The matchmaker was stunned when she saw the bride's face, then let out a shrill scream: "Ahhh, who are you? Where is the bride? Where did you take the bride?"
A servant standing nearby exclaimed in fright, "Second Miss? Isn't it the eldest young lady who's getting married today?"
Everyone's eyes lit up. My God, what an amazing development!
At Liang Zhuo's prompting, Yu'er quickly stepped forward to help Shen Shu put the veil down and whispered a reminder: "The auspicious time has arrived. The young master and young lady should hurry up and complete the wedding ceremony. It won't be good if it's too late."
Shen Shu's heart tightened. Realizing that she had replaced her sister, she panicked and said, "Brother Wei, let's hurry up and get married."
Although Wei Congwen didn't know why things had turned out this way, he was both flustered and overjoyed. But as long as the bride was Shen Shu, he was willing to go through with the marriage.
There was no need for a matchmaker anymore. He took the red silk and held hands with Shen Shu, gently leading her into the house.
The undisguised joy on his face was completely different from before, and those who had just witnessed a spectacular show finally realized what was going on.
"The bride was in love with the second daughter of the Shen family and did not want to marry the older sister, so she was prepared to refuse the marriage in public. However, she did not expect that the younger sister was in the sedan chair, so the marriage could continue."
"What is this? Sisters serving each other?"
"Serving together my foot! There's only one bride here."
"What about Miss Shen?"
"Yes, what about the young lady? What's going on with this marriage? Is it a bride swap?"
With Liang Zhuo tightly covering his mouth, Shen Yu watched helplessly as Shen Shu entered the Wei family's gate. His shock was no less than anyone else's. It was supposed to be his older sister's wedding, but it turned out to be his second sister's wedding. Where was his older sister?
Liang Zhuo's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Young Master, the Second Miss and Young Master Wei are truly in love. She is also your sister. Are you willing to ruin her wedding day?"
Shen Yu doesn't care about being reluctant to part with someone; the problem is that people have changed.
Meanwhile, the Wei couple sat in the main hall waiting for the newlyweds to come and pay their respects. Perhaps the events at the door were too shocking, as none of them had yet processed what had happened, and no one told the Wei couple that the bride had been replaced.
"The newlyweds bow to heaven and earth!"
"Bowing to the parents twice!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
The Wei couple were very pleased to see their son obediently bowing to the wedding ceremony with a happy expression on his face, feeling that their son had finally come to his senses.
"The ceremony is complete! Proceed to the bridal chamber!"
"Wait!"
A cold shout, sharp and piercing, shattered the festive atmosphere.
Everyone turned to look, and saw a woman in a pomegranate-colored skirt walking briskly towards them. Her face was as cold as frost, and her eyes were sharp. Many people recognized her instantly.
"It's Miss Shen, the bride!"
"Miss Shen has finally arrived, and look at that expression... she's got a murderous aura about her!"
"Wow, today is getting more and more exciting!"
Every family has a wedding, but a wedding as spectacular as this is quite rare. Today's wedding was even more amazing than their trip to the theater.
Wei Changgeng and his wife were instantly startled and stood up: "Ning girl?! What happened to you...?"
His gaze abruptly shifted to the bride, who was covered by a veil, and he roared, "Who are you?"
Without a second thought, Madam Wei lifted the veil, and was stunned when she saw the woman's face: "Chen Shu?"
Shen Shu lowered her head, not daring to utter a sound, clutching Wei Congwen's sleeve with one hand, her back to everyone, trembling.
Shen Ning led her people to the front of the hall, her anger undisguised. However, she did not cause a scene, but instead bowed deeply to the Wei family couple: "Uncle, Aunt, please forgive my Shen family for not being strict with its discipline, which has produced such an unruly brat."
After finishing his prayers, he shouted at the receding figure, "Chen Shu, come here!"
Shen Ning's expression was quite frightening. Knowing she was in the wrong, Shen Shu immediately hid behind Wei Congwen, not daring to look at Shen Ning.
Wei Congwen, protecting his beloved woman, straightened his back slightly and said proudly, "Shu'er and I have already completed our wedding ceremony. Now she is my wife!"
Shen Ning frowned: "You're being unreasonable because she's being unreasonable? Can a wife be betrothed with proper betrothal rites and vows be replaced by your sister?"
Everyone nodded: "Exactly, where would you get such a courtesy?"
"This young lady is clearly unaware of the situation; she was outsmarted by her younger sister?"
"Could it be that Young Master Wei has an affair with this younger sister and they are plotting against her?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Congwen instantly flew into a rage: "Shut up!"
He swept his gaze threateningly around, finally fixing his disgusted look on Shen Ning: "A woman as cunning and mercenary as you is not worthy of being my wife. The only woman I want to marry is Shu'er. Whether you agree or not, I will marry only Shu'er today!"
Wei Changgeng nearly died of anger: "You wretched child, don't talk nonsense! Don't you have any respect for your parents, any sense of propriety, righteousness, or shame?"
Madam Wei was furious. She looked at her son in disbelief, then at Shen Shu, who was cowering behind him and crying. Her vision blurred.
"No, you absolutely cannot marry her, I won't allow it! Get her back right now."
Wei Congwen noticed the tears behind his back and suddenly felt the courage to defy the world.
"Father, Mother, I will marry no one but her in this life. Besides, she has already married me and I have already sworn brotherhood. Please grant my wish!"
The Wei couple: "You unfilial son!"
It can't fulfill even a little bit.
"elder sister!"
Suddenly, Shen Shu emerged from behind Wei Congwen, knelt down, and pleaded tearfully, "Please, sister, grant me and Brother Wei our happiness!"
Shen Ning staggered back two steps in shock, heartbroken and incredulous: "To fulfill your wish? I've actually become the villain?"
Shen Ning pointed at her, her hand trembling: "Do you know what you're doing? You drugged me on our wedding day and got into the bridal sedan chair yourself. What do you take me for? Do you even consider me your older sister anymore?"
Shen Shu cried so pitifully, "Waaah, sister, I didn't want this to happen. I just wanted to marry the person I love. Is that wrong?"
The more heartache Wei Congwen felt for Shen Shu, the more resentment he showed when he looked at Shen Ning: "I have never liked you. It was you who insisted on clinging to the marriage. Even if Shu'er hadn't taken my place, I would never have married you."
Shen Ning was deeply shocked and remained silent for a long time. Her gaze was fixed on Shen Shu: "Are you really not coming home with me?"
Shen Shu pleaded, "Sister, please grant my wish and Brother Wei's blessing!"
Liang Zhuo stepped forward, his face mocking: "Why does Miss make a fool of herself? Second Miss and Young Master Wei are truly in love. As the eldest sister, why can't you stand to see your younger sister happy and insist on breaking them up?"
Shen Ning slowly turned her head, her expression dazed: "But...aren't you the one who loves Shen Shu in return?"
Liang Zhuo's expression changed: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Liu Ying, supporting Shen Ning, looked at him reproachfully: "Brother Liang, you're always seen hugging and embracing the Second Miss. We've seen it so many times. The Eldest Miss thinks you two are in love..."
Hugging and embracing? Wow, Wei Congwen must be green with envy right now.
