Chapter 157 Love Will Find A Way (Section End) 1
The fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, the Mid-Autumn Festival, was also the grand wedding day of Fan Luo County’s Wangye.
The Wangye’s mansion had prepared thirty tables and Luo Shui Private Mansion had prepared twenty tables. Along the main road from Fan Luo County to Luo Shui Private Mansion, they prepared enough tables to treat everyone in the County. The entire County had been celebrating for three days and three nights.
“Haah! I’m exhausted! It’s good that we only have to experience this once in our lives. Or else, I can’t stand it anymore!” Lian En Zai saw the last guest off and returned to his wedding room. Taking off his wedding robe, he walked towards Yang Jing Zhi, who was devouring the food on the table.
“Don’t worry, if you want to experience this again, I will satisfy your wish.” Yang Jing Zhi glared at him and indifferently said.
“Just you is plenty. How dare I convert more. I don’t have that fortune to enjoy… Oops, no, no, I… From the bottom of your husband’s heart, there’s only you. The other girls, no matter how they look, I won’t bat an eye!” Liang En Zai saw Yang Jing Zhi’s dark face. He immediately hugged her to their bed.
Sigh! It was a bit embarrassing to think about it. He was the famous Wangye and the dignified leader of the Knights, but he had only one solution to deal with his mildly bad-tempered wife… which only could be solved in their bed…

“Eh? It’s so late, but someone’s still here? Ah, Miss Jian Yue. Very sorry, this maid thought everyone had left so this maid was about to close the gate.” The two little maids were surprised to see a shadow in the corner while checking the yard.
“It’s okay. I’m leaving now.” Jian Yue picked up a bottle of liquor, her steps were not steady as she staggered to walk.
“Miss Jian Yue, do you need this maid to call a carriage for you?” Watching the way Jian Yue walked, the maid guessed that she was drunk so she kindly offered.
“No need,” Jian Yue shook her head. Although she was a little tipsy, her head was quite clear. At least, she didn’t forget where she was staying in Qing Tian Private Mansion.
Watching her wobbly figure walking away, the two maids exchanged worried looks. Reluctantly, they returned to the yard where the reception was previously held.
Last Mid-Autumn Festival, there were several single girls in Jian Heng and Xin Lan’s wedding. And they were all hurt because of love like her. This year, at Jiang Ying Yun’s wedding at Dragon Boat Festival, Yang Jing Zhi was there to drink with her. And today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone’s family had gathered and reunited. After the luxurious wedding, she was left alone with her decade-long loneliness and a bottle of wine.
As her mind was occupied while walking, she didn’t notice a small rock in front of her and almost tripped.
“Watch out!” Someone caught her before she fell.
Jian Yue raised her blurry eyes, quietly looking at the man. Was her eyes playing a trick? How could it be him? He was on a mission, wasn’t he? She didn’t see him during the wedding. Did she recognize the wrong person?
She raised her hand, caressing his sharp, cold face. “Ha… So similar!”
“You’re drunk.” Si Tuo supported her to get up. He let her lean on him while guiding her to Qing Tian Private Mansion.
“Drunk? Of course, if I’m not drunk, how can I see you now? You’re just my hallucination…”
Si Tuo raised his sword-like brows. “What hallucination?” So his painstaking efforts of hastening the process of moving Feng Yao Court to Fan Luo County for her were done in vain? And this woman didn’t bat an eye on him.
“Oh… Hallucination… It’s… I want to forget you… Pretend… I have never met you… Never before…” Jian Yue mumbled her decisions. She leaned against his chest and fell asleep.
Si Tuo sighed then scooped her up. He jumped several times to take her back to her room. Gently, he put and tucked her in her bed. Looming over her, he took in her lips, which smelled of wine, kissing until she moaned. His lower abdomen felt tense when he let off her. “Not allowed. I won’t allow you to forget me.” He warned her.

When Jian Yue woke up the next morning, she hadn’t had time to recall how she came home yesterday as she heard someone banging on her door.
Holding her throbbing, hungover head, she opened the door.
“Jian Yue? Are you ill?” Su Shuilian looked at Jian Yue and her ashen face. She frowned, walking forward to support the other.
“No, I just drank too much.” Jian Yue shook her head. “Your Ladyship, do you need my assistance?” She had never seen Su Shuilian come to see her personally. If she needed something, she would usually ask Xin Zhi to deliver the message. It wasn’t that Su Shuilian looked down on her, she understood that Her Ladyship was very busy.
“I want to have you accompany me to the city. You know that A Yao won’t be assured if I leave He Yuan alone. But he has some business to do. Yun-er has been to Huan Sha City these days. I had considered it for a while and realized I can only trouble you.”
“No trouble.” She was a bodyguard; Xue Li assigned her to stay in He Yuan and protect this place. Although the Emperor and his Empress rarely visited, she was still He Yuan’s guard. Her duty should never be forgotten, even if she had never been an escort.
Perhaps it’s like Her Ladyship had said. As Situ Yun wasn’t here, she couldn’t find anyone more suitable than her.
