Clan Prosperity Starting With My Servant Girls-Chapter 266: Liu Ju Zheng

Lin Xuan Qi smiled and glanced at Xue Cong but he couldn’t see her through the silk headdress that she had on her head.

He held onto her hand and pulled her closer.

This time there was no hesitation or struggle.

She stepped closer to him and their arms brushed together.

"Congratulations brother Lin," Sima Long shouted with his hands by the side of his mouth.

"Our child needs a playmate so you better work hard at it," Zhang Jie also teased him while being seated on a chair.

Hun Xiong Kun nodded at him with a smile and said, "Soon, you can let your child take care of some of the business for you."

The mood was infectious and everyone was beaming with joy.

However, it was not over yet.

Yue Jie, who was also in her room, waited for her turn anxiously.

The noises that she heard from the main hall made her heartbeat go up with every cheer.

She had thoughts about Lin Xuan Qi, Yue Xin and her father racing through her mind.

So much had changed for her to get to this day.

And she even thought about going through the account books to take her mind off the anxieties.

But with her wedding dress and the silk head scarf, it made it too troublesome.

"Mistress Yue Jie, it’s your turn to be at the main hall now." Yue Xin’s voice sounded from behind the door and she quickly stood up and opened it.

Yue Xin’s face popped into her vision and Yue Xin stretched out her hand at her.

She gave out a sigh, shook her head at Yue Xin and said, "It’s my auspicious day so I don’t want to argue with you."

Even though Yue Jie said so, she still reached her hand out to hold onto Yue Xin’s hand.

Both of them walked towards the main hall slowly with Yue Xin leading the way in front of her for the first time.

When they arrived at the main hall, Madam Sai was full of smiles at them and announced, "Here comes the concubine."

Yue Jie went up and stood beside Lin Xuan Qi.

Xue Cong gave her a nod and walked away to the side, leaving the center of attention to them.

By now, she had been prepared for this and it was nothing to her.

Lee He Song sat onto one of the chairs facing the entrance of the main hall.

But his head turned to the side and glanced at a man who was dressed in dark clothes with his head lowered.

Yue Jie and Yue Xin could recognize the man’s figure instantly.

It was Liu Ju Zheng.

They wanted to go up to him, tell him their grievances and let him know what had happened after their last visit to the prison.

But they knew they couldn’t.

All they could do was keep quiet and go through the ceremony as if he wasn’t around.

Yue Jie’s heart ached and glanced at Lee He Song, but she knew that it was the best that Lee He Song could do.

"It’s time to offer prayers to the heavens and offer respect to the elders." Unaware of what had transpired, Madam Sai continued with the ceremony.

Lin Xuan Qi and Yue Jie prayed to the heavens, placed the incense into the incense urn and knelt in front of Lee He Song.

They offered tea to him and Lee He Song accepted it.

After he took a sip, Lee He Song reached into his sleeve pocket and took out a chain.

"Here is something from your father, wishing that both of you would be together strong like this chain."

Yue Jie took the chain when he passed it to her and she took a glance at Liu Ju Zheng again.

Their father, Liu Ju Zheng gave her a subtle nod and she glanced back at Lee He Song.

After that, Lee He Song stood up from the chair and Xue Cong took over to seat in it.

Yue Jie offered a cup of tea to Xue Cong and Xue Cong, being the wife of Lin Xuan Qi, accepted it and took a sip from the teacup.

She didn’t have much but gifted her a small pouch she had sewn herself.

Yue Jie glanced at it and saw that there were words that said ’Many children ahead’ that were sewn rather clumsily.

But she was more than happy for the wishes.

When Madam Sai saw that Xue Cong had gifted her gift as the wife to Yue Jie, she raised her handkerchief and announced, "I declare them husband and concubine."

Another round of cheers erupted and Lin Xuan Qi helped Yue Jie up back onto her feet.

Madam Sai then came over to him and said, "Now, the bride and concubine would have to wait for you in their bedroom.

"And you can..."

She covered her mouth with her handkerchief and gave out a soft smile.

Xue Cong and Yue Jie lowered their heads and fiddled nervously with the long silk sleeves of their wedding dresses with their fingers.

Consummating the marriage with Lin Xuan Qi was the most nervous thing they were worried about and they didn’t know what to expect.

Madam Sai saw their nervousness and she held their hands and said, "Come with me, I shall give you a revision while the groom and the guests grab something to eat."

She said and led them away from the main hall to their rooms.

Meanwhile, Lin Xuan Qi ushered the guests to the dining hall for a meal and drink.

The guests happily obliged to it and they were settled in one of the tables that was inside the dining hall.

There were about ten tables set up inside the dining hall.

These tables were round signifying that the marriage would be well rounded and filled with happiness.

Servants quickly filled the wine cups and the first dish of the meal was brought out from the kitchen immediately.

It was a cold dish with some vegetables and some seafood like tiny octopuses braised in a sweet sauce.

Liu Shao who had come with Sima Long couldn’t wait and he picked up one of the tiny octopuses to have a bite.

He munched on it and his eyebrows turned into a frown.
