The servant bowed his head.
“Young master, the Sun family handled this matter very discreetly and discreetly.”
Shen Qingyu suddenly realized.
"Oh, they have a sense of shame. Even if Sun Er were dead, he wouldn't want to make his homosexuality public. But such a joyous occasion can't just pass by quietly."
"Go and relay my orders. I'm going to send my best friend a big gift. One marriage partner isn't enough, so let's add twenty paper effigies. Oh, and have them made to look like me. He can't have me while I'm alive, so let's send some paper effigies to keep him company. He'll be happy then."
.
The Sun family's wedding is scheduled for tomorrow evening.
There have been many things happening in Jincheng recently, and the entire city is in chaos.
I had planned to take advantage of the chaos and leave quietly.
Little did anyone know, the unexpected happened in the afternoon.
A large funeral procession was set out. Carrying funeral banners, scattering paper money, carrying baskets and bags of gold ingots, and accompanied by twenty handsome paper-mache boys, they began their procession from the north of the city, circling the main street, accompanied by gongs, drums, and suonas.
With such a grand spectacle, the deceased must have been someone of great importance.
But I haven't heard of any wealthy families holding funerals recently.
Finally, the funeral procession, with its music and fanfare, took an hour to circle from the north of the city to the south.
It stopped outside the Sun family's gate.
The Sun family members, who were originally watching the commotion...
The person in charge of the funeral procession had a loud voice that could be heard clearly across half the street.
Then he said, "I heard that your family is going to hold a wedding for your second son. What a joyous occasion! My young master has specially sent a generous gift to congratulate you! I wish Sun Erlang and Xue Gongzi a harmonious marriage, and that they will have a son in the afterlife to continue their bloodline."
No, I didn't! You sent the wrong item!
The servants of the Sun family blocked the person at the door.
But they wouldn't accept the gifts, and the funeral procession wouldn't leave.
They played music and sang in front of the Sun family's house, scattered paper money, and played the suona, repeatedly wishing the second young master Sun a happy marriage and a harmonious marriage.
They couldn't be driven away; there were too many of them, and they had taken over half the street.
In the end, having no other choice, they had to put those gold ingots and paper offerings into the Sun family's home.
The group then reluctantly left, making a lot of noise.
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Sun in the inner quarters immediately fainted.
What a terrible fate! Even in death, he still caused his parents worry.
.
The news quickly spread throughout the city.
At dinner time, Shen Qingyu sat down at the table after a long absence.
I'm in a great mood.
The news of Sun Er's marriage has caused quite a stir, and Sun Er's young widow must have heard about it too.
With such a great commotion, how could she resist going to take a look?
He ate a couple of bites casually and then put down his chopsticks.
He grabbed the half-empty jar of wine from the dining table.
"Go, send someone to tell the old man that I've acquired a jar of fine wine and can't wait to pay my respects to him."
…
Qi Su had indeed heard the news of Sun Er's marriage.
The funeral procession was so grand that it traveled all over the city, making it impossible not to hear about it.
After all, Jincheng had just escaped a military disaster a few days ago.
The sword hanging over my head has finally been removed, and my suppressed nerves can finally relax.
Just then, this "happy news" came from the Sun family.
Wealthy family, same-sex marriage, M marriage.
With all the popular elements gathered, it instantly ignited the trending topics list in Lanzhou.
I never expected that two insomnia worms would create such an effect; I've made a fortune!
Qi Su was at the Moon Gazing Tower, gazing at the moon while listening to the young man sing.
Qi Su listened absentmindedly, and the young man in white sang absentmindedly as well.
After finishing the song, the boy looked at Qi Su with a resentful expression.
"What's your sister thinking about? Is she thinking about that deadbeat?"
Qi Su touched his soft, white little hands.
"I really am thinking about that damned guy."
Before the young man could feign a change of heart, she continued, "I'm wondering how much of his estate I'll get now that he's remarried."
That's hard to say.
After all, that newlywed couple was eating incense ash and gnawing on candles.
Qi Su took off the bag of golden melon seeds from her waist and threw it onto the table.
"If you ask me, there are indeed some areas where you are not as good as Young Master Shen."
What?
The white-clad youth, who had already sat down at the zither table and was pretending to play, immediately changed his expression upon hearing this.
Shen Qingyu was not only Sun Er's obsession, but also his.
"What do you mean?" He stopped pretending and stared coldly at Qi Su with a dark face.
He was also holding an incense burner from the side.
It seems that if Qi Su's answer is not to his liking, he will make her suffer.
Qi Su raised her hand.
"Don't be so nervous. In terms of character and talent, he can't compare to you. But when it comes to remembering the past, he's much more sentimental than you. Look, even though Sun Er's marriage was kept so secret before, he still found out. And he even made a big fuss and sent such a generous gift."
The boy's dark face slowly regained some color.
She had a pretty little face with a serious expression.
"What, you think his method is good?"
Qi Su smiled broadly.
"Alright. Didn't you and Sun Er have a relationship before? Why don't you go and send some incense, candles, and paper money to congratulate them?"
The boy lowered his dark eyelashes.
It's as if he's thinking seriously.
He didn't mind doing things that would upset the Sun family and the deceased Sun Er.
but……
"The Sun family is a large and powerful clan in Jincheng. They can't do anything to the Shen family, but they could easily crush me."
Qi Su: "Who told you to go with your real name?"
The boy's eyes flickered.
Qi Su: "Tomorrow, you should also hire someone to send a congratulatory message and paper ingots over. Over the years, Sun Er's lovers have enough to fill a table, so let's discuss sending them all together. As for the cost, look, this bag of gold melon seeds is more than enough."
The boy gave a cold laugh.
"Sister, that's quite a move. You're thinking of ways to get us all to avenge you."
Qi Su: "It's a win-win situation. If you're not willing, I'll find someone else."
The boy immediately snatched the golden melon seeds into his arms.
A touch of sorrow also settled between his brows.
"Fine, what can I do? I'm bound to that nemesis, so I'll go see him."
.
The Sun family spent an extremely anxious night.
The big sword that Jin Cheng used to wear is gone; it's now hanging above the Sun family's head.
Because he had lost face, Old Master Sun flew into a rage.
That damned brat, he should just die, but he still has to come up with all these titles, bringing shame to the family.
He intended to take advantage of the darkness to quickly leave the city and finish this mess, burying the chosen young man directly in Sun Er's grave.
But Madam Sun wouldn't allow it.
What if the auspicious time, which was specially chosen by an expert, is changed arbitrarily, and this brings misfortune to the parents?
The entire household was on tenterhooks.
I feel the night is passing too slowly, and I also fear tomorrow will come too soon.
The next morning, when the gates of the mansion were opened, wow, there was no sign of the commotion or the absurdity of it all; it was clear who had entered through the gate first.
Yesterday, only Young Master Shen came to deliver a congratulatory gift.
Today, all of the young master's former lovers sent congratulatory gifts.
Paper offerings of incense, candles, and paper money were piled up on the street, blocking the street entrance.
The congratulatory messages hung on the wreaths, each one more poignant than the last.
The poem, "Thinking of you but not seeing you, my heart is broken with sorrow," is signed Hua Yue Nu.
They don't even know who sent the gifts.
Now that things have come to this, the Sun family is numb.
We'll just have to open the door and welcome guests, whatever we have to do.
