Chapter 189

Outside the Xiao Mansion, there was already a buzz of people.

Today, two young masters of the Xiao family are getting married. One is getting the favor of the saint, and the other was once favored by the saint. Although he has not been seen for a long time, he will still be mentioned by the emperor.

Therefore, all the dignitaries in the capital who can get along with the Xiao family, even if they have only met once at someone else's banquet, are all sending congratulatory gifts today.

I don’t know who called out, “The bride is here!”

Everyone then looked in Qiao Nian's direction.

They saw the long and joyful dragon winding its way, and Qiao Nian was riding a war horse, riding high above the ground. Everyone could not help but marvel from the bottom of their hearts.

First, I was shocked by the endless dowry.

Secondly, I was amazed at the bride’s extraordinary aura.

They thought that since Xiao He didn't go to pick up the bride today, the bride would be inferior to others. Who would have thought that Qiao Nian would come so generously and with great fanfare.

Faced with everyone's exclamation, Qiao Nian didn't care.

She turned over and dismounted neatly, and entered the house under the incredulous eyes of everyone.

Seeing Qiao Nian, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother immediately came to greet him.

They watched Qiao Nian grow up. In fact, they didn't like Qiao Nian at first. They just thought that this girl was so lively that she was almost crazy, and she often hung around Heng'er. She was really not like a lady.

In comparison, Lin Yuan was still more liked by them.

However, they did not expect that Xiao He, who had been staying at home for a long time, would take the initiative to find them and say that he wanted to marry Qiao Nian.

You know, even if they are in the mansion every day, they can count on ten fingers the number of times they can see Xiao He in a year.

Not to mention, Xiao He was talking about getting married.

They originally thought that Xiao He would never get married in this life!

Therefore, now they are a little more grateful to Qiao Nian.

At that moment, Xiao's mother warmly took Qiao Nian's hand and said, "It's really hard for you today."

Qiao Nian smiled tenderly at Xiao's mother, "Brother Xiao has difficulty moving, everyone can understand." So, she didn't care at all.

Father Xiao was very satisfied with Qiao Nian's generous response.

He nodded immediately, "The auspicious time is coming soon. Please wait with us for a while. Heng'er and Yuan'er should be arriving soon."

Hearing this, Qiao Nian frowned slightly. She just thought about having to worship with Xiao Heng and Lin Yuan for a while, and she couldn't help but feel sick in her heart.

However, the auspicious time had been decided long ago, and it would not be considered a marriage if they did not go to the church, so Qiao Nian had no choice but to endure it.

Sure enough, Xiao Heng and Lin Yuan arrived not long after.

After all, he had received the holy favor. Every step Xiao Heng took Lin Yuan in was congratulated.

However, Xiao Heng's face was not very pretty. Those who knew he was getting married today, but those who didn't knew thought he was going to the battlefield to kill the enemy!

The guests couldn't help but start talking, "Why does General Xiao have such an expression?"

"Didn't you see? The eldest mistress just followed me with a dowry, and the second mistress did so! Maybe General Xiao thinks it's shameful!"

When Lin Yuan heard this, her heart sank immediately, and her hands unconsciously began to twist the red silk in her hands.

The newlyweds finally entered the wedding hall.

However, a Xipo suddenly stuffed red silk into Qiao Nian's hand. Before Qiao Nian could react, the other end of the red silk was already held in Xiao Heng's hand.

"The auspicious time has arrived! The newlyweds come to the church..."

"Worship the heaven and the earth..."

A loud voice sounded, and Xiao Heng and Lin Yuan over there actually started to bow to the outside of the wedding hall.

Qiao Nian finally couldn't bear it anymore, threw away the red silk, and frowned with displeasure, "What are you doing?"

She originally thought that by asking her to wait here, she was just waiting to salute together.

In Xiao He's absence, she had to worship the heaven and the earth alone, and the ceremony was completed only when she worshiped in the high hall.

Who knew that she and Xiao Heng were even asked to hold a piece of red silk together!

