A pair of red candles flashed with flames happily, and a drop of wax tears dripped down, as shocking as blood tears.
On the wall behind the red candle, there was a big red character "Xi". Against the red candle, it reflected a different luster!
On the red wedding bed lay a bride dressed in red, but her hands and feet were tied up by hemp ropes, and her eyes were tightly closed.
Outside the door, there were messy footsteps. Then, with a "creak", the door was pushed open.
Among the four women, one was a little older and looked about 50 years old. The other three women were probably in their twenties. Behind them was a young man in a brand new Chinese tunic suit. Although he looked a little dark, he was not ugly in Chinese tunic suit. Instead, he had a kind of masculine beauty.
"Mom, why is this woman still not awake?" A woman in a floral coat walked to the bed and looked down. When she saw that the woman lying on the bed had not woken up, she turned her head to ask the older woman behind her, looking like she was watching a show.
Lyu Shuzhen looked at the woman who was talking and glared at her. "Don't think that she didn't see through my brother's mind. How can she care about him? She is obviously watching a joke!"
Xie Xianglu was afraid of Lyu Shuzhen. She had been scared since the day she got married. Her glance scared her to take a step back and she restrained the sneer in her eyes. However, she was more interested in watching the fun.
Lyu Shuzhen stepped forward and carefully observed the woman lying on the brick bed.
The other two women looked at each other and stopped one meter away from the brick bed. They didn't go forward.
It was at this moment that Shu Yi'an woke up. When he opened his eyes and saw a big face, he was shocked. He wanted to get up, only to find that his hands and feet were tied up, and his eyes bulged out of shock.
Lyu Shuzhen was lying in front of Shu Yi'an's face. When she saw her suddenly open her eyes, she was also shocked. She took a step back and looked at her cautiously.
When Shu Yi'an saw the word " joy" on the wall, his pupils suddenly contracted!
Lyu Shuzhen chuckled. "Yi'an, you're awake." When she saw her tied hands and feet, her eyes flashed with pity, but she had no choice. If she didn't tie them up, she wouldn't marry her son.
There seemed to be thousands of horses galloping in his mind. Shu Yi'an was surprised at first, and then slowly calmed down. He looked at the man who had been sitting on the chair and did not speak.
Cheng Haifeng took a look at Shu Yi'an, but what he saw was nothing but disgust.
Shu Yi'an pursed his lips and looked at Lyu Shuzhen. "Auntie, please untie the rope for me."
"I don't understand. What if you..." Lyu Shuzhen didn't say the last four words, but the meaning in her eyes was clear.
She had four sons, and three of them were already married. The eldest son was the "child marriage" appointed by the old man and the Shu family when he was alive. In order to make the old man die in peace, this marriage must be fulfilled, whether it was Shu Yi'an or her son!
"I won't run. Please untie the rope for me," Shu Yi'an sat up and said flatly.
Hearing this, everyone in the room looked at Shu Yi'an suspiciously. When they got married in the daytime, she had made a lot of noise. Fortunately, Shu Yi'an's father had suggested that she tie her hands and feet up so that they could stop. Otherwise, it was hard to say whether they could get married or not.
"I said I won't run away, so I won't run." Shu Yi'an looked at Lyu Shuzhen coldly.
Lyu Shuzhen looked at the calmness in Shu Yi'an's eyes and thought that she had accepted it. She stepped forward to untie the rope for her, but she still threatened her. "Yi'an, your family has accepted your betrothal gift and your marriage with Haifeng has been settled. This matter is already settled. You are not allowed to make any more trouble."
"I know." Looking at the bruise on her wrist, Shu Yi'an got up, which startled everyone.
"Haifeng, close the door." Lyu Shuzhen thought that Shu Yi'an was going to run, so she turned to her son and shouted.
Shu Yi'an was speechless. He pursed his lips and pointed at the basin behind the door. "I just want to wash my face."
Lyu Shuzhen smiled awkwardly, but she did not regret her actions at all. Who knew whether Shu Yi'an was telling the truth or not? It was right to be on guard.
Shu Yi'an did not look at anyone. He walked behind the door and washed his face and hands with warm water.
"Mom, it's getting late. You and your sister-in-law should go back and rest." Cheng Haifeng, who had not spoken for a long time, stood up from the chair and looked at Shu Yi'an.
Lyu Shuzhen blushed. She had resisted this marriage before, but now she was in a hurry to drive them away. It seemed that she could have grandchildren next year.
Oh, no, she's still my granddaughter.
Thinking of the other three sons, except for the second one who had two sons, the third one and the fourth one had three sons in front of them, but none of them had a granddaughter, he felt a little upset.
Looking at Shu Yi'an's flat abdomen, she hoped that she could work hard and give birth to a daughter for the Old Cheng family. Looking at those grandchildren now gave her a headache.

"Comrade Shu Yi'an, if you go back on your word, I'll let you go now."
Shu Yi'an was wiping his face with a towel. When he heard this, he turned his head to look at Cheng Haifeng. Seeing his sincere face, it seemed that he was not lying. His heart sank. "I don't regret it."
Cheng Haifeng took two steps forward and walked up to Shu Yi'an. He said righteously, "Comrade Shu Yi'an, I am a veteran. Although I have retired now, I don't give in to my lust. My mother blamed me. I'm responsible for it. There were too many people during the day. I can't let you go, but now I can."
"No need." Shu Yi'an put down the towel and looked at the brick bed. She pursed her lips, opened the cabinet, took out a new set of bedding, and consciously laid it on the floor.
Cheng Haifeng looked at Shu Yi'an lying on the ground and scratched his head. What did he mean?
He made such a big scene during the day, as if he would die in front of him if he married him. How could he be willing now?
Looking at the window, it was completely dark. Then he looked at Shu Yi'an and Cheng Haifeng lay down on the brick bed.

When the lights in the room went out, Shu Yi'an opened his eyes. In the dark night, a pair of big eyes kept blinking like stars in the dark night.
Shu Yi'an had never expected that she would be reborn and be reborn on the day of their marriage.
Her family lived in the village next door. Her father and Cheng Haifeng's father were comrades-in-arms. They had always been on good terms. When they were young, they had arranged a "child marriage" between her and Cheng Haifeng. At that time, she and Cheng Haifeng were still young, so she did not know what "child marriage" was for. Both of them did not object.
Although the two families' fathers were very close, it was a pity that Cheng Haifeng's father died when he was eight years old, and the two families no longer had contact. In these years, it was not that no one came to talk about marriage, but it was blocked by her father with her "child marriage". Her father was a person who valued promises. Although Cheng Haifeng's father was dead, as long as the Cheng family did not say that this marriage did not count, he would not marry his daughter to someone else.
Until last month, Cheng Haifeng's mother went to her father and said that she should fulfill the "child marriage" that the two families had agreed on. Her father made the decision at that time.
