FID – Chapter 793

Chapter 793 — I’ll be waiting to call you Soft Jade Stone someday

The tenth day of the sixth month arrived in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the Liu family’s courtyard was bustling with people and lively beyond measure.

The villagers had come early to help set up the wedding banquet, slaughtering chickens and preparing sheep.

Children ran all over the courtyard, their cheerful chatter filling every corner.

The groom had long since changed into his wedding robes, radiating happiness. He had always been fond of smiling, and today not once did his smile fade.

The bride, at that moment, was still in the room where she usually stayed, accompanied by Liu Yusheng, Fu Yuzheng, and Liu Muqiu. This was also to be the new bridal chamber for Wei Hong and Wei Lan.

Originally, the family had planned for the couple to move into the second courtyard, but both of them had declined.

Though the Liu family treated them as one of their own, they had never forgotten that their duty in the Liu household was to protect the family.

Even though they had been granted the prince’s favor and were allowed to return to ordinary life, they still saw themselves as the guardians of this household.

That conviction would never change.

Qian Wanjin and Shi Xianrou arrived just in time, making it before the bride and groom bowed to the elders.

As soon as they entered, they rushed straight to the main hall, managing to make it just in time.

During the bowing ceremony, the ones seated at the head were Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu. After that, Wei Hong and Wei Lan also offered their bows in thanks to Feng Qingbai.

“I owe this to Master’s favor. From now on, I will consider myself a true member of the Liu family. As long as Wei Hong and I are here, the Liu family courtyard will never fall into disrepair!” Wei Lan, having shed his usual playful demeanor, solemnly pledged.

“Wei Hong promises the same. We also thank Master for your favor!”

Feng Qingbai took out a brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to the two of them. The gift wasn’t gold, silver, or jade, but two tokens from the King’s Manor. “Hold onto your original intentions, and you will see things through. You two have been loyal to one command for over ten years, never seeking honor or glory. That is rare. This is a reward for you both. Even after you leave the ranks, you will still be considered part of the King’s Manor.”

“Thank you, Master!” Wei Lan and Wei Hong respectfully received the brocade box, their eyes filled with gratitude.

This was the King’s protection for them.

Even if they left the King of Nanling’s Manor, they would not be without support. The King would always be their backing.

In the various corners of the main hall, the sound of swords being drawn and sheathed could be heard, blending into the noise of the crowd, only those with advanced cultivation could distinguish it clearly.

Wei Lan and Wei Hong exchanged a glance and smiled, subtly scanning the dark corners around them.

Those were their comrades-in-arms, who were silently congratulating them.

After the three bows, Wei Lan directly picked up Wei Hong, carrying him back to their bridal chamber.

The surrounding guests burst into loud laughter, and the mischievous children even clapped their hands and cheered, “He hasn’t even reached the bridal chamber and he’s already carrying the bride. Shame on you, Uncle Lan!”

“You little rascals, let me tell you, this is how a man loves his wife. You should learn from me, or else no girl will want you in the future!” Wei Lan boasted shamelessly.

The laughter grew even louder.

In the main hall, Qian Wanjin watched Wei Lan’s proud figure with envy and jealousy, “Uncle Lan has had his wish fulfilled, look how smug he is. Brothers, tonight we’re going to mess up the bridal chamber, anyone who holds back isn’t man enough!”

He regretted not being able to create a scene during Nannan’s wedding to mess with Feng Qingbai, considering it a lifelong regret.

Since Uncle Lan and Aunt Hong were Feng Qingbai’s subordinates, it was only right to double the trouble at their wedding.

Feng Qingbai glanced at him, the corners of his lips curling into a mysterious smile, making Qian Wanjin wary. “Feng Qingbai, why are you smiling like that?”

The man didn’t answer. Just as Qian Wanjin was about to ask again, Shi Xianrou grabbed his arm, “Xiao Jinzi, Uncle Lan and Aunt Hong are masters. If you try to mess with their bridal chamber, we’ll be beaten to a pulp before we even get close.”

“You can’t stop them all?”

“I can stop one, but not a whole gang.” Shi Xianrou’s eyes subtly swept around the room.

