Su Anan let out a deep sigh.

After being reborn, how could she not see that her father had beaten Su Pingping so ruthlessly and made her cry so much because he had the intention of beating her up?

He wanted her to obediently get married and give up all her thoughts. Otherwise, Su Pingping’s pain today would be the same for her in the future.

After all, the Su Family did not lack daughters and she had a bunch of step-sisters.

When the auspicious time came, Su Anan gathered her thoughts and bowed to him.

Su Sheng reminded her to take good care of Young Master Shen when she reached her husband’s house, and then sent her out.

Su Anan lowered her head and said “yes”. She was as obedient as she used to be.

Su Sheng nodded in satisfaction.

It was not the groom who welcomed the bride, but his attendants.

The Su Family understood the health condition of the groom and expressed their understanding. Su Anan got on the wedding sedan amidst the cheerful songs and all kinds of lively discussions.

The wedding sedan set off, and soon, they were out of the bustling area of Luo City.

Su Anan lifted the curtain and took a look at the green, then put down the curtain and put on the veil. She thought of the rumors about the eldest son of the Shen Family.

She had never met him before, but she knew that the eldest young master of the Shen Family was called Shen Juncheng. His parents died at the age of eight, and he unfortunately suffered from an eye disease. Because he was not cured in time, he could not see and his body became weaker and weaker. When he was nine, he took the initiative to ask to go to the countryside to recuperate. This recuperation lasted for ten years.

The Shen Family also seemed to have forgotten him during the ten years.

It was only when he became seriously ill that bad news came. In order to show that they had always cared about him, the second branch’s mistress, Liu Shi, who was also his aunt, hurriedly got him married and named it Chong Xi.

Su Anan was the one chosen by Mrs. Liu.

In her previous life, she had thought of herself as a noble and virtuous person. Naturally, she was unwilling to let others manipulate her fate, which resulted in her ending. She hoped that in this life…

Cough, cough, cough…

Su Anan’s thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a light cough. She came back to her senses and found that they had almost reached the front hall after getting off the wedding sedan.

She gathered her thoughts, put her hands together, and walked over in a dignified manner.

As the distance between them closed, the coughing sound became more obvious.

One call after the other, the servant girl’s nervous voice could be faintly heard.”Young Master, Young Master, are you alright?”

The young master coughed for a long time before he covered his mouth with his handkerchief and said, “It’s nothing. Don’t panic.”

His voice was sickly and weak, but surprisingly, it had a clear sense of youth.

Su Anan was surprised. She peeked at the person in front of her through the gap under her veil.

His red silk pants were tightly tied into his boots and the red shirt on both sides lightly swayed as he walked, showing off a pair of slender legs.

Her line of sight moved up to the waist. There were no complicated patterns on the waist seal. It was pure red and there was an inscription pendant hanging on it. It did not look shabby, but surprisingly gave off a simple and neat feeling.

If she went any higher, she would be restricted by the veil and be unable to see anything clearly.

However, she could feel that he should be quite tall.

Su Anan looked away and stood still.

When the couple was in position, the emcee stepped forward immediately. He was holding the red silk, handing one end to Su Anan and the other end to the groom. When they were about to start the wedding ceremony, the groom coughed again.

The magnificently dressed madam sitting in the high hall said with concern,”Cheng’er, are you alright? Do you want to take a rest and stop the ceremony for now?”

“I’m really fine, Aunty. Don’t worry. Let’s hurry up and do the ceremony. We don’t want to miss the auspicious time,” the groom said gently.

The lady replied, “Well, alright. You can go back and rest immediately after the ceremony. Nanny Li will take care of the matters outside. You can rest assured.”

The groom acquiesced with a warm voice.

The emcee immediately started the ceremony and directed them to bow to heaven and earth…

After that was a bow to the parents…

Cough-cough, cough-cough!

The groom suddenly clutched his chest and coughed violently again. This time, he coughed fiercely, unlike the previous suppressed coughs. This scared the surrounding people.

“Oh no, the Young Master is sick again. Go and get the Young Master’s pills.”

“Go and get some more autumn pear water, hurry.”

The maidservants were flustered. The madam, who was sitting in the hall, wailed, “Cheng ‘er, Cheng’er, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare your aunt.”

“Someone, quickly go and get a doctor.”

“No, there’s no need to call a doctor,” the groom said reluctantly. “It’s just an old illness. After taking the medicine… Cough, cough… It’ll be fine… Cough, cough…”

The madam’s eyes darted around and she put on a worried look. “No, Cheng’er, you’ve been coughing for too long and you don’t seem to be getting better. I’m really worried. It’s best to get you a doctor.”

She turned her head and chided the maidservant beside her, “Are you all blind? Can’t you see that the Young Master is in such a terrible state? Hurry up and bring my most trusted Doctor Lu here.”

She gave her a look and the maidservant accepted the order and disappeared in a flash.

The groom seemed to want to stop them, but he was powerless. He had barely taken a step when he started coughing violently again.

The maid servants were in a mess again. They brought water, patted him on the back, and even the guests came over to show their concern. They came and went, making the whole affair as chaotic as a pot of porridge.

Su Anan was accidentally knocked over by a guest and her veil was lifted. She quickly reached out to hold it and took the chance to look at the groom.

The groom was tightly surrounded so she couldn’t see anything. She only heard him coughing and gasping for breath.

“The doctor is here! The doctor is here!” The servant girl shouted as she ran.

As soon as the doctor arrived, the maidservant cried out in alarm, “Not good, not good. Young Master has fainted!”

The madam immediately ordered the servants to carefully carry him back to the quiet room to rest. The doctor hurriedly followed and the group of people left with the young master. Finally, it was quiet.

It seemed that the ceremony in this hall was not going to be successful. The attendant who had received the bride earlier ordered the maidservant to take the bride directly to the bridal chamber.

In the quiet room, Doctor Lu dismissed the servants and some insignificant relatives on the grounds with the explanation that he needed quiet to treat his patient. Only the madam who was previously in the hall was left.

That someone was Madam Liu, the bridegroom’s aunt.

Liu Shi said in a concerned tone, “Doctor Lu, Cheng’er has been coughing for a long time. Throughout his stay here, the doctor in the village hasn’t been taking good care of him. This Madam is really worried to death. This time, you must take a good look at Cheng’er and see what exactly is going on. Otherwise, I won’t be able to rest easy. ”

Doctor Lu indicated that he understood and immediately began to take his pulse.

After a while, Doctor Lu retracted his hand and sighed. “The pulse is weak. A slight tension would be enough to make him short of breath. The Young Master’s body is very weak now.”

“This kind of constitution is the easiest to get into. It’ll take at least a month to recover, and at most, it will take several months. It’s common for it to be recurring. We can’t be impatient. He can only carefully recuperate now.”

Liu Shi’s brows furrowed. Was it really because his body was not good?

Cough. He has been coughing for 800 years, but he was still not dead yet.

She mumbled to herself, but didn’t show it on her face. She still put on a concerned look and asked, “Then why is he coughing so badly today? Has the cold wind gotten worse?”

As a matter of fact, she wanted to ask if she could get sick from his coughing.
