Xie Ming

Her black hair falls down, her red lips are pointed, and she looks very delicate and graceful.

After the beaded ornaments on her head were removed one by one, she took off her outer shirt.

Zhu Yu'e twisted her waist and came back to Xiao Jun's bedside.

At this moment, while she was removing her makeup, Hongyu had already taken off Xiao Lang's shoes and socks and washed his feet.

Then he cleaned his face.

When Xiao'e came over, Hongyu had no choice but to hand the wet and warm handkerchief to the young lady again.

Xiao E did it herself, then took off all of her brother Xiao's outer clothes, reached into his inner clothes, and wiped his body.

After that, everything was refreshed. Yu'e and Hongyu took great pains to put Xiao Lang on the bed and made the quilt.

After doing all this, Hongyu left and went to the outer room to wait.

On the wedding night, the lights and candles in many places in the room are not allowed to be extinguished, as if to protect the wedding night.

There was no other way. After Xiao and E were the only ones left in the room, Yu'e took off her shoes and socks and crawled under the quilt next to her husband.

Everything was completely silent, and there was no sound from anyone else in the room except for the occasional crackling sound from a pair of large dragon and phoenix candles on the table.

Until it's quiet for a while
Xiao E just popped her head out from the mandarin duck quilt that they were covering together, revealing her little face. She fiddled with Xiao Lang's nearby arms and snuggled up to his chest like a spring kitten, hugging her arms and legs.

"Brother Xiao, we haven't talked to each other in private for a long time."

Xiao'e's cheeks were flushed as she listened to the heartbeat of her beloved close to her ear, mumbling to herself with a frown on her face.

"You, you haven't been with me and my elder sister for the past six months, you don't know."

"Ever since Daddy got into trouble in the capital, I've been chasing after my sister and I, wandering around."

"I fled all the way from the capital to the south, and I was terrified and frightened a lot."

"Even if he went to Yangzhou later, he would stay in the Shen Mansion."

"But after all, I am still living under someone else's roof. It is so awkward and difficult to bear."

"I originally thought that if I came south and joined my brother, I would be safe."

"but"

Thinking of this situation, Yu'e remembered the incident of Zhengwen being killed and missing when he went out. She was suddenly saddened and burst into tears, which flowed down Xiao Lang's body.

"But my eldest brother had an accident again and has not been seen since."

"As for the eldest sister, she had no choice but to enter the palace because of some Gu Sanhun."

"I am the only one left."

"Before, with my elder sister by my side, supporting me and not asking about anything, Xiao'e felt like she had a backbone."

"But later she entered the palace and became a queen. For the rest of my life, it would be difficult to see her again."

"I'm all alone in a foreign land. I'm so scared!"

"Brother Xiao, do you know how I have been living these past two months?"

"It's okay during the day, but at night, Xiao'e has nightmares over and over again."

After telling the story for a while, Yu'e was filled with pain and burst into tears again.

It took a long while before he stopped and wiped away his tears.

"Hmm" he sniffed.

"But no matter what, now it's finally over."

"My eldest sister said that although I am a little foolish, I have been born with a good destiny since I was young."

"The further you go, the more blessings and longevity you will have."

"I love hearing her say that."

"Now, hasn't everything come true?!"

"From now on, I, Xiao'e, belong to Brother Xiao."

"With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."

"Didn't Uncle Xue find a way to get into the mansion a few days ago?"

"Everyone is fine, and everything will go more smoothly."

"Brother Xiao, I will take good care of you and won't let your elder sister worry."

"I will, I will." Xiao'e whispered warmly as the night gradually darkened.
There is no end to the stories she tells. As she talked, Yu'e's almond-shaped eyes gradually became more and more impatient.
Slowly the sound fades away, and finally it returns to silence.

Xiao'e undressed and snuggled in Xiao Jingchuan's arms, feeling very satisfied, and gradually fell peacefully into her dream.

The next morning!

It's getting light.

You know, in folk customs, a new bride has to get up early on the first day after waking up at her husband's house.

After you have finished dressing yourself up, you should rush to serve the first cup of tea to the parents-in-law of the host family. This is considered proper and sensible, and will avoid gossip and complaints.

But, after all, the reality is that Xiao Jingchuan's parents died early, and there is no mistress or mother-in-law in the Duke's Mansion.

Therefore, Xiao'e, the daughter-in-law of the previous day, was spared from such complicated calculations.

Let’s investigate the drunk Xiao Jingchuan again.

After a good night's sleep, I woke up the next day feeling much healthier, as if nothing had happened, without any hangover or dizziness at all.

Also, he felt that he had let Xiao'e down last night, so he came in quickly early in the morning and tinkered with the mandarin duck quilt.

Yu'e was woken up by someone. Originally, she was afraid of gossip from the servants in the mansion, so she didn't want to stay in bed late.

But how can I resist my husband?
So after a good fight, he was finally spared.

In a flash, the time was almost Si time (around 9:00 in the morning).

Xiao Langjun finally finished his work, threw off the quilt, stood up, and started to put on his clothes.

"Brother Xiao, how can I ask you to dress yourself?"

"Hongyu should be outside the door not far away. Just call her and ask her to come in and serve you."

"I, I really don't have the strength to move."

There was a trace of sweat on her forehead, and she looked like Zhu Yu'e. At this moment, she was lying on the edge of the bed, exposing her shoulders, panting heavily, and she felt very uncomfortable.

Look at my husband who just did a good deed, he is so gentle and affectionate, it's really enjoyable.

And in order to avoid Xiao Lang getting up without anyone to serve him, he managed to catch his breath and utter these words.

However, Xiao Jing turned around after hearing the voice, but did not do as instructed.

"Hey! There's no need for her to come."

"As for me, I'm used to living alone in the team."

"It's just putting on clothes. There's no need for so much pretense. It would be troublesome." Xiao Wei said casually.

However, hearing her husband say this, Xiao E couldn't just ignore it.

Later, Xiao'e had no choice but to blush, tie the quilt around her waist, and then got off the ground.

To avoid trouble, she bare her legs, wearing only a pink gauze waistband with gold buttons, and crawled out from under the quilt.

When he got close to the bed, Xiao Lang was startled and turned around.

"Hey, why did you get out of bed again?"

"I'm still sweating. If I get sick again, it will be my fault."

Xiao Jingchuan looked back and embraced the delicate little girl again.

Yu'e's muscles trembled at her husband's action, but she did not push or move, and just let him do what he wanted.

It's just verbal blame, but there's still something else to consider and think about.

"Well, Brother Xiao, it's alright."

"I have to get up after all."

"You don't want to either. It's already this time."

"It's all your fault. You've gone through all this trouble for nothing and don't care about anyone's life or death."

"Besides, although we are in our own house, the sun is already high and you and I are still not getting up. What kind of talk is that?"

"If the people below spread the news, who knows how they would gossip about it."

Zhu Yu'e was coquettish and shy, while the people in the room were talking sweet words to themselves.