Qian Wanjin immediately understood.

A drop of cold sweat trickled down from Qian Wanjin’s forehead.

“Are you still going to cause trouble at the bridal chamber?” Feng Qingbai asked with a smile.

“What are we causing trouble for? Uncle Lan and Aunt Hong are at an age where they’ve finally found happiness, and we go and mess it up? That would be heartless! Come on, let’s drink!”

Laughter erupted from the whole table.

In the courtyard, the wedding banquet officially began.

The villagers were used to speaking loudly, and with a joyful occasion, they didn’t hold back, filling the whole courtyard with noise and chatter.

As night fell and the last wave of guests was sent off, the elders retired to their rooms. In the courtyard, a few figures moved stealthily, crouching close to the bridal chamber.

“Are we really going over there?” Qian Wanjin asked, feeling uneasy. He had been reminded by Xiao Shi earlier in the day, and now he couldn’t shake the feeling that countless eyes were watching him.

At any moment, hidden weapons could come flying from every direction.

After all, this was the Shadow Guard Battalion, and the Shadow Guards were known for being protective of their own.

Liu Zhiqiu rolled his eyes at his cowardice. “Do you usually have the courage of a tiger or has it been eaten by a dog? We’re not causing trouble at the bridal chamber, just listening by the wall. Why are you so scared? If you’re too scared, just go back. Go, go, go!”

“Who doesn’t have the courage? Let’s go, we’re going!”

In another corner, Shi Xianrou was quietly pulling Liu Yusheng and Liu Muqiu forward.

The bridal chamber on the wedding night—there was so much fun to be had, so many interesting things to listen to.

Liu Muqiu’s heart was racing, both shy and excited. “Xianrou, Nannan, are we really going to listen?”

“Why not? I’ve set my marriage with Xiao Jinzi, we’re getting married next year. When I was in the military, I heard plenty of dirty jokes, but never live. If I don’t learn, how will I handle things on the wedding night? Let’s go!”

Liu Yusheng stopped them, “How about you two go and listen? I’ve already married, I’ve had my fill, and there’s no need for me to join in on the fun. If Feng Qingbai finds out, I might not be able to get out of bed for three days.”

She shivered. 

Hiss! The idea of it sent a chill down her spine, and she was even more inclined to back out.

Shi Xianrou turned back and squinted at her. “Are we not good sisters? You can back out now, but only if you teach us a thing or two. Otherwise, I’ll let you off the hook.”

Liu Yusheng blushed. What? Teach you? How can you talk about something like that?

“Well, Xianrou, I only have one piece of advice for you: On the bridal night, just be obedient. Don’t think about being the one on top. Men and women have different physical strengths. You’re skilled, but when it comes to that, things might not be so simple.”

Shi Xianrou laughed. “You don’t believe me, huh? Who do you think I am? I’m the famous Young Master Shi in the military camp! A real man! If I can’t handle Xiao Jinzi, then I’ll have my name read backward!”

Liu Yusheng nodded. “I’ll be waiting for the day when I call you ‘Rouxian Shi.'”

Bang! A sound of collision came from the bridal chamber, followed by a soft, suppressed gasp.

Shi Xianrou’s eyes lit up instantly, her excitement clear. “Quick, quick! The show’s starting!”

Even Liu Muqiu, who had been reserved just a moment ago, blushed deeply and quickly crept forward, crouching low as she moved quickly.

Liu Yusheng rubbed her forehead. Should she listen or not?

If she didn’t listen, her curiosity would itch. But if she did listen, she’d be nervous and uneasy.

She was afraid of Feng Qingbai!

“Nannan, are you coming or not? The moon is still overhead, and Feng Qingbai isn’t going back to his room that fast. Hurry up!”

Clenching her jaw, Liu Yusheng couldn’t hold back her curiosity any longer and moved forward.

But she couldn’t move any further; something had caught the back of her collar.

Stiffly, she turned her head and came face to face with the man’s calm and elegant face, a faint smile curling on his lips in the dim moonlight.

Liu Yusheng sat down abruptly, her legs going weak.
