Zhong Yong and Jiang Yuyan drank the cross-cupped wine lovingly. There was still a show to follow. The blanket had dates and longans, and the matchmaker wanted to say that she would have a child soon.

The matchmaker was prepared to do so. This was the last step of her hosting the wedding, but Zhong Yong did not give her a chance. He took out a red packet and stuffed it into her hand.

“You’ve worked hard. Go back and rest early.”

The matchmaker still wanted to say that she was not done yet, but Zhong Yong pushed her out of the bridal chamber. Zhong Yong had no relatives, and the officials in the court were afraid of his identity as the emperor’s younger brother, so no one dared to come and make a scene.

After pushing the matchmaker away, Zhong Yong asked the servant girls to prepare hot water. Jiang Yuyan blushed from embarrassment.

The matchmaker stood outside the bridal chamber and sighed. There was still one last thing left to do. Why was it so uncomfortable? Opening the red packet and taking a look, the matchmaker’s worried expression disappeared. She was so excited that her hands were trembling. There were five taels of silver in the red packet. No wonder she was holding it so tightly!

However, the bigger the red packet the host gave, the more the matchmaker wanted to complete the whole process. Otherwise, it would be a sin if the bride was not able to get pregnant.

Inside the house, Zhong Yong ordered the servant maids to bring food and drinks to Jiang Yuyan so that she could eat and drink to her heart’s content. A night spent in the same room also required physical strength. Zhong Yong was feeding Jiang Yuyan chicken drumsticks when the matchmaker pushed open the door and walked in.

“Groom, there’s still one last thing to do. This is a major event that concerns the birth of your children as soon as possible.”

“There’s no rush to give birth. It’s okay, it’s okay. Go home quickly!”

Zhong Yong wanted to spend some alone time with her. Seeing that the matchmaker had returned, he pushed her shoulders with both hands and sent her out again.

“Servant maids, prepare some delicious food for the wedding granny to take back.”

To prevent the matchmaker from disturbing him and Jiang Yuyan again, Zhong Yong asked the servant girl to take her to the kitchen and give her some food to take back.

The dishes in the kitchen were all made by the imperial chef. The bridal lady’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She would let her family taste the imperial chef’s cooking. They would be overjoyed.

“Groom, remember that dates bear osmanthus.”

The matchmaker was responsible. She was still shouting when she was pushed out!

“I know, I know.”

Zhong Yong pushed her out of the house and immediately closed the door. Zhong Yong’s impatient behavior amused Jiang Yuyan.

“You’re making her anxious to death.”

Jiang Yuyan replied faintly. She was no longer the little girl who had just escaped the Peach Blossom Cove. Her elder brother was the city lord, and before her sister-in-law entered the house, she had taken over her brother’s place to manage the back of the house. She had learned a lot about how to control people.

It would be best to treat your servants with kindness and force. You can’t be blindly kind to them and make them think you’re weak and easy to bully.

You can’t just punish them blindly. It will make the servants only afraid of you and won’t be of one heart.

Zhong Yong went to the shower room that he had built in the courtyard. He picked up a bucket of cold water and poured it over his head. Water droplets flowed down his strong muscles, but the cold water still could not chase away the flames in his heart.

Zhong Yong picked up the second bucket and poured it over his head. Then, he began to smear the bathing Doudou on his body. This bathing Doudou was made by his master. One bead was just enough to wash him once. After washing, his body was fragrant and smooth. As a grown man, he fell in love with bathing.

Zhong Yong washed himself thoroughly, brushing his teeth and gargling his mouth to get rid of all the alcohol.

After brushing his teeth, Zhong Yong even put his hands together and breathed hard. After ensuring there was no stench, he finished washing himself in satisfaction. He wrapped the groom’s clothes around himself and returned to the new room in a vacuum.

When the servant girls saw the master’s bare legs wrapped in the groom’s clothes, they were so frightened that they did not dare to look at him. They all looked down at the ground, not daring to act rashly.

“All of you can leave now and stand guard outside the door.”

Zhong Yong chased them away. He and Yu Yan might make a big commotion later, so he couldn’t let them listen in through the window.

A few servant girls bowed and hurriedly left. They were all unmarried young ladies. It was too embarrassing to do such a thing. It was better to stay away. Otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable without a man for a long night.

After Zhong Yong drove the servant girl away, he pushed open the door and entered the room. There were two red candles with dragon and phoenix in the room. The flames were very high, but the light was not very bright.

When Zhong Yong entered the room, Jiang Yuyan stood up from the bathtub. Water droplets flowed down her fair skin. Her pearl-like skin made Zhong Yong’s eyes widen as he walked towards Jiang Yuyan.

When Jiang Yuyan heard the sound of the door and footsteps, she was so frightened that she covered her chest and squatted in the water again. She shouted angrily,

“Get out.”

“Yuyan, it’s me.”

Zhong Yong was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped in his tracks. He was like a child who had done something wrong and dared not go forward again. He had just gotten married and had already angered Madam. What could he do?

Hearing it was Zhong Yong, Jiang Yuyan let down her guard but still shyly turned her back to Zhong Yong. Because she was too nervous, her body couldn’t help but tremble. She bit her lower lip and asked softly,

“You... Are you done?”

Hearing that Jiang Yuyan wasn’t angry, Zhong Yong became bolder.

“I’m done, Madam.. I’ll carry you out!”
