Here comes a pair of newlyweds!

Everyone here is Shang Chaozong's bodyguard, unlike the officials at the magistrate's office who have to pay attention to their image. Shang Chaozong got off his horse and led the bride out of the sedan. "Oh!" The crowd immediately cheered and crowded around.

The military does not have as many rules as the civil service. A good commander will not put on airs with his brothers. When he needs to give orders, he does so strictly, but he can also be relaxed and lively. When Ning King was alive, he would even rub shoulders with the soldiers, something unimaginable for a civilian official. It was common for him to gather with a group of soldiers to boast or eat and live together with them, help them with food and water, and even bet on games and get his face painted with ink if he lost.

Shang Chaozong grew up hearing and seeing this from his father and was naturally not going to put on airs with his brothers. When his brothers cheered him on, he could only apologize.

Most of the bodyguards had never seen the bride before. They were all amazed at her size when she stood next to the prince. She was probably the strongest princess in the world!

Niu You Dao stood in the pavilion and smiled as he watched the scene. Yuan Gang quietly came to his side and slipped a pill into his hand. Niu You Dao looked back and saw Yuan Gang nodding slightly. His smile grew broader, and he turned back to watch the fun.

"Carry her to the bridal chamber!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

Everyone immediately responded, waving their arms and shouting, "Carry her to the bridal chamber! Carry her to the bridal chamber!"

Blue Ruoting tried to wave them off, but it was no use. His brothers were rarely so carefree and happy, so he didn't want to spoil their fun.

Shang Chaozong's apologies were useless. He had no choice but to raise his sleeves and prepare to carry Feng Ruonan to the bridal chamber. But Feng Ruonan's eyes were like those on a red hat, and she suddenly kicked Shang Chaozong's shin with a swift and silent blow.

Shang Chaozong stumbled and almost fell from the blow. Fortunately, the people around him caught him. Feng Ruonan's meaning was clear: she did not want to participate in the fun with everyone.

The scene immediately fell silent, and the group of soldiers who had been cheering just now backed away silently, looking embarrassed. The festive atmosphere disappeared without a trace.

Shang Shuqing and Blue Ruoting were speechless. Shang Chaozong's leg hurt, but he felt worse about his brothers' reaction. These were the people who were risking their lives for him!

Huo Ran looked at Feng Ruonan and became angry. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her over. Feng Ruonan struggled a bit but then stopped. Perhaps because of her military background, she could empathize with certain things. She seemed to realize something from the sudden silence she caused and reluctantly allowed Shang Chaozong to carry her to the bridal chamber.

After Shang Chaozong settled Feng Ruonan in the bridal chamber, he came out again and announced loudly, "Drink big bowls of wine and eat big pieces of meat! Let's feast!"

The soldiers cheered again and followed Shang Chaozong, leaving a trail of laughter and joy behind them, leaving the small courtyard peaceful.

Bai Yao, who held a sword in his arms, was one of the people on the roofs and high points around the small courtyard, observing the surroundings with cold eyes.

At the banquet, the soldiers were noisy, sitting and standing as they pleased, a bit wanton but genuinely happy. The reason for their joy was not to be discussed. After Feng Ruonan entered the household, everyone knew what it meant. The future was uncertain before, but now everyone could finally relax a bit.

A group of people shuttled between the tables, offering toasts and exchanging cups, their voices loud. Shang Chaozong was the target of many drinking games.

Niu You Dao sat with Shang Shuqing, Blue Ruoting, and Yuan Gang at one table, and Yuan Fang was also there, invited by Niu You Dao from the table of the Southern Mountain Temple monks. Yuan Fang was a bit surprised to be treated so well, and he found Niu You Dao to be a genuinely good person. Compared to Yuan Gang, Niu You Dao was truly a superior person.

Seeing a group of soldiers trying to get Shang Chaozong drunk, Niu You Dao smiled and occasionally picked up his cup and chopsticks.

Although he had an appetite, he was not greedy and did not indulge in excessive drinking or eating. He was relatively casual in his behavior, but had a certain degree of restraint and was, in a way, an introverted person.

"If the prince keeps drinking like this, he's going to get drunk," Niu You Dao said, raising his cup to Blue Ruoting with a smile.

Blue Ruoting understood his meaning and thought Shang Chaozong was overdoing it a bit. He put down his cup and left the table, whispering to a few centurions before returning. They began blocking drinks for Shang Chaozong.

