3 The Secret of Wei

Wedding Day

"I don't know what we must do dear sister but our daughter has run away before her wedding has taken place."

Su Ling the birth mother of Su Ying spoke out in hushed tones. They had awoken this morning to their daughter gone, her dresses gonna, even her pet dog  was gone .

Just vanished in  the early hours of dawn. A clear indication of how she might have been planning this for a long time.

Their husband had need out with a few Young Masters of the Scect trying to locate Su Ying.

With only a few hours before the wedding procession arrived to take the bride to the palace.

They had to think of a clever plan and plan they would because they knew how important this was to the family reputation.

If they found this out not only would the general be in trouble and shame but their family would suffer the worset as they were the girls family.

"Su Ling I may have a plan but we will be putting our lives and family reputation at hand here." Madam Min Dai the first wife to Master Wei, she was also the mother to Wu Xian,along with Si Ling. Together they looked after the manor and it's residence both in the students quarters and their home.

A tough his they did best together.

"What could that be sister?" Su Ling spoke

"As bad as it my sound we are left with no other option but to, wed the General Lan to my youngest child." As she finished the sentence her dear sister  had the look of pure horror. As if finally getting caught by her demons.

" Nooooo!"

"Sister tr-"

"I said no. Never, can't you see ahead dear one, if this carries through the family name will be driven through the mud ."

"I am sure about this sister but only if we can get him to be persuaded properly."

A plan brewing the two 'sisters' set as they plotted for an hour.

"Sister I hope this plan works or else we will be in trouble."

"I hope so to young one, come let use got we have until the noon to prepare."

"Servants please come with use."

BANG! BANG!

Ahh there it went again,"Master Lan Please wake up it's time for your breakfast. " Mama knocked much louder on his door again, she knew he hated the noise but who was he to criticize.

He actually liked her for this, she knew him since birth so in this jar the taster knew what was best for who and how it should be done.

Getting up he opened the door in his underdress.

The older woman had been about to knock more on the poor door.

Lan WangJi spoke,"So early, why."

It was neither a question nor exclamation at the woman who had look after him for twenty four winters.

A simple mmn as answer, and a tray was  put into his arms as both maids took of towards the East wing of the manor getting ready for the dinner and was decorated exquisitely beautiful for the new Madam to come.

" Lan Zhan, I suggest that after this bath and eating breakfast you will get ready for the preparation of the Wedding am I correct"

She spoke as she walked calmly around the kitchen. As maids were really indulging in the craft of slicing and dicing the vegetables.

"I will just don't, extra." He said awaiting for his water to boil."

"I won't, but I promise nothing of it, hahahaha!"

"Always the sunshine"

"Son, hello son  are awake yet."

Su Ling was quite sceptical at this moment.

If everything went south they would  know their pots were ruined.

Creeeee!

They opened the door walking in to see a ghostly sight. It was her son with a white bunny on his lap sitting their protecting it or it protecting him. But the moment the door had opened the bunny's ears perked up and he gave them all a cold look as if to say "I know what you want but you won't do it" but both sisters knew it wrong.

"Mother....Second Mother, what could you be hear for at a time when elder sister is getting married?" He enquiries as he sat on the floor ignoring his parents at the door he rose to his 180cm height.

"My child we are in great need for your assistance in something big"

Looking half sassy he replied as he stroking the bunny,"Why should I ah! You have never needed me why now." Tears started slipping out. "Only my Lil'Apple has been a great companion to me, more caRIMG THAN MY OWN MOTHER HAS TO ME !!!!"

"Son please,"Su Ying said as she walked frantically hugging her son who now lay on the floor  crying out of emotional pain from the heart.

"Please son you must trust us as we have no other choice but to do this "

The voice came from the door, it was his father. He had heard everything and was now assured that his wives had come up with a plan in aid towards them.

++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++++++++++++

"Mother are you sure this...we won't be in trouble by betrayal to the Emporer."

He-Wu Xian-wore a red wedding dress with simple hair oniments with a red and gold trimming at the edge.

He was a beauty.

Gathering all that needed be for the ceremony they waited for the pelequine to arrive to take the bride towards the palace.

No one was more nervous than Bride himself.

++++++++

"Stop!"

It was finally happening!

I'm not ready!

While Wuxian had been lost in his day dreaming he heard a knock on the door.

"Yes"

......

The moment Lan WangJi heard that voice he stopped mid knock.

No.. it can't be he thought to himself. It can't be.

It had only been a thousand years, had his...it can't be.

-Flashback-

The wind werling ...  was going away from him for the first time.

"No please you can't leave my love." Tears briming at the corners before slipping down his cheeks.

you know I can't refuse remember, mmn I will be back."

"No please don't" gave her a passionate kiss.

"A thousand years"

Her sweet voice faded into the wind before stillness was sponsored their world again.

.....

"Bride step out any let the groom lead you"

"Yes" came the shout from the carriage. Before a small delicate hand came out.

The crowds awwed."Groom take her hand in yours."

He did as asked a behold him a thousand memories passed before his eyes.

Wu Xian came out  and stood next to the red clocked man next to him.

To dangerous

They walked passed everyone

In the great all men dressed in white with a bit of red were littered in the throne room.

The presence of his family was visible as he smiled to himself. Next to him as they walked Lan WangJi smiled brightly.

What!

"Is this the same man" a member of the Lan Sect dared  ask.

"I don't think so"replied the man next to him.

"Kneel at the Emporer's feet. Then get up."

They did so followed by the heavens bow,the bow towards both family before each other.

They drank from the tea.

And greeted all family members.

Lan WangJi presented the duckes to bother mother-in-laws.

Before leaving for his Manor.
