OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 68 OF THE GREAT LORD'S WRATH
“Honor to heaven and earth!” squeak the elder who leads the traditional wedding procession. The two brides raised the incense and performed the homage three times.
“Honor to ancestors!” Just like the previous reverence, Yue Yan and her husband raised an incense stick above their heads and bowed respectfully to their ancestors as a symbol begging for blessing for a new life.
In the midst of the boisterous guest, extended family to the media crew who covered this event from the beginning to the present, in fact did not bring happiness to Xin Er. He repeatedly spread his gaze around, looking for the figure he was waiting for but never present. The event had already taken place halfway through the schedule, Xin Er started to fret, what hindered Xiao Jun from appearing until the important ceremony started.
Li San and Liang Jia are still preoccupied with a series of customary processions. Xin Er could calm down a little, at this moment surely the great master would not question Xiao Jun's whereabouts. Xin Er's nervousness sucked the attention of Chen Kho who was indeed relaxed and feeling bored should bear witness to a stiff marriage in ancient customs. He was observing Xin Er who was putting on a suspicious face.
“Brother, why are you so comfortable here? Is there anything interesting that you forgot to go home?” chirping Grace suddenly surprised Chen Kho. His younger brother was seeking attention after a long time without seeing each other.
“Hmmm... small children just want to know adult affairs!” Tempted Chen Kho while touching the tip of Grace's nose.
Grace felt uncomfortable getting treated like a child, she rubbed her itchy nose because of the touch of her brother's fingers. “Who is a child, I am almost 18 years old!”
“Hihihi.. if so you are ready to marry dong? Tuh Yue Yan can only be considered an adult, if you are still a boy!” goda Chen Kho, despite being confronted by Grace but his attention is not diverted from
Xin Er's. He could guess there was something interesting and should not be missed from the old woman.
“Huh... getting married in a hurry what a good thing! I still haven't finished traveling around the world, don't want to be someone's first wife!” exclaim Grace arrogantly.
“Haha. Let's see, if you find a man who makes your heart beat faster, do you still refuse to marry young?” challenge Chen Kho
even if he doesn't mean it.
Grace was too enthusiastic, her brother teased her even though he only intended to be a little spoiled. He will not let himself lose face, “Huh.we bet only, if the guess of brother is right I want my apartment in Paris to be yours. But if you lose, you have to pay twice that!” grace is serious about the challenge.
Chen Kho smiled amusedly, “You said, don't regret it!” He simply follows Grace's will to free her from indulgence immediately.
The sacred and complicated procession was nearing the end of the event. Chen Kho again monitored the movements of Xin Er, the anxiety on the face of the woman who had several wrinkles was suddenly rilex when looking at the outside. Chen Kho followed the direction of his gaze to find out if anything caught his eye.
A middle-aged man walked in upright, a man Chen Kho had yet to recognize yet seemed to be quite influential. He immediately mixed with the crowd of other guests as a living witness of the two
a large family that is influential to the business empire of both parties. Until finally the wedding ceremony was completed, and one by one the guests left the main hall to go to the reception building. The party will continue with a more relaxed and fun event.
“Kakak, let's go!” Grace again teased Chen Kho, he did not hesitate to hold his hand and dragged him away.
Chen Kho held back the pull of his weak sister, “You left first with father, there is something I want to do first.”
“Huh... alright.” Grace had no choice, the formal atmosphere inviting unbearable drowsiness. It is better that he immediately go to the reception building and enjoy the delicious dishes.
As the room began to remain Li San's nuclear family, the opportunity was used by Xin Er to glance at Lau's bodyguards. Unfortunately the strict manners in this residence created a distance between them. Through the gaze alone Lau can guess the curiosity of his master's birth mother. Lau took the initiative to pay homage to Li San first before his existence was realized and then considered impolite.
“Hamba facing the Big Lord. Congratulations on the marriage of the first lady, may their marriage soon get offspring and give glory to both families.” Lau bent his knees paying his respects,
his head was bowed with a flat gaze leading to a fist.
Li San who was fond of praise immediately laughed happily at the prayer from Lau. Although sent out of the country, but the manners and obedience of the bodyguard did not fade in the slightest.
