The Disturbance in Tea Ceremony

It was a long time before Chunyu came back. Ye Jiayao tried waiting up for him, but she was too tired that she eventually succumbed to sleep.

She only woke up when she felt the bed move. She asked, still dazed from sleep, "Chunyu? How did it go?"

Xia Chunyu tucked her in and softly said, "Don't worry about it. We'll talk tomorrow."

He already knew who contacted Zhu Wang's wife. He knew it the minute she described his appearance to him. However, it was Chunyu's wedding and he didn't want to cause a commotion.

Ye Jiayao was so exhausted that she just burrowed into his embrace and fell back asleep.

The next day, the newlyweds were scheduled to serve tea to the family.

As per tradition, the family, especially older relatives, were expected to present the new couple with a red envelope of cash. Ye Jiayao and Chunyu prepared a thick stack for the couple to wish them well on the start of their marriage.
