Chapter 1583: 1583 bridal sedan chair 2

The drumming, suona, and firecracker sounds filled the sky along the way.

"Aiyo, this is the legitimate son that the Xiao Family found a bit over a month ago," someone among the bystanders on both sides of the street asked, watching the handsome man at the forefront of the wedding party.

"Yes, he is the heir of the Xiao Family, and he is indeed handsome," someone agreed.

"I’ve heard that the bride is the most beautiful woman in the world. The Xiao heir is truly fortunate..."

"He really is blessed with beauty. I heard that his first wife, Su Qingyue, was also a peerless beauty..."

The envious gazes of the guys followed all along the way.

Chang Haotian was sitting at an elegant seat by the window on the second floor of a Tea House, watching Xiao Yuchuan in his spirited red groom’s robe, riding a white horse at the very front of the wedding party.

His guard, Chang Feng, said, "Estate Owner, now that Xiao Yuchuan is remarrying, you need not worry about him getting back together with Su Qingyue anymore."

"According to my informants, last night Gongsun Qianru climbed into Xiao Yuchuan’s bed, and he didn’t even take pleasure in the beauty’s warmth, even clearly telling Gongsun Qianru not to get on the bridal sedan chair..." Chang Haotian mused, "If I’m not mistaken, Xiao Yuchuan has no interest in Gongsun Qianru. He is waiting for Su Qingyue to appear."

"What if Miss Su doesn’t show up? Could it be that at this point, Xiao Yuchuan would dare to cancel the wedding?"

"That’s unclear, just quietly watch the changes."

"Estate Owner, where do you think Su Qingyue has gone? You sent so many people and still couldn’t find her," the guard asked.

A touch of longing flashed in Chang Haotian’s eyes, "I too would like to know where Qing’er has gone."

...

The Xiao Mansion was decked with lanterns and colored banners, filled with guests.

Those who came to congratulate today were government officials, business tycoons- not just a wedding banquet but also a great opportunity to make connections.

Since Xiao Chonghuan couple had been resting for many days, their broken legs had slightly improved. Although they could not walk on their own and needed the family servants to assist them, they did not need to be carried into the lobby, saving some face.

The Xiao Chonghuan couple sat in the main seats, separated by tables covered with pastries and tea fruit.

"The groom and bride are coming!" someone shouted.

Everyone looked outside, and saw out in the lobby, where the red carpet lay, Xiao Yuchuan holding one end of the red silk, and the bride holding the other, being helped along by the wedding chaperone, walking towards the lobby, stopping in front of the main seat.

Xiao Yuchuan’s gaze circled around, not finding Su Qingyue, not even spotting a single suspicious person.

A feeling of disappointment welled up inside him.

Could it be that she really wasn’t coming? Could she truly bear to watch him marry another woman?

Hadn’t she said that if he dared to marry someone else, she would kill him with a knife?

"The auspicious time has arrived," the Master of ceremonies shouted, "Bow to heaven and earth!"

The pair of newlyweds bowed in the direction of the outside of the lobby.

"Bow to the high hall."

The newlyweds bowed again to the Xiao Chonghuan couple.

Xiao Yuchuan’s mind kept recalling the scene when he first married Qingyue.

Today’s wedding was so grand, but when his wife married him back then, it was only in the poor Wushan Village.

He knew all too well the woman by his side was marrying him for his status.

And he, even though he had the birthmark that the legitimate bloodline of the Xiao Family had from birth, for some reason, always felt that the Xiao couple were not close to him, and he might not even be the legitimate son of the Xiao Family.

"Husband and wife bow to each other!" the Master of ceremonies called out loud again.

Gongsun Qianru, under her red veil, hurriedly turned towards where Xiao Yuchuan stood, facing him for the final bow.

But Xiao Yuchuan just stood there, motionless.

The many guests watched as the groom remained unresponsive, and began to glance at each other uncertainly, with someone asking in confusion, "Why isn’t the groom moving?"
