Chapter 408 Brother, I Like You 35
On the eve of Ruo Fufeng and Chao Yao's wedding, in order to ensure that this important ceremony would not be without the witness of his father, in the eyes of outsiders, Ruo Fufeng tried every possible means and finally made Ruo Tingfeng wake up slowly.
The room was filled with an atmosphere of tension and expectation, and the sunlight filtered through the carved window lattices, casting mottled shadows.
Everyone gathered around Ruo Tingfeng's bed, all looking nervous and expectant.
Ruo Tingfeng slowly opened his heavy eyelids with difficulty, and his eyeballs moved with difficulty.
When his eyes focused, the first person he saw was Wu Shier.
Everyone thought that since he and Wu Shier were so in love, he must hope that the first person he saw when he woke up would be her.
Wu Shier's face was covered with tears, her eyes were full of concern and anxiety, her hands tightly twisted the handkerchief, she leaned forward close to the bed, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, you are finally awake, I was worried to death."
But who could have thought that Ruo Tingfeng's eyes full of resentment were fixed on Wu Shier. Even though he couldn't speak, his angry eyes seemed to be able to spit fire.
Ruo Fufeng, who was standing aside, frowned, carefully observed his father's eyes, and guessed what his father was thinking.
Wu Shier was frightened by Ruo Tingfeng's eyes. Her delicate body trembled violently, and her tears flowed even more violently. She cried, "Master, I am innocent!"
She didn't know what to say about the injustice and thought that Ruo Tingfeng blamed her for the coma.
After all, she had been scolded by her family members for some time, just because Ru Tingfeng was in her bed when the accident happened.
The maids around were so scared that they lowered their heads, not daring to breathe, and held the handkerchiefs in their hands even tighter.
The servants looked at each other, at a loss, and some even quietly took a few steps back.
Ruo Tingfeng's eyes rolled more violently and his face turned red.
Ruo Fufeng's heart tightened. He understood what his father meant and said, "Father probably meant that you should take good care of him in the future and not slack off at all."
Ruo Tingfeng's eyes were wide open and almost popped out of their sockets. Their eyeballs were covered with bloodshot and looked as if they were about to explode.
The hatred in his eyes was as real as substance, like a sharp dagger, as if he wanted to cut Wu Shier into pieces and torture him to death with his eyes.
But his body was still as stiff as a sculpture, unable to move at all. His throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton, and he could not utter a word to express the surging anger and deep disgust in his heart. He could only let Ruo Fufeng misunderstand his meaning, but he could do nothing about it. Veins bulged on his forehead in anxiety.
After hearing Ruo Fufeng's words, Wu Shier's body softened at first, as if his spine had been pulled out. He let out a long sigh of relief, and his tense nerves instantly relaxed.
But then, endless regret surged in her heart, drowning her like a tide.
She looked at Ruo Tingfeng's eyes that were full of hatred and like poisonous arrows, and her body trembled slightly. The trembling became more and more violent, like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
Until now, she could only sigh in her heart.
His daughter Chaoyao was about to become the mistress, and Ben was delighted to think that he would be able to benefit from it, enjoy endless wealth and glory, and lead an enviable life.
But now she has ended up in such a miserable situation, having to take care of this devilish old man who hates her so much in this deserted yard.
She bit her lips until they lost their color. A trace of unwillingness flashed across her eyes, but it disappeared in an instant like a shooting star.
Tears burst out of her eyes again like a flood. Her throat seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. She choked and said intermittently, "Master, I know I was wrong. I will do my best to take care of you in the future."
Every word seemed to have exhausted all her strength.
Ruo Tingfeng's eyes rolled around in extreme anger and looked away fiercely. With a resolute look, it was obvious that he didn't want to look at Wu Shier even once, as if looking at him any more would dirty his eyes.
At this time, a maid stepped forward cautiously, her footsteps as light as a cat's, and said softly, "Madam, please help the master lie down and rest first."
There was a hint of timidity and caution in her voice.
Wu Shier tried to muster up his strength, but that strength seemed to be at the end of a spent force. With the help of the maid, he slowly helped Ruo Tingfeng up with trembling hands. His movements were extremely gentle, for fear of hurting him.
Let him lean on the pillow and carefully tuck in the quilt for him.
Ruo Fufeng looked at this scene, turned around and said to everyone: "Go down first and let father have a good rest." There was a hint of fatigue and helplessness in his voice.
Everyone saluted in unison, then tiptoed out of the room.
Only Ruo Tingfeng, Wu Shier and a few personal maids were left in the room.
Wu Shier sat on the edge of the bed with a dull expression and empty eyes, as if he had lost his soul, and his whole body was like a walking corpse.
