He Xi's face flushed red, and she pushed him away with a smile, saying, "Groom, you'd better get out quickly, or they will rush in soon."
Sure enough, Zeng Shouyue's angry voice was heard outside the door again, "Is the precious daughter of our Divine Medical School so easy to marry? Nangong Yu, you'd better come out quickly, or I'll make sure to get you drunk today."
Nangong Yu's face was filled with reluctance and resentment, with a hint of childish grievance.
He Xi pursed her lips, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Go quickly, I'll wait for you to come back to drink the wedding wine, and... the bridal chamber."
Nangong Yu's heart was slightly moved, and the fire in his chest became more intense. He took a few deep breaths, smiled and tapped He Xi's forehead: "Bad girl!"
Then he turned and left the bridal chamber.

Just after the hour of Xu, Old Madam Nangong, still in gorgeous clothes, slowly walked towards the bridal chamber, accompanied by two ordinary-looking old maids.
Guarding the door of the bridal chamber were Qingluan and Wunian, as well as the two guards that Hexi brought from Fenglong Territory, Xijia and Xiyi.
Seeing Old Madam Nangong, Wu Nian and Qing Luan both showed respectful expressions, "Greetings, Old Madam."
Seeing her heading towards the bridal chamber, Qing Luan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Excuse me, old lady, what can I do for you?"
Madam Nangong smiled with relief and sighed, took out an ancient box from the storage ring, and said softly: "This is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in our Nangong family. It has always been passed down to my daughter-in-law. Although it is not as precious as the Phoenix Feather Heavenly Clothes, it represents the status of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Nangong family. Look at me, I am so confused. I have been busy with Yu'er's marriage these days and completely forgot about it."
Qingluan was a little surprised, but she didn't doubt it.
Old Madam Nangong has always been very kind to her master. Even when she knew that the young lady was a man, she never opposed the marriage. She had no reason to doubt the old lady.
Xi Jia was a little confused. What kind of heirloom must be given to the young lady on the wedding night? Can't it be given to the newlyweds tomorrow when they offer tea
He was about to speak when he heard Madam Nangong say again: "When a new person in our Nangong family gets married, they have to offer sacrifices to their ancestors the next day. If Yu'er's wife doesn't wear this jewelry during the sacrifice, I'm afraid the second son and his family will have some ideas in their minds."
Since Old Madam Nangong said so, Xi Jia was skeptical but didn't say anything.
The door of the bridal chamber slowly opened, and after the three people entered, it slowly closed again.
Xi Jia frowned and looked towards the new house from time to time.
About a cup of tea later, Old Madam Nangong walked out of the bridal chamber with a relieved smile on her face. Following behind her were still the two unremarkable maids.
After instructing the two to take good care of Nangong Yu and Xi Yue, Old Madam Nangong left leisurely.
Xi Jia looked at the stiff steps of a nanny following Madam Nangong, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter. He suddenly pushed the door open a crack and whispered, "Miss, are you okay?"
"It's okay. What happened?"
Looking through the gap, I saw a woman in a wedding dress sitting under the flickering firelight, with a phoenix crown still on her head. A pearl curtain hung down to cover her face, but I could vaguely see her beautiful face underneath.
Xi Jia heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Xi Yue sitting there intact. He thought to himself that he was too suspicious. Since the people in the Pluto Palace trusted Madam Nangong, it naturally meant that she could be trusted. (To be continued)
