Everything was ready. When the auspicious time arrives, Chu Mu was ready to welcome his relatives and meet the elders.

“The Eldest Young Master is so good looking. Red and gold crown suits him, the whole person is so energetic!”

“I also seem to wants such a groom”

“It’s a pity, the legs can’t walk and can’t get a horse to pick up the bride, so he have to take a carriage…”

Along the way, the girls who were secretly hiding behind the pillars kept whispering.

In the main hall, the Old Matriarch Li smiles lovingly and told her daughter-in-law Madam Su whose lips trembled slightly and eyes were red, to stop making a fuss.

Second Aunt Sun gave a box to Madam Su: “Sister-in-law, Muer’s marriage is a happy event, don’t be unwilling. The old saying goes, ‘Today he married the next step is to establish a career. He will have a happy and long life so you don’t cry!”

As soon as the words fell, the whole hall suddenly fell into silence.

Whether aunt Sun was persuading or trying to convince herself, it can be perceive by the people in the hall.

The crowd around filled with sadness, the body like eldest young master…was there any chance to start a career?

Just live well!

Chu Mu looked at the Su Clan, his voice was not fast nor slow, like a spring breeze: “The second aunt is right, mother, your son marries his wife today, and he will be peaceful and would have a wonderful life in the future, with or without your blessings the wedding will continue even if you don’t want to”

It was weird to hear same meaning but different sentences. It may be insincere or ridicule, and may stir everyone’s emotions, no one will take it seriously. Chu Mu was the only person who knew the true meaning behind his words.

Just like how he was like a proud son of heaven, unparalleled noble, has unlimited ability and he will surely honor his words.

After the ceremony Chu Mu leaves his wheelchair, ready to mount the carriage. Standing outside the icy wind whirled around, the corners of his clothes and hair blew with the wind.

Snow fell on his feet and was quickly covered in red.

“Zong—Zi—Ying—Qin“

The moment he left the house, the old butler stood aside full of breath and solemnly shouted these four words, long and far away.

The robust welcoming team was blown by the cold wind mixed with snow flakes, but still enthusiastically sprinkled the money at the Xie’s entrance.

Whispered could also be heard outside the Xie’s house like how the bridegroom ‘supported his sick body’ and ‘forces his self to smile’, while he was knocking on the door on his wheelchair.

And even if they pity Chu Mu no one dared to stop him.

No one would fared to stop him, in the face of money.

The maid of the Xie family looked at the broken silver thrown over and their eyes were full jealousy.

*As if what kind of gate was going to stop him?

When other family got married, a basket of copper coins was already generous. But for Chu Mu, silver was a must, since he has a lot of money and had nowhere to spend it, then why not scatter it to the Xie’s manor to show his sincerity to his bride.

When the words reached the back courtyard, Madam Lin was surprised: “The Chu Family… values Xie Tingyue so much?”

“It not necessarily that he valued the second young master but worried about the Chu family’s young master, *who can’t stand the loss” Wang Momo answered cautiously.

Madam Lin pressed the corner of her mouth, her smile was cold: “The Chu family wanted to use this matter against us.”

“Who said so?” Wang Momo graciously massage Lin’s shoulder “But think of it again Madam, we didn’t suffer a loss. I heard that a few boxes were carried as betrothal gifts but in my opinion how can the Chu family’s dying cripple be worthy of such luxury? It should be them showing off their face and if it weren’t for you how can they even have someone marry their crippled and dying eldest young master?”
