He lay there for nearly two hours before suddenly sitting up.
"I need to find Benefactor Su!"
He mumbled unconsciously, and before he could even wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, he hurriedly began packing his luggage.
But after searching the house for a long time, all he found was a small bundle.
After tidying everything up, Wu Wang hurriedly opened the door, only to find that it was already dark.
He hesitated at the door for a moment, put the things back inside, and turned to walk to the other side.
"Let's go say goodbye to the abbot first."
He muttered to himself and soon arrived at the abbot's door.
I knocked on the door and went in after receiving permission.
"Have you thought it through?" the abbot asked first.
"Mm." Wu Wang nodded.
The abbot pulled the man to his side and patted his head.
"If Benefactor Su doesn't want you, remember to come back. Love is something that, through the arduous cultivation within the temple, will eventually fade away."
Hearing the abbot's kind words, Wu Wang couldn't help but tear up. The tears he had just held back finally rolled down in large drops.
"Waaaaah... Abbot..."
Wu Wang pouted and cried bitterly, taking a long time to stop.
"Alright, alright, it's getting late now. Go back and get a good night's sleep, and head down the mountain first thing tomorrow morning!"
Once everyone had calmed down, the abbot patted Wuwang's hand and saw him out.
The next morning.
Wu Wang appeared at the temple gate early in the morning, still wearing his monk's robe, as there were no other clothes available in the temple.
Behind him, a group of monks bid him farewell.
Wu Wang's eyes were a little swollen. He politely declined his uncle's offer to accompany him down the mountain and left the temple alone with a small bundle slung over his shoulder.
...
The main gate of the Su residence.
"Young master, who are you looking for?"
Wu Wang nervously squeezed the bag in his hand.
"...This humble monk is looking for Benefactor Su."
The gatekeeper paused for a moment, then quickly smiled and nodded. "I'll go and inform them right away. Please wait a moment, young master."
Wu Wang responded, and one of the gatekeepers quickly ran inside.
Soon, Wuwang was invited into the mansion.
In the hall, Su Qinghe sat in the main seat, while Lin Xi and the others sat in a row next to her.
This was the scene that greeted Wu Wang as he entered, and he immediately became even more nervous.
"Greetings, Benefactor Su, and greetings to all gentlemen." He greeted them very politely.
Looking at Wu Wang, Lin Xi couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.
Su Qinghe waved to him kindly. "Little master, come and sit down."
"Thanks."
Wu Wang responded and slowly walked to the chair next to him and sat down.
After everyone was seated, Su Qinghe slowly began to speak.
"May I ask what brings you here today, young master?"
Wu Wang nervously clenched his hands, glanced at Su Qinghe's suitors, and found it difficult to speak.
Lin Xi and the others, being quite sensible, quickly made an excuse to leave.
"Can you tell me now?"
Wu Wang nodded and looked up at Su Qinghe seriously.
"Does what Benefactor Su once said to this humble monk still stand?"
"Of course, but I don't know which sentence you're referring to, little master?" Su Qinghe asked knowingly.
Hearing Su Qinghe's lack of denial, Wu Wang was overjoyed and slowly began to speak. "It's... taking responsibility..."
After he finished speaking, he looked at her somewhat nervously.
Su Qinghe nodded without hesitation. "Of course, as I said, if the young master wants, I will take responsibility."
Wu Wang smiled and nodded emphatically. "Mm!"
He was extremely anxious throughout the journey, but he never expected it to go so smoothly.
Seeing his undisguised joy, Su Qinghe was also happy.
"Is the abbot aware of this?"
Wu Wang nodded. "My senior brothers and uncles all know."
Su Qinghe smiled too. "Alright, I'll go back to the temple with you tomorrow."
Just then, Lin Xi and his group walked in from outside.
"My lady, when should we hold the wedding? So I can make the arrangements."
He sounded excited and grabbed Wuwang's hand.
"Good brother, from now on we are family!"
Wu Wang was somewhat flustered.
He was unaware that Lin Xi and the others were eavesdropping outside, and his face immediately turned pale.
"My lord, this humble monk..."
He stammered, unsure of what to say, and kept glancing anxiously at Su Qinghe.
Ji Yuan smiled gently at him.
"Since you have decided to return to secular life, you should no longer refer to yourself as a humble monk."
Wu Wang swirled his tongue in his mouth. "I..."
...
The next day, Su Qinghe and her family took Wuwang back to Lingyan Temple. After a conversation with the abbot, Wuwang was completely released from secular life.
The wedding banquet is scheduled for the middle of next month. Since Wu Wang has no family in the secular world and cannot get married from the temple, Su Qinghe arranged for someone to stay at her home.
Time flies, and before we knew it, it was time for the wedding banquet.
That day, the Su residence was brightly decorated and bustling with activity. Although everyone knew that Su Qinghe was a concubine, those who were supposed to come still did.
After several rounds of drinks, Su Qinghe steadily stepped into Qingqiu Pavilion.
The red candles flickered, their warm light illuminating the figure in red robes on the couch.
Hearing the door open, Wu Wang nervously clenched the bridal veil in his hand.
Su Qinghe skillfully lifted the man's red veil, and when she saw Wu Wang's face today, she couldn't help but hold her breath.
Wu Wang's eyebrows and eyes were already beautiful, and even without hair, her features looked extremely delicate. Today, with makeup on, she was even more stunning.
It has a cool and elegant feel, yet it is also charming, without being vulgar at all.
Su Qinghe was so engrossed in watching that she coughed softly after snapping out of it.
"She really is a beauty. It's a pity she became a monk. Luckily, she met me."
Hearing Su Qinghe's somewhat narcissistic words, Wu Wang blushed.
"Wife, wife master..."
He had silently repeated this name countless times as he sat here today, but even now, uttering it aloud still felt incredibly unfamiliar.
"Good husband."
Su Qinghe smiled and responded, which made Wu Wang feel his cheeks burning.
Outside, the wind was biting cold, but inside, the temperature was rising.
The lovely red candle was ruthlessly blown out halfway through its burning.
The alluring sounds inside the house vanished without a trace amidst the pouring rain outside...
