Chapter 1329 The Big White Goose
"Alright! Got it! Zi Xia, why are you so jittery for a girl who hasn't married yet?"
Xuexue teased her, but honestly, she was touched. In both her past and present life, this girl had been loyally by her side.
Especially in her past life, she had even lost her life for Xuexue. So, in this life, she had to treat her doubly well.
She owed it to her past life — the life Zi Xia sacrificed for her.
"Miss, please don't get annoyed. With madam gone, there's no one to teach you etiquette. I'm afraid you might make a faux pas at the War Prince's Mansion and become a laughingstock, so I specially consulted some experienced old maid and came back to tell you. Although these are all common rituals, please don't be upset. Everyone has to go through this step."
"The War Prince is so sick he can't even get out of bed. Do you really think he can help lift my veil?"
"Well...!"
Zi Xia was immediately stumped.
The maid who just walked in also added, "Yeah! Miss, do you know what is coming to replace the Prince for the wedding?"
Xuexue's voice came from under the red veil, "What's it? Surely it's not a rooster, right?"
In her past life, she had heard of such things. It was said that when the groom was critically ill, to hasten the recovery, they would bring a woman back for a joyous wedding. During the ceremony, since the groom was too sick to attend, a big rooster would serve as his substitute for the marriage ceremony.
The maid shook her head, "It's not that."
"Oh! That's a relief."
Xuexue breathed a sigh of relief; she certainly didn't want to marry a rooster.
"It's a big white goose."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Xuexue couldn't help but scream. Is this a joke? Using a big white goose to marry her.
What is that guy Long Rui up to? Is he itching for trouble?
Without saying a word, he pulls this stunt.
At this moment, Xuexue was in turmoil, almost losing her usual composure.
Upon hearing this, Zi Xia was also stunned; she had never heard of using a big white goose as a substitute in a wedding ceremony. What was the War Prince thinking? Was he deliberately trying to embarrass the Miss?
Zi Xia was a bit at a loss, "Miss, what should we do now?"
After a long pause, Xuexue steadied her mind, "What can I do? The wedding sedan is already at the door. Backing out now is impossible."
Saying this, she extended her fair and slender hand towards Zi Xia.
Zi Xia understood that Miss was ready to go out to the sedan chair.
Indeed, with the wedding procession from the War Prince's Mansion already at the door, all they could do now was head out to the sedan chair.
And so, amidst the clamor and excitement, Xuexue boarded the sedan chair and was carried off to the War Prince's Mansion with great fanfare.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Xuexue looked at the honking white goose beside her and felt an urge to strangle it.
Dammit, she's so beautiful, yet she's marrying a big white goose?
She believed that after today, she'd become the laughingstock of the entire Capital again.
Damn Long Rui, what's he up to this time?
Fuming with anger, Xuexue sat in the bridal chamber, convinced she would see Long Rui tonight. That guy just loved to act. Back in Mo Family Village, he had regained his memory but pretended to be a fool, deceiving her terribly.
Earlier in the hall, during the wedding ceremony, the nearby white goose kept honking, which frustrated her to no end. If she hadn't controlled herself, she would have stomped that bastard to death.
Xuexue's bridal chamber was in the west wing room, while Madam Wang's quarters were in the East Wing Room. Their residences were far apart, and they would never meet unless someone deliberately sought the other out.
