Chapter 142 The Domineering Wedding
Chapter 142 The Domineering Wedding
Despite the tight schedule, they didn't want to overlook anything.
To ensure everything went smoothly, they had a clear division of labor:
Yin Lihen was responsible for notifying relatives and friends, Lu Yuanchangming assisted in preparing the items needed for the wedding banquet, and Qi Yuxuan was responsible for arranging the venue and etiquette.
A few days later, the sun shone brightly and a gentle breeze caressed our faces.
The Qi family mansion was brightly decorated and filled with joy.
Guests arrived one after another, each coming with a heart full of blessings to witness this sacred moment.
The Valley Master Qiu Ruoshui, the four masters of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, the three senior brothers, Li Keyong, Yang Xingmi, Zhu Yanshou, and the elders of the Qi family all attended in their finest attire.
Come and witness this extraordinary wedding.
However, behind all this excitement and joy, many people harbor deep anxieties.
The three senior brothers were overjoyed to hear that they had found their junior sister, but they were also extremely worried when they learned that she had lost all her memories and was suffering from a strange poison.
Qiu Ziyue has lost her memory. In her current understanding, Yelü Chengyuan is her husband.
This was undoubtedly making things even more difficult for Qi Yuxuan.
As night fell on the eve of the wedding, Qi Yuxuan sat alone in a corner of the courtyard, gazing at the starry sky, his heart filled with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.
If Qiu Ziyue hadn't lost her memory, the wedding would have been a joyous occasion. Qi Yuxuan imagined how happy he would have been to get married before losing his memory.
"Yu Xuan, are you ready?"
Lu Yuanchangming walked over and asked softly.
Qi Yuxuan nodded, his voice a little hoarse: "I'm ready."
Lu Yuanchangming patted him on the shoulder: "You must stay calm."
The next morning, the guests gathered together, waiting for the arrival of the bride and groom.
Liu Xu knew that Qiu Ziyue had lost her memory. She tried to call out to Qiu Ziyue to remember her, but all her attempts failed. Liu Xu held back her tears and did Qiu Ziyue's hair and makeup.
While doing her hair and makeup, Liu Xu told Qiu Ziyue that she was getting married to her sweetheart today.
Beneath the red veil, Qiu Ziyue's face showed a hint of confusion and unease, her eyes lacking their usual brilliance.
She thought to herself that this should be her wedding with Yelü Chengyuan, so she was filled with anticipation.
Qi Yuxuan wore a red wedding suit with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns embroidered on the lapel, symbolizing good fortune and auspiciousness.
His face was handsome, and his eyes revealed both determination and gentleness.
Accompanied by the sound of drums and music, Qi Yuxuan walked steadily to the center of the courtyard to greet Qiu Ziyue, who was about to become his wife.
By this time, the courtyard had already been decorated like a fairyland, with red lanterns hanging high and flowers blooming everywhere.
The guests sat together, watching this sacred moment with great anticipation.
The deafening sound of gongs and drums, and the melodious and graceful sound of suonas, created a festive atmosphere.
Supported by Liu Xu, Qiu Ziyue, wearing a red veil, slowly walked towards Qi Yuxuan.
Li Keyong stood in the center of the courtyard, handed a red silk ribbon to the newlyweds, and then solemnly surveyed all the guests present.
He cleared his throat and announced loudly, "Today, we gather here to witness the marriage of Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue. As the officiant, I hereby formally announce—"
Just then, Qiu Ziyue suddenly felt uneasy.
She slowly removed the red veil, revealing a slightly pale face.
When she saw Qi Yuxuan in front of her, a strong sense of doubt welled up in her heart.
“Wait…” Qiu Ziyue’s voice trembled slightly, “Is there a mistake? I am not Qiu Ziyue, I am Yelü Xueqing, and the person I married is Yelü Chengyuan.”
The courtyard fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on Qiu Ziyue.
