Chapter 30: The Wedding (4)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The sound of gongs and drums filled the air, but the bridal sedan was as quiet as a chicken.

Bai Weiyang was dozing off when she arrived at the Military Governor’s residence in a daze.

After the long bridal ceremony ended, Bai Weiyang couldn’t continue sleeping. After getting off the bridal sedan, she was helped into the Military Governor’s residence.

There were loud voices and noisy discussions everywhere.

Faint sighs entered her ears.

“Poor thing.”

“Isn’t that so? The Military Governor is so considerate of the people, but in the end he has to marry an idiot!”

“The Feng Family really abide by the agreement. No matter how others mock Bai Weiyang for being a fool, the Military Governor doesn’t leave Bai Weiyang. I’m so touched!”

“What do you know.”

“Am I wrong?”

Someone in the crowd who seemed to know the situation spoke secretly,

“You’re all wrong! Everyone in the upper-class society knows that Feng Songjie doesn’t like that fool, Bai Weiyang, but the Feng Family is extremely prideful. They don’t want to be labeled as abandoning their stupid fiancée, so they forced themselves to accept! This led to today’s tragic situation!”

Everyone whispered to each other when they heard that.

“That’s right. If the Military Governor really likes Bai Weiyang, why would he get Adjutant Yang to the wedding ceremony? This shows his attitude. Furthermore, there aren’t many guests invited to the wedding today.”

“If it were me, I might not even want to invite anyone! Marrying a fool… How embarrassing would it be if word got out in the future!”

Bai Weiyang listened to the discussions in the crowd and laughed it off. Thankfully, the other party didn’t come to welcome the bride. Then, she could treat this wedding as an important rehearsal in her life!

First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to the parents.

The Chief Commander had been busy at the borders of the warlords in the southeast and couldn’t come back. Only Wu Su sat in the high hall with a gratified expression.

Bai Weiyang and the “groom” continued with the ceremony!

She listened to the marriage witness read it out loud.

“A carriage between two families is a contract between two families. The good relationship will last forever, and they’ll be called the same. Look at the peach blossoms burning on this day. It’s suitable for a married couple. Look at the melons in the future, they will be burning with passion. I’ll write the promise of a white-haired marriage down so that this marriage alliance can be embodied. This is the proof.”

At that moment, Bai Weiyang truly felt as though a lifetime had passed.

There were also people around who disregarded etiquette and whispered to each other,

“Military Governor said that he can’t come back because he has something on. It’s because he doesn’t want to marry Bai Weiyang!”

“It would have been better if they had broken off the engagement. Now, they have to force themselves to marry this fool. It will be even uglier if they divorce in the future!”

“Maybe he doesn’t want to leave his wife?”

“He simply has to marry a few more concubines!”

The witness was extremely embarrassed. He pretended not to hear the gossip and shouted,

“The ceremony is complete. Send them into the bridal chamber!”

Five minutes later.

Bai Weiyang sat on the wedding bed.

After everyone left, she immediately lifted the red veil and sized up the house for a moment. There was no one inside.

The bed was covered with a dragon and phoenix quilt and a red brocade quilt. All kinds of wedding fruits were scattered on it. There were red dates, longan, dried lychees, red mung beans, and so on. There were also a few red packets. It was a joyous scene.

Outside.

Wu Su was extremely anxious.

Who knew that the groom would run away on the day of the wedding!

That young brat, Second Feng! How dare he disappear!

Damn it.

She smiled at the guests as she asked Er Mo,

“Is Second Feng still nowhere to be found?”

“Madam, not yet.”

“…”
