The people at the guild didn't know that this "son-in-law living with his wife's family" and his wife slept separately, so after the banquet ended, they continued to make noise.
The children of the families being protected formed groups of three to five, chasing playfully, swarming around to create a wedding night prank.
The shadows of the trees danced, and the flowers began to bloom...
The guards, maids, and aunts laughed as they followed the children, crowding through the corridor to the courtyard gate like an invading army at night.
Song Cheng had drunk quite a lot today.
Because it tasted good, and usually, he couldn't afford it.
Thinking of marrying a "White rich beauty," and the future he would build in this guild as his home, he felt both happy and expectant.
The surging intoxication unearthed the repressed pain and suffering from his memories of crossing over.
The journey so far had been a series of stumbles, not easy at all.
