Chapter 121 The Female General Who Did Not Love Makeup (26)
Xia Mingwei patted Xiao Ba's head and said, "Get up and get to work!"
The scene shifts again, revealing the entire bridal chamber.
At this moment, it was time for Wu Zhi to come and fetch the bride, but the bride-to-be, Xia Mingwei, was completely unaware of this and was still fast asleep.
Outsiders may not know the inside story, but Zhou Ying, the one who drugged him, knew it all too well.
Knowing that Xia Mingwei had already fallen into a deep sleep after taking the medicine, she thoughtfully arranged for a junior member of the clan to carry her to the bridal sedan chair. Little did she know that, although it was still a marriage, it had changed from marrying off a daughter to marrying off a son.
Xia Mingwei's cousin carried her on his back and started walking away. He felt the weight on his back and couldn't help but sigh again, "My cousin truly lives up to her reputation as someone who served in the army, fought on the battlefield, and achieved great feats. Her physique is impressive! He almost couldn't carry her!"
If his aunt hadn't informed him beforehand that his "cousin" had passed out drunk, he would have thought he was carrying a grown man on his back!
If he were to fall while carrying his "cousin" today, embarrassing the general, his father would probably not let him off the hook! You see, this job was something his father had pulled a lot of strings to get!
It's common for people to fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak. This "cousin" is a prominent figure in the court; even though she's a woman, cultivating a good relationship with her could lead to a promotion someday!
Thinking of this, his heart burned even brighter, feeling an even greater responsibility on his shoulders. He secretly vowed that he must make this wedding a success today; making his "cousin's" satisfaction was more important than anything else. Xiao Ba and Xia Mingwei, witnessing this scene on screen, were overjoyed.
Only after the cousin carried "Xia Mingwei" to the bridal sedan chair did he breathe a sigh of relief. And thankfully, the red veil on "Xia Mingwei's" head remained on throughout the entire process.
The bridal sedan chair arrived at the Wu family home amidst the sounds of music and celebration.
Zhou Ying had previously considered Xia Mingwei's personality and was afraid she would cause trouble on the wedding day. Therefore, Zhou Ying had discussed the matter of drugging Xia Mingwei with Madam Wu.
So the two tacitly agreed to skip many of the traditional wedding ceremonies. To outsiders, this seemed incredibly undignified. But what could they do? Both families had abandoned even the last vestiges of dignity.
It was thanks to the shamelessness of these two families that Xia Mingwei was able to take advantage of the situation, and the plan proceeded so smoothly! Just like that, "Xia Mingwei" was carried into the bridal chamber without any hindrance.
Although many guests disapproved of the two families' actions, it didn't stop them from having a desire to watch the spectacle! This once-in-a-millennium "female demon" was getting married, so of course they had to come and join in the fun! Otherwise, at future gatherings, when all the other ladies knew about it, it would be such a pity if they missed it!
However, these women, who were just there to watch the spectacle, had no idea that the wedding banquet they were attending would be the most spectacular event in their entire banquet-attending history! Even the hosts had changed, but that's a story for another time!
Even though Madam Wu told Wu Zhi so many about the benefits of this marriage, deep down Wu Zhi was still unwilling. The reason was simple: the woman was just not his type!
He clearly has no interest in women, yet he's being forced to marry a jinx. Anyone would be unhappy in that situation!
Thinking about it this way, he felt even more frustrated. At the banquet, he drank one glass of wine after another until he was completely drunk and still refused to stop.
It was only after Madam Wu intervened that his behavior was stopped.
Madam Wu gave a wink to the people around her, and had them help Wu Zhi back to the bridal chamber. Watching Wu Zhi's back, Madam Wu revealed a meaningful smile.
Inside the bridal chamber, she had already arranged for aphrodisiac incense to be lit, waiting for Wu Zhi to enter and consummate his marriage with "Xia Mingwei"! After Wu Zhi entered the room, several servants discreetly withdrew, closing the door behind them. They had been instructed by Madam Wu to not open the door, no matter what noises came from the room that night. If they hindered the young master and young mistress's consummation of their marriage, Madam would make them pay!
After a short rest, Wu Zhi gradually regained his senses.
Perhaps due to the aphrodisiac incense, he felt an intense heat rising within him. He intended to call for water, but the movement beside his pillow stopped him in his tracks.
It turned out that Xia Wei, who had been under the influence of traditional Chinese medicine, had regained consciousness! Xia Wei sat up, looked around at his surroundings, and then looked down at his own clothes. Combining his memories from before he fainted, he quickly realized where he was.
Thinking that he had been tricked by Xia Mingwei again, Xia Wei felt an unquenchable anger in his heart. The wedding dress he was dressed as was so glaring, as if it were proof of his failure once again.
Thinking of this, Xia Wei no longer cared about rules or regulations; all he wanted was to strip off those annoying clothes. And Xia Wei not only thought it, but he also did it.
Having previously investigated Wu Zhi privately and seen his portrait, Xia Wei had a certain understanding of Wu Zhi. However, the absurdity of being carried from the Xia family to the Wu family in place of Xia Mingwei made Xia Wei feel it necessary to explain this to Wu Zhi.
It didn't take him long to come up with his explanation.
He got out of bed, cupped his hands in a respectful greeting to Wu Zhi, and began to explain, "Young Master Wu, there has been a misunderstanding today! I am Xia Wei. Originally, it was supposed to be my sister who married into your household, but due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, it was me who did it. I would like to ask Young Master Wu to come back to the Xia residence with me so that we can set things right and facilitate this marriage!"
Xia Wei's plan was perfect, but Wu Zhi thought it was a different story.
At first, Xia Wei was still wearing his wedding attire, so he couldn't recognize her. But the moment Xia Wei took off his wedding clothes, based on his years of experience in the world of pleasure, he immediately realized that the "Xia Mingwei" in front of him was a man.
Normally, Xia Wei might have listened to his explanations. But from the moment he stepped into the bridal chamber until now, he had inhaled a large amount of aphrodisiac. At this point, he had long lost his reason and was nothing more than a man driven by lust.
At this moment, Xia Wei, in his eyes, was not some so-called "brother-in-law," but a delicate man waiting for his favor. Before he was drugged, Xia Wei possessed a certain masculine energy. Using the word "delicate" to describe him would indeed be somewhat inappropriate. But now, it seemed perfectly fitting!