Qi Yuxuan paused for a moment, then stepped forward and gently took her hand: "Ziyue, I know you're confused right now, but you really are Qiu Ziyue. Let's face all of this together, okay?"
Qiu Ziyue's eyes were filled with confusion and unease. She said softly, "No, I'm really not Qiu Ziyue. I remember very clearly, I am Yelü Xueqing, and my husband is Yelü Chengyuan."
Looking at the people around him, his voice gradually became firm, "Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"
Qi Yuxuan's heart sank, but he remained calm.
She gently comforted him, "Twilight Sparkle, I know you don't remember me now, but I'm willing to spend my whole life waiting for you to fall in love with me again. Please believe me, we'll get through this together."
Li Keyong also stepped forward and gently patted Qiu Ziyue:
“Girl, I know you’re confused right now. But Yuxuan is someone you can entrust your life to, and he will take good care of you. Perhaps you can try to think back on the past.”
Qiu Ziyue was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I really don't know what to do. It all feels like a dream, and I don't know which is real."
At this moment, the guests in the courtyard began to discuss among themselves.
Some expressed understanding, while others were surprised.
The four masters, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, exchanged glances. Master Spring said softly, "Child, sometimes lost memories can be slowly recovered, but true love will never disappear."
Qiu Ruoshui stepped forward and took Qiu Ziyue's hand: "Ziyue, listen to your heart. Yuxuan is someone you can entrust your life to; he will take good care of you."
While everyone was at a loss, Qi Yuxuan suddenly thought of a solution. He whispered to Qiu Ziyue, "Ziyue, why don't we go together to find your lost memories? I will stay with you until you find your true self."
Qiu Ziyue looked up and gazed into Qi Yuxuan's sincere eyes, a warmth welling up in her heart.
Suddenly, Qiu Ziyue said again, "No, no, there must be a mistake. This marriage cannot go ahead."
Qiu Ziyue threw away the red veil and then tried to run out.
In the blink of an eye, Qi Yuxuan darted forward and struck Qiu Ziyue's pressure points.
Qiu Ziyue felt weak and powerless all over, unable to muster any strength.
Qi Yuxuan instructed Liu Xu, "This wedding must take place today. There's no time for explanations. Let's start with the wedding ceremony."
The willow catkins nodded.
Qi Yuxuan, employing the tactics of a domineering CEO, prepares to marry Qiu Ziyue, who has been acupunctured.
Many people present knew that Qiu Ziyue was already poisoned, so they did not stop her.
First bow to heaven and earth
"—" With the chief's loud shout, the two respectfully bowed to heaven and earth. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and all eyes were focused on the newlyweds.
"Second bow to the parents—"
Qi Yuxuan took Qiu Ziyue's hand and together they bowed to Qi Jiangfeng and his wife, as well as Li Keyong.
"Wait!"
A loud shout echoed throughout the wedding venue, and everyone involuntarily stopped what they were doing.
Just as the chief was about to announce the wedding procession, he was interrupted by this sudden sound.
Everyone turned to look, and saw Li Maozhen standing at the courtyard gate, his eyes filled with anger and determination.
Li Maozhen, dressed in black and holding a riding whip, strode into the courtyard with an imposing air.
His arrival instantly turned the originally festive atmosphere into a tense one.
The guests whispered amongst themselves, clearly surprised and uneasy about the unexpected guest.
Qi Yuxuan held Qiu Ziyue's hand tightly and whispered to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
He stepped forward and blocked Li Maozhen's path: "Prince Qi, today is my and Ziyue's wedding day. Please come and have a drink with us. It would be an honor."
Li Maozhen snorted coldly, his gaze sharp: "Qi Yuxuan, do you know your mistake?"
He turned to Qiu Ziyue, somewhat frightened, but then he saw that Qiu Ziyue was different from before, wearing a red veil and remaining silent.
Li Maozhen's tone softened slightly, "Qiu Ziyue, are you really Qiu Ziyue? Or have you been replaced?"
To be continued in the next chapter.
