Li Ruo looked up, still a little dizzy. Had it worked?
Across from him, Xie Xiao saw her face, now flushed with fresh makeup, which made her look even more beautiful than before. Her slightly widened eyes were a little dazed and innocent, and Xie Xiao felt a tickle in his heart.
Amidst the cheers and shouts of his brothers, Xie Xiao quickly led the man back to the bridal chamber.
Li Ruo hadn't expected him to be so thoughtful; he had rearranged the house so much that she almost couldn't recognize it.
The room was divided into an inner room and an outer room. The outer room had a round table and tall stools. The place where the weapon rack was was replaced by a desk and bookshelves. Was this to prevent people from grabbing weapons and fighting if they disagreed, or did he want to become a cultured person and learn to read?
Next to the outer room, there was a small wooden hut. "Oh, it's a small kitchen! So I can cook whenever I want?" I can enjoy all the delicious food in the space.
"Do you like it?" Xie Xiao held her hand. "You can't cook, so I'll cook for you from now on."
"Really?" Li Ruo raised an eyebrow.
"Don't believe me?" Xie Xiao grinned. "Just don't eat your tongue."
Li Ruoxin thought to herself, "Why does this sound so familiar?"
Xie Xiao pulled her into the inner room, which was much warmer than the outer room. The kang (heated brick bed) was brand new, with red quilts and mattresses, a wardrobe covered with red paper, a table, chairs, a dressing table, a censer, a charcoal brazier, and a screen separating a small corner where there was a large bathtub.
Aside from the large bathtub, which was quite exquisite, there was even an incense burner and a copper lamp stand on the dressing table, but both of these items looked unused and were prepared for her.
Li Ruo's eyes widened.
"You were so busy dealing with Prince Jiangning those few days, yet you still had time to make such a thorough arrangement."
"Aren't you touched?" Xie Xiao smiled.
It's more than just being moved. "Actually, you don't have to do this. I don't mind. Doing so would only put a lot of pressure on me."
"What do you mean? Isn't it only natural for a husband to make his wife comfortable? Don't you like it?" Xie Xiao's hand was around her waist, as if he would strangle her if she dared to say she didn't like it.
For the first time, Li Ruo showed a bit of survival instinct. "I like it, I like it. So isn't this like offering myself in return, hehe."
Xie Xiao's gaze was murderous, and he pressed her towards him to kiss her, but Li Ruo covered his mouth, saying, "Don't forget we still have to attend the celebration banquet."
There are countless things to clean up and deal with afterward.
Thinking about consummating the marriage is still a long way off.
Besides, everyone's exhausted today, so they probably don't have the energy for a wedding night...
Xie Xiao pried her hands away with a hint of resentment, his eyes dark and his voice deep, "No rush, let me kiss you for a while."
He held and kissed Li Ruo for a while before letting her go. The two smiled at each other, forehead to forehead, and then went out hand in hand.
This was arguably the most bizarre wedding in the Great Yin Dynasty.
This is the first time I've ever seen a bride who's already in her bridal chamber come out to toast everyone.
The bride drank a bowl of wine in one gulp, which stunned the brothers. Yet, she performed these actions with such grace and elegance, making them a delight to behold.
Wow, no wonder she's the wife of the Black Wind Stronghold. The woman the boss has his eye on is really something else.
Heartbroken girls like Ling'er, Ke'er, Xue'er, and Wanting gathered around a square table, their sorrow and loneliness leading them to share drinks and comfort each other: "Look, you're nothing special."
We all share the same plight.
After drinking a few bowls, Ye Ling'er hummed and said, "Don't be discouraged, everyone. Men have three wives and four concubines, especially a hero like Brother Xiao. How could he only have one woman? Just wait and see. When that day comes, he will definitely take us as his concubines."
What's this called?
To establish a harem.
Xu Wanting glanced at her and said, "You've had too much to drink. What nonsense are you spouting?"
Ye Ling'er swayed unsteadily, "You're not drunk, isn't that normal? Don't tell me you don't want to."
Xu Wanting said, "My husband can only love me. I don't want anyone else."
"Besides, Xie Xiao isn't that kind of person."
“Then you really don’t understand men at all,” Xue’er said.
Ke'er: "Tch, you know it very well."
Mu Sisi, who was sitting at the same table with General Zhao and Marquis Xinyang, saw a pair of bright red-clad beauties toasting someone. They were a perfect match, a hero and a beauty.
The slight disappointment in her heart disappeared, and she should look around properly. As she looked, she saw the fourth leader looking at their table. She blushed and looked away.
Just then, Xie Xiao and Li Ruojing finished with several of their leaders, and it was the turn of the Marquis of Xinyang and General Zhao's table. The fourth leader quickly followed, his eyes looking like he wanted to glance at them but dared not.
Li Ruo secretly moved to the side.
Then the fourth leader seized the opportunity to stand over, gave Mu Sisi a subtle glance, and his neck turned red.
Li Ruo almost burst out laughing.
Xie Xiao raised his cup to General Zhao and Marquis Xinyang, saying, "I am deeply grateful for your help today."
General Zhao laughed and said, "Not at all, it's all thanks to General Li." To be honest, when he heard Li Qing's name, he thought he was dreaming.
He walked toward Li Qing, who was already surrounded.
Sigh, he's been waiting for so long, just wanting to have a drink with Li Qing, but it's never his turn.
Li Ruo saw the longing in General Zhao's eyes and said with a smile, "Brother, General Zhao is looking for you."
When his sister called out, Li Qing squeezed through the crowd and walked over, standing in front of everyone like a small mountain.
General Zhao, this burly man, instantly transformed into a devoted fanboy, excitedly grasping his large hand, feeling a sense of reality, "General Li, you're really back!"
Li Qing raised his thick eyebrows and withdrew his hand. "General Zhao, it's been a long time."
According to seniority, Li Qing should call him uncle, but because he had previously been obedient to Song Zhijing, and even blocked his sister and the others from leaving the city on the day Li Xingran was born, and Xie Xiao had coerced him into opening the city gate, he was somewhat dissatisfied.
