Assassin Farmer

was already like this, then what will happen tonight? Aunt Lao said, noon was just the tip of the iceberg, the real big party was tonight.

Oh… Su Shuilian became gloomy, in the future, she would have to learn to brew some alcohol that is not as strong, like previously, when her brother brought back that grape wine from France.

In the end, Su Shuilian was brought back to their house with the help of Lin Si Yao, holding her waist.
Fortunately, because of the intense sun, everyone stayed at home.
The ones who had witnessed this scene were the families invited to their banquet, so the only reactions were further teasing, but none with ill-intent.

”Don ’t worry and take a short nap, I ’ll be outside. ” Lin Si Yao said as he let Su Shuilian down onto the bed and pulled the blanket to her chest.
Then, he walked to the backyard, seeing that the wolves had finished their bowl of meat soup and rice and had gone to sleep in their dog house, he picked up the empty bowl and rinsed them at the water tank.
He filled them with water and placed the bowls in front of the doghouse, so that the wolves could drink after waking up.

With this, he went back into the main room to prepare for their wedding event.

Following the instructions that Aunt Lao had said, he collected the previous food offerings and put them onto two large plates and refilled the previous six plates with new desserts and fruits.
He then changed the tea and wine cups as well.
He took the used candles and incense and put them in the miscellaneous cabinet in the kitchen to be used for future nights.
He placed new candles and incense into the candle holders and censer.
 

When everything was completed, he walked back into the bedroom and saw Su shuilian was still sleeping soundly.
 Maybe it was because of the multiple cups of sorghum wine he had drank, Lin Si Yao fell asleep on the other side of the bed…

Su Shuilian had dreamt again back to her previous Su House.
In this dream, she had told everyone about her wedding, resulting in various reactions from everyone, anger, sadness, disappointment, gloat, but only her mother, Li Ruxi, smiled and nodded at her: who cares if he was a killer, as long as he loves you, that ’s all that matters.

Her mother must be comparing it to her life.
Father… favored second wife over her.
But because of her First Madam position, she was forced to smile and endure.
It must have been because of this, that since she was young, she had rarely seen her mother truly laugh from the  heart.

Su Shuilian watched reluctantly as she saw Li Ruoxi who had maintained a strong front all her life slowly start to disappear in front of her.
She could not help but reach out to grab her, shouting, ”Mother……mother… ”

”Shuilian! Shuilian! ”

Who? Calling out her name so gently, yet anxiously.
Su Shuilian wiped her tearful eyes.
Mother, you have to take care of yourself.

”Shuilian… ” Someone was calling out her maiden name again and again.
She curiously opened her eyes.
Where is this?

Oh yes, this was the her bedroom that she would soon share with Lin Si Yao.
And today was their happy marriage day.

Ah! Realising this, Su Shuilian sat up.
With two cups of sorghum wine, she had passed out instead of taking a short nap.
There was still so much to do.

”Don ’t worry, we still have some time until the event. ” Lin Si Yao ’s low voice sounded by her ear, scaring Su Shuilian.
She turned her head and saw Lin Si Yao sitting on the bed beside her looking at her with bright eyes, wearing only his inner clothes.

”You… ” Su Shuilian turned bright red before covering her eyes, ”Shouldn ’t you quickly put some clothes on! ”

”Don ’t overthink. ” Seeing her reaction, Lin Si Yao was between laughter and tears.
”Your tears had soaked my clothes, and since we will soon change into our wedding gowns, I just took off my outer clothes. ”

When Su Shuilian heard his explanation, she thought back to her dream and dazed off a bit.

”What happened? ” Lin Si Yao helped her sit by the bedside, seeing her sad expression, he could not help but frown and ask.
Before, he was awoken by her cry, he had thought she was having a nightmare.
But how could a nightmare be saddening? His mind flashed with uneasiness, could it be that she had regret her decision of wanting to marrying him? Lin Si Yao subconsciously clenched his fist, causing a few of his finger knuckles to crack from the force.

”I… dreamt of my mother. ” When Su Shuilian came back from her daze, she remember her mother ’s words: For a husband and wife to be together, mutual understanding is precious.
She could not help but become shy.
When she turned and saw Lin Si Yao ’s whitened face, she reached out to feel his face before asking, ”A Yao, are you alright? ”

Lin Si Yao shook his head, taking her hands into his, he brought them to his cheeks, ”I thought… ”

”I dreamt about my mother and the rest of the Su family and told them I was about to marry… ” Su Shuilian took the courage to continue, as some words must be said, or else there will be regret, ”A Yao, from now on, you are my future… ”

”Shuilian… my wife… ” Lin Si Yao said with a sigh.

From that sound by her ear, Su Shuilian could not help but feel distress, ”A Yao, from now on, if anything happens, let’s not keep it in, and always tell each other. ” She will remember her mother ’s words, and would try to keep her and Lin Si Yao from taking the same path  as her mother and father.

Lin Si Yao solemnly nodded his head, he then took her into his embrace and hugged her for a long time…
