On the ninth day of April, the Nan family married off their daughter, and the streets were deserted.

At the front of the dowry procession was an exquisite dragon and phoenix sedan chair, the body of which was inlaid with various gems, shining brightly and dazzlingly.

In front of the sedan chair stood a pair of golden boy and jade girl, holding red candles and smiling.

Behind the sedan chair was a group of maids dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding all kinds of treasures in their hands. The glittering jewels were a feast for the eyes.

In order not to delay the subsequent procedures, the Nan Mansion's dowry team set out in the early morning. They marched in a mighty and endless procession, carrying the dowry for three entire streets.

When the first load of dowry arrived at Prince Xie's Mansion, countless more dowries were carried out from the Nan family.

On the street, people stopped to watch and talk about it.

"The Nan family is really rich. This dowry must have emptied the entire Nan family, right?"

Listening to the words of the person in front, an elderly man behind said, "Where? Do you remember that Princess Le'an's maternal grandfather's family was the top merchant in Jiangnan? Back then, the old man divided the dowry into two parts, half for each of the two daughters. The dowry stretched for ten streets. Where is it now?"

"Then the old man has worked hard for most of his life, but it's all in vain. All the family property has been taken away with his daughter to another family!"

The old man stroked his beard and said, "You are young and can't see clearly! I am the wise one. The merchants are at the bottom of the social hierarchy. What's the use of having money? You can't wear silk, you can't eat too extravagantly, and your descendants can't become officials."

"But the old man married off his two daughters, so they belonged to another family. The money also went to the other family with his daughters, and his children and grandchildren were completely freed from the restrictions of merchants. They could serve as officials when they should and enjoy life when they should. He used his whole life to lay a good foundation for his children and grandchildren!"

"Look at their two daughters. One has become a successful princess and the other has married a fourth-rank imperial physician. But she has raised a pair of good children. Their ancestors' graves are filled with smoke!"

Several people nodded in agreement.

Seeing the dowry flowing into Prince Xie's mansion like water, some people still became jealous.

"Watch him build a high platform, watch him entertain guests, and watch his high building collapse! Haven't you heard about the uproar some time ago?"

"Princess Le'an and Prince Xie's Mansion are nothing but declining nobles without real power. They are strong on the outside but weak on the inside and don't know how to restrain themselves. They have offended the Prime Minister's only son. Do you think they will have a good time in the future?"

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be back soon. Don't you know the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Young Master Shen? Will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stand by and watch Young Master Shen being bullied? I think that Master Xie's career will end the moment he marries someone today!"

"What princess title is there? That was obtained by Young Master Shen from the Crown Prince. If he could obtain it for her, then she can take it back. Just wait and see how proud they are. Their pride won't last for two days!"

At this time, Prince Xie's mansion was decorated with lights and was extremely lively, with everyone's face filled with joy.

On the day of his son's wedding, Prince Xie and Princess Xie, who had been staying indoors for a long time, came out to welcome the guests.

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Listening to the congratulations from the people around him, Prince Xie nodded with a smile: "Thank you all for your presence!"

Princess Xie was even more delighted. She ordered the maids to prepare wine and food while entertaining the guests.

She was very satisfied with the marriage with the Nan family today. She had originally disdained the Nan family for being lowly and not worthy of her own family.

But during this period of time, Nan Yuan was first given the title of princess, and Nan Mo also came back and was given the title of general. The Nan family will surely prosper in the future.

Our own Chen'er has a promising future. With the support of Nan Mo in the future, his career will surely be bright. Chen'er will definitely be able to shoulder the responsibility of restoring the Xie family.

It would be even better if she could give me a grandson in the future.

Thinking of this, the smile on Princess Xie's face became even brighter.

The lanterns are on.

Xie Luochen, dressed in red, was surrounded by people, toasting each other and accepting everyone who came.

"That's enough, you guys. If you keep drinking like this, how will our Master Xie be able to consummate his marriage with his bride?"

One person couldn't help it and made a sarcastic remark.

As soon as he said this, Xie Luochen stopped what he was doing and the smile on his face began to stiffen.

The thing he deliberately suppressed has now been ruthlessly exposed. On his wedding night?

To him, there is nothing more insulting than this!

How could a useless man like him have a wedding night?

Even though he knew that the man might just be teasing him, Xie Luochen still got angry.

At this time, someone noticed Xie Luochen's expression and changed the subject: "On such a happy day, why can't we have a couple of drinks? Brother Xie, are you afraid of your wife now? This won't do. We brothers finally came here and are waiting to have a drink with you. You can't let us down!"

Xie Luochen, whose face was red from drinking, stood up shakily, raised his glass and said, "Since everyone says so, then I toast to you!"

He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then turned around and bowed to everyone: "Thank you all brothers for coming to attend my wedding with my wife, thank you all brothers!"

Although he said so, only Xie Luochen himself knew the pain in his heart.

Several people kept drinking, but Xie Luochen could only force himself to drink one cup after another. He didn't know how many cups he had, but he just felt that the scenery in front of him was becoming more and more blurred.

It’s better to be drunk, because when he is drunk he doesn’t have to face the fact that he is a useless person!

"Oh, why is the groom still here?" The nanny became a little anxious when she saw that the groom had not come back yet.

The nanny saw Xie Luochen still drinking here, not knowing whether he was really drunk or pretending, and hurriedly walked over to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey, Master Xie, this is the groom getting married!"

"This is your first time as a groom, you must be so happy that you are crazy. How come you drank so much? What are you going to do later?"

Xie Luochen felt uncomfortable all over when he heard the word "groom". It seemed like they were clearly mocking him for being a useless person!

But the nanny didn't notice it, she kept on talking, and looked at the people who were trying to persuade her to drink: "You young masters are really something, this is someone's wedding day, and there are still important things to do, you got them drunk, what should we do?"

When the others saw that Xie Luochen was drunk and was scolded by the nanny, no one dared to drink anymore and they all found excuses to leave, leaving Xie Luochen alone.

He stood up shakily and looked at the nanny with a bad look: "Who do you think you are? Do you have to care if this prince wants to drink some wine?"

After he finished speaking, he felt dizzy and took a few steps forward with a dazed look in his eyes. His foot slipped and he fell heavily to the ground.

When the nanny saw this, a trace of disgust flashed across her face, but she still quickly called the servants and helped Xie Luochen up: "Oh, my Lord, please don't get hurt!"

"Quick, send the prince back to his bridal chamber."
