Chapter 316 At that moment, his heart suddenly felt cramped
When Zhou Xing came out of Prince Qin's Mansion to welcome the bride, he noticed that the entire road from Yong'an Street to Tianhe Street was covered with red carpets. There was no doubt that this was Zhou Mu's handiwork.
When he rode a big horse to the front of Wanqinghou's mansion, he saw Zhou Mu carrying Gu Xiyan out of the mansion.
At that moment, his heart suddenly felt cramped.
His eyes fell on the bride wearing a red hijab. Although he couldn't see anything, he felt that Gu Xiyan must be the most beautiful today.
Obviously he and Xiyan had such a warm past, and he had believed that she was his bride since he was a child. How could he lose her so easily?
At this moment, a crazy idea flashed in his mind, to grab Xi Yan from Zhou Mu's back, so that he could correct the chaos and get everything back on track.
But he still sat firmly on the horse, doing nothing and watching Zhou Mu pass him by with Xi Yan on his back.
There has never been a moment when he truly realized that from then on, he and Xiyan Bridge returned to the bridge by the same road, but they took different paths to return.
Zhou Mu didn't like that Zhou Xing's eyes fell on Gu Xiyan. He put Gu Xiyan into the wedding sedan as quickly as possible and covered the curtain tightly so that no one could see him anymore.
Bride.
Zhou Xing's arrival did not affect Zhou Mu's speed in welcoming the bride. He jumped on his horse and the wedding procession walked on the red carpet towards Yong'an Street.
Interestingly, as soon as the wedding team left at the end of the week, the red carpets laid out on the street were also taken back one by one.
When Zhou Xing saw this scene, he felt empty in his heart, as if a draft was blowing through him, and it was so empty that it made his nose sore.
Logically speaking, Gu Xiyan should cry when she gets married.
However, Gu Xiyan was very happy when she left the Hou Mansion, and the old lady and Wan Qinghou were also so happy that they didn't cry at all.
Wan Qinghou and Xiao Gu were busy going to marry Gu Xiyan, leaving only the old lady to continue entertaining Zhou Xing.
Human beings are inherently creatures that seek out advantages and avoid disadvantages. Everyone in the Hou family felt that Gu Xiyan was now more powerful than Liu Chaoyan, so much so that those who could be related to Gu Xiyan planned to go to the Zhou Mansion for a wedding banquet.
So when Zhou Xing stood in front of the Hou Mansion to welcome the bride, he found that more than half of the people in the Hou Mansion were missing, making it seem a little deserted.
The old lady was anxious and wanted to marry Liu Chaoyan as soon as possible. She also wanted to go to Zhou Mansion for a wedding banquet.
Brother Shun failed to carry Gu Xiyan into the sedan chair, but this time he still carried Liu Chaoyan, the bride, out of the Marquis Mansion and into the sedan chair brought by Zhou Xing.
Along the way, the Hou Mansion was deserted, and Zhou Xing's wedding team was too solemn, not like a wedding at all, and there was no atmosphere for a happy event.
She pursed her lips lightly, quietly raised her red hijab, and then raised the corner of the car curtain to look at the wedding procession. She found that the old lady had not followed. Among the wedding procession, only Jiang Li was here, and the other three girls from the Liu family were nowhere to be seen. p>
She lowered her face and looked quietly at Zhou Xing, who was sitting on a tall horse. She saw that his jaw was tense and he had a handsome face. How could he look like he was a groom?
For some reason, her nose suddenly felt sore and she felt so wronged.
Did he blame her for proposing to get married on the same day as Gu Xiyan, which caused everyone to go to Gu Xiyan's wedding banquet on the day they got married?
What's more, the people who gathered around to watch the excitement were all heading towards the newlyweds Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan.
As soon as Zhou Mu's wedding team left, the people on the street also dispersed. Only scattered onlookers whispered about how grand Gu Xiyan's wedding was, with a dowry of more than a hundred kilograms.
Ten miles of red makeup is not an exaggeration at all.
In addition, Zhou Mu, the groom's appearance, was too outstanding, and everyone was talking about how Gu Xiyan finally met her good match after all the hardships.
When the common people walking back saw Zhou Xing, the groom, greeting Liu Chaoyan, the bride, some people were talking. It was because Zhou Xing was seduced by Liu Chaoyan, an unruly woman, that he gave up and retreated from Gu Xiyan.
’s marriage. Now retribution has come, Gu Xiyan has found a better husband, and the wedding day is even more grand, which severely slaps the newlyweds in the face.
Most of the reason why these people were filled with righteous indignation was because it was exposed that the Li family had killed the eldest Gu family, and also used a vicious trick to drive Gu Xiyan out of the Hou Mansion.
Later, Liu Chaoyan followed Li's example and snatched the marriage away from Gu Xiyan. Such people will have no retribution, and it is unforgivable to be punished by heaven.
Even storytellers in major teahouses in the capital made up stories about Gu Xiyan's experiences, which were widely circulated in the capital.
If they hadn't worried that Zhou Xing was the son of Emperor Cheng De, the people would have wanted to throw eggs at them.
Zhou Xing and Liu Chaoyan walked all the way from Tianhe Street to Yong'an Street, and all they heard were the ridicules of the people.
Zhou Xing's life has been smooth and smooth, and his status is respected. How has he ever been stabbed in the back like this?
And all this is due to Liu Chaoyan’s great contribution.
When he arrived at Yong'an Street, before Zhou Xing arrived in front of Prince Qin's Mansion, he saw some court officials coming to have a wedding banquet.
The moment these people saw Zhou Xing, the groom, their expressions were a little uncomfortable. Just because they went to Zhou Mu's house to have a wedding banquet, and met Zhou Xing, the groom, didn't they tell Zhou Xing that they had chosen
Zhou Mu?
Zhou Xing is a person who values face. He seemed to be unable to see everyone's embarrassment and took the lead in entering Prince Qin's Mansion.
Liu Chaoyan also saw in the sedan chair that the guests had gone to the Zhou Mansion next door. It was like slapping the newlyweds in the face in front of Zhou Xing.
This was completely different from what she had originally thought of slapping Gu Xiyan in the face.
When she entered Prince Qin's Mansion, she found that it was very quiet. It didn't look like there was a happy event going on today.
On the contrary, gongs and drums are being played next door, making it very lively. Even through a high wall, you can hear the laughter and laughter coming from there.
She couldn't help but squeeze the veil tightly, her eyes were dry.
After Zhou Xing entered the palace, he abandoned her as his bride and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Perhaps because of Zhou Xing's attitude, the maids and mothers-in-law who sent her to the new house looked at her with a certain look.
Contempt.
Then everyone left, leaving only her, four dowry maids, and Tan's mother sitting in the new house.
There are no servants in Prince Qin’s palace. Does the attitude of these servants also indicate Zhou Xing’s attitude?
Concubine Xian also arrived at Prince Qin's Mansion early in the morning. She saw that the door was deserted and all the guests had gone to the Zhou Mansion next door. Her face was very ugly.
She has been in charge of the harem for many years, how many people act based on her face? Today, on the day of her precious son’s wedding, everyone is here to look at her face.
The gossips from the palace servants made her feel even more depressed. Those dog slaves said a lot of sarcastic words, but she only remembered the sentence "Liu Chaoyan defeated the King of Qin".
"Today is a great day for Your Highness to get married. Please don't be anxious, Madam." Aunt Dai could see that her master was in a bad mood and could only do nothing to comfort him.
Concubine Xian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Did Duke Cao's mansion send anyone over for the wedding banquet?"
