Chapter 120

Early in the morning, all the people in Zhongzhou City crowded outside the Chu’s Mansion.

Today it was a joyous scene in the Chu’s Mansion with lanterns and decorations hanging. The Chu’s servants were dressed in red clothes and busy going in and out. When they saw the crowd, they distributed wedding candies and cakes. How lively it was!

Pedestrian A exclaimed, “The Chu’s Mansion is so busy today.”

Pedestrian B sighed with emotion, “Of course. The Chu’s two young ladies are getting married together.”

Pedestrian A asked in confusion, “Two young ladies? Doesn’t Lord Chu only have one sister? Why did you say that?”

Pedestrian B explained, “The other lady is Hua Ye’er, the legitimate daughter of the Hua Family. I heard that she ended the mother-daughter relationship with the head of the Xue Family in order to marry the young master of the Xue Family. Then she became Chu Lian’er’s sworn sister based on their good relationship, so she is getting married from the Chu’s Mansion.”

Pedestrian A understood, “I see. No wonder it’s so lively here today!”

Just then, the two pedestrians saw a man and a woman coming from afar and were absorbed in their charms. When the couple approached, they were even more reluctant to look away from them.

The couple was Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo. Duanmu Xi was the officiator, so she didn’t wear a white dress as usual but chose a purple one. This romantic purple set off her less coldness with more mystery. Beside her, Xuanyuan Mo wore a purple brocade robe instead of his usual black or white clothes, which made him more dignified and noble.

The Chu’s gatekeepers and those pedestrians hadn’t come to their senses until Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo entered the Chu’s Mansion together.

At this moment, the guests in the Chu’s Mansion also gazed at Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo’s coming. They were enchanted by the couple’s extraordinary temperament, as if they had drunk good wine.

Duanmu Xi frowned at the dumbfounded crowd and turned towards a young maid, “May I ask which room the brides are in?”

Hearing this, the young maid came to her senses. She pointed excitedly in one direction, “They’re over there.”

“Thank you.” With that, Duanmu Xi pulled Xuanyuan Mo towards the brides’ room.

When their figures were out of sight, the young maid realized what had just happened. She began to regret that she hadn’t shown them the way.

It was not proper for a man to enter a woman’s boudoir, so Duanmu Xi asked Xuanyuan Mo to wait outside and then walked in Chu Lian’er’s room alone.

In the room, a perfect woman whose parents, husband and children were all alive, had just finished depilating the two brides’ faces. Now there were only Chu Lian’er and Hua Ye’er in the room.

At the sight of Duanmu Xi, Hua Ye’er and Chu Lian’er stood up happily and greeted her.

“Mistress”

“Ms. Duanmu.”

Duanmu Xi looked at them in red wedding clothes and laughed, “You brides are the prettiest!”

Instantly, Hua Ye’er and Chu Lian’er blushed. Their faces with light makeup were more attractive.

Duanmu Xi smiled at their shy faces and took out two identical wooden boxes from her arms, “The two Beauty Locking Pills are wedding gifts to you.”

Hua Ye’er and Chu Lian’er looked at the two wooden boxes in surprise and thought, “Beauty Locking Pill? She is giving us a Beauty Locking Pill. All women dream of it!”

Hua Ye’er first came to her senses and said, “Mistress, this gift is too precious for me. I can’t accept it.”

All women wanted to keep young forever, and so did she. However, refined medicines were rare in the Hantian Continent, especially a Beauty Locking Pill might not be available for money. Duanmu Xi was her mistress, how could she accept her precious gift?

“I can’t accept it either,” Chu Lian’er echoed.

Chu Lian’er knew how valuable a Beauty Locking Pill was. In the past, she had once wanted one, but now facing the Beauty Locking Pill, she couldn’t accept it. She was glad that Duanmu Xi could forgive her after she had done bad things to Duanmu Xi. How could she accept this precious gift?

Duanmu Xi shook her head and laughed while shoving the boxes into their hands, “I have specially refined these two Beauty Locking Pills for you guys. Your refusal means that you don’t consider me as a friend!”

Hua Ye’er and Chu Lian’er were shocked by her words. From their first acquaintance with her to now, Duanmu Xi had always seemed aloof and unapproachable. Now that she said such sincere things, they understood that she considered them as friends.

Then they replied in unison.

“Thank you, Mistress.”

“Thank you.”

In this case, it would be too pretentious for them to insist on refusing, not to mention that they were afraid of losing Duanmu Xi as a friend.

Duanmu Xi saw them accept the Beauty Locking Pills and continued, “Take the pill now. It has a special function besides keeping your young face.”

If the elders saw the pills, they would be greatly surprised. In their views, the two Beauty Locking Pills were super-level and far superior to the top-level ones.

Without any hesitation, Hua Ye’er and Chu Lian’er took the pills as Duanmu Xi told them.

In a moment, they felt a rapid change on their faces and covered their faces in surprise while looking at each other.

“Your… Your face…”

After recovering from shock, they turned to look in the mirror and sighed secretly, “Wow, we’re more beautiful! Although it is the same face as before, it looks more exquisite and attractive.”

