Chapter 429: Fighting for favor, don't go if you meet a tough guy
The two families quickly settled the marriage and chose an auspicious day for the wedding. On the day of the wedding, the Shen family also brought the bride into the house in a grand sedan chair. It was a lively and exciting event. Soon, the news that Lord Shen had remarried spread throughout the capital. Some people even went to the Duke's Mansion to spread the news. Chen Shuhua felt that the vows they had made before were extremely ironic. It had only been less than two months since the divorce, and he was already remarrying. Haha, she felt that divorce was the right choice.
On Shen Wenting's wedding night, Ru Niang was extremely angry. In the past, she didn't see it when she was in the mansion, so she didn't think it was a big deal. But today, she watched him go to another woman's room with her own eyes, and she felt very uncomfortable. She had waited for more than ten years to get the position of a concubine, and she thought that there was a long time to come, and she would be able to sit in that position sooner or later. Unexpectedly, he had already married a new wife within a few days after returning home. She thought of a way to dampen the arrogance of the new lady on the wedding night.
As soon as Shen Wenting entered the bridal chamber, Chan'er, the maidservant beside Runiang, came to report: "Master, something bad has happened. Aunt Ru has suddenly fallen ill. You should go and see her!"
"What? How could this happen! Come on, take me over to see." Shen Wenting and Runiang have been together for so many years, so they still have some emotional foundation. When he heard that she was not feeling well, he subconsciously wanted to run away.
Yan Huan heard everything clearly, and directly lifted the veil and walked in front of Shen Wenting. His face was gentle, but his eyes revealed a fierce force: "Stop! Where are you going, Master?!"
Only then did Shen Wenting see her appearance clearly. Yan Huan, who was wearing a red wedding dress, had an oval face and fair skin with a faint blush. Under her curved eyebrows, her pair of almond-shaped eyes shone with a fierce light, as if she could see through people at a glance.
"Madam, why did you lift the veil? Put it back on quickly. Aunt Ru is not feeling well. I will go see her and come back soon." Shen Wenting was very satisfied with the appearance of the newlywed woman in front of him. Although she looked a little immature compared to Aunt Ru, as he got older, he liked to do something different.
"Master, if Aunt Ru is not feeling well, why don't you ask a doctor to come over and take a look? You are not a doctor, and there is nothing you can do if you go over. Aunt Ru clearly knows that today is our happy day, but she deliberately let the maid come here to ruin it. I don't know what her intention is." Yan Huan restrained the look in her eyes and said coquettishly while holding Shen Wenting's arm.
"Madam, what you said makes sense..."
"Master, Aunt Ru is really seriously ill, you should go over and take a look!" Chan'er shouted anxiously.
"Madam, how about I go over to take a look? I promise that I will be back soon and will never delay our wedding night." Shen Wenting was still a little worried and planned to go over to take a look.
"You are not allowed to go!" You want to cause trouble on my wedding night? No way! Yan Huan looked at Chan'er fiercely: "You are such an interesting maid. When your master is sick, you didn't run to call the doctor first, but ran to us to call the master. Is there no doctor in the mansion?! Nanny, accompany this girl to see Aunt Ru." She ordered coldly.
"Yes, ma'am!" The wet nurse beside her looked at her and nodded in response.
"I was anxious for the moment and lost my composure. I just wanted the master to go over and see my aunt. I didn't think much about anything else. Please forgive me, master and madam." Chan'er didn't expect that the newlywed lady would be so powerful. She was panicked for a moment.
"Madam, this maid is also worried about Aunt Ru, so please don't bother with her." Shen Wenting stood aside and pleaded.
"Master is right. I asked the nurse to go over and take a look at her because she is loyal to the Lord. Don't underestimate my nurse. She is proficient in medicine and has been taking care of her by my side since she was a child. Don't worry."
"In that case, let Madam's wet nurse go with you!" Shen Wenting ordered.
"Master, but..." Chan'er bit her lip.
"But what? Go quickly!" Shen Wenting snorted coldly.
Chan'er had no choice but to agree and took Yan Huan's wet nurse to Aunt Ru's courtyard.
After everyone left, Yan Huan glanced at Shen Wenting, blushing a little, and said, "Master, today is our wedding night, but don't let these irrelevant things ruin our mood. The night is short, let's change clothes and rest early!"
Shen Wenting looked at Yan Huan's shy appearance, and the annoyance in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot. He walked forward, gently held Yan Huan's hand, and said, "Madam, please don't blame me. I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."
Yan Huan shook her head slightly and said coquettishly: "As long as the master has me in his heart, this little grievance is nothing."
Shen Wenting smiled slightly, hugged Yan Huan into his arms, and said softly: "Madam, don't worry, I will protect you from now on."
After that, the two walked hand in hand to the bedside. The flickering red candles illuminated the figures of the two people leaning on each other.
Yan Huan leaned lightly in Shen Wenting's arms, feeling his warmth. Shen Wenting gently undressed Yan Huan. Yan Huan's face flushed even more. The curtains fell, and candlelight shone through the gaps. The room was filled with sweetness and warmth.
Like my aunt's yard.
She waited in the room for a long time, but no one came back. She couldn't help but become worried. She lay on the bed with a pale face and beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Aunt." Chan'er's voice sounded outside.
The door was pushed open with a creaky sound. She waited happily for Shen Wenting to come over, thinking that he still cared about her. She climbed up from the bed, looking delicate and pitiful.
"Master..." But when she got up, she did not see Shen Wenting, only Chan'er and a maid, with visibly disappointed looks in their eyes.
"Aunt Ru, I am the Madam's wet nurse, and I know a little about medicine. Madam heard that you had a sudden illness, so she asked me to see you." The wet nurse had heard that the wealthy families had many tricks and schemes behind the scenes. She was prepared for this matter. Before coming, she had asked someone to inquire about Ru Niang. She knew that she was at least kept by Shen Wenting outside. Today was her young lady's wedding night. With her here, this mistress would never be able to snatch her young lady away.
"That's troublesome." Runiang and Chan'er looked at each other and spoke weakly.
"Auntie, please stretch out your hand." The wet nurse asked her to stretch out her hand and began to examine her. Her pulse was irregular and her face was pale. She looked really sick, but the wet nurse remained calm.
"What's wrong?" In order to avoid people noticing anything, Runiang pretended to be serious and took the medicine she got from outside. After taking the medicine, she felt like she was really sick, with pain all over her body and slight damage to her body, but she would be fine after the effect of the medicine wore off.
"It's nothing. Auntie has caught a cold. Let me give you two injections. I guarantee that the disease will be cured." The wet nurse took out a silver needle from the box she carried with her.
