Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Ch.56 - Wedding

Cheng Yumo felt embarrassed. For a while, she resented the cumbersome makeup, then resented the makeup master's crude craftsmanship. Finally, Cheng Yumo lamented bitterly. Why was her sister so scheming. Even on her wedding day, Cheng Yujin refused to let her go and insisted on stealing the limelight from her, the new bride.

Cheng Yumo stared at Cheng Yujin via the mirror. Her mind wandered wildly. When Cheng Yujin was married in the previous life, did she also looked like a ghost? Cheng Yumo couldn't remember clearly. Cheng Yumo was hit hard in her previous life and was severely ill. During Cheng Yujin's wedding, her mind was completely distracted. How could she remember the makeup? But when Cheng Yujin returned home after three days, Cheng Yujin's complexion was very good. Her face was rosy, her eyes were bright, and her whole body exuded a brilliance that was different from an unmarried girl.

At that time, Cheng Yumo didn't understand, but now that she had married Huo Changyuan once and experienced the matter between man and woman, she knew why.

Cheng Yumo felt a bit sour and somewhat bitter. Before she confessed the truth to Huo Changyuan, he and her sister had a good relationship. Huo Changyuan might not notice it, but from a third person's perspective, when Huo Changyuan looked at Cheng Yujin, his expression obviously softened. Cheng Yumo even suspected that Huo Changyuan actually didn't want to know the truth. By keeping himself in the dark, he could always deceive himself and continued to be a loving couple with Cheng Yujin.

Even though the price was Cheng Yumo, his real savior.

Thinking about what happened after her marriage in her previous life, Cheng Yumo became more upset. No wonder people said that it was difficult to become a second wife. Cheng Yumo and Huo Changyuan obviously loved each other. Cheng Yujin was the third party who stole her position. But after Cheng Yumo married Huo Changyuan, she always lived under Cheng Yujin's shadow, and even her husband couldn't forget his deceased wife.

Huo Changyuan could fool others, fool Huo Xue-shi, and even fool himself. But he couldn't fool the person with whom he shared the bed with. This matter depressed Cheng Yumo endlessly. That's why the first thing she did after her reborn was to expose the truth. She would rather carry the infamy of robbing her sister's fiance and be pointed in the back for getting married during the mourning period than living under Cheng Yujin's shadow once again.

Cheng Yumo thought that with her impending marriage, she would be free from the shadow of her previous life, and everything would finally be correct. However, at this moment, looking into the reflection in the mirror, no matter how unwilling she was, Cheng Yumo had to admit that Cheng Yujin was still so beautiful, so elegant and perfect. Cheng Yujin's marriage prospect obviously had been destroyed, and she would never have the same glory as of the previous life. She should have been devastated, should have been thinned out like Cheng Yumo in the previous life. How could she still be so calm, and still attracted everyone's sight?

Cheng Yumo bit her lips subconsciously. Because she used too much force, her lips bleed. The makeup master quickly cried out: "Second Miss, you cannot! You are a bride today, don't mess your makeup!"

Cheng Yumo was startled and hurriedly loosened her teeth in panic. Her servant girls also became panic, and the room suddenly was in a mess. Cheng Yujin stepped forward, took a look at the wound on Cheng Yumo's lips, and said calmly: "It's not a problem, just a small wound. Once the bleeding stopped, it will be alright. Change the rouge to this color and applied it thicker so the wound won't be visible."

The makeup master took another rouge and applied it on Cheng Yumo's lips. After seeing that the wound was really covered nicely, she sighed in relief. "Many thanks for eldest Miss' idea. Otherwise, today's wedding would be ruined."
