At noon, the newlywed couple walked out of the wedding chamber, hand in hand, ready to offer tea to their elders in the main hall.
Truthly speaking, whenever Pei Xuan is present, Cui Ti would be able to see their silhouettes but she still pretended to be blind. Fortunately, she has been blind for her whole life, so there didn't need to be much effort in pretending.
Pei Xuan supported Cui Ti's arm with utmost care and tenderness as they made their way, ensuring her safety with every step. He spoke softly, "Wife, take your time," his words and actions filled with so much tenderness that it enraptured her heart.
As the noon bell rang, the sound of their footsteps echoed around them, and Bai Ge stood behind Cui Ti, appearing taller than usual.
The entire Pei family, from the prime minister and his wife to the lowest maid, treated Cui Ti with respect. Bai Ge, who saw the bright and warm side of the Pei family, felt disgusted with Mr. and Mrs. Xining, sighing at the sight of Pei Xuan and Cui Ti walking side by side as their shoulders touched each other.
From the bottom of her heart, she felt extremely happy for her mistress.
Pei Xuan was dressed in a magnificent crimson robe, and Cui Ti's attire matched his, showing off their couple status.
When the morning light shone through the large glass of the hall, the servants of the inner courtyard were surprised to see their newly young Madam, with her well-defined eyebrows and serene demeanor that looked like a beautiful flowing ink painting.
Gazing at Pei Xuan's unwavering attention and affection towards her beloved wife, the onlookers in the main hall were awestruck. Known for her gentle nature and seldom displaying anger, her sincere and devoted attitude towards her wife was a rarity that deeply touched everyone's hearts.
Recalling the day when Pei Xuan had kneeled before them, begging for Cui Ti's hand in marriage, the crowd's perception of the blind woman underwent a complete transformation.
As the only 'son' of the Pei family, Pei Xuan's attitude reflected the family's attitude and reputation. Therefore, the official wife would not only be the upright young wife of the Pei family but also their future matriarch.
Although Cui Ti couldn't see the servants who had their heads and eyes lowered, she could sense the change in their gazes.
From this day onwards, people would refer to her first as Ms. Cui, rather than a blind woman from the Xining family, for her worth was no longer determined by her disability, but by her character and deeds.
The saying "respect a person for who they are, not for how they are" held true even in her past life. Despite being looked down upon and pitied by many, Pei Xuan held her in the highest regard and treated her with the utmost tenderness.
As they walked, the couple used their wide sleeves to shield their eyes from onlookers, which Bai Ge found amusing.
Nevertheless, Pei Xuan loved how they looked together, their matching clothes intertwined intimately with each other. Cui Ti's hair and clothes fluttered in the wind as Pei Xuan took a few minutes to describe the surrounding scenery, and her face was filled with joy.
Pei Xuan's scholarly talent was undeniable, as her descriptions of flowers and trees were like no other. Her words painted a vivid picture of beauty that could not be appreciated by anyone else but Cui Ti.
At first, Cui Ti was nervous about meeting her in-laws, but she was gradually drawn in by Pei Xuan's literate and descriptive words, and before she knew it, her feet had already carried her over the threshold of the main hall.
