"An orphan girl?"
"Just because she's an orphan, can you force her into becoming your concubine regardless of her wishes?"
"Whose law teaches you to act like this?" With just three sentences, Su Liming left the guest speechless.
Even though Li Zhang was an imperial merchant, he could not withstand the forced intrusion of the officers and soldiers led by Su Liming.
Not long after, Qiuyue was brought out by the officers and soldiers, and the veil on her head was no longer on her head.
Her fair face was covered with tears, and her eyes showed some relief at having survived the disaster.
"Thank you for saving my life, sir."
Qiuyue didn't expect that there was actually someone willing to take care of this matter, so she quickly bowed to Su Liming and Mrs. Su.
Mrs. Su felt relieved when she saw Qiuyue, who was safe and sound. However, she couldn't help feeling unhappy with Qiuyue when she thought about how she had waited in the temple for such a long time, and how this man had gotten into so much trouble by running away.
In fact, the more he looked at Qiuyue, the more he felt that she was too petty.
Thinking that this was the person the emperor wanted, Madam Su forced out a rather amiable smile and waved towards Qiuyue, "Good child, I've made it so hard for you."
Although Qiuyue was an orphan, she was quite sensitive to people's emotions and naturally discovered that the lady in front of her disliked her.
Qiuyue didn't care why the noble man in front of her came to rescue her, but she finally had the opportunity to jump out of the fire pit in front of her, so she naturally had to seize it.
After figuring it out, Qiuyue walked behind Mrs. Su without any hesitation.
"I think this girl is quite pleasing to the eye. From today on, she is the adopted daughter of our Su family."
"In three days, our Su family will officially give it a name. We hope you will come and patronize us then."
Mrs. Su's words clearly supported Qiuyue.
Everyone also realized that something was wrong and watched the incident in silence.
Ning Wan was happily eating in the corner.
[Complete the temporary task and get rewards:
Points: +200 (accumulated automatically)
Skills acquired: None.]
[Host, we have enough points. Do you want to start the main quest?]
Xiao Qi asked happily as he looked at Ning Wan who had easily completed another task.
Ning Wan, who was busy eating, nodded and said, "Of course."
Only after completing the task will I feel safe.
[Main quest is being issued: Host, please complete the task of seizing power and help Ning Mu regain the throne.
Task completion deadline: three months.
Mission failure penalty: The host will be unable to leave this plane.]
"Pah~"
The sound of the plates breaking was particularly harsh in the silent space.
The two groups that were still confronting each other immediately turned their eyes to Ning Wan.
The guests around also looked over, trying to see who was so tactless as to smash the plate.
Ning Wan looked at the fallen chicken leg with a hint of regret. After noticing that everyone around her was looking at her again, she stood up and picked up a glass of wine from the table, "Hurry up and drink."
Then he sat down again.
Everyone was thinking: The bride is gone, why is he still drinking wine? Is this guy out of his mind?
"How dare you, a woman like you, have no right to speak here."
Li Zhang had already had his bride snatched away from him, and he was holding a grudge. Now, seeing Ning Wan dare to mock him in front of so many people, he felt even angrier.
He called the servant over and was about to attack Ning Wan.
"Wait."
Qiuyue, who was standing behind Mrs. Su, suddenly stood up.
She realized that Ning Wan was the person who had left her in the restaurant without helping her, and she didn't expect that the other party would actually come here to attend the wedding.
After Qiuyue spoke, Mrs. Su hurriedly pulled Qiuyue up.
She didn't want to waste time on these messy things, she just wanted to take Qiuyue back and report back quickly.
But Qiuyue didn't want to.
Ning Wan clearly had the opportunity to save herself before, but as a woman, she not only watched coldly, but also mocked her.
She wanted to see her regret it.
"Mrs. Su, I want to take this girl back with me."
As soon as Qiuyue said this, Mrs. Su frowned.
After thinking about it, he just thought that Ning Wan was Qiuyue's friend. He looked at Ning Wan again. She had a sallow face, fairly regular facial features, broad shoulders and a thick waist. She looked like someone who could do things. It would not be bad to take her back to be a maid for this girl.
"Come here."
Madam Su spoke almsgivingly, as if it was a great gift from heaven to Ning Wan.
"What does Madam Su mean?"
Ning Wan looked at Madam Su's dog-like movements, smiled, and sat down. She picked up another chicken leg and put it in the bowl. "Is it illegal for me to attend a banquet and drink at a wedding?"
Mrs. Su's hand froze. She had not expected Ning Wan to reject her. She withdrew her hand awkwardly, feeling even more displeased with Qiuyue.
She originally thought that they were people Qiuyue knew, and that if she went along with Qiuyue's wishes, she could do these two people a favor. However, she didn't expect that Ning Wan had no such intention at all, and she lost face in front of so many people.
"Our girl has taken a fancy to you, why don't we..."
"If your girl wants the moon in the sky, you're going to pull it down for her?"
Ning Wan didn't care about the identities of the two people and spoke directly.
Li Zhang, who was standing by, also relaxed a little and even smiled slightly.
Su Liming: "Miss, you are too kind. If you don't want to come to the Su family, just refuse. There is no need to mock my wife with words."
Su Liming, who was standing by, naturally couldn't bear to see someone bullying his wife in front of him. After pulling Madam Su behind him, he spoke politely.
