They were completely crazy!!! The problem was that they held me tightly and didn't seem to want to let go.

I was sure that Jiang Cheng was behind all this. He must have organized this cabal against me after we left the party last night. It was probably his response to my little dip in the pool yesterday afternoon. That was his style. It must be said that we played this little game since we were little! Like all brothers, we loved to bicker. My heart swelled with joy, we were getting along again. So much had happened between us. It is true that I had not been honest with him. I had kept the story of my golden core from him. But I knew how he would react if he found out! And I was right.

He reacted exactly as I expected. I had always been aware of this feeling of inferiority towards me. This was largely due to his father's behavior towards me! I didn't pay attention to it, nor to the rumors that I was the illegitimate son of the Jiang clan chief!

This ambiguous relationship that his father and I had had was probably the first crack in our relationship and Jin Guang Shan had taken advantage of it to enlarge it and turn us against each other. The definitive tear between us was that night of horror when our sister gave her life for me to protect me!

The revelation of Jin Guang-Yao's turpitude had begun to heal this gaping wound that he had dragged for 16 years. When I think about it, despite the hatred he showed after my return, he had not revealed my presence in Jinlintai, not even in the Perfume Chamber. At the burial mound, he had not raised his sword against me either! When he had come to join us at the Guanyin temple, he had taken Chenqing with him.

Despite everything that had happened, the bond that had united us since childhood was still there. And I think that joke he played on me today was his way of telling me that I am and will always be his big brother.

He and HuaiSang were trying to lure me into the next room. I turned back to Lan Zhan to ask for help, but I saw that SiZhui and the others had blocked him from reaching me.

Jiang Cheng knew very well that the love of my life would never lay a hand on our son or nephew!

I had no choice but to be dragged into the next room. What had those two got in store for me! When we were here, many years ago, we were inseparable, always doing the four hundred tricks together! This trick they played on me today only half surprised me, although I would never have imagined that I would be the first to get married! When the turn of these two would come, they could be sure that my revenge would be terrible... I would not be shy!

HuaiSang was unpacking a package that the young Zizhen had given him. He took out a large, bright pink cloth. It seemed to be decorated with lotus flowers and peonies! What they were up to. Now they were worrying me! I suddenly realized that it was a woman's dress. They wouldn't dare to put this thing on me! HuaiSang put the dress on a piece of furniture near us.

Jiang Cheng was still holding me by the wrists. What an idea I had to give him my golden core, now he was physically stronger than me!

I felt HuaiSang's hands undo my belt!

"But you will stop, HuaiSang, if you continue, you will regret it!"

"Come on calm down, we are not going to attack your virtue, Han GuangJun has already taken care of that!"

"Jiang Cheng !!!!"

"If you tell me that you remained a virgin until your wedding, I won't believe you!!! I'm sure you consummated it a long time ago!" HuaiSang couldn't help but laugh "

"Come on Brother Wei, we want to know everything, .... so how is it?".

"But it's none of your business!!! it's my private life!".

"Brother Wei, I'm curious, are you above or below ?

I was hallucinating, this conversation was unreal!

"Knowing Han Guangjun, I bet he's underneath," my brother said.

"Really? Knowing Brother Wei and Lan's education, I would say not. Brother Wei is above!"

They both turned to me, waiting for an answer from me.

"You can always run to find out the answer".

Then I realized that I had lost my dress. Those two guys had managed to divert my attention and undress me! Jiang Cheng looked like he was going after my tunic. I was starting to panic seriously, they were not going to strip me completely.

"Lan Zhan, they are crazy !!!! come to my help..."

HuaiSang had taken over Jiang Cheng with the tunic while Jiang Cheng undertook to remove my pants. I felt my brother's hands slipping it off!

Jiang Cheng said: "Jiang Cheng, take your hands off !!!!" My pants were on the ground.

HuaiSang had managed to remove my tunic from one of my shoulders!

"HuaiSang, if you dare, I will make you swallow your fan !!!!!!"

"It's out of your reach!!!"

"Let it go, the more you struggle, the longer your ordeal will be!!!"

He was right, it was no use, with their respective golden core, they were stronger than me! They knew it well!!! I decided to let me do .... temporarily. The window of the room was not closed, with a little luck I could run away from there!

I let my two torturers to dress me with this extravagant dress, of a really spottable pink. HuaiSang stepped aside to get a hair ornament they wanted me to wear. Jiang Cheng had loosened his grip by the time I put on the sleeves of the dress. I took advantage of a moment of inattention on their part to escape. I walked towards the window.

"Jiang Xiong, catch him, he is escaping through the window!"

"Wei Wuxian , stay where you are, you won't get far in that outfit! Come back here right now!"

I jumped out of the window, I hope that the ruckus I had caused, had distracted Lan Zhan's guard and that he too had managed to escape.

Before all this started, we talked about taking a bath. What if I went to hide in the back garden? I'm sure Lan Zhan will think of that. I hid behind a bush. I didn't have long to wait. My soul mate appeared from the path coming from Jingshi.

"Lan Zhan, I'm here"

"Where are you? I can't see you"

"Over here..." I stirred the bush I was behind.

"Lan Zhan, I'm here."

"Why aren't you coming?"

"I can't!"

"Why?"

"Jiang Cheng and HuaiSang will pay for it, look what they dared to do !!!!"

I came out from behind my bush! I could see that he was holding back his laughter. But there was also something else in his eyes... It looked like ... desire? How could he feel desire for me in this outfit?

"How do I look?"

"The love of my life! No matter what you wear, you are my husband and my love!"

His words embarrassed me a little, I felt myself blushing. Unconsciously I scratched my nose. Lan Zhan smiled. He took my hand and led me on the path to the clearing. It was only when we reached the pond that I saw that we were surrounded. I didn't quite understand what happened next. I was blinded by clothes and found myself wading in the water. Lan Zhan was near me as well as Jiang Cheng, HuaiSang and the others. Even Lan QiRen and Xichen had joined us.

Seeing my surprised look, Lan QiRen spoke up.

"Wei Wuxian, isn't that what you said yesterday to your son, brother and nephew during the purification ceremony?

"I don't understand!" I replied.

"Now we are a real family!

Everyone started laughing. He was right. It was the perfect conclusion to our wedding ceremony. We were all together with joy and laughter. Like a real family.
