The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 1220 - 282: The Secret of Death_3
Chapter 1220: Chapter 282: The Secret of Death_3
Princess Xi Yun suddenly stiffened and stared at him with wide eyes.
Pei Wendong gazed intently at her and then bent down to kiss her lips again.
The erotic Picture of the Spring Palace, Pei Wendong had sneakily looked at it too, and Fang Fu had even explained it to him. He knew how to do it!
As a result, in the middle of the night, the maids attending to their baths saw that their Commandery Princess had bloodshot eyes, a blackened face, a sullen expression, and even a bitten lip. "Sir Junma seems so gentle and cultured, how could he be so rough with the Commandery Princess!?"
Outside the bridal chamber, Pei Wendong’s face was on fire with embarrassment.
After Xi Yun had freshened up and lay down again, Pei Wendong went to quickly wash himself, and then lay down on the outer side of the bed.
Pei Wendong wondered whether he should apologize again, to comfort her?
After a while, Xi Yun spoke up, "Do you really not have any concubines?"
Seeing that she had begun to talk, Pei Wendong hurriedly turned towards her, "No. And I won’t have any in the future! I... I will definitely know how next time!"
For no clear reason, Xi Yun felt a wave of sweetness wash over her, and the pain on her body and lips didn’t seem to hurt anymore, "...I’m not sleepy yet."
Pei Wendong reached out to hold her hand, "Then let me tell you a story!"
The story went on late into the night, and the next day, neither of them was able to wake up at the scheduled time for recognizing relatives.
Pei Yuan and Pei Qian were quite pleased; though Princess Xi Yun was occasionally willful, she was a thousand times better than Xie Yi!
The two hurried to get up for the recognition of relatives, but it was already three minutes after 9:00 a.m.
As soon as they entered the room, they were greeted by a room full of people looking at them with smiles both joyous and laden with innuendo, causing Xi Yun’s ears to burn.
Chang Yonglin gave Pei Wendong a suggestive wink.
Pei Wendong glared at him in secret, it wasn’t at all like what they were thinking!
Pei Qin smiled as she accepted the tea they offered in respect and gave Xi Yun a red envelope.
Mo Heng also handed Pei Wendong a red envelope.
Xi Yun presented them with clothes, shoes, and socks; although they were made by the seamstresses, the craftsmanship was exquisite and elaborate.
The little Radishes’ pouches, adorned with little gold ingots and jade bell pendants, were thrilled to have a new aunt; this was a rare treat, and the little Radishes surrounded Xi Yun, calling her "aunt" repeatedly, making Xi Yun’s face turn red.
With the arrival of the new bride, the female master of the Pei Residence had to take charge. Pei Yuan and Pei Qian moved out, and from then on, they were just guests.
Pei Wendong had five days of marriage leave, and Pei Qin suggested he first take Xi Yun around to get familiar for a few days, to Tiance Mansion to relax and eat.
After dining with the whole family, Xi Yun and Pei Wendong, the newlyweds, began their life together officially.
The reply from the Dan family had arrived, agreeing to the marriage, but they demanded Chang Yonglin to personally come with a betrothal gift, traveling the water route.
Chang Yonglin got seasick easily.
"Of all people, he had to fall for the daughter of the Leader of Cao Gang, he’s just going to have to bite the bullet!" Fang Liuming patted his shoulder in comfort.
Chang Yonglin pumped with fighting spirit, "The engagement is just one step away from completion, I will definitely go there personally to present the betrothal gifts!"
"But you might lose half your life," Pei Qian said with furrowed brows.
"Still, I have to go!" Chang Yonglin insisted firmly, Sister Qin had to go in person, and he couldn’t just reap the benefits without effort.
Pei Qin gave it some thought and nodded, "Then get ready. After Wendong and Xi Yun’s visit back home three days after the wedding, we’ll set off. Now that it’s the fragrant month of April, taking a boat trip will be most refreshing!"
With Pei Qin traveling, Mo Heng naturally accompanied her.
Landlord Chang had already prepared the betrothal gifts and money.
After Xi Yun and Pei Wendong’s return visit, they got ready to head to Tongzhou Harbour and take a boat south.
Old Lady Chang felt somewhat uncomfortable, worrying about her eldest grandson; he got extremely seasick, and traveling to Songjiang Prefecture like this would cost him half his life. The Dan family had agreed to the marriage; they wouldn’t let Ms. Dan be wronged, yet they were still making things difficult.
Pei Wendong and Xi Yun also came to see them off, and as Pei Qin waited to board the ship, Pei Wendong felt waves of anxiety. Was his elder sister going to leave with her husband for good?! Remembering what his second and third sisters had said, he dared not ask more questions. His elder sister had been toiling for their siblings for over a decade, and now, with her health impaired and threatened on all sides, it was time for her to live a life of leisure and comfort!
Xiao Yong also thought that once Mo Heng took Pei Qin away, they wouldn’t be coming back, at least not in the coming years.
However, before they could board the ship, the Dan family had already arrived.
Leader of Bang Gang Dan Zhaoxiong, Madam Shan, Dan Yefei, accompanied by Dan Mingzhu, the whole family had come. It turned out that sending Chang Yonglin by water was a test.
"General Pei! I’ve heard so much about you! To meet you today fulfills a long-held wish of mine!" Dan Zhaoxiong recognized Pei Qin, dressed in lighter clothes, at first sight.
Pei Qin looked at his large, bearded face, robust and imposing, his martial presence undeniable, and gave a clasped-fist salute, "Leader of Bang Gang! I’ve long admired your name! The transport operations have been unstable for over a decade, and it was with you that it finally developed to today’s scale, truly admirable!"
