Ping.

"If you want me to step aside, you have to get through three checkpoints first."

"Pingping, there's no need to be so formal." They are father and son.

"You want to marry my mother without doing anything? Impossible." Li Ping said with a flat face, her expression leaving no room for negotiation.

"Okay, you give me the question."

Let's start with a few simple ones.

What's my mother's favorite color?

"red."

"You like pastries the most?"

Brown sugar cake.

"Your favorite dish?"

"Small crispy fish".

What kind of jewelry do you like to wear the most?

"The lady likes jade and loves wearing jade bracelets. Her favorite is a crystal-clear green jade bracelet."

Li Ping nodded; Jiang Mingzhe's answers were all correct.

The conversation shifted abruptly, and the questions became sharp.
