Guestsâ congratulatory voices were incessant, and Su Qingzhi couldnât help but smile broadly. The Su family was exceptionally busy hosting the guests, and even Su Miaoyan was grabbed by Madam Yin to attend to a few young ladies at the womenâs seating area.
With no choice but to interact, Su Miaoyan smiled and chatted with them. She had been uninterested at first, but their brothers, not much younger than them, were egging her on, âMiaoyan, when the bride enters, you must lead us to tease the bridal chamber, okay?â
âYeah, yeah! I heard your sister-in-law is very beautiful! I want to see if sheâs prettier than my sister-in-law!â
A little boy with skin as white as milk, his eyes shining, said excitedly.
His skin was so smooth, softer even than a girlâs. Su Miaoyan couldnât resist and reached out to pinch his cheek, placing her hands authoritatively on her hips, âAlright! Iâll definitely take you all to tease the bridal chamber later! Just make sure to keep up, donât fall behind!â
Boastfully, she revved up all the young girls and boys, who cheered and clapped their hands.
Little did she know, her words had reached the ears of Xiao Yu, who had just come looking for her.
Xiao Yu, with a folding fan in hand, spoke in a voice as cold as an immortal, âSu Miaoyan, is this how Iâve taught you on ordinary days, to do what? To lead them to tease the bridal chamber?â
âAh! Brother Yu!â
Su Miaoyan turned in a flurry, her small hands nervously clutching the hem of her dress, âYou⦠how did you come here!â
Xiao Si snickered, âThe young general is getting married, so of course, our young master must come to offer his congratulations. Miss Miaoyan, youâve been caught red-handed by my young master, havenât you?â
He had a look of relishing her misfortune, while Su Miaoyanâmischievous by natureâgiven that Xiao Yu doted on her, had often drawn turtles on his face in Qilin Garden. Now, she could finally get her own back.
Su Miaoyanâs little face turned red, her hands clutching her dress beginning to sweat.
Xiao Yu was usually very kind to her, but when he wasnât smiling, he exuded a certain pressure that made her⦠very nervous!
And yet, she had no idea what she was nervous about.
Xiao Yu saw her face turning red and pressed her forehead with his finger, âScared? Do you know what happens in the bridal chamber? And yet you want to lead these kids there to make trouble.â
In Xiao Yuâs eyes, there was an undeniable doting.
This young girl was such a rascal!
Su Miaoyan pouted, wanting to say that the bridal chamber is where a man and a woman do what husband and wife should do on the bed, right?
How could she not know that?
One day when she married, sheâd have to do those things with her husband too!
She understood it long ago!
But she dared not say this to Xiao Yu, fearing he would punish her to copy books again.
However, the little rascal behind her, whose cheek sheâd just pinched, didnât have a clue. He strutted up to her, looked up at Xiao Yu, and said, âWho are you to hit Sister Miaoyan! Sister Miaoyan is going to be my wife in the future. If you bully her again, I wonât let you off!â
Su Miaoyanâs heart skipped a beat. Indeed, during their joking earlier, she had agreed to be this little brotherâs wife.
But he was four years younger than her!
Just a boy of about ten, she had been kidding, and she hadnât expectedâ¦
That he would actually say that in front of Xiao Yu!
Now she suddenly wanted to see Xiao Yuâs reaction.
And his reaction was unmissable.
Xiao Yuâs expression was very cold!
Su Miaoyanâs legs trembled, and she instinctively pulled the little brother behind her, chuckling nervously, âBrother Yu, heâs still young, and kids say the darndest things, donât mind him!â
