Chapter 195 The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber

"Time to lead them to the bridal chamber!"

The house was noisy, and many villagers had brought their children.

Wen Li had just taken a step with the two unmarried girls when she suddenly heard a "smack" and her laughter stopped instantly.

They're here! They're here!

She suddenly panicked, as if the nightmare from last night was replaying before her eyes. However, her eyes were covered by the veil, and she couldn't see anything. She yanked off the veil, but there was nothing there.

There were no monsters, no soldiers, and certainly no Xie Wanzhou...

The laughter abruptly stopped, and all the guests stared at her in astonishment, their smiles frozen on their faces, filled with confusion...

Second Master ran to her feet and looked at her with concern.

"what happened?"

Shen Yingsi asked her in a low voice. Wen Li avoided his gaze, lowered her head, and knew that she had made a mistake.

She whispered, "I heard a noise, I thought..."

Shen Yingsi patted her head reassuringly, "It's okay, nothing will happen, trust me."

The guests nearby snapped out of their daze, and one of them hurriedly explained, "Oh dear, it was my little girl who accidentally dropped the teapot. Xiao Jiang, Xiao Shen, I'm so sorry. I'll definitely scold her when we get back, and we'll definitely pay for the teapot."

Wen Li lowered her head, and Shen Yingsi bent down to look her in the eye: "It's just that the teapot broke, it's nothing serious. Everyone here is here to wish us well, it's very safe here."

Seeing that Shen Yingsi ignored them, the woman tugged at her daughter's ear and scolded, "I told you to behave, but you wouldn't listen. Look, you've scared the bride! Apologize to her right now!"

The little girl lowered her head, bowed, and apologized, "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't mean to."

Shen Yingsi ignored the mother and daughter's apologies; he seemed to only see Wen Li, and he gently comforted her.

Wen Li looked up at the little girl who was apologizing to her. She remembered that this little girl liked to praise her for being pretty and would share cakes with the Second Master.

Seeing that the other person looked nervous and uneasy, she forced a smile and comforted her, "It's okay, I'm just too nervous."

Shen Yingsi straightened up, glanced coldly at the mother and daughter, and said in a tone devoid of emotion, "It was just a little incident, everyone. Please continue."

After saying that, he bent down and asked, "Ali, do you want to go back to your room first? There's food prepared in the room, you and your friends can go and eat together."

Wen Li nodded and turned to leave with the two girls.

Seeing Wen Li leave, for some reason, the atmosphere immediately eased, and everyone started chatting and laughing again.

But some people were so blind as to shout, "It's bad luck for the bride to lift her own veil!"

Shen Yingsi turned around and glanced at the person who spoke, his eyes filled with contempt, his usual gentle demeanor gone.

He stared at the man and repeated, "It's just a minor incident, everyone please continue."

……

Wen Li sat in the room, unable to swallow the delicious food on the table.

The two little girls accompanying her, however, were eating voraciously, their cheeks bulging out.

The person next to him said, "Xunzhi, eat quickly."

"Yes, Xunzhi, eat quickly. We live in a small town, so we don't have many rules of etiquette to follow. Don't worry."

Wen Li nodded, picked up two pieces of meat and put them in Second Master's rice bowl, and ate a few bites herself.

"Xunzhi, come find us in a few days, and we'll take you up the mountain to pick tea."

Will there be many people?

"Of course, everyone goes, it's very lively."

"That's fine."

After finishing the meal and tidying everything up, she told the two girls to go back, and then lay down on the bed and unconsciously fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes again, Shen Yingsi was already sitting next to her, just looking at her.

"woke up?"

"Well, wake up."

Wen Li got out of bed and looked out the window. It was already dark, and the guests outside had all left.

"Today I..."

"How did you sleep?"

Wen Li's self-reproachful words were interrupted. When Shen Yingsi asked her this question, she nodded.

"Slept very well."

"You didn't have a nightmare, did you?"

"No."

"That's great. Everything went smoothly today, just as we expected, right?"

"Correct."

"Then I'm very satisfied with today. You slept well again, which is rare. Today has exceeded my expectations."

Wen Li nodded when she heard him say that. She also felt that the wedding banquet was very satisfactory and everything went smoothly, didn't it?

