At first, I could still hear people talking, but gradually all I could hear were footsteps.
Chen Siyuan felt something was strange. When she lifted the carriage curtain, she discovered that there was now a group of guards accompanying them outside, whereas before it was just the two of them.
Chen Siyuan immediately recognized Wang Yong and Yang Lei among them; they were dressed in new clothes and slowly followed on either side of the carriage.
Soon, a group of servants arrived at the carriage where Chen Siyuan was sitting.
Qiao Yuchen opened his eyes and looked at Chen Siyuan with a slight smile. Before she could react, Qiao Yuchen got off the carriage, and two old women got on. After calling out "Young Madam," they began to wash Chen Siyuan's face and hands.
Her loose hair was carefully combed and styled into a phoenix-shaped bun, just like a bride should.
Soon, a series of items were brought in from outside the carriage. Chen Siyuan could see clearly that there was a crown made of pure gold and a bright red wedding dress.
After changing her clothes, Chen Siyuan felt dizzy and her neck was stiff even when she looked up.
Looking down at the wedding dress in front of me, I felt that this wedding dress was not simple. Whether it was the pattern or the design, it must have been made by a famous artist.
Soon, the bridal veil and other items were brought in again.
Having lived two lifetimes, this seemed to be her first time getting married in such a grand manner.
Without her family by her side, and without a single familiar face, only strangers attending to her carefully, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
If Grandma were here, would she chatter on and on for a long time?
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but tear up.
This action caused the two old women who came forward to serve to tremble and almost kneel down.
Chen Siyuan forced a smile, but said nothing.
Just then, Qiao Yuchen's clear voice came from outside.
"Is the young mistress all packed up?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, everything is ready. We are just waiting for the people from the General's Mansion to come and fetch the bride."
"Alright, you may all step back!"
"Yes!" The two old women bowed to Chen Siyuan and slowly got off the carriage.
Soon, the carriage curtain was lifted again.
Chen Siyuan looked over and saw Qiao Yuchen, who was wearing a red dress and bathed in sunlight.
He was still so dazzling, bathed in sunlight, looking like a dream.
This seems to be what a groom should look like; he's so beautiful it's almost blinding.
Qiao Yuchen was stunned, and just as he was wondering what to say, he suddenly saw a fox-like smile in the woman's eyes.
He reached out and instinctively touched the woman's hair, but then noticed she was wearing a phoenix crown, making it difficult to touch her.
He withdrew his hand dejectedly and coughed lightly.
"Don't be nervous, just follow me."
Chen Siyuan nodded obediently, "Mm."
"Hmm! Very good!" Qiao Yuchen nodded in satisfaction.
This is the girl he likes. Sometimes she's as fierce as a wildcat, and sometimes she's as obedient as a child who doesn't know the ways of the world. More importantly, she's as shameless as he is.
Just then, someone approached Wang Yong and said something. He immediately went to his master, "Master, over at the General's Mansion..."
Qiao Yuchen gave Chen Siyuan a smile, then turned around, his expression changing. "What happened over there?"
It's obvious that the old woman is up to her old tricks again.
After being away from the mansion for a few days, some people have forgotten the lesson learned.
Wang Yong glanced cautiously at the carriage, unsure of how to begin.
"explain--"
Wang Yong spoke cautiously, lowering his voice, "Your Majesty, the Madam says there has been a funeral in the household, and it is not advisable to hold any weddings within a month."
Everyone around heard this, including Chen Siyuan, who was sitting in the carriage.
She sneered inwardly.
This is what a prominent family looks like. In the capital, the importance of matching social status with family is paramount. This person felt that they were from a small place and were not suitable to enter a high-class family like the Qiao family.
Well, I knew it all along, but I didn't expect someone to go this far.
Qiao Yuchen's handsome face was covered with frost as he coldly looked in the direction of the General's Mansion. A slight smile appeared on his lips as he glanced at Yang Lei beside him and asked, "Is everything ready?"
"yes."
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a large wedding procession suddenly arrived from the General's Mansion, accompanied by music and fanfare.
Chen Siyuan remained seated in the carriage, and upon hearing the commotion outside, she couldn't help but feel curious.
How exactly did Qiao Yuchen manage to do it?
It was quite obvious that Madam Qiao did not intend to let her in, so could the sound of the music be just a coincidence?
When the carriage started shaking again, Chen Siyuan knew this was not a dream.
She was even more curious about how Qiao Yuchen had managed to do it.
If she weren't in the carriage, she would have loved to go out and see what was going on.
At this moment, Chen Siyuan was unaware that the street, which was originally deserted, gradually drew crowds in as the music played.
Seeing that it was actually the second young master of the General's Mansion who had just been found, they all craned their necks in curiosity.
If Qiao Zhen hadn't died suddenly, they wouldn't have known that the General's Mansion had a son who had been living away from home.
Coincidentally, the news of Qiao Zhen's death came just a few days before he died. And sure enough, not long after his death, Qiao Yuchen got married.
The spectacle was so lively that everyone watching started shaking their heads.
Holding a wedding and a funeral too close together is obviously not a good thing. More importantly, there are rumors that Qiao Zhen was poisoned.
To this day, no one knows where this so-called second young master came from, and there is no trace of his birth mother either; it seems as if he appeared out of nowhere.
