Xie Yuancheng pulled me back again. I sat with my back to him, ignoring him. I was still angry. What's wrong with exchanging a few words with an acquaintance?
"Ying'er, you are too willful. Today is a big day for our manor. How could you go out and talk to Lu Fengjun?"
I snorted and ignored him.
He softened and came over to lean on my leg: "My dear wife, you mustn't throw a tantrum later. If you get caught doing something wrong, I'll have to run around for you again."
I tried to lift his head, but he grabbed my hand and I couldn't break free.
"Xie Yuancheng, get up!"
"I don't want to. My wife is angry, and I have to appease her."
Seeing him start acting like a spoiled child again, I became even more annoyed: "If I were the one getting married today, you'd probably tear the roof off. What's wrong with my temper?"
"If you dare to get married, I'll kill you and then kill myself."
"You still married one, and she's a foreigner."
Xie Yuancheng froze, and he gripped my hand tightly. I felt a lot of pressure, but my heart was aching even more, so I didn't push him away.
"It seems I underestimated my importance in Ying'er's heart, but I'm quite happy that at least Ying'er was angry because of me."
"you do not say."
Xie Yuancheng finally got up, and just as I was about to turn to the side, he came over again, "Ying'er didn't notice that I'm not wearing my wedding dress today."
"That's because the clothes haven't arrived yet."
I saw him in a red dress on our wedding night, and he looked so handsome. But I wasn't interested in him at the time, so I wasn't amazed by his appearance. Now I think it's such a loss.
"Ying'er~"
"Don't whine. Even if you stripped naked in front of me to apologize, I'll still have the urge to beat you up whenever I think about it."
Why should I apologize?
He gave me a "you're kidding me" look and said, "You bastard, you son of a bitch, you're a newly upgraded pervert."
"Seriously, I'm not a normal person every time Ying'er gets angry."
He even had the nerve to sigh, why didn't he get out and change his clothes to greet people?
"Prince Consort, the sedan chair from the Ji residence is almost here. You must go and escort the Marquis out of the residence."
Should we take him out?
Xie Yuancheng's voice changed slightly as he returned to what he had just said.
"What are you trying to do now?" He's right in front of us, where are we supposed to pick him up from the mansion?
Xie Yuancheng smiled as he put on the mask, quickly changed his clothes and hairstyle, instantly transforming into a different person: "Ying'er, let's go pick up the Marquis from the manor."
I looked around his former residence: "Isn't this his new house?"
"Why would I want to turn my old place into a new house?"
"Then who should we pick up?"
You'll know when you get there.
This time, Xie Yuancheng pulled me out. Before I could even react, I was in another courtyard, which seemed more like a young lady's residence.
"Yuancheng~"
“Your Highness, I am your attendant, you must call me Cheng’er.”
I pinched him, and he started baring his teeth: "Ying'er, just wait till I get home tonight, I'll teach you a lesson."
"If you really dare to mess with me, I'll just run away."
"It's best to just think about this. If I ever think about it again, you'll know what I'm capable of."
I started to keep quiet. I couldn't argue with him, so I just hid.
"Your Highness, wait for me." He instantly got into character, and his self-esteem plummeted.
"The prince consort has arrived, please come in." It's Lin Chao, what brings him here?
"Master," I called out tentatively, but Lin Chao, still all smiles, didn't answer me.
Sitting on the bed was Xie Yuancheng, or more precisely, someone who looked exactly like him. I've been with him for so long, I can still tell people apart.
Lingwu was also in the room, dressed as a maid; I couldn't help but laugh.
"Prince Consort, this is what the Marquis will need later. Please keep it safe for him."
I took the purse he handed me, and seeing the makeup on his face, I couldn't help but laugh.
"The Prince Consort!"
Everyone in the room started shouting, and that's when I stopped laughing.
When she went to fetch the bride with Xie Yuancheng, a pair of slender hands first emerged from inside, and then Xie Yuancheng carried her on his back.
But I noticed the bride was always clutching her stomach. Could it be that Xie Yuancheng was the scapegoat, and she was pregnant and had no other choice but to marry him?
I carefully put my purse away and turned to look at the real me following behind. He was smiling. That bastard, he just watched me fool around, and he didn't even explain. Now he'll have something to say about me again.
As soon as we entered the wedding hall, I hung the bright red purse on their red ribbon. I had one like that in Linyang last time, and that purse was wrapped with gold thread and shone brightly in the candlelight.
The elders were no longer there. They knelt and bowed before two empty chairs. When the ceremony was over and they were being led to the bridal chamber, Xie Yuancheng pulled me away.
"Yuancheng, slow down." He's running so fast, I can't keep up with him.
"Ying'er, I'm holding you. The Crown Prince is coming soon, and I need to hurry over to change my clothes."
Why didn't he stay inside? What's the point of him coming along to watch the excitement?
We climbed in through the window, into the room we'd just been in. We'd just settled down when we heard the sounds of the newlyweds arriving coming from outside.
The groom carefully placed the bride on the bed, and I could see the tenderness in his eyes at a glance.
After everyone had left, Xie Yuancheng pulled me out.
"My lord." The groom's voice was exactly the same as Meng Anshi's; once the mask was pulled off, it really was him.
“Anshi, now you can even perform the ancestral rites in place of Xie Yuancheng. Which girl will dare to marry you in the future?”
Meng Anshi's face flushed red; had he gone mad?
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll just marry him."
It was Li Ruowei, Meng Anshi and she got married?!
Just as Li Ruowei was about to lift the veil, Meng Anshi hurriedly grabbed her hand: "Wei'er, I'll lift it for you in a moment."
I was completely stunned. All this commotion these past few days, could it be for their wedding? Why drag Xie Yuancheng and Caiwei into it? Besides, Caiwei is a princess of Chequ Kingdom, would she really agree to this?
"Ying'er, I'll talk to you about this later." Xie Yuancheng started to change into another set of identical wedding clothes. He also asked me to help him tie his hair and get dressed.
"My lord."
Xie Yuancheng's face darkened again, but his expression changed quickly: "From now on, we're all family. Ying'er and I will call you brother-in-law, so you don't need to call me Lord Marquis anymore."
"Yuancheng, thank you for your hard work."
Li Ruowei remembered that Meng Anshi carefully helped her up, afraid that she would fall.
Once Xie Yuancheng had finished, he smiled and said, "Sister, this is all I should do. Ying'er will stay here with you."
I was completely dumbfounded. "Sister, please lift your veil."
I brought over the weight, and Meng Anshi was so excited that his arms were trembling.
"Brother Anshi, you're willing to marry my sister, so you need to be bolder. Otherwise, be careful that she doesn't manage you like I manage Yuancheng." I was afraid he would get too excited, so I told you a joke to calm him down. Luckily, you both laughed.
