The sound of gongs and drums in the mansion suddenly became louder.

Seeing Lu Huaihe and Su He step out of the house, Su Yun standing in the corner withdrew her gaze. Aunt Luo raised her head and murmured, "Madame Tang can act as a matchmaker. It seems that the eldest princess recognizes the second young lady."

Su Yun felt as if her heart was being torn apart. The loud gongs and drums sounded annoying, so she found an excuse and returned to the courtyard.

In front of the Su Mansion.

The wedding procession beat drums and gongs.

Su He let Lu Huaihe lead her into the wedding sedan. When the firecrackers went off, Nanny Tang shouted happily as they set off.

The wedding procession marched towards Li Garden in a grand procession.

When they arrived at the destination, before Su He could step firmly out of the sedan chair, Lu Huaihe had already held her hand.

"This is against the rules."

According to etiquette, the bride should be led by the matchmaker when getting in and out of the sedan chair and entering the mansion to worship. Nanny Tang was always waiting by her side, but Lu Huaihe always got there first.

Su He had no choice but to remind him softly.

Lu Huaihe chuckled, but tightened his grip a little, "In Li Garden, you are the one who follows the rules."

In order to get married, he specially bought a new mansion.

Li Garden is vast, covering an area almost as large as two Su mansions.

Before Su He could answer, he had already walked up the stairs.

There was a brazier at the entrance to the mansion. She lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped lightly into the inner hall amid everyone's congratulations.

The eldest princess had been waiting for a long time. When she saw the newlyweds coming, her eyes fell on Su He. Although there was some displeasure on her face, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

According to Lu Huaihe's personality, even if she refused Su He's marriage, wouldn't he still marry her into the mansion? Rather than refusing and making a scene, it would be better to agree. At least her son would get married, which was a good thing.

The newlyweds enter the hall, light candles and burn incense, and the ceremony of praising and general praising is delivered.

"The wedding ceremony is over, and the marriage is concluded. The love is deep, and we wish to respect each other like guests; the auspicious leaves and locusts will surely prosper in the future. With the same heart and mind, they are suitable for the family. They will be together forever and form a union of mandarin ducks and butterflies!"

Su He's sight was limited to a small corner of Xipa. When she heard the Tongzan and Lizan being recited in unison, she listened attentively and took notes carefully.

Lu Huaihe turned sideways, bowed and nodded, his voice as mellow as wine: "I will join hands with you to create a prosperous family, always uphold the way of a gentleman, and spend this life together."

Su He's eyes lit up slightly, she bent her body and answered seriously: "I am the same."

After the ceremony and the greetings to her parents, Su He was sent to the bridal chamber. This small courtyard had a nice name called Qinfangju.

Su He sat on the carved bed covered with red silk, listening to the congratulations and toasts coming from the front yard. She then stared at the bright red wedding dress and pinched herself before she dared to believe that everything was real.

The door was pushed open and the sound of footsteps was heard.

Su He listened attentively, and the next second, a corner of the veil was lifted by Yu Ruyi.

The red lips are as red as peach blossoms, and the hair is in a bun with shy makeup.

Lu Huaihe's eyes were bright and there was a gentle smile on the corners of his mouth. He took off the veil with his own hands. Only then did Su He feel his vision opened up. Seeing the bright red candles in the room, which were dazzling, he slightly turned his eyes away.

"Why aren't you with the guests?"

"Qingyun will block the wine for me."

Today is a wedding banquet, so I guess we should drink to our heart's content.

Su He thought of Qing Yun's small body, and wondered how long he could last. She didn't know what she was thinking of, and there was some concern in her eyes. She asked softly, "No one is talking about anything behind my back, right?"

"What are you talking about?"

Lu Huaihe walked to the table, picked up some peanuts and red dates, wiped them clean carefully, and handed them to her, "Fill your stomach first. I asked someone to prepare some glutinous rice balls, which will be delivered later."

Seeing Su He's eyebrows drooping slightly, with a hint of depression, he reached out and touched her blushing cheek, stroking it gently with his fingertips, and said softly: "Ahe, the rumors are not important, and they will not affect me in the slightest. I have identified you and chosen you, it has nothing to do with others."

He knew what Su He was worried about.

There are always some guests who like to laugh at the joke, including those in the front hall.

But we don't live our lives for them to see, so how can we let them have the final say?

"I'm afraid of being a burden to you."

"Do you really think so?"

Su He was stunned and remained silent.

If I was really afraid of dragging him down, I should stay away from him, ignore his feelings or even treat him like trash.

But when Lu Huaihe proposed to marry her, she did not hesitate.

Su He knew that she could take revenge on Lu Yanxiu and others on her own, but protecting the Su family was a difficult task.

Lu Huaihe seemed to be able to see through her thoughts. He smiled helplessly and touched her little head. "The guests haven't left yet. I have to go see them off. You wait here for me."

"it is good."

After Lu Huaihe left, Pei Xia walked into the room with some freshly cooked glutinous rice balls. After watching Su He eat them slowly, he mentioned what happened in the front hall.

"Most of those guests were court officials and colleagues from the Dali Temple. They toasted me whenever they got the chance. They were all distinguished guests in the officialdom and I couldn't refuse them."

“No one from the Lu family came, but they sent someone to deliver a gift.

"After the wedding ceremony, the princess returned. I saw that she was very elegant and graceful, and the jewels she wore were expensive and not vulgar, but I wonder what her personality is like?"

There was no head-on confrontation today, so tomorrow morning I’ll have to go to the Princess’s residence to offer tea and greetings.

Su He took a handkerchief and wiped her mouth. "When the late emperor was alive, he loved the eldest princess the most. In addition, she married down and suffered grievances, so the late emperor compensated her with a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, manors and fields. No matter what her personality is, since I am a junior, I have to serve her according to the rules. In the future, you must not mention the eldest princess in private, so that others will accidentally hear it and make a fool of herself."

"This slave has taken note of it."

Pei Xia then remembered that she had asked someone to monitor Liu Jinglei in the Golden Sparrow Tower, and his recent whereabouts and movements were also clearly understood. He lost a large sum of money two days ago, and wanted to escape without paying, but was beaten for no reason.

I guess he's still keeping it now.

Su He said, "Keep paying attention. After a few days, I will go meet him again."

"Yes."

It was almost midnight when the hall finally became completely quiet.

Su He leaned against the bed and kept watch for a while, but couldn't hold on and fell asleep.

Half asleep, she felt someone climbing onto the bed.

Su He regained consciousness and saw that the room was pitch black. He picked up a pillow and threw it at the shadow.

Fortunately, Lu Huaihe caught it, and smiled helplessly in the dark night, "Who else but you would beat your husband on the wedding night?"

Su He then slapped her head in annoyance and wanted to get out of bed to light the candle, but Pei Xia probably saw that she was asleep and was afraid that she would be disturbed by the light, so he extinguished the candle.

Suddenly, there was a pull around her waist, and a big hand covered Su He's waist, stopping her actions.

Smelling a faint smell of alcohol, she couldn't help but ask, "How much did you drink?"

"Not counting."

Lu Huaihe pressed his face against Su He's thin back and said in a muffled voice: "I've already showered, is the smell still strong?"

“I can smell it a little bit.”

"Those bastards from Dali Temple kept pouring liquid into me."

"And Qingyun also turned against them and joined forces with them."
