Chapter 535: She’s Getting Married!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
News of Xie Heng and Zhao Chuchu having another wedding quickly spread across the Imperial City.
Many people who were jealous of Xie Heng immediately told the Censorate about him, saying that he shouldn’t do something like that.
But the emperor was rather happy.
The more perfect Xie Heng was, the more the emperor disliked him.
Because that would mean that the royal family was worse than the Xie clan.
But if Xie Heng had many flaws, that would mean that he was only an ordinary person as well.
The Censorate raised the issue, emphasizing its importance, but the emperor dismissed it outright and decided not to do anything to Xie Heng.
The Censorate minister was speechless.
Zhao Chuchu and Xie Hengs wedding was held on the ninth day of June.
Since Mrs. Yuan was Zhao Chuchu’s Godmother, the Yuan Clan was Zhao Chuchu’s maiden family.
To let Zhao Chuchu have a grand wedding, the Yuan clan spent an enormous amount of money to buy a mansion so Zhao Chuchu could start the wedding there.
After wearing the wedding dress and veil, Zhao Chuchu felt a strange feeling well up in her chest.
She was getting married.
While novel, the event also made Zhao Chuchu feel a little nervous.
Xie Heng, the Yuan clan, and Hu Yiming tried to play the wedding door game with Xie Heng, but they couldn’t block Xie Heng at all.
Qiao Heting was part of the bride-fetching group as well. He laughed and said, “This is our Number One Scholar. So you don’t need to waste time trying. No one can stop him!”
Xie Heng was elated and looked even happier than when he achieved rank one in the exams.
After breaking through several layers of the human blockade, he finally reached Zhao Chuchu. A sense of happiness and bliss filled his heart as he looked at the girl who wore a veil for him.
He finally found his girl in this life.
“Chuchu, I came to fetch you home,” he said softly. Then he swept Zhao Chuchu off her feet and carried her into his arms before walking out to the main hall.
The parents of the original owner passed away a long time ago. Zhao Chuchu kowtowed to their memorial tablets and thought, “Regardless of who I am, I will always be your daughter. I believe ‘Chuchu’ will also find love and joy like me.”
The moment she thought about that, a pair of magpies flew in from the window. They landed on the table and started chirping happily.
Everyone was shocked.
“Magpies! Those are magpies!’
“This is the first time I’ve seen magpies that aren’t afraid of people.”
“l suppose they really are a match made in heaven.”
The crowd chattered.
Zhao Chuchu looked at the magpies, and she couldn’t help but smile widely.
Did the parents of the original owner send over the magpies as their blessing?
Xie Heng also kneeled before the memorial tablets and kowtowed to them.
After that, Zhao Chuchu went onto the bridal sedan chair and went through all the wedding procedures.
Yuan Hui said softly, “Chuchu, I just realized how tiring getting married is! Are you alright? You haven’t eaten the whole day!’
“I’m alright. I’m not tired,” Zhao Chuchu replied.
She was no ordinary person, and it wasn’t easy for her to feel tired.
After the bowing ceremony, Zhao Chuchu was sent into the bridal chamber.
Under the guidance of the wedding chaperone, Xie Heng used the beam of a weighing scale to lift the veil.
His bride was so beautiful that he couldn’t move his eyes away.
Everyone laughed and said, “Look! Dr. Zhao has the Number One Scholar under her spell! Mr. Xie, don’t forget to drink the cross-cupped wine with her!”
Xie Heng blushed a little as he took over the wine glass and drank the wedding wine with Zhao Chuchu.
From that moment on, they were officially husband and wife. In good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, they will be with each other for the rest of their lives.
Xie Heng still needed to go outside to drink with the guests, so Zhao Chuchu was left alone in the room.
Yuan Hui went over and said, “He forgot to blink when he was looking at you just now. Chuchu, you are the prettiest bride in the world.”
