Chapter 1497: 1497 Upside-down door

Su Qingyue smiled charmingly, "Thank you, second brother." She feared she was about to disappoint him.

Xiao Yuchuan’s gaze briefly flickered as he saw his wife’s stunning smile, and he chuckled along with a hey.

It seemed he had worried over nothing; he loved his wife so much, and she had him in her heart—how could he possibly lose her?

"I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll get going." Xiao Yishan found it hard to tear his gaze from Su Qingyue as he did so, severing all his lingering thoughts toward her.

"Second brother..." Su Qingyue called softly.

"Yue’er?" He paused in his steps.

"It’s nothing." She simply said, "If second brother needs any help, just let third brother know."

"I appreciate the trouble you’ve taken." Xiao Yishan expressed his gratitude and left the mansion to make some purchases.

Once he was out of earshot, Xiao Yuchuan said, "Wife, when you called out to second brother just now, it wasn’t just to say that, was it?"

"Hmm." She nodded, "I originally wanted to tell second brother that Tao Meijiao is pregnant."

"Oh? Is that so?" A hint of joy crossed Xiao Yuchuan’s face, "That means I’m going to be an uncle. I didn’t expect second brother to become a father so soon."

"Meijiao has yet to tell second brother about her pregnancy. I thought about it and decided it’s better for her to tell him herself." A smile also played upon her lips.

Xiao Yuchuan wrapped his arms around her, "Wife, when will you give me a son?"

"Stop being frivolous!" She glared at him, "Hurry up and focus on marrying off your second brother."

In the days that followed, Xiao Yuchuan was busy arranging the ’dowry’ for Xiao Yishan. The Tao family sent over the betrothal gifts, and naturally, the Xiao Chonghuan couple did not involve themselves in Xiao Yishan’s affairs.

Between the store’s business and Xiao Yishan’s wedding, Xiao Yuchuan was occupied for several days.

In the blink of an eye, the day arrived for Tao Meijiao and Xiao Yishan to get married.

After breakfast, the Tao Mansion’s wedding party arrived, and Xiao Yishan, dressed in a red wedding robe, rode on a donkey, followed by those carrying the dowry in a procession that made its way to the Tao Mansion with drums and gongs.

Su Qingyue and Xiao Yuchuan, together with Xiao Qinghe, only went as far as the mansion’s gates to see off the wedding party.

In the current times, a man marrying into a wife’s family was seen as a loss of ancestral pride, and not glorious; thus, the Xiao Mansion did not make a big fuss about it and kept things simple.

They would simply attend the feast at the Tao Mansion afterward.

"My, look at the groom’s left face, so ugly... it’s all scarred..." A child who wasn’t quite fully grown exclaimed in shock.

"It doesn’t matter if a man is ugly, losing the face of one’s ancestors is what’s really disgraceful." A woman patted the child on the head, "Son, don’t you grow up to be like him."

"Mom, what’s wrong with him? Look how impressive he is today, riding a big horse, wearing a red robe, being the groom..."

"A groom he may be, but that’s not a horse he’s riding; it’s a donkey. He’s marrying into the wife’s family. The children they have won’t even carry his last name... Such a man has no aspirations, marrying into his wife’s family. Who knows which family’s son he is; it’s as if they raised him for nothing..."

In the crowd gathered in the street to watch the excitement, similar jeering could be continuously heard.

There were also those who knew the story saying, "Isn’t that Xiao Yishan from Wushan Village, a mountainous bumpkin who managed to marry into a prominent family in town, becoming a son-in-law who married into the Tao Mansion? It’s quite the good fortune for him. Miss Tao is known in our town as a beautiful woman..."

"Indeed. Miss Tao is an only child, and to marry a beauty like her, I wouldn’t mind being disowned or disgraced." One of the men said, eliciting laughter from the people around.

All the way to the Tao Mansion, Xiao Yishan rode the donkey, his firm face turned green from the constant gossip he overheard, to the point where he almost didn’t want to go through with the marriage.