Ruo Tingfeng was still glaring at the front, the anger burning more and more vigorously in his heart, and the hatred in his heart did not diminish at all, but became more intense.
But no one cared.
Ruo Fufeng looked at his father's hateful eyes, ignored them and started talking about what had happened during this period.
"Father, I am an unfilial son and have caused you to suffer this disaster. But during this period of time, I have managed the family affairs in an orderly manner. The accounts of various shops and farms have been rechecked without any omissions. The alliance with other families is also progressing steadily. The family business is stable and has prevented those with ill intentions from succeeding." Ruo Fufeng spoke in a steady tone and looked at Ruo Tingfeng with a firm gaze.
Ruo Tingfeng's eyes moved, and it was unclear whether he was approving or still angry.
Ruo Fufeng continued, "Father, I will hold a wedding with Chao Yao tomorrow. Although Chao Yao is of a humble origin, I believe her character can bring harmony to the family. All matters concerning the wedding have been prepared, and it will not bring disgrace to the family."
Ruo Tingfeng's expression was still ugly, and he glared at Ruo Fufeng fiercely.
Ruo Fufeng sighed helplessly and said, "Father, you can rest assured and recover from your illness. I will definitely protect the family and live up to your expectations."
After saying that, Ruo Fufeng turned and left the room, leaving Ruo Tingfeng alone in agony of anger and helplessness, while Wu Shier was still sitting by the bed, as if he had lost his life.
On the day of Ruo Fufeng and Chao Yao's wedding, the entire Ruo Mansion and even the entire capital city were shocked by this grand wedding.
The house was decorated with lights and colorful decorations inside and outside, the vermilion door was open, colorful silks fluttered in the wind, and dazzling jewels were dotted in every corner, emitting dazzling light.
The wedding procession set out in a grand manner early in the morning. Ruo Fufeng was wearing a gorgeous red groom's suit and a dazzling golden crown on his head. He was riding a snow-white horse with an elegant saddle and bridle. Behind him followed a long guard of honor. The sound of gongs and drums was earth-shaking, and the scene was extremely lively.
As for Chao Yao, she was in her boudoir in the other courtyard, being carefully helped by her personal maids in dressing up.
This villa was specially arranged to avoid suspicion and is beautifully decorated.
Her wedding dress was made of the finest silk, embroidered with floral and bird patterns interwoven with gold and silver threads, and it was dazzling.
Chao Yao wore a phoenix crown and had a rosy face, but her eyes revealed a hint of nervousness and anticipation.
When the wedding procession arrived at the villa, Ruo Fufeng dismounted and walked into the room amid the cheers of the crowd.
He looked at Chao Yao with deep affection in his eyes. He gently took her hand, walked out of the room together, and got into the gorgeous sedan chair.
The sedan chair set off and moved slowly around the main streets of the city.
The streets were crowded with onlookers, who all gave their sincere blessings to the newlyweds and marveled at the luxurious scale of the wedding.
Back at Ruo Mansion, the wedding officially began.
Several strong servants carefully carried Ruo Tingfeng out of the room. They moved very gently for fear of hurting Ruo Tingfeng.
Ruo Tingfeng's face was still gloomy, his eyes full of resentment and helplessness. He was half-supported and half-leaned on the main seat. Although he was weak, his majesty was still there.
Ruo Fufeng held Chao Yao's hand and walked slowly towards the main hall along the red carpet.
Chao Yao's skirt dragged on the ground, like a blooming red lotus, graceful with every step.
The ceremonial officer sang loudly: "Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
Ruo Fufeng and Chao Yao turned to face the door and bowed reverently.
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
The two men came in front of Ruo Tingfeng. Ruo Fufeng had a respectful look on his face, while Chao Yao looked a little timid to outsiders.
They bowed respectfully.
"Couple greetings!"
If Fufeng and Chaoyao bowed to each other, the moment their eyes met, they were filled with expectations for the future.
After the ceremony, Ruo Fufeng took Chao Yao into the bridal chamber.
The bridal chamber is decorated warmly and romantically, with flickering red candles and fragrant aromas.
At the banquet, the expressions of the tribesmen were extremely colorful.
Ruo Hongchang stared at all this with eyes wide open in disbelief, muttering, "The luxury of this wedding is comparable to that of the royal family. How can a woman of low status like Chao Yao deserve such luxury?"
Ruo Jingting was full of jealousy and snorted coldly: "What is Ruo Fufeng going to do? Going to such great lengths for Chao Yao is simply disrupting the family rules!"
Ruo Minxing frowned and fell into deep thought: "It seems that Ruo Fufeng attaches great importance to Chao Yao. Is there a deeper plan behind this?"
Other tribesmen were also whispering and discussing.
"What is so charming about Chao Yao that makes Ruo Fufeng spend so much money?"
