The Old Matriarch spoke kindly, offering a few auspicious words before instructing someone to lead the newlyweds to the Zheng Tang to complete the ceremony.
In the center of Zheng Tang, an altar had already been set up with incense and offerings, flanked by tall candles. Following the guidance of the officiant, Su Yuntang proceeded through the various rituals.
Beside her stood a tall man with a composed demeanor, but through the layers of her veil, Su Yuntang could only make out a vague outline.
Once all the rituals were completed, the officiant announced loudly, "Bring them into the bridal chamber!"
A maid had already been designated to lead the way. With the support of Liu Mama and Hong Xiu, Su Yuntang arrived at the newly prepared residence—Yun Gui Courtyard.
Inside the new home, red candles burned brightly, and large red silk ribbons adorned each corner of the bed. The windows were decorated with joyous paper cuttings, filling the room with a festive and auspicious atmosphere.
Su Yuntang quietly sat on the edge of the bed, her red veil hanging down to conceal her anxiousness. Liu Mama, Hong Xiu, and Lu Ao stood nearby, occasionally adjusting her wedding gown.
"Miss, would you like to rest for a moment?" Liu Mama asked softly. "I imagine the groom will be busy entertaining guests for a while."
Su Yuntang gently shook her head. "There is no need to worry, Mama. I am fine."
About an hour later, laughter and footsteps echoed from outside, growing closer. The voices of men could be heard teasing:
"Second Young Master, don’t keep the bride waiting!"
"Hurry up and lift the veil so we can see our new sister-in-law!"
The door swung open, and a large group of people crowded in behind the groom.
They laughed and gathered around the bed, some urging playfully, "Second Young Master, why are you still standing there? Lift the veil!"
Under their encouragement, the groom stepped forward slowly and reached out to gently lift the red veil.
In an instant, silence fell over the room.
As the veil was lifted, Su Yuntang's stunningly beautiful face was revealed. Her skin was as smooth as cream, her features like a painting; her bright eyes sparkled with a hint of shyness and nervousness, while her cherry-red lips were slightly pursed—she appeared as graceful and ethereal as a lotus flower emerging from water.
Even her carefully applied makeup could not conceal her natural beauty.
Su Yuntang timidly raised her gaze and truly saw for the first time this legendary Second Young Master Long—Long Xi—known for his cold demeanor.
He was indeed handsome; with sword-like brows and starry eyes, his straight nose and thin lips formed exquisite features that seemed sculpted. The bright red wedding robe accentuated his tall figure, exuding an aura as warm as jade but with an undercurrent of subtle sharpness.
His deep black eyes were fixed intently on her, a flash of astonishment crossing his gaze before it returned to calmness as if his momentary distraction had merely been her imagination.
The moment their eyes met, Su Yuntang's heart raced like a drum.
She had not expected that the Second Young Master of the Long Family would possess such outstanding looks. The innate nobility and unfathomable aura he exuded made her feel an inexplicable sense of danger.
"This... this..."
"Oh my, such a beautiful woman!"
"The Second Young Master is truly fortunate! A match made in heaven!"
The crowd marveled, their eyes filled with admiration.
The groom, Long Xi, gazed deeply at Su Yuntang, his thin lips curling into a faint smile that did not quite reach his eyes.
"Alright, alright, we've admired the beauty long enough; it's time to let the newlyweds have some privacy!" an older guest urged with a chuckle.
"Yes, yes, a moment of intimacy is worth a thousand gold pieces; we won't disturb you any longer!"
Laughter echoed as the guests gradually exited the room, leaving only the two newlyweds and their close maid in the bridal chamber.
