Chapter 249: Husband and Wife

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ah Wei was born on a stormy night. The year he was born, there was a drought in the clan and many people starved to death. His father was a very powerful Gu Master. He brought everyone to find a water source and finally, they found it one day. Some people could not wait to jump into the water, but they forgot that it was a real lake that was bottomless. In order to save someone, his father sank to the bottom of the lake and his father never swam up again.

Everyone in the clan said that his father was a good person. However, this good person left him and his mother as they live a starving life.

Mom was also a good person. She often helped people who had a worse life than her. However, when she broke the clan rules because of an accident, none of the people she helped came out to help her.

When he grew up, he secretly took a fancy to a girl in the clan. The girl said to him, “Ah Wei, you’re a good person. Unfortunately, I can’t marry you.”

So, what was the use of being a good person? It will only benefit others while he suffers. Only a fool wanted to be a good person. He killed his first person when he was twenty! He wanted to be a villain in the entire family, no, the most heinous villain in the world!

“Ah Wei, my roof is leaking. Can you come over and help me fix it?” Next door, Aunt Zhang said at the top of her lungs.

Ah Wei jumped off the bed in a second. “Coming!”

The night was dark and the wind was strong. The spies from the Young Master Manor in the Capital were almost all out to search for Yu Wan. Yan Jiuchao took a carriage to a forest in the suburbs of the east of the city. This was the last place Shadow Thirteen saw Yan Huaijing.

Shadow Thirteen stopped the carriage on a small path in the grass and split up with Shadow Six to scout the way. It was almost dawn. With their understanding of Yan Huaijing, he would most likely send Yu Wan out of the Capital after the city gate opened. Then that would be difficult to find. They had to snatch Yu Wan back from Yan Huaijing before dawn, but to their disappointment, they did not notice any traces of Yan Huaijing coming after searching around.

The two of them changed to another place to search. The two of them returned to the carriage, intending to report the plan to Yan Jiuchao. Unexpectedly, the moment Shadow Thirteen lifted the curtain, he saw his Young Master… and the Young Madam lying in his arms.

Shadow Thirteen was dumbfounded. “Uh… what happened?”

Yan Jiuchao: “I want to know too.”

He was just sitting in the carriage waiting for news when suddenly, a shadow descended from the sky. With an invincible force, he threw a woman into his arms. He did not even see what the other party looked like before he disappeared into the night without looking back.

From the back, it was a man.

No matter what, Yu Wan was found safe and sound. The group returned to the Capital. They had worked for half the night, when they arrived at the Young Master Manor, it was already late at night. Yu Wan’s sleeping acupoint had long been unlocked, but she was still sleeping soundly because she was exhausted.

On the red bed in the wedding room, the little munchkins cried for Yu Wan. They cried for half the night before they fell asleep. There were still tears on their faces. Uncle Wan stood by the side with his head hanging down. He was also tired.

Shadow Thirteen patted Uncle Wan’s shoulder.

Uncle Wan opened his eyes and was shocked. “Young Master?”

Yan Jiuchao gestured for him to go back to his room to rest with his eyes. Uncle Wan looked at him and then at Yu Wan in his arms. He suppressed his urge to ask for details and quietly left.

Shadow Thirteen helped Yan Jiuchao settle down before turning to leave the room and closing the door for the two of them.

Yan Jiuchao put Yu Wan down. Yu Wan was woken up as soon as she touched the bed. She widened her eyes and looked at Yan Jiuchao for a long time. After confirming that she was not dreaming, she said in shock, “I’m back?”

She said “I’m back”. Suddenly, Yan Jiuchao felt that the Young Master Manor was his home.

“Yes, you’re back,” Yan Jiuchao said softly.

Yu Wan reached out to touch them. Indeed, she touched three furry little heads. She smiled happily and leaned over to kiss each of their foreheads. It was good to be back!

Looking at her overjoyed expression, a rare trace of gentleness flashed across Yan Jiuchao’s cold eyes.

Yu Wan thought of something and looked around. “Where’s Ah Wei? Ah Wei saved me!”

Yan Jiuchao had heard of this person. Xu Shao had once sent a sacrificial soldier to Lotus Flower Village to assassinate Yu Wan. It was this young man who had just moved into Lotus Flower Village and lived in the Zhao family’s old residence who had killed the sacrificial soldier in time. That time, he happened to see it. He wondered how he found Yu Wan this time.

Yu Wan’s sleeping acupoint was tapped by Ah Wei, but she did not know herself. She thought that she had fainted from excitement. Yan Jiuchao thought that it was Yan Huaijing who did it and did not ask for the details, in case Yu Wan misunderstood that he was suspecting her innocence.

Yu Wan took the initiative to talk about her innocence. “Is there anything you want to ask? For example, who captured me? What did they do to me?”

Yan Jiuchao stroked her temples. “No need. It’s good that you’re back.”

This fellow usually liked to go crazy, but at the critical moment, he could warm one’s heart. All the sweet words combined could not compare to this “It’s good that you’re back”.

Yu Wan smiled and looked at him deeply. “Yan Jiuchao.”

“Yes?”

“Are we… considered married? We didn’t go through the ceremony, nor did we drink the nuptial wine.”

“You want to have the ceremony?”

