554 Bullying Children (1)
The eldest branch of the Yuan family married two daughters off in a day. One was married to Earl Rong, who was more than 50 years old, and the other was married to Young General Xiao, who had a good family and good looks.
Due to the difference in their marriages, the two sisters were discussed enthusiastically. It was about how Eldest Miss Yuan had married well, unlike Second Miss who did not know how long she could live.
However, when they saw that Young General Xiao had taken in a n.o.ble concubine on the day he married his main wife, the person who said these words fell silent.
The Yuan family had not chosen their ancestral graves well. Not only had they gradually declined since Pavilion Elder Yuan, but their daughters were also getting more and more miserable.
!!
When they heard that Miss Yuan was the one who made the decision to let Xiao Qirui marry the concubine, everyone could only be envious of Xiao Qirui. After all, which man didn’t want to marry a magnanimous wife and have multiple concubines?
Feng Manman tried her best to suppress the excitement in her heart. She raised her hand and lifted the curtain, wanting to sneak a look at the man outside.
As soon as she placed her hand on a corner of the curtain, the sedan chair suddenly stopped.
Feng Manman paused. Before she could ask, she heard the bridesmaid’s voice. “Madam Feng, Young General said that according to the rules, we have to wait for the person behind to pa.s.s before entering the residence through the back door.”
The bridesmaid’s words were like a basin of cold water that poured over her.
Feng Manman felt that she must be mocking her in her heart at this moment. Her face burned as if she had been slapped.
She clenched her fists and tried her best to keep her voice normal. “Brother Xiao values rules the most. That’s how it should be.”
The bridesmaid glanced at the sedan chair strangely and agreed with a smile.
You Bai was still holding the handkerchief that Yuan Yuwan had given her. However, there were no longer tears in her eyes. She looked like a victorious rooster. She raised her head and puffed out her chest. When she pa.s.sed by the pink sedan chair, she spat.
Yuan Yuwan felt helpless. She knew that this wasn’t the time to lecture someone.
The Song family’s carriage fell behind the two bridal sedans. Shen Yijia saw all of this and snorted.
“Xiao Qirui isn’t someone who doesn’t know his limits,” Song Jingchen said helplessly.
Not only was he as stubborn as General Xiao, but he was also less discerning. This was also why Song Jingchen told General Xiao about his suspicions but didn’t tell Young General Xiao.
The onlooker had a clearer view of the situation. Xiao Qirui believed that Feng Manman had saved his life, and thus ruined her own life. Without evidence, it was very difficult for him to suspect Feng Manman.
In Song Jingchen’s opinion, he had suffered too little.
Due to the fact that Xiao Qirui’s actions were pleasing to the eye just now, Shen Yijia did not refute. She also realized that apart from being blind, Xiao Qirui did not have any other major flaws.
The bridal escort team stopped in front of General Xiao’s residence. Xiao Qirui dismounted and walked straight to the bridal sedan chair, extending his well-defined hand.
Looking at the hand that suddenly appeared in front of her, Yuan Yuwan was a little dazed.
Before knowing Feng Manman, she had also looked forward to her life with her husband after marriage and teaching her children in the backyard.
However… this did not belong to her in the end!
Yuan Yuwan hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she did not put her hand on his.
Once a person had wild thoughts, they would easily lose themselves. She didn’t like it!
Xiao Qirui waited for a while and saw that there was no movement inside. Worried that something had happened, he was about to lift the curtain when someone suddenly grabbed his sleeve. At the same time, the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted and Yuan Yuwan walked out.
Xiao Qirui was stunned. He looked down at the place where the two of them were intertwined. The sleeves of the wedding robes were wide and covered their hands. To outsiders, it looked like they were holding hands, but in fact, she was only tugging at the corner of his sleeve.
The bridesmaid came over with the red silk with a smile. Before Xiao Qirui could react, Yuan Yuwan had already let go of him to grab one end of the red silk.
“Oh my, Young General, you can’t take your eyes off the bride. However, this auspicious time doesn’t wait for anyone. You have to pay respects first. When you return to the new house, you can look as much as you want,” the bridesmaid reminded him teasingly.
It caused the surrounding crowd to roar with laughter.
Xiao Qirui pursed his lips and retracted his complicated gaze. He reached out to take the red silk.
The bride stepped over the brazier, intending to live happily ever after as husband and wife.
Then, with a series of auspicious words from the bridesmaid, the two of them arrived at the lobby.
General Xiao and his wife sat in the armchair at the head of the table. Looking at the couple below them, Madam Xiao finally smiled.
The two of them have been engaged since young, but it was not easy for them to reach this stage.
Thinking of the whips that General Xiao had broken, Madam Xiao’s heart still ached.
Xiao Ruoshui stood at the side and heaved a sigh of relief. She noticed the people who had entered behind the newcomers and pushed through the crowd. “Jiajia, Brother Chen… Brother Song, why are you only here now?”
