Rebirth of an Abandoned Woman

Chapter II

Confession in the Bridal Chamber

🔸🔸🔸

“Si ya,” the door was gently pushed open from the outside. The bridesmaid was the first to enter the chamber. As she rap, she giggled, sounding very much like a stream of flowing water. Behind the bridesmaid were the bridegroom and the servants.

“That’s enough. The rest of you may leave,” Shi Fengju interrupted the bridesmaid suddenly. The heartwarming auspicious words stopped abruptly.

Sang Wan remained motionless, but behind the veil, she blinked a few times. His voice was as smooth as ever, yet blank to the extreme. She could even imagine his facial expression as he spoke; his face and his expression must have been even duller.

“Uh. Yes…” The bridesmaid was Qingzhou City’s most famous and was known as Matchmaker Zhang. She had seen all of the different kinds of relationships possible between males and females in villages all around the city. No relationships that were created around the city could escape her ears. Even the indecent relationship between Sang Wan’s husband and his cousin, Gu Fangzi, was not news to her.

If only her father had not arranged this marriage when he was still alive… If only canceling the marriage between her and the Shi family’s eldest son was simple… She wouldn’t have needed to be in the position she currently was in!

However, it seemed that even though Miss Sang was able to become part of the Shi family and also take the position as Shi Fengju’s wife, her position was not as secure as one may think.

The bridesmaid gave a wink and pouted a few times to signal the servants. Together with Liu Ya and the rest of the servants, the bridesmaid left the chamber.

The door was closed gently and the huge room fell into silence. The atmosphere within the room became a little depressing.

Having always lived in an environment where the world revolved around him, Shi Fengju’s already gloomy feelings became gloomier. The color red was supposed to be bright and warm, but right now, it somehow brought him a deeper sense of depression.

True enough, a person’s state of mind brought about differences in one’s perception.

His gaze swept over the big red Double Happiness word ‘囍’ (TLN: 囍means joy) scattered with gold powder, and the dragon and phoenix wedding candle that was previously lit. His eyes suddenly darkened and he entered a trance.

Let’s get this over and done with! Shi Fengju sighed secretly to dissipate all of the unpleasant emotions within him. Since I agreed to marry Miss Sang into my family, as long as she is not someone who is untrustworthy, she will remain as my official wife! My dear cousin, Fang’er, said she’ll understand my actions. She’ll definitely understand. I’ll not disappoint you, my Fang’er.

Shi Fengju subconsciously rubbed his hands together as he steadily approached the bride. He pinched the two edges of the veil with his hands and slowly lifted it up, revealing the coronet. The jade pearls on the coronet shook a little as the woman wearing the coronet gently raised her head.

A pair of crystal clear eyes stared deeply into his eyes.

Such crystal clear eyes! Such magnificence! The gentle blinking of her eyelashes were simply breathtaking.