The one she wants to marry is Xiao He, not Xiao Heng!

The originally smooth salute was interrupted, and both the Xiao Mansion and Xiao's mother couldn't help but frown.

I just feel that Qiao Nian's temperament has really not changed since she was a child. It is still the same, and she doesn't look like a lady at all.

Fortunately, Xipo hurriedly picked up the red silk and explained to Qiao Nian, "Don't be angry, eldest young lady. It's not convenient for the eldest young master to salute, so he asked General Xiao to do it for him. This matter of brothers saluting on behalf of their elders has been around since ancient times. You can rest assured."

The implication is to comfort Qiao Nian, she is still marrying Xiao He.

However, Qiao Nian put her hands behind her back and refused the red silk, "Even so, today is the wedding of General Xiao and Miss Lin. It is a bit ugly to worship together like this, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan spoke under the hijab, "Sister, it's okay. Brother Xiao has difficulty moving, so we should all be considerate."

This is so well said.

Firstly, it shows her magnanimity, and secondly, it implies that Qiao Nian is not considerate of Xiao He.

In contrast, isn't Qiao Nian just being unreasonable?

Xiao Heng was standing next to Qiao Nian, with a pair of terrifyingly deep eyes.

He never thought that she would be so resistant to even this matter.

It's just a courtesy on behalf of others...

Doesn't this work?

Even Father Xiao was a bit angry, "Don't make any more trouble, this auspicious time is almost over."

Japan is enjoying a double happiness today, but it can't be ruined just because of Qiao Nian!

Qiao Nian's eyebrows sank. Faced with everyone's urging, the hand behind his back finally dropped.

In the end, Xi Po stuffed the red silk into her hand.

She continued reluctantly, her eyebrows already twisted into a knot.

Seeing that Xi Guan'er was about to shout again, Qiao Nian suddenly pulled the red silk out of Xiao Heng's hand.

But this time, before everyone could get angry, Qiao Nian smiled and said, "No matter what, General Xiao and Miss Lin are getting married today, so he should only go to the wedding hall with Miss Lin alone. If it hurts Miss Lin's mood because of me, , I will feel bad about it.”

It's nothing more than pretending to be generous and kind, and it's not like she doesn't know how to do it.

But Father Xiao and Mother Xiao's brows were still frowning, and their tone was a bit complaining, "Then what do you want?"

Qiao Nian turned around and smiled at Xiao's father and Xiao's mother, "I suggest that Nuannuan salute on behalf of Brother Xiao. How about that?"

Hearing this, Xiao Heng's face suddenly darkened.

And Xiao Qingnuan, who had been standing next to Xiao's mother without saying a word, her eyes widened in an instant, "Me?"

Her parents had warned her for several days, telling her to behave herself and not to cause trouble today.

So from beginning to end, she stood in the corner, very low-key.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian discovered it!

Qiao Nian raised her lips and smiled softly, "You are Brother Xiao's biological sister. Since General Xiao can salute him, then naturally you can too."

The Xiao Mansion is not a manor house with strict rules. Otherwise, it would not have fostered Xiao Qingnuan's domineering temperament.

When hearing Qiao Nian's proposal, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother didn't resist much.

I just thought that the auspicious time was coming soon, so I didn't want to miss it, so I hurriedly waved my hand to Xiao Qingnuan, "Then go quickly!"

Xiao Qingnuan then stepped forward and took the other end of the red silk.

"Worship the heaven and the earth..."

Xi Guan'er spoke again, and the 'two newlyweds' bowed in unison.

When he stood up again, Qiao Nian caught a glimpse of Xiao Heng from the corner of his eye.

He was still looking at her, his gloomy eyes seemed to be full of reluctance and questioning.

Qiao Nian just pretended not to see it.

She knew that in the past years, she regarded Xiao Heng as a god and loved him as much as her life.

But in the years to come, he, Xiao Heng, was just a weed on the road, not even worthy of her gaze!
