Chapter 163 The Husband Wants to Marry a Consort on the Wedding Day
Today was the day that Wang Shanshan, the daughter of the General's Mansion, was marrying into the Marquis of Changning's Mansion. However, at the gate, two identical sedan chairs appeared.
The maid Lichun went forward to ask, and it turned out that the prince of Changning wanted to marry a concubine in addition to his wife.
"Miss, the Marquis' Mansion is really going too far!"
Wang Shanshan lifted her veil and got out of the sedan chair, surrounded by people watching the excitement.
"The Marquis' Mansion is truly an eye-opener! If you didn't want to get married, you could have just withdrawn from our General's Mansion long ago. If you were interested in the Shangshu family's daughter, why didn't you marry her sooner? Why did you have to scheme behind everyone's back and wait until today? Do you think our General's Mansion is easy to bully?"
Fu Yuan, the son of the Marquis's family, frowned and said, "Shanshan, my cousin and I have been childhood sweethearts and promised each other that we would never be separated. There is no conflict between marrying you as my wife and making her my equal wife. Please don't be so unreasonable today."
Liu Ruyan also got off the sedan chair, "Yes, sister. Although we are both Brother Yuan's wives, I swear that I will always put you first and always respect you as my mistress."
At this time, the eldest brother of the Wang family came over and knocked Fu Yuan down with one punch.
"How dare you bully my Wang family? If you hadn't knelt at the door of my Wang family for two days and asked to marry my sister, do you think she would be willing to marry you?"
Seeing Liu Ruyan about to say something, he slapped her. Martial artists are different. He hit her mouth so hard that it bled.
"Don't think I wouldn't dare hit a woman! Who do you think you are?"
Fu Yuan's eyes were red with anger. "Anyway, this is the arrangement for today. If Miss Wang doesn't want to marry, then go back! Who will be embarrassed then? Which family will dare to marry you?"
"Then you don't have to worry about it!" Wang Shanshan took her elder brother home.
In the evening, the family discussed, "If there is no order from His Majesty, Marquis Changning would never do this! It seems that the dog emperor is dissatisfied with our family."
Fortunately, General Wang had connections in the army. He asked his generals to deliberately create more friction at the border, so that the court was forced to send troops to guard the border.
Wang Shanshan and Madam Wang also disguised themselves as men and quietly left Beijing.
Soon the family gained a foothold at the border and began to lead troops in rebellion.
The uprising was unstoppable and the situation was very good.
But in the second year, General Wang fell in love with a weak woman, forced her to be his concubine, and doted on her in every way.
The concubine provoked conflicts in the Wang family and was punished by Mrs. Wang according to family rules and was beaten with 20 sticks.
Not wanting to anger General Wang, the family fell apart and Wang Shanshan and her mother and eldest brother were all killed.
Later she found out that the concubine was actually a distant cousin of Liu Ruyan, a spy she had arranged.
Liu Ruyan and Fu Yuan, having contributed greatly to suppressing the rebellion, gained the emperor's trust. Eventually, they overthrew the imperial family and became emperors themselves. They then imposed heavy taxes and levied heavy fines, leaving the people destitute.
"I wanted to establish a career, but I didn't expect to be killed by my own family. In this life, I must become a great general!"
"As you wish!" After saying that, Sheng Jiang disappeared.
……
"Ms. Li, don't go too far! Yue'er just offered you a cup of tea, and you humiliated her like this?"
When Sheng Jiang came over, he heard Wang Zhizhang roaring loudly, like the Roaring Emperor.
"I was fighting on the front lines and accidentally fell off a cliff. If it weren't for Yue'er, maybe what you see now is just my corpse."
"Yue'er is an orphan. I just don't want her to follow me around without a name or status. Just giving her the title of a concubine, can't you tolerate her?"
"I never thought you were so jealous. Not only did you refuse to drink Yue'er's tea, you even burned her? Why did I marry a vicious woman like you in the first place?"
Li Wanrong was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Yue'er knelt on the ground softly again, tears in her eyes, "Madam, I really am not here to break up this family, I am here to join this family."
Bringing another cup of tea, she said, "I swear, I will respect you as my mistress and put you first in everything I do. Madam, I truly adore General Wang. Please grant me this! Yue'er is willing to serve you as a slave for the rest of her life."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xuanyi hurried over and threw the tea set to the ground. "Bitch! Tell me, who sent you as a spy?"
Wang Xuanyi had long suspected this woman's origins. Armies generally avoid crowded areas when fighting, usually fighting in desolate and uninhabited areas. On the day his father fell off the cliff, this woman happened to be living at the foot of that cliff. And she happened to be carrying herbs. These coincidences were simply too many.
