Chapter 32. The Bride (Two Chapters Combined into One) The Bride (Two Chapters Combined into One)…



A bride has to wear red for several days. Today, Yurong wore a narrow red satin blouse with gold butterflies and flowers. Wei Xuanning stretched out his arms and asked Yurong to help him put on the clothes.

To be honest, Wei Xuanning's clothes are too complicated. For example, the dark blue robe he wore today looked simple, but it had hidden buttons and patterns. He seemed to pay special attention to the buttons, and they were all the kind that were particularly difficult to button.

When she touched the jade button, it felt like the kind of jade that was hard to find in the south, with smooth beads and very delicate. However, the buttonhole was too small. She trembled as she fastened it on her wrist and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Also, Wei Xuanning was too tall, so she had to stand on tiptoe to smooth out his wrinkles.

After she had dressed him, Yurong said anxiously, "I still have to make breakfast. What should I do? It's really too late today."

When he heard the word "breakfast", Wei Xuanning felt a little nauseous. He couldn't say that your cooking skills were too poor, so he had to say, "I didn't marry you to let you do these things. Don't I have enough people to serve me?"

These words made Madam Zhu, who was beside Old Madam Wei who came to pick up the Yuanpa, stomp her feet.

"Madame Zhu is here."

Wei Xuanning was still very polite to the people around Old Madam Wei.

Nanny Zhu acted as if nothing had happened and said with a smile: "Yes, Nanny just came to see the eldest master and the new bride."

Seeing Yurong, she smiled and said, "This servant greets the eldest lady."

"Get up quickly." Although Yurong didn't know who this Nanny Zhu was, since Wei Xuanning respected her so much, she must not be a person of low status.

She had a long neck, and even though she was wearing a stand-up collar dress today, the red marks were still visible, which showed how fierce the battle was yesterday. Nanny Zhu calmly asked the little maids to put away the Yuanpa and smiled meaningfully.

"Since the eldest master and his wife are going to pay a visit to the old lady, I will not delay them any longer."

Wei Xuanning nodded: "Take care."

Yurong asked Bitao to see the person off and rewarded the nanny at the same time. As the saying goes, the more gifts you give, the less blame you will get!

Fortunately, when she went out today, the sky was clear and the sun was shining, as if all the dark clouds yesterday were just a dream. Walking in the corridor, she said to Wei Xuanning, "You carried me in yesterday, and it took you a long time to run. It was really hard for you."

"Well, I can't run today." Wei Xuanning took a step back.

This guy, at first glance, seems to be a gentleman who is far away from the world, but in fact he is really a bit naughty. Yurong said helplessly: "I am not so shameless as to let you hug me."

Only when they went hand in hand with Madam Wei did Yurong know what it meant to be favored. Almost from the moment Wei Xuanning walked in, everyone's attention was focused on him.

He was the first person everyone asked about. Old Madam Wei was sitting in the main hall. Although the old lady was old, she looked quite kind and bookish. She even had a book in her hand.

Yurong knelt down with Wei Xuanning, and Wei Xuanning helped her up when she stood up. After all, she had been tortured terribly yesterday, and in the end she couldn't even cry.

Old Madam Wei stared at him like a hawk for a moment and then immediately looked away.

And the woman from yesterday was the aunt of the Wei family, the elder sister of Concubine Wei. Her husband was the scholar of the Song University, known as Mrs. Song. She held Wei Xuanning and almost refused to let go.

"Why do you look thinner? Have you taken all the prescriptions I gave you that day? Xuan Ning, you are now handling cases in Jingzhao. I heard that you are very careful, but you should also take care of your health. But this dress is very beautiful." Madam Song smiled to Madam Wei.

Madam Wei nodded: "Not bad, he looks very energetic."

Wei Xuanning's second aunt Chen was someone Yurong knew. She was also a good person. She kept talking to Wei Xuanning, "How are you? You must be tired these days. Don't get too tired."

Yurong secretly looked at Wei Xuanning's expression. She was used to it. Even Wei Xiang, who looked so serious, pulled his son and said, "You will become adults after marriage. You must live a good life with your wife in the future. I am very happy to have a good son and a good wife."

This gift from Wei Xiang was the heaviest. There was a night-shining pearl in the box, and it seemed to be padded with silver bills.

