Ning Yuting released Chu Qingyue and gently kissed her, saying softly, “I want to show you something.”

Chu Qingyue blinked curiously, “What is it?”

“Come with me.” Ning Yuting took Chu Qingyue’s hand and led her out of the room.

In the courtyard, the ground was covered with lanterns shaped like peonies, hibiscuses, lotuses, and dozens of other flowers, each with a candle lit inside. At first glance, it looked like a sea of flowers, breathtakingly beautiful.

Chu Qingyue was stunned by the sight, having never seen anything so beautiful.

Ning Yuting asked expectantly, “Do you like it?”

Chu Qingyue nodded and smiled sweetly, “I love it. Yuting, thank you for doing all this for me.”

Ning Yuting turned to her, holding her hand affectionately, “You’re my wife. Anything I do for you is what I should be doing. You don’t need to thank me.”

Touched, Chu Qingyue tiptoed to kiss Ning Yuting and shyly called him, “Husband.”

Ning Yuting felt a thrill run through him, “You haven’t eaten all day. Let’s have something to eat.”

Blushing, Chu Qingyue nodded softly.

Ning Yuting led Chu Qingyue to the room next to their bridal chamber, where a table full of dishes had already been prepared.

They sat opposite each other.

Ning Yuting served Chu Qingyue a bowl of soup, “Have some soup first to warm up your stomach.”

“Okay.” Chu Qingyue took the bowl and sipped the soup.

Ning Yuting then served her a bowl of rice, “Eat slowly. We won’t be disturbed anymore.”

“Don’t you need to entertain the guests outside?”

“I’ve already taken care of it. My grandfather will handle the rest. I just need to be with you.”

Chu Qingyue smiled bashfully, “Okay.”

After dinner, they returned to the bridal chamber, which was filled with festive items like peanuts, longans, and red dates, and two large red candles burning, casting a warm glow on their faces.

Ning Yuting led Chu Qingyue to the dressing table, “Qingyue, let me help you remove your jewelry. Just sit here.”

“Alright.” Chu Qingyue watched their reflection in the mirror, her heart filled with anticipation and nervousness for what was to come.

Ning Yuting gently removed all of Chu Qingyue’s hair ornaments and combed her hair.

He then rested his chin on her shoulder, looking at their reflection, and unexpectedly said, “We truly are a match made in heaven…”

Chu Qingyue was amused. “How narcissistic.”

“This is called confidence.” Ning Yuting smiled and carried Chu Qingyue to the bed. “Qingyue, we should go to bed.”

Chu Qingyue buried her face in Ning Yuting’s arms. She was extremely nervous.

Ning Yuting placed Chu Qingyue on the bed and whispered into her ear, “I will be very gentle.”

Chu Qingyue turned into a cooked shrimp, her entire body turning red.

Looking at his wife’s reaction, Ning Yuting was even more tempted. He kissed her gently.

At the Chu Residence.

Everyone was waiting in the front hall.

Li Qingyu hurried up to Chu Rong and the others as they returned, “How was the wedding banquet? Did everything go well?”

Chu Rong nodded, “It went smoothly. The Ning family treated Qingyue very well, no neglect at all. You can be at ease.”

Li Qingyu sighed in relief, “That’s good.”

Chu Rong asked, “Have you all eaten?”

“We have. We were just waiting here to ask about Qingyue’s situation.”

“It’s all good.”

“That’s a relief. Let’s rest then.”

At the Ning Residence.

Chu Qingyue woke up early, but she didn’t want to move. She turned to look at Ning Yuting’s side profile and couldn’t help but smile.

It was like a dream. She was already married!

Ning Yuting felt her gaze and opened his eyes slightly, drawing her into his embrace, “Why are you awake so early?”

“It just happened naturally. Maybe I’m too excited.”

“Sleep a bit more.”

“No need, I should get up early to pay respects to your grandfather and make a good impression.”

Ning Yuting kissed Chu Qingyue and comforted her, “Grandfather is very fond of me and easy to get along with. He likes you too, don’t worry.”

Chu Qingyue nodded earnestly, “I will be as filial to him as you are.”

“Okay.”

The couple got up, dressed, and Ning Yuting took Chu Qingyue to his grandfather’s courtyard.

After Chu Qingyue offered tea, she received a generous red envelope, “Thank you, grandfather.”

Grandpa Ning smiled kindly, “Qingyue, you are now the young madam of the Ning family. You should start learning how to manage the household.”

Learning to manage the household meant that she was recognized by the family. Chu Qingyue felt a little pressured, but she was more happy. “Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll learn well.”

“Grandpa believes you.” Grandpa Ning smiled. “Yuting, bring Qingyue back to rest. You don’t have to work hard these few days. Give Qingyue some time to adapt.”

“Yes, Grandpa.”

Ning Yuting took Chu Qingyue back to their courtyard.

Breakfast was already arranged, and before they ate, a maid brought a bowl of medicinal cuisine, “Young Madam, this is for you to have.”

The medicinal cuisine was a porridge with many precious herbs, which the women of the Ning family drank every morning for their health.

Chu Qingyue sniffed it, noticing a herbal scent but not too strong, and ate it.

Ning Yuting also had a bowl and said, “Qingyue, rest well after breakfast. You don’t need to do anything today.”

Chu Qingyue nodded shyly.

At the Chu Residence.

Chu Xuyuan seemed a bit down, “With second sister married, it feels quieter.”

Chu Xuyao handed him a bun, “Eat up, we have a gathering with our senior brothers later.”

The scholars always found reasons to gather, and these meetings hadn’t stopped for the last few days. Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao were joining them to gain experience. The two brothers, handsome and personable, adapted well in these settings.

They quickly finished eating and told their family before heading out.

Not long after, Chu Xu jin and Ge Lihua also left for the Ministry of Justice, continuing their studies with Ren Buqing.

Chu Qingning also left the house and went to the volunteer clinic.

Chu Qingshuang and Yang Zhenzhen had planned to visit the porcelain garden, which housed all types of ceramics from the Daling dynasty, a perfect place for Chu Qingshuang to explore her interest in ceramics.

Chu Qingyan also left, having been requested for her makeup services.

Chu Qingzhi took Chu Xuhua and Shen Ruyue out for networking, as their business had expanded to the capital, making connections with local merchants essential.

The day before, a group of businessmen, including Zhou Xiangfu, had organized a gathering and invited Chu Qingzhi. It was a perfect opportunity for Chu Xuhua.

One by one, everyone left the house..
