The sound of firecrackers rang throughout Baishan City. Everyone knew that today was the big day for Ye Zihong and Bai Que of the Bai Family. Many people had already opened their doors and stood on the streets, ready to watch the fun.
Baishan City was full of celebration today. Because the two biggest families in the city, the Ye and Bai families, were here, the city was decorated. Red lanterns and all kinds of embroidered flowers could be seen everywhere.
The sound of drums shook the sky. The wedding procession had been walking on the streets of Baishan City since early in the morning. This was their custom. They needed to walk around the city and spread the joy to everyone in the city. Finally, they would go to the girl's home and marry her.
"The Ye family's young master is also handsome and suave. Why would he marry Bai Que from the Bai family? " The two sides of the road were already filled with people. They were all looking at the bridegroom. Ye Zihong, who was already handsome, looked even more spirited in his festive red clothes.
Ye Zihong rode a tall black horse and walked at the front. He was full of vigor. The red embroidered ball on his chest swayed with the horse's hooves. He was accompanied by a band. Some were playing drums, some were playing gongs, and some were playing suona. The gongs and drums were loud. Behind him were eight people carrying a sedan chair. Behind him were ten people carrying boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry.
"Who knows? I heard that it was the Ye family's young master who suggested it. Maybe it's because Bai Que is good-looking!" The people on both sides were whispering. Although the Bai and Ye families were connected by marriage, it was obvious that Bai Que was not very popular in the eyes of these people.
"Of course she's good-looking. Don't forget her mother. She was a femme fatale. Who knows how many people in the Bai family died? Like mother, like daughter." Gossip was a fearful thing. Ye Zihong reined in the horse and looked at the people whispering around him with an unfriendly expression. His eyes were cold and he wanted to kill them.
"Young master Ye, we were just talking nonsense." Facing Ye Zihong's gaze, these few people immediately admitted defeat. These words were their usual topics of conversation. They didn't expect that Ye Zihong would actually hear it. If he wanted to argue with them, they probably wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
"I don't want to hear such words again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless." Ye Zihong looked down at the lowly appearance of these people. Then, he squeezed his horse's belly and continued to walk in the middle of the crowd. Even though there were cheers and blessings all around, Ye Zihong didn't feel a trace of warmth or happiness.
Seeing that Ye Zihong did not pursue the matter, those few people also heaved a sigh of relief. Watching the mighty group leave, they continued to pick up the previous topic.
Ye Zihong looked at the crowd on both sides. All kinds of faces were distorted because of the shouting. Their waving arms made him a little dizzy. Perhaps it was because there were too many faces. Their faces were different, but their eyes were the same. Ye Zihong saw all kinds of emotions in those eyes.
He raised his gaze and looked at the rising sun. His eyes glowed again. Even if there was no one to bless them, they could still go on, because after today, they would start a new life.
"Que 'er, pack up quickly. The people from the Ye Family will be here soon." Over at the Bai Family's side, in the small courtyard, there weren't many people even though it was a big wedding. Only Bai Jian and the maid were busy.
"Uncle Jian, do you think I'm pretty?" Just as Bai Jian was deep in thought, Bai Que's voice sounded. Sitting in a wheelchair, she was indescribably beautiful. She was dressed in decent clothes, matched with a gorgeous headdress, and had some makeup on her face. She and Ye Zihong were a perfect match.
"Pretty, Que 'er is pretty all the time." Bai Jian recovered and looked at Bai Que with tears in the corner of his eyes.
"Don't be unhappy about anything." Bai Que also knew why Bai Jian was unhappy. She had also heard about Nie Li's matter. Originally, everything had been arranged, but in the end, it was all for naught. This time, going to the Ye Family, she didn't have anything to do with it. The Ye Family wouldn't mistreat her, at least she had him. However, this kind of result was something that neither of them wanted.
The worry on Bai Jian's face also eased. He didn't want Bai Que to see him like this. He forced a smile. Today was a good day, so of course he had to be happy.
"I hope I didn't disturb you guys!" Bai Yangui's voice sounded in the courtyard. Bai Jian only gave him a glance, but didn't say anything. Bai Que also softly greeted the Patriarch.
"It's nothing, I just didn't think that Que 'er would have reached the age to get married. Ye Zihong is also not bad. I've fulfilled one of big brother's wishes." Bai Yangui didn't show any dissatisfaction because of their attitude.
"It's just a pity that Lu 'er won't be able to see this scene." Bai Jian looked at Bai Que. When he mentioned Bai Lu, Bai Yangui's expression instantly changed, but he still sighed and pretended to be very sad.
"Alright, what's done is done. Today is a good day. We'll be arriving at the Ye Family soon. Get ready! Today is a big day for our Bai Family. "Bai Yangui finished speaking and left. Bai Jian looked at his back for a long time and sighed.
"Que 'er, let's go. I'll send you off." Bai Jian took over Bai Que's wheelchair and slowly pushed it. His hand gripped the handle of the chair tightly. He really wanted to take them away, but he couldn't. But that person, whether he was alive or dead, Bai Jian didn't know.
