Chapter 37 Do you want to murder your husband?

After the sedan arrived at Xiao's house, Xi Po opened the curtain and held Zhao Pan'er in her arms. Someone on the other side handed Zhao Pan'er a red silk to hold in her hand. Xiao Fan took the other end of the red silk and led her away from the sedan.

Xiao Fan and Zhao Pan'er walked to the lobby holding red silk hands. When Xiao Qinyan and Qian were sitting on the main seats, Xiao Qinyan's stern face was in sharp contrast to Qian's smiling face.

Zhao Paner was supported by Xi Po and stood in front of a red futon.

"The bride and groom, bow to heaven and earth——"

"The bride and groom, please pay your respects to the high hall——"

"Bride and groom, husband and wife bow to each other——"

"Sent to the bridal chamber——"

Finally, under the congratulations of all the guests, the two were escorted into the bridal chamber.

After entering the bridal chamber, the guests began to cheer and ask the bride to fan herself. Amidst the laughter of everyone, Zhao Paner shyly put down the round fan that was covering her face.

"The bride is so beautiful!"

"Guan Xiao is so lucky!"

"Good luck and good fortune, and a happy marriage for a hundred years!"

One after another, exclamations and blessings filled the entire bridal chamber.

Xipo guided the two of them to sit down beside the wedding bed, and then a group of maids went to the wedding bed to scatter copper coins, peanuts, longans, red dates, and lotus seeds, chanting while scattering them.

"Good luck and good fortune, and a happy marriage for a hundred years."

"The tent is spread to the east, and the curtains are deeply surrounded by red candle shadows. The good atmosphere is lush and everlasting, and the painting hall is filled with spring breeze every day."

"On the west side of the tent, brocade tassels hang down from the four corners. When you open it, you will see Chang'e's face, and the immortal man will catch the twigs."

"Spread the tent to the south, it's a good time to be happy and relaxed. The cool moon is good and the wind is cool, the house is refreshing, and both men wear embroidered belts."

"Spread the tent to the north, and enjoy a little color between the brows. The hibiscus tent warms the spring night, and Yue'e invites guests from the Toad Palace."

"On the tent, the mandarin ducks exchanged hands and formed two pairs. From now on, Ye Weixiong has a good dream and sees Li Zhu coming into his palm."

"In the tent, there is a pair of jade hibiscus in the moon. It feels like meeting a goddess tonight, with red clouds surrounding Wu Peak."

"Under the tent, I saw the Golden Light Club. I will have good luck tonight, and I will have a boy next year. The price will be determined."

"In front of the tent, the heavy mist is neither mist nor smoke. In the incense, the golden Qiu is reflected, and the golden flute meets the colorful orioles."

"After the tent is laid, the husband and wife will be harmonious and conservative. The husband will always sing and the wife will accompany him. Don't behave like a lion roaring from the east of the river."

After the maid finished scattering the dried fruits, Xi Po stepped forward and used scissors to cut off a strand of hair on each of their heads.

Then he tied their hair together with a red rope and said while tying it: "We will be united forever for generations to come!"

Finally, Xipo put the tied hair into a sandalwood box and handed it to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan put the wooden box away, turned around and stuffed it under the wedding quilt on the wedding bed.

Then Xipo took out two glasses of wine and tied the glasses together with a red rope and said, "If you make a cup of wine, it will always be good."

After the two drank and exchanged glasses of wine, Xiao Fan ordered the maid and mother-in-law to go down and receive the reward.

Just as he was about to take a good look at his bride, Ning Liheng ran over and grabbed him.

"Okay, okay, okay, hurry up, hurry up, we're done here, go out and have a toast, I have to get you drunk today."

"Yes, yes, brother, today is your big day, we have to keep you company."

"That's right, that's right!"

Xiao Fan didn't even have time to look back at the bride before he was swarmed by everyone and pulled out of the room.

As soon as he was dragged to the banquet by several brothers, Xiao Fan saw Mrs. Qian happily greeting all the women.

Xiao Qinyan, on the other hand, sat still with a straight face, waiting for someone to come up to offer a toast before he picked up the wine glass and took a sip to express his feelings.

But the people who came to toast didn't care. After all, they were mostly ordinary people. Normally, they would never see someone like Mr. Xiao in their lifetime, let alone drink together.

