Fu Xuechen breaks into the bridal chamber at night
Fu Xuechen opened the brocade box, which contained several letters that could prove that the Qi and He families were forming a clique for personal gain. He unfolded the letters and read them one by one.
One of the letters contained evidence that He Xiaowen and Qi Jinqian had reached a consensus to shield He Zefeng in prison. The letter read: One year later, when the situation has calmed down completely and the family of the deceased has been appeased, Qi will release Mr. He from prison.
In fact, Qi Jinqian could have bailed out He Zefeng in less than a year. He delayed it to a year just to teach He Zefeng a lesson. Who made him dare to set his sights on Su Qingli!
If his father He Xiaowen had not still been of use, Qi Jinqian would not have cared about He Zefeng's life or death. It would have been a waste of time for such a worthless prodigal son to die in vain.
"Shi Meng, you did a good job. Your previous crimes will be forgiven. You don't have to go to prison. You can stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Thinking that tomorrow is Su Qingli's wedding day, Fu Xuechen's hands trembled as he covered the brocade box, and his heart became confused.
At Fu Xuechen's suggestion, Qian Jue placed Fugui's body in the cellar for cold storage.
Su Qingli tossed and turned on the couch, unable to fall asleep.
As soon as the sun rises, she will put on her bright red wedding gown and become a wife, even though Qi Jinqian and she have agreed that they are just pretending to be husband and wife.
The figure of Fu Xuechen could not be shaken off from her mind. On the eve of her wedding, she still could not forget her ex-husband. She was in a mess and could not sort out the confusion.
When she woke up, the sky outside the window was a little pale. It was Madam Su and Su Zhaoming knocking on the door that woke her up. "Sister, get up and dress up quickly. The sedan chair from the Qi Mansion is at the door."
"Li'er, today is your big day, don't oversleep."
Su Qingli got off the bed and stared at herself in the bronze mirror. She didn't sleep well last night, so she looked tired and a little haggard. Fortunately, she could cover it up with rouge, powder and a veil.
"Mother, brother, I'll open the door right away."
After the door was opened, two or three maids sent by Qi Jinqian came to help her dress up as a bride. During this time, Su Zhaoming was worried that she would be hungry when getting on the sedan chair, so he brought some snacks.
The maid helped her to put up a bun with gold and silver threads. Several people worked together and finished decorating a complete set of head ornaments in about a cup of tea. At this time, Su Qingli ate a few snacks with tea.
Her hunger was relieved, and the phoenix crown and bridal robe she wore were dignified and elegant, which made her already beautiful face even more extraordinary and graceful.
Su Qingli put on her lipstick and bright red embroidered shoes. Madam Su helped her into the bridal sedan.
"Qingli, live a good life with Jinqian." Mrs. Su is a traditional woman. She believes that it is a woman's responsibility to take care of her husband and children. She did not quite approve of Su Qingli's business before.
Unfortunately, the family could not make ends meet and she could not stop her daughter from doing business.
Su Qingli's delicate, nail-painted fingers touched Madam Su's smooth, delicate hand. "Don't worry, mother. My daughter and Jinqian will live in harmony and happiness."
Mrs. Su reluctantly let go of Su Qingli's hand, tears in her eyes.
The sedan chair swayed to the festively decorated Qi Mansion to the sound of cheerful music, and Qi Jinqian personally greeted the bride at the door.
Holding Su Qingli's soft hands tightly, Qi Jinqian's heart surged, "Qingli, I finally married you."
Su Qingli, who was wearing a red veil, was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but she did not think much about it. In addition, the master of ceremonies in the mansion said that the auspicious time had arrived, "Jinqian, let's go in and get married quickly. Don't miss the auspicious time."
Qi Jinqian smiled slightly and took Su Qingli's hand and walked into the mansion.
The entire Qi Mansion was filled with guests today, and the atmosphere was filled with joy.
"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Bow to your parents twice!"
Amid the emcee's high-pitched voice, both of them knelt before Minister Qi Yingying and offered him tea.
"The new daughter-in-law offers tea to her father."
"Good boy, get up quickly. I'll drink this tea. This is your wedding day. It's a little gift from me. Please accept it." Minister Qi looked very happy. He took the tea from the two and stuffed a red envelope with good meaning into each of them.
Qi Jinqian had difficulty walking, so he skipped the kneeling ceremony and just stood aside as a decoration. Su Qingli was the only one who performed the complicated etiquette and rules of the wedding.
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
After the three bows were completed, Su Qingli was sent to the bridal chamber.
The two maids closed the door of the bridal chamber, and she sat on the wedding bed, but she heard light footsteps coming from behind the bed.
"Jinqian?" Su Qingli guessed blindly that it was Qi Jinqian. There was no way anyone else could appear in the bridal chamber. Today was their wedding day.
"As expected, your newlywed husband has been taken away by the people from the yamen." Fu Xuechen, dressed in a black brocade robe, slowly approached Su Qingli.
The familiar voice was like a bolt of thunder from a clear sky. Su Qingli was instantly shocked. How could Fu Xuechen appear in their bridal chamber?
"Master Prime Minister, why is it you? Why are you here? Could it be that you divorced me and are unwilling to let me go, or are you here to stand up for your fiancée, Miss Liu?"
Su Qingli lifted the red veil and glared at Fu Xuechen, her accusation filled with grief and indignation.
First, Liu Meishuang couldn't bear to see her remarry, so she wanted to destroy her innocence and break up her marriage. Later, Fu Xuechen plotted against her new husband Qi Jinqian on their wedding day.
This engaged couple is really great!
Fu Xuechen looked directly at Su Qingli, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Miss Su, do you want to know why the Sixth Young Master Qi was captured?"
"It must be that the Prime Minister is all-powerful and doesn't like me, so he harmed my husband. If you have anything to say, just come to me. Jinqian is innocent!" Su Qingli didn't think about it. Fu Xuechen had deep feelings for Liu Meishuang and hated her to the core. He would most likely vent his anger on Qi Jinqian.
"Innocent?" Fu Xuechen chewed on the word playfully, then laughed out loud, sneering, "Ms. Su, even now, is still so innocent and adorable. She's been sold and still has to help people count the money."
"Master Prime Minister, let's be frank. What exactly do you want in exchange for letting Jinqian and me go?"
Su Qingli had a fire burning in her belly and had no patience to listen to Fu Xuechen's insinuations. She had already concluded that Fu Xuechen had bad intentions and just because he couldn't stand her, she took out her anger on Qi Jinqian.
Fu Xuechen heard her calling him "Jin Qian" repeatedly, which sounded catchy and affectionate, and he felt a surge of irritation in his heart. "Miss Su is more gullible than I thought. The Sixth Young Master Qi can trick you into a loop with just a few traps."
"Your words are too clumsy, Prime Minister. Do you think you can drive a wedge between Jin Qian and me based on your one-sided words? We are in love and husband and wife are one. You can't sow discord with just a few words."
Su Qingli didn't believe Fu Xuechen's words at all. Not only were they empty words, but she and Fu Xuechen already had a dispute that hadn't been resolved.
