AWB Chapter 362 Sending Them to the Bridal Chamber
Chapter 362 Sending Them to the Bridal Chamber
Yu Wan nodded gently, her voice tinged with emotion through the red veil: "Mother, don't worry, I will."
She grew up in an orphanage and had never experienced this kind of caring and warm family affection.
But after transmigrating into the book, I felt it in both Madam Shen and the Duchess of Anguo.
It was unfamiliar, yet she found herself liking it very much.
Hearing her words, the Duchess of Anguo finally couldn't hold back her tears. There was a gentle knock on the door, followed by the loud and cheerful voice of Granny Tianfu:
"The new son-in-law has come to pick up the bride!"
Lady Anguo quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears, a smile appearing on her lips as she looked towards the door.
Yu Wan's vision was obscured by the red veil, but she could still hear the man's footsteps approaching.
With Yun Shang's appearance, even when dressed in a low-key and simple manner, he is already quite eye-catching.
Today he is wearing a red wedding dress.
The wedding dresses he wore and Yu Wan wore were both meticulously crafted by embroiderers at great expense by the Duchess of Anguo.
The once aloof and noble Yun Shang, now dressed in red, possessed an even more dazzling and alluring beauty than before.
Even the Duchess of Anguo, who was already a mother, couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Yun Shang is a truly handsome young man. She has seen many outstanding young men in Shengjing City, but she has never seen anyone as handsome as Yun Shang.
The more Lady Anguo looked at him, the more satisfied she became.
Yun Shang walked steadily to the Lady of Anguo, bowed respectfully, and said in a clear and gentle voice, "Mother-in-law, your son-in-law has come to greet Wan'er."
Lady Anguo's eyes were full of affection. "Very well, Wan'er is in your care. You must treat her well in the future."
Yun Shang nodded solemnly, then turned and walked towards Yu Wan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Yu Wan only saw a section of red cloud-patterned shoes appear in her line of sight, followed by a deep and gentle voice in her ear, "Hold me."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was suddenly lifted into the air and held firmly in Yun Shang's arms.
Yu Wan subconsciously reached out and hugged Yun Shang's neck, her face under the red veil instantly blushing.
Yun Shang carried Yu Wan and slowly walked towards the door, taking each step carefully, as if afraid of dropping the person in his arms.
Seeing this, Granny Tianfu's face was full of smiles, and she shouted loudly, "The groom is carrying the bride, everyone make way!"
Friends, relatives, maids, and servants all made way for them.
Yu Wan had never felt so at ease in someone's arms.
She was held in Yun Shang's arms and didn't feel any jolting at all. Instead, she felt as if she were floating on a cloud, which was extremely comfortable.
Lady Anguo and her family followed behind, escorting them all the way to the bridal sedan chair.
A maid lifted the sedan curtain, and Yun Shang bent down to gently place Yu Wan into the sedan. She then carefully straightened her skirt before whispering, "You'll be a little tired today. If you're hungry or tired, be sure to tell me."
Yu Wan knew without a doubt how complicated ancient weddings were. Through the red veil, she nodded gently, "I understand."
Yun Shang then turned around, lowered the sedan curtain, and mounted his horse.
With a loud firecracker, the wedding procession slowly set off, heading towards the street where the Yun residence was located.
As Yu Wan expected, after all the trouble along the way, it was already three hours later when Yu Wan finally sat down in the Yun family's new house.
The heavy phoenix coronet and wedding gown she was wearing were already making her uncomfortable, and after all this, Yu Wan felt as if all the bones in her body were about to fall apart.
Seeing that she was sitting crookedly on the new bed, Xizhu quickly peeked out and whispered a reminder: "Miss, sit up straight, someone is coming to make trouble in the bridal chamber."
Long before the Yun family relatives bullied the Shen family's orphaned children and widows, Yun Shang resolutely severed ties with them.
None of the guests at today's wedding banquet are members of the Yun family; they are all Yun Shang's classmates and friends from the past years, as well as his colleagues from the court.
Although Xie Qizheng was unable to come to the courtyard of Bailu Academy in Huicheng County this time, he still sent all the Xie family nephews and nieces from the capital to the Yun family to offer their congratulations.
To Yu Wan's surprise, she also heard Zhou Shi'an's voice.
"Brother Yun, don't think you can get away with this so easily today..."
Zhou Shi'an's loud and boisterous voice stood out in the noisy environment.
Yu Wan's head was covered by a veil, so she didn't know how many people had entered the room, but one thing was certain: there were quite a few people.
One sentence from each person could almost lift the whole house upside down.
Just as Yu Wan was getting annoyed by the noise, she heard a cold voice from inside the room, "Are you really going to cause trouble?"
The voice was so cold and clear, like the snow that never melts in winter, carrying a chill that made people shiver.
The room suddenly fell silent.
Immediately, Yu Wan heard the group's hesitant responses.
“Our Minister Yun can’t wait to drink anymore. Alright, alright, let’s not tease the bride, let’s all go outside and drink.”
"Yes, yes, I've never seen Brother Yun drink before. Today I'd like to see just how much you can drink."
"Let's go, let's all go outside and wait..."
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded in the room, and then it quickly fell silent.
Before leaving, Zhou Shi'an seemed still full of resentment, muttering, "Brother Yun, how can you have such a cold face on such a joyous day..."
Zhou Shi'an's voice grew softer and softer.
Even though Yu Wan couldn't see it, she knew that Yun Shang's cold gaze at Zhou Shi'an must have scared him into silence.
After the footsteps completely disappeared, Xizhu whispered in her ear, "Miss, they've all left. Only the young master is left."
As soon as Xizhu finished speaking, a section of red boots appeared in Yu Wan's line of sight.
The next moment, Yun Shang used the auspicious scale to lift her veil.
Yu Wan subconsciously looked up and met a pair of dark, brooding eyes.
Yu Wan clearly noticed a flash of amazement in Yun Shang's eyes.
She couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.
Today's makeup was done by the best makeup artist in the capital, commissioned by the Duchess of Anguo. Even Yu Wan stared at her face for a long time after the makeup was done.
Yun Shang was indeed amazed by Yu Wan in front of him.
Yu Wan's face was seven parts pure and natural, and three parts charming and alluring. Her eyes were like glass beads, clear and bright, clean and pure. No man could resist such a gaze.
Yun Shang's eyes darkened. If there weren't guests waiting outside, he would have just kicked Xi Zhu out and locked the door.
He lowered his eyes, avoiding Yu Wanqing's bright gaze, and asked slowly, "Are you hungry?"
From the time she got up and dressed until now, Yu Wan hadn't eaten anything, except for a cup of Wanfu tea in the morning.
She blinked and said softly, "I'm hungry."
Yun Shang suddenly raised his hand and gently straightened the tangled tassels of her hair, his gaze intense. "I'll have someone bring you some food later, so have something to eat first."
Xizhu couldn't help but remind him from the side, "Young master, according to the rules, the madam cannot eat right now..."
Before Xizhu could finish speaking, Yunshang decisively said, "There's no need to be bound by these rules. Eat when you're hungry."