“This is the special function of the pills. Hurry up and put your veils on. You can surprise your husbands at your wedding night,” Duanmu Xi said and put the bride’s veils on their heads.

“Thank you!” Hua Ye’er and Chu Lian’er thanked Duanmu Xi again, even though it was far from enough to express their gratitude.

A short while later, Xue Luochen and Yue Ruye came to pick up their brides. As the officiator of Xue Luochen and Hua Ye’er, Duanmu Xi went to the Xue’s Mansion.

To be precise, it was Xue Luochen’s Mansion. After breaking away from the Xue family, Xue Luochen built it and would start a new life with Hua Ye’er here.

As soon as Xue Luochen and Hua Ye’er’s wedding was successfully over, Duanmu Xi left with Xuanyuan Mo.

In the bridal chamber, Hua Ye’er was waiting for Xue Luochen with some nervousness and expectation.

As for Xue Luochen, he sneaked back into the bridal chamber under the guise of going to the toilet.

Hearing the door open and the familiar footsteps, Hua Ye’er tightened her grip on her red dress nervously. All of a sudden, her face lightened up, and she realized that Xue Luochen lifted her veil, but she was too shy to look up at him.

Xue Luochen stared at Hua Ye’er with fascination. She was so beautiful today and finally became his wife.

“My dear wife…” He could call her “wife”.

Xue Luochen sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Hua Ye’er, who was bowing her head shyly. He couldn’t help but give her a gentle lift on the chin and bent down to kiss her lips, but he heard a disorderly knock at the door.

This startled them. Hua Ye’er looked down shyly again, while Xue Luochen complained in his heart, “I knew those guys wouldn’t leave me space easily. Fortunately, I had a plan.”

Xue Luochen picked up Hua Ye’er’s bridal veil and put it on her head. Then he carried her and flew out of the back window. Because he had guessed that his friends wouldn’t let him into the bridal chamber easily, so he chose this room with a back window to escape.

Hua Ye’er felt that she flew in his arms for a while before stopping. Then he put her on a bed and lifted her veil.

Looking at the familiar room in front of her, Hua Ye’er asked with a frown, “Where are we?”

She seemed to have been here but couldn’t remember the exact date.

“This is the Lingyan Pavilion.”

Hearing it, Hua Ye’er pointed at Xue Luochen and shouted in anger, “Damn it. I can’t believe that you are unrepentant and came to a brothel on our wedding night.”

The Lingyan Pavilion was the most famous brothel in Zhongzhou City. No wonder it looked familiar to her. Wasn’t it the place where she first met him? At that time, she was in the Lingyan Pavilion because of Hua Xian’er and her father’s trap, and she met him and was then tightly bound to him.

Seeing this, Xue Luochen held Hua Ye’er’s hand at once and soothed her, “Ye’er, I didn’t. You’re wrong…”

Before Xue Luochen could finish speaking, Hua Ye’er shook off his hand, “Don’t make excuses. Isn’t this your old favorite place? I don’t want to dwell on your past, but you did this on our wedding night…”

With that, Hua Ye’er shed tears.

Xue Luochen was distressed for her and wiped her tears, “Silly girl, I didn’t. If I wanted to go to a brothel, would I have brought you here with me?”

The Lingyan Pavilion was his property and not opened for business because today was his wedding day. This room in the backyard was reserved for him. Except for him, Hua Ye’er and a cleaner, no one had come in.

But Hua Ye’er didn’t listen to his explanation and continued to cry.

Xue Luochen had no choice but to whisper in her ear with a blush, “I’ve never slept with a prostitute, so I’m… I’m still a virgin.”

Hua Ye’er immediately stopped crying and looked up at Xue Luochen with tearful eyes, “Really?”

Xue Luochen sighed and knew that she did care about his past. He carried her to the bed and teased her, “You’ll know it after sleeping with me.”

Hua Ye’er blushed at his words.

Soon, the room was filled with their happy breaths. It was the most beautiful music in the world.

On the other side, Yue Ruye finally entered the bridal chamber surrounded by the crowd after a day’s tedious wedding procedures.

“Ruye, let us have a look at your bride!”

“Bride…”

“Bride…”

The crowd’s uproar forced Yue Ruye to pick up the wedding scale aside helplessly, but he was so nervous that he hesitated to lift Chu Lian’er’s veil.

At this point, Chu Lian’er sat by the bed, and her hands were sweaty with nervousness.

“Ruye, do you want our help?!”

“Ha ha ha…” One young man’s joke made the crowd laugh.

Yue Ruye lifted Chu Lian’er’s veil carefully and saw a familiar but a little strange face.

Today Chu Lian’er was so beautiful that he felt unreal.

The other people in the room were also stunned by Chu Lian’er’s beauty. They met Chu Lian’er before and knew that she was beautiful, but Chu Lian’er didn’t look as delicate and beautiful as she was today.

Yue Ruye felt as if he was in a dream as he was dragged through various games until bedtime.

After the two weddings, the makeup artist who did the bridal makeup for Chu Lian’er and Hua Ye’er began to have a brisk business. Attracted by her fame, many people came to her to have their makeup done.
