Chapter 379: The Playboy from a Noble Family and the Daughter of a Married Woman (2)
The faces of the guests watching nearby were filled with joy.
No matter what they thought in their hearts, auspicious words came out of their mouths and the atmosphere instantly became lively.
Ruan Guannan tightened the apple in his hand and covered it towards himself. The movement was not large, but was accidentally caught by Wei Jingzhou who was standing next to him.
He frowned and glanced at her without taking it seriously. After looking away, he began to worship heaven and earth in a proper manner according to Grandma Xi's instructions.
There was no extra emotion on Wei Jingzhou's face, neither sad nor happy, as if getting married was not a special day.
"A worship of heaven and earth..."
"Second worship high hall..."
"Husband and wife pay homage..."
The two of them followed Grandma Xi's instructions and worshipped heaven and earth step by step.
As they bowed to each other, the distance between them shortened, so close that when Wei Jingzhou lowered his head he could smell a faint rich fragrance.
He slightly distanced himself from her and walked her to the door of the room amid everyone's blessings.
Only when he sat on the bed, away from the hustle and bustle of the front hall, did Ruan Guannan breathe a sigh of relief.
It was the first time for her to go through the ancient wedding ceremony so formally and completely. Besides the novelty, she felt even more exhausted.
Now she just wanted to take off her hairpins and relax, but unfortunately it was not the right time yet.
The maidservant next to her noticed her intention and kindly reminded her: "Miss, the veil has to be lifted by the son-in-law, so just hold on."
Ruan Guannan asked calmly, "Where is Bai Lu?"
"Sister Bai Lu is still in the mansion. You will be able to see her on the day you return home."
The little maid was afraid that she would cause trouble, so she quickly added:
"I, Cai'er, will be your maid from now on. You can tell me to do anything for you."
"Ah."
Ruan Guannan responded indifferently and didn't ask any more questions.
Cai'er couldn't help feeling a little strange when she saw how calm she was and not curious about her current situation at all.
But things had come to this point, and she could not go against the Second Miss's wishes, so she had to bite the bullet and marry into the Marquis's Mansion.
Ruan Guannan sat calmly on the marriage bed, confirming with 999 in his mind,
[Huang 99, Wei Jingzhou probably already knew about the marriage exchange by now, right?]
999 took a look and couldn't help but sound a little worried, [Yes, host, his servant is talking to him, I guess you will be alone in the empty room tonight. ]
[Yeah, I guess this is going to become a joke.]
Ruan Guannan lightly tapped the golden embroidery thread on the wedding dress with her fingertips, her tone was lazy and casual, as if she was not the one who was about to become the laughing stock.
The bridal chamber was so quiet that only the occasional spark from the red candles could be heard. This lasted until the bustle in the front hall died down, and the groom never arrived, as he was supposed to push the door open.
Cai'er hesitated for a long time, her face full of panic and fear.
Ruan Guannan didn't care about her mood at all. He just lifted the red veil on her head, which scared Cai'er next to her and she subconsciously wanted to cover it back on her.
But the moment she saw the woman's face, Cai'er stood there in a daze for a long time, holding the veil, her eyes full of amazement.
The young lady who lives a secluded life...is she so beautiful?
Ruan Guannan raised his eyes and glanced at her, his voice gentle and soft,
"Cai'er, the time has come. Go to the front yard and remind your husband that I am still waiting for him. By the way, ask the maid outside to come in and help me bathe."
Seeing that the little maid in front of her was still dazed, she frowned slightly, "What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Go quickly."
Cai Er was startled back to her senses by her slightly harsh voice, "Oh, oh, okay miss, I'll go right away."
Ruan Guannan got up from the wedding bed and was helped by the new maid to take a bath and change clothes.
In the front yard, Wei Jingzhou's face was so dark that it almost blended into the night. He pointed at his personal servant with a trembling hand, suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice:
"Tell her to go back and tell her master that she dared to play tricks on our mansion and humiliate me, yet she still wants to have a wedding night? It's just wishful thinking!"
Lingshu looked at his master, whose face was livid, and he swallowed his saliva and quickly retreated. Then he looked at Cai'er below with a serious face.
"Our Master asked you to go back and tell her husband... that he was playing tricks on the Marquis' Mansion. Let her wait and see."
Cai'er's face turned pale with fright. She didn't dare to say anything and ran to the backyard in panic.
Wei Jingzhou let out a deep breath, his expression not improving at all.
He had decided to marry this wife after much consideration. He did not have any requirements for her family background, and a lower family background was even better.
The only requirement is that it has to be pleasing to the eye.
But he himself does not realize how high the standard of "pleasing to the eye" is for him.
After all, although Wei Jingzhou was a well-known playboy with a good family background in the capital, his appearance could definitely win back a lot of favor for him, so there were still many girls who wanted to marry him.
Many people did not understand why he finally chose the daughter of a poor earl's family, but Wei Jingzhou had his own considerations, so his parents did not object.
Although he had never seen the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changyuan, he heard that she was pretty good-looking. As long as she behaved herself and didn't cause any trouble, he was willing to give her some dignity and respect.
But she couldn't even meet such a low requirement, and actually dared to humiliate him by using the marriage exchange!
I also brought someone who was engaged and was about to get married!
They didn't even bother to ask about Wei Jingzhou's name. If they dared to slap him in the face like this, he would never let them go easily.
Wei Jingzhou was so angry that he picked up the fan beside him and fanned himself a few times. The stench of alcohol on his body went straight into his nose, making him feel even worse!
"Lingshu, prepare water for bathing!"
"Yes."
Ling Shusheng was afraid of bringing bad luck to him, so he quickly ran downstairs to ask someone to get some water, and then he saw the little maid who had just left running over timidly.
He frowned fiercely, and the anger in his heart suddenly burst out.
"Why are you here again? The young master is in a bad mood, so leave now!"
Cai'er was threatened from both sides and felt extremely miserable, but she still forced herself to maintain her composure and repeated what Ruan Guannan had just said.
Now it was Lingshu's turn to feel miserable. He gritted his teeth and walked back into the house. Facing the dark gaze from above, he spoke in a muffled voice at a fast pace.
Wei Jingzhou rubbed his brows and said unhappily, "You're talking so quickly about being chased by wolves? What happened?"
Lingshu spoke slowly, but he kept his head down and didn't dare to raise it. "The one in the backyard came to pass on a message, saying... if the young master doesn't go, she's afraid that she might accidentally disturb her mother-in-law's sleep."
'boom! '
Wei Jingzhou stood up suddenly, picked up the tea bowl beside him and smashed it to the ground, his eyes red with anger.
"Ruan is so outrageous!"
Cai'er, who was outside, was so frightened when she heard the roar that she almost couldn't stand. She quickly ran to the backyard, fearing that she would become the new son-in-law's punching bag.
Ruan Guannan changed into red pajamas and sat on the bed, his fingertips lightly touching the fabric as he waited silently.
Soon, there was a loud bang and the door was pushed open by the visitor.
The voice came before the person arrived, "Ruan, this young master originally wanted to give you a little face, but I didn't expect you to go too far. Don't blame this young master..."
The roar stopped abruptly, and the moment their eyes met, one was calm, the other ferocious.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Ruan Guannan was the first to ask, "Don't blame your husband for anything?"
