Chapter 114 Wedding
Liu Ciyan is Liu Fuying's father, the biological father of the deceased "Liu Fuying".
"real?"
"Yes, Liu Shiyuan had caused trouble by framing you. She lost all face in the capital. No good family wanted to marry her. She also looked down on ordinary poor families, so she became a concubine of a wealthy family. Unexpectedly, the wife of that family was not someone to be trifled with. She had a very difficult life."
"How do you know these things?"
"It's about you, how could I not know."
Pei Zhouwu's fingers gently brushed across her face, wiping away the tears that she had not wiped away just now.
“It can be considered as their retribution, but it can’t be Shen Xiunian’s handiwork again, right?”
Upon hearing this, Pei Zhouwu became unhappy again.
"Why, I see that you now have great respect for Shen Xiunian."
"What are you talking about?" Liu Fuying hit him and said, "I just find it strange that even if the emperor granted us a marriage, he wouldn't take it so seriously and teach the Liu family who bullied me in the past a lesson for me."
“Yeah, so you’re sure it’s Shen Xiunian?”
Liu Fuying approached him and asked with a smile, "My husband has great magical powers and knows everything, so he must know who is behind this, right?"
I just heard him let out a heavy breath.
"It's my mother," he said.
"Ah?" Liu Fuying straightened up, feeling unbelievable.
Not to mention that she was a married woman, even those rich young ladies who were well-matched with her might not be able to catch Pei's mother's eye.
Pei Zhouwu hugged her back.
"My mother promised me a long time ago that if she found you who had stayed with me in Xiangshan, no matter who you were, she would accept you and hold a grand wedding to welcome you home. And she knew that if you hadn't been there with me, I would have given up on myself and died. My mother is just strict, but she is not pedantic or unreasonable."
"The more I talk, the more nervous I get."
Liu Fuying shrank his head.
Pei Zhouwu's smiling eyes were gentle, and soft affection almost poured out of his eyes, and the enveloping warmth brought her peace of mind.
"Don't be nervous. Mother dealt with the Liu family for you, which was also a way of expressing her sincerity."
"good."
Liu Fuying smiled reassuringly, thinking that Pei Zhouwu did not grow up to be such a modest gentleman by chance. It must be the result of his parents' careful and serious education, who taught him by example.
Pei Zhouwu is such a nice kid, his parents must not be overbearing.
*
Go to the capital city.
The prison was dark and the vision was blurry. One couldn't see Shen Xiunian, who was lying huddled in the corner.
The jailer who brought the food knocked on the cell door with the hilt of his sword, but for a long time there was no sound from the person on the ground.
"You are the one who suffers by not eating or drinking. Although you will be executed in the autumn, one more day of life is at least one more day. I heard that the Shen family will be returning to Beijing soon. They should come to see you in prison then. At least you can see them for the last time."
After talking for a long time, Shen Xiunian still did not move.
The jailer gave up, put the bowl of rice into the cell door and turned to leave.
In the darkness, Shen Xiunian half opened his eyes.
He was still alive, not dead.
His hair was disheveled and his prison uniform was dirty. He no longer looked as handsome as before.
"Meet...missed."
He hadn't spoken for a long time, and suddenly his voice became very hoarse when he spoke.
What's there to see?
Liu Fuying and Pei Zhouwu were going back to Beijing to have a happy wedding, so it was unlucky to see him.
They came back in a horse carriage, which would take at least a month on the road. They would have to rest for some time before returning to the capital, and it would also take some time to prepare for the wedding. The wedding of the king's uncle could not be taken lightly.
If you count the date, it's probably close to the day he was beheaded.
Thinking about it this way, it feels even more unlucky.
He had done so many wrong things, and finally he did something satisfactory. How could he bring bad luck to them and ruin their efforts?
Before he knew it, the sharp porcelain piece in his hand was already at his lips.
Like the fragments left after a porcelain bowl was broken.
It was not too big but not too small, just enough to fit into his mouth.
The fragments seemed to have been held in his hand for a long time. The sharp edges made his fingers bleed, and when he put them in his mouth, they dripped down drop by drop.
The sound of difficult swallowing and heavy breathing filled the entire cell with pain.
He still didn't let himself go.
Even if it is death, it is punishing oneself in such a painful way.
…
When Liu Fuying heard the news, he was stunned for a long time.
After all, she was a loser and shed a few tears.
But after shedding tears, life must go on.
In this journey of life, at the end, we cannot escape the word death.
Those who are alive should always live well.
She would follow the last words in Shen Xiunian's letter and find a way to bury him and Jiang Susu together.
…
It was a month and a half later that I returned to Shangjing.
After visiting Pei's house and entering the palace, Liu Fuying met Pei Zhouwu's parents and the Queen Mother. Their love for Pei Zhouwu made Liu Fuying feel at ease.
But she knew that this was the result of Pei Zhouwu's hard work behind the scenes.
Pei Zhouwu didn't want her to suffer any injustice.
The wedding was in three months.
Early in the morning, the whole mansion began to get busy.
Liu Fuying tried the color of her lip balm today. No matter how blurry the bronze mirror was, it couldn't hide the brightness of her red lips.
"Jinli, come here."
Liu Fuying pulled Jin Li from behind and then held her hands.
"The results of the autumn exam are out, and Lu Buyu has passed the exam. Isn't it time to prepare for your wedding?"
Lu Buyu is a scholar, whom Jin Li met in Yunnan.
The two of them had developed feelings for each other a long time ago, but Lu Buyu felt inferior because he was poor and did not dare to make a promise to Jin Li. But now that he had won the second place in the second class, he was finally a man of honor.
