Chapter 261: My Concubine Can’t Wear Red
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lin Qin walked in front of Su Dingheng and said softly, “Marquis Su, had you been blinded by the joyous occasion and forgotten the etiquette of our Great Cheng Dynasty? This was the main entrance of the Marquis’s residence, and it was the center of attention. How could a concubine enter through the main entrance? Besides, how could this concubine be worthy of wearing red?”
Su Dingheng came to a sudden realization. He quickly let go of Liu Shulan’s hand and backed away from the door of the sedan.
He looked gratefully at Lin Qin. “Thank you for your reminder, Lord Lin. Otherwise, it would have been extremely embarrassing!”
“Marquis, why didn’t you quickly get someone in the residence to prepare a set of clothes for Lady Liu to change into? If today’s matter had spread, even if I hadn’t said it, wouldn’t there have been people who would have complained about Marquis in the Hall of Diligent Government tomorrow?” Lin Qin deliberately made the matter sound more serious.
He was in charge of the Ministry of Rites and was a third-rank official with a higher rank than Su Dingheng. Su Dingheng didn’t suspect him and immediately waved his hand to order the servants. “Men, quickly change into a wedding dress! It can’t be red!”
“Marquis, this… We hadn’t prepared anything!” The butler was a little embarrassed.
Which family would have prepared a second wedding dress for their wedding?
And even if Marquis had forgotten that concubines couldn’t wear red, did this married lady not know?
Or did she think that she could enter the house just because she treated herself as the first wife?
When Su Yurou heard Su Dingheng’s words, she stomped her feet in anger. She tugged at Su Dingheng’s sleeve and acted coquettishly. “Father, Mother waited for you for so many years. How could you have treated her ? If she couldn’t enter through the main entrance, did she have to change her wedding dress on the street?”
This had been a great humiliation for the married woman!
Su Jinxuan had always been a man of few words, but he couldn’t hold it in any longer. “Father, it would have been fine if we hadn’t entered through the main entrance. At that moment, I was afraid it would have been difficult to find a second wedding dress that wasn’t red. Why didn’t we let Mother enter the residence first?”
“This…” Su Dingheng had been in a difficult position.
Lin Qin hadn’t said anything else, but he had kept a stern expression as he stood at the side. The words ‘etiquette cannot be overstepped’ seemed to have been written on his face.
Su Dingheng had been like an ant on a hot pan. Marrying Liu Shulan had been important, but his official position had not been able to be ignored on this occasion!
If he had to choose between others and an official position, he would have chosen the latter without hesitation!
“Miss, the clothes are here,” Zhilan had come out from the crowd and had carried a tray to Su Yingxue’s side.
Su Yingxue had caressed the orange wedding dress and had smiled.
When Su Hao had seen her holding the wedding dress and walking to Su Dingheng’s side, his eyes had been filled with doubt. “When did she have prepared all these?”
Fortunately, Shu Yan had stood beside him and had told him, “Miss had already prepared it. Zhilan had personally sewn this dress!”
Shu Yan had looked at Su Yingxue now, and his eyes had been shining. It had not been because of anything else, but because he had felt that Su Yingxue’s brain had been a little too good. It had been as if she had predicted everything that had happened that day.
Su Yingxue had pushed the wedding dress to Su Dingheng’s side and had said gently, “I had prepared a wedding dress for Aunt Liu without permission. At that moment, I wondered if Aunt Liu would have been willing to change into it?”
Su Dingheng had turned his head and had seen the orange-red wedding dress. His eyes instantly lit up as he praised Su Yingxue repeatedly, “You have been a thoughtful child! Quickly, bring it to your aunt to change into!”
“Father, it would have been unlucky for a woman to change her wedding dress on the day of marriage.” Su Jinxuan had looked at Su Yingxue with a dark gaze.
He hadn’t forgotten what Su Yingxue had done at the Wangjiang Tower last time!
Now, he wouldn’t have let her harm his mother so easily.
“Yes, Father! How could you have made your mother suffer ? What red tape? Don’t tell me it couldn’t have compared to Mother’s position in your heart?” Su Yurou’s eyes had turned red..
