Chapter 796: The Disabled Young Master 8

Just then, Master Chu cleared his throat and said to the two of them, "Since this marriage has been settled, we should make the preparations as soon as possible. Tang… Tang cannot be delayed. Pan'er, the journey to the capital is a long one, so you have to set out early to make it in time for the auspicious wedding day. After you marry, you must live harmoniously with Nephew He, treating each other with mutual respect! You absolutely mustn't be as mischievous as you are at home."

Hearing this, Tang Wan immediately nodded obediently. "Your daughter understands, Father."

Only then did Master Chu nod in satisfaction.

He had originally been worried that Tang Wan, having never experienced much of the world, would reveal herself after meeting He Jiantong.

But now it seemed that she was quite composed. With that, he no longer had to worry about her being exposed.

……

Not long afterward, Tang Wan took her leave.

Once she had left, Master Chu immediately tentatively asked He Jiantong, "Nephew, what do you think of my daughter?"

Hearing this, a rare trace of a smile appeared on He Jiantong's gloomy face. "Your daughter is charming, innocent, and very beautiful. No wonder my parents thought of her so fondly while they were alive."

Master Chu immediately felt relieved.

It seemed that He Jiantong was quite satisfied with Tang Wan.

They had finally managed to get away with it.

"Hahahaha, as long as you're satisfied," Master Chu said meaningfully.

……

As soon as Tang Wan returned, Chu Pan'er immediately came forward and asked nervously, "Tang Wan, how did it go? Did you give yourself away?"

Hearing this, Tang Wan immediately put on a cautious expression. "I don't think so."

"That's good!" Chu Pan'er breathed a sigh of relief.

She then looked at Tang Wan with some disdain. "They say clothes make the man, and the saddle makes the horse. You're wearing a robe worth a hundred gold pieces, so how come you still look so provincial?"

Tang Wan immediately looked nervous.

Inwardly, however, she sneered: If I weren't afraid you'd change your mind, I could wear a sack and still completely overwhelm you in presence.

Seeing her uneasy expression, Chu Pan'er hurriedly said, "Don't overthink it. I didn't mean anything by that. From now on, whenever you see He Jiantong, just behave the way I normally do."

Hearing this, Tang Wan obediently nodded. "I understand, Miss!"

……

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

The Chu family had finished making most of the necessary preparations.

Since Tang Wan would be marrying out from the Chu residence and then traveling all the way to the capital, she set off early, seven days later.

To prevent He Jiantong from noticing anything unusual, Master Chu also gave Tang Wan a substantial dowry.

Thus, the entire party soon set off amid the sounds of drums and gongs, carrying Tang Wan and the Chu family's dowry with them.

Because He Jiantong had difficulty moving around, after seeing Tang Wan off, he went into the carriage.

Watching the wedding procession gradually disappear into the distance, Master Chu finally let out the breath he had been holding.

Chu Pan'er and Li Shuai were similarly relieved.

But soon, they would realize just how naïve they had been.

Even without He Jiantong, Master Chu would never possibly marry Chu Pan'er off to a servant who had sold himself into bondage, would he?

Of course, to take a little revenge on Chu Pan'er for looking down on He Jiantong, Tang Wan had also caused a little trouble during this period.

Every day, she secretly put some herbs that promoted fertility into Chu Pan'er's meals. Since the two of them were together every night without fail, the chances of her plan succeeding were probably quite high.

When the time came, she would see how these two fools intended to keep hiding it!

……

After the wedding procession made its way to the pier amid the sounds of drums and gongs, it stopped.

The journey to the capital was a long one, and traveling by water would be much faster.
