Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

In his eyes, Sang Ning saw himself dressed in bright red.

Only then did I realize that she had already changed into her wedding dress.

Exquisite embroidery, well-fitting, and perfectly tailored.

The crown on her head was a bit heavy, and as it swayed, the beaded curtain shimmered with colorful light.

The room was filled with red.

She just wanted a simple ceremony, why is it so extravagant?

"You look good too, really good."

Huo Chang'an came over, took her hands, and helped her up.

His warm, large hand enveloped her cold, small hand, and Sang Ning felt as if he wanted to hold her hand and walk through life with her.

Perhaps this is the meaning of holding a wedding.

Did I oversleep?

"No, any time today is an auspicious time."

Yu Cui and Yu Bai, also dressed in festive attire, led the way, opening the doors on either side.

The yard was full of people.

Sang Ning was shocked.

It's all red again.

Heaven and earth.

Two osmanthus trees were covered with red silk, and a red carpet was laid on the ground.

The old lady stood at the front, followed by Huo Qingchuan, Li Yuzhi, Huo Zhanfeng, Huo Qiuye... and the younger generation, Jintang, Wu Nianxi, Jinxiu...

Behind them were Yan Meng, Wu Gaoda... a group of generals.

"Mother, why is there such a big commotion!"

Didn't we say it was just a formality, and the family would just have a meal together?

“You are the matriarch of the Huo family army. No matter how urgent it is, you must inform these brothers who have gone through life and death with you.”

“Yes, Madam, no matter how busy you are, you must still attend the wedding banquet with the Lord!” Wu Gaoda shouted.

“Pei Ming’an, I’ve noted down my wedding gift. When I get married, the Lord will send me a double gift in return!” Yan Meng held up a white jade Guanyin statue of a woman giving a child with both hands.

Wei Chang, not to be outdone, presented two pheasants tied with red ribbons. One was male, with a colorful tail that was more than half a meter long; the other was female, tailless, and plumper than the male, resembling a wealthy lady.

Sang Ning heard Pei Ming'an shout: "General Wei has presented a pair of five-colored golden pheasants."

"I'll give one too! I'll give one too!" Jinxiu shouted.

"Sister Yuchi, quickly bring Xiaohong's child over!" She waved to a maid.

“Jinxiu, you can’t give a dog as a gift. The golden pheasants that Uncle Wei gave us are a pair, symbolizing being a couple, enjoying time together under the flowers and moon,” Jintang explained to her.

Jinxiu didn't care at all.

"Why can't I give them away? Mine are a pair too."

But those were a pair of males!

"Haha, I'll give you anything, I'll accept whatever Jinxiu gives me." Sang Ning laughed heartily.

Jinxiu shook her head smugly.

"Fourth Aunt, when I get married, you must give me two sets back, four in total."

Sanning: "..."

So I was waiting here!

Jinxiu is still as clever as ever!

Even though the atmosphere was tinged with sadness, everyone was amused by Jinxiu and burst into laughter.

"Mother, it's time to go and pay respects at the wedding," Huo Chang'an reminded her.

He was afraid that Sang Ning's body wouldn't be able to hold up.

"Not urgent."

Suddenly, the old lady and her family knelt down.

The generals behind him naturally followed suit and knelt down as well.

Sang Ning was startled; this would shorten his lifespan!

Without saying a word, she knelt down as well.

Then, bewildered, she asked, "Mom, why are we kneeling?"

Only Huo Chang'an stood there, completely bewildered.

Is this a proper procedure for getting married?

The old lady was both amused and exasperated, and scolded Huo Chang'an: "Fourth son, help Ning'er up, and you kneel down!"

"Oh."

Huo Chang'an did as instructed.

Sang Ning was in a daze; she felt like she was about to die, and her mind wasn't working very well.

Which part of the wedding process is this?

"Ning'er, since we haven't gone through the wedding ceremony yet, let's consider you not yet a member of the Huo family."

The world may not know, but the Huo family will always remember: without you, there would be no Huo family today.

Kindness comes first, courtesy follows.

I'll bring my whole family first to thank you for saving our lives.

The old lady actually led her entire family in kowtowing deeply to Sang Ning!

Sang Ning burst into tears.

The slight resentment in my heart disappeared.

Although she has only been here a short time, she has received the best family, love, and friendship in the world.

Although I'm reluctant to leave, I have no regrets.

Everything she did was worth it!

The wedding ceremony, the marriage, and entering the bridal chamber.

When Sang Ning returned to her room, she already felt exhausted.

This time, I'm more exhausted than ever before.

She knew that if she fell asleep again, she would never wake up again.

So she stuck the needle between her fingers and kept turning it.

After a while, I seemed to stop feeling the pain.

I could only feel my heart clenching in waves.

She asked Huo Chang'an to open her locked little box and take out the thick books and envelopes inside.

She left letters for many people.

Feng Dali, Huo Jingya, eldest sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, Xin Xuefu, and many other good policies for governing the country, as well as things she once promised but could never fulfill.

For example, taking care of Xu Wude's family, and Wu Nianxi.

She even mentioned that on her way to exile, she borrowed someone's cart and took their ginseng and ancestral kitchen knife.

She wrote them all down.

"Huo Chang'an, you must complete this task for me."

"it is good."

"Do you see that painting on the wall?"

"I saw it, it's so well drawn, it looks real."

"Take it down and burn it."

Huo Chang'an didn't respond, but instead leaned down and kissed her.

The painting was not only well-painted, but from a distance, three characters would appear.

I love you.

How could he possibly burn it?

He kissed her with the gentlest yet most forceful touch.

His hand slowly grasped hers and pulled out the blood-stained sewing needle.

The person beneath him slowly, slowly stopped responding.

……

A remote Taoist temple in the green mountains.

Master Liu collapsed first.

Once the vital energy is depleted, it will probably take one or two years to replenish it.

He tried his best.

"Senior brother, don't try to hold on any longer. This meager strength is not enough to wake her up again."

Time is up."

Master Song understood.

But he hadn't completely exhausted his inner energy, so he would hold on for as long as he could.

……

Huo Chang'an spent another day making arrangements.

He entrusted everything to Huo Qingchuan.

What emperor? That was never his wish; he was forced onto this path.

Didn't she know that Huo Chang'an had never grown wings?

She is his wings.

The Huo family's injustice has been redressed.

But it cost Sang Ning her life.

Now, with an exceptionally capable elder brother, Dongyang will no longer be in chaos.

And he was about to take her away.

He kowtowed to the old lady and said, "Your son is unfilial and I'm afraid I'll never leave Dongshan again in this lifetime."

Mother, don't worry. Listen to Ning'er, enjoy your grandchildren, and live a peaceful old age.

"Mother will. Fourth son, let Mother comb your hair one more time."

The old lady combed her youngest and most capable son's hair meticulously and adorned him with a gold and jade crown, making him look both spirited and joyful.

They also combed Sang Ning's hair carefully and dressed her in a bright red headdress.

"Let's go."

Five days before the New Year, as the sun rose and the rosy clouds faded, Huo Chang'an carried Sang Ning into a soft and comfortable carriage and left the capital.
