The Day of Marriage (Part 1)

Time quickly past like it was flying by and in a twinkling of an eye it was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, it was an auspicious day and was good to go get married and it was the day the long widowed Prince Yu to marry a Wangfei. After Prince Yu had been widowed for so many years, the residence of Prince Yu is finally welcoming a new mistress. However everyone was well aware that this was not something to be happy about. Just like the previous Prince Yu's Wangfei, who could know when will the happy occasion become a funeral.

The target that was marrying into Prince Yu residence is the Shen family's Di daughter of the second household in the capital. There were three Di daughters in the Formidable Great General residence, Shen lisa was famous for being an idiot, Shen Yue's talented reputation was well known and Shen Qing was considered to be beautiful, generous and capable, and this last such good female was going to get married to Prince Yu kind of person. This made others unable to bear but to let a sigh go.

"That Shen Gui has gone crazy." There was someone who was speaking softly in the crowd that was looking at the commotion. "Is not this watching one's daughter jumping into the fire pit? This is sinful."

"What do you know." Another person disapproved, "I heard from my official Biao Older Brother, that this Eldest Shen Young Lady had illicit sexual relations with Prince Yu and is already pregnant. If it was not because that is a Royal flesh and blood, she would be drown."

"Ah. What you said is real?" The surrounding people heard that and all of them were surprised as they did not know about this before.

That person shook his head proudly, "It is so. Heard that during the returning banquet in the Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials had witnessed it, and heard that this Shen family Eldest Young Lady was not pitiful at all and brought trouble to herself."

"Indeed if it is like this. To be pregnant before marriage, this offend the public morals."

"Really, does not know what shame is."

"How did the Shen family's Second household taught such a daughter that harmed General Shen's noble and benevolent character. Really she is humiliating the family status."

"What does this got to do with General Shen? General Shen is not in the Ding capital all year and even his daughter was raised by the two other households."

Everyone's lively discussion and comments were diverse and all the conversation were words of despise for Shen Qing. From the initial sympathy to the later spitting and cursing, seemed to have passed only a short moment of time. Even Shen Gui's and Ren Wan Yun's bones were picked.

That person who initially said that Shen Qing was pregnant, only quietly smiled and disappeared into the crowd.

In the Shen residence, the matchmaker was putting makeup on Shen Qing.

Ren Wan Yun stood behind Shen Qing and tightly twisted the handkerchief in her hands and could not wait to shred it into pieces. She raised her daughter up well but now had to watch as Shen Qing jumped into the fire pit. No mother would not love their own daughter and to Ren Wan Yun, everything that had happened felt like someone cutting into her flesh with a knife.

What was different was that Shen Qing did not have such strong emotions as Ren Wan Yun. She sat quietly at the seat and let the matchmaker move around and that matchmaker smiled and said, "Eldest Young Lady, this old one will thread one's face. Face threading is somewhat painful, Eldest Young Lady must tolerate and after it, one will be able to be a beautiful bride."

It was still alright if these words were not said but when these words were said, Ren Wan Yun only felt pain in her heart and she almost fainted. Shen Qing only looked woodenly at herself in the bronze mirror. If it was not for her blinking eyes, one would think that she was a corpse.
