In recent days, the third prince launched a coup and the eldest prince sent troops to besiege the city. The entire Gyeonggi region has been affected to varying degrees.
In Shengzhou, the people were worried about the outcome of the war and complained, but the governor's office was full of joy.
Today is a happy day for the Governor's Mansion. The mansion is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and there is an endless stream of guests coming and going in front of the mansion. There are two office clerks responsible for recording the gift lists, and each of them writes hard, and their wrists are sore from writing.
Every time the young master takes a concubine, there is an endless stream of people from nearby states giving gifts. This is the time when the governor's office makes the most money every year.
When Li Yi and Xu Laochang entered the governor's mansion, they naturally did not need to go through the main entrance.
They are all a group of masters who come and go. If we take the main entrance, how can we show our status as masters?
The most important thing is that they did not prepare gifts or invitations, and it would be too troublesome to rob on the spot...
While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.
The more troubled the times, the more obvious this gap becomes.
Many people in Shengzhou had no food to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies, but the governor's house was full of joy, with wine ponds and meat forests, it was very lively.
This made the trace of guilt in Li Yi's heart for disturbing other people's good things completely disappear.
The back house is a secluded courtyard, isolated from all the hustle and bustle.
Xiu'er's face was full of anxiety. She paced around the room and murmured: "What to do, what to do, it will start soon. Mr. Li hasn't come here yet, what should I do..."
Lin Wanru sat beside the bed, looked at Lin Yong beside her, and said, "You will take Xiu'er away later."
Lin Yong was stunned and asked: "What about you, Miss?"
Lin Wanru didn't look at him and said calmly: "I have my own way."
"No!" Lin Yong simply refused: "If the lady doesn't leave, we won't leave either!"
A look of determination appeared on Xiu'er's face, and she kept saying: "I'm not leaving either, I want to go and let's go together!"
There were footsteps outside the door. An old woman and several maids walked in. As soon as they entered the door, they said anxiously: "Oh, what time has it been? Why haven't you changed your clothes yet? It's almost too late. Hurry up, hurry up..."
The old woman looked at the maid beside her and said, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly wash and dress up the bride..."
Xiu'er stood in front of Lin Wanru and said, "Our young lady is not ready yet..."
The old woman looked at her and said dissatisfied: "Where did you get this wild girl from? Throw her out!"
Several maids dragged Xiu'er and dragged her out of the yard.
The old woman then looked at Lin Wanru and said, "Oh, why are you not in a hurry at all? Although you don't have to pay a visit, it will take a long time to get dressed up. When the time comes, you will be delayed. I will blame you, old lady."
But I can’t afford the crime…”
Lin Yong rolled up his sleeves. Lin Wanru glanced at him. He looked at the old woman bitterly and strode out.
The old woman closed the door and immediately ordered the maids around her: "You guys, please move quickly. If I delay something important, I won't spare you!"
"Take out all those jewelry..."
"Wedding dress, bring out the wedding dress quickly!"
"Scissors, who does this? They don't even cut off the tags. If you wear them out, you'll laugh to death!"
"What, the scissors are gone, go, go, go find another one outside..."
…
Half an hour later, the old woman circled around the bed, with a smile on her face, and said: "Tsk, tsk..., after working in this industry for so long, this is the first time that the old woman has seen such a beautiful bride..."
She waved to the maid behind her and said, "Why don't you quickly cover the bride's head and take her to her new house..."
When things here were over, she breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the yard, and met an old man walking towards her.
"good luck!"
"good luck!"
The two exchanged greetings, and the old woman looked at the old man in surprise and asked: "Old Wangtou, what's wrong with you? You're so listless. Is it because the young master didn't give you money to count your days?"
The two of them can be regarded as companions, one is responsible for the bride's etiquette and the other is responsible for calculating good times and auspicious days, and they often cooperate with each other on weekdays.
Old Man Wang looked at him, just sighed and shook his head slightly.
The old woman suddenly seemed to have thought of something and asked, "You must have miscalculated the date, right?"
The old man's face immediately turned red and he said angrily: "Mrs. Lin, don't talk nonsense. My old Wangtou's signboard is so loud that it will make you miscalculate the date?"
"I didn't calculate the day wrong. Why are you looking so sad? You're just like your dead mother-in-law... sick!" The old woman glanced at him and left.
Seeing him walking away, the old man shook his head. As he walked, he said bitterly: "It's unlucky, it's unlucky... I've been saying that it will be an auspicious day after three months. I must not listen. I must not listen. It's out."
Don't blame me..."
Outside the small courtyard, somewhere in the shadows.
Lin Yong gritted his teeth and said, "I will save the lady no matter what!"
He turned to look at Xiu'er and whispered: "You wait here for a while, and I'll let them think of a way to send you out first..."
After that, he strode away.
Xiu'er stood there in shock for a long time. After a while, she finally couldn't help but squatted down and cried loudly.
After an unknown amount of time, a familiar voice sounded in her ears.
"What's wrong? Did Lin Yong steal your candied haws again?"
Xiu'er raised her head, the tears in her eyes were reflected by the lights in the distance, shining brightly.
…
A servant of the governor's office supported the young master and walked towards a certain courtyard, saying repeatedly: "Master, please slow down, slow down..."
"What's the point of being too slow..." The young master, smelling of alcohol, said, "If I'm too slow, wouldn't it make the bride anxious?"
"The bride can't run away..." The servant said something and hurriedly said: "Master, please slow down, be careful if you fall..."
When the two of them walked to the entrance of the courtyard, they happened to meet several other people.
The servant was startled for a moment, then pointed to the back and said, "You are going in the wrong direction, the gate is over there."
He just thought these people were guests who had gone the wrong way. After saying something, he supported the young master and prepared to go in.
Changde looked at Li Yi and said, "You go in first."
Chang De's voice was high-pitched. The young master didn't hear clearly what the old man opposite said, but the voice made him very uncomfortable. He frowned and said: "You are neither male nor female. Why does my father invite everyone to my home...
…”
Mr. Xu looked at the young master with pity in his eyes, and suddenly felt a chill under his crotch, so he couldn't help but reach out and take it out.
Changde took the young master from the servant's hand and said, "Go and do your work, I will support him."
The man subconsciously let go of his hand, then reacted and asked: "Who are you..."
Before he finished speaking, he fell down.
Li Yi looked at Lao Chang, nodded and walked into the yard.
The young master's miserable screams came next.
Inside the room, Lin Wanru was sitting beside the bed, with a hijab covering her head. This piece of red cloth seemed to isolate everything outside.
After the maids helped her dress up just now, she took a look in the mirror and saw that the person in the mirror was extremely beautiful.
People often say that the most beautiful time in a woman's life is when she puts on her wedding dress, and this is indeed true.
It's a pity that the person she was thinking about didn't see the way she put on her wedding dress.
In her right hand she holds a pair of scissors.
For more than half a year, she has been learning Kung Fu from Ruyi. She is not a weak woman in the traditional sense. The governor is no match for her.
Tonight was her last chance. Taking him hostage and forcing the governor of Shengzhou to send them out of the city was her only choice.
The door was opened from the outside, and her heart tightened.
The sound of footsteps gradually came from the door and came to the bed.
A hand lifted her hijab.
She stood up suddenly, raised one hand, and pointed the scissors in her hand towards his neck.
Her wrist was held in mid-air, and the scissors were snatched away with the other hand.
Her face turned pale, and her heart sank quickly.
Li Yi looked at her and said in surprise: "On your wedding night, you are planning to murder your husband!"
