Chapter 413: Consummation
Editor: Atlas Studios
After a simple ceremony, Mu Yangling was sent to the bridal chamber. Qi Xiuyuan did not appear, but Li Jinghua walked around with a smile. However, everyone saw her slightly red eyes, so they tacitly did not stay any longer.
Qi Haoran was very lucky. When he reached the front, he was only let go after symbolically drinking two glasses of wine. Then, the Qi Residence sent all the guests away early.
Only then did Qi Xiuyuan get off the bed and say to Qi Haoran, who was sitting in the room, “It’s been hard on you two. Go back and accompany Ah Ling.”
Marriage was a major event in life. In order to put on an act this time, the liveliness of the wedding was greatly reduced. Indeed, it had been hard on the two of them.
However, Qi Haoran felt that it was all good as long as his family was happy. Hence, he did not mind at all and ran to the bridal chamber to look for his bride.
Mu Yangling was still sitting on the bed. When the nanny saw Qi Haoran enter, she pursed her lips and smiled. She went forward and tugged at him. “Fourth Young Master, you’re here. Quickly lift the bride’s veil.”
Qi Haoran only stared at Mu Yangling. He casually picked up the scale beam on the plate and lifted Mu Yangling’s veil. Mu Yangling looked up at Qi Haoran, her face rosy and her lips red. Although her face was so thickly covered with rouge that it was impossible to see her original appearance, Qi Haoran could not help but grin.
Mu Yangling couldn’t help but purse her lips and laugh. The duo’s hearts brimmed with joy as they gazed at each other.
This being the first time the nanny had seen a pair of newlyweds so devoid of shyness, she couldn’t help but comment “Geez”. After seeing the two of them lower their heads with red faces, she smiled and brought a bowl of dumplings over from the table. She asked Qi Haoran to sit beside Mu Yangling and pick up a dumpling for her. Seeing that she had bitten half of it, she asked, “Is it raw or not1?”
“…Raw.”
The nanny happily picked up two small wooden gourd ladles and filled them with wine. “You have to drink it in one gulp. After drinking the nuptial wine, you’ll be husband and wife from now on, and share in joy and hardship. May you live in wedded bliss!”
There was a string connecting the two wooden gourds, so she had no choice but to move over a little to reach it. Their foreheads almost touched as they finished the wine. The nanny kept glancing at them. As soon as they finished drinking, she snatched the wooden gourds and threw them to the ground. The two ladles spun twice on the ground and slid to the head of the bed.
Qi Haoran craned his neck and asked anxiously, “How is it? How is it?”
The nanny clapped her hands and said, “It’s a success! One facing up and one facing down. Congratulations, Fourth Young Master! Congratulations, Fourth Madam!”
