Since she had been bestowed with a marriage decree, Su Kui was no longer one of the preparative concubines. She left the palace with the old madam on the same night.

It really surprised her when Lu Yao was sent to her the very next day. It made her marvel at how powerful Jun Mo was.

Speaking of which, Grand Preceptor Feng had been giving Su Kui the cold shoulder ever since the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

He used to hide it by acting indifferent toward her, but now he did not even bother to hide his loathing of her.

The wedding was set on the ninth day of the next month. Su Kui could not understand why Jun Mo was so anxious. Apparently, after getting a diviner to match the eight characters of their birth time, the ninth day of the following month was selected as the auspicious date for their wedding.

Although Grand Preceptor Feng had made it very clear that he would not prepare any dowry for her, Su Kui did not mind at all.

There was no way the old madam and Feng Zheng would let the only legitimate daughter of the family get married without any dowry. Besides, despite Grand Preceptor Feng’s harsh words and his reluctance to provide the dowry, unfortunately for him, he could not afford to lose face.

It was not the best timing to offend the prince-regent.

Preparations were in full swing. She began to feel nervous as well, affected by the tension in the situation.

Su Kui tried to calm down as her chest felt tight; it was her first wedding ever.

She never thought it would be so unique.

Time flew like an arrow, and the ninth day of September came in the blink of an eye.

As far as the eyes could see, everything was bright red like dazzling hell flowers by the river of the underworld.

Outside the courtyard, chests of dowry were laid on the ground. There were countless pieces of jewelry, house deeds, porcelains, and antiques.

A large portion of the dowry had been provided by the old madam, and some of it had been provided by Feng Zheng. Meanwhile, Grand Preceptor Feng gave the remaining invaluable items reluctantly.

It was clear that Grand Preceptor Feng did not care about this daughter of his at all.

Maids and old maidservants crowded Su Kui’s luxury bedroom, checking everything at a busy pace. They were careful not to leave anything out and ruin the big day.

“First combing, may your marriage last a lifetime. Second combing, may you be blessed with a long life. Third combing, may you be blessed with many children and grandchildren.” The wedding chaperone combed Su Kui’s hair while she recited those blessings.

The reflection of the girl in the mirror had flawless fair skin with thick eyelashes, beautifully curved eyebrows, a snub nose, and scarlet lips. Her long black hair flowed down her back.

Overwhelmed by the whole thing, Su Kui fell into a trance. She wondered which life of hers was the real one? Two completely different faces gradually overlapped in her absent-minded eyes.

She heaved a long sigh. ‘Am I going to get married just like that?’

It still felt so unreal.

Sitting on a pearwood chair, the old madam looked at the joyous scene before her with a smile on her face as she recalled memories from the past.

In just the blink of an eye, she had grown from a baby to a young girl.

She had become old, and even her granddaughter was getting married now.

The old madam could not ask for more. Her children and grandchildren had their own destinies. When people got older, they no longer asked for glory and wealth; all they wanted was the happiness of their children and grandchildren.

She hoped that the prince-regent really meant what he said at the banquet, that there would only be one mistress in his residence and he would treat Yan’er well.

“The auspicious time has come!”

The loud call came out of nowhere. The crackling of firecrackers outside was deafening, and it was followed by endless congratulatory shouts.
