Wu Mi hadn't finished speaking when the two close maidservants, a little anxious, hurriedly said, "Young Master, Young Master, after lifting the bride's red veil, the first thing to do is to drink the nuptial cup."
The masters have their wedding night; the role of the close maidservants is to ensure that everything proceeds smoothly without any mistakes, then attend to the new bride and groom in the bridal chamber. If the groom runs out of strength, they are also expected to help. If the bride can't endure the favor, they are expected to step in as well...
As they spoke, the maidservants carried over a tray from the second entrance, upon which lay the drinking vessel, and came over.
Chen Mo glanced at the tray, took one of the cups, handed it to Wu Mi, and picked up another one himself, saying, "Wu Mi, do you mind if I call you Mi'Er from now on?"
"As you wish, husband," Wu Mi replied softly.
