Chapter 318: Chapter 319: Grand Wedding_1 Chapter 318: Chapter 319: Grand Wedding_1 “Ha, so fast! Yu Ze is really in a hurry,” Jiang Hengyu clicked his tongue and immediately rushed out. He couldn’t miss the chance to intercept the groom.

Muniang’s heart inexplicably began to race. Although they had been husband and wife for nearly two years, she was still as nervous as a little girl getting married.

The Jiang Family’s home was brightly decorated, clearly playing the role of the bride’s family to the hilt. The front gates were firmly shut, showing no intention of making things easy.

Yu Ze, dressed in festive attire, looked radiant and fresh. He eyed the tightly closed gates, clearly guarded from within.

“If you, if you want to enter, bring the red envelopes,” said a servant with a lack of confidence. He was just a minor figure, how could he dare confront Yu Ze? But there was no choice; he had to go through the motions as instructed from above.

Yu Ze gave his guard a wink, and the guard immediately brought out a pile of red envelopes. With a light tap of his toes, he leaped up and scattered them over the courtyard of the Jiang Family, showering the sky with red envelopes and catching the Jiang servants off guard. They stood stunned for a moment before rushing to grab them.

Yu Ze easily entered through the front gate. Jiang Hengyu wanted to curse at his worthless servants for embarrassing the Jiang Family!

Fortunately, there was still another door, and Jiang Hengyu was guarding it personally. He teased, “Aiyo, my brother, I never thought you’d fall into my hands today. Quick, quick, say something nice, and maybe I’ll let you pass.”

Yu Ze smacked the door with his palm, and it collapsed. Jiang Hengyu managed to dodge just in time; otherwise, he would have been sent flying by that slap.

“Can’t you be less brutish? This is the day you marry your bride!” Jiang Hengyu was so angry he felt like his lungs would explode. He had known this man would not easily bow his head, but did he have to be so violent?

Yu Ze replied nonchalantly, “I just need to be gentle with my bride. You? Get lost.”

Jiang Hengyu was gritting his teeth with anger. Yu Ze raised his eyebrows, “What are you standing around for? Hurry up and carry my bride out.”

According to tradition, Yu Ze couldn’t personally go to the room to fetch her; instead, he had to wait in the main hall, and the bride had to be carried out by her brother.

Jiang Hengyu, fuming, said, “All those years of friendship gone to waste!”

Yu Ze lifted his head, still wearing a triumphant smile, completely ignoring Jiang Hengyu as he headed straight for the main hall. Today, he was determined to marry his bride!

Muniang was also in a flurry of activity. She hadn’t expected Yu Ze to come so early and some final touches weren’t yet complete. The maids and old ladies hurriedly finished dressing her, and then a bright red wedding veil embroidered with dragons and phoenixes was placed over Muniang’s head.

Muniang, like a marionette, was being tossed about and hadn’t even had time to glance at herself in the mirror.

When Jiang Hengyu came in, the old lady pushed Muniang towards him, “Young Master, she’s ready. Should we take her out now?”

Jiang Hengyu complained, “Muniang, you have to keep your husband in check in the future. He’s too violent. He just smashed one of our doors. All this just to marry a bride—is it necessary? If I were you, I’d let him sleep on the floor tonight in the bridal chamber, so he knows who’s boss.”

Jiang Hengyu laughed smugly, obviously very much looking forward to that scene.

Muniang rolled her eyes. These two becoming good brothers was quite miraculous: one a clown and one an iceberg. It was truly one of the world’s wonders.

The maids silently thought to themselves, your relationship with Yu Ze is pretty miraculous, too.

Jiang Hengyu dared not delay any further, for fear that Yu Ze would grow unhappy and smash the room to pieces with one slap of his hand, he crouched down and hoisted Muniang onto his back.

The Happy Old Lady shouted, “The bride is coming out!”

The sound of firecrackers was incessant outside, the atmosphere was bustling, and Jiang Hengyu carried Muniang all the way to the main hall, where Yu Ze had already been waiting.

Upon seeing Muniang arrive, he quickly stood up, helped her down from Jiang Hengyu’s back, and felt overjoyed inside.

According to custom, they should pay respect to the elders at this time, but since this was not truly Muniang’s birth home, there was no need for too many formalities.

Yu Ze clasped his hands towards the elder Jiangs and said, “I am thankful for Uncle and Auntie’s care of Muniang these past days, Yu Ze expresses his gratitude here.”

The elder Jiangs laughed and said, “No trouble, no trouble. Our Jiang Family hasn’t been lively for a long time, after all. We have a boy in the house who always avoids talking about marriage, so it is good to have such a joyful occasion for a change.”

This remark was clearly a veiled reference to Jiang Hengyu. Yu Ze glanced at Jiang Hengyu leisurely, “Uncle is right, a man should marry and establish himself. Hengyu is grown now; he should also find someone and settle down.”

Jiang Hengyu immediately became agitated, “How did this come to involve me? Yu Ze, do you have the face to talk? You dragged your feet until twenty-six before getting married!”

Jiang Hengyu was furious, Yu Ze was simply too cunning, deliberately pushing him into the fire pit, knowing full well how much he despised the idea of marriage.

The elder Jiangs spoke angrily, “And you have the nerve to say that? Ze’er is married now, and you’ve not given a hint of news, truly driving us to our wits’ end!”

It looked like Jiang Hengyu was in for it now.

Yu Ze swept Muniang up in his arms, bid farewell to the elder Jiangs, and headed straight out the door.

The outside was buzzing with excitement, as news that the Marquis Chen Mansion’s heir was getting married had stirred up the whole Capital City. There really were quite a lot of people coming to watch the excitement.

Yu Ze placed Muniang inside the palanquin, then mounted his tall horse, looking proud and cavalier as if he were a child.

He usually disliked flamboyant clothes, but wearing this glaring red for the occasion, he felt an uncommon joy, and the big red flower in front seemed especially pleasing to the eye!

The wedding procession was exceptionally grand, and everyone who passed by on the street turned their heads, whispering about the marriage of Marquis Chen’s heir, especially because he was marrying a commoner woman, which was all the more astonishing.

Just as they turned a street corner, they saw another procession heading their way; clearly another wedding procession, but lacking a groom in the lead, as the groom was at the border. Today, He Suxue was to be married, or rather, “exiled.”

With both processions appearing at the same time, the buzz among the crowd grew even louder.

“Oh, isn’t that the He Family’s daughter? Is she getting married to the borderlands today? It’s pitiful, really. I heard not long ago she was set to be the Yu Family’s consort, and it was said she would enter their home on the same day as the main wife. Now, well, she indeed is getting married on the same day, but one to the heavens, the other to the earth.”

“Isn’t that so? He Suxue is, after all, the Capital City’s top maiden. If it weren’t for what happened, even if she could not marry into the Yu Family, who in the Capital City wouldn’t vie to marry her? Now, it’s truly bad luck in the extreme.”
