“I’m not sending you away, where did you get that idea?” Qin Yun was amused, finding it hard to speak.
“I don’t want that house!” Xiao Ju pouted.
“Once something is given, there’s no reason to take it back. Anyway, the house is yours. Whether you live in it or not is up to you!”
“Young Master, you’re truly not sending me away?”
“You can continue to stay in the side room next to mine, but I fear…!”
Xiao Ju asked curiously, “Fear what?”
“I fear it will be unfair to Qingshan!” Qin Yun said meaningfully, looking at Xiao Ju.
Xiao Ju blushed at Qin Yun’s gaze, understanding the implication of her eyes.
“Young Master, you’re so wicked!” Xiao Ju lowered her head shyly.
“Alright, you’re married now, don’t be so willful! Put on your headwear and be a beautiful bride!” Qin Yun took out the butterfly headdress she had prepared earlier and personally placed it on Xiao Ju’s head.
“Young Master, I am just a maid, how can I wear a headdress?”
“You are not only my maid, but also my sister!” Qin Yun smiled gently.
Xiao Ju bit her lower lip, feeling both happy and touched. Tears began to fall uncontrollably.
“Silly girl, don’t cry, you won’t look good if you keep crying!”
“Young Master…!”
Qin Yun shook her head and smiled, wiping away Xiao Ju’s tears. “The auspicious hour has arrived, put on the bridal veil!”
After the bridal veil was placed, Xiao Ju quickly regained her composure.
Young Master was right, today was a joyous occasion, she had to marry Qingshan happily!
Otherwise, that dull fellow would think she regretted the marriage if he saw her crying!
Xiao Ju was helped out of the room by Granny Tian.
Outside the door!
Qingshan, dressed in his red wedding attire, looked even more dashing and heroic.
The other young maids watching him felt quite smitten, but alas, he was already taken.
Seeing Xiao Ju emerge, Qingshan rushed forward and clasped her hand.
“Xiao Ju!” Qingshan was very excited, his eyes and heart filled only with Xiao Ju at this moment.
Qin Yun, standing nearby, chuckled, “You haven’t even paid your respects yet, what’s the hurry?”
Qingshan realized he had lost his composure.
Reluctantly, he released Xiao Ju’s hand and knelt before Qin Yun, saying, “Thank you for your kindness, Master. I will treat Xiao Ju well!”
“Alright, cross the red carpet and proceed to the front hall for the wedding ceremony!” Qin Yun felt a bit embarrassed by Qingshan’s sentimentality.
If she didn’t leave now, and Xiao Ju continued to get emotional, she truly wouldn’t be able to bear it.
Qin Yun walked at the forefront, while Xiao Ju and Qingshan went hand in hand to the front hall.
Uncle Fu presided over the ceremony today. Qin Yun sat on the side, and Qin Yuanzhang, as the elder, sat at the head.
“First bow to heaven and earth!” Xiao Ju and Qingshan knelt towards the heavens and earth.
“Second bow to the esteemed elders!” The two turned and bowed to Qin Yuanzhang.
Having been orphaned from a young age, and Xiao Ju having grown up in the Qin manor, Qin Yuanzhang was naturally considered an elder.
“Husband and wife bow to each other!” The two stood facing each other, their hearts filled with joy, bowing ninety degrees.
It was evident that both Xiao Ju and Qingshan liked each other.
“Enter the bridal chamber!”
With the words spoken!
The servants and maids in the manor urged the couple to enter the bridal chamber!
Having been orphans since childhood, Qin Yun had long decided to have the western courtyard of the manor prepared as their bridal chamber.
Upon hearing Qin Yun’s decision, Xiao Ju and Qingshan were deeply moved.
Xiao Ju was very pleased with Qin Yun’s arrangements and had nothing to say.
As for Qingshan, as long as Xiao Ju was happy, he had no objections to where the bridal chamber was located.
Inside the bridal chamber!
The nanny brought the wedding wine, and the bride and groom were to drink the cross-cupped wine before retiring to the bridal chamber.
The whole process made Xiao Ju very awkward, while Qingshan was much more composed.
At least he wasn’t as nervous as Xiao Ju.
