Chapter 64 Arranged Marriage
In the blink of an eye, the wedding date arrived as scheduled.
On her wedding day, Shen Yuanzhu washed and dressed early, waiting for Lady Quanfu to comb her hair.
Ye Yunyi led Madam Quanfu into the courtyard, and her face turned cold as soon as she saw Shen Yuanzhu.
These past two days, she has felt an intense hatred for Shen Yuanzhu whenever she thinks of her, but she dares not do anything out of line.
Shen Yanhuai was quite surprised when he learned that she had given Shen Yuanzhu 10,000 taels of silver as a dowry.
He even said privately that when Yuanqiong gets married in the future, she should be given the same amount.
God knows the unspeakable frustration she felt.
Now that Ye Yunyi has seen Shen Yuanzhu and seen the disgusting fake smile on her face, she really wants to go up and tear her face off.
"Sister-in-law is here?"
In the bronze mirror, Ye Yunyi's eyes were sinister, while Shen Yuanzhu smiled obediently at the person in the mirror.
After bringing in Madam Quanfu, Ye Yunyi, too lazy to engage in pleasantries with her, turned and left with a flick of her sleeve.
The wedding was a busy affair. After the bride had her hair combed and her face styled, it was time for the auspicious moment to pick up the bride.
Shen Yuanzhu sat in the room, holding a large red apple in her hands.
At this moment, she felt a strange sense of panic about the unknown.
For the ten years she was engaged to Xie Xuchuan, she always thought that her future husband would be the one who would grow up with her and become her support.
But now...
Her grip on the apple tightened slightly, and Shen Yuanzhu gently fanned away the thin layer of sweat that had appeared due to her worry.
The sound of gongs and drums outside the courtyard told her that the Xie family's wedding procession was about to arrive.
Just as I was getting nervous, I heard a series of hurried footsteps.
"Miss……"
Luo rushed over, and Shen Yuanzhu lifted the veil from her head.
"What happened?"
Luo's face was gloomy: "The wedding procession circled the streets, scattering candy and money, because they wanted to 'show off their wealth,' so they walked for a long time in front of the Shen and Xie families' shops."
"The people at Shen's shop said that the person who came to pick up the bride was not Xie Jingyuan at all, but Xie Qi, the second young master of the Xie family."
"Xie Qi?"
Shen Yuanzhu was taken aback, then frowned.
She lowered her eyes slightly, thinking about everything that had happened when Hua Nanzhi came to her home a few days ago to propose a marriage exchange.
She was too presumptuous; she didn't even think of Xie Qi, and under Hua Nanzhi's guidance, she chose Xie Jingyuan as the candidate.
Looking back now, all Hua Nanzhi said that day was that she would move into Xie Jingyuan's Qianxiang Courtyard after the marriage, and she never mentioned Xie Jingyuan again.
"Miss, what should we do? The wedding procession is about to arrive, but the Xie family is clearly trying to trick us into marriage. What should we do now? Should the marriage still go ahead?"
"Let's get married, why not?"
Shen Yuanzhu sighed: "After the marriage certificate was signed by both families, when Hua Nanzhi came to propose a marriage exchange, she separated me and Ye Yunyi. Now that I think about it, she was just deceiving both sides."
"I'm afraid I'm the only one in the whole world who doesn't know that the groom isn't Xie Jingyuan."
Shen Yuanzhu sneered: "The wedding sedan chair is about to enter the house, and Hua Nanzhi is certain that I won't dare to jump out and say that the groom is not Xie Jingyuan."
She had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.
Not only could she not cause trouble, but she also had to happily marry Xie Qi.
Madam Luo was so angry that she felt dizzy, but she also knew that her young lady was right.
She broke off her engagement with her older brother and remarried her younger brother. Her younger brother's bridal sedan chair had already arrived at her door. Could she possibly jump out and say she wanted to marry her uncle?
The Xie family!
Madam Luo said angrily, "Miss, do you think the new son-in-law knows about this?"
If the new son-in-law is of bad character and marries in someone else's name, that would be truly despicable.
