Chapter 802: The Disabled Young Master 14

In the original plot, in order to highlight how vicious the villain was, there had been a deliberate mention of how he treated the other branches of the He family after his parents' deaths.

The people from the first and second branches were directly thrown into prison by him and only released after being locked up for some time.

As for the fourth and fifth branches, he had one person beaten until they were crippled, while another was tied up and married off to a lame man.

After that, everyone in the He family regarded He Jiantong as a madman who recognized no kinship, fearing and hating him.

But Tang Wan didn't see it that way.

Why had Jiantong done this?

Wasn't it because the people of the He family were too cold-blooded? The moment they saw that Jiantong's parents had been killed by bandits, they took advantage of his young age and tried to seize the assets belonging to the third branch.

If Jiantong didn't fight back and make an example out of someone, how could he suppress these two-faced bloodsuckers?

……

Hearing the woman's words, He Jiantong merely gave her a cold look.

Then he said to the maid, "Take Young Madam to the bridal chamber."

"Yes, Young Master!"

Seeing this, the woman immediately turned ugly.

But she quickly suppressed the disgust and fear she felt toward He Jiantong and continued, "Jiantong, you can't have a wedding without an elder presiding over it. Why don't your uncle and I preside over the wedding for you?"

"No need to trouble Aunt. Having my parents' memorial tablets present at the wedding is enough," He Jiantong said coldly.

Although this was his wedding ceremony, he had no intention of making a grand affair out of it.

He had long since grown sick of the disgusting faces of these relatives. As for friends… after losing the use of his legs, he no longer had any friends. All he had were business associates.

……

Hearing He Jiantong's words, the expression of the first branch's wife instantly became even uglier.

But she didn't dare say anything more.

Thus, she could only say to He Jiantong, "All right! Since you insist on doing it this way, then so be it!"

But inwardly, she sneered repeatedly: Who holds a wedding without relatives and friends attending?

He Jiantong was getting married, yet not only did he refuse to invite them, his elders, he even intended to have the bride worship before memorial tablets!

Hah!

She didn't believe that the bride wouldn't have some resentment in her heart over this!

Once discord arose between the couple, hmph, sooner or later they would make He Jiantong regret treating them that way!

……

After Tang Wan arrived at the He residence, she first took a good bath and rested for a while.

Before long, a maid brought in food, and He Jiantong also arrived soon afterward.

"Jiantong, you're here? Come quickly, let's eat together." Tang Wan's eyes lit up as she looked at the table full of sumptuous dishes.

She had eaten so plainly for so many days on the ship. Now she could finally have a proper meal with some delicious food.

Seeing her sparkling eyes, He Jiantong's expression couldn't help but soften.

He then sat down and ate with her.

After they had eaten for a while, He Jiantong suddenly asked her, "Pan'er, there won't be any guests at tomorrow's wedding. Will you blame me?"

Hearing this, Tang Wan continued gnawing on a chicken leg as she said, "What's there to blame? I don't know anyone here anyway. Besides, we're getting married for ourselves, not for other people to see. As long as we're happy, we can do whatever we want!"

It was obvious that Jiantong didn't have a good relationship with the people of the He family, so it was perfectly normal that he didn't want to invite them.

As for the Chu family, apart from the few maidservants who had been purchased as part of her dowry, there wasn't anyone she knew there either.

So although having no guests at the wedding made it somewhat quiet and lonely, it didn't matter to her.

Of course, the main reason was that she and Jiantong had already held plenty of lively and grand weddings together.

Once in a while, having a wedding with just the two of them wasn't bad either.
