Chapter 506: Chapter 506 Wei Qingwan’s Wedding Night_1

Wei Qingwan’s wedding dress and dowry were far inferior to Wei Ruo’s.

The person who came to welcome the bride was not King Chu Heng himself, but the steward of King Yu Residence.

Despite her resentment, Wei Qingwan had no choice but to accept.

As Wei Qingwan’s older sister, Wei Ruo should have returned home to attend the wedding, but she excused herself, claiming that King Rui was unwell and needed her care.

Her excuse was plausible, leaving others speechless.

Even though the Wei Family and Wei Qingwan were upset, they had no power over Wei Ruo.

Of course, rumours about a strained relationship between the sisters also circulated. After all, Wei Ruo had attended the birthday of the Lu family’s elder but was mysteriously absent from her own sister’s wedding, even if King Rui was unwell, he did not necessarily require constant care.

Wei Ruo was not affected by such speculations. She had no desire to pretend she was close to Wei Qingwan.

She did not want to waste her time visiting the Wei Family. Recently opened were the branches of the Four Treasure House and a preserved meat shop in the Capital City, and she had newly acquired properties and farmland to manage. On top of all this, she had to oversee the harvest of rice. She had no intention to spend her time fawning over her family.

Xiu Fengyuan and Lu Yuhong, being good friends with Wei Yichen, attended the celebratory event of the Wei Family.

Given recent events, they naturally became the focus of attention.

Both of them were in good condition, able to walk on their own, with no visible injuries.

Even Xiu Fengyuan’s arm injury was barely noticeable beneath his clothes, as long as he didn’t reveal it himself, nobody would be able to tell.

Contrastingly, Qi Zhen did not attend the wedding at King Yu’s Residence. As the bride’s brother, he should have been there, reinforcing the external speculation that the third son of the Qi Family was in a grave condition.

It was clear that Qi Zhen, Xiu Fengyuan, and Lu Yuhong had all suffered injuries at the same time. Even though the severity of their injuries varied, there was a vast disparity in their current conditions.

This naturally led people to once again marvel at the skill of the Divine Doctor from King Rui’s Residence.

What a pity, the doctor’s prodigious skill was short-lived as he had already passed away.

Wei Qingwan was carried into King Yu’s Residence in a bridal sedan chair.

While the queen, Qi Shijing, entered through the main gate, she entered through a side door.

After leaving the sedan chair, Wei Qingwan was supported by her maid, Cuihe, and led to her residence, Cuiting Pavilion, by a maid of the Wang Residence.

Most of the people in King Yu’s Residence were visiting the queen, making Cuiting Pavilion comparatively deserted.

At night, Wei Qingwan sat on the edge of her bed.

The occasional crackling sounds of the candle filled the room with silence, where Wei Qingwan could hear her own breathing and the sound of servants moving outside her room.

Her accompanying maid, Li Momo, and Cuihe were waiting in the room.

Most likely, King Yu would not be visiting the concubine’s chambers tonight, but Wei Qingwan held out a sliver of hope for an audience with him.

As time ticked past, King Yu did not appear in Cuiting Pavilion as she had hoped.

By midnight, without any sight of King Yu, Li Momo and Cuihe helped Wei Qingwan undress and prepare for sleep.

As she undressed from her meticulously prepared wedding attire, Wei Qingwan’s mood visibly darkened.

King Yu had not set eyes on her in that wedding dress.

Noticing Wei Qingwan’s gloomy mood, Cuihe comforted her, “Miss, you must get some sleep. There’s a reason the Prince couldn’t come tonight, don’t take it to heart.”
