The third day of August is a good day for getting married.

As soon as the sky turned pale, everyone in the Shen Mansion became busy, hanging up lights and decorations to prepare for the banquet. It was very lively.

Shen Nian’s former residence.

Shen Nian sat in front of the mirror in her wedding dress while Madam Quanfu combed her hair. Madam Quanfu recited a poem of blessing while combing her hair.

She skillfully combed Shen Nian's hair and put on a phoenix crown, then put on a phoenix-head hairpin, which swayed slightly as Shen Nian moved.

Gold and silver are shining, and jewels are glittering, gorgeous and dignified.

Her beautiful face was lightly powdered, and her lips were made even fuller and more rosy by the lip balm.

She wore a three-foot-long floor-length peony wedding gown with a phoenix pattern and a cloud-like gauze belt embroidered with a phoenix, which showed off her slender waist. She had a pair of deer eyes with a stream of autumn water, two curved willow-leaf indigo eyebrows, a fair face with a spring look, and was dressed in gorgeous makeup.

The embroidery is so brilliant that it is no exaggeration to say that it is a fairy concubine descended to earth.

The maids serving in the room were all staring with wide eyes. They had never seen a bride as beautiful as Shen Nian.

On the street, the wedding procession marched along with the sound of gongs and drums, and the music and rituals continued. People on the street all came out to watch, and the doors of the people where the wedding procession passed were covered with wedding candies.

Shen Yuan rode a tall horse at the front of the team, wearing a loose wedding gown embroidered with a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix.

His temples were as if cut by a knife and his eyebrows were as if painted with ink. He was truly handsome and elegant.

The wedding procession stopped in front of Shen Nian's old house and Shen Yuan came in. Because Shen Nian had no other relatives, Shen Yuan only led Shen Nian to pay respect to her parents' spirit tablets and simply ended the ceremony.

Shen Yuan personally carried Shen Nian to the sedan chair. Shen Nian's vision was blocked by the veil, so she could not see clearly what Shen Yuan took out from his sleeve and handed it to her.

Shen Yuan climbed onto his horse, and his followers lifted the bridal sedan and followed him back to the Shen residence.

Following closely behind were the attendants carrying Shen Nian's dowry, a total of 180 loads of dowry, covering the entire long street, which could be described as a true ten-mile red dowry.

Sitting in the sedan, Shen Nian opened the handkerchief handed to her by Shen Yuan, and a smile filled her eyes.

Shen Yuan was afraid that she would be hungry, so he gave her two pieces of peach blossom cake to fill her stomach.

I didn't expect that the head of the family, who always seemed to be unromantic, could be so thoughtful. Qinglian was amazed. The power of love is really great.

"The bride is coming, the bride is coming." The children ran and called out to each other, and the young men waiting in front of the door lit firecrackers.

For a moment, the sound of firecrackers deafened the sky and it was very lively.

The bridal sedan chair entered the courtyard and passed over the brazier, burning away all the bad luck from the past, and the future days will surely be prosperous.

A red carpet was laid on the road from the sedan chair to the main hall, and Shen Nian was helped by the bridesmaid as she walked across the red carpet into the main hall.

In the main hall, the best man stood by. Old Madam Shen also came in full dress, with her silver hair combed meticulously and looking energetic.

He was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes. When he saw the new people coming in, he sat up straight with joy.

The newlyweds prepared to worship in the hall with the praises of the two best men.

“Bow to heaven and earth.”

Shen Yuan helped Shen Nian kneel down and worship heaven and earth.

“Bow to your parents twice.”

Shen Yuan and the other two knelt down and bowed to Old Madam Shen, who smiled and accepted their greetings.

“The couple bows to each other.”

"The ceremony is over! Send her to the bridal chamber."

Shen Yuan patted Shen Nian's hand gently and handed her to the matchmaker to help her to the bridal chamber.

The female members of the Shen family also hurried to the bridal chamber to see the bride, while the male members went to eat at the banquet.

"Ah, Miss Shen is as beautiful as a fairy today. The dowry is really magnificent. I wish I could have such a grand wedding."

A maidservant in green was holding a plate and telling the maidservant in pink beside her about her envy and yearning.

"You? How dare you dream of such a grand occasion?" The maid in pink directly shattered the dream of the maid in green.

"Hmph, you are too straightforward, girl. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to the front hall to ask for the wedding money." The maidservant in green left in a hurry, and the maidservant in pink hurried to follow her.

The entire conversation between the two was heard by Lin Rou.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. It is now difficult for Lin Rou to get pregnant, and it is even more difficult for her to get married into a good family.

She would never have the grandeur of Shen Nian's wedding in her lifetime, so how could she not be angry and jealous.

Lin Rou, who was locked in the side room, naturally also heard the noise of music and ceremony outside.

Today is Shen Yuan's wedding day, but she can only be locked up in the side yard like a dog.

The two maids who were in charge of guarding Lin Rou also rushed to the front hall to ask for money. Lin Rou was left unattended, which made Lin Rou immediately come up with a plan, and she rushed to break open the door.

