Chapter 2268 The groom was stunned?

"Is the groom stunned?" someone joked, and everyone in the room laughed good-naturedly.

Kang clasped his hands together and said, "The bride is so beautiful, I would be stunned if I were her."

Meng Yunzheng looked unusually embarrassed and quickly looked away, placing the scale beam on the tray.

The matchmaker brought over a cup of nuptial wine. After drinking the wine and eating raw dumplings, the matchmaker shooed Meng Yunzheng out the door.

Meng Yunzheng, "..."

He hesitated for a moment at the doorway, "Maybe I should stay inside. Ayu got up early this morning and must be hungry, I..."

“We’ll take care of you if you’re hungry. You go and serve the guests,” Tao urged him.

Zhao Xi and Gan Rui arrived unnoticed, grabbed his shoulders, and dragged him away, saying, "What's the rush? There's plenty of time for your wedding night. Come and drink with your brothers first."

Meng Yunzheng couldn't even turn his head back before being carried to the front yard.

There were many guests in the front yard. Even Prefect Fei sent someone to deliver gifts, and County Magistrate Xie personally came to offer his congratulations.

There were also the scholars from the prefectural city who had previously participated in the imperial examinations with Meng Yunzheng, as well as the local scholars.

As soon as Meng Yunzheng arrived, everyone surrounded him, and it was impossible for him to leave.

The new house, however, was much quieter.

Shu Yu relaxed slightly, stood up, and moved around.

Tao brought over a bowl of noodles. "You must be tired. These noodles were just cooked in the kitchen. Have some to tide you over."

"Thanks."

Although she was a little hungry, Shu Yu didn't eat much.

After they finished eating, Tao and the others left, giving Shuyu a quiet space to relax.

Sure enough, as soon as Tao closed the door, Shu Yu leaned forward and asked the only person in the room, "Have they all left?"

"Wait a minute, they haven't gone far yet." Yingxi peeked through the crack in the door, and once everyone was far away, he immediately bolted the door.

Shu Yu let out a breath and collapsed onto the bed.

She didn't dare to use too much force. There were many peanuts and longans under the quilt, and the phoenix crown on her head was very heavy. She might accidentally prick herself.

Ying Xi stepped forward and massaged her shoulders and limbs. "Miss, are you feeling any better?"

"Not bad, did you learn that from your sister-in-law?" Shu Yu pointed to her back. "Give me a tap here."

Yingxi chuckled. She had studied martial arts and possessed skillful hands. Once you've learned something, the massage can actually be quite comfortable.

The master and servant were relaxing when a soft knock came from outside.

Shu Yu sat up instantly, straightening her back.

Yingxi: "Who is it?"

"It's me." A male voice came softly from outside.

It's Cheyenne.

Ying Xi quickly walked to the door and asked in a low voice, "What is it?"

"Young Master asked me to tell Young Madam that it's still early and she can take a nap for an hour or two. Don't worry, I'll be guarding outside the door and will turn anyone away if they come. Young Master said that Young Madam must have gotten up very early today and is probably sleepy now."

"knew."

Ying Xi didn't even open the door, but turned around and walked back. "Miss, why don't you take a nap? Xia Yan said he'd keep watch outside, and he'll definitely do it well and not let anyone in."

“…Okay.” Shu Yu was really too sleepy.

Yingxi quickly gathered up everything from under the bedding and removed the phoenix crown from Shuyu's head.

As for clothes, I'll just wear these for now. Wedding dresses are too complicated, and I'm afraid I won't have time to put them on when I get up.
