The next day, Fu Man'er got up early, washed up, and went straight to the Wang family.

The Wang family home was already quite lively at this time. Passing through the bustling crowd, Fu Man'er went straight to the inner courtyard to find Wang Jingjing.

As the bride today, Wang Jingjing is undoubtedly the most beautiful. Fu Man'er said, "You don't usually like to wear powder and draw your eyebrows. You are so beautiful today. If Manager Chen sees you, he probably won't be able to take his eyes off you."

There were several young girls and matchmakers in the room. When they heard Fu Man'er say that, they all praised Wang Jingjing, saying that her wedding dress was beautiful and her jewelry was beautiful.

The person being praised sat listlessly on the bed, their eyelids drooping, seemingly about to close.

Just before closing it, Wang Jingjing forced it open again, looking weakly at everyone's smiling faces.

"Let me tell you, getting married is incredibly difficult."

"I feel like I just fell asleep when I was pulled up and tossed and turned all night."

A girl in the crowd exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? They're not allowed to sleep the night before the wedding?"

It wasn't that they wouldn't let her sleep; Wang Jingjing was just too excited and didn't fall asleep until late at night. Then she was woken up not long after that.

Here, women have to have their faces shaved before getting married, which really took a toll on Wang Jingjing. She was like a puppet, raising her hand when told to and getting dressed when told to.

While the maid was applying makeup to her face, she could still close her eyes and secretly doze off for a while. As for what she looks like now, she hasn't even seen it yet.

"Sigh, this marriage was so hard to arrange. I never want to get married again in my life." Wang Jingjing shook her head and started to say things she shouldn't have.

Everyone smiled with pursed lips, but the matchmaker's face changed. How could she say such a thing on her wedding day?

A stern voice came from the doorway, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

It was Wang Jingjing's mother and grandmother who came in.

Wang Jingjing realized she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly said with a grin, "I just didn't sleep well, I was talking nonsense."

The two elders came to check on how Wang Jingjing's preparations were going, as the auspicious time was approaching.

A group of people were gathered inside, talking non-stop, until someone outside shouted, "The groom has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, everyone inside rushed out to see the groom, and Wang Jingjing's older brother was already waiting at the door.

On the day of the bride's wedding, her feet cannot touch the ground. Brother Wang will carry Wang Jingjing out of the inner courtyard and hand her over to Steward Chen.

"Quick, let your mother see if there's anything wrong." After looking Wang Jingjing up and down and making sure there were no problems, Wang's mother let her older brother come in to carry her.

"Oh dear, where's the veil?" Only after Brother Wang carried the person on his back did the matchmaker notice that the veil was not on.

"Here it is." The maid handed over the veil.

The Queen Mother took the veil and walked to Wang Jingjing's side.

"Mother." For some reason, the previously noisy room suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at them.

Wang Jingjing has always been carefree and easygoing; she didn't even feel that getting married made any difference.

But at this moment, she was being carried on her older brother's back, her mother was about to put a veil over her head, and her grandmother stood beside her, watching her with reluctance.

Hearing her daughter call out like that, the Queen Mother's eyes couldn't help but well up with tears, but this was her daughter's joyous day, how could she shed tears?

"Mother is here." Wang's mother patted Wang Jingjing's back, then raised her hand to cover her head with a veil.

The moment the veil covered Wang Jingjing's head, Wang's mother couldn't help but shed tears.

She quickly covered her mouth with her hand and took a deep breath, "Don't miss the auspicious time."

Brother Wang supported Wang Jingjing with his hands and walked towards the front yard. The distance from the back yard to the front yard was not far, but Brother Wang walked very slowly.

He felt a mix of emotions. When his sister was little, he thought she was always crying and tattling. He wished his sister had been a lucky girl.

She was like a little dough ball, both obedient and clever. Back then, the Xu brothers were so envious of her for having such a wonderful little sister.

Later, as everyone grew up, Wang Jingjing stopped crying and complaining. He hadn't seen his sister cry for a very long time.

The brother and sister still bicker from time to time. Who would have thought that this girl, who never won a single argument with him, would be getting married?

"Little sister," Brother Wang called out. He always called her by her name, and this was the first time he had called her "little sister."

"Hmm?" Wang Jingjing leaned on his shoulder, her voice sounding a little muffled.

“If the Chen family treats you badly or bullies you, you must tell your brother. Your brother will protect you even if it costs him his life.”

Brother Wang has never said such a thing. Sometimes he speaks in a harsh voice and looks burly.

Wang Jingjing tightened her grip on Brother Wang's chest. She suddenly remembered a time when she was a child and was bullied by a much older child while she was out playing.

She came home crying, covered in mud. Her older brother, seeing her like that, laughed at her, calling her a crybaby. But when he learned that she had been pushed into the mud by someone else...

He rushed out to confront the other person, even though he was no match for that older kid. Even after being beaten to the ground, he was still yelling, "How dare you bully my sister!"

Perhaps it was that belief that kept Brother Wang going. Even when he was lying on the ground, he still got up and fought with others, ultimately injuring his enemy by 800 while losing 1,000 of his own.

The two children got into a serious fight, and when the adults found out, Brother Wang, who had started the trouble, was severely reprimanded when he got home.