"Miss, today is your wedding day, why are you bringing me up?"
Jin Li was shy. She pulled her hand back, picked up the comb on the table and started combing Liu Fuying's hair again.
In the bronze mirror, Liu Fuying's face was full of smiles.
She finally realized her wish, letting Jinli marry into a good family and buying her a big house so that she could live a stable life for the rest of her life.
Jin Li followed her smile and said with curved eyebrows, "I am happy too. The young lady finally married the right person."
yes.
Pei Zhouwu is the most worthy and best husband in the world.
The wedding was a grand affair, attracting half the city's people to come and watch the ceremony, and no one knew how much money was spent on the wedding gifts.
After the bridal sedan had been driven out of the palace to exorcise the evil spirits, it set off from the father-in-law’s residence.
When we arrived at the Shen family, there was a lot of commotion at the door.
Then the bride will have her face made up and change her makeup and hairstyle, symbolizing welcoming a brand new life.
When the bride is taken to the groom's home, she will be welcomed by the wedding ceremony.
This was followed by a banquet for the guests.
Liu Fuying stayed quietly in the bridal chamber, waiting for Pei Zhouwu to come and take off her veil.
All in all, this was her second wedding with Pei Zhouwu.
Her mood was different, and the inexplicable tension tormented her the whole day.
When my waist and head were sore from sitting, Pei Zhouwu finally came.
According to custom, they could not see each other for three days before marriage, but after not seeing each other for a few days, she actually missed him a lot.
She could feel Pei Zhouwu slowly walking towards her, but she held her breath and waited for a long time, but Pei Zhouwu did not make a move to lift her veil.
She couldn't help but become more nervous.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement. When she was about to ask, Pei Zhouwu suddenly picked her up and carried her out of the bridal chamber.
"Husband."
Liu Fuying's heart was beating fast, and she had no idea what he wanted to do.
"Where are we going?"
Pei Zhouwu replied softly as if to comfort her: "You will know in a moment."
After leaving Pei Mansion, Pei Zhouwu carried her to a carriage. After they were seated, she was eager to tear off her veil but was stopped by Pei Zhouwu.
"What are you doing? It's your husband's job to lift the veil. Wait until we get to the bridal chamber. Don't be impatient."
"To the bridal chamber?"
In an instant, Liu Fuying seemed to guess where he was going to take her.
The carriage soon set off slowly, passing through the crowded long street, out of the city gate, then turned into the mountain road and went up along the winding dirt road.
He must be going to Xiangshan.
Liu Fuying smiled secretly under the veil, happily laughing at Pei Zhouwu's persistence in his original intention.
When they arrived at the place, Pei Zhouwu carried Liu Fuying off the carriage again, and finally entered the house with her heart pounding. The familiar feeling swept over her whole body even though she had never seen it with her own eyes, and she couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body.
"Hina."
Pei Zhouwu's gentle voice brought her back to her somewhat impatient mind.
"I finally...finally became your real husband."
Then, the red veil was slowly lifted up. Under the dim candlelight, only Pei Zhouwu's eyes were still as bright as they were at the beginning.
Waves of throbbing crept into Liu Fuying's heart.
The familiar room, the familiar bamboo house, the strong feeling was even more overwhelming than when I saw the bamboo house in Yunnan.
There were wedding candles lit in the room, and there were many window decorations pasted on the windows. There were red decorations hung everywhere, making it very festive.
This time, there is also a wedding quilt.
This is the real wedding room, the real bridal chamber.
"Husband."
Liu Fuying's eyes were red and she reached out to hug Pei Zhouwu's waist. As it was a wedding night, she resisted the urge to cry.
"Husband, you..."
Just as he opened his mouth, the door was suddenly pushed open and two little idiots rushed in.
Pei Xi'an and Pei Xiyun are here too!
"Daddy, Mommy!"
The two children were also dressed festively and ran into the house happily, disturbing the warmth that had just risen in Liu Fuying's heart.
"Why are they here?" Liu Fuying asked.
Pei Zhou Wu smiled at the two children and replied to Liu Fuying, "I plan to stay in Xiangshan for a while longer, so I brought them here."
"But……"
Liu Fuying glared at Pei Zhouwu with some resentment. She has always been a pervert. He knew that the child could be delivered at any time, so why bother to disturb her wedding night tonight?
She stood up, grabbed the two children in each hand and went out the door.
"See that room in front? You two stay there and don't move around. I don't want to scold you when I'm happiest. Do you understand?"
The two children nodded in unison to show that they understood.
"Go ahead."
There is a nanny looking after the child in front, so he won’t run around and get lost at night.
When Liu Fuying closed the door, bolted it and prepared to turn around, his back suddenly hit a strong chest.
"Hina."
Pei Zhouwu's voice sounded somewhat emotional.
"Tonight, I won't advise you to be moderate. You can do whatever you want, okay?"
As he spoke, his breath slowly reached Liu Fuying's neck.
However, a slight breath immediately aroused the burning heat in Liu Fuying's heart that she could not hide. She pressed close to Pei Zhouwu's chest and whispered a word back.
"good."
Soon, the whole dress fell to the ground.
Liu Fuying was carried to the bamboo bed. The breeze came in through the wide-open window in front of the bed. The moon was looming in the clouds, but he didn't dare to stick his head out to disturb the spring scenery in the room.
That summer, the fireflies kept flying around, coming and going.
Fireflies like to live in places with lush grass and moisture.
That year, Su Yueying left and then returned, and finally found the place that was most suitable for her to live.
That is beside Pei Zhouwu.
