Chapter 24: Troubles

“Son-in-law, you’ve worked hard,” Xing Sheng and Lan Ningshuang said in unison, their words heartfelt.

They hadn’t expected much from this marriage arrangement, but the way the son-in-law handled the situation truly impressed them.

Feeling the respect in their eyes, Qin Feng felt pleased.

Luckily, the groom’s robe was quite loose, so my leg wiggling isn’t visible.

“Heh, a sixth-grade warrior is nothing special,” Qin Feng casually retorted.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Tang Xuan clapped his hands and approached, saying, “I didn’t expect Master Qin to study the Literature Saint Dao Lineage and even mastered the Literature Saint Absolute Skill, the Heavenly Mirror. Impressive, truly impressive. No wonder you managed to bring Miss Liu, who was paralyzed, back to the mansion. Oh, I shouldn’t have said that about your new bride. Slip of the tongue, Master Qin, you won’t hold it against me, will you?”

Qin Feng frowned, suppressing the urge to slap him.

It wasn’t fear of Tang Xuan, the son of the Ministry of War’s, but concern about the mysterious expert who had repelled stone.

That level of strength is probably still higher than that of the fallen Wang Meng!

“Young Master Tang, your words are unnecessary. How could a person stoop to the level of a beast in a quarrel? If I win, it’s merely defeating a beast. If the outcome is undecided, then it’s akin to a beast. If I lose, I’m worse than a beast, isn’t that so? So, tangling words with Young Master Tang would only end in my disadvantage, after all. Beasts have always been invincible from the start.”

Comparing wits, huh? Welcome to the 21st-century ‘keyboard warriors’.

Xing Sheng and Lan Ningshuang looked at Qin Feng in surprise. They hadn’t expected their son-in-law to be so sharp-tongued.

Tang Xuan’s face twitched with anger, but after a moment, he seemed to remember something. Instead of exploding, he breathed out and said, “Forget it, forget it. I won’t argue with you. I came here for Miss Liu’s wedding. Master Qin, won’t you welcome me?”

“Son-in-law,” Xing Sheng wanted to say something as Tang Xuan’s group entered the Qin residence, but Qin Feng stopped him with a glance. The situation was grave; if they forcefully blocked Tang Xuan, who knew what extreme measures he might resort to.

Qin Feng suddenly regretted not building a good relationship with Si Zheng earlier. If he had invited him here today, with his Hundred Ghosts Fifth Grade ability, he wouldn’t be in such a passive situation now.

Inside the Qin residence, servants and maids had set up tables and chairs everywhere. Wine and food were continuously being brought in, with one dish following another.

Before long, Qin Feng and his party arrived in the main hall. Qin Jian’an and Second Madam were already seated in the main seats, and Qin An looked delighted by their side.

Seeing that the two main hosts of the day had arrived, someone shouted, “Please, everyone, take your seats.”

The news of a prominent family in Heavenly City marrying into the Qin family had spread throughout Jinyang City. So, even though they were not in the same city, many people knew about it. Besides, Qin Jian’an liked to give out money, and he had quite a few friends. Therefore, it didn’t take long for the entire Qin residence to be filled with guests.

Second Madam smiled and asked, “Feng’er, why did it take so long to welcome the bride?”

“There was a little delay due to some unforeseen circumstances.”

Second Madam looked at the bride in front of her. No matter how she looked, she was satisfied. However, when she saw the wheelchair beneath the bride, she couldn’t help but sigh, “Such a good girl, why did she have to encounter such misfortune?”

After a few more exchanges, the ceremony continued.

First, they bowed to heaven and earth, then to their parents. The whole family was in harmony, and Second Madam stepped forward, holding the bride’s left hand. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, “My girl, from now on, this place will be your home.”

Everyone in the Qin family accepted Liu Jianli regardless of her disability.

Lan Ningshuang and Xing Sheng exchanged a glance. At this moment, they finally understood why Old Master Liu was willing to let his daughter marry here.

Originally, everything was proceeding in a beautiful direction. According to the customs, it was Qin Feng’s turn to lift Liu Jianli’s veil.

However, just at this moment, Tang Xuan, who had been silent since entering the Qin residence, suddenly stood up and said, “No, this won’t do! The bride can’t stand up to bow to the heavens, the earth, or her parents. If unveiling the bride is done so casually, won’t this marriage seem too childish?!”
