Chapter 3: Marriage
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Su Jin’s marriage.
During these four days, Su Jin didn’t even know which way the main gate of the Marquis Dongxiang’s mansion faced. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to go out, but she couldn’t.
The Iron Armor Guards of the Duke Zhen Country Mansion had not withdrawn, and they still surrounded the Marquis Dongxiang’s mansion tightly. However, compared to before, they allowed people to go in and out, but these people definitely did not include Su Jin.
Su Jin, who was about to get married, avoided confronting them directly. If the people from the Duke Zhen Country Mansion came and told her to be closely watched to prevent the future Eldest Young Madam from going out to snatch men, how was she supposed to maintain a smile?
Furthermore, Marquis Dongxiang and Mrs. Tang were busy preparing the dowry for her, working tirelessly. How could Su Jin bear to trouble them more for her sake? It was only four days; they would soon pass.
Although it was rushed, all the rituals that should accompany a wedding were there. The Emperor retracted the imperial decree bestowing the marriage and also gifted a phoenix crown and wedding robe.
The heavy phoenix crown made Su Jin’s neck ache nearly before leaving the Marquis Dongxiang’s mansion. Not to mention being tossed around in the bridal sedan, getting dizzy, and being hit with rotten eggs, making her unable to vomit even if she wanted to.
Su Jin simply used a silver needle to prick herself into unconsciousness, lying in the sedan chair where she couldn’t see anything.
The consequence of making herself faint was that when the sedan reached the Duke Zhen Country Mansion, the sound of trumpets and firecrackers was deafening, and the wedding maid called for her to get out of the sedan three times, but Su Jin was unaware.
The wedding maid lifted the sedan curtain and saw her leaning against one side, with the playful mandarin ducks bridal veil falling to the ground. This scared the wedding maid into thinking Su Jin had taken her own life, but after carefully checking her breath, found she was merely asleep.
The wedding maid’s mouth twitched hard; this girl from the mountains was indeed different. Marrying into a family with a dying eldest young master, she could still sleep soundly in the bridal sedan. You had to respect her as a tough character.
