Chapter 119
Yu Ying has been feeling a bit irritable these days, but it’s not because of the clinic’s business.
The clinic has been operating stably for a few days since it opened, with reservations on the second floor for the morning and afternoon, so there's no need to worry too much.
What made her a little irritated was Fu Wei.
She agreed to be his real wife, but she didn't know what he was thinking.
Fu Wei has been acting a little strange these days.
He was busy every day at the yamen, so he always came back half an hour late, and when he came back he always went straight into his study.
The clinic was busy during the day and she was a little tired. She often fell asleep as soon as she lay down, so apart from sleeping together these days, they rarely talked.
After a few days, Yu Ying could sense that Fu Wei was avoiding her.
What are you hiding from?
After thinking about it for a long time, Yu Ying seemed to guess why Fu Wei did this.
They were not officially married, so how could he and her be husband and wife?
His behavior these days was probably because he almost had sex with her that night, and was afraid that he could no longer control himself?
After Yu Ying figured it out, she felt helpless, but also puzzled. Logically, after she agreed to get married, Fu Wei should have discussed the matter of worshiping heaven and earth with her very quickly.
But why is there no movement at all now?
For Yu Ying, whether or not she and Fu Wei had a formal wedding ceremony would not affect anything. Love cannot be maintained by a wedding ceremony or a marriage certificate.
But Fu Wei cares about it because he cherishes it.
It is impossible for Fu Wei to not take any action.
Yu Ying secretly speculated that maybe Fu Wei was preparing something in private now.
Thinking of this, Yu Ying suddenly understood.
After understanding, a smile appeared on his face and he looked towards the study.
*
March and April are relatively humid, so Yu Ying stewed red bean and lotus seed soup to remove dampness.
Yu Ying filled a bowl and sent it to Fu Wei.
After knocking on the door and entering the room, Fu Wei was reading a scroll of bamboo slips. When she came in, he put the scrolls down and turned to look at her.
"I made some sweet soup, and since you didn't come out, I brought it in for you." She glanced at the bamboo slips on the table and deliberately asked, "Why have you been so busy these days?"
Fu Wei lowered his head and looked at the bamboo slips he had picked up when he heard the knock on the door. He replied, "The government office is busy with a lot of things."
Fu Wei can pretend to be nice to others without showing off, but he feels a little unnatural in front of Yu Ying.
Yu Ying saw through it but didn't say anything. She put the sweet soup on the table and said, "Drink the sweet soup first."
Fu Wei picked up the sweet soup and took two mouthfuls when Yu Ying walked behind him. The next moment, soft hands fell on his shoulders.
"You've been busy these past few days, your shoulders and neck must be tired. Let me give you a massage."
For some reason, Yu Ying suddenly felt like teasing him.
Fu Wei wanted to give her a surprise, so he couldn't tell her. However, he still said, "It's just some chores. It's not very tiring."
"Sometimes you don't even realize how tired you are. How about going back to your room, taking off your upper body clothes, and I'll give you an essential oil back massage?"
Fu Wei was stunned for a moment, and then Yu Ying seemed to want to tell him how to open his back. The hand on his shoulder suddenly slid to his back and slowly slid down from the sunken lumbar spine.
Fu Wei's back tensed instantly.
"After applying essential oil on your back, I will massage it like this, pushing it to both sides." As he spoke, he moved his palms toward the waist and abdomen.
Yu Ying had a faint smile on her face.
Fu Wei: ...
No, it felt like she wasn't telling him how to open his back, it seemed like she was doing it on purpose.
Following Yu Ying's actions, even a serious person like Fu Wei couldn't help but think about how the essential oil back massage was performed.
I've been avoiding her lately because I'm afraid I'll lose control in a moment of emotion.
His eyes darkened, and then he said in a hoarse voice, "Don't bother me. I won't have to stay on duty after these two days. Besides, you're tired at the clinic during the day, so don't worry about me."
Yu Ying withdrew her hand, leaned down, hugged him from behind, put her arms around his shoulders and neck, imitated the way he usually hugged her, rested her chin on his shoulder, and spoke in his ear.
"I feel sorry for you, how can I not care?"
A warm breath brushed against her ear, and Yu Ying felt that Fu Wei's body was even more tense than before.
He had left her hanging.
Yu Ying curled the corners of her lips, then stood up and said, "Then I'll give you another massage in a few days. You'd better finish it sooner and rest earlier."
Having said that, he walked out of the house.
Fu Wei was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. He looked towards the study door and thought that he could just endure it for two more days.
The name on the marriage certificate cannot be changed, but the marriage is with her.
