The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

Chapter 488



Chapter 488

Qin Zening looked at Qin Jiu with complex eyes as she walked lightly towards them, recalling the way she looked when she first returned to the capital in the tenth month of last year. At that time, she was thin and petite, and although she had suffered so much, she was still lively and cheerful… This only made him feel even more distressed.

His parents were gone, and as the eldest brother, he was like a father. On the day of his mother’s death, she held his hand and told him to take good care of his younger siblings, but he was not able to do it. He let his sister wander for many years!

In the past year, he intended to make up for it, but the year has been too short…

Just over a year.

That’s right, it was only just over a year but he felt as if he had been with his sister for several years, so he felt reluctant to let her get married so early…

“Big Brother!” Qin Jiu took Qin Zening’s left arm intimately, smiling like a flower. “It’s so cold here, why don’t you go sit inside!”

“Yes, yes!” Qin Zeyu took Qin Zening’s right arm and pulled him towards the courtyard as well. “Brother, I’m freezing to death!”

Qin Zening reluctantly allowed her younger siblings to drag him into the room, which felt like he had reaped his benefits and was quite satisfied.

After chatting and laughing for a while, the siblings went to Ronghe Hall together to have dinner with Old Madam Qin. This would be Qin Jiu’s last dinner at Marquis’s Mansion before marriage.

Thinking of his younger sister getting married, Qin Zening lost his appetite at all while Old Madam Qin desperately tried to persuade Qin Jiu to eat more, saying that she would be hungry tomorrow.

Not only would she be hungry, but it would also be difficult for her to sleep well!

The next day, the rooster crowed, and Qin Jiu, who was still sleeping soundly, was woken up by Duan Rou and dragged up from her bed with two other maidservants sent by the palace. They washed, bathed, and dressed Qin Jiu, after which they started combing and twisting her hair, putting on makeup and her Phoenix crown.

She was like a puppet from beginning to end, doing whatever they asked her to do. The heavy phoenix crown weighed her down, making her drowsier; she only remembered being pulled away to bid farewell to Old Madam Qin amid a shout “The bridal sedan chair has arrived.” She was then placed in a bridal sedan chair by Qin Zening.

The flower sedan chair swayed amidst the lively sound of blowing and beating as she was carried out by Marquis Zhongyi’s Mansion. Outside the sedan chair, the sound of blowing and crackling firecrackers was deafening, however, Qin Jiu felt that these sounds seemed distant, as if they were separated from her by a thick barrier.

After feeling as if she was being shaken in a stick of incense, she steadily descended from the sedan chair.

When the sedan chair was put down, the groom shoots three arrows without arrowheads and snaps them into half, and a slender and beautiful hand hits her eyes just below her red veil.

The fingers were like jade, slender like bamboo, and had distinct joints.

The sunlight seemed to have coated the hands with a faint layer of gold halo, and the neatly trimmed nails shimmered with a pearl-like luster.

Qin Jiu was too familiar with this hand.

It was this hand that she saw when she first met Gu Zezhi.
