Chapter 65 Junxiu

Shen Yuanzhu put the cap back on, as if nothing had happened.

Whether it was Xie Jingyuan or Xie Qi who came to fetch the bride, it didn't make much difference to her.

"Xie Qi has been unknown in the Xie family for so many years, it's obvious that the Xie family doesn't value him."

"The reason I was assigned to Xie Qi, who was not favored, was probably because Old Madam Xie harbored resentment towards me for being engaged to Xie Xuchuan."

"Since there is a grudge, such a tainted matter would not be told to Xie Jingyuan. Xie Jingyuan himself does not know, and no one else would know either."

"After all, Madam Xie wouldn't be willing to let her most favored son bear such a bad reputation."

"Therefore, Xie Qi most likely doesn't know anything about what the Xie family has done."

Shen Yuanzhu was somewhat annoyed: "It's just that I had no idea what kind of person Xie Qi was, which was a bit troublesome, but oh well, I'll find out today."

Luo's eyes reddened, and she felt extremely terrified.

They only knew that the Xie family disliked Xie Qi, but they had never inquired about him before. Now that they knew, he had become their new son-in-law.

Hearing Luo's sobs, Shen Yuanzhu's heart softened.

She had never seen her wet nurse shed a tear.

Shen Yuanzhu held Luo's hand: "Don't be afraid, wet nurse. Life is what it is. Xie Qi is not a vicious or ruthless person. If he were a villain, there would have been some rumors about him in Suzhou Prefecture over the years."

"Since there's not a hint of it, at most he's just dull-witted, or perhaps he's frail and sickly."

"It's actually a good thing for me if people are a bit stupid and weak; they're easier to control than Xie Jingyuan."

Shen Yuanzhu patted the wet nurse's hand: "You know my temperament. I can brave even the most dangerous places."

Holding Chen Yuanzhu's soft hand, Madam Luo said, "This old servant is not afraid, and Miss need not be afraid either. No matter who Xie Qi is, this old servant will protect Miss."

Shen Yuanzhu nodded, looking down at the apple in her hand.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on her palms, making it difficult to grasp the enormous fruit, as if her future life had slipped out of her control.

Taking out a handkerchief, Chen Yuanzhu wiped the slippery apple, and her uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

When the wedding sedan chair arrived at the main gate, the Shen family's gate was tightly closed. The groom was scattering "Five Sons Passing the Imperial Examination" lucky money outside, making a noisy and lively scene.

Xie Qi wore a blue and green round-necked wedding robe and a black hat with red pom-poms.

He was holding a red envelope in his hand, revealing half of his wrist bone, which looked white and strong against the blue and green wedding robe.

When you scatter the lucky money with a little force, the joints become more distinct.

Someone pushed the door open, and he placed his hand on the door frame before leaning inside.

Luo saw a tall man, wearing black boots with a double lotus and double happiness pattern, enter the house with a dashing air.

Unaware of what someone beside him said, Xie Qi lowered his eyes and chuckled softly. In an instant, a touch of gentleness appeared in his sharp eyes, softening the coldness he had before smiling and adding a touch of gentle, refined elegance to his youthful appearance.

He wore a red brocade draped diagonally, which accentuated his lean and powerful waist. Standing there, he was a picture of a noble and elegant handsome man.

Luo couldn't help but hiss.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Yuanzhu was stunned for a moment, her heart pounding.

Before she could even worry, Madam Luo leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Miss, the new son-in-law is extremely handsome."

Her ears were filled with a mixture of amazement and astonishment.

"Huh?"

Shen Yuanzhu asked, "Is he handsome?"

"A hundred times more handsome than Xie Xuchuan."

After saying that, Madam Luo paused for a moment, then said happily, "He's tall and handsome. Miss will be very pleased on our wedding night."
