Everyone wore red flowers, looking extremely festive.

The scene was grand.

It truly shocked everyone.

Regardless of gender, everyone was so jealous their eyes were about to burst.

Is there really such good fortune in this world? Is it really possible to soar to become a phoenix?

For women, turning over a new leaf at best meant becoming a concubine to a high official.

But Chad Sullivan turned over a new leaf and actually became the husband of a female general?

There can be several concubines, but only one husband.

Especially in the Great Wu Empire, where the husband is considered the head of the household.

Emily Parker looked at Chad Sullivan and said, “Duan Lang, I’ve come to take you home.”

As soon as she said this, all the clients and all the girls in the hall applauded enthusiastically.

Maybe before they were envious and jealous, but now there was only blessing.

Especially these young men, who saw hope in Chad Sullivan.

Maybe in the future, a rich, powerful, and blind woman would take a fancy to them, marry them, and they too could live a life of luxury?

Mrs. Carter said, “Lord Emily Parker, Xiao Yu is my treasure. Before you take him home, why not hold a banquet here at Xianyin Pavilion?

Though we are humble here, it is still Xiao Yu’s home.”

Mrs. Carter spoke joyfully, but her eyes were filled with reluctance and a trace of worry.

She had indulged and raised Chad Sullivan for many years, hoping he would find a good home, but she felt that a noblewoman like Emily Parker might not be the best choice.

She always thought it would be best for Chad Sullivan to save enough money, go somewhere no one knew him, and find a well-educated, reasonable common girl.

But what’s done is done, and Mrs. Carter couldn’t stop it—she just wanted to give Chad Sullivan a simple yet dignified farewell.

Chad Sullivan also said, “Mochou, patronize me one more time.”

Emily Parker replied, “Alright, as you wish, Duan Lang.”

Then, Mrs. Carter immediately decorated Chad Sullivan’s small building with lanterns and streamers, and pasted big red double happiness characters everywhere.

She also set a table with fine wine and delicacies inside.

The entire Xianyin Pavilion was bright and festive, with several tables of wedding wine, all celebrating for Chad Sullivan.

Emily Parker entered the small building where Chad Sullivan was, and the dozens of warriors she brought surrounded the building completely, not allowing anyone to approach.

And the bridal sedan was placed right at the door.

After the banquet at Xianyin Pavilion, Chad Sullivan got into the sedan and went back to the Yin residence to marry Mochou.

From then on, you’ll be responsible for earning money to support the family, and I’ll be responsible for being beautiful as a flower.

You’ll be responsible for prosperity and success, and I’ll be responsible for spending money and squandering.

We’re truly a match made in heaven—a pair of scoundrels.

Who needs a system?

Who needs a golden finger?

My peerless looks are the best golden finger.

Who says a golden finger has to be a finger? Anything of a similar shape works.

No system, transmigrated to another world, and still enjoying wealth and glory.

Hahahahaha!

Jiejiejie!

……Inside the small building, it was as warm as spring.

Emily Parker nestled in Chad Sullivan’s arms. She first poured fine wine into Chad Sullivan’s mouth, then fed it mouth-to-mouth into her own.

Soon, her eyes were sultry and her breathing quickened.

“Is your cough better?”

Chad Sullivan asked.

“Mm.”

Emily Parker said, “Your medical skills are excellent—you cured me.”

Chad Sullivan said, “Then do you have any other ailments?

I can help you with those too.”

Emily Parker said, “Emptiness, loneliness, and cold.”

Chad Sullivan said, “Well, I just happen to be able to make you feel fulfilled and warm.”

The two of them continued to whisper sweet nothings, talking about their hopes for the future.

“Did your brother agree to our marriage?”

Chad Sullivan asked.

Emily Parker nodded, “Yes, he agreed.”

Chad Sullivan was stunned. How could that be?

He was the Prefect of Yingzhou, a high-ranking official of the Great Wu Empire. Chad Sullivan had inquired about this lord these past few days—he was known to be extremely strict and old-fashioned. How could he possibly agree to let his sister marry a brothel man?

Chad Sullivan asked, “How did you manage that?”

Emily Parker said, “Duan Lang, you don’t need to worry about all that. Just know that my brother has agreed.”

There must be some hidden reason here. Otherwise, even if you killed him, he wouldn’t have agreed.

“Duan Lang, from now on, we’ll depend on each other for life.

I don’t mind that you worked in a brothel, and you shouldn’t mind that I’ve been married before.”

Emily Parker took a sip of wine and sighed softly, still looking a bit troubled.

Chad Sullivan asked, “What’s wrong?

Is there something bothering you?”

Emily Parker hesitated to speak.

“We’re about to be husband and wife. Is there anything you can’t tell me?”

Chad Sullivan asked.

Emily Parker said, “There’s something I did that goes against my conscience, and it’s been weighing on my heart.”

Chad Sullivan said, “I’m about to be the closest person to you. Whatever it is, don’t keep it bottled up.”