Kang Xiuwan smiled and said, “Huihui, Heir Qiao will do the same when you get married. 1 noticed just now that Heir Qiao kept looking at you during the wedding.”
Yuan Hui immediately got bashful. She hit Kang Xiuwan with her first and said, “Eww! I’m talking about Chuchu! Why are you talking about me? Hmph!
I’m going to laugh at you when you get married!”
Kang Xiuwan looked down and smiled but did not reply.
Zhao Meilan asked, “Sis, is Mr. Xie doing this because you and he didn’t have a bowing ceremony in Lengshui Village, and he wants to make up for it?” “Yes,” Zhao Chuchu nodded and said.
“That’s great. That means that brother-in-law really cares about you. You don’t know this, but when brother-in-law became the Number One Scholar, many people gossiped about it. I was so mad!” Zhao Meilan was still quite angry when she thought about those people. But Xie Hengs actions really helped her prove those people wrong.
Why would they say that Xie Heng would abandon Zhao Chuchu after becoming successful? How dare they say that their marriage wasn’t legitimate just because they didn’t have a bowing ceremony? They even said that Xie Heng was going to marry someone more prestigious.
Zhao Meilan wanted to argue with them, but she couldn’t win.
“Meilan, there is no need to listen to what other people say. They control their mouths, and they can say whatever they want. 1 know you’re mad for my sake, but I feel that they are not worth your anger. You know what kind of person your brother-in-law is way better than them, don’t you?”
Zhao Chuchu consoled Zhao Meilan.
Zhao Meilan nodded and said, “That’s true. There’s really no need to get mad. Anyway, news of your wedding with brother-in-law will go back to the village. I would like to see those people’s expressions!”
“Huihui, your wedding is coming soon also, right?” asked Zhao Chuchu looking at Yuan Hui.
Yuan Hui nodded.
Qiao Heting and Yuan Hui’s wedding was supposed to happen last year. But they had to delay it because of some unexpected events. However, they had already chosen a new day, which would happen on October 16.
“Where are you going to start the ceremony from?”
“From Guangqing Province.”
Zhao Chuchu thought about the distance. Guangqing Province is really far from the Imperial City. It will truly be a long-distance marriage.
“Are you nervous?”
“Nope.”
She was nervous last year, but the wedding got delayed.
So Yuan Hui didn’t feel nervous about it anymore.
Old Mrs. Yuan also knew that the Imperial City differed greatly from Guangqing Province. She had taught Yuan Hui how to deal with social occasions and how to be a good female leader of the clan. As a result, Yuan Hui looked a lot more mature now. She was no longer overly innocent or naive.
After Yuan Hui married and moved into the Imperial City, Zhao Chuchu had another friend. Princess Jianan would probably like Yuan Hui as well.
Yuan Hui didn’t stay in their room for too long.
Zhao Chuchu waited alone for Xie Heng to return.
The Xie clan had a few servants now as well. So Zhao Chuchu got them to prepare a tub of hot water so she could have a nice warm bath and change out of the cumbersome wedding clothes.
When she came out of the bath, Xie Heng returned as well.
He had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, but he wasn’t drunk.
When he saw Zhao Chuchu come over, he stared at her with unflinching eyes.
Zhao Chuchu took a hangover pill from her carry-on space and fed it to him. “You’re going to have a headache, and this will prevent it.”
“Chuchu, I’m so happy,” said Xie Heng. “We’re finally married.”
This occasion belonged to him and Zhao Chuchu, and he had been planning for it for a long time.
“I’m happy to marry you as well.” Zhao Chuchu smiled. “But you smell like alcohol right now. Do you want to go bathe first?”
“Okay.” Xie Heng felt a little uncomfortable as well. He immediately left after Zhao Chuchu suggested it.
Zhao Chuchu couldn’t help but laugh.
Xie Heng was only 17 this year. In her eyes, he’s still underage.
So, they couldn’t really get intimate tonight..
