After getting on the bridal sedan, the sound of the gongs and drums resounded, and he reached the Yang Family.
While they were paying respects, Lee Zheng, who was the most important person at the high class seats, could be considered to be an elder of the man's family.
After finishing a series of complicated rituals, Hemai was sent to her new room.
The banquet outside had nothing to do with her. The nanny repeatedly told her to stay in the room.
When the moon was high in the sky, the noise outside the house gradually dispersed.
No one knew when Hemai fell asleep while leaning against the wall, but from beginning to end, she did not take off her hood, nor did she look at the scene in the room.
When she woke up, she had just heard the sound of a door closing softly. There was also the sound of footsteps. It should be Yang Liulang returning.
She had just pricked up her ears when her stomach let out a burst of loud and strange growls, making all the other sounds fall down.
From morning until evening, she was sleepy and hungry. She didn't even have time to drink her saliva!
As Hemai was holding onto her stomach in distress, she suddenly heard a light laugh coming from inside the house.
A scale lightly lifted the top of Hemai's head, and a pair of deep and warm eyes appeared in front of Hemai.
The room was completely silent. When their gazes met, Hemai's face was still red and his heart was pounding.
"Eat something." Yang Liulang smiled at her, and quickly carried the food on the table to a small wooden table on the brick bed.
Hemai replied as she climbed onto the brick bed with her slippers and started to inspect the furnishings in the room.
This was a typical hunter house. On the walls of the house, there were two tiger skins, a wolf skin and a pitch-black animal fur that Hemai could not recognize.
The room was about five feet square, which was not small. The tables and chairs were arranged in a neat and tidy manner.
The wooden door seemed to have been replaced, and the wood was even newer than the small wooden table on the kang.
There were two bows and arrows in the room.
One was hanging from the tiger skin in the middle of the room, while the other was hanging from the back of the wooden door. The two bows were incredibly heavy just by looking at them.
Yang Liulang handed over the chopsticks. The dishes on the table were a little cold, but none of them had used chopsticks before.
Hemai was so hungry that she broke half of the cake. She picked up a mouthful of vegetables and then stuffed another piece of meat into her mouth.
"Eat slower, there's plenty." Yang Liulang warned his softly.
"What's that?" Hemai's eyes could not help but size up the furnishings in the house. She saw a light yellow stone thing hanging on the brick bed and was extremely curious.
That thing was like a stone, but it didn't seem like a stone at all. It looked like a bone, but it was also very strange.
"It's a wolf stone." Yang Liulang replied, "It's like a wolf's bones, it has the ability to repel evil spirits."
Hemai replied, "Then it should be very precious."
Yang Liulang laughed and said: "It's alright. "If you like it, I'll take you up the mountain to hunt tomorrow. If you're lucky, you'll run into a wolf."
However, Hemai did not immediately agree. She silently ate her meal without saying a word.
Yang Liulang also ate slowly, the two of them seemed to have their own thoughts, and were not in a hurry.
After eating, Hemai wanted to clean up the tableware, but she was stopped by Yang Liulang.
"You've been tired all day. Rest first, you don't have to do these trivial things." Yang Liulang said gently.
Hemai was silent for a moment, before silently retracting her hand.
Yang Liulang's eyes were bright like a star, naturally he could tell that something was wrong with Hemai.
"Where are you feeling uncomfortable?" he asked.
Hemai shook her head.
"Then there's something on your mind." Yang Liulang said with certainty, "Why not tell me about it?"
Hemai raised her eyes and looked at Yang Liulang, her heart pounding.
Tonight was supposed to be a wedding night, filled with love. But to her, no matter what kind of good person Yang Liulang was, this marriage wasn't something that she was willing to agree to.
For a marriage like this, she could only choose to let Yang Liulang down.
She couldn't be a wife who could get involved with other people, and be closer to her husband than Jin Jian. At least, not now.
Instead of concealing anything, how could she not tell him everything? She was unwilling and would not randomly choose to live her life alone like this.
"You should have seen the marriage contract of the Yang Family, right?" Hemai lowered her head and asked.
"Naturally." Yang Liulang nodded his head, "The marriage contract from that year was left at my home. Last month, I handed it over to Lee Zheng."
Hemai thought for a moment, then asked: "Then do you know what is written on the marriage certificate?"
Yang Liulang laughed and said: "What can I write? It should be the hope his parents placed on him when they first set up this marriage. May the love of our children be nothing more than this. "
Hemai raised her eyes and looked at Yang Liulang's lower jaw. The part of his lower jaw that was filled with beard, covered with skin that could be seen.
She did not know what Yang Liulang was thinking, but if Yang Liulang knew that he was not the woman he had arranged with, he would probably be very disappointed as well.
The orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, were all false. And she, as a fake wife, wasn't willing to marry him.
It was likely that none of the men on the day of the wedding would be able to accept this fact.
"You know that I am the daughter of Linn Family, and also know that my name is Hemai, is it?"
"Naturally." Yang Liulang calmly replied as he glanced at Hemai's lowered but shining black eyes.
Hemai took a deep breath, and decided to speak it all out.
"But I'm not the woman you promised to marry on the marriage contract."
Yang Liulang raised his eyebrows and looked at her strangely.
Hemai's entire body felt as though she was being pierced by thorns. She could not bear it anymore, but she had to bite the bullet and continue: "Although I am the daughter of Linn Family, but … The one who had arranged that marriage with you was not my father, but my second uncle. "
Yang Liulang squinted his eyes and nodded, "I know a little about the matters between second uncle and father-in-law. The father-in-law wandered outside all year round and didn't return home. second uncle resides in the Xiaoqing Village, and making an agreement with a woman's family, this sort of matter, will be handled by his or her own family, and he or she will not make a big fuss over it. "
Hemai knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly replied: "No! I mean... You... "Your father-in-law is not my father, and your wife is not me. All of this, everything is …"
"Forced."
Before she could yell out those four words, Yang Liulang had already taken over.
Hemai was startled, "You …"
"I know, I know all of this."
Yang Liulang smiled, his gaze gentle and warm, "Linn Hemai will help a little sister to get married, and use this to solve the urgent situation at home."
"All of this has already spread throughout the Xiaoqing Village. Since I have decided to marry you, how could I not know the truth?"
Hemai was stunned, "What do you mean? You... You knew from the beginning that I wasn't Linn Hemiao? "
Yang Liulang was silent for a moment, before his gaze slowly swept towards the bright moon outside the window.
