Chapter 255: Entering The Bridal Chamber

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhu Zongyang felt that he was always the one getting triggered by Liu Sanniang in the end. He gritted his teeth and said, “Miss Liu, since you are so confident about your assessment, please take a seat. I believe that today will be a very unforgettable day.”

Zhu Zongyang took a deep breath. He reminded himself not to get worked up about this. When all the guests were here, he would make a fool of Liu Sanniang.

Soon, Wei Shilai and Li Guanfeng came together.

Wei Shilai led Li Guanfeng towards Zhu Zongyang. Wei Shilai nodded at Liu Sanniang as a greeting. Li Guanfeng looked at Liu Sanniang and nodded slightly. Then, he cupped his hands at Zhu Zongyang alongwith Wei Shilai. “Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Zhu.”

Master Wang and Madam Wang also came over. “Magistrate Wei, it’s really a great honor to have you here. I believe this must be Magistrate Li. Nice to meet you.”

Wei Shilai was about to leave Yong County to take on a new position in the capital, so naturally, they had to befriend the new magistrate.

Li Guanfeng was very young, only 26 years old. With a smiling face, he said, “Congratulations, Master Wang and Madam Wang.”

Master Wang and Madam Wang smiled.

Master Wang said to Zhu Zongyang, “In-law, please help me entertain these two magistrates.”

“Absolutely, it’s my honor,” Zhu Zongyang replied, beaming widely.

Zhu Zongyang looked at Wei Shilaid and continued. “Please, take a seat.”

Wei Shilai and Li Guanfeng nodded and walked over to where Zhu Zongyang was pointing.

As soon as the clock struck twelve, joyous music was heard outside, accompanied by the voice of the matchmaker. “The bride is here.”

Everyone stopped talking and waited quietly for the newly-wed to enter.

Wang Xu was wearing a red wedding gown and holding one end of the red silk with a smile while the other end was held by Zhu Yan.

Step by step, they slowly walked into everyone’s line of sight.

When the newly-weds arrived at the main hall, Wang Xu smiled and said, “Father, Mother.”

Master Wang and Madam Wang’s eyes turned red. Madam Wang wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and nodded with a smile. “Good, good.”

Old Master Wang also smiled. “Good, my good son.”

Zhu Yan knew that her parents were also present. She said gently, “Father, Mother.”

Madam Yu’s eyes were red as she covered her mouth and nodded. “Good, good.”

Zhu Zongyang smiled. “Good, my good daughter.”

After that, the matchmaker shouted at the top of her lungs. “Now, it’s time for the wedding ceremony to formally begin.”

Wang Xu led the red silk to the center. Zhu Yan followed in his footsteps. After they arrived at the center of the hall, the matchmaker shouted again. “Bow to the heavens and kneel to the earth.”

Both Wang Xu and Zhu Yan knelt down.

After the two of them got up, the matchmaker shouted once more. “Now, bow and kneel to your parents.”

Zhu Zongyang said happily, “Get up, get up.”

Master Wang and Madam Wang both smiled. “Alright, alright, get up.”

Madam Yu had mixed feelings at the moment. Her heart seemed to be tightly squeezed by something. When she saw her daughter kneel down, the suffocating feeling became intense. She looked in Liu Sanniang’s direction and met her cold eyes. Her vision suddenly blurred.

The matchmaker smiled. “Now, bow to each other.”

Wang Xu and Zhu Yan faced each other. After bowing to each other, they were sent to the bridal chamber.

Zhu Yan suddenly stumbled and Wang Xu reached out to support her. Hand in hand, they slowly disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Master Wang smiled. “Let’s start the banquet. Today, you must enjoy yourself.”

Everyone laughed and cupped their hands. “Of course.”

Wei Shilai looked at Liu Sanniang and was a little nervous. The news of Zhu Zongyang rejecting Liu Sanniang’s help had spread throughout the government office. Lin Zheng and the others had even gone to persuade Zhu Zongyang.

When Zhu Zongyang resigned, Wei Shilai also tried to persuade him. However, Zhu Zongyang insisted that there was no need to worry.

Wei Shilai did not say anything more because it was useless.

Wei Shilai retracted his gaze. He really did not want anything bad to happen. Even if this meant that Liu Sanniang would be mocked, he still hoped so.

Li Guanfeng also looked in the direction of Liu Sanniang. He lowered his voice. “Magistrate Wei, is she the psychic you were talking about?”

Wei Shilai nodded. “Yes, Miss Liu has a high achievement of cultivation. If you need any help in the future, you can look for her. Miss Liu is righteous and will help.”

Li Guanfeng smiled faintly. “Thank you for the reminder, Magistrate Wei. I will. Magistrate Wei, try this. This wine is good.”

Li Guanfeng looked at Wei Shilai and continued. “Magistrate Wei, as far as I can remember, you’re a person who doesn’t believe in mystics.”

Wei Shilai nodded. “I didn’t believe it before, but after getting to know Miss Liu, I started to believe in it.”

Wei Shilai did not hide it from Li Guanfeng. He did not care if Li Guanfeng would make fun of him either. He just followed his heart.

Li Guanfeng smiled. “I believe in mystics too. I just don’t believe in people who know mystics.”

Wei Shilai was stunned. He did not expect Li Guanfeng to believe in mystics. He thought that Li Guanfeng would take this chance to say something sarcastic to him.

People who believed in mystics would most likely have experienced it themselves.

However, Li Guanfeng did not take the initiative to mention his experience, and Wei Shilai did not ask him either.

Wei Shilai raised his glass. “To Magistrate Li.”

Li Guanfeng smiled. “It’s a pity that Magistrate Wei will be going to the capital soon. Otherwise, I really want to find a time to have a good drink with you.”

Li Guanfeng was paying attention to Liu Sanniang all this while. He had also heard that Liu Sanniang said that this joyful occasion would end up becoming a sad one. Now that the bride and groom had been sent to the bridal chamber, everything seemed to go without a hitch. Liu Sanniang’s prediction didn’t seem to come true.

However, she could sit still and eat calmly. She didn’t even care about the mocking glances Zhu Zongyang threw at her from time to time. Li Gunnafeng wondered how long she could remain calm like that.
