Chapter 433 Newlywed
When Caiyue returned to the house, she suddenly had an idea and remembered what happened that year.
It turns out that what Song Jiashu said was true.
He was now tall and straight, full of vigor and vitality, a stark contrast to the scrawny little boy I remembered. No wonder I hadn't recognized him before; the years had not only shaped his appearance but also shaped his calm demeanor.
She touched the jade pendant in her sleeve and sighed softly, the past and present intertwining in her heart, and she marveled at the wonders of fate. What she had once thought was just a trivial act of kindness had become a foreshadowing of fate, bringing them together again after many twists and turns.
As the sky gradually darkened, the few people said goodbye and left. Wei Lin and Su Ye personally sent them to the carriage.
After they left, Su Ye's eyes were red and he felt a little reluctant to leave.
Wei Lin comforted her softly, "Don't be sad. Let's go to the Old Summer Palace early tomorrow to express our gratitude."
Su Ye nodded and turned to walk into the house.
She is not the kind of person who would indulge in sentimentality. There are more important things waiting for her to do.
Wei Lin hurriedly followed her footsteps and returned to the bridal chamber.
Seeing Su Ye start to undress, Wei Lin suddenly became nervous and said haltingly: "You...you haven't eaten yet, why don't you...eat first?"
"Why bother eating? Take off your clothes!"
Seeing her so anxious, Wei Lin's blood surged. This kind of thing should have been his own initiative, but she had already acted like this. If he continued to be shy, it would be too unmanly. He quickly took off his outer robe, pounced on Su Ye, and picked her up.
Today's wedding dress was carefully made by An Lingrong, and Su Ye took special care of it. He was carefully unbuttoning it when Wei Lin was startled by his sudden action and slapped him in the face.
"What are you doing!"
Wei Lin subconsciously let go of his hand, touched his burning cheek, and said aggrievedly: "Cave...bridal chamber, didn't you say it?" His eyes were full of innocence.
Su Ye's face flushed red. After a moment, she raised her head and glared at him, then said helplessly, "I asked you to change your wedding clothes and go to the clinic with me. You haven't been there all day, and I'm a little worried. What are you thinking?"
"oh oh!"
Wei Lin finally reacted and quickly turned around, using the opportunity to get his clothes to cover up the embarrassment on his face.
Watching his fleeing figure, Su Ye felt a little amused and sweet. She took a few steps forward and came to his side, touching his face. Then she picked up the belt, put her hands around his waist, and tied it for him slowly. She said in a gentle voice, "If everything is fine at the clinic, we'll be back soon."
After hearing this, Wei Lin perked up again: "Okay, okay. Then we'll go and come back quickly."
the other side.
By the time Caiyue, Juqing, Hanzhu, and the others returned to the Old Summer Palace, it was already dark. The four most senior concubines in the palace—An Lingrong, Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan, and Feng Ruozhao—were sitting around a carved rosewood table, playing cards while awaiting their return.
Seeing them come back, An Lingrong quickly threw the cards in her hand into the deck and asked about the wedding.
It was a close call. I was about to lose the game. They came back at the perfect time.
The women spoke eloquently, each one describing the grand wedding scene vividly. From Su Ye's dazzling appearance in her phoenix coronet and bridal robe, to the bustling scene of the wedding venue adorned with lights and colorful decorations, to the joyful laughter of the guests, every detail was vividly recreated by them.
An Lingrong finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had arranged for Caiyue and the others to leave the palace to attend the wedding in a grand manner today, just to let everyone know that Su Ye had the support of big figures in the palace like them. This way, her future life would be peaceful and smooth, and no one would bully her easily.
After finishing the wedding talk, Caiyue hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward, looking a little embarrassed. Lowering her voice, she recounted everything that had happened between her and Song Jiashu. Then, she carefully pulled the jade pendant from her bosom, held it in both hands, and respectfully presented it to Shen Meizhuang.
An Lingrong's eyes gleamed when she heard this, and after a moment, she smiled and said, "Oh, this Young Master Song is really thoughtful. He still remembers things from all those years ago. Keep this jade pendant for now. Let's see if he can pass the imperial examination and come and ask for your hand in marriage."
Caiyue felt anxious upon hearing this. Just as she was about to explain, An Lingrong raised her hand and gently waved her hand, interrupting her: "Okay, there's still a year left for this matter. There's no need to be so anxious. Just do what needs to be done and let everything take its course."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Hanzhu, Juqing and the others and said, "You've all been exhausted from the journey today. Go down and rest. You don't need to wait on us here."
"Yes!" Several people saluted and retreated.
After they left, An Lingrong frowned, "Sister, there's something wrong with this Young Master Song!"
Shen Meizhuang asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
An Lingrong raised her eyes and looked at Zhen Huan.
Zhen Huan uttered a few words: "What a coincidence!"
Feng Ruozhao on the other side also nodded: "She and Caiyue have known each other for a long time, so how come your sister-in-law chose him when she was selecting people?"
Shen Meizhuang pondered carefully: "Did he approach Caiyue on purpose?"
"It's certain that he intentionally approached Caiyue, but his purpose needs to be carefully considered."
"He has two motives," Zhen Huan analyzed calmly. "First, he wants to use Caiyue to get close to us, to the Shen family, and use our power to rise to prominence. Second, he sincerely wants to marry Caiyue."
An Lingrong nodded in agreement. "Whatever his motive, it's clear this person is quite scheming. We need to be more careful in the future."
Shen Meizhuang's expression straightened, and she said solemnly, "It seems that my sister-in-law needs to investigate this person thoroughly. I can allow him to cling to the powerful for his future, but if he wants to use Caiyue, then he has made a wrong calculation. Caiyue is someone I value, and I will never allow her to be harmed in the slightest."
An Lingrong interjected, "Don't let Caiyue know about this first. Otherwise, regardless of whether Song Jiashu has other thoughts or not, her impression of him will take a sharp turn for the worse. If Song Jiashu is truly infatuated, then we'll be breaking up this marriage. Let's investigate everything first."
Shen Meizhuang nodded in agreement.
After saying this, An Lingrong turned her gaze to Zhen Huan and asked curiously, "Sister Zhen, why wasn't Liu Zhu among those released from the palace this time?"
Zhen Huan sighed helplessly, "She doesn't want to leave the palace. No matter how much I persuade her, she remains unmoved. This girl has her own ideas now."
"In that case, let her stay in the palace for now. She is still young and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future," An Lingrong comforted.
As it was getting dark, Zhen Huan and Feng Ruozhao said goodbye and left.
