152 Success

Auntie He bowed to Li Yu. “Young Madam, you must be hungry! Shall I send you some food?”

Li Yu smiled and waved at Auntie He. “Auntie He, I’m not hungry now. I just feel too hot. You can send it over after I take a shower. Just send some light food.”

Auntie He looked at Li Yu’s flushed cheeks and smiled. “The wedding dress is a little stuffy. I’ll send it to you in an hour.”

Li Yu nodded and watched Auntie He leave. After she closed the door and left, Li Yu took off the heavy wedding dress and went to the bathtub to take a bath. Only then did she feel that the heat was gone. She wiped the water stains off her body and put on the red dress. She pushed open the window and the wind blew in from the window, scattering the coolness into the house and blowing away the heat in the house. Li Yu instantly felt cool.

Auntie He brought the food over and looked at Li Yu lovingly. She smiled and said, “Young Madam, I picked up some of your favorite food and brought it over. Eat a little.”

Li Yu smiled and sat down. “Alright, you must be tired today! Have you eaten?”

Auntie He looked at Li Yu and smiled. “I’m not tired. I’m happy! I feel energetic all over.”

Li Yu watched as she ate shyly before letting Er Ya take away the food.

Zhou Jia toasted everyone and fled back to his room.

Seeing that Zhou Jia had returned, Auntie He pursed her lips and smiled. “Young Madam, Young Master is back. Rest early.” With that, she left.

Li Yu sat at the table and looked at Zhou Jia with a smile. Zhou Jia closed the door and walked over to hug Li Yu. He kissed Li Yu’s temples and looked at her. “Yu’er, I’ve finally married you. I’m so happy!”

Li Yu also felt overjoyed. She replied shyly, “Look at you. You smell like alcohol.”

Zhou Jia raised his hand and sniffed his sleeve. He smiled. “Wait a moment. I’ll go wash up first.”

While Zhou Jia went to take a bath, Li Yu found a plate and swept the red dates, cinnamon peanuts, and other things on the bed onto it. She listened to the sound of water coming from Zhou Jia’s bath and sat in front of the dressing table with a burning face.

Zhou Jia washed up and came out. He looked at Li Yu, who was sitting in front of the dressing table. Zhou Jia walked over and bent down to hug Li Yu. His head leaned against Li Yu’s neck. Zhou Jia’s hot breath sprayed on Li Yu’s neck, and Li Yu’s nervous heart skipped a beat.

Zhou Jia’s heart beat faster in excitement as he suddenly picked Li Yu up. Li Yu felt dizzy and subconsciously hugged Zhou Jia’s neck.

When Li Yu woke up again, the sky was already bright. Zhou Jia returned from outside the house and looked at Li Yu gently. “Are you hungry? Auntie He made porridge. After eating, we’ll go to the ancestral hall to pay respects to our ancestors.”

Li Yu rolled her eyes at Zhou Jia and endured the pain in her body as she searched for her clothes on the bed. Zhou Jia walked to the cabinet and took Li Yu’s underwear. He picked a wide-sleeved dress with a red background and dark patterns. He walked to Li Yu’s side and placed his face in front of Li Yu. He smiled mischievously. “Yu’er, don’t be angry. Why don’t you hit me a few times? The hot water has been prepared. Go wash up and eat. My heart will ache if you’re hungry.”

Li Yu glanced outside and saw that the sun was up. She snuggled back into the blanket shyly and covered her head with the blanket. “I’m ignoring you. You’re the one who embarrassed me.”

Zhou Jia reached out to hold her. “My good Yu’er. I’m in the wrong. You should punish Xiao Xi to put on clothes for his wife.”

Li Yu was dug out of the bed by Zhou Jia. He watched as she went to wash up and came back. After combing her hair, she nimbly tied her hair into a bun. She took out the hairpin Li Qing had bought from the box and placed it in her bun. He then went forward and led Li Yu out of the house.

When Auntie He saw the two of them come out, she looked at them with a smile. “Young Master, Young Madam, breakfast is ready.”

Li Yu looked at Auntie He’s smiling face and nodded with a red face. She walked towards the dining room with Zhou Jia.

After dinner, Zhou Jia brought Li Yu to the small ancestral hall. Uncle Zhou stood at the entrance of the ancestral hall and bowed to the two of them. “Greetings, Young Master and Young Madam.”

Li Yu hurriedly went forward and bowed. “Uncle Zhou, there’s no need to be so polite.”

Zhou Jia brought Li Yu into the small ancestral hall. Uncle Zhou looked at the couple and thought to himself, Young Master and Young Madam are really a match made in heaven. Old Master, Madam, did you see that?

After entering the small ancestral hall, Zhou Jia took three incense sticks and lit them before handing them to Li Yu. He pulled Li Yu to kneel on the meditation cushion. After paying respects to his grandfather, he paid respects to his mother.