He had argued with his father many times, but his father never gave in. And the results of his investigation into the woman's origins had not yet come back.
Now I want to take her as my concubine. If my generals find out that she is a spy, how will my father convince the others? If he can't judge people well, who would want to follow him?
So he didn't care about anything else and just rushed in.
"How outrageous!" Wang Zhizhang was furious. "What other son is like you, interfering in his father's affairs? This is simply treasonous!"
"Dad, do you know who she is? Do you know her background? If you treat her as your confidante and keep her as a concubine, we won't say anything! But if you bring her home and she's a spy, how will you establish your authority in front of so many generals in the future?"
"Asshole! How could she be a spy? What evidence do you have?"
Bai Yue was also crying, "Master! How dare you slander me like this? I am also a girl from a good family. If my parents had not died and I had not been born in such a chaotic world, how would I have survived if I had not attached myself to the general? Are you trying to force me to death?"
As she spoke, she was about to hit the wall. Scared, Wang Zhizhang quickly hugged her and said, "I think you are all rebelling!"
"Ms. Li, this is the good son you raised! Come! Prepare the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. I want to divorce my wife!"
Li Wanrong's face turned pale. "You are going to disregard the years of love we've had as husband and wife and divorce me?"
"Yes!"
"Okay! In that case, let's divorce! We'll never part ways from now on!"
As soon as Li Wanrong left the general's mansion, Sheng Jiang followed.
"Shanshan, if you stay in the General's Mansion, you will still be the eldest lady."
"But I want to be with Mom. Mom, why don't we go rob a stronghold first, and you be the boss. Let Dad and the others fight the dog emperor, and we'll just stay put and develop first, and then..."
"As expected of my daughter! That's what I think! Your elder brother..."
"Don't worry, my eldest brother will stay there. Although life is hard, he can always help us recruit a group of people."
"Well, it's also a way to train him. If he is also convinced by your father, I will just pretend that I don't have this son anymore."
Li Wanrong's father was also a general. Back then, the late emperor was still alive, and the country was still relatively peaceful.
She was not a delicate girl in the boudoir. She married Wang Zhizhang just for love and learned to be a housewife and take care of the backyard.
Now that Wang Zhizhang has broken his promise, she has no desire to stay and just turns around and leaves.
The two soon arrived at the foot of Qingfeng Village and were stopped by a group of people.
"I planted this tree, I built this road. If you want to pass through here, you have to leave money for the passage!"
Sheng Jiang laughed twice. "How dare you rob me, your grandfather? Lead the way! I want to see who you are."
Bandit: ...This girl looks delicate and tender, but why does she speak in such a rough voice? She sounds more like a bandit than us?
"Did you hear me? Lead the way!" Sheng Jiang pulled out the whip and swung it directly at a big rock beside him, and the rock cracked with a sound.
Oh my god! Is this a natural supernatural power?
"Yao? You're so arrogant!" A man came out from the side. He had a full beard, a sinister look in his eyes, and a dark aura around him. He must have killed someone before.
"My dear, you are so delicate and tender, I am afraid I will hurt you. Why don't you follow me? I am the second in command of Qingfeng Village. I will treat you to delicious food and drink spicy drinks. How about it?"
Li Wanrong was so angry that she stepped forward and drew the sword from her waist. "You filthy scoundrel! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? What kind of person is this? How dare you covet my daughter?"
"Mom, calm down first, I will deal with him"
With one whip from Jiang, the second in command was dead.
Sheng Jiang secretly regretted, "Mom, I didn't control my strength and beat someone to death. What should I do? I'm so scared."
As he spoke, he snuggled into Li Wanrong's arms.
People around you: Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
"Don't be afraid. He deserves to die! He must have killed many people, and you have avenged them."
"Why don't you lead the way quickly? Let me see your boss?" Li Wanrong shouted at the group of people.
Bandit: ...Since the second-in-command’s fighting power is already dead, why should we play heroes?
Bend down obediently, "Madam, girl, please!"
Arriving at Qingfeng Village, Sheng Jiang saw the boss and said straight to the point, "I killed your brother."
Du Kuishan was surprised, "Oh?"
"Your brother died, and you're not angry?"
Du Kuishan wasn't angry. When his family was attacked by bandits, it was the second brother who saved him. For that reason, he always obeyed his orders. Later, when he became the eldest brother, the second brother remained bloodthirsty and would often go down the mountain to rob farmers.
He scolded him, but the second child didn't take it seriously.
Once he got angry and wanted to punish him according to the mountain rules, the second brother would threaten him by using the favor of saving his life.
He had been wanting to get rid of the second child for a long time, but he never had the chance.