"Could it be that Ruo Fufeng has been bewitched by this woman?"
"Such a lavish wedding will greatly increase the family's expenses!"
At the same time, Chao Yao's shocking dowry made everyone dumbfounded.
They were boxes filled with rare treasures, including rare night-shining pearls, which shone so brightly that they could illuminate the entire room in the dark.
There is a jade that is rare in a thousand years, smooth and flawless, and priceless;
There are also countless gold and silver jewelry with exquisite designs and superb craftsmanship.
There were mountains of silks and satins, each one made of top-quality material and with exquisite craftsmanship.
There are also large tracts of land deeds and house deeds in prosperous areas. The number and scope of them are staggering.
This generous dowry demonstrated Ruo Fufeng's extreme importance to Chao Yao, and also amazed everyone present.
As the night deepened, the guests gradually dispersed and the Ruo Mansion gradually returned to peace.
However, this luxurious wedding has become a long-lasting topic of conversation among people, and has also made the relationships within the Ruo family even more complicated and subtle.
Does Chaoyao care?
No.
Of course she doesn't care.
I went through so much trouble just to hope that the two of them could be together legitimately.
Now that we're together, who cares what people outside say?
If we were to say who suffered the most in their marriage, it would definitely be Wen Wei.
The Wan family was exiled, and Wan Shuning and others could not survive.
After seeing what happened to the Wen family, the Liu family, and the Wan family, who would dare to provoke them?
Wen Wei, who was far away in the frontier and could not come back, received an anonymous letter the day after their wedding.
Ruo Fufeng deliberately wrote the letter, and then asked Chao Yao to send it using magic without anyone else knowing.
He just wanted to show off.
no other meaning.
When Wen Wei received this anonymous letter in the military camp, he was returning from training with a group of soldiers.
He was sweaty and exhausted, but when he saw the unfamiliar handwriting on the envelope, a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
After opening the letter and quickly reading it, Wen Wei's face turned pale in an instant.
He clenched the letter paper tightly in his hands, his knuckles turned white from the force, and veins on his forehead bulged.
"Ruo Fufeng, you villain!"
Wen Wei roared in anger, his voice echoing in the empty military camp.
The soldiers around him all looked at him curiously, but seeing Wen Wei's extremely angry expression, they did not dare to step forward to ask.
Wen Wei's chest heaved violently, and his eyes seemed to be spewing fire.
Thinking that Chao Yao actually married Ruo Fufeng while he himself was suffering in this desolate frontier, anger and resentment mixed together in his heart.
"I will never let you go!"
Wen Wei said with gritted teeth, crumpled the letter in his hand into a ball and threw it to the ground.
He paced back and forth in the tent, his mind in a mess.
His past feelings for Chao Yao, his jealousy towards Ruo Fufeng, and his helplessness about his own situation were all tangled in his heart like a tangled mess.
At night, Wen Wei sat alone outside the tent, looking at the bright moon in the sky, his heart full of resentment.
He secretly vowed to make Ruo Fufeng and Chao Yao pay the price for showing off today.
In the days that followed, Wen Wei trained even harder. He transformed all his anger into strength and performed more and more bravely in the army.
He looked forward to returning to the capital one day to compete with Ruo Fufeng.
Five years later, Wen Wei finally got the chance to return to Beijing. Along the way, he was thinking about how to take revenge on Ruo Fufeng and make him taste the pain.
Just after returning to the capital, before he had time to go home, Wen Wei learned from the gossip on the streets that Chao Yao and Ruo Fufeng already had four sons and two daughters. The family was happy, and the Ruo family was thriving under Ruo Fufeng's management.
This news hit Wen Wei's heart like a heavy hammer, making the anger in his heart burn even more vigorously.
In the court, Wen Wei knelt down in front of all the ministers and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask. I want to challenge Ruo Fufeng of the Ruo family to a duel!"
The emperor frowned slightly and asked, "Wen Wei, why do you want to compete with Ruo Fufeng?"
Wen Wei gnashed his teeth and replied, "Your Majesty, if Fufeng goes too far, I will not be able to swallow this anger!"
The emperor looked at the ministers standing beside him and asked, "My dear ministers, what do you think about this?"
The ministers looked at each other and did not dare to speak easily.
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "I need to think about this matter. You can leave first."
Wen Wei was unwilling to give up, and continued: "Your Majesty, I beg you to grant my wish!"
The emperor was a little impatient: "I said I would consider it, please stop pestering me!"
Helpless, Wen Wei had to retreat.
Afterwards, Wen Wei used various means and finally made the emperor agree to his request.
On the appointed day, the streets of the capital were crowded with onlookers.
Wen Wei, dressed in a tight outfit and holding a long sword, shouted at Ruo Fufeng: "Ruo Fufeng, today is the day you die!"
