Two months later, the sun shone brightly on Tang Xue Mei's wedding day, casting a warm golden hue over the beautiful garden where the ceremony was set to take place. Delicate white flowers adorned the archway, and soft music floated through the air as guests mingled, their laughter echoing among the trees.
Xue Mei stood in her bridal suite, a vision in her elegant wedding dress. The fabric flowed beautifully around her, and a delicate veil framed her face. She felt a mixture of excitement and anxiety bubbling within her, knowing that today was not just a celebration of love but also a strategic move to draw out the villain who had haunted her family for far too long.
"Are you ready?" asked Auntie Gu, who had been with her through every step of the journey. Her voice was soothing, cutting through the tension in the room.
