Chapter 24 A Moment of Spring Night is Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold
At this moment, Guan Yunmu, who was sitting to the side, reached out and pulled Yuwen Yuan, saying softly, "Husband, the ceremony is not over yet, you are too impatient to say these things."
Yuwen Yuan laughed loudly, "Alright, you can continue."
Then the master of ceremonies announced loudly, "Husband and wife bow to each other."
Shang Ruyi slowly turned around, and Yuwen Ye beside her also turned to her. Under the watchful eyes of many guests, the two slowly bowed and gave a greeting.
The ceremony is complete!
At that moment, Shang Ruyi's heart started pounding again.
From the moment she left the Shen family mansion, she knew that she was about to embark on a completely different second half of her life, but it wasn't until this moment that she vaguely realized that she was really married.
She married the man in front of her.
The red candlelight illuminated his handsome face, making it even clearer. Just as Shang Ruyi was trying to make out his expression, a voice suddenly rang out beside her—
"This is my sister-in-law?"
Turning his head, he saw a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old walk up to Guan Yunmu's side. He was dressed in fine clothes and, although he was young, he was exceptionally tall and strong. His tiger-like eyes flashed with a hint of arrogance and even tyranny.
This young man is Yuwen Cheng, the third son of the Yuwen family.
Guan Yunmu covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice before saying, "Yes, this is your sister-in-law."
Yuwen Cheng tilted his chin up and looked Shang Ruyi up and down, then suddenly asked, "Is she the eldest sister-in-law or the second sister-in-law?"
The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire hall froze.
Shang Ruyi's expression also changed.
Her broken engagement was known only to the two families, but outsiders weren't fools. The Shang family and the Yuwen family had made a marriage agreement, but now, the eldest son, Yuwen Qian, was still unmarried, while the second brother had gotten married first; moreover, Yuwen Qian, as the eldest brother, was not present at Yuwen Ye's wedding—clearly, something went wrong in the middle of the wedding.
Yuwen Cheng's single sentence revealed the whole truth!
Yuwen Yuan's face immediately darkened, and he rebuked, "Don't talk nonsense."
The child wasn't afraid; he just made a face, and Aunt Hui pulled him aside to play.
The remaining people in the hall were whispering among themselves, their eyes fixed on the bride, making Shang Ruyi feel like she was being pricked by needles.
Fortunately, the master of ceremonies reacted quickly and immediately announced loudly, "The ceremony is complete! Send them to the bridal chamber!"
At this call to arms, the surrounding guests all applauded and laughed. Then, a group of male and female attendants came forward and escorted the newlyweds to their bridal chamber.
Along the way, red lights shone brightly, filling the air with joy.
However, because of what had just happened in the wedding hall, Shang Ruyi's mood became heavy, and her steps became somewhat sluggish, almost causing her to trip and fall several times.
Amidst a mix of panic and confusion, they stepped into the doorway of their new house.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "The newlyweds are entering their bridal chamber!"
Then, someone reached out and pushed the door open.
A gust of wind suddenly blew past them from behind and into the room in front of them.
This was an excessively spacious room, with carved beams and painted pillars, and was also excessively exquisite. The furnishings were the same as those in the previous villa, appearing very elegant. A traditional Chinese ink painting hung on the wall, which did not seem to be an antique masterpiece, but the layered mountains concealed countless dangers, showing that the owner was a person with a profound understanding of nature.
Shang Ruyi walked into the room and stared blankly at everything around her.
Just then, the teasing voices of a few teenagers came from behind: "We won't disturb you, a moment of bliss is worth a thousand pieces of gold."
After saying that, they laughed and scattered.
The last sentence made Shang Ruyi blush, while Yuwen Ye had already opened his arms and closed the door.
It also shut out all worldly pleasures.
The bridal chamber suddenly fell silent.
