Chapter 752: The Wedding Day, Riding on A Big Horse!
“Forbidden book?”
Ye Chen suppressed his confusion and walked out of Mu Caiwei’s room. He said while frowning, “It seems like Mu Caiwei knows the origin of the book.”
However, since she said nothing about it, it was not nice for him to continue asking. If he did, it would seem that he was acting slightly unusual.
“Looks like I’ll have to find out more about this book from other sources!”
He shook his head and walked towards his room, only to see Jiu’er already waiting there.
“Brother Shi…”
As soon as she saw him, Jiu’er seemed to have thought of something. Her face flushed, and she hurriedly corrected herself, “Bridegroom, young mistress has already arranged a new room for you. Come with me quickly!”
There were four old men following behind her. All of them were peak Martial Dao masters. However, the people were very cold and did not even look at Ye Chen.
“Bridegroom?”
Ye Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry. He was still not used to being called that. However, he felt relieved when he thought that it was only a deal with Mu Caiwei.
Under Jiu’er’s lead, the group left the King Mu Fort and went directly to a residence less than a kilometer away from the fort.
Along the way, countless servants in the fort stopped what they were doing when they saw Ye Chen. They bowed to him and called him bridegroom.
However, the expressions on everyone’s faces were completely indifferent, and they were mostly filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. After all, they were extremely dissatisfied with Mu Caiwei choosing such a husband.
Jiu’er lowered her head and said nothing. No one knew what she was thinking about. Soon, she led Ye Chen into a decorated bridal room.
The bridal room was currently decorated with lanterns and colored banners. Whether it was the bedding, the bed covers, or even the tables and chairs, they were all changed into new ones. They were all red in color and looked extremely festive.
“Bridegroom, w-we’re here. This is a property under the King Mu Fort, and it’s also the mansion that the young mistress arranged for you.”
Jiu’er left after saying that. She did not give Ye Chen a chance to speak while the four Martial Dao masters guarded the mansion quietly.
Ye Chen was confused, “Why is this girl being so mysterious…”
…
The next day before dawn, the entire King Mu Fort was bustling with activity. All the servants of the fort were busy setting up the wedding venue.
Even the entire Tianfeng sea area was shaken by the news. Countless forces headed towards the King Mu Fort.
Throughout the entire time, Ye Chen stayed in the bridal room. No one paid any attention to him. Even Mu Caiwei and King Mu, her father-in-law in name, did not come, let alone the servants. Ye Chen was like an existence that everyone had forgotten.
When it was almost noon, a maidservant knocked on the door of the bridal room and said numbly, “Bridegroom, the wedding is about to begin. The young mistress asked us to help you bathe, change your clothes, and dress up!”
Ye Chen nodded lightly, “Alright!”
At that moment, a few maidservants walked in while carrying various items. They helped Ye Chen bathe, change, and dress up.
It only took five minutes.
In the end, Ye Chen was dressed in a red groom’s ancient costume with a big red flower hanging on his chest. He looked like an ancient groom.
“Bridegroom, the auspicious hour is coming. You should go get the bride!”
An old man walked in and led Ye Chen out of the mansion after the leading maidservant said that. There was a group of black horses with soft fur. They were tall and energetic.
Most importantly, the streets outside the mansion were filled with people from Tianfeng City.
The old man held the horse’s head, “Bridegroom, please get on the horse!”
Two warriors grabbed Ye Chen’s arm and pushed him onto the horse. Clearly, they thought that Ye Chen was useless, and that it was too difficult for him to get on the horse.
When they saw that, a stir broke out among the people from Tianfeng City who surrounded them. They started discussing while pointing at Ye Chen.
“Look, is that the guy who is going to marry Young Mistress Mu?”
“This person looks ordinary. I don’t know why Young Mistress Mu would fall for such a person. She’s such a perfect lady, but she’s been taken by a pig. Sad, this is just sad…”
“Didn’t King Mu Fort say that this guy is marrying into the family? Why is there a wedding ceremony?”
“I heard that Young Mistress Mu is kind-hearted. In order to not embarrass this guy, she arranged a wedding ceremony…”
“Look, that guy even needs help on his horse. He’s a real piece of trash!”
“…”
Countless people wailed and cursed. There were even people who wanted to rush over and question Ye Chen, but they were stopped by the guards around them.
Throughout the entire process, Ye Chen sat on the horse. His expression was as calm as water. It was as if he did not hear the insults from the people around him. His calmness made the powerhouse who was in charge of protecting him secretly nod.
…
At the same time, inside the King Mu Fort, Mu Caiwei wore a bright red phoenix crown, and the fine pearl curtain hanging from the crown completely covered her beautiful features. Even so, her long black hair that was like a waterfall was draped behind her.
She was wearing a bright red wedding robe made of Four Happiness brocade. She tied it around her waist, accentuating her slender waist.
She wore an exquisite jade belt around her it, and under the belt was a pair of fair feet wrapped in golden silk boots. At that moment, she was like the most beloved concubine of the ancient palace, making everything pale in comparison.
“Young mistress, you look so beautiful today!”
Jiu’er, who was in charge of putting makeup on, looked up at her reflection in the dressing mirror and praised sincerely, “It’s really a blessing from his previous life that the bridegroom is marrying you.”
What she did not notice was that Mu Caiwei’s beautiful face, which was covered by the curtain of pearls hanging from the phoenix crown, was currently streaming with tears.
Any woman would fantasize about who their future husband would be when they were at the age they first experienced love.
Even she was no exception!
However, being born into a family like the King Mu Fort meant that she, Mu Caiwei, had to make many decisions that were not what her heart wanted.
‘Ahh, Mu Caiwei, oh Mu Caiwei, why are you sad?’
She secretly wiped her tears and clenched her fair hands tightly, ‘For father, for my younger brother, for the King Mu Fort, I made the right choice. Moreover, Young Master Shi and I are not really married…’
Thinking to this point, she took a deep breath in and said, “Jiu’er, do you remember what I told you before?”
“Young mistress, do you really want that?”
Jiu’er blushed. She lowered her head and shyly said, “But tonight is you and your husband’s day, I…”
“Silly girl!”
Mu Caiwei’s tears instantly turned into a smile, “Do you think I don’t know that you like Young Master Shi? Furthermore, I’m marrying Young Master Shi, and you’re the dowry maid.”
At that moment, powerful footsteps could be heard, and King Mu walked in.
“Caiwei, the bridal escort team is here!”
King Mu looked at his daughter with a complicated expression. Logically speaking, although any father would not be able to accept his daughter’s being married off, they would still wish them well.
However, he was not happy at all.
In fact, this was extremely painful to him!
The reason being his daughter was marrying a useless person!