Ginger helped him a lot at this moment, and he was so grateful that he couldn't even express it, so how could he be angry?
Du Kuishan said, "To be honest, I've wanted to get rid of him for a long time. I have to thank you two for helping me a lot."
"Come on! Prepare the food and wine, let's drink and talk."
Du Kuishan got drunk and pulled Li Wanrong over to become sworn brothers with her.
Ginger: Holy crap! Why does it feel like my house is being robbed?
It turns out that Li Wanrong and Du Kuishan were childhood neighbors. Later, when Li Wanrong moved to Beijing, they still exchanged letters. Later, during a period of turmoil, Du Kuishan disappeared, and they lost contact.
Du Kuishan, "Wanrong, I know that my martial arts and strategies are not as good as yours. From now on, you have the final say in Qingfeng Village! I will do whatever you tell me to do!"
Li Wanrong: "What if I ask you to rebel?"
"Then build it! Take away his damn emperor's throne and let you sit on it!"
Li Wanrong quickly gained a foothold in Qingfeng Village.
Everyone: The boss has spoken, so it doesn’t matter who we do it to.
Jiang took out a lot of grain seeds, including sweet potatoes, cassava, potatoes, etc. "These have high yields, so we don't have to worry about going hungry in the future."
"Great! This way I can start growing quickly. I just need a little money."
"That's not a problem. I heard that next month is the Grand Tutor's birthday, and the Fuyang County Magistrate has confiscated 10 taels of silver, which was sent to the capital by Escort Yang. If we rob it on the way, wouldn't we have it?"
Escort Master Yang: Thank you so much.
A group of people from Qingfeng Village had already gathered around the grove.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly and people were sweating profusely.
Escort Yang was accompanied by a group of people, including birthday gifts, and was exhausted.
"Come on!"
"Brother Yang, let the brothers take a break! This is too tiring! Even cattle and horses need to be fed with enough grass before they can work."
"It's not that I don't sympathize with you, but there are many robbers here, so it's not advisable to stay here for long."
As he was speaking, Sheng Jiang came over with a load of wine.
"Selling wine! Selling wine!"
A group of people came running over and asked for drinks.
"Wait!" Escort Yang interrupted them again, "This wine has a drug in it!"
Ginger rolled his eyes, said nothing, and started drinking.
After half an hour, he still didn't fall down.
"See if there's any drug in there? I'm fine, right?"
The others couldn't hold back any longer and leaned over the bucket to drink. Even Escort Yang couldn't hold back any longer. Soon, one by one, they collapsed.
Sheng Jiang waved and asked the people from Qingfeng Village to transport them all back.
Hey, another bunch of people joined us.
Most of these people, escorts, came from poor families. Who among the rich would want to live a life of swords and blood?
Go to the village, give them a place to live and a place to use their skills.
Soon, Qingfeng Village secretly wiped out hundreds of large and small strongholds in the surrounding area, and its power had long surpassed that of Wang Zhizhang and the imperial court.
Back to Wang Zhizhang, ever since he got Bai Yue, he has fallen into the land of comfort and has no desire to make progress.
Wang Xuanyi stopped trying to persuade him.
He would go and appease any general who had been scolded by his father, and soon gained a large number of followers.
"Little General Wang, your great cause has not yet been accomplished. General Wang is really wasting his time on trivial things."
"Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely make us succeed! If we fail, I will be torn to pieces and die."
"With your words, we feel relieved! We are all people who have our heads on our belts, and we are not here to play with him!"
Gradually, Wang Xuanyi sidelined his father, and by the time he realized it, it was too late.
"The traitor! The traitor!"
Random people were arranged to assassinate Wang Xuanyi. As a result, Wang Xuanyi led his men to surround the general's mansion that night.
"Dad, look, this woman next to you, Liu Ruyan's cousin, is also related to Marquis Changning. And Marquis Changning is now deeply trusted by the emperor!
Dad, in our previous battles, the enemy always saw through our intentions. Have you ever thought about who leaked the information?"
"So what? Liu Ruyan is Liu Ruyan, Yue'er is Yue'er, they are different! Didn't we already know that the Emperor favors the Marquis of Changning?"
Seeing Wang Zhizhang's words, Wang Xuanyi completely gave up and directly imprisoned his father and Bai Yue, put them in sacks, and sent them to Li Wanrong. Then he marched directly to the capital.
Soon, the world was unified.
While everyone was looking forward to it, Wang Xuanyi gave the throne to my mother.
Wang Shanshan went to guard the border and served as her general.
As for Wang Zhizhang, Li Wanrong naturally had him executed by slow slicing.
There were also Marquis Changning and Liu Ruyan, who naturally perished along with the previous dynasty.
