Chapter 647 - 645 I’m Still Your Son-in-law
Wang Yongzhu, because the old woman was sitting beside her, felt too embarrassed to move recklessly. After sitting for such a long time, her legs felt numb.
Finally, when Song Chongjin came to lift the bridal veil, she immediately jumped down from the edge of the bed, pounding her waist with her hands while grumbling, "Getting married is really exhausting. How much did you pay that old lady? She’s too devoted to her job! Every time I move, she lectures me, saying it’s improper and unladylike, and goes as far as to claim it brings bad luck to the family peace and will lead to no good fortune for future generations. She blames everything on me!"
Wang Yongzhu was genuinely scared; apart from Old Granny Zhang, this woman had the most formidable nagging she had ever encountered.
Although she didn’t really believe in all that, she couldn’t stand the old woman’s lectures, which gave her a headache. So she just had to endure it.
But just sitting there was also boring; she couldn’t move her body, but surely there was no harm in moving her mouth a bit, right?
Chatting with the old woman, she actually did hear a lot of useful gossip. After a while, the old woman even started to think well of the bride, praising how she could hold her composure and was obedient and well-behaved, not moving when told not to.
Song Chongjin paused for a moment, a glimmer of darkness flashing in his eyes as he walked over to Wang Yongzhu without a sound, "Yongzhu, you’ve worked hard! Lay down, and I’ll press on you a bit to help circulate your meridians."
His tone was utterly serious, yet the tips of his ears couldn’t help but turn red.
Wang Yongzhu didn’t think much of it and just waved her hand, "Get something to eat first; I’m starving! If I had known, I would have listened to my mother and packed some snacks in my purse to tide me over."
She regretted it immensely; ever since she entered the bridal chamber with that old woman around, she couldn’t even move, much less sneak a bite.
While speaking, she started looking for food in the room. She began with the peanuts, longans, and red dates she had spotted while under her bridal veil on the bed, now covered with a festive red wedding quilt, and grabbed them into her hand.