He was already covered in injuries, and then he was forced to kneel for several hours as punishment.

Wang Jingjing still remembers that at that time she thought her older brother was stupid. He clearly couldn't beat the opponent, but he still insisted on fighting, and in the end he didn't get anything good out of it.

Later, when she grew a little older, she realized that she was the foolish one. She knew she couldn't win, but she still went to fight, all for her younger sister.

"Big brother," Wang Jingjing called out, "Don't worry, it won't happen."

After exchanging a few words, they arrived at the front yard, where Steward Chen was already waiting. He was dressed in a bright red auspicious robe, which made him look very cheerful.

Manager Qi took Wang Jingjing from Brother Wang's back, the matchmaker sang and chanted, and the groom carried the bride into the sedan chair.

Fu Man'er walked a little behind, and with her sharp eyes, she noticed obvious water stains on the collar of Brother Wang's shirt.

Jingjing must have cried.

Xu Yi couldn't easily go into the inner courtyard, but as soon as Fu Man'er came out, Xu Yi spontaneously walked to her side.

The bride has been received, and the wedding procession should be setting off, but Steward Chen, who had already mounted his horse, dismounted.

The Wang family members were all watching at the gate. Before they could even ask him what was wrong, he suddenly knelt down.

"This is?"

Manager Chen kowtowed to them, "Grandma, Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, Eldest Brother, rest assured, I will never let Jingjing suffer any injustice after marrying her."

"She is now not only the apple of your Wang family's eye, but also a treasure of my Chen family."

After he finished speaking, Steward Chen kowtowed twice more.

Wang Jingjing's father quickly helped her up, saying, "Good child, good child, we know how you feel."

After bidding farewell to the Wang family, Steward Chen remounted his horse, and the music of gongs and drums immediately began. As the people in front moved, the sedan chair behind followed suit.

Sitting inside the sedan chair, Wang Jingjing couldn't resist lifting her veil slightly and looking out through the swaying curtain.

I could only vaguely see my family members coming out of the front door; I couldn't see anything behind them.

Once the wedding procession left, the Wang family began their banquet. The room was filled with guests, and the air was filled with laughter and conversation.

But just as Liu Fang and her sisters-in-law had finished comforting the Wang family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the inner courtyard, and the group was about to leave, Xu Wen ran over.

"Auntie, I just saw Uncle wiping away tears. Did our business lose money?"

Without thinking, Ma Hong slapped Xu Wen, saying, "What are you saying? Everything's fine at home."

Liu Fang was stunned for a moment, "Your uncle really shed tears?" After coming from the Xu family, she stayed with the Wang family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, while her husband stayed in the front yard.

But he was perfectly fine when he left home this morning. Xu Genshan even said that the Wang family was using good wine today, and he should drink a few more cups.

"Oh, what's going on, sister-in-law? You should go and see." Ma Hong gently nudged her.

Liu Fang rushed over, and when she got there, Fu Man'er and Xu Yi were already beside her.

Xu Genshan lowered his head, holding Fu Man'er's hand, seemingly saying something, while Xu Yi stood to the side, looking rather unwell.

Just as Liu Fang was about to go over and ask, she heard Xu Genshan say, "Today is the day the Wang family's daughter got married, and the Wang family's crying made my heart ache."

"Man'er, the thought of you getting married in the future makes me even more heartbroken."

Just as Fu Man'er was about to speak, Xu Genshan continued, "Let me tell you, there's a saying that's very true: 'Men fear choosing the wrong career, and women fear marrying the wrong man.' But with me here and the Xu family here, don't be afraid. I don't think I'll let anyone bully you."

Xu Yi, who was standing next to him, grew increasingly sullen. Did his father think he didn't exist?

Liu Fang's expression wasn't much better either; she could tell at a glance that Xu Genshan must have drunk too much.

Only when you're drunk can you ramble on and on about what's on your mind.

This is perhaps the norm for many fathers; they don't easily express their love, but it's not that they don't.

Xu Genshan raised his hand to wipe his eyes and said in a muffled voice, "Man'er, I can't bear to think that you're going to marry someone else. You're still so young."

He raised his hand, trying hard to gesture how tall Fu Man'er was when she was little.

Xu Yi, who was referred to as "someone else," couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to take him back.

Liu Fang spoke first, "Xu Genshan!" It was this call of his full name that brought a glimmer of clarity to Xu Genshan's eyes.

"Go home," Liu Fang said with a dark expression.

Xu Genshan opened his mouth as if to speak, but Liu Fang glared at him, and he immediately shut his mouth, then stood up, muttering, "Fine, I'll go home then."

Today, Wang Jingjing's wedding scene may have really touched Xu Genshan. He lost control and drank a lot. Although Liu Fang looked disgusted, she still took the initiative to help him walk outside after Xu Genshan stood up.

Fu Man'er smiled as she watched the two figures disappear into the distance. "Brother, do you think Father will cry or laugh on our wedding day?"

He even shed tears today just seeing Wang Jingjing get married, which surprised everyone.

Xu Yi snorted coldly and said in an unfriendly tone, "You're not marrying into another family, so why is he crying?"

Xu Yi, who has always been labeled as "someone else" by his own father, said he was really unhappy.
