Suddenly a man appeared, no one knew him, and everyone looked at him.
Linlang was the quickest to react. "Husband, this is your classmate, right? Since he's here to congratulate you, please invite him in."
Rong Yi had already walked over and said, "Since he is my brother-in-law's classmate, he came all the way here to congratulate me. It shows that he and my brother-in-law have a deep relationship.
There were some delays, and the wedding was a bit rushed, so I missed a lot of relatives and friends. I hope you don’t mind. What’s your name, sir?”
"Sorry for being rude. My last name is Chen, and my Chinese character is Dong." Chen Dong then called out "brother-in-law."
Rong Yi smiled awkwardly, "You don't mind."
"Hey, Brother Xiao and I are as close as brothers. His elder brother-in-law is my elder brother-in-law." After Chen Dong said this, he found that his brother's eyes were very sharp.
He quickly changed his tone, "I was just kidding."
Rong Yi took him to the main table. Chen Dong bowed to Rong Bowen and said, "Uncle, thank you for saving Brother Xiao's life and marrying your daughter to him. He lost his parents when he was young, and now he finally has a family. I am happy for him."
Chen Dong raised his glass and said, "Uncle, I toast you."
"My dear nephew, you are too polite." Rong Bowen drank the glass of wine, asked Chen Dong to sit down, welcomed his arrival, and the two drank another glass.
Rong Yi immediately filled his glass and toasted Chen Dong, welcoming him to the wedding.
After three cups, Chen Dong felt a little dizzy, his face flushed, as red as a monkey's butt. Scholars rarely drink, so their alcohol tolerance is low.
The father and son looked at each other and decided to try again to take him down.
So, the father and son took turns, with Rong Yi saying, "Chen Dong, you are so loyal, I must toast you a glass of wine." Rong Bowen apologized for not inviting him to the wedding, so let's have a drink together, uncle and nephew.
You drink a glass, I drink a glass, and before Chen Dong could say a word to A Mu, he was drunk and fell down.
On the other side, Amu and Linlang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They knew nothing about Chen Dong and it would be easy for them to be exposed.
The wedding banquet went smoothly. After the guests had left, the neighbors distributed the remaining dishes and returned the tables, chairs, benches, and dishes. Then, Rong's father and son helped Chen Dong into the room where Amu had slept before.
Linlang asked Ah Mu to take Mo'er somewhere else to play, took out a bottle of powder, and asked Chen Dong to inhale some. "Okay, you can start asking questions."
The father and son of the Rong family asked Linlang to record it and let Amu memorize it thoroughly in a while, and there must not be any mistakes.
Rong Bowen had previously investigated and knew that Xiao Yushu had a classmate who was a good friend, but the boy never showed up after the incident. Thinking that their relationship wasn't that close, he didn't take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, he came to the wedding.
Rong Bowen asked him, "Where were you when Xiao Yushu's house caught fire and he was almost burned to death?"
Chen Dong burst into tears. "I'm so sorry, Brother Xiao. I shouldn't have left. I heard that the young master had unfortunately passed away. He was my idol. I was so sad that I went to the official road to the capital to see him off."
"Who knew I'd just heard about Brother Xiao's story when I returned to the county? I made inquiries and found out he was rescued. It wasn't until I entered Lu'er Town that I heard Brother Xiao was getting married today. It's all my fault for being late."
She spoke so sincerely that she cried until her nose was full of snot.
Linlang recorded it in great detail, but she thought to herself, "That young master is truly outstanding. So many people admire him. What a pity! God is jealous of his talent."
Chen Dong also admired Xiao Yushu. He was good at studying and upright, but a little serious. He didn't like to go out and socialize. He either went to the academy to study or stayed at home reading. He was simply a nerd.
He also said, "Brother Xiao used to always like to hide his face with his hair, even preventing me from looking at him. I never expected him to be so handsome. He is truly as handsome as jade, and a peerless young man."
Originally, Xiao Yushu used her hair to cover her face because she had a large birthmark on her face and was afraid of scaring others, so she felt a little inferior.
Rong Bowen and Rong Yi asked very detailed questions about the situation of the academy, the surrounding neighbors, etc., asking about every detail.
After hearing what Chen Dong said, Linlang sighed, fortunately Xiao Yushu lived a secluded life, was introverted, and had contact with very few people.
Linlang handed the record booklet to Amu. "It was a false alarm, but we still got so much information. It's a good deal."
"I'm sorry to have troubled my father and brother for my sake." If the truth is revealed, the Rong family will be in trouble and will have to go to jail.
Amu knew it was not a false alarm, it was really dangerous.
"I will definitely memorize the contents above."
In the future, I will meet many people who know Xiao Yushu, and I must learn to adapt to circumstances.
Amu definitely looks different from Xiao Yushu. After everyone agreed, the unanimous explanation was that the fire destroyed his appearance, and after the surgery, he became like this.
Moreover, the fire caused great harm to Amu and caused memory loss, and he could not remember many things.
They hoped he could come out of the darkness, so they gave him the nickname Amu.
Chen Dong sobered up, and A Mu offered him some warm water. "Brother Chen, this happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to tell you. I'm really sorry."
"Alas, if my father hadn't brought me back and my wife's superb medical skills hadn't saved me, you and I would have been separated."
Amu drank some wine today and was a little tired, so his voice became a little hoarse and sounded a little sad.
"Brother Chen, a fire changed my appearance and made me forget many things and people from the past. Fortunately, my father took me in, allowed me to marry my wife, and gave me a home."
Chen Dong burst into tears after hearing this. "Brother Xiao, you will surely be blessed in the future after surviving such a great disaster. Your skin is just a shell, not as important as your life. As long as you're alive, that's all that matters. Besides, you should look pretty much the same now as before. You're truly a handsome man. I'm jealous of you."
"Just forget about the unimportant people and things, but Brother Xiao, please don't forget me."
"No." Amu said sincerely, "If anyone can't remember it in the future, please give it to them, Brother Chen."
Chen Dong was happy, "Of course."
Seeing that the Rong family treated Ah Mu very well, he was naturally happy for his brother. "Brother Xiao, this can be considered a blessing in disguise. It can be seen that your father-in-law and his family value you very much. Your sister-in-law is gentle and virtuous and also knows medicine. Brother Xiao is a blessed man."
"Yes, it's a blessing in disguise. Dad and Big Brother are really good to me. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are my parents again. Linlang is my wife and my savior. Without her, I wouldn't be who I am today."
Ah Mu sighed, "I really have no way to repay you."
Chen Dong disagreed. "Brother Xiao, you have pledged your love to me, which is a way of repaying my kindness. In next month's Tongsheng exam, it should be a sure thing that Brother Xiao will pass the exam and become a scholar. After that, you can take the provincial exam and maybe pass it, which can also be considered as repaying my kindness."
Amu married into the Rong family. No matter whether he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar or a juren, not only he himself would benefit, but also the Rong family. As the tide rises, so too would the boats.
Ah Mu agreed, "Brother Chen is right. I don't have any other skills, so I can only take the imperial examination. I have forgotten a lot of things before. Regarding the Tongsheng examination, I still need Brother Chen's help."
Chen Dong was the most righteous person. "Leave it to me. I'll go back to the academy in a couple of days and explain your situation. It won't delay your exam."
"Thank you very much, Brother Chen."
