After completing the Union Rites, Aunt You gathered the five-colored fruits and copper coins brought in earlier into her hands, scattering them under the canopy while reciting blessings. Finally, she said, "Young Master and Young Madam, congratulations on your joyous occasion. Please rest early. I will stay in the side room next to the bridal chamber tonight. If there's anything you need, just call out." With that, she took the maid and left.
The curtains dimmed the deep chamber, the candlelight glowed softly red, and only the sound of breathing remained in the room.