“Stand! It's my happy day, no need to hesitate.” Li San's orders. A second later he realized something was lacking in Lau's presence.
“Why did you come alone? Where is Li Xiao Jun?” li San's intonation increased when emphasizing his son's name. He did not care to surprise people around, all he wanted was to see his son right now.
Xin Er seemed to be unable to breathe, she was very frightened right now. If this time Xiao Jun made trouble, Li San might have fatal consequences.
Lau, who had been allowed to stand on his knees, begged for forgiveness. “Even the great sir, being impeded by the sudden business of work, master Xiao Jun could not leave the office immediately.
Li San's countenance changed, his face flushed red with anger. He kicked a wooden chair that was originally used for a tribute ceremony. Because of the power of anger, the innocent chair was broken
in pieces due to impingement.
“No Becus! One month earlier had been warned to go home, but could not manage the time. Is he messing around in there? Or does he not intend to go home? Looks like he's forgotten the family rule!” li San exclaimed with a thunderous voice.
Xin Er immediately ran to face Li San and kowtowed. “Please kindly lord big. Young master couldn't possibly have intentionally done this. Servant willingly changed lives to make up for her mistake.”
Lau was jolted, never did he expect the impact would be that bad. Li San might have agreed to Xin Er's request if her anger didn't subside. How would he explain to Xiao Jun later? Xiao Jun would definitely rebel for revenge. Bad thoughts continued in Lau's mind.
“My husband, what commotion is going on here?” Liang Jia immediately returned to the hall when she got a report from her bodyguards about the commotion that had occurred. She had just delivered Yue Yan back to the bridal room for a make up retouch.
The entire room was silent for a moment when Liang Jia arrived, Li San did not even intend to explain anything. Liang Jia looked at Xin Er who was kneeling with her legs trembling from being too long in a bent position.
While Lau still looks calm despite facing fatal problems.
“Oh, Lau's bodyguard is home. Where's Xiao Jun?” Liang Jia pretended not to know what had happened before.
“Honor to the great mistress. Please forgive the young master for not being able to attend the first lady's wedding. Young master there is a very sudden business, we have boarded the plane but sir
got an emergency call so forced to cancel this trip and ask me to stay back.” Lau made a real confession.
“You heard! The boy was getting sassy, what an emergency until he dared to ignore my orders!” Li San's rampage exploded again.
Liang Jia was silent for a moment, he needed a clear mind to get the words out. A wrong word could result in someone's life being lost. “Lau has been a bodyguard for decades, his father and grandfather also serve our family. It is unlikely that he would dare to lie. Xiao Jun is also an obedient child, he responded to your orders to go home. I made sure of it myself, and we know he's the kid who always keeps it
his speech. Maybe this is indeed the best choice for the continuity of your business there. Never mind, leave it alone for this time.”
Li San looked seriously at Liang Jia, trying to seek earnestness from the advice he had thrown. The emotional old man seemed to be pondering, need he to get rid of his son's mistake this time around?
“I'll spare your lives if you can prove your confession is true. Call Xiao Jun now!” pekik Li San was firm.
Lau paled for a moment, Li San held full power over all orders. He could not escape his mandate, but if he were to contact Xiao Jun right now it was possible that his master was with Weini. Finish Xin Er and Lau's story if it happens.
“PHONE!!!” Li San rebuked with a tantrum that made my feathers stand up.
Lau had no other choice, he dropped his cell phone and contacted Xiao Jun via video call. Several missed calls from across, Lau began to be unable to cover his nervousness.
“PHONE UNTIL HE LIFTS UP, OR I'LL BEHEAD YOU BOTH!”
The silent atmosphere echoed Li San's cry. No one dared to dwell when the ruler ascended apoplexy. Lau keeps repeating the call, sir please.I'm not afraid to die for you but don't let your mother.
being dragged into the victim. Please lift…
“Halo, uncle. Have you met my mother?”
Xiao Jun's loud voice rang out through the speaker's diloud call. Xin Er and Liang Jia almost collapsed upon hearing the first words that Xiao Jun spoke were precisely about his mother.
Li San adjusted his breathing which started to sting, “LACK!!!”
