Chapter 2448 Return to Tianyun 14
With all the complicated etiquette such as the wedding ceremony, Su Xin was not sent to the bridal chamber until the evening.
Hearing the groom coughing while talking to the matchmaker, Su Xin didn't care.
Later, the groom went out again.
Su Xin sat on the bed in her wedding dress and waited for a long time, but the groom didn't come back to take off her veil. She wanted to take it off herself, but was stopped by her maid Ding Hongye.
"Miss, you have to wait for the son-in-law to come before you can take it off!"
"But my neck is so sore." Su Xin's neck was really sore with this thing covering her head, and she wanted to take it off and throw it away immediately.
"That won't work either, otherwise the son-in-law will come back and see it, and he will say you are unruly." Ding Hongye said in a low voice. Then, she wondered again: "Miss, this son-in-law is a little bit wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"I clearly heard the old lady say that the son-in-law is as strong as an ox, but this son-in-law seems to be sick, his face is as white as a ghost, and he keeps coughing."
"It's possible that he is sick at this time."
"That's right." Hongye nodded.
"If you don't let me lift the veil, then secretly get me something to eat. I'm so hungry."
Hongye also knew that her young lady had been hungry for a day, so she hurried to get something from the wedding table and stuffed it into Su Xin's hand for Su Xin to eat.
Su Xin had just finished eating the food Hongye gave her when she heard voices approaching. Soon, several people walked in, accompanied by a familiar cough. Among them should be her husband.
Hongye had nothing to cover her sight. When she saw the people coming in, she hurriedly saluted: "Son-in-law, you are back so soon, why don't you drink a few more cups?"
It stands to reason that on a big wedding day, the groom will be drunk, but her new son-in-law didn't look drunk at all.
Tao Mingye said gently, "I'm not feeling well, and they didn't dare to let me drink, so I came back."
The voice was really gentle.
Su Xin felt something was wrong. Huo Xiner had seen Tao Minghai before, and his voice was obviously very rough, like a big rough man, and he was also strong, like a bull, so how could his voice be so gentle?
"You all go down." Tao Mingye waved his hand gently, and all the servants, including Hongye, retreated.
For a while, only Tao Mingye and Su Xin were left in the room.
Tao Mingye walked to the bed and took off Su Xin's veil. Su Xin then saw that the new official was not Tao Minghai, but Tao Minghai's eldest brother - Tao Mingye.
Tao Mingye was not a legitimate son, but the eldest son, the eldest son of a concubine. He had always been in poor health and sickly, which led to no girls of status willing to marry Tao Mingye, for fear of marrying into the family and becoming a widow.
But Tao Chengyin was a third-rank minister, so how could he let his eldest son marry a girl without status? Therefore, even though Tao Mingye was 20 years old, he had not yet married.
Now, Tao Mingye was dressed in wedding clothes and looked gentle as jade, but because of his poor health, his face was pale and he was very thin. He coughed from time to time, announcing that his health was really bad.
But Tao Mingye's appearance and gentle voice were very popular with Su Xin. Su Xin liked people who were gentle as jade and spoke very gently. Unfortunately, she died before she met him in modern times.
Now, this man has become her husband, even if he was replaced, but she is more satisfied than marrying Tao Minghai.
Although satisfied, Su Xin still asked: "It's you who married me today?"
