Chapter 173: Chapter 128 Bringing Home a Beauty_1

Alright then!

The little maid Qiao’er felt rather helpless, but as the mistress dictated, so she followed.

She pondered, how could she deliver this poem to the new groom amidst such a large crowd?

Meanwhile, in the courtyard.

Wang Shouzhe took time to sit leisurely on a stone bench and began to contemplate.

Honestly, Yuanrui’s poem had placed a great deal of pressure on him.

As a transmigrator filled with ancient poetry and prose, he could choose any renowned piece at random and it would defeat Liu Yuanrui’s.

Nevertheless, this was his own wedding, and he wanted to write a poem himself, no matter how imperfect it might be, it was still his. The idea of using plagiarized poems to deceive his wife just didn’t sit well with him.

Liu Yuanrui and others didn’t push him, they watched their brother-in-law bemused as he wrestled with his thoughts. They knew that composing a poem wasn’t easy, especially a good one.

At this moment.

The maid Qiao’er from the backyard hurried out, pushing through the crowd and bumping heavily into Wang Shouzhe.

“Oh, I’m so sorry, new groom. I walked too hastily and bumped into you. Did it hurt?”

While Wang Shouzhe was stunned, the maid slyly slipped a paper into his hand, then winked at him, indicating you know what.

Then, she bolted away.

The girl certainly breezed in and out like a gust of wind,

which left Wang Shouzhe both amused and bemused. It felt as if the lady in the back was becoming impatient, sending a small maid to give him a completed poem.

Wasn’t this cheating?

Well, how can a wife helping her husband be considered cheating?

This was called love!

Thinking of this, Wang Shouzhe felt a slight warmth in his heart.

But Liu Yuanrui had been left standing there stunned.

Wasn’t that Qiao’er, the maid who serves my sister?

She barged into my brother-in-law, stuffed a piece of paper into his hands, right in front of everyone, do they think everyone’s blind?

This was blatant cheating!

In an instant, Liu Yuanrui felt tears well in his eyes. He had worked hard to support his sister, yet everyone seemed determined to undermine her.

If you’re going to cheat, at least be subtle about it, and spare some dignity.

Qjao’er’s technique was indeed clumsy.

The other young uncles and aunts had also seen this, but they all kept mum, as if they hadn’t seen anything.

It was clear that the lady in the back was helping the new groom cheat; who dared to cross her after years of accumulated power?

Feeling helpless, Liu Yuanrui said, “Brother-in-law, have you finished thinking? Let’s get started.”

Considering the poem was from his sister, no matter how it turned out, they would cheer for it. Otherwise, if they annoyed his sister, the consequences were unimaginable.

The siblings nodded in agreement, “Yes, let’s start, brother-in-law.”

But Wang Shouzhe shook his head, saying no, no, I still haven’t thought it through.

This provoked an eye roll from Liu Yuanrui.

How long was he going to play pretend? It was obvious that my sister was helping him cheat, yet he was still claiming to not have thought it through.

Alright then, perform to your heart’s content, since my sister herself decided to help out.

After a while, Wang Shouzhe finally stood up, “I have thought it out. Yuanrui’s poem was very good. As the brother-in-law, I can only attempt to match it. Forgive me if it doesn’t turn out well.”

“Alright then, bring it on, brother-in-law.”

The siblings started cheering, looking forward to hearing the poem. Everyone knew that Wang Shouzhe’s poem had been composed by the sister in the back, so no matter what, they were obliged to applaud enthusiastically.

Wang Shouzhe started reciting with hands clasped behind his back, pacing a bit in the courtyard, “The Goddess in her Immortal Palace pities Life on earth, Holding the halberd, she stands watch through the long night.”

iQll

Upon hearing this, an image sparked in everyone’s mind, it seemed to tell the story of a goddess in her heavenly palace, concerned for Life on earth, dealing with mortal affairs while a guard holding a halberd stood watch at the palace gate, accompanying her through the long night.

Before they could process this, Wang Shouzhe recited the next line, “The wheel of Epoch turns a thousand times, Until they unite as one in the mortal realm.”

The siblings began to comprehend. This was a story where their sister was the goddess who cared for Life, and the brother-in-law was the silent guardian.

The goddess, whether for the sake of redeeming Life or not, descended to the mortal realm and fate led her to the faithful guardian, leading to their union.

It sounded pretty good, the sister had been exalted very highly.

Then they began to cheer loudly, this was a poem written by their sister, and it was quite tastefully done.

“No, this isn’t right!” Liu Yuanrui exclaimed, “This isn’t my sister’s work. She would never portray herself as a goddess and the brother-in-law as a night watchman.”

“Oh, really?” the siblings realized, but then again, brother-in-law’s poem was quite decent, it just fell a bit short on something.

“It’s good enough. The brother-in-law is already versatile for this standard.”

“Indeed, even though it falls slightly short compared to Yuanrui’s poem, he certainly raised our sister’s status.” The Liu family had always encouraged the appreciation of culture, everyone had discerning tastes.

“He made it, he made it.” Liu Ruolei immediately exclaimed joyously, “Everyone step aside, don’t delay the groom in receiving his bride.”