Aren’t they said that noble families are very elegant?

How can giving a gift be so rude? But she likes it this way the most.

As for the relatives from other branches of the Wei family, almost everyone was hinting to Yurong that she must take good care of him, but everyone was generous in their donations.

This made Yurong have a deeper understanding that the Wei family was a noble family. A wealthy family with generations of riches is indeed extraordinary.

Any of Wei Xuanning's uncles from the next room were all fourth-rank officials and held important positions. They even traveled a long way back for his marriage.

After greeting each other, the men went their own way, and Yurong stayed behind to observe the rules.

When everyone in the room saw Wei Xuanning leave, they began to talk to her. First, Madam Wei said, "It's a clear sky today, which is also a happy event and a good omen. You don't have to take it to heart. We have also gone to the Yang family to talk about it, and everything is going well."

"Yes, the old lady cares about me and I am very grateful for her care." Yurong smiled sweetly.

Old Madam Wei glanced at her subtly. No matter how beautiful she was, she would be a pleasure to look at, let alone Xuan Ning.

Madam Song, the aunt, sighed: "If the queen were here, she would be so happy. Usually, the queen loves Xuan Ning the most among her relatives."

"Yes." Madam Wei also agreed, "I don't know how much the queen gave to Xuan Ning. Grandma, I have a lot of old ginseng, I will send it to you later."

Yurong stood up and bowed, "I shouldn't refuse a gift from my elders, but I'm young and I'm worried that I won't be able to preserve these valuables properly."

Chen quickly waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. You don't have to be so polite. I just hope that you and your wife can live in harmony and have children for my Wei family in the future."

"Ahem." Yurong was really convinced. She was too hasty to say this the first day.

But she was not annoyed and always said yes to everything and answered very appropriately.

She had her own embroidery to give to everyone. We only took a cursory look at the bride's craftsmanship, and knew that she was a good needleworker. We saw countless bright and beautiful works.

But everyone was pleased with the meal, so Yurong sat for a while. When it was time for lunch, Old Madam Wei, Madam Song and Wei Yanjun sat at the same table to eat, while Zhou Ziying, Yurong and Chen set the table together.

In fact, she was observing everyone, but the women of the Wei family had also been secretly observing Yurong. Although she was only from a branch of the Yang family, she was very dignified in her manners, and was gentle and docile. When the elders mentioned Wei Xuanning, she did not show any impatience. Instead, she nodded in agreement and stated that she would take better care of Xuanning.

After serving, Madam Wei said, "You have been tired for half a day, go back and rest first."

"Yes." Yurong took the maids back to the room.

The place where Wei Xuanning lived was almost the best place in the entire Wei family. It was called Wutong Garden, a quite ordinary name. She breathed a sigh of relief only after she took a sedan along the road and arrived at the room.

"Grandma, the servants in the young master's room are here to pay their respects to you."

Yurong nodded. She rewarded all the servants who served Wei Xuanning one by one without giving them any lectures. After they left, Yurong yawned loudly. Lanmei came over to give her a massage: "You have suffered so much. You have been standing all morning. I feel sorry for you just by looking at you."

"It's nothing. It will be fine after a few days." Yu Rong leaned on the couch and did not get up, but her brain was thinking about everything rapidly. In fact, the Wei family thought much simpler than her. Wei Xuanning was the undisputed number one favorite. Everyone's focus was on her, including Zhou Ziying, who was now respectful and did not dare to say much.

Her status also rose rapidly, and she had almost nothing to worry about.

She fell asleep while thinking. When Wei Xuanning came back, she saw such a picture of a beautiful woman sleeping in spring. Bitao and Lamei hurriedly prepared to pay their respects, but Wei Xuanning waved to them and asked them to leave first.

Yurong woke up immediately when the person sitting next to her changed his tone.

"You're back." She looked at Wei Xuanning with sleepy eyes. He seemed to have changed his clothes and looked quite refreshing.

"Well, it's getting late, so I came back. How is it? Are you still tired?" Wei Xuanning asked calmly.

This was probably the most familiar stranger in the world. Yurong smiled innocently and said, "I'm not tired anymore. Should we have dinner now? I'll have dinner with you."

