"Today, I specially came to help welcome the marriage for my cousin." Xiao Rui Zhao smiled as he stopped the man, "But there's no Crown Prince."

Everyone looked at him doubtfully. When they saw that he didn't seem to mind them at all, they followed behind them timidly as they entered the Jiang Clan's gate. None of them dared to act rashly.

A few of them reminded him boldly, "It's getting late. Sir Jiang is still waiting for the tea to be served!"

Thus, he led the group to the hall.

Jiang Chuanzhong had never expected that the Crown Prince would come in person. He was so frightened that he quickly stood up, wanting to give the seat of honor to Xiao Rui Zhao.

Xiao Rui Zhao smiled as he shook his head, then said to Xiao Rui: "I originally came here to help you get married, but who would've thought that I would end up being in trouble."

Cheng Zixiu, who came with him, smiled and said, "Your Highness, why don't you sit down first? If you stand like this, Lord Jiang won't dare to drink father-in-law's tea!"

Xiao Rui Zhao smiled helplessly, and chose a chair to sit on, and indicated for Xiao Rui to give him some tea.

Seeing that Xiao Rui Zhao had chosen to sit on his seat, Jiang Chuanzhong was naturally trembling with fear, and did not dare to sit on his chair.

Xiao Rui obediently knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Chuanzhong.

Jiang Chuzhong quickly took out a red packet from his sleeve for Xiao Rui to exchange and accompanied him to the Qin family's house to kowtow.

Because someone had already leaked the news to the Qin family, she didn't dare to take Qiao Qiao. She quickly drank Xiao Rui's tea and urged the people beside her to call Jiang Wan out.

Accompanied by Clove and Jasmine, the completely red Jiang Wan arrived at Jun Yutang. After kowtowing to Jiang Chuanzhong and the Qin family, Madam Qi placed a red veil over her head.

The moment she saw Xiao Rui Xuan's sickly face, a look of shock appeared on her face.

He heard Madam Qi say, "Brother Mu, aren't you going to carry your sister on a bridal sedan?"

Jiang Wan knew that her second aunt was calling out to Jiang Yan's older brother, her eldest son, Jiang Chengmu, a cousin whom she had never seen before in both her lives.

"Sister Wan, just get on my back." Covering her head, Jiang Wan heard a clean and gentle voice.

Under the guidance of a person, Jiang Wan lay on a back that wasn't that thick. Then, her feet rose into the air and she was carried onto a bridal sedan.

Amidst the sounds of firecrackers, the bridal sedan was lifted up, the sounds of firecrackers became more concentrated, and the gongs and drums also began to ring.

Jiang Wan knew that she was passing through the Flower Door … Exiting the gates of the Jiang Clan...

Leaving just like that?

Until now, there still seemed to be some uncertainty in Jiang Wan's heart. The place she plotted to leave after her rebirth truly left just like that?

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he heard someone shouting, "It's here, it's here."

Following that, there was another deafening firecracker sound that covered up the clanging of the gong.

Jiang Wan hurriedly sat upright, tightly hugging the precious bottle in her hand.

When the palanquin heard this, the Blessed One from the Jin palace helped her out of the palanquin.

The sounds of people's voices and laughter filled the air, making her feel as if she couldn't tell which direction was which.

Jiang Wan's heartbeat started to quicken. She even started to feel a bit afraid.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her. It was Xiao Rui! That familiar feeling immediately made her feel more at ease.

The host's voice rang out: "Bow, bow to the heavens and earth, bow to the heavens, bow to the earth, bow to the heavens, bow to the husband and wife, bow to each other …"

Jiang Wan was stupefied as she followed the rhythm of the singing and drank before entering the bridal chamber.

Jiang Wan sat on the soft bed, and even through the red cloth covering her head, one could still hear the sound of the hairpin swaying in the midst of the whispers.

Someone said, "Crown Prince, quickly lift your head and let us see the bride."

Jiang Wan suddenly felt her eyes light up.

Xiao Rui Xuan's pale face, filled with happiness, appeared in front of her.

"Ah, the bride is so beautiful!"

"She truly looks pure and white …"

"He's a rich guy …"

The people in the room talked back and forth, but Jiang Wan blushed from embarrassment.

Embarrassed, she turned her face away, her eyes only daring to look at the bed curtain covered with the picture of the Great Red Bai Zi.

"Aiyo, the bride is shy." The crowd started to heckle, and everyone in the room started to laugh.

Xiao Rui was led to her bed and sat down. Then, someone said: "Come, come, come. I'm not going to drink yet."

Only the Jin Family's Blessed Man came up smiling while carrying a golden scarlet plate along with a small gourd that had been split into two halves.

Seeing this room full of unfamiliar faces, Jiang Wan didn't know if she should extend her hand to take it, or if they would hand over the gourd.

Just when she felt very hesitant, she saw a person beside her pick up half of it from the plate and hand it over to her.

Jiang Wan raised her head and looked over. She saw her second aunt, Madam Qi, standing by her side with a face full of smiles.

His second aunt, who was originally a woman, also came with him.

Seeing that there were still familiar people by her side, Jiang Wan felt a lot more at ease.

The two split gourds were held by a red thread and were filled with wine. Jiang Wan covered them with her sleeve and drank it all in one gulp. The spicy taste rushed to her head, making her cough several times.

Xiao Rui looked at her worriedly.

She smiled and shook her head. Just as she felt dizzy, someone else brought the dumplings up and asked them to split the food.

All Blessed One took the gourd from their hands with a smile. Then, he closed the gourd and wrapped it with a red thread before throwing it under the bed.

Jiang Wan looked at Xiao Rui with a bit of surprise, only to find his eyes looking at her with sparkling eyes. Beside her ear, there was someone jeering, "Wow, one over, one over …"

Somehow, she felt her face turn red.

"Alright, alright. Young Master should go to the front and toast." The Blessed One laughed.

Xiao Rui then secretly squeezed Jiang Wan's hand and stood up to leave the courtyard.

Jiang Wan, on the other hand, was told to sit cross-legged on the bed facing the god of happiness.

Madam Qi smiled and nodded. She followed the people who were watching the ceremony out. Even the maidservants in the room were brought out.

The new house that was noisy just a moment ago suddenly became quiet. She was the only one left in that huge room.

Jiang Wan carefully sized up the new room.

It was five main rooms with earlobes. The one on the west had been made into an inner room, and the next one had been a resting room. The ear room had been connected to make a place for washing up.

Prince Jin and Princess Jin were still alive, so this definitely wasn't the upper house of the mansion. It was just that Xiao Rui didn't know if it was Xiao Rui's usual courtyard.

The wall had been reglued, and the curtain was hung with a bright red brocade. The time from marriage to marriage was so short that no repairs had been made.

Looking at the roof, which was inlaid with a blue-green Eight Treasures pattern, and the floor covered with a mirror-tile that allowed one to see the shadow of a person, it was clear that this new house was not a random one.

Jiang Wan's gaze was attracted by the multicolored glass window that was placed between the inner room and the banquet room.
