Chapter 11: Something wasn't Quite Right

Start from the beginning
                                    

If the Wu Family had such things, then they would be even more successful.

Of course, because only old granny and those who came along saw it, the head of the Wu Family was still uncertain and decided to get Fourth Son Shi to steal it.

However, she was already prepared and had transferred all of them into her space, so she was not afraid of the Wu family's doings.


She waved at her scumbag father and the rest. "Alright, then we'll meet again!"


The Shi family members wondered, who wanted to meet you again.

They did not want to see that wretched lass again.

Old Master Shi waved his hand with a face full of frustration. "Go, go."

Shi Qingluo carried a small bag and turned around to leave the Shi's residence without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Old Master Shi and the others could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

This jinx had finally left.

Old Lady Shi and the other female members of Mdm Niu's family did not come out to send Shi Qingluo off.

This meant that they did not like Shi Qingluo.

Shi Qingluo did not care about this at all.

Instead, she felt that it would be better if they did not come out to be an eyesore.

After she walked out of the door, she smiled and greeted the eldest son of Chief Xiao and others.

Xiao Erlang's face was full of smiles. "Sister-in-law, I've come to fetch you on behalf of my brother!"

Shi Qingluo smiled and reached out to pat his shoulder. "Then let's go!"

When the eldest son of Chief Xiao and others saw that no one from the Shi family came out to send the bride off, they felt a little strange.

When Shi Qingluo saw this, she smiled and said, "They couldn't bear to part with me. They were afraid that they wouldn't be able to hold back their tears when they came out to send me off, so I told them not to come out."


The members of the Shi family who were standing in the courtyard remained silent.

Who couldn't bear to part with you? Shameless brat.


The chief's son guessed that the Shi family probably didn't want their daughter to chongxi, but they couldn't object to Shi Qingluo's request.


No wonder that when they met just now, their expressions didn't look like they were marrying their daughter off.

Instead, they looked as if someone had died in their family.

He smiled sheepishly. "Hop on the ox-cart."

This was their family's ox-cart. His father had asked him to drive it to pick them up.

Initially, they had thought that the Shi family would be difficult to deal with before they could pick their bride up. They had not expected it to go so smoothly.

Shi Qingluo did not argue and took the initiative to hop on the ox-cart and sit properly. "Sorry for troubling you!"

Then, the group headed towards Xiaxi village.

In countryside marriages, most women were very poor and would wear their usual clothes and follow their husband's family back.

Only the rich and powerful families could marry their daughters with a phoenix coronet and a wedding gown.

They would wear a red veil and sit in a palanquin.

Shi Qingluo sat on the ox-cart and leisurely watched the scenery along the way.

She sighed silently.

She didn't expect that she would be married off in ancient times when she didn't even get married in the modern era.

When they arrived at the Xiao family's courtyard, Shi Qingluo nimbly jumped off the ox-cart.

Mother Xiao and Xiao Baili were already waiting at the door.

When she saw that they had arrived, Mother Xiao took the initiative to go forward and shake Shi Qingluo's hand.

"Qingluo, Zheng'er hasn't woken up yet.


"In a while, you two will attend the marriage ceremony. Erlang will take his clothes and pay his respects to you."

"After Zheng'er wakes up, you two will do it again one more time.

"It must be hard on you!"

Shi Qingluo smiled. "It's fine."

It was good that Erleng was doing it on behalf of his brother.

If Xiao Hanzheng woke up and couldn't get along with her, it would be easier for them to part ways in the future.

After all, they hadn't attended the official ceremony before.

Those who had a good relationship with Mother Xiao and those who helped their family after they separated from their extended family members were all invited.

Including the chief and elders, there filled up three tables.

Mother Xiao led Shi Qingluo into the main house.

Under the witness of these people, she and Xiao Hanzheng's clothes bowed at the hall.

Then, they went into Xiao Hanzheng's room.

After entering the room, Shi Qingluo put down the small bundle and walked to the bedside to look at her husband who was still unconscious.

She reached out to touch his forehead.

It was no longer hot.

After withdrawing her hand, she frowned slightly. "The fever has already subsided. Why isn't he awake yet?"

Something was not right.

Then, she lifted the blanket and rolled up his pants.

There were a few scars on his calves and thighs that were not too deep.

They were scabbed and the wounds were treated well.

There were no signs of inflammation or swelling.

She reached out and touched his legs. "The bones are not broken."

She wanted to see if there were any other hidden injuries on Xiao Hanzheng's body.

After touching his legs, she took off his clothes to check if there were any injuries on his upper body.

She lowered her head to examine him carefully. She did not notice that the person who was originally unconscious moved his fingers slightly, and his body even stiffened.

He struggled to wake up, but he could not open his eyes.

To Shi Qingluo, there weren't any thoughts that were distracting her mind, but to someone else, it was different...