Wei Xuanning nodded, "hmm". There were a lot of things going on today. As the year draws to a close, everything becomes complicated.

Yesterday again...

Thinking of this, he glanced at Yurong and said, "Let them set the table."

The floor heater in the inner room was very warm. Yurong even felt a little hot. She took off her long skirt and put on a light purple blouse with exquisite curves. Just as she was about to set up the meal, Wei Xuanning pulled her to sit down, "Do I need less people to serve me? Sit down."

Yurong was not a picky eater. She would eat basically everything except bitter melon. Besides, the food at the Wei family was delicious. She was a little hungry, so she just focused on eating. She was almost done. Then she looked at Wei Xuanning, who was eating slowly. She was almost done, but he had only finished half of his meal.

She looked at his hand guiltily and personally picked up a piece of chicken for him.

Wei Xuanning glanced at her chicken, felt a little disgusted, and didn't touch it at all. In the end, she didn't eat that piece.

After the table was cleared, Yurong rinsed her mouth and asked, "Is your hand okay? I have some golden abscess medicine. Would you like me to apply it on your hand for a while?"

"It's nothing, just a minor injury." Wei Xuanning said nonchalantly.

Yurong felt bad, so she moved closer. Wei Xuanning took a few steps back. Yurong really wanted to roll her eyes, but she held back. She picked up his hand and saw a tiny cut.

She looked at him, "Didn't you say it hurt this morning? Now you say it doesn't hurt anymore. As the saying goes, the fingers are connected to the heart, so how can it not hurt?"

How could it be that the pain lasts forever? He is not really injured. After all, he is a martial artist.

After bathing that night, the servants had already left, but Yurong took out a book to read as usual. Today she was reading the Book of Songs, and she happened to come across the chapter about Wei Jiang, which happened to describe her beauty.

She held her chin and recalled yesterday's wedding. It seemed that except for the rain, everything else was fine and the wedding was quite grand.

It seems that she is beautiful, but her status is not that high. She is a princess of Qi and the wife of Marquis Wei, so her status is extraordinary.

Wei Xuanning thought she was reading some messy book again, so he took a quick glance and found it was the Book of Songs. He breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he remembered what Yurong said yesterday, and wondered how this girl knew everything but didn't seem to care.

After watching for a while, Yurong got out of bed barefoot and changed into a set of small clothes. Wei Xuanning was so angry that his blood boiled. He moved inside and immediately closed his eyes.

Yurong was not trying to seduce him. It was obviously because the small dress she was wearing just now had too much embroidery, which made it particularly uncomfortable. This one made her feel as if she was wearing nothing, and it made her sleep more comfortably.

Women are superior to men and women are inferior to men. Women sleep outside and men sleep inside so that it is convenient for her to take care of the men.

Although Yurong was not used to sleeping with others, there was nothing she could do. She couldn't sleep alone after getting married. As soon as she got into the bed, she sighed comfortably and felt her waist straightened. But she had slept for half a day in the afternoon, so how could she be sleepy now? But he had already lain down, and she couldn't keep the candles lit.

Although she hasn't found her footing yet, Yurong still knows her limits.

When you can’t sleep, you tend to toss and turn. After a few times, I heard a faint voice coming from the other side, “Are you unable to sleep?”

Yurong got excited when she heard this. Someone was talking to her. "I just can't sleep. I haven't slept so early in a long time. I have to make breakfast for you and your family tomorrow. I don't know when I have to get up."

Wei Xuanning panicked when he heard this, "No need for that. Without a cook, do you still need to work so hard? You can just talk to grandma and read a book every day." He was afraid that Yurong's dishes would be disastrous for old lady Wei.

Yurong questioned, "Didn't you say that all new brides in your family have to cook breakfast? My mother always asks me to cook, and I finally learned how to do it, but you don't let me do it anymore. What's the meaning of that?"

She is still unhappy? Wei Xuanning resisted the urge to sleep and said, "That was in the past. Now our Wei family is very tolerant of our daughters-in-law. There is no need to be like that. Don't you want to rest more? You only need to serve me, not others."

Is this still possible?

Of course it would be best if we could not do it. Yurong said "Oh", "Then I will go to sleep."

How could he sleep with her dressed like this? Wei Xuanning pulled her to his side and said, "Just outside, don't go in."

