Old Madam Zhou and the old general brought their eldest son and daughter-in-law to the Shen Mansion to propose marriage for their grandson. Zhou Shu and Shen Shan had seen Zhou Qian's performance during this period, and with the rumors growing more and more intense, they agreed to the marriage on the same day and even set a date for the wedding.
When Zhou Xuanmin learned about Zhou Qian and Shen Shuyi's marriage, he froze, his eyes full of disbelief.
Just as Zhou Qian returned to the General's Mansion to verify the gift list with Old Madam Zhou, Zhou Xuanmin hurried over and stopped him.
“Brother, how can you marry Shen Shuyi?”
Zhou Qian looked at him coldly, "The man is unmarried, and the woman is unmarried, so why can't I marry her?"
"Wen Jing, from now on, cousin Shuyi is your sister-in-law."
Zhou Xuanmin looked at his brother's stern face and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Brother, how come you are related to my cousin?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Zhou Qian's expression remained unchanged.
Zhou Xuanmin pretended not to care, "I'm just curious why my elder brother suddenly wants to get married. Is my cousin willing?"
In his opinion, his cousin has always been in his heart, how could she be willing to marry his elder brother? It must be because of the last time she fell into the water, she was forced to do so...
Zhou Qian interrupted his reverie, "I am sincerely seeking marriage, and my cousin is marrying me voluntarily. This is a private matter between her and me, so you don't need to worry about it."
Thinking of Shen Shuyi's stunning face, Zhou Xuanmin felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart. This originally belonged to his wife...how did it become his eldest brother's?
Although he didn't like his cousin's fragility, she was still pretty. He originally wanted to wait until he married the princess and after gaining the princess's forgiveness, he would take his cousin in... But what happened at the Peony Flower Party disrupted all his plans.
Zhou Xuanmin felt uncomfortable when he thought of these, but he still maintained his proper demeanor in front of his brother.
"Then Wen Jing congratulates big brother."
Zhou Qian just nodded and left.
Princess Chu Huiji was furious when she learned that Shen Shuyi had married into the Zhou family before her. Why did that merchant's daughter have the right? !
Chu Huiji had a bad temper to begin with, and when she heard the news she started smashing things in the palace again.
"Someone come! This princess wants to meet that little bitch!"
"Princess, calm down. The Queen has asked you to stay in the palace and wait for your marriage. You are not allowed to leave the palace again."
Chu Huiji's face turned dark, and she felt extremely suffocated.
She always felt that Chen Shuyi was very weird. She and Lou Caiya had clearly planned everything out, but why was it Lou Caiya who was drugged and sent to that room, and she also got together with Zhou Xuanmin at the Peony Banquet without knowing why!
For this, she was reprimanded by her mother and father and was confined to her house. Even if she wanted to kill Shen Shuyi, she couldn't disobey the orders of her father and mother at this time.
However, she would never let Shen Shuyi have an easy time!
"Guo'er, come here. This princess wants you to do something outside the palace. If you do it well, you will be rewarded handsomely!"
…
After the wedding date was set, it was supposed that the bride and groom should not meet each other, but Zhou Qian couldn't help but secretly meet Shen Shuyi at Shen's house after he risked his life to suppress the bandits and returned safely.
Shen Shuyi was trying on her wedding dress when she heard Zhou Qian coming. She glanced at the red wedding dress and said to Chunxi, "Let him come into the room."
Zhou Qian pushed the door open and was about to call Shen Shuyi when he suddenly saw the red wedding dress embroidered with peony flowers that she was wearing.
The small waist was tied with a beautiful belt, not even a hand could hold it, but the curve in front of the body was special...
Zhou Qian quickly turned his back and said, "Cousin."
Shen Shuyi pulled the tight belt and called Zhou Qian, "Come here and help me untie it. It's a bit tight and I can't hook it from behind."
"I'll go call the maid." Zhou Qian's ears felt hot.
"Why go to so much trouble? Can't I order you around before we get married?" Chen Shuyi said to him angrily.
Zhou Qian had no choice but to turn around and move forward. He didn't dare to look at her any longer, so he just cleared his eyes and reached out to grab her belt and began to untie it.
Shen Shuyi said pitifully, “Is there some fat on my waist? If I had known, I wouldn’t have eaten so much on weekdays!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qian fell in love with her waist. The inner garment of her wedding dress was close to her body, showing her curves very well. The arc was curved and very graceful.
He said subconsciously, "No extra fat."
Shen Shuyi didn’t believe it, “Yes!”
"You'll know if you touch it!"
Zhou Qian abided by his promise and didn't dare to touch anything randomly. He broke into a sweat just by unbuckling his belt.
Shen Shuyi raised her head to look at the man in front of her who didn't dare to look at her. He had a cold and steady aura, and he was sweating in a hurry to untie the belt that she had tied deliberately.
Zhou Qian fumbled with his belt, trying not to touch her skin.
Seeing his annoyed look, Shen Shuyi held back her laughter, "Not done yet? Can you hurry up? I'm about to be strangled to the point of being unable to breathe. If it weren't for the fact that it's unlucky to cut it open with scissors, I'd rather just cut it off with a pair of scissors."
"It's almost done." At this point, Zhou Qian had no choice but to hold her waist with both hands, lift her up a little, and then quickly untie the knot of the belt and pull it out.
"Ah..." The moment he pulled out the belt, Shen Shuyi lost his balance and was thrown out.
Zhou Qian hurriedly stretched out his strong arms and hugged her. The fragrance on her body and her delicate voice all touched his heart.
He quickly helped the man to stand steadily and then let go of his hand, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Shuyi looked at his flushed handsome face with satisfaction, and then whispered: “Wait a moment, I will change all the wedding clothes.”
Zhou Qian subconsciously turned his back. Even though he went behind the screen to change his clothes, he still felt hot all over.
His heart was filled with joy when he thought that his cousin Shuyi would soon become his wife.
But they... are just husband and wife in name only. Can they sleep in the same bed after getting married?
