The matchmaker was prepared to do so. This was the last step of her hosting the wedding, but Zhong Yong did not give her a chance. He took out a red packet and stuffed it into her hand.

The matchmaker still wanted to say that she was not done yet, but Zhong Yong pushed her out of the bridal chamber. Zhong Yong had no relatives, and the officials in the court were afraid of his identity as the emperor's younger brother, so no one dared to come and make a scene.
After pushing the matchmaker away, Zhong Yong asked the servant girls to prepare hot water. Jiang Yuyan blushed from embarrassment.