Fu Wei lowered his eyes, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
*
Perhaps it was because the wife of the county magistrate, Madam Chen, and some wives of the aristocratic families and merchants who had received treatment by Yu Ying introduced them to their own small circles, so the business on the second floor of the clinic became better and better.
However, since she has to see patients at the same time, she can only accept one reservation each in the morning and afternoon.
After finishing their busy work, Yu Ying went home with her sister-in-law and Fu An.
When we returned to the alley, the neighbors there asked curiously, "Madam Yu, are you planning to have a happy event?"
Yu Ying was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
The neighbor said, "Mr. Fu came back at noon today with quite a few people and a lot of stuff on his back."
Wen Xing, who was standing by, was also confused and whispered, "I haven't heard anyone is being invited to the banquet yet?"
Yu Ying seemed to have thought of something, and a faint smile appeared in her eyes.
Wen Xing saw her sister-in-law laughing, so she asked, "Sister-in-law, do you know what's going on?"
Yu Ying shook her head: "You'll know when we get back."
After saying that, he walked towards his home. When he knocked on the gate, it was Wu Xiaoyacha who came to open the door.
Seeing Yu Ying, he grinned and said, "Congratulations, Madam Yu!"
Wen Xing and Fu An were both stunned.
Several people walked into the yard, which was decorated with lights and colorful banners. There were big happy characters posted in the yard and red lanterns hung up. It was obvious that someone was getting married.
There were several yamen runners helping in the yard, including Luo Dianshi and Huo Yachai.
When they saw Yu Ying, they all smiled and congratulated her: "Congratulations, Madam Yu."
Wen Xing and her son were so surprised to see the festive atmosphere in the yard that they opened their mouths slightly. When they heard what the yamen runners said, they had no idea what was going on.
Wen Xing saw her mother-in-law busy in the kitchen and hurried over to ask, "Mother, who's getting married?"
Luo looked up and smiled, "Who else could it be?"
Looking out, she saw her second daughter-in-law coming back and waved hurriedly, "Sixth Mother, come here quickly."
Yu Ying walked over.
Wen Xing reacted immediately: "Second brother and sister-in-law?!"
Mrs. Luo nodded and said, "Erlang said that he and Liuniang didn't have a complete wedding ceremony, and he couldn't let her down, so he had to plan a wedding. But it wouldn't be a big one. He'd just have the ceremony in the hall, and then invite the neighbors and the He family over for a meal."
At this point, he smiled helplessly and said, "Da Lang and Er Lang hid it from us all. I was really scared by the big scene just now."
Huo Yacha's wife, who was helping in the kitchen, heard this and laughed, "I thought Mr. Fu had discussed this with you guys, but I never thought he'd kept it a secret from you."
Although Yu Ying had already guessed it, she felt warm in her heart when she looked at the festive scene outside the yard.
Her hidden danger always makes people feel at ease.
Everyone looked at Yu Ying, wanting to see her reaction. Seeing the smile in her eyes, they knew she was surprised.
At this time, Mrs. Huo put down her work, pulled Yu Ying over, and said, "Bride, wash up and change into your wedding dress quickly."
Fu An looked around: "Grandma, where is my uncle?"
Luo: "You are changing into your wedding clothes in your study."
Yu Ying was dragged over by several women to wash and dress.
Knowing when she came back, the hot water was already ready, and Mrs. Huo and the other two ladies urged her to take a bath.
As soon as Yu Ying came out of the bath, several ladies pressed her down in front of the table to draw her eyebrows and lips.
A lady said, "Madam Yu, the spots on your face are really getting lighter. Once you cover them up with powder, my goodness, you're so beautiful."
"Don't tell me, Madam Yu is like this. Mr. Fu would definitely lose his bearings if he saw her like this."
Yu Ying smiled indifferently. It was not like Fu Wei had never seen her without spots before.
Yu Ying put a layer of powder on her face to cover up the light spots, and applied a thin layer of blush, and then added a bright red lipstick.
After putting on the makeup, the spots disappeared and her hair was no longer in a simple bun. She looked like a lively young woman, and it was no wonder that the women were surprised.
Thinking of the wedding tonight, I feel a little envious.
Everyone couldn't help but think that there were countless girls in this world who were sent to their husband's homes with only a few sets of clothes, but Mr. Fu still wanted to pay his respects to Madam Yu in a proper way, so he must have attached great importance to her.
After she changed into her green wedding gown, Mrs. Huo brought Yu Ying a round fan and said, "The auspicious time hasn't arrived yet. Please wait."
After they finished with Yu Ying's affairs, they went out to help with other matters. When they reached the door, Yu Ying heard Madam Huo and Fu Wei say, "Mr. Fu, it's not customary for the bride and groom to see each other before the ceremony of worshipping heaven and earth."
