Three days later, Xiao Yuanyuan really walked down the streets of the capital with eight carriages worth of betrothal gifts, beating gongs and drums. She made a big circle around the bustling streets of the city in order to let everyone know that she
The Xiao family paid a betrothal gift to Su Muer.
The first person to get the news was Bai Chen. He hurriedly ran to Ye Shihan's prince, out of breath, pointing at him with his finger,
"Quick, go and have a look."
"Bai Chen, what's wrong with you? What happened to a magistrate, so you are so panicked?"
"Oh, go quickly, someone is giving Su Mu'er a betrothal gift."
"What?"
Hearing the news, he stood up from the chair in a hurry, his eyes suddenly filled with ice. How dare someone snatch his woman? How audacious.
"Liu Hai, take my fast horse."
"Who sent it?"
He asked while calling Liu Hai to lead the horse.
Bai Chen had never rested in the first place, and now he had to run after him again, so his breath was not enough.
"Yes...it was sent by Xiao Yuanyuan on behalf of General Xiao."
Xiao Mo?
Upon hearing the news, Ye Shihan's face suddenly turned pale.
He didn't expect that Xiao Mo would take action so quickly.
As soon as he reached the door, Liu Hai had already led the horse over. He couldn't help but jump on the horse, completely ignoring Bai Chen behind him, and drove away like crazy, heading straight for Wutong Lane.
The inexplicable sound of gongs and drums came from the street. Su Muer was also surprised when he heard it.
Just as she was curious to go out and take a look, Qing'er ran in panting.
"Third sister, something happened?"
"What happened? Speak slowly to see how anxious you are."
She stepped forward and helped her trim the broken hair on her forehead, "Girls, can you be gentler?"
Qing'er pointed outside, "A lot of people are here. I don't know why. They are at the entrance of Wutong Alley. They say they are looking for you. Go and have a look."
Looking for me?
When she heard this, her handsome brows suddenly knitted together.
"Let's go and have a look."
She lifted her skirt and walked out, Qing'er followed hurriedly.
She came to the entrance of the alley with a puzzled face. Xiao Yuanyuan was wearing a bright red wedding robe and was looking at her with a smile. She wore a bright red flower behind her ear. She looked very much like Chengdong.
Mrs. Zhang Mei.
Seeing her funny look, Su Muer wanted to laugh, but held it back. She looked at her outfit and the carriages in red and green behind her, and then at the carriage drivers in wedding clothes, feeling in her heart
There are more doubts.
"Miss Xiao, what are you doing? Do you want to get married? But you shouldn't be passing by my Wutong Lane, right?"
Xiao Yuanyuan gave her a rare bright smile. She waved her handkerchief, deliberately twisted her body and took two steps forward, bowing slightly in front of her.
"Hello, sister-in-law."
sister in law?
"Wait..." Su Mu'er hurriedly took two steps back, stretched out a hand, and faced her with the palm of her hand to stop her.
"what do you mean?"
Xiao Yuanyuan pursed her lips and smiled softly. She pointed at several large cars behind her.
"These are the betrothal gifts I gave to Miss Su on behalf of my brother. Please accept them."
bride price?
Hearing these two words, she opened her mouth in surprise and looked at her with puzzled eyes.
"Ms. Xiao, are you mistaken? Your brother gave me a betrothal gift? When did I say that I wanted to marry your brother? And I never said that I wanted to get married?"
"Miss Su, my brother is General Xiao in the imperial court. Everyone in the whole capital knows that he gave you a betrothal gift. You should feel honored. He doesn't mind you bringing a slut, nor does he mind you being guilty.
My daughter, don’t indulge in lust, it’s better to find a man to raise you than to show off on your own.”
Seeing Su Muer's refusal, she made contemptuous sarcastic remarks and changed her smiling face from just now.
When Su Mu'er heard this, her anger suddenly rose. She pursed her lower lips, moved forward, and looked at her with the corner of her mouth twitching.
"Even if I have to disappoint Miss Xiao, I, Su Mu'er, don't want to climb high, and I don't need a betrothal gift. As you can see, I have my own shop, and there are more than one. I have a chicken farm in Sujiazhuang.
I earn a lot of money, so I don’t need a man to support me, do you understand, Miss Xiao?"
Her voice sounded like a needle, without a trace of delay.
This scene was seen by Ye Shihan, who had just arrived. Her words made him give her a thumbs up in his heart. The woman he fancied was indeed different.
Being rejected by her in front of so many people, Xiao Yuanyuan's face looked a little ugly. She bit her lip and looked at her, and suddenly softened her tone,
"Ms. Su, are you saying this out of anger? Didn't you often go to your house to look for my brother before? Since you also have my brother in your heart, he saved your life. If he hadn't saved you, you probably wouldn't have had a chance.
You are standing here talking, so in order to repay your kindness, you should also marry my brother."
Her words felt like something stuck in her throat and her heart tightened even more.
Yes, he is her life-savior, and there is no way to repay him for his life-saving grace.
She suddenly felt uneasy in her heart. If Xiao Mo really thought this way, then she would marry. In order to repay her kindness, she would marry too.
Just when she was silent, Ye Shihan squeezed out of the crowd, followed closely by Bai Chen and Shi Ziqiang who came after hearing the news.
Seeing him coming, Xiao Yuanyuan hurriedly raised her hand to tidy up her hair, then walked over with a twist of her body,
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
"What are you doing?"
His voice suddenly became as cold as ice, which made her feel trembling with fear.
"I...I'm here to pay the betrothal gift for my brother."
"Your brother instructed you?"
He stared at Su Mu'er who was standing there with empty eyes, but he asked her questions.
"So what? My brother saved her life in the first place, so she should repay the favor. Besides, my brother is a general, which makes him a good match for her. Why should she disagree?"
There was a lot of contempt in her tone, but in front of Ye Shihan's majesty, her voice was softer and softer.
"Can I force someone to marry him just because I want to save my life? Is Xiao Mo such a person? If so, please come and make it clear."
"What does this have to do with you?"
Xiao Yuanyuan suddenly raised her eyebrows, "When did your Seventh Prince come to take care of the matchmaker's affairs? Is it possible that he needs to change his profession?"
"Hahaha……"
The crowd began to burst into laughter.
More and more people gathered in Wutong Alley, and more and more people came to watch the excitement.
Ye Shihan was so angry that he gritted his teeth at Xiao Yuanyuan's words. He looked at her coldly from the side,
"I, Ye Shihan, can't stand being forced like this, so I will take charge of it today."
His eyes were fixed on Xiao Yuanyuan, which made her shiver, and then she moved her face to the side with a guilty conscience.
"Everyone says that a life-saving grace should be repaid with a spring of water. Our Xiao family does not need her to repay the favor with a spring of water. On the contrary, we sent so many betrothal gifts, but she looked aggrieved? Don't you know her identity?
