At this moment, someone outside shouted: "The bridegroom is coming——"
Everyone looked towards the door, and then Cheng Lang, dressed in a bright red auspicious suit, walked in. He was a handsome and elegant young man, as beautiful as jade. The bright red auspicious suit was indeed festive. He pursed his lips slightly. His eyes fell on Luo Yining, and his expression suddenly became complicated. He did not move for a moment.
"It's time for the groom to take off the veil!" Quanfu said with a smile.
Cheng Lang hesitated for a moment before walking forward, ignoring Luo Yining. He took the wedding scale from the tray handed over by the maid and lifted Xie Yun's veil.
Xie Yun's bright face was revealed, adorned with a phoenix crown and a gorgeous robe, and the candlelight was deep. There was a unique and moving beauty in the evening light.
There was even a faint smile on Xie Yun's lips. He glanced around the room and saw Luo Yining.
That hint of smile faded.
Luo Yining didn't want to come either. Grandma Cheng couldn't find anyone to fill in for her. What else could she do? She could only silently pray to Miss Xie Yun and pretend she didn't exist.
"Perform the wedding ceremony." Quanfuren continued.
A pair of small wine glasses, tied together by red strings, were brought up, and everyone cheered enthusiastically. Cheng Lang lifted his glass and intertwined his arms with Xie Yun's. He then smiled, and Xie Yun seemed almost bewildered by his smile. Cheng Lang, however, lifted his glass and drank it all in one gulp, revealing a clean and elegant jaw. He lowered his eyes for a moment after setting down his glass, and the surrounding clamor seemed very distant. Ever since he saw that person standing in the room, he had been overwhelmed by this strange feeling.
The five flavors are mixed together, and the heart is burning with anger.
Sometimes, when something comes too easily to a person, they become incredibly obsessed with the things they can't have. The way he swore an oath before her as a young boy, the way he ascended the throne, the way he grew up step by step. A persistent and extreme affection.
Luo Yining stared at the child in a daze. It was hard for her to articulate her feelings. But the emotion faded in a moment. He smiled and raised his empty glass, still ignoring her.
A maid brought up a red lacquered square plate with something covered with red silk and was about to serve it to her.
Luo Yining stepped aside to let her pass, but the girl tripped over something and stumbled, losing her balance on the tray in her hands. The object on it fell to the ground with a clear shattering sound. The Quanfu people accompanying them hurried to pick it up. It was a jade Guanyin statue, carved from jadeite, and the drop had a noticeable crack on the jade.
This sudden change immediately surprised everyone. The maid serving the food was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground: "This servant was careless. I don't know what tripped me... This servant really didn't mean it!"
She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She was Xie Yun's maid who came with her as a dowry. If anything happened on the day of the young lady's wedding, a beating would be the least of her trouble. She would probably be sold off.
Fortunately, Quanfu was a clever talker and immediately said with a smile, "Jade can turn misfortune into good fortune. This shattered jade has warded off disaster. From now on, you two will live happily and harmoniously!"
Xie Yun looked towards Luo Yining. The girl just said something tripped her, but there was clearly nothing on the ground, and only Luo Yining was standing next to her.
Luo Yining had discussed marriage with Cheng Lang before. Perhaps she was still thinking about Cheng Lang, so she was unwilling to give in. Otherwise, why would she appear here to make trouble in her new house and why would she look so complicated.
Why did her Guanyin statue break for no apparent reason?
Xie Yun said calmly, "You just said... something tripped you? The ground was smooth and there was only Mrs. Luo San nearby. Mrs. Luo San, did you see clearly how my girl fell?"
Luo Yining smiled and said, "I didn't see it clearly, so I don't know what Second Miss Xie meant by that."
"I don't know either. If there was nothing to trip her, how could my girl have fallen? This Guanyin statue was brought back from Yunnan by my second uncle. It is crystal white and has a very good meaning. Of course, I don't mean to blame Mrs. Luo San. I just asked casually. Please don't be offended, Mrs. Luo San." Xie Yun said with a smile.
"Miss Xie is right. It was indeed only Mrs. Luo San who was standing next to us..." A lady suddenly interrupted and was then hit by someone, signaling her to shut up.
"Other matters are fine, but it wouldn't be nice to ruin the meaning of this fertility-giving Guanyin statue." Xie Yun lowered his head and smiled again, "Besides, my second uncle rarely comes back from Yunnan, so he brought it here specially for the wedding. Well, let's continue with the gift. It's just a fertility-giving Guanyin statue, so consider it a broken jade to ward off disasters."
How could a girl fall down for no reason? Luo Yining was standing right next to her, and she absolutely did not believe that Luo Yining had not done anything wrong.
Of course, she was just taking advantage of the situation, taking advantage of Luo Yining's inability to react and scolding her. Although there were no accusations, everyone knew that there was a rift between the two of them. The way she looked at Luo Yining was a little subtle, after all, she was indeed the closest.
Was Second Miss Xie just trying to make her suffer? She had already said everything, good or bad. But what about her, who was called in to help and had done nothing, and was implicated for no reason?
Yi Ning also smiled and said, "Since it was a gift from Second Miss Xie's relatives, I naturally understand. I don't think I've touched that girl in the slightest. If Second Miss Xie really has doubts, I won't argue about it. You name a price and I'll pay it first, so that Second Miss Xie won't be upset and feel uncomfortable kissing you." She was not a dough that could be kneaded by anyone. If you messed with her, she would bite back. What about keeping the peace? Just don't mess with her and everything will be fine.
As soon as she said this, the initiative was in her hands.
Xie Yun was furious when she said that. She smiled slowly and said, "Since Mrs. Luo San said she didn't have it, how can I argue with her? Naturally, Mrs. Luo San doesn't need to compensate. It's polite to say that."