As the groom, Xiao Fan was particularly happy today. During the toast, the wine was dry and everyone was welcome.

After walking around, Xiao Fan seemed to be drunk and confused, and he had to be supported when walking.

After toasting, Xiao Fan happened to see Xiao Qinyan leaving the table and followed him straight away. As soon as he came out, he found Xiao Qinyan waiting for him in the corridor.

"What? Father doesn't seem happy today? I think my mother is quite happy!" Xiao Fan stepped forward and teased.

Xiao Qinyan looked at the rosy-faced son in front of him: "Stop pretending to be confused with me, you know clearly that I don't agree with this marriage. And that Zhao Pan'er married you even though she knew there was a blood feud with you. What did she want to do?

Not so small!"

"You don't need to worry about this. You and I know what's going on better than anyone else. Do you want everyone to know what kind of good father you are?"

"Shut up!" Xiao Qinyan became anxious and asked, "Did you not tell your mother the reason for the attack?"

Xiao Fan knew what he was thinking. He was afraid that Qian would fall out with him because of Xiao Fan. Not only would Qian not be able to help him, she would even turn around and stab him in the back.

"You see how happy my mother is, why should I spoil her happiness? Father, don't you think so?"

Seeing that Xiao Qinyan remained silent, Xiao Fan continued: "As long as you don't target Pan'er again, I will pretend that nothing happened. Moreover, I will study hard, take part in the imperial examination, and shine on the Xiao family in the future."

"It's a good thing that you want to take the imperial examination, but if you marry a lowly woman, not only will it not help you, but it will also affect your career and reputation."

"What? Then the reputation of the son of a treacherous official who flatters and manipulates power sounds good? If there is any trouble, please remember clearly that Pan'er is a civilian."

"You...you...just take care of yourself! Humph!"

Xiao Fan ignored Xiao Qinyan who was so angry that he threw away his sleeves and turned around and walked straight to the backyard.

On the other side of the bridal chamber, Zhao Pan'er's eyes kept darting back and forth. After making sure that the maid next to her didn't notice, she quickly stuffed the red date she had secretly picked up into her mouth.

Zhao Pan'er really didn't expect to be so hungry. Fortunately, she always prided herself on being well-prepared, but in the end she was not well-prepared.

I got up early this morning and after paying homage to my parents, I only had a quick bite to eat and then started dressing up and putting on makeup.

Until now, I only drank a few sips of courage-boosting wine while putting on makeup and ate some fruits prepared by Sanniang.

In order to prevent people from gossiping, Zhao Pan'er didn't ask anyone to bring food over. He could only touch a piece of dried fruit and throw it into his mouth when people were not paying attention, but it could only be said that it was better than nothing.

Just as Zhao Pan'er touched another red date, Xiao Fan stumbled in, smelling of alcohol, his face flushed, and unable to walk smoothly.

Seeing this, Zhao Pan'er hurriedly put down the red dates and sat upright on the edge of the bed, holding a round fan in front of her face.

"Officer!" Seeing Xiao Fan coming in, the maids in the room greeted him in unison.

"Hiccup!" Xiao Fan burped and waved his hand: "Everyone, get out!"

After the maids all went out, Xiao Fan came to the bedside with a smile and grabbed Zhao Paner's hand holding the fan: "Madam, come and let me have a good look at you!"

After removing the round fan that covered his face, Xiao Fan looked at Zhao Paner dressed as a bride: "It's so beautiful!"

Zhao Pan'er smelled the odor of alcohol on Xiao Fan's body and saw that he was drunk, so she had to stand up and support him: "Officer, let me undress you."

After helping Xiao Fan take off his clothes and shoes, Zhao Pan'er was about to say something when she saw him sitting on the edge of the bed with his eyes closed and asleep.

He put Xiao Fan down and lay down, thinking that he had been hungry all day, but on the wedding night, this guy drank so much that he fell unconscious.

Zhao Pan'er looked at Xiao Fan's drunken face and became more and more angry as she thought about it. When she pulled him a few times and saw no response, she became so angry that she raised her fist and prepared to hit him.

But just as she raised her hand, before hammering it down, her wrist was grabbed by a big hand, and then Zhao Paner saw Xiao Fan looking at her with a face full of teasing, and there was still a trace of drunkenness in his eyes.

"What? Don't you want to murder your husband?"
