Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 386 - 385: Have a Drink

The half-drunk groom nodded, indicating his agreement.

Ye Zhi rolled her eyes, knowing that Ye Lin dared to act this way because Brother Zhao wouldn’t report him.

She spoke brightly, "Brother Zhao, it’s time to return to your room."

Zhao Jun looked as if he had seen a savior, his eyes sparkling, and nodded in response on the spot.

Clad in a red robe, he left with a dashing demeanor, as if he’d taken nothing away with him.

Ye Lin was a bit puzzled, did he leave just like that? Without having a few more drinks?

"Do you still want to drink? Then I’ll drink with you."

A little girl’s eerie voice sounded, and anyone with a bit of sense could hear the ill intention.

Ye Lin didn’t dare to drink with his sister and immediately refused, returning to the table with a downcast look.

Huanhuan had just lost her way and wasn’t familiar with Zhao Mansion yet. She took a wrong turn before returning and by the time she landed gracefully and stood firm, everything had ended, and the groom had already returned to his room.

The two little girls, having played all day, were quite hungry and made their way to the Lingbo Fairy’s table to satiate their hunger.

Ah Tao and Ming Yan had already finished eating and were sitting in their seats.

Ye Zhi asked Ah Tao to call the Little Fairy over to eat, guessing she might be waiting in her room for her and Huanhuan to return.

"Alright, I’ll go right now." Ah Tao, feeling full and wanting to digest, happily ran off when instructed.

Ji Changzhou and Shen Chen were both gentle-natured and didn’t engage in the bridal chamber teasing.

With no one to accompany him, Ye Lin naturally didn’t go either.

Xun Yin, Gu Yan, and other elders had no interest in these activities of the young people.

So, tonight, no one disturbed Zhao Jun and Lu He, making things simpler.

In no time, Ah Tao brought Qinglian over.

The three girls, who hadn’t started their meal yet, began to eat at the Lingbo Fairy’s table.

Ye Zhi didn’t show any sign of being spoiled; she ate and drank with grace and poise.

Inside the bridal chamber.

After Zhao Jun arrived, the Ye Family spoke some auspicious words: "May your mutual respect be everlasting, may you soar together; with many children and long life..."

Then she, along with Yun Xiu, retreated.

The night was dark under the moon, as the chill of winter began to set in, bringing a biting cold through the air.

After a whole day of ceremonies and banquets, the two quietly sat together, feeling utterly content.

Zhao Jun lifted the bride’s red veil, and under the candlelight, the bride’s elegant and charming face came into view, with her delicate eyebrows, dark hair, and her beautiful face beneath the red makeup looking quite stunning.

The two murmured a few words.

They then drank the nuptial wine together, symbolizing eternal unity and shared honor and disgrace as husband and wife.

With silk covers, they united as one under the heavens, sharing the longest pillow.

The lights inside the room went out, leaving clouds and rain behind...

...

Outside, the Ye Family, having already dismissed Yun Xiu, watched alone at the courtyard gate until the lights inside the room went out, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

For some reason, she thought of Xiao Yan, Lu He’s mother.

If Xiao Yan knew in her afterlife, she would surely rest in peace.

The Ye Family walked along the corridor, stepping into the open space, gazing up at the dimly lit moon hanging high up, feeling quite emotional: "Xiao Yan, Lu He is finally settled now. I see Zhao Jun as a good person, which is why I arranged for them to be together."

"Lu He has also been acknowledged by the Gu Family. However, they claimed to have no niece named Lu He. Rest assured, I have taken her as my own daughter. As long as the Ye Mansion stands, she will be safe and sound."

The Ye Family silently gazed at the bright moon for a while before leaving.

The rarest thing in this world is a bond that transcends blood relations. This moment, she achieved it.

Treating the daughter of her departed friend as her own daughter.

Simply because she never forgot her friend named Gu Yan.