But although this place is a beautiful place, Zhou Ziying's face is as black as ink. It is obvious that Yang Yurong is not a virgin at all, but she managed to fool people at Wei's house. It must be Wei Xuanning who is deliberately hiding it.

Thinking about how after Yang Yurong left today, Madam Wei specially sent someone to recuperate her, it was clear at a glance that this old lady was a person who put her grandson first. No matter whether Wei Xuanning was right or wrong, she didn't care about right or wrong and only cared about Wei Xuanning.

Yang Yurong also followed suit...

As time went on, her status would even be higher than Gao Shanru in her previous life. Gao Shanru followed etiquette in everything and had a gentle personality. Basically, she was like another old lady Wei to Wei Xuanning. She always stood ahead of Wei Xuanning in everything and made it impossible for others to find fault with her. However, in this life, it was Wei Xuanning who took the initiative to block things for her.

Even the fact that she was not a virgin was blocked, which made her feel that fate was so unfair.

Gao Shanru, on the other hand, was very miserable. In order to avoid Princess Xin'an, Gao's mother and daughter moved into the Wei's family. Everything was fine at the Wei's family, except that there had been a lot of noise due to the wedding in the past few days, and Mrs. Gao did not sleep well. Gao Shanru also did not want to meet the daughter of the Yang family to avoid embarrassment, so she went to live with her mother.

Mrs. Gao saw her daughter in deep thought, so she comforted her, "Shanru, Xuan Ning has remarried. It's all fate. I've asked the old lady to find you a very good marriage. Our Gao family is also a famous family in Huayang, and we have the Wei family to help us. We will definitely find a good man for you."

Shanru smiled bitterly. She was obviously not like this when she was young. She didn't even smile bitterly. She was very brave. However, because of this marriage, she was excluded by Princess Xin'an. Later, when the squeeze became more serious, she was almost disfigured and her father's official position was almost lost.

She thought the dethronement of the crown prince was the last straw for her, but she never expected that it was the beginning of another tragedy.

If she had known this earlier, she would not have mentioned it to her father so often. If she had not mentioned it to her father, he would never have taken action. As a result, after the deposed prince stepped down, he was still ostracized and sent to such a bitter and cold place. If her father could not hold on any longer, how could she have the face to live in this world?

"Mom, please take good care of yourself first, and let fate take care of your daughter's affairs."

Madam Gao saw through Gao Shanru at a glance. "You are still thinking about Xuan Ning, right? Hey, he is a good boy, and you have gotten along well since childhood. When you were a child, you often bullied others, but he was so good-tempered. He even burned his feet with moxa to refuse marriage and almost became disabled. But now it is all good fortune."

Gao Shanru nodded: "You are right. He has married and is no longer the brother I need to protect. I should move on."

When you are young, you must not meet someone too stunning, otherwise it will be really hard to forget.

**

On the other side, Yurong was taking a bath. She really couldn't help but want to curse. Men's lies really can't be believed. What about only being outside and not going in? Today she was really deceived by him.

Yurong rubbed the marks on her body vigorously, wiped them clean, changed into pajamas, got on the bed, and took a quilt to cover herself from head to toe.

Wei Xuanning was so angry at her childish behavior that he laughed, "Aren't you afraid of being suffocated..."

"I don't even have any stand-up collar clothes to change into. How can I face people if I go out wearing a tube top tomorrow? You're such a bad person. We clearly agreed not to go in." Yurong felt like she was going to lose her temper.

How can there be such a dishonest person?

Yurong didn't like to wear clothes with stand-up collars, so Zhu made all of them with tube tops or cross-collared skirts, which slightly revealed a bit of whiteness. This was also commonly worn by ladies nowadays, but they were covered with kiss marks.

Wei Xuanning said something that was rare, "Then why don't you blame me?"

"How dare I blame you? You are the treasure of the Wei family. Your grandmother, father, aunt and uncle all asked me to look after you." Yurong said in a rare sarcastic tone.

Wei Xuanning cleared his throat a few times and said confidently, "Didn't you take good care of me in bed? How could they dare to say anything about you? Don't worry, they won't say anything about you. If they really say anything about you, just come to me and I will definitely handle it well."

Yurong didn't believe this. Men's words can deceive people.
