After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Time flew by, and the day of Jiang Yuyue's wedding arrived.

Jiang Yuyue had thought that this was just a charade and she could just go through the motions, but she never expected that her parents would prepare so seriously.

"Okay, hurry up and put on your makeup."

Early in the morning, Madam Jiang pulled her up and sat her in front of the bronze mirror, saying earnestly, "Today is your big day, you must dress up beautifully. The Xiang family will be coming to pick you up soon, so don't miss the auspicious time!"

Jiang Yuyue was shocked to see dozens of boxes of dowry in the courtyard as soon as she got up. Although the Jiang family was indeed very wealthy, the scale of the dowry was too exaggerated. The amount of the dowry was even more generous than when she married into the Xie family.

"mother!"

Jiang Yuyue was truly exasperated. "Didn't I say there was no need for such a grand affair? Why are you preparing so much? I'm afraid the Xiang family's mansion can't accommodate it all, can it?"

"If you can't let go, your parents can just buy you a bigger house, right?"

Madam Jiang lowered her voice, "When our Jiang family's daughter gets married, we will make sure you leave in style and honor, and your dowry will certainly not be lacking!"

At this point, Madam Jiang lowered her voice even further and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, the betrothal gifts from the Xiang family are also prepared by us, and they're even ten percent more than your dowry!"

This...this is a bit too serious!

Jiang Yuyue wanted to try to persuade them again, but the matchmaker and makeup artist stopped her and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang, you don't need to worry so much today. Just relax and let us do your makeup!"

After saying this, the makeup artist picked up the face powder and started applying it to her face. Helpless, Jiang Yuyue had no choice but to shut up and patiently let them apply her makeup.

As dawn broke, the sounds of music and drumming outside grew louder and louder. Judging from the commotion outside, it was clear that my parents had added a lot more to the various ceremonial items that had been agreed upon before.

Jiang Yuyue originally only wanted to spread the news of her marriage throughout Jinling, but she never expected that even the wedding would be so grand.

"Miss Jiang, your forehead is full and your face is full of good fortune!" As the makeup was nearing its end, the makeup artist's words were exceptionally sweet as she couldn't stop praising Jiang Yuyue. "They say that those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune. Miss Jiang, since you returned home, Master and Madam Jiang have truly been spoiling you rotten!"

Jiang Yuyue smiled in agreement. Although the marriage was fake now, it reminded her of the scene when she married Xie Yunqi.

At that time, her parents also worked hard to prepare a generous dowry for her, worried that she would be mistreated because of her background after marrying into the "high-class" Xie family. She was also full of expectations for her husband. But who could have imagined that her parents' painstaking preparations would push her into a quagmire?

Fortunately, fate gave her a second chance. Now, she is in control of her own marriage. Even though she and Xiang Suiyuan are just a fake couple, it is more in line with her wishes.

After marrying into the Xiang family, Xiang Suiyuan would surely treat her with respect, and she wouldn't have to deal with her in-laws, nor would she have to worry about her husband having multiple wives and concubines and fighting in the backyard. She could also easily break off her relationship with Song Jinglan and live a peaceful life from then on. It was truly a win-win situation.

"Alright, Miss, take a look in the mirror. Are you satisfied?"

After the makeup artist finished dressing Jiang Yuyue, she praised her endlessly, "As expected, Miss Jiang is a famous beauty in Jinling. Wearing the wedding dress that Madam Jiang prepared for you, you are absolutely gorgeous!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuyue took a closer look at herself in the bronze mirror. Her head was adorned with luxurious hairpins, exuding an air of nobility. However, she had never liked such elaborate attire. But considering that her mother had given her the idea for this outfit, she didn't say anything.

The woman in the bronze mirror showed no shyness of a bride on her wedding day; her eyes held only a hint of joy. But this joy was not because of her own marriage, but because the end of this wedding banquet meant that she was about to step into a life that truly belonged to her.

"Alright, it's almost time. The bride needs to get ready to leave!"

The matchmaker pushed open the door and called out, and the makeup artist carefully covered her head with the bridal veil and gently helped her to the door.

Waiting at the door was her younger brother, Jiang Huanxi.

Jiang Huanxi turned to look at his sister. Although she was covered by a bridal veil, he knew just by thinking about it how beautiful his sister was today. However, he still felt a little worried because he thought that this wedding was not a serious matter.

"Please carry Miss Jiang out of the house, Young Master Jiang."

The matchmaker gave instructions for the next step, and Jiang Huanxi then suppressed his worries, slightly bent his knees, and turned his back to her.

"Sister, come on up."

Hearing her younger brother's not-so-joyful voice, Jiang Yuyue sighed inwardly, but didn't say anything more, only leaning against his back.

Jiang Huanxi walked steadily, carrying her on his back slowly towards the gate, amidst the excited shouts of children, "The bride is going out! The bride is going out!"

Jiang Qimo was also among them, following them as they walked out, and he kept secretly bending down to peek at his mother under the bridal veil.

Although Jiang Yuyue couldn't see clearly because of the bridal veil, she could still make out a general idea: Xiang Suiyuan was dressed as the groom, wearing a red robe, and was currently riding a tall horse.

However, this attire seemed somewhat out of place for him, who was usually so unassuming. He smiled shyly as he bowed to thank the guests for their congratulations.

"The bride is getting into the sedan chair!"

The matchmaker's voice rang out again. Jiang Yuyue had been carried all the way to the bridal sedan chair. Only when her feet were firmly on the sedan chair did Jiang Huanxi let go of her.

"Miss, please."

Jasmine and Xiaoliu naturally served as her dowry maids. They lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Jiang Yuyue sat inside without hesitation.

As soon as she sat in the bridal sedan chair, she took off her bridal veil and gently lifted the curtain of the carriage window. Only then did she see her parents standing at the door, looking at her with tears in their eyes.

Jiang Yuyue couldn't help but feel a little helpless. This wasn't a marriage she truly wanted, yet her parents were still so heartbroken. Although that was what she thought, seeing this scene still stirred up some emotions within her, and a bitter feeling welled up in her heart.

Since her rebirth, her parents have unconditionally and silently supported her every action, whether it was asking her parents to go to the capital to avoid trouble, pretending to be He Wu, or even this absurd marriage. This made Jiang Yuyue feel somewhat guilty.

Fortunately, once today is over, there won't be so many troubles anymore.
