"Look at that slut, she did not even turn her head and say something to us as if she could not wait to leave the residence and enter QinWang Fu."
Looking at XuanRong who was being ushered by Zou mama inside the wedding sedan, Xiao Lou could not help but whisper some disdainful words.
"Hurmph!"
XuanLi did not say anything but his response was filled with contempt and scorn.
Sensing her husband's foul mood, Xiao Lou showed an aggrieved expression. She tried to look pitiful in front of many people. Wiping the invisible tears in her eyes, Xiao Lou softly cried, trying to gain other people's attention.
"Oh.. Husband, that girl, Rong'er, did not even blink an eye when she went outside. How can she treat us like this just because she will be marrying into the imperial family? She did not even pay any respect towards you, her father. Ai. Is it because deep inside her heart, she does not accept me as her mother? *sob*"
Xiao Lou inconspicuously looked at the people around her and saw the changes in their expression. Hidden behind her handkerchief, Xiao Lou released a very menacing expression.
'You, slut! Even if you enter in the Imperial Family, I will destroy your reputation!'
"Husband, what should I do? I-----"
Xiao Lou's words was cut off when a whole crowd of men wearing a red cloth went towards them. Looking at the dress they were wearing, one could see that they were the servants from QinWang Fu. XuanLi had a bad premonition when he saw them. Still, he had no choice but to ask their purpose.
"Greetings, Prime Minister Xuan. I am an eunuch of QinWang Fu, Zhang Wu Li[1]. His Highness ordered this servant to carry the betrothal gifts back to QinWang Fu."
Hearing the eunuch words, XuanLi and Xiao Lou's countenance darkened. XuanLi opened his mouth, trying to say something but before he could even say anything, Zhang Wu Li smiled and continued talking.
"Since Her Highness will be entering QinWang Fu, it is natural to bring all her belongings."
"Wait! Housekeeper must be mistaken. The betrothal gifts that were given by His Highness should belong to us and not to Rong'er since it is natural to pay the bride's family a bride price for all the hardship and effort we used in raising the bride."
"Hahahah. Prime Minister likes to joke. Everyone knows that Her Highness grew up in LuShan. How could Prime Minister grab the credit of raising Her Highness? Men, what are you waiting for? Bring all the betrothal gifts outside and follow the wedding procession."
"You dare?!"
XuanLi's voice rose, trying to intimidate Zhang Wu Li but to his disappointment, Zhang Wu Li did not show any fear, instead, a small smirk could be seen in his face.
"Prime Minister should not make things difficult for this servant. This servant was only ordered by His Highness under the supervision of Chief Mu. Would Prime Minister want to talk with Chief Mu regarding to the betrothal gifts?"
XuanLi could not retort back. In the end, he and Xiao Lou could only agree even though they want to hack Xu Fei Yi into pieces.
"This servant thanks Prime Minister Xuan. Since this servant was able to fulfill his duty, this servant will leave now. May Prime Minister not forget to attend the wedding ceremony later."
After Zhang Wu Li left, Xiao Lou could only stomp her feet in anger.
"What are you doing? Go and prepare, we are leaving."
"What? Husband---"
"Stop making a scene! Do you want to defy the imperial edict? Compose yourself. We still need to be present during the wedding ceremony."
Without any other choice, Xiao Lou could only follow XuanLi."
--------
When the wedding procession arrived in front of Prince Xu of the First Rank's palace, XuanRong was already feeling tired. The wedding procession took half a shichen before they arrived. She wanted the wedding to end immediately so she could rest. Unfortunately, the wedding had yet to start.
*tock!*
XuanRong heard a soft tap. It must be Xu Fei Yi, tapping the edge of the wedding sedan[2]. XuanRong could not help but smile when she realized how eager Xu Fei Yi was in marrying her.
When XuanRong entered the hall, she saw many noble families present. Although Xu Fei Yi was viewed as an idiot, a fool, he was still a member of the Imperial Family. Thus, the nobles would give him face.
In the entire ceremony, XuanRong could feel a burning gaze directed to her. When she raised her head and wonder her eyes around, she saw Xu Ji An standing far away from the front. Not wanting to destroy her mood, XuanRong removed her eyes away from him.
The ceremony ended well without any problem.
Thus, on this day forward, XuanRong, the Eldest Di daughter of the Prime Minister residence entered Xu QinWang Fu and became QinWangFei.
---------
The next morning, XuanRong slowly opened her eyes. she raised her hand, trying to rub her eyes when she felt stuffy, as if she was being pressed by a huge object.
When she successfully opened her eyes, she was startled to see Xu Fei Yi beside her, sleeping soundly. His face was buried in her chest, while his hands were hugging her waist. XuanRong froze when she realized how intimate their position was.
'What….. happened?' XuanRong foolishly asked.
