Chapter 11 [Rebirth Side Story] End The Third Wedding Night...

Jiang Shangyi questioned Jiang He about whether Xue Lingyu was really pregnant with Jiang He's child. She learned that her daughter had not done anything to impregnate a respectable man. The pregnancy was likely an excuse Xue Lingyu came up with to deceive Xue Lingyi in order to marry Jiang He.

After all, if Xue Lingyu hadn't been pregnant with Jiang He's child, Xue Lingyi wouldn't have agreed to the marriage so quickly.

For the Jiang family, a marriage alliance with the Xue family was considered a step up, so they would naturally organize the wedding properly. The Jiang family had no shortage of money. Even though they had given away most of the Jiang family as betrothal gifts, Jiang Shangyi still had some savings. Besides, as long as she was alive, she wouldn't have to worry about earning it back.

Jiang's parents were very satisfied with their daughter-in-law, who came from a good family and was beautiful. Jiang's father was also from an official family, and he lived a good life after marrying into a merchant family. Naturally, the Jiang family would not mistreat Xue Lingyu.

Xue Lingyu finished embroidering the wedding dress in less than half a month. Xue Lingyi was even more anxious than him, hoping that he would marry into the family as soon as possible so that her future granddaughter could have a legitimate birth.

At that time, His Majesty had just ascended the throne, and the Imperial Physician was in good health. His only grand-nephew was getting married, and he personally condescended to attend the ceremony at the Jiang residence.

Su Yawan was busy preparing for her exams in two months when she learned of her friend's marriage. That's why she took a day to come and offer her congratulations. Although she came from a poor family, she was of good character and appearance. She also got along well with Jiang He. She had always received financial support from the Jiang family and was well-off, so she only needed to focus on preparing for her exams.

Jiang He was dressed in a red auspicious robe. The entire Jiang family was waiting for the bridal sedan chair to bring the groom back. The Grand Tutor was seated in a position second only to the head of the hall. His jade-like hands held a cup of tea, and his clear, narrow eyes showed no emotion. He was simply an aloof and untouchable beauty.

Su Yawan couldn't help but whisper to Jiang He, "So the Imperial Physician is so young. I thought he was an old man."

To be honest, the doctor is really good-looking. Su Yawan's gaze was unconsciously drawn to him. She couldn't help but think that a person as beautiful as this must have come from heaven. Otherwise, how could he be like a seductive fairy?

Su Yawan immediately stopped thinking and kept telling herself that this was the current Grand Tutor, the Emperor's father. How could she possibly dare to offend him?

"The Imperial Physician is only a few years older than His Majesty, and the two are not biological father and daughter," Jiang He explained to Su Yawan in a low voice, then said with a touch of melancholy, "To tell you the truth, His Majesty has summoned my brother to the palace to serve him."

The Jiang family originally did not have any quota for the imperial concubine selection, and it was not yet time for the selection. However, the Emperor Wei made an exception and specifically requested that the eldest son of the Jiang family enter the palace. The elder brother was in poor health and wanted to refuse, but the Emperor Wei insisted. For the sake of the family, the elder brother had no choice but to enter the palace. He would enter the palace after his marriage.

"What? Everyone says the palace is a den of monsters, how can Brother Wanyi go there?" Su Yawan became anxious, her voice rising uncontrollably, "We absolutely cannot let him go!"

However, the imperial decree was difficult to disobey, and the Jiang family had no power to resist.

Just as Su Yawan was about to get excited, she was interrupted by a calm male voice.

"Noisy".

Xue Taifu propped his cheek up with his hand, casually leaned back in his chair, raised his fox-like eyes, and looked at Su Yawan indifferently. The two words that came out of his thin lips were so melodious.

Su Yawan blushed immediately, shut her mouth, and stepped aside.

Her actions were indeed somewhat reckless, and she had offended a respected person.

Xue Taifu didn't take this junior seriously at all. Today was the wedding day of his nephew, and he wouldn't easily pursue anyone's fault.

The bridal sedan chair that was supposed to pick up the groom finally arrived before the auspicious hour. Jiang He was like a young girl who hadn't quite grown up yet, clumsy and unsure whether to lift the curtain of the sedan chair or talk to Xue Lingyu first.

"Idiot, you have to lift the curtain first." The person inside seemed to read her mind, speaking with a clear smile.

Jiang He obediently did as she was told, leading Xue Lingyu out of the bridal sedan chair. The two of them held a piece of red silk together and stepped into the Jiang residence.

During the third bow, Xue Lingyu felt as if he had been transported to another world. He remembered that when he married Jiang He in his previous life, she was already a mature and steady young master of the Jiang family who could stand on her own. Now, she was a young girl whose joy was always on her face, and she would even sweat nervously when she held his hand.

Those who came to witness the ceremony also had faces that were much more youthful than in their previous lives.