The consummation of the marriage went very smoothly that night.
No one in the manor dared to play pranks on the newlyweds, as they were all servants and maids, who would dare to act rashly?
Qingshan, who appeared cold and aloof, was actually not to be trifled with, so no servants dared to tease him.
After the nanny left!
Xiao Ju sat on the edge of the bed, her hands tightly gripping the corner of her wedding dress.
Despite her usually boisterous nature, when it came to the bridal chamber, she turned into a timid turtle.
At this moment, Qingshan walked step by step towards Xiao Ju.
Xiao Ju lowered her head and saw Qingshan approaching through the edge of the bridal veil.
The next second!
Qingshan sat directly on the edge of the bed and slowly lifted Xiao Ju’s red veil.
Then, a bright and beautiful face appeared before Qingshan.
Qingshan’s Adam’s apple bobbed. His large hand unconsciously caressed Xiao Ju’s face.
“My wife, you are so beautiful!”
Xiao Ju said shyly, her face flushed, “You smooth talker!”
“I’m serious, you look truly beautiful today!” Qingshan took Xiao Ju’s hand and held it tightly.
“Qingshan, let go, you’re hurting me!”
Fearing he had truly hurt her, Qingshan quickly let go.
He had been too excited just now, so his grip had been a bit too strong.
“What did you call me?” Qingshan asked with a smile.
Xiao Ju, her face red, replied, “It’s just a way of addressing you, what’s wrong?”
“Wife, you should call me ‘Xianggong’ or ‘Fujun’!”
Xiao Ju looked at Qingshan in front of her with surprise!
Was this still the Qingshan she knew?
Wasn’t Qingshan a dullard?
How was he so good at charming her now?
“Um, shouldn’t we be drinking the bridal wine now?” Xiao Ju, wanting to avoid the current topic, changed the subject.
Unexpectedly, Qingshan let out a laugh. “I didn’t expect my wife to be more eager than I am!”
Eager for what?
Where was this person’s mind going?
Xiao Ju chose to remain silent and not speak further.
The more she said, the more mistakes she would make.
Young Master was right, Qingshan was cunning. Who knew what he was thinking inside?
She suddenly felt that getting married so early was a mistake, and that they should have waited a few more years!
Was it too late to regret it now?
“Wife! What are you thinking about? Come… let’s drink the bridal wine!” Qingshan brought two cups of wine and handed one to Xiao Ju.
Xiao Ju didn’t hesitate. She took the cup and was about to drink it all in one go.
But Qingshan stopped her. “The bridal wine isn’t drunk like this!”
“Then how should it be drunk?”
Qingshan didn’t speak, but demonstrated directly.
He wrapped his arm around Xiao Ju’s wrist and drank the wine.
Xiao Ju felt that Qingshan before her was quite playful!
Following Qingshan’s example, she drank the wine in the cup.
After drinking the wine, Xiao Ju didn’t know what to do next.
Right!
She remembered!
The next step was to consummate the marriage!
Xiao Ju opened her hazy, large eyes and cheered herself on in her heart.
They had hugged before, so she should be bolder today!
With a resolute heart!
She closed her eyes!
And threw her arms around Qingshan, planting her red lips onto his.
Qingshan hadn’t expected Xiao Ju to be so proactive!
She had been so shy just moments ago, and now she was taking the initiative, which was indeed unexpected!
However… he liked it!
Just as he was about to embrace Xiao Ju and respond,
Xiao Ju pulled away.
She said happily, “Alright, consummation complete!”
Qingshan was a bit stunned!
Consummation complete?
He hadn’t even done anything yet!
Did his little wife think that consummation meant just a kiss?
In the front yard!
Qin Yun slapped her forehead!
Oh no!
She had forgotten something important!
Xiao Ju, despite her outwardly boisterous nature, was actually completely ignorant about such matters.
She hadn’t explained the details of the bridal chamber to Xiao Ju.
She should go buy a small booklet for Xiao Ju to read and learn before her wedding.
Now, she had no idea what the situation was like between the two of them in the bridal chamber tonight.
She could only place her hopes on Qingshan now.
