The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 324 - 198:

Chun Nuan knelt in front of her mother, Mrs. Xu was crying profusely.

"Nuannuan, when you marry into the Zhao family, honor your in-laws and be kind to your sisters-in-law and nephews, manage the household and raise the children..."

This is something every mother reminds her daughter of before she marries.

Mrs. Xu was also instructing her while holding her daughter’s hand.

Standing beside them, Chun Ning gently furrowed his brow, these things were not what his sister should be doing.

His sister’s heart was never in domestic matters. She is a unique woman who cannot be trapped by mundane affairs.

Chun Ning also knew that their mother was saying this as a formal procedure, so he did not step in to stop her.

"Your daughter remembers your teachings," Chun Nuan said with a respectful bow. "Daughter bids farewell to Mother, Aunt, and Third Aunt, wishing you peace and happiness always."

"Good child, quickly get up, get up."

Mrs. Xu was even more emotional than Mrs. Xu, stepping forward to assist her up: "From now on, you will be part of the Zhao family, but the door of the Xiao family is always open to you, you must come home often."

"Yes."

A girl’s natal home becomes her maternal home once she marries.

Chun Nuan’s heart was filled with indescribable sorrow.

"The auspicious time has arrived, please let the bride board the sedan chair!"

The person officiating the ceremony urged once again.

"Sister, I’ll carry you to the sedan chair."

Chun Ning kneeled in front of Chun Nuan.

"Brother," Chun Nuan leaned on her brother’s back, "You have grown up, the responsibility of the Xiao family now rests on your shoulders. You must also take care of your health and not stay up too late at night."

Chun Ning learned everything quickly, not simply due to talent, but because of tireless diligence day and night.

Chun Nuan also knew that Chun Ning had regrets.

Third Aunt Mrs. Huang wanted her son to take the imperial examinations and pursue an official career, and Chun Ning also desired this.

The teacher at the school used to praise him daily, calling him smart and talented.

Grandfather was also very pleased, content that each generation was stronger than the last.

Yet one imperial edict ruined Grandfather’s livelihood and cut off the prospects of his descendants.

Chun Ning, being under twelve, was left behind and came to Shu City, becoming the eldest male in the Xiao family and thus too early shouldering the burden of supporting the family.

He learned to handle interpersonal relationships, to conduct business, to farm, and to practice medicine... and only in the deep quiet of night would he silently read.

One night, he was so exhausted that he knocked over the oil lamp, nearly causing a fire.

Chun Ning said nothing about this, and Chun Nuan pretended not to see, but she understood it all.

Thus, she specifically reminded her brother to take care of his health.

"Sister, I know," Chun Ning said, stunned for a moment, indeed, his sister knew everything: "Sister, even though you are getting married, this will always be your home, and I will always stand behind you."

Be bold and move forward, for I am at your back!

This was Chun Ning’s promise to Chun Nuan.

As she boarded the sedan chair, Chun Ning added, "Sister, you must find happiness, immense happiness forever."

"Rest assured, with me here, I certainly wouldn’t let your sister suffer any grievances, naturally she will be eternally happy,"

Zhao Minghua thought Chun Ning was reminding him and immediately stepped forward to assure him.

This young brother-in-law may be young, but he is not easily fooled, he is very smart.

Of course, he was sincere indeed.

Using his mother’s words: marrying such a daughter-in-law was as if the ancestral grave of the old Zhao family was blessing them.

Zhao Chengxun was even happier, remembering how he once merely thought, never imagining that dreams could actually come true.

This daughter-in-law that the Zhao family married truly was the best, and their Third Son had suddenly awakened, with luck unstoppable.

It was truly wonderful!

The bridal sedan progressed with music and fireworks, Zhao Minghua had Qingsheng distribute wedding candies along the way.

When passing by Hundred Herbs Hall, the people watching on both sides offered their blessings.

"Congratulations, Third Young Master Zhao!"

"Thank you, wishing the same to you."

Zhao Minghua’s face was nearly breaking from smiling as he cupped his hands in salute, still calling out his reciprocal wishes of happiness.

Listening from within the sedan chair, Chun Nuan felt embarrassed for him: You’re getting married, how does that bring joy to others?

When they reached the gates of the Zhao family, the bridal sedan stopped.

Chun Nuan was assisted out of the sedan by her maid, Ding Xiang.

"Miss, you must cross the fire basin now."

Crossing the fire basin is a ritual to ward off evil and turn misfortunes into blessings, an important ceremony before the bride enters the husband’s home.

Dressed in the heavy wedding gown and covered with a red bridal veil, crossing this basin was truly difficult.

Despite this, the fire in the basin was burning fiercely, the flames very high, causing Ding Xiang some fear, worried that Miss might not be able to cross or could meet with an accident while doing so.

Just then, Zhao Minghua stepped forward, directly stepping into the fire basin, and Qingsheng quickly bent down to adjust the wood in the fire basin so that when the Third Young Madam crossed, there wouldn’t be any danger.
