Chapter 248 Fake Son 3
As the auspicious time arrives, the sounds of firecrackers and gongs and drums rang out one after another.
Nan Xi walked through the bustling courtyard and came to the sedan chair.
The Wang family's wedding procession had been waiting for a long time. Wang Ruolan sat in the sedan chair with mixed feelings.
She was full of curiosity about this "husband" whom she had never met, but she was also uneasy because of her stepmother's instructions before she left.
Nan Xi kicked the sedan chair, and the matchmaker helped Wang Ruolan down. The two entered the Li Mansion and the wedding ceremony officially began.
Nan Xi and Wang Ruolan completed the traditional wedding ceremony under the witness of the guests.
……
"Send to the bridal chamber!"
Wang Ruolan was sent to Nan Xi's Yinxiu Pavilion, while Nan Xi stayed to entertain the guests.
There was constant drinking and laughter.
Nan Xi dressed in men's clothes and behaved properly, and there was nothing wrong with her.
As night fell, the guests gradually dispersed and Nan Xi returned to Yinxiu Pavilion.
Wang Ruolan had already been feeling uneasy. On the one hand, she was worried about her aunt, and on the other hand, she felt guilty towards the Li family. After all, she married Master Li with a mission.
The lights in Yinxiu Pavilion illuminate the room with warmth.
Nan Xi gently pushed open the door. Wang Ruolan was sitting on the edge of the bed, twisting the handkerchief in her hands nervously.
Nan Xi followed the rules, gently picked up the scale bar, and prepared to lift the veil.
Wang Ruolan sat upright on the bed, her heart beating faster, and she could feel the slight tremor under the veil.
As the scale bar was gently lifted, the red silk slowly slid down, revealing Wang Ruolan's beautiful and refined face.
Her eyebrows are as green as distant mountains, her eyes are as rippling as autumn water, and a shy blush blooms on her cheeks, making her look even more charming.
The two people's eyes met in the air, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Nan Xi swallowed, what a beauty.
Wang Ruolan also looked up at Nan Xi, and what she saw was a face with picturesque eyebrows, red lips, white teeth, delicate skin, and clear contours.
This face is actually three times more beautiful than mine.
Wang Ruolan suddenly felt a little ashamed. If her father had not forced her, Master Li would have made a better choice. Now, he was her husband.
"Are you...are you hungry? Come and eat."
Nan Xi didn't know where to start for a moment, so she asked Wang Ruolan to eat first.
Wang Ruolan lowered her head slightly and said "hmm" obediently.
The surrounding red candles flickered with warm light, illuminating the faces of the newlyweds. The two of them sat at the table, surprisingly harmonious with each other.
Neither of them spoke for a while. When they were almost done eating, Nan Xi asked the maids to come in and clean up.
After the two of them washed up, the maids left one by one, leaving only the red candle making a buzzing sound from time to time.
Wang Ruolan was wearing a middle-length dress and her whole body was trembling slightly. Although marrying into the Li family was not her wish, her husband was so handsome that she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Nan Xi sat carelessly on the edge of the bed and spoke straight to the point.
"My marriage to you was a calculation, you know this, right?"
Wang Ruolan was stunned, then nodded. She felt a little contemptuous of herself in her heart. She came here with calculations, so how could she expect true love?
"I already have someone I love in my heart, so I won't touch you in the future."
Wang Ruolan smiled bitterly, it turned out that her husband's gentleness was just an illusion.
She nodded to show that she understood.
"However, since we are married, I will still give you the proper respect. As long as you behave yourself, I will give you the greatest freedom.
In this Yinxiu Pavilion, besides me, you are the most powerful one, you can do whatever you want."
Wang Ruolan's eyes lit up. Her husband was so tolerant. She felt much more at ease.
Thinking of her aunt, her eyes dimmed again. Her stepmother would not let her go. Her aunt was in poor health and needed medicine to save her life.
"Thank you!"
Wang Ruolan couldn't reveal anything, otherwise her aunt might be in danger.
Nan Xi was not afraid of scaring people to death at all. She leaned over and said to Wang Ruolan.
"Are you afraid that your aunt will be in danger? I can save your aunt, do you dare to trust me?"
Wang Ruolan was really frightened. She thought her mission was secret, but she didn't know that her husband knew everything.
Wang Ruolan bit her lower lip, her mind was full of thoughts. Looking at Nan Xi's sincere eyes, her thoughts kept wavering.
"Can I trust you?"
"Of course!"
Nan Xi pulled Wang Ruolan to sit beside the bed, "We are already married, and we will be tied together from now on. Your stepmother is unkind, so why do you still want to be filial to her?"
It was the first time that Wang Ruolan heard such outrageous words. Her mouth opened slightly in surprise, and her round eyes were the same as Xiaoying's.
Nan Xi waved her hands in front of Wang Ruolan and said, "Come back to your senses."
Only then did Wang Ruolan shut her mouth. Could she really cooperate with her husband?
Nan Xi persuaded again: "I can save your aunt, if you want to take her out, you can."
Wang Ruolan was really moved this time. The only thing she couldn't let go of was her aunt. If her aunt was not in the hands of her stepmother, what would be wrong with her being an unfilial person?
"Okay, I believe you."
Nan Xi patted Wang Ruolan on the head and said, "Be good, don't act rashly in the future. When we return home, we will rescue your aunt. From now on, you will be part of my Li family, and we will live a good life."
Wang Ruolan blushed. Her husband was so gentle that he actually treated her like a child.
Nan Xi really treated Wang Ruolan as a child just now. After all, she was only fourteen years old, which was still a junior high school student in modern times.
The two reached a consensus and lay down to sleep.
Because Nan Xi had given warning in advance, Wang Ruolan now knew that Nan Xi would not touch her, so she felt much more relaxed.
She was woken up before dawn today. She was hungry and sleepy after a whole day. She had just eaten and taken a shower. She thought she would not be able to sleep, but she fell asleep in a short while.
Nan Xi also closed her eyes and went to sleep. She had to think of a way to get Wang Ruolan's aunt out of the palace.
A dreamless night.
Wang Ruolan woke up just after the hour of Mao in the morning. This was her biological clock. She got up every morning to make snacks for her stepmother and then went to pay her respects, regardless of the season.
She blinked on the bed, looked at the handsome face beside her, and smiled.
She is already married, so she no longer needs to pay respects to her stepmother.
However, she still had to get up early to pay her respects to her mother-in-law. If her husband treated her well, she would treat her parents-in-law even better.
Nan Xi opened her eyes. She woke up when Wang Ruolan moved and looked at the sky outside.
"Ruolan, it's still early, you should sleep a little longer. Parents won't be there so early, we can go there later."
Wang Ruolan heard this but did not lie back down, "Husband, I..."
"Call me Brother Nan."
Wang Ruolan blushed again, "Okay...Brother Nan."
"I'll get up first and make breakfast for my mother-in-law. The snacks I make are delicious. My stepmother likes them very much. I'm sure my mother-in-law will like them too."
Nan Xi frowned. There was no cook in Governor Wang's house? And he needed his concubine's daughter to get up early to make snacks? This was unbelievable.
Wang Ruolan saw what Nan Xi meant and shook her head.
"No, it's just that my stepmother likes it."
This is the stepmother deliberately torturing the concubine's daughter.