Yu Ying couldn't help laughing in the room. She and Fu Wei had been living together for more than half a year. They were almost an old couple, and they were still the bride and groom.
After calming down, Yu Ying looked around the room.
The whole room was filled with festive red, which showed how much effort Fu Wei had put into planning this wedding.
After sitting in meditation for a while, Mrs. Huo came in and said that the auspicious time had arrived.
Yu Ying was originally calm, but when she was about to go out, she became a little nervous.
After all, this is the first time I’m getting married in two lifetimes, how could I not feel nervous at all?
Because Fu Wei was sitting on a plain carriage, Yu Ying's eyes quickly met his, and the two smiled at each other.
After the wedding ceremony, Yu Ying was sent back to the house, along with Fu Wei.
A cup of wedding wine completes the ceremony.
Outside, people were drinking and feasting. After Yu Ying put down her wine glass, she smiled and said, "If you don't explain, I'll be dragged off to be a bride the moment I get back from work. Aren't you afraid that I'll suddenly change my mind and not marry you?"
Fu Wei looked at her, his eyes filled with endless smiles: "You wouldn't, and you guessed it, didn't you?"
Yes, they both knew that the other knew, but neither of them pointed it out.
Fu Wei reached out his hand and placed it on her cheek, his eyes full of affection, his voice low and gentle: "Ah Ying, I finally married you, I'm very happy."
Yu Ying tilted her head and rubbed his palm lightly.
At this time, someone outside shouted: "The groom can't hide, he has to come out and toast!"
After shouting, someone else followed suit.
Yu Ying pushed Fu Wei out of the door and said, "You can go now. Drink less."
Not long after Fu Wei left, Luo brought in some food. Looking at her second daughter-in-law, her eyes somehow became red.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Luo held her hand, her voice choking with sobs, "Sixth Mother, thank you... thank you so much. If it weren't for you, how could the Fu family be in this state? You are our family's benefactor. Without you, the Fu family would surely fall apart."
At this point, his eyes were already filled with tears and he hugged her tightly.
Yu Ying raised her hand and gently patted Luo's back.
Luo's voice became increasingly choked with sobs. She held back her tears and whispered, "I've always known you're not Liu Niang. But no matter who you are, I hope you'll be well for the rest of your life, free from illness, pain, and disaster, and live a happy and fulfilling life."
When Yu Ying heard this, her eyes turned slightly red, but there was a smile on her lips.
"Don't worry, mother. I will live a peaceful life."
Luo let her go, quickly turned around and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "Look at me, why are you crying on your wedding day? I made a fool of myself by letting you watch me."
Mrs. Luo’s words reminded Yu Ying of her mother.
If she gets married, her mother will probably say the same thing.
With a gentle expression, she took Luo's hand and leaned lightly on her shoulder, craving the motherly love at this moment.
After a while, she whispered, "Mother, this is my home. No need to thank me too much."
Mrs. Luo embraced her daughter-in-law with tenderness in her eyes.
"Ah Ying, take care of yourself."
Yu Ying was stunned and a little surprised: "Mother, you..."
Luo hushed softly and explained, "When you were sick after the hurricane last year, you talked in your sleep, and I knew it then."
Although Erlang was taking care of her at that time, when he was wiping her body, Erlang still asked Uncle He to carry him out.
Luo was the one who heard it.
She cried and shouted that she was Yu Ying, not Yu Liuniang.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat for a long time. Mrs. Luo had to go out to entertain the neighbors, so she went out.
As night fell, the banquet ended.
After the neighbors helped to clean up and sent the last guests away, Fu Wei stood up from the sedan chair, washed off the smell of alcohol, and brought hot water back to the house for Yu Ying to wash.
Yu Ying removed her makeup and washed away the spots on her face. With good care, her skin became even whiter and more delicate than when she first arrived.
The two of them sat on the bed without knowing when. Fu Wei loosened her bun, and her black hair fell down, not only curly but also very soft.
The loose black hair covered her face as big as a palm.
Fu Wei's palm slowly stroked down from the top of her hair, and when it reached below her ear, the tip of his thumb landed on her lips. The next moment, before Yu Ying could react, he was pressed down.
As they exchanged kisses and tongues, the wedding dress was gradually thrown off, and through the curtains, the strong arms supporting the bed could be vaguely seen.
Fu Wei shouted in a suppressed voice: "Aying, Aying, Aying..."
With each shout, his voice would become heavier, as if he wanted to completely absorb her into his body.
He finally got what he wanted, his Ah Ying.
