"Please wait a moment."
Su Xuening said something to Ye Feng and Ye Yun, then bowed to Pei Luo: "Please take a seat, Master."
Pei Luo readily agreed and returned to his seat in the main hall.
Su Xuening knelt before Pei Luo, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "Master, your disciple is about to leave. I will not be able to take care of you every day from now on. I hope you will take good care of yourself."
Pei Luo's eyes also reddened instantly. This was the first apprentice he had ever taken in. She was so intelligent, clever, obedient, and kind. Today, she was getting married. It felt like tearing out his heart and soul.
This time, he truly experienced the heartache of marrying off his daughter.
Pei Luo blinked, wiping away the tears in her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't care who you marry, no matter how noble their status is, or what great rules their family has. I just want to say, don't wrong yourself. No matter what, I will always be your strongest support. If you are wronged, come back anytime, and I will stand up for you."
Tears streamed uncontrollably down Su Xuening's face.
"Thank you, Master. Your disciple bids farewell."
Su Xuening reluctantly kowtowed three times to Pei Luo.
Pei Luo was also reluctant to part with her, but he knew he couldn't change her mind: "Go, I wish you all the best and that all your wishes come true!"
"Thank you, Master."
Su Xuening choked out a sentence before being helped to her feet by Bihe and Lülian.
Seeing this, the matchmaker rushed over, wanting to carry Su Xuening to the bridal sedan chair, but Su Yun'an beat her to it, saying, "I'll carry my sister."
Everyone was stunned, and they were all a little worried looking at Su Yun'an's small frame.
The young master is only seven years old and so thin, how could he possibly carry the young lady on his back?
Although the young lady isn't fat, her wedding dress and golden phoenix headdress must weigh a ton.
Su Xuening shared the same concern, and tenderly touched Su Yun'an's little face: "Let the matchmaker carry me, you can't carry me."
“Who said I can’t carry it? I practiced yesterday, I can carry it,” Su Yun’an said very seriously.
He carried sandbags all day yesterday, so he can definitely carry his sister.
Su Xuening's nose tingled again, and she hugged Su Yun'an with heartache.
"Let him carry it," Pei Luo suddenly said.
Su Xuening raised her head in surprise, but could not see Pei Luo's expression.
"I believe in my teacher; he can do it."
Pei Luo's assurance put Su Xuening at ease.
"Alright." Su Xuening patted Su Yun'an's head: "Then Yun'an will carry me to the bridal sedan chair."
"Mmm." Su Yun'an was pleased and immediately turned his back to Su Xuening.
Su Xuening carefully climbed onto Su Yun'an's back.
Su Yun'an carried Su Xuening on his back with some difficulty. Su Xuening didn't dare to press down on Su Yun'an too hard. In just a moment, Su Xuening felt a force lifting her up.
Without even thinking, Su Xuening knew that it must have been her master who had made the move, and she immediately smiled and hugged Su Yun'an's neck with relief.
Su Yun'an also felt that his sister was much lighter than he had imagined, and said happily, "I told you I could carry my sister."
Pei Luo used just the right amount of internal force to lift Su Yun'an, ensuring that Su Yun'an had enough strength without being unable to carry him.
At this moment, Su Yun'an was completely unaware that Pei Luo was secretly helping him. Step by step, he carried Su Xuening out of the main hall.
Bihe and Lülian, along with the matchmaker, stood protectively on either side, afraid that the two might fall. Pei Luo silently followed behind them.
Ye Feng and Ye Yun realized that Pei Luo was highly skilled in martial arts, so they were no longer worried and led the way.
"Yun'an, from now on, when your sister isn't around, you must listen to your master's words." Su Xuening hugged Su Yun'an and whispered her instructions.
The closer Su Yun'an got to the bridal sedan chair, the more reluctant she became. Her eyes reddened as she said, "I know, sister, don't worry about me. I will definitely learn martial arts well from my master and protect mother and sister in the future."
"Yun'an, be good." Su Xuening choked out.
Her Yun'an, such a well-behaved and sensible child, was violated and murdered by those people in her past life.
In this life, she will not only protect him, but also make those who harmed him pay for their crimes in blood!
Hearing the unusual tone in Su Xuening's voice, Su Yun'an felt even more distressed: "Sister, don't be sad. If he bullies you, just tell me. Once I learn martial arts, I'll help you beat him up!"
"Mmm," Su Xuening responded in a muffled voice, afraid to speak for fear of bursting into tears.
Su Yun'an carried Su Xuening out of the General's Mansion step by step.
The onlookers were quite surprised to see that it was Su Yun'an who carried Su Xuening out.
"Why did the young master of the Su family recite it?"
"Yes, he can even carry such a thin and weak child."
"Poor Miss Su has no elders in her family, not even an older brother, just a seven-year-old younger brother."
When they arrived at the bridal sedan chair, Bihe and Lülian helped Su Xuening into the sedan chair together.
"Lift the sedan chair and welcome the Princess back to the palace."
As soon as Ye Yun sang in response, the firecrackers and cannons at the entrance of the General's Mansion went off, and the wedding procession from the Holy King's Mansion began to play celebratory music.
Ye Feng and Ye Yun led the wedding procession from the Holy King's Mansion to the Holy King's Mansion.
The Prince's Mansion and the General's Mansion are very close; they only need to cross East Street. The Dowager Consort specifically instructed that there was no need to go out and take a detour. The most important thing today is to welcome the Princess Consort safely into the mansion as soon as possible.
As the bridal sedan chair left the General's Mansion, Su Yun'an finally couldn't hold back her tears.
"elder sister……"
Su Yun'an chased after the bridal sedan chair while crying.
Inside the bridal sedan chair, Su Xuening, hearing Su Yun'an's cries, also wept uncontrollably.
As the bridal sedan chair receded into the distance, Su Yun'an truly felt alone.
His father passed away, his mother disappeared, his sister got married, and all his relatives left him. From then on, he was the only one left in the General's Mansion.
"Yun'an, don't let your sister leave in peace." Pei Luo came over and hugged Su Yun'an, stopping him from chasing the bridal sedan chair.
"Master." Su Yun'an buried her face in Pei Luo's arms and cried silently.
After turning the corner, Su Xuening wiped away her tears and asked Bihe and Lülian, who were following her, "Is the bridal sedan chair that came from the Holy King's Mansion to fetch the bride the same as the one that Consort Su sent yesterday?"
Green Lotus replied softly, "It's different. The bridal sedan chair that came to fetch the bride today is different from the one I saw at the Holy King's Mansion yesterday. The Holy King's Mansion must have changed the bridal sedan chair."
Yesterday, Miss had specifically asked her to pay attention to the bridal sedan chair at the Holy Prince's Mansion. Indeed, just as Miss thought, the bridal sedan chair at the Holy Prince's Mansion was exactly the same as the one Consort Su had given to Miss. However, the bridal sedan chair that came to fetch the bride today was not the one she had seen yesterday.
Su Xuening felt a little relieved. It seemed that the Dowager Consort had really understood her meaning and had specially changed the bridal sedan chair.
As long as the Dowager Consort understands Consort Su's intentions, Consort Su's plan will not succeed.
As Su Xuening was thinking, the bridal sedan chair suddenly stopped.
Just as Su Xuening was wondering, she heard Green Lotus nervously report: "Miss, we have arrived at Bright Moon Lake. Ahead is the Third Prince's wedding procession, and that is Miss Zhao's bridal sedan chair."
