Protect Our Clan Leader

After taking a peek at the scene, the little maid immediately ran back as fast as her legs could carry her, her face filled with gravity.

Shulan Court.

Today is the joyful day for the new bride.

Early in the morning, the Shulan Court was cleaned up several times, even the blue bricks on the corridor were washed with clear water to shine like new. All the lanterns below the corridor were changed to red, and even the trees in the court were adorned with delicate red lanterns, a sight full of festivity.

In the boudoir, the new bride, Liu Ruolan, was sitting at the dressing table, surrounded by a few beautiful middle-aged women, helping her carefully applying makeup.

Because it’s a big wedding, the wedding dress is extravagant, to avoid rouge and makeup getting onto the dress, it is necessary to apply the makeup first, style the hair bun before wearing the wedding dress.

At this moment, only half of the makeup was applied on Liu Ruolan, and even so, she had delicate eyes, clear, intelligent, and sparkling. She may not be a rare celestial beauty, but she is a beauty nonetheless. Just by sitting there, she has the refined restraint of a daughter of a prominent family, yet subtly exuding an air of elegance uncommon to ordinary girls.

This elegance doesn’t come from pampering, but from being in a wealthy and powerful family background, nurtured bit by bit, rarely successfully emulated by outsiders.

But perhaps she was too nervous today, her body was a bit tense, and her long eyelashes couldn’t help trembling slightly.

“Miss Ruolan, every girl has to go through this. Besides, I’ve heard that your new husband is both talented and handsome, with outstanding character. He’s a perfect gentleman,” the beautiful woman who was helping her to apply makeup said in a soft, comforting voice.

“Mm, thank you Sixth Auntie,” she thanked with a gentle nod of her head, a hint of anticipation and timidity crossing her eyes.

The beautiful woman had dexterous hands, and in a moment she was done with her hair bun.

Her lips were coated with crimson, the bright color enhancing her fair and delicate skin, making her look more attractive, like a blooming peony flower.

Liu Ruolei, who was by her side, couldn’t help but feel envious as she saw how breathtakingly beautiful her sister looked, “Sister, you look exceptionally beautiful today, just like an immortal girl from the heavens. Brother-in-law is indeed lucky to have you as his wife.”

Hearing Liu Ruolei’s words, the beautiful woman at the side applying makeup laughed, couldn’t help but tease, “Ruolei, if you’re envious, I can certainly help you find an eligible bachelor whom you’ll fancy?”

The beautiful woman speaking was Wang Liuzi, the fourth among the Liu family descendants with the surname ‘Liuzi’. Her husband is an elite clan member of the senior ‘Gao’ generation of the Liu family’s direct vessel.

If she had married into another family, she should have gone back to the Wang family for support some time ago.

Her presence here with Liu Ruolan reinforced their closeness.

Liu Ruolei, flushed to the roots of her hair, quickly changed the subject, “Yuanrui couldn’t sit still since early in the morning and wanted to show off in front of sister, I wonder how he’s faring right now?”

As she spoke, a pretty maidservant suddenly rushed in through the door.

She looked slightly flustered and blurted out as soon as she entered, “Miss, something’s not right. Master Yuanrui has gone too far.”

“Sister, he…”

Liu Ruolei didn’t even complete her sentence when her expression changed drastically. She quickly asked, “Qiao’er, what happened?”

“Master Yuanrui enticed Master Yuanqiang to make the new master lift a huge, huge stone ball.” As she spoke, Qiao’er gestured with her hands, that was the stone ball Master Yuanqiang used for martial arts practice, which weighed nearly two thousand pounds. Even Master Yuanhui would find it difficult to lift.”

Qiao’er said with great concern, “The new master is such a handsome man, if he hurts himself, what will we do?”

A middle-aged woman beside them covered her mouth and laughed, “Qiao’er, Miss Ruolan hasn’t even gotten married yet, and you, as a housemaid, have already started worrying about the new master. How shameless-”

“Don’t worry. Yuanrui is a scholar and knows the rules; he won’t get out of line,” another accompanying middle-aged woman laughed, “The new young master is coming to pick up his bride. If we don’t put some pressure on him, won’t Ruolan be bullied once she goes over there? This is Yuanrui being concerned about his sister.”

“Anyway, these are old customs. If the couple wants to live in harmony and the family to prosper, one needs to be virtuous and careful. Only then when one considers everything for the husband’s sake, one can gain respect. How can one always rely on one’s family, huh?”

Liu Ruolan’s eyes flickered slightly, but she was still worried, and in a soft voice, she said, “Ruolei, go and supervise them for me. Don’t let Yuanrui and those kids play too much. Just enjoy and lighten up the mood.”

“Yes, sister. I’m leaving right away.”

Liu Ruolei was also a bit restless, anxious that her sister’s husband might be at a disadvantage, and immediately rushed out after excusing herself.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard.

“Yuanrui, what should I do if I can’t pass this challenge?” Wang Shouzhe knew his brothers-in-law are just messing around, naturally he wouldn’t really mind, and asked with a laugh.

With his hands behind his back and a comfortable posture, Liu Yuanrui said with a charming smile, “Brother-in-law, as you know, as long as you give up, you can pass all the challenges.”

Wang Shouzhe knew, and this is the rule of the Profound Martial clan families..