Yu Wan lowered her eyes and nodded slightly. She had only waited for this once in two lifetimes. She did not know what it felt like to have it all end. It was said that life needed a sense of ritual. She had missed the two largest rituals in her life—marriage and childbirth.

Her nose felt a little sore.

Yan Jiuchao held her hand. “Follow me.”

Yu Wan’s gaze landed on his lap. “Can you… walk?”

Although her blood could fight poison with poison, it would only temporarily suppressed the poison in his lower limbs. It was still a little inconvenient for him to move.

Yan Jiuchao pulled over a wheelchair and used his hand to support himself. Yu Wan walked behind him and pushed him.

The moonlight shone in coldly, sprinkling clear light on the ground. When they passed by the table, Yan Jiuchao picked up the veil on the table. Yu Wan understood and bent down, letting him put it on himself. Then, Yu Wan also picked up the silk flower on the table and fumbled with it to tie it around his chest.

“Where are we going?” Yu Wan asked.

“Move forward,” Yan Jiuchao said.

One was looking in the direction, and the other was pushing a wheelchair. The night wind blew slowly, and the fragrance of gardenias wafted over.

“We’re here,” Yan Jiuchao reminded her.

Yu Wan stopped, walked around the wheelchair, and slowly pushed open the door. Ever since he couldn’t walk, the threshold of each room had been boarded. Yu Wan pushed him in.

There was an altar lamp in the room. The light was not bright, but it was not weak and yellow. It gave off a heavy and ancient feeling.

“It’s my father’s memorial tablet.” Yan Jiuchao pulled her hand and pointed in the direction of the table. Then, Yan Jiuchao stood up with difficulty and handed the end of the red silk to her.

The two of them turned to the door.

First bow to the heavens.

They turned to the memorial tablet again.

Second bow to the parents.

The two of them faced each other, grabbed the same red silk, and bowed deeply.

From now on, she was his wife and he was her husband.

Yu Wan held his hand. His palm was covered in sweat, and it was obvious that he had reached his limit. She helped him back into the wheelchair and pushed him back to the bridal room. more than half of the dragon and phoenix candles had been lit. Wax flowed down like bright red virgin blood. He took off her veil and the two of them drank the wine under the candlelight.

Yu Wan’s cheeks were red. It was unknown if it was because she was drunk… or because her heart was hot.

Yan Jiuchao was not any better than her. His heart was beating violently, and his breathing had become rapid. His eyes were burning as if a ball of fire had lit up.

They clearly had children, but they still felt that it was the first time in their lives. The two of them were at a loss.

Yan Jiuchao’s throat moved as he raised his hand to lower the curtain. Yu Wan lowered her head shyly and unbuttoned one of his buttons. He saw that her hand was trembling slightly.

“Are you nervous?” He asked, even though his voice was trembling.

Yu Wan’s cheeks burned even more. She suppressed her shyness and leaned against him.

Their breaths were entangled. Just as they were about to kiss, the two of them suddenly sensed something and paused in unison. They blinked their eyes and slowly turned their heads in the same direction. They saw that the three little lads had woken up at some point and were looking at them with wide black eyes and a confused expression.

The two of them choked and moved back at the same time.

The little munchkins looked at Yan Jiuchao strangely, then at Yu Wan strangely, and frowned.

The three of them crawled into Yu Wan’s arms and hugged her neck with their little hands. They turned around and glared fiercely at their father, as if they were announcing that Yu Wan was theirs and their father was not allowed to touch her!

Young Master Yan, whose sons had snatched his bride: “…”

Yu Wan “disappeared” for an entire day without a word, making the little munchkins feel wronged. The little munchkins leaned into Yu Wan’s arms and acted coquettishly, asking for ten big kisses. They kissed until a certain young master’s face turned green before they finally yawned satisfactorily and continued to sleep in Yu Wan’s arms.

Yu Wan hugged them for a long time. After confirming that they had fallen asleep and could not be woken up no matter what, she called the nanny to carry them back to her room.

“Should we… continue?” Yu Wan asked. Some feelings were gone once they were interrupted. Yu Wan was not sure if he was still interested.

Yan Jiuchao said nothing.

Yu Wan was extremely embarrassed. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have asked. It would make her look like she was being anxious. She was clearly helping him detoxify.

“Go to sleep.” Yan Jiuchao pulled the blanket over and lay down.

He-he laid down just like that?! After a woman asked him if he wanted to continue, was there a response that hurt her pride more than this? Yu Wan was almost angered to death by him!

“You…” Yu Wan hesitated.

Forget it, so be it. Who cared about such a thing! Yu Wan lay down angrily with her back facing him.

There were birds chirping outside the house. It was getting light. Yu Wan was so angry that her heart ached.

“…It’s not that I don’t want to,” Yan Jiuchao said, his voice hoarse and forbearing.

Yu Wan’s ears pricked up, and she heard him take a deep breath. He said shyly, “You… you can’t have sexual intercourse in the day.”

Yu Wan’s eyes widened as she looked at the window paper that was gradually becoming brighter. Because of this, she could not continue to consummate the marriage with him? To hell with no sexual intercourse in the day!

Yu Wan turned around, grabbed his wrist, and pressed him under her.