More importantly, there was no longer any barrier between him and Jiang He; her innocent and carefree nature was not extinguished by his mistakes.

After the ceremony, Xue Lingyu was led to the bridal chamber. This time, a pleasing-looking young servant led the way. He almost blurted out Xin Yan's name, but then he thought that Xin Yan should still be at home in the countryside and had not been forced to sell herself in the city because of her mother's death.

Now that he has married Jiang He, there is no chance that the maid named Yang Tao can become Jiang He's concubine. Xue Lingyu made up her mind to get rid of those unruly maids no matter what.

He is the rightful young master of the Jiang family. Before he entered the family, his father promised that he would take care of the Jiang family's internal affairs.

Jiang He accidentally drank too much alcohol and was really drunk this time. Her steps became unsteady. Su Yawan took a lot of drinks for her, but they were all hot-blooded young men who got excited easily and eventually even Su Yawan got drunk.

Jiang He was finally helped into the bridal chamber by the servants. Before Xue Lingyu could even take down his fan, she snatched it from him, hugged him, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Whose young master is this? Oh, he's mine."

She kept laughing as she talked.

Xue Lingyu smelled the alcohol on her and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you drink so much?"

Jiang He's face was flushed with drunkenness, and she squinted her eyes as she said, "I'm just happy."

She slowly opened her eyes and saw Xue Lingyu wearing a red wedding dress, with a red dot between his eyebrows, indicating that he was still a virgin.

Xue's parents knew before his marriage that Xue Lingyu was not pregnant, but since it was a choice their son truly loved and insisted on making, they had to support him. Besides, Xue Lingyu had already convinced those old fogies in the Ministry of Rites to stay away from her.

Xue Lingyu had dressed up carefully today, applying lip rouge, which made him look even more radiant. There was also a dot of virginity mark on his lotus-like arm, which could be seen as soon as he raised it slightly. Jiang He felt that there was a lot of red in front of her eyes, and her eyes were a little sore.

Finally, she simply cupped Xue Lingyu's face in her hands, stared at his picturesque features, and chuckled sweetly, "Thank goodness, thank goodness I married you."

Jiang He's joy was short-lived; she frowned and anxiously asked Xue Lingyu, "You told your parents that you're pregnant with my child, but there's nothing in your belly. What should we do?"

Xue Lingyu buried her face in her neck and whispered, "Just because it's not there now doesn't mean it won't be in the future."

According to fate, he should have two children with Jiang He. I wonder if they will have Mian'er and Xi'er one after the other, just like in his previous life.

Jiang He agreed, and was thus appeased by Xue Lingyu's simple words. She rubbed her aching brow bone, pulled Xue Lingyu into her arms, and told him to sit on her lap.

Although she had read some pamphlets before the wedding, she was so nervous at the moment that she didn't know what to do. Actually, she felt very comfortable just holding Xue Lingyu like this.

Jiang He gritted her teeth, then finally pinched Xue Lingyu's chin with her hand, slowly leaned in, and placed a light kiss on his thin lips.

Before Xue Lingyu even realized it, Jiang He had moved away.

She was caught in a dilemma, and finally, holding Xue Lingyu's hand, her voice trembled slightly, afraid that he wouldn't like it.

"It might hurt a little. If you don't like it, let's just lie here. You're exhausted today anyway, so why don't we..."

Xue Lingyu suddenly sealed her lips with his, swallowing the rest of her words, hugging her neck tightly and refusing to let go, even biting her once.

Since Jiang He is so shy, it wouldn't hurt for him to take the initiative. Besides, he's the one who's in pain, so why does Jiang He look like she's about to cry?

This was his third wedding night with Jiang He. In all his future lives, he was destined to be entangled with her, inseparable.

Before entering the bridal chamber, Jiang He instructed the servants to send Su Yawan back. She had her own residence in the capital, which was somewhat simple, but she lived there very comfortably. Even after she became the top scholar in the imperial examination and was granted a high-ranking official position, she did not move out.

Su Yawan insisted that she could walk steadily and forced the servants of the Jiang family to go back. The servants could not persuade her otherwise and had no choice but to obey.

The moonlight pressed down like dark clouds, so dark that one couldn't see their own hand in front of their face. Su Yawan could only vaguely make out the road ahead by feeling.

In that instant, she looked as if she had seen a beauty stepping out of a painting, dressed in purple, aloof and stunning.

Su Yawan felt that this must be a dream, so she couldn't help but stare at it intently.

Her gaze was far too audacious, but Xue Taifu showed no expression or anger. He lowered the carriage curtain and ordered the driver to return to the palace immediately.

The servant beside him then introduced, "Doctor, this is Su Yawan, a good friend of the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. She is a scholar with official rank."

Xue Taifu recalled Su Yawan's slightly immature face and snorted casually, "What's a mere candidate? Only those who can win the top three spots can be considered truly capable."

Such a person is not enough to catch his eye.