She fell to the ground because of the excessive force, but she didn't care about the dust on her body.

Lin Rou immediately got up from the ground, sneaked into the small empty kitchen in the side yard, fetched a knife, and headed towards Jingyuan.

I heard that Shen Nian was pregnant. Since Lin Rou couldn't be a mother, Shen Nian couldn't give birth to the child.

Everyone in the bridal chamber was amazed at the bride's beauty and praised Shen Yuan for being so lucky to have such a beautiful wife.

Everyone was called by Old Madam Shen to the front hall for a banquet. Old Madam Shen was helped by Nanny Gu into the bridal chamber to see Shen Nian.

"Is my daughter-in-law tired today?" Old Madam Shen likes Shen Nian very much now and is willing to ask her a few more questions.

"Not tired, daughter-in-law thanks mother for her concern." Shen Nian readily changed the way she addressed Old Madam Shen.

Old Madam Shen responded immediately, and was so happy that she couldn't even close her mouth. Just as she was about to say a few more words of concern to Shen Nian, she was suddenly pushed to the ground by a strong force.

Suddenly something unexpected happened, Lin Rou rushed into the house holding a knife and rushed towards Shen Nian.

She stabbed Shen Nian in the stomach with a clear aim, but Lin Rou came so suddenly that the servants had no time to react.

Even Shen Nian had no time to dodge, and the blade, emitting a terrifying white light, stabbed towards Shen Nian.

Shen Nian once again felt deeply powerless. Was she going to die here today? Could fate not always play tricks on her like this?

At this critical moment, Old Madam Shen got up from the ground and stood in front of Shen Nian.

The sharp blade pierced into Old Madam Shen's chest, and the smell of blood filled the entire room. Lin Rou was so frightened that she screamed.

"I didn't mean to do that. Aunt, why did you rush over to block the knife for Shen Nian, that bitch?"

Lin Rou had gone mad. She was tearing her hair madly and kept muttering that she didn't mean it.

The maids rushed out to find the doctor, causing Shen Yuan to panic. Qinglian pressed down on Lin Rou and slapped her continuously, without any of her usual reserve.

Shen Nian was trembling as she held Madam Shen's hands. Madam Shen's warm blood soaked her clothes and hands. Shen Nian burst into tears and choked with sobs.

"Mom, please wait, the doctor will be here soon. You will definitely be cured. You haven't even had your grandson yet, so you must hold on."

Shen Nian's voice was trembling and incoherent, but there was a pleading tone in his voice that he had never heard before.

Madam Shen's breath was so weak that it was difficult for her to respond. Madam Gu knelt down at Madam Shen's feet and cried bitterly.

Shen Yuan rushed into the room with red eyes, gently held his old mother in his arms, and hurriedly asked the imperial physician to treat her.

The imperial physician carefully examined Madam Shen's wound and shook his head with a heavy face, "Madam Shen is old, and Song cannot save her."

After these words came out, Shen Yuan was so grief-stricken that he couldn't hold back his tears any longer. Suddenly the room was filled with cries and shouts.

Could it be that the Shen family's wedding today turned into a funeral? Shen Nian didn't believe that fate would treat her so unfairly.

Shen Nian hurriedly summoned the system and asked it crying if there was any way to save Old Madam Shen.

The system asked Shen Nian to use all his points to redeem healing pills (which can quickly heal any wound) and Shen Nian did not hesitate at all.

Madam Shen's breath was getting weaker and weaker. At this moment, everyone with tears in their eyes saw Shen Nian take a few steps forward and feed a pill into Madam Shen's mouth.

A miracle happened, the bleeding from Old Madam Shen's wound stopped, and the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Doctor Song checked Madam Shen's pulse again and found that her pulse had recovered. This was a miracle of resurrection.

Old Madam Shen actually slowly sat up from Shen Yuan's arms. Except for her pale face, she looked no different from before.

Everyone was stunned. What did Shen Nian feed Old Madam Shen that had such an effect? ​​It was no exaggeration to say that it brought the dead back to life.

"I have been practicing medicine for many years and have never seen such a miraculous medicine. Do you have any more on you, young lady? Maybe I can study it a little bit?"

Doctor Song's eyes lit up. Such a miraculous medicine is rare in the world.

Shen Nian shook his head and said, "No more. This medicine was obtained by my father from a medical saint to save my life. There is only one pill left."

Apart from this, Shen Nian couldn't think of a better reason to explain the origin of the medicine.

Doctor Song nodded regretfully, wrote a few nourishing prescriptions for Old Madam Shen, and then said goodbye.

Shen Yuan dismissed everyone in the bridal chamber who had just recovered from their grief, and ordered the guards to take Lin Rou to the Ministry of Justice prison.

Only Old Lady Shen and Shen Yuan and his wife were left in the bridal chamber. Old Lady Shen saw that both of them looked very sad, so she forced a smile.

"How old are you? It's so embarrassing to still be crying."

Mr. and Mrs. Shen Yuan were amused by what Old Madam Shen said. Seeing that she still had the energy to tease them, their hearts finally settled down.