When Shang Chaozong returned to their table, Niu You Dao took the jug that had been protecting him and poured a bowl of wine for Shang Chaozong himself. "My prince, this one is just for you!" he said, offering the bowl of wine with both hands.

Of course, he would drink his own wine. Shang Chaozong nodded and clinked his bowl against Niu You Dao's before downing it in one gulp.

Niu You Dao laughed!

After that, Blue Ruoting whispered something to Shang Chaozong again, asking him not to drink anymore and to focus on the bridal chamber. Shang Chaozong was a bit embarrassed, but Feng Ruonan's behavior earlier had made him angry. Plus, he had just been drinking heavily, and he felt brave. He was determined not to be soft on Feng Ruonan tonight. He turned and went back to the bridal chamber to rest.

Niu You Dao also lost interest in the festivities and stood up. Yuan Gang and Yuan Fang followed him away from the table.

The bridal chamber was a beautiful thing, but it wasn't meant to be shared with others. The couple was left alone in the room, while Wenxin waited outside and Wenli went out to report to the people outside, letting them know that everything was going smoothly. In fact, the magistrate's office knew that Feng Ruonan's attitude was reluctant and that she had a bad temper. They were worried that she would cause trouble and were keeping an eye on her.

As soon as Wen Li walked out of the yard, she ran into Yuan Fang, who was wandering outside. At the sight of her, he exclaimed, "Hey, what are you doing here?"

Yuan Fang chuckled, "I'm on guard duty tonight! By the way, is everything going smoothly inside? Did you all drink the wedding toast already?"

"Things are going smoothly, we drank the toast, don't worry, there won't be any problems," Wen Li smiled.

"Oh, that's good, that's good..." Yuan Fang nodded happily, but then there was an unusual commotion coming from the bridal chamber.

Immediately, Wen Xin ran out in a fluster, saying anxiously, "Something's wrong, Miss and Master are fighting inside the bridal chamber!"

"Uh..." Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment, then turned and ran.

The guards at the door quickly reported the news.

Bai Yao, standing expressionless on the roof, turned his head to look at the location of the bridal chamber, frowned, and then floated down to the door of the bridal chamber, listening intently.

He didn't need to listen carefully. There was definitely the sound of a fight inside, with fists and feet flying and furniture being smashed.

Bai Yao wanted to push the door in, but was afraid of seeing an inappropriate scene. So he shouted, "Ruonan, what's going on?"

Feng Ruonan's cold laughter came from inside, "Uncle Bai, it's none of your business. How dare he hit me? Watch how I teach him a lesson. He'll regret marrying me!"

"..." Bai Yao was speechless. This was a wedding day, don't mess around like this. He said in a deep voice, "Ruonan, be reasonable!"

Feng Ruonan's clear and cheerful laughter came, "Uncle Bai, this is the bridal chamber. I'm not wearing any clothes. You'd better not come in!" She laughed heartily, having been aggrieved for so long, she finally found an opportunity to get revenge.

Bai Yao's hand hesitated before pushing the door. He didn't know if Feng Ruonan was telling the truth or not, but it was probably false. She obviously didn't want him to intervene, but if she really wasn't wearing clothes, it would be embarrassing. However, one thing was certain, Feng Ruonan could speak while fighting, indicating that she was skilled, and Shang Chaozong, who was too busy to speak, was definitely at a disadvantage.

He also knew Feng Ruonan's skills. She was a fierce general on the battlefield, and most people were not her match. Shang Chaozong was probably in trouble.

Bai Yao had a headache and shouted, "Ruonan, stop it, be reasonable!"

"Don't worry, I won't kill him. If I do, I'll have no way to explain it to my parents. But I have to teach him a lesson today. What does it matter if Ning King's son is here?" Feng Ruonan snorted.

Bai Yao rubbed his forehead. With Feng Ruonan's explanation, he was at ease. As long as the matter wasn't made too big, it was fine.

Wen Xin and Wen Li looked at each other in confusion. Was the new groom being beaten up?

Soon, Niu You Dao and Yuan Gang, who were informed by Yuan Fang, and Blue Ruoting and Shang Shuqing, who were informed by the guards, arrived.

On the paper window of the bridal chamber, candlelight flickered, and the shadows of the fighters moved back and forth.

Shang Shuqing anxiously shouted, "Brother, what's going on?"

As soon as she spoke, the sound of fighting inside the house stopped, and Shang Chaozong's angry voice came, "Let go of me! Let go!"

Feng Ruonan's cold laughter came out, "Be honest, if you move again, I'll break your arm!"
