Chapter 38 Awkward Wedding

The bridal sedan chair arrived at the entrance of the Anding Marquis’s mansion.

Drums and gongs sounded together, and festive firecrackers resounded. In order to show his sincerity to the third son of Anding Marquis family with a stiff upper lip, organized this wedding.

Zhao Qing Qing wore a bright red wedding gown and Shaoyu escorted the bride out.

Suddenly, among the crowd of onlookers, someone threw a rotten egg, followed by various rotten vegetables and more eggs, aiming at the groom and bride.

The trumpet sound stopped instantly, and the trumpeters were all stunned, encountering such a situation for the first time at work!

An Shaoyu and Zhao Qing Qing hurriedly stepped back to avoid the projectiles.

It took a while for the people at the Anding Marquis’s family to react, then the Anding Marquis angrily shouted, “Guards, quickly arrest these troublemakers who are disrupting the wedding!”

The steward quickly led the men out.

Ning Shizi walked out of the crowd and stood in front of the steward and others, smiling, “Oh, why are you so angry! This is the most interesting wedding I’ve ever seen. Let me watch a little longer!”

“Hahaha…”

Chen Gongzi couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this, and also came out saying, “Perhaps this is the people’s special blessing for them!”

“Hahaha…”

Looking at these two dandies, felt Mr. Hou blood boiling, but these two were people he couldn’t afford to offend, so he coldly said, “Gentlemen, today is a joyous day for my Son. Don’t force me to take action!”

“Alright, alright, we won’t watch if you don’t want us to.”

Ning Shizi tactfully stepped aside, but by this time, the people who had thrown things had already slipped away into the crowd.

“I hope this has nothing to do with you two!” Mr. Hou looked at Ning Shizi and Chen Gongzi suspiciously.

Chen Gongzi couldn’t help but shout, “Mr. Hou, what do you mean by this? We don’t have the time to meddle in your family’s affairs. My brother and I just came to join in the fun. Don’t splash dirty water on us!”

Ning Shizi also added, “Exactly, maybe it’s because your son is immoral and corrupt, and the people can’t stand it…”

“You!!”

“Ning Shizi, mind your words!” The Mr. Hou was furious.

“Who let you slander us first!”

More and more spectators gathered to watch the show. The Anding Marquis knew it was not the time to argue, so he ignored the two and said, “Clean up for the newlyweds, let the wedding continue.”

The wedding had turned into such a mess that even Mr. Hou, who had barely managed to muster some joy, couldn’t show it anymore.

An Shaoyu and Zhao Qing Qing were trembling with anger.

Zhao Qing Qing clenched her sleeves, resisting the urge to lift the veil and scold these people, and followed An Shaoyu into the mansion.

The suona started playing again, but the rhythm always felt less organized than before.

…

“This old man actually blamed us for this mess! Doesn’t he see how easygoing I am?” Chen Gongzi muttered as he walked.

Ning Shizi touched his nose and remained silent.

Chen Gongzi nudged Ning Shizi’s arm, “Hey, who do you think is so shameless to come and throw rotten eggs at people during their wedding? Could it be someone from the Shu family?”

“Who’s shameless!” Ning Shizi was furious.

“If anyone’s shameless, it’s the people from the Anding Marquis’s family!”

“The Shu family had a fine lady, but she married that useless wimp. Not only does An Shaoyu enjoy himself, but he also insisted on divorcing her when she was pregnant. It’s not excessive to throw rotten eggs at him every day!”

Seeing Ning Shizi so agitated, Chen Gongzi quickly agreed, “You’re right, even the two of us couldn’t pull off something like this!”

“You’re talking about yourself, don’t drag me into it…”

“It definitely wouldn’t be someone from the Shu family. Miss Shu is straightforward; she would have divorced that useless wimp long ago. She wouldn’t come to cause trouble now!” Ning Shizi said decisively.

“Then who could it be?”

Ning Shizi’s eyes were firm as he said, “It’s definitely the spontaneous actions of the people who can’t stand that family!”

“Huh?”

Ning Shizi tapped Chen Gongzi’s head, “What’s with the ‘huh,’ the Crown banquet is about to start, let’s hurry.”

…

“Your Highness, don’t you dislike banquets the most? Why are you hosting this poetry competition banquet today?”

“It’s just too boring.” The Crown Prince answered casually.

Since the Crown Prince didn’t want to talk about it, Shu Yuyang stopped asking.

Although they didn’t know why the Crown Prince was hosting this banquet, the timing of the banquet was just right.

An Shaoyu happened to marry Zhao Qing Qing today, and with the Crown Prince’s banquet, even fewer people went for the wedding banquet.

At the Anding Marquis’s mansion.

There were indeed not many guests.

This wedding was already undignified, and few families agreed to come. Those who responded to the wedding invitations were close relatives of the mansion. With the Crown Prince’s banquet, even the younger relatives of the family went to attend the Crown Prince’s banquet. Only a few elders remained, and after the commotion at the entrance with the bridal sedan chair, some more people left. The entire hall was now quite deserted…

Madam Wei sat at the head, her face dark, not looking like someone welcoming a new daughter-in-law. She couldn’t be bothered with the wedding banquet.

The wedding proceeded in this awkward atmosphere.

In the end, not even the people who usually play pranks on the newlyweds showed up.

An Shaoyu went to accompany the guests outside, but returned shortly after.

After everyone had left, Zhao Qing Qing removed her veil, pulled An Shaoyu, and started crying, “An Shaoyu, this is too much, wuwuwu…”

An Shaoyu, who was already in a bad mood, had to reluctantly control his emotions to comfort Zhao Qing Qing, “Alright, Zhao Qing Qing, no matter what, we are now officially together.”

Thinking about this, Zhao Qing Qing’s mood eased a bit.

But she still couldn’t let go of her anger and gritted her teeth, “Today’s events must have been orchestrated by Shu Yuwan woman!”

“I won’t let her get away with this!”

An Shaoyu had some doubts, “Although no one other than the Shu family would cause trouble at our wedding, this doesn’t seem like the style of the Shu family, nor something Shu Yuwan would do.”

Zhao Qing Qing pushed An Shaoyu away forcefully, “What? are you trying to protect that woman?”

“Last time we went to confront her for an explanation, she didn’t hesitate to hit you. Isn’t that barbaric and unreasonable! I think it’s her!”

An Shaoyu quickly pulled Zhao Qing Qing back, “What you’re saying makes sense.”

“Why would I protect her? I only love you, and you know that. Otherwise, why would I divorce her and marry you?”

Thinking about all that An Shaoyu had done for her, Zhao Qing Qing finally felt relieved.

…

On Shu Yuwan’s side, Qing Dai enthusiastically recounted the events at the entrance of the Anding Marquis’s mansion to Shu Yuyang and the maids in the courtyard, vividly describing everything.

Shu Yuyang couldn’t help but chuckle, “Who’s so kind to go cause trouble for them?”
