Chapter 1375: Chapter 991: Poison Doctor Unrivaled 52 (Four Thousand) (Part 2)
"This fruit wine has a nice taste, sweet and not too strong, quite pleasant."
Shui Yixuan was about to remind her that the wine had a strong aftereffect, but then he thought, tonight is their wedding night, she can’t possibly refuse him, right?
With such a beautiful woman right here, and not being able to do anything but look, he’s no Liu Xia Hui, he can’t just sit by idly. So as he took a deep breath, planning to sit next to her and drink together, she opened her drowsy eyes and wagged her finger at him.
"You sleep downstairs tonight, I’m not sleeping with you. I’m still young, you have to let me grow up more. You said so yourself before, if you go back on your word, I’ll tell my brother you bullied me! I’m still a girl today, if I turn into a woman tomorrow, be careful or I’ll curse you to be impotent like Beiming Yi, hiccup~~~"
"You’ve had too much to drink, the wine has quite a kick. Apparently, you can’t hold your liquor very well; your face is already this red? Wake up, hey, Xiao Xue? Wake up, if you don’t stay awake, I might take advantage of you, and you wouldn’t even know!"
Looking at the untouched food on the table, Shui Yixuan felt a bit hungry himself. He had to first take off Jiang Xue’s outer clothes, put her on the bed, and then returned to the Eight Immortals table to fill his stomach before instructing the servants to clear the feast.
With members of the Shui Clan guarding the courtyard, no one dared to play pranks on their wedding night. However, his wife’s pre-sleep threats were not something he could just laugh off.
If he couldn’t resist and ended up like Beiming Yi the next day, it would be better not to start in the first place. If he started but couldn’t stop, it would be even harder to control.
After some contemplation, Shui Yixuan could only sigh, strip her down to her immodest clothes and underwear, force himself to look away, and cover her with a quilt. He definitely couldn’t lie next to her; it would be too torturous. Decisively, he found some bedding, laid it under her bed, and although he thought he wouldn’t be able to sleep, he fell asleep almost immediately after lying down.
That night, both husband and wife slept very soundly. The next morning, Jiang Xue was woken by the sound of barking. As she rubbed her drowsy eyes and looked around, she found herself alone in the room. The joyful decor instantly brought her back to her senses. She lifted the quilt to see that she was still dressed, felt around to see nothing was amiss, so Shui Yixuan was quite the gentleman and didn’t touch her?
Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief and dressed herself from the wardrobe. Presumably, the sound inside attracted the attention of Zi Su, who came in with the maid after knocking: "Young Mistress, you’re awake?"
"Mm, come in, where is your Young Master?"
"The Young Master went to see off King Han, Your Highness."
Jiang Xue peeked out from behind the screen: "My brother is leaving? So soon? Without saying a word? How about cousin and cousin-in-law?"
"His Highness King Han said he had urgent matters to attend to, and the cousins went with him. They said they would visit you again in a while, so they didn’t bid farewell."
"How long have they been gone?"
"About an hour. The Young Master will probably be back soon."
Jiang Xue pouted, a bit displeased: "In and out in such a rush,"
They didn’t even leave time for a proper goodbye, were they afraid of her embarrassment? (They must have misunderstood...)
Once Jiang Xue finished changing, she styled her hair like a married woman, acknowledging she was now one of them. No expectations, just awkwardness.
The benefit of marrying into Jianghu people is not having to perform morning and evening greetings or go to the palace to see the emperor, because last night the whole family returned to Wind Valley.
It was probably to not disturb the young couple, so even Murong Han and the elders gave them enough private space.
"Woof... woof," the barking that woke her this morning, instinctively she asked: "Where’s that barking coming from?"
Zi Su smiled and responded: "The Young Master brought you a little white lion dog, not sure if you like it. It’s tied up in the courtyard now!"
Lion dog?
Curious, she went outside and indeed saw a little white lion dog tied under the porch, as white as a snowball and quite cute.
Dogs are interesting as long as she doesn’t have to take care of them, occasionally petting and playing for a bit is entertaining. But she only squatted by the porch to tease it a while before losing interest.
