Chapter 251: Escaping from Marriage

Hu Xiner was unhappy. You can scold her, but you can't scold her husband!

She replied directly: "So the Duke is so concerned about my husband's affairs? Unfortunately, he has already married me. Even if Miss Xuanyuan likes him very much, he can't be your son-in-law!"

This remark was an implicit criticism of the Duke's narrow-mindedness - it was clearly his wife and daughter who had initiated the dispute and coveted the married man, but now he was holding on to Mu Qing.

I don’t know if he was blinded by the Duke’s wife’s pillow talk!

Seeing her sarcastic tone, the Duke was immediately furious and glared: "I treated you well in the past!"

"Have I treated you unfairly?" Hu Xin'er retorted. "Why, you must clear this matter up in front of His Majesty, right? Let's go! Let's go now!"

It was obvious that the Duke's Mansion was bullying others at the beginning. If Hu Xin'er hadn't been smart, she would have been thrown into a pig cage by the Duke's wife and the second lady of the Xuanyuan family.

Hu Xiner originally thought that the Duke was the only smart person among them, but she didn't expect that he would come to cause trouble for them afterwards.

Of course, the Duke didn't dare bring this matter up before His Majesty. He glared at Mu Qing and said, "Lu Yunjue, why do you always hide behind women?"

Hu Xin'er stretched out her hand to protect her husband, and they both said in unison: "Why, have you never seen anyone who lives off women?"

When husband and wife are of one mind, they can accomplish anything!

Guoguang was almost thrown over by the two of them and said angrily: "This general will not argue with a little girl like you!"

Then he left with his hands behind his back.

Looking at his back, the couple smiled at the same time.

"You two are such a refined person." At this time, Master Liu came forward with a smile.

When Hu Xiner saw him, she was surprised for a moment, but then she understood.

Before, when they were at the Duke's Mansion, the Duke's wife wanted to bring Mr. Liu and her daughter together.

However, Xuanyuan Eri behaved like that at the banquet between the two families.

Mother Lu often chatted with Hu Xiner about family matters, and she mentioned that Madam Liu had cut off all ties with the Duke's Mansion since then.

But the wife of the Duke was unwilling to accept this. She felt that the Liu family was too ungrateful to look down on her well-educated, gentle and beautiful daughter.

So she used the name of the Duke's Mansion to force the Liu family.

But the Liu family is upright and values ​​integrity the most. How could they possibly compromise?

After that, the two families had a quarrel and have now severed ties and almost have no contact with each other.

Because of the conflict between their two families, Hu Xiner offended the Duke at the eldest princess's wedding banquet, and only Master Liu dared to come over and chat.

Because Young Master Liu was Lu Yunjue's classmate and friend, Hu Xin'er was very polite to him. She bowed and said, "Greetings, Young Master Liu."

Mu Qing maintained her image as a noble lady and nodded slightly.

Young Master Liu came over and tapped him on the shoulder with his fan: "Lu Yunjue, you are so mean! You are so gentle to your wife, but so cold to me."

Mu Qing asked calmly, "What did you say?"

Young Master Liu was caught by his gaze and immediately retracted his hand: "Nothing, I'm saying you're so lucky to have married such a fearless woman like my sister-in-law. If she knew martial arts, I'm afraid she would be a female general!"

Mu Qing nodded, his eyes unconsciously becoming softer.

Young Master Liu secretly complained: This Lu Yunjue is the perfect example of what it means to forget friends for the sake of beauty!

Hu Xin'er noticed the awkward atmosphere and asked casually, "Wasn't there a servant named Feng Ge with you before? Why didn't he come?"

Young Master Liu finally realized something and said doubtfully, "He was behind me just now. Maybe he went to the toilet."

Hu Xiner thought, could it be that Feng Ge had a psychological trauma towards her after what happened at the Duke's Mansion?

But that's not right. They met again after arriving at the Duke's Mansion, and it was Feng Ge who took the initiative to visit.

Young Master Liu then asked, "Speaking of which, what is your relationship with Feng Ge? Don't play dumb. I can tell from the few times we've met that you two have quite a connection!"

Hu Xiner awkwardly changed the subject.

Mr. Liu is a nice guy, but he keeps bringing up irrelevant issues.

She had treated Feng Ge badly last time, and the anger in her heart had almost subsided.

So as long as Feng Ge doesn't provoke her, she has no intention of pursuing the matter.

During the conversation, Master Liu suddenly asked in surprise, "Isn't the auspicious time almost here? Why hasn't the Prince Consort arrived yet?"

Logically speaking, it’s time to get married!

Hu Xiner's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that Erdong had run away from his marriage?

She looked around and found that the guests' faces showed varying degrees of anxiety.

If it was an ordinary family, it would be fine, but this is the wedding of the eldest princess!

Besides, the Emperor and the Crown Prince were both present. Even if Erdong wanted to escape the marriage, it wouldn't be that exaggerated...

She was trying hard to comfort herself, but her heartbeat was getting faster and faster. A young eunuch ran over in a panic, and his shrill voice cut through the wedding scene -

"It's terrible! The prince consort ran away!"

What? !

Everyone was suddenly in an uproar.

At this moment, a woman in a red dress came out. She looked around the room with a sharp expression: "Isn't it just that the prince consort ran away? What's the big deal?"

She raised her hand, causing her wide sleeves to flutter, and the golden phoenix on them began to dance vividly.

With such an arrogant yet calm demeanor, she is undoubtedly the eldest princess!

Seeing that she looked nonchalant and appeared in the hall early, even with her veil lifted, the noble ladies immediately frowned.

The servants in charge of preparing the wedding were so anxious that they were almost crying: "Princess, this is your wedding, you can't treat it as a joke!"

Even Hu Xiner was worried about the eldest princess.

Today's ceremony was so grand that almost everyone in the capital knew that the eldest princess was going to marry a prince consort, and the emperor and the prince were present.

If the prince consort ran away at this time, it would be equivalent to throwing the face and dignity of the royal family on the ground!

But the eldest princess was not in a hurry at all. She curled her red lips slightly and smiled evilly.

She winked at the Shadow Guard beside her, and then a sharp whistle came from the Shadow Guard's mouth -

A figure slowly walked towards the door. It was the leader of the Shadow Guard - Ying Yi.

He tiptoed to the ground and in a few steps he was in front of the eldest princess. Then he knelt on one knee and clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I have fulfilled your mission!"

Next to him, a handsome man in red clothes was tied up and had his head hung listlessly.

If it’s not Erdong, then who else could it be?

Oh my god, it turns out that the eldest princess had already predicted that Erdong would run away from the marriage, so she set an ambush in advance.

I thought the dust had settled, but unexpectedly the emperor flew into a rage: "Erdong actually dared to disobey the emperor's order and escape the marriage. This is simply treason. Come, drag him out and behead him!"

Seeing the good-tempered emperor suddenly get angry, everyone in the hall was frightened and fell to their knees.