The slight sound of the wheels turning was all that Bai Que and Bai Jian could hear. There were two shallow tracks on the ground under their feet, and Bai Jian's footprints were in the middle of the tracks. When they stepped out of the courtyard, the road became flat and there were no more tracks or footprints.
Perhaps this was their situation. Only when they walked out of this place could there be no footprints and no danger of being followed. Bai Jian pushed Bai Que. The only thing he could do now was to hand her over to Ye Zihong and send her out of the Bai Residence and leave this place.
When they arrived at the door, the wedding procession outside had been waiting for a long time. Everyone looked at Bai Que with their eyes wide open. She was truly a rare beauty, but it was a pity that she was gone.
"Uncle Jian, I'm here." Ye Zihong walked in front of Bai Jian and looked at Bai Que, his eyes full of longing and tenderness.
"It's good that you're here. In the future, I'll leave Que 'er to you." Bai Jian looked at Bai Que and then at Ye Zihong. He trusted Ye Zihong's character, otherwise he wouldn't have let Bai Que marry him.
"Come, bring the things in." Ye Zihong ordered the people behind him. Ten servants brought the gold, silver and jewels into the Bai Residence. The Bai Family took the jewels and left without looking back. This scene made Bai Que's heart turn cold.
"Que 'er, let's go!" Ye Zihong picked Bai Que up by the waist. The wedding procession began to set off firecrackers and lowered the sedan. Ye Zihong gently placed Bai Que down. The crackling of firecrackers was mixed with a sentence. "Let's go home!" The voice was extremely soft. Only Ye Zihong heard it. "Okay, let's go home." Ye Zihong lowered the curtains of the sedan and strode onto the horse.
"Let's go, let's go home." Ye Zihong waved his hand and the music started again. He walked in front with a smile on his face. Bai Jian looked at the wheelchair in his hand. The person in it was gone. She could fly by herself now, but he was still worried.
The huge wedding procession went back along the original path. Back at the Ye Residence, the place was filled with guests. The banquet had been set up from the entrance to the backyard. It was bustling with people and looked very lively. It was the complete opposite of the Bai Residence's desolation.
"The bride is here." Ye Zihong carried Bai Que and stepped through the main door. Bai Que blushed and didn't dare to look at the people around her. She knew that no matter what, after stepping through this door, she would be a member of the Ye Family.
Looking at Bai Que's bashful appearance, many guests gasped in surprise. Ye Zihong's father had been waiting for a long time. Ye Mingyuan sat on the left, and beside him sat some of the elders of the Ye family. Bai Yangui sat on the right, followed by a few scattered family members. At first glance, there was a sense of sorrow for the decline of the Bai family.
There were several tables in the hall. The people sitting there were very familiar. Several people from the Heavenly Sound Valley were also here. Even Yue Zhong and Yue Ling were here. At this time, he was sitting with Mo Xiaotou and Miao Shuzi. The two of them lowered their heads and whispered.
"My son is back. Then let's get ready for the wedding." Ye Mingyuan said loudly. Because of the support of his internal force, his voice could be heard outside. The servants began to get busy. Exquisite dishes were placed on the table.
"Today is the big day of my son Ye Zihong and the daughter of the Bai Family, Bai Que. Thank you all for coming. I am very grateful. As the future father-in-law, I have naturally prepared a good gift for my daughter-in-law. Bring it up. "Ye Mingyuan raised a cup of wine and drank it. He then called for the servants to bring the things up.
A servant carried a tray covered with a red cloth. Ye Mingyuan took the tray and removed the red cloth, revealing the things inside. It was actually the Earth Dragon Fruit. "The Earth Dragon Fruit is the essence of heaven and earth. It may be useful for your leg injury." Ye Mingyuan handed it to Bai Que.
"This thing is too precious." Bai Que rejected, but Bai Yangui took the tray and smoothed things over. Bai Que looked at Ye Zihong. Ye Zihong also knew what Bai Que meant and took the Earth Dragon Fruit.
"Que 'er just entered the house and is a bit shy. Father, let's not be strangers. I will take this." Ye Zihong placed the Earth Dragon Fruit in Bai Que's arms. Bai Yangui's face was a bit ugly, but he was also a shrewd old man. He did things very well.
"Okay, I will entrust Que 'er to you in the future. I am relieved." Bai Yangui's gaze landed on the Earth Dragon Fruit. Although the Bai Family also had one, no one would feel that something as good as the Earth Dragon Fruit was too much.
"Then thank you Patriarch Ye." Bai Que took the Earth Dragon Fruit and looked at the small fruit. Although it was bright red and very beautiful, it was watered with the blood of many people and their lives.
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. It's almost time. Let's begin! "Someone whispered something into Ye Mingyuan's ear. Ye Mingyuan waved his hand and said.
"The auspicious time has arrived. The wedding begins." The people outside shouted. Firecrackers and drums sounded together.
Bai Que was unable to stand because of his leg injury and could only sit on a chair.
"First bow to heaven and earth."
"Second bow to the parents."
For Bai Que, everything was simple. The two of them just bowed.
That final smile that they shared was an eternal one at that moment.
The two beauties in front of the door, bowing to each other.
