Paternity Court
All the guests took their seats and craned their necks to look. Outside, the music began. The wedding procession slowly walked towards the main room. Wang Jingyuan paid no attention to the people at the front of the procession. Her eyes were locked on the two people walking side by side at the center—Shao Wenbo and Xie Yixiang, both dressed from head to toe in red with gold embroidery. Each held one end of a bolt of red silk, which formed a giant round red flower in the center between them. In the bride's other hand was an embroidered fan that shielded her face from the onlookers.
