Wealth and glory seek stability

The brother and sister have supported each other all the way to this day. Shen Nanxing knows that this is a happy day, but for no reason he feels a little lost.

Lying on the bed at night, stroking Dongfang Wenying's belly, he muttered, "Madam, you must give birth to a son."

Dongfang Wenying's heart skipped a beat, "What if it's a daughter?"

Shen Nanxing sighed, "I'm afraid I won't be able to control my fists, and I might accidentally kill my son-in-law when I marry my daughter off."

"puff!"

Dongfang Wenying couldn't help laughing, "Could it be that my husband is feeling sad because his sister is getting married today?"

Shen Nanxing felt depressed. He put his arms around Dongfang Wenying, buried his head in Dongfang Wenying's hair, and took a deep breath.

"Yeah, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not that indestructible."

The moonlight came in through the window screen, and Dongfang Wenying vaguely saw the red corners of Shen Nanxing's eyes, feeling distressed.

"How could that be? I'm just happy that I married the right person. My husband has a pure heart. This is our child. Whether we have a son or a daughter is God's will. My husband, please don't worry about it."

Shen Nanxing turned around and lay on the bed, looking up, "You are the only one who would say that I have a pure heart. On the battlefield, I am a living devil who kills without blinking an eye. I have seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood..."

Dongfang Wenying listened quietly to Shen Nanxing talking about his experiences on the battlefield. He downplayed many life-and-death crises.

He had never told her these things before, and he had never talked as much as he did tonight, as if he was trying to use something to cover up some emotion in his heart.

Perhaps due to fatigue from the past few days, Shen Nanxing began to snore softly when he was halfway through his speech.

Dongfang Wenying gently turned around and looked at Shen Nanxing's profile. His sword-like eyebrows showed his heroic spirit. With his eyes closed, he didn't look like a general, but more like an ordinary teenager.

Perhaps he himself did not realize his feelings for Jian Xi. It was not until Jian Xi got married today that the string in his heart seemed to be completely broken.

Dongfang Wenying is good at chess and calligraphy. The chessboard is full of ups and downs, and the flow of the pen tests one's meticulousness.

A woman like Jian Xi, let alone men, even she, would be unconsciously moved by her when getting along with her.

She is worldly-wise but not worldly-wise, and has a rare appearance in the world. She seems gentle, but is actually indifferent and heartless. However, as long as such a person keeps one person in her heart, it is no exaggeration to say that the unique tenderness in her eyes can capture any man in this world.

Dongfang Wenying is the daughter of a noble family and has her own integrity. She would not question these groundless emotions. Moreover, on the day of her wedding, Shen Nanxing had already told her his clear attitude.

She had already lost her heart to this man from the first moment she saw him. When she knew that her mother also wanted her to marry Shen Nanxing, God knows how happy she was. She couldn't sleep all night.

It was not until she married him that she realized that this man was indeed a good one. Ever since her father had been indulging in alcohol and women when she was a child, she secretly vowed to marry a good man who was upright and honest.

Finally her dream came true and she was pregnant with their child.

She also had her own selfish motives in arranging Jian Xi's wedding these days.

As long as Jian Xi gets married, she is confident that this man will only have her in his heart from now on.

Love rises and falls without asking for reasons, but it can easily stir up sadness in the flow, and the thoughts and letting go all happen at a certain moment.

Some people struggle for this moment for half their lives, but cannot get it; some people have it within their reach, but are hesitant.

Gao family.

The wedding ceremony was complicated, and Jian Xi asked for everything to be kept simple, but Gao Yunhuai felt that the wedding only happened once, and this house was already an injustice to Jian Xi. He wanted to let everyone see how much his Gao family valued Jian Xi.

Mrs. Gao sat in the main seat, dressed in a gorgeous green dress, looking very dignified.

All ceremonial procedures follow ancient rituals.

After the newlyweds pay their respects, they spread the tent and drink the wedding wine.

From before dawn to dusk, Jian Xi had done everything mechanically. Gao Yunhuai was dragged away by everyone to socialize and drink, and Jian Xi sat alone in the new house.

Zi Cui stayed in the room while Xiao Shuang brought some snacks and food from the kitchen.

The banquet on the wedding day was mostly greasy meat, but the few dishes Xiaoshuang brought were a combination of meat and vegetables.

Jian Xi was so hungry that she was dizzy, and she had no mood to ask Xiao Shuang how a little girl could bring such light and delicious meals from the busy kitchen.

The restraints on her head and body prevented her from relaxing. Seeing this, Xiaoshuang picked up the plate and fed Jian Xi mouthful by mouthful. Zicui stood by with a handkerchief to block the oil and water in the dishes from staining Jian Xi's wedding dress.

Su Jie and a few others stood outside the door to keep watch, in case anyone came to see the bride so that they could report the news.

Jian Xi ate something and finally felt alive again.

Listening to the noise outside.

Zi Cui quickly helped Jian Xi to sit down, and Xiao Shuang deftly put the dishes and chopsticks into the lunch box.

Shuangshou helped Gao Yunhuai into the bridal chamber and bowed his head and said, "Madam, the master is a little drunk, and most of the guests outside have left. I will ask the kitchen to make some sobering soup."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Jian Xi looked at Gao Yunhuai lying on the table and felt a headache. What was the point of throwing him to her?

I glanced at Zi Cui, who knew that Zi Cui seemed to be able to read my mind, "Madam, I... I will ask Su Jie and the others to get some hot water for washing."

On the wedding night, as a maid, she could not overstep her boundaries. Mother Xing said that they were not allowed to touch her brother-in-law's fingernail. If Mother Xing found out, she would be punished according to the family rules.

Jian Xi:.......

He sighed, resigned himself to his fate and walked to Gao Yunhuai's side, putting his hand on Gao Yunhuai's shoulder.

Gao Yunhuai grabbed Jian Xi's wrist reflexively. Jian Xi's eyes became fierce, and she grabbed it with her backhand, and with a grappling move, she subdued Gao Yunhuai on the table.

Feeling the cool touch, Gao Yunhuai opened his eyes as if in a daze, and his usually deep and handsome voice sounded a little more intoxicated, "What's wrong?" His lips opened and closed.

Jian Xi looked at the handsome man who was pressed on the table by her, let go of his hand awkwardly, turned her head, swallowed her saliva, and missed the fleeting teasing look on Gao Yunhuai's face.

"No, it's okay. You're drunk. Do you want to wash up?"

Gao Yunhuai rubbed his eyes as if he had just woken up, "Well, if my lady wants to take a bath, there is a bath behind the screen over there. Just turn the night-shining pearl on the table and fresh water will flow in."

"It can heat up automatically?" Jian Xi was surprised.

Gao Yunhuai smiled gently and said, "There is a hot spring nearby. I specially asked a craftsman to make this mechanism. If you don't want to use the hot spring water, you can ask someone to pour hot water into the bath." He took Jian Xi's hand very naturally and walked to the dressing table and helped her take off her crown.

Jian Xi had never been taken care of like this by a man before, and she felt a little uncomfortable. She looked at Gao Yunhuai's skillful movements, and saw a hint of jealousy in his tone that she had not even noticed.

"You seem to be very familiar with these hairpins and rings."

Gao Yunhuai soon took off the hair crown on Jian Xi's head, and combed Jian Xi's hair with his fingers, with a smile on his face.

"I have seen the design of this hair crown, so I remember that when I was a child, I saw my father helping my mother with her makeup, and he did it like this."