Wen Li smiled.

Shen Yingsi grabbed her right hand, stuffed a pill into her hand, and said, "This medicine is to help treat your left hand."

Wen Li asked in surprise, "Can my left hand recover? But it's already..."

"Yes, Ali, there's nothing in this world that's impossible. Take this medicine, and slowly, your prosthetic hand will become real."

Wen Li stared at the small pill in her palm, knowing in her heart that this medicine must have been hard-won, and he must have paid a huge price behind her back.

She didn't dare ask where the medicine came from or how it was made; she silently swallowed the pill.

Just after swallowing the medicine, Wen Li was kissed on the lips. Before she could react, she was kissed again and again.

He asked, "Is it sweet?"

Wen Li answered groggily, "Sweet."

Shen Yingsi chuckled softly, his voice slightly breathless, "Ali, this medicine is sweet."

Wen Li asked in confusion, "Is this medicine sweet?"

Shen Yingsi's lips curled up, and he couldn't help but chuckle: "So, Ali thinks I'm sweet?"

After saying that, the kiss deepened, and Shen Yingsi cupped her face in his hands, stealing the air from her mouth.

Wen Li was gradually pushed onto the bed when she suddenly remembered something, pushed him away, and straightened up.

"what happened?"

Shen Yingsi looked at her, panting slightly, and asked in a hoarse voice, he couldn't stop. Wen Li probably didn't know how beautiful she was today, dressed in a fiery red wedding gown, her hair ornaments swaying incessantly, her cheeks flushed, her eyes filled with spring, like a delicate flower blooming in early spring.

"Child, Shen Yingsi, what if we get pregnant?"

Wen Li's eyes were filled with worry.

"Ali doesn't want to have a child with me?"

Wen Li shook her head and explained, "I'm afraid we won't be able to raise the child properly, and it's so dangerous right now. What if we can't protect him?"

"Besides, he's a person. You have to care for him and love him all the time. Can I really do that kind of unconditional giving and love? What if I just don't love this child?"

"Shen Yingsi, I simply cannot imagine what it would be like if there were a third person between us."

Shen Yingsi listened attentively to her worries, a smile playing on his lips. He smiled again; he was always smiling tonight, a captivating smile.

"Ah Li, your love for me is enough. We won't have children, and I don't like children."

How can you be so sure we won't have it?

“No ghost in this world is worthy of being reborn as our child, and I have already taken the sterilization pill.”

Sterilization? He's already taken sterilization pills? For her sake?

Wen Li looked closely at Shen Yingsi, and when he approached, she pushed him away, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"Shen Yingsi, are you going to lose everything because of me? You've lost your family, your friends, your position as crown prince, and even the chance to become a god. Now you won't even have a child."

"Will you suddenly regret it one day? You've given so much in this relationship, and it seems like I haven't done anything for you."

Wen Li suddenly felt very sad, and she kept pouring out all her worries.

Shen Yingsi wiped away her tears, his voice gentle, "How could you say you didn't give anything in return? You gave yourself to me."

Wen Li looked at him and listened quietly to what he had to say.

He said, "Wen Li, you are mine. You must let go of everything from the past, whether it's the Jiang family or the entire Three Realms. I don't want you to be distracted by anything else. I just want you to think of me wholeheartedly. Of course, to be fair, I am only yours too."

"You have to take responsibility for me."

She was filled with doubt: "Why?"

He replied, “Have you forgotten? You were the one who approached me first, poisoned me, encouraged me when you pushed me into Ghost Valley, and told me that you didn’t want me to die. For ten years in Ghost Valley, you gradually took over my heart, making me unable to think of anything else. You seduced me, I gave up so much for you, and you can only have me in your heart and eyes.”

"do you understand?"

Wen Li looked into his eyes, which seemed to draw her in. She nodded blankly and said, "I understand."

Shen Yingsi's lips came close again, and Wen Li's clothes had been undone at some point. She was falling into the trap he had carefully set.

She realized something.

Shen Yingsi's feelings for her were not selfless; others only wanted to gain something from her, but he wanted her whole being, including her heart.

She seems to have lost out a bit.
