Chapter 203 Getting Married
A gust of night wind blew suddenly.
The doors and windows of the inn, which were already loose, rustled in the wind.
When several men saw that their accomplice was in danger of death, the drunkenness was instantly lost.
When he saw Yue Yang draw out the long sword in his hand, his face turned pale.
What happened?
Everyone looked at each other, all puzzled.
They were just drinking and chatting, how did they end up offending these two big Buddhas who came out of nowhere?
The handsome man who was as beautiful as a piece of jade now had a face as gloomy as a dark cloud, and there was a murderous aura lingering between his eyebrows.
This person...
You can tell at first glance that this is not a character you can easily mess with.
They shrank back a few steps in fear, not daring to even breathe, for fear that they would be harmed if they were not careful.
"Do you need me to ask again?"
Seeing that the man was silent, Shen Beiqi said coldly.
"Reply... Reply, sir, it is..."
The man's voice was shaking and he began to stutter as he spoke.
He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. Could it be that this young man was also the lover of the girl from the Jiang family?
How could such a coincidence happen?
No wonder this person looks so angry, saying bad things about his old lover in front of others.
However, it was already well known in Jiangdu City that the girl from the Jiang family behaved in a dissolute manner and had no sense of shame. This was not something he had made up out of thin air!
"Sir... do you know the girl from the Jiang family?"
As the man spoke, he quietly moved his body, trying to get away from the dagger in his hand.
"Listen to my advice. The girl from the Jiang family is not a beautiful and intelligent lady from a noble family... You should... you should turn back as soon as possible..."
"Tell me everything you know, word for word!"
Shen Beiqi put away the dagger and looked at him coldly, "If you tell even a single lie, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The night is long and everything is silent.
In Xiyun Pavilion in the palace, Han Yunning smashed to pieces a pair of colorful enamel vases given by His Majesty.
Inside the spacious and magnificent hall, a room full of slaves were kneeling, all of them trembling with fear, crouching their heads and not daring to move.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Her dowry maid Ping'er soothed her back and said softly,
"Anger is harmful to your health. Your Majesty is pregnant with a prince. Why should you be angry over those bitches?"
"Jiang Li——" Han Yunning gritted his teeth and squeezed out these two words.
"She is so bold as to do this? I really underestimated her before!"
She would never let her go so easily!
Even if she married the third prince, so what?
She would definitely get back the pain that Jiang Li had inflicted on her a hundredfold or a thousandfold!
......
The next morning.
Just after the hour of noon, a sedan chair with plain curtains sent by the Third Prince had already stopped outside the gate of Jiang's residence.
The weather today is exceptionally good.
The morning light is like soft gauze, and the golden beams pass over the eaves and spread across the courtyard.
In order to express his appreciation, Xiao Wencong specially sent someone to deliver a wedding dress last night.
Although this wedding dress is also red, it is slightly different from the wedding dresses that ordinary women wear when they get married, and the color is lighter.
Jiang Li knew in her heart that this was because concubines were not allowed to wear bright red wedding dresses.
In other words, a concubine is a concubine and does not need to wear any wedding clothes.
In fact, she thinks it's okay even if she doesn't wear wedding clothes.
After all, this marriage was just a helpless move made out of urgency.
What difference does it make whether you wear it or not?
But she knew in her heart that this was Xiao Wencong's good intention.
He specially sent someone to deliver wedding clothes to her in order to honor her and let everyone know how much he cherished her.
In the future, when people talk about her, they will always be a little considerate of his face.
The atmosphere in the room was dull and depressing.
Apart from the slight rustling sound of their wedding gowns being put on, Xingping and Luo Zhi said nothing.
If one didn't know what was going on, one would really think that this was not a wedding.
Xingping tied a big red ribbon embroidered with pomegranate flowers around Jiang Li, outlining her slender waist.
On the red skirt, large pomegranate flowers bloomed like flames.
The material was soft and silky, like the clouds in the sky. One could tell at a glance that it was the finest product from Jixiang Tower.
After putting on her wedding dress, Jiang Li sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror and let Xingping comb her hair.
Now that I'm getting married, I can no longer wear my hair in a bun like a girl.
Xingping skillfully tied her hair into a bun and inserted a golden crabapple pearl flower hairpin diagonally.
The pearl flowers on her hairpin were like stars, contrasting with her red wedding dress, making her look even more charming and attractive, like peach blossoms blooming in spring.
In fact, the most noble one among all the hairpins and rings owned by the girl was the phoenix crown that the queen personally gave to her when she was playing the piano in the paddock.
The phoenix crown was inlaid with sparkling gems and pearls, and was extremely luxurious.
Xingping originally kept it carefully, waiting for the girl to wear it when she got married.
However, now it seems that this phoenix crown is like a hidden pearl, with no chance to show its brilliance anymore.
When Luo Zhi saw Jiang Li standing up and preparing to go out, she suddenly stretched out her arms to block her way.
"Miss, I will help you escape from marriage. You don't have to marry the Third Prince. Let's go out of the city first. When the Duke comes back, there will be other ways."
In fact, she didn't dare to say that Du Li had already sent a letter to the northern border, informing the Duke of everything that had happened in Jiangdu City.
Therefore, the girl just needs to leave the city and hide for a while.
As long as the Duke gets the news, he will surely rush back without stopping.
"I can leave, but can the Jiang family leave?" Jiang Li asked calmly.
Luo Zhi was choked for a moment.
"I understand. You are doing this for my own good."
Jiang Li said, "The whole world belongs to the king. Even if I leave, where can I go? Moreover, even if I succeed in escaping, what will my father and brother do?"
She looked at Luo Zhi, "I can't be so selfish."
Tomorrow is the day to announce the results of the autumn examination. Luo Zhi knows that the girl will definitely not agree to just leave.
But she just wouldn't give up and always wanted to ask again.
In the flower hall, Jiang Minzhi had a worried look on his face and sighed deeply.
Almost overnight, the news of Jiang Li's affair with the third prince spread like wildfire throughout the streets and alleys of Jiangdu City.
As a father, he couldn't avoid being criticized since his daughter had caused such a scandal.
Jiang Minzhi just felt that his old face was about to be completely disgraced.
Unlike Jiang Minzhi who was embarrassed, Jiang Cheng was full of worries and concerned about his sister's future.
Among all the people in the Jiang family, only Mrs. Zou was the happiest about the marriage with the third prince.
When she heard the news while lying on the bed, she was so happy that she burst into laughter.
In her opinion, it doesn't matter who Jiang Li marries.
As long as I can disappear from her sight and from the Jiang family, it will be better than anything else.
"Father……"
How could Jiang Li not understand the unhappiness in Jiang Minzhi's eyes? She lifted her skirt and knelt down, saying softly,
"It is my daughter's unfilial behavior that has caused my father to be criticized by everyone and damaged the Jiang family's century-old reputation. I hope my father will not blame me."
