“Alright, since that’s the case, today is the best opportunity. If we miss today, I’m afraid we won’t be able to get your brother-in-law to ‘cooperate’ again,” Qin Wanru said quickly.
Chu Youzhao hummed in agreement, her face flushing slightly as she thought about what she was about to do.
"Then let's proceed according to the established plan. Youzhao, do you remember? Do you want me to tell you again?" Qin Wanru asked with some concern.
"Don't worry, I remember." Chu Youzhao took a deep breath and pushed open the door to go out.
Watching her retreating figure, Qin Wanru hesitated, then finally sighed softly. The heavy burden of the family weighed on her shoulders, which was too much for her, and she felt sorry for Qinghe...
Meanwhile, in the bridal chamber, the bride, Murong Qinghe, wearing a red veil, sat nervously on the bed.
The large red candles in the room burned exceptionally brightly, casting a festive glow over the entire space.
Murong Qinghe gracefully clasped her hands together on her lap, her fingers constantly intertwining: "It's so late, why hasn't Brother Chu come yet..."
Today is the happiest day of her life. The thought of marrying her childhood sweetheart, Brother Chu, brings a slight smile to her lips.
I heard from the maid that Brother Chu was drinking with the guests at the banquet. Hmph, Brother Chu is so frail, I'm afraid he can't handle the toasts from those people.
Fortunately, I heard that Brother Zu helped Brother Chu avoid drinking a lot of alcohol.
Brother Zu is such a good person. Even now that he has such a high status, he still treats them the same as always.
The other day, Brother Zu looked so cool when he casually killed those two demons in mid-air.
If I hadn't met Brother Chu, I probably would have...
Oh dear, Murong Qinghe, what are you thinking?
You're already Brother Chu's wife, yet you still think about these messy things.
How shameless!
However, it seems that Brother Chu asked her a similar question back then, which is a bit strange now. Why would he ask that?
Does he suspect that I've changed my mind?
Thinking of this possibility, her pretty face suddenly turned a little pale.
No, Brother Chu looked normal at the time; he probably didn't mean that.
Moreover, I could sense that he seemed to admire and like his brother-in-law quite a bit; sometimes their affectionate interactions even made her a little jealous.
With this thought, her mood gradually calmed down.
...
As she waited, she suddenly remembered some knowledge about the bridal chamber that the old nanny in her family had taught her before she got married.
Her cheeks gradually became rosy.
Actually, she didn't understand a lot of what was being said at the time, but she was too embarrassed to ask.
I think Brother Chu should understand...
However, Brother Chu is so refined, it's hard to imagine that he would do such things.
Oh dear, what's wrong with me today? Why is my mind filled with such embarrassing thoughts?
Just as I was feeling anxious and uncertain, there was a sudden, loud knocking on the door.
Murong Qinghe's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately sat up straight, so nervous that he could clearly hear his own heartbeat.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Murong Qinghe suddenly felt a little confused. Why were there three people's footsteps?
She raised her head slightly and looked through the bottom of the veil. She saw that two maids were helping Chu Youzhao in.
Brother Chu's steps were unsteady, and the strong smell of alcohol on him could be smelled from a distance. He was clearly drunk and unconscious.
Murong Qinghe couldn't help but feel a little disappointed; her husband had gotten so drunk on their wedding night, which she had been looking forward to.
However, that sense of disappointment was quickly replaced by heartache, and she hurriedly got up to help him up, saying, "How did you get so drunk?"
The two maids said with a smile, "Those guests were so enthusiastic in urging the young master to drink. Fortunately, the Regent helped the young master fend off a lot of the drinks, otherwise we were all worried that he would get drunk and die."
Murong Qinghe reached out and checked Chu Youzhao's pulse. He found that Chu's breathing was steady and knew that he had just passed out from drunkenness. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She suddenly asked, "How is the Regent now?"
"The Regent is even more drunk and unconscious; he's drunk far more than the Crown Prince," the two maids replied.
Murong Qinghe felt both grateful and apologetic; he had really troubled Brother Zu too much tonight.
At this moment, the two maids started chattering: "I heard them say that the Regent's cultivation is so powerful, he shouldn't be this drunk."
"He's probably just in a bad mood and is drowning his sorrows in alcohol."
Clearly, Zu'an is now the focus of the entire capital, and even the little maids are full of curiosity about him.
Hearing the two maids' discussion, Murong Qinghe was somewhat puzzled. His elder brother Zu was highly skilled in cultivation and held power over the world. How could such a person have any worries?
"We almost disturbed the young mistress's rest." The two maids suddenly realized their mistake, put Chu Youzhao on the bed, placed an incense burner by the bedside, and then bowed and left.
"What is this?" Murong Qinghe asked curiously.
"This is a 'son-granting face' that the lady specially requested; it's said to bring the young master and mistress many children and much happiness," the two maids replied.
Murong Qinghe blushed slightly, and for a moment she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.
The two maids bowed slightly, left, and closed the door.
Murong Qinghe sat on the edge of the bed and waited quietly for a while.
However, Chu Youzhao seems to have completely lost consciousness and it looks like she won't wake up anytime soon.
Murong Qinghe suddenly pursed her lips, hesitated, then reached out and took Chu-gege's hand to lift the red veil off her head, completing a very important ceremony in her heart.
She looked at Chu Youzhao with a shy expression: "Brother Chu, I am now your wife."
Knowing that the other person couldn't hear her, she felt less shy. She just stood by the bed, looking at Chu Youzhao's face, her eyes filled with love. She thought to herself, "Brother Chu is so handsome, almost as handsome as Brother Zu..."
