Chu Tianyang stood to the side and asked Shen Jiaojiao calmly, "Miss Shen, what do you think about this?"
Seeing the change in expression on Shen Wanshan and Wang Shidou's faces, he continued, "Have you decided to leave with your lover or..."
Shen Wanshan glared fiercely at Wang Haotian, his eyes filled with daggers. If there hadn't been so many people around, he would have stabbed him to death. He shouted to his servants, "What are you all standing there for? Drag this irrelevant person away!"
Wang Haotian struggled desperately, and then a weathered woman ran out from the other side, dressed in coarse cloth. Before she even arrived, her rough voice rang out: "What are you doing? Let go of my son! Just because you're of high status, does that mean you can do whatever you want? Using your status to break up a loving couple, don't you feel any remorse?"
Wang was so angry that her teeth itched. Her hand involuntarily grabbed Shen Jiaojiao's hand. "Where did this crazy woman come from? She's really making me furious!"
Shen Jiaojiao frowned under the veil. Her hand was a little sore from Wang Shi's grip, and these two scoundrels were making a scene here, and it seemed like it would never end.
Wang suppressed her anger and forced a smile as she said to the two men, "You are both guests. Today is my daughter's wedding day. Please come in and have a drink."
She thought she should first lure the people in and get through this safely, so as not to make a fool of herself in front of outsiders.
To everyone's surprise, the two women on the other side showed no mercy, especially the old woman, who wailed loudly: "Is it good whether she's your own daughter or not? You're pushing your daughter into a fire pit just for wealth and status. Are there any mothers in the world as vicious as you? Unlike me, I dare to challenge authority for my child's happiness! You don't deserve to be my child's mother."
Wang Haotian felt the person who was holding him stop moving. Seemingly encouraged, he pushed the person away, rushed to Shen Jiaojiao, knelt down, stared at the figure in front of him, and said loudly, "Jiaojiao! Do you dare to come with me? I will definitely treat you well in the future."
Shen Jiaojiao ripped off the veil, revealing a face beneath the phoenix crown that was not particularly beautiful, but with lips as red as fire. Under the sunlight, she seemed to be glowing, so dazzling that it was hard to look directly at her.
Those around her stared in amazement at her. Chu Tianyang couldn't help but secretly admire her beauty. So beautiful! What a pity, paired with a short-lived crown prince. What a pity.
The people around him shared similar views and thoughts; no one hid their true feelings, and their intentions were easy to guess.
Wang Haotian was momentarily stunned by her stunningly beautiful face. Although he had always known she was good-looking, she was now even more beautiful than a fairy from heaven.
A fascinated smile spread across his face, like a dog eyeing a bone. He interpreted the act of pulling off the veil as consent, and his smile grew even more unrestrained.
Before anyone could think further, Shen Jiaojiao stepped forward and slapped Wang Haotian across the face.
With a loud "smack," the slap was quite forceful, and Wang Haotian's head was knocked to the side. His smile froze on his face as he touched the side of his cheek that had been hit, looking at Shen Jiaojiao in shock, like an abandoned dog, his face full of sadness.
"Get out! Who said you're in love with someone? You're a toad trying to eat swan meat! If you don't want to die, get out of here." Shen Jiaojiao said coldly.
The scene quieted down, which seemed to be different from what everyone had imagined.
I thought I was going to see a melodramatic tearjerker, but it turned out to be an action movie!
Wang Haotian didn't dare to speak. Why was this different from what he had expected? What was wrong with Shen Jiaojiao? She was clearly a simple-minded fool, so how did she suddenly turn into a shrew? Could it be that she had suffered too much trauma?
"Jiaojiao, I love you! Don't be afraid..." Before Wang Haotian could finish speaking, Shen Jiaojiao kicked him, knocking him to the ground.
Then he rushed forward and slapped him across the face several times. As soon as he stopped, he started kicking him without even looking, kicking him repeatedly.
The people around were stunned, and no one said anything to stop them.
Finally finished kicking, Shen Jiaojiao shook her hand and said, "Do you understand now? Don't try to pull strings, or I'll beat you up every time I see you, understand?"
"Aww! You bastard! How could you be so cruel!" Before Wang Haotian could react, his mother was already frantic. She rushed over, hugged her son, and started wailing.
Chu Tianyang's eyes widened, and he swallowed hard. Were all the women in the General's Mansion this fierce? Luckily, it wasn't his wife!
At this moment, he composed himself, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, glanced at the Shen couple, and then said to Shen Jiaojiao, "This is the first time I've seen a bride lift her veil and hit someone herself. It seems a bit different from the rumors. Is this the family discipline of the General's Mansion?"
Wang's face is like the weather in June, changing every now and then.
General Shen's face was expressionless, revealing nothing of his thoughts. He asked stiffly, "Are you still going to marry her or not?"
The room fell silent again at this question.
Everyone stared at Chu Tianyang. Chu Tianyang looked at the bridal sedan chair behind him and said to General Shen, "The bridal sedan chair is already at the door, and the bride is in place. We have to take her back no matter what!"
Shen Wanshan glanced at him and said to Wang Shi, "Put on the veil, prepare to get married!"
The mother and son, who had been ignored, simply walked past them and began to yell, "Is there any justice left? Is there no law? This Tian family is just snatching people away like this!"
"Shut up! If you keep nagging me, I'll slap you to death!" Shen Jiaojiao said angrily, "You've really given me too much face."
Then everyone remembered that there were two scoundrels causing trouble.
"Father! Arrest them both and send them to the authorities!" Shen Jiaojiao wouldn't show them any mercy.
Wang Haotian was now scared. He didn't know why her attitude had changed after only three days apart. She clearly loved him, right? So love can disappear, right?
Even as he was being dragged away, his eyes remained fixed on Shen Jiaojiao, filled with deep condemnation, as if questioning her: Why did you betray me?
Chu Tianyang, always eager for drama, remarked leisurely, "Oh my! How touching! Lovers are being torn apart! Is this a sign of moral decay or a distortion of human nature?"
Shen Wanshan's face darkened. "If you can't speak properly, shut up! Can you even speak human language? As a general, when have I ever been treated like this! I'm so angry!"
Just as the two were locked in a struggle, Shen Jiaojiao took the veil from herself, put it on, and asked in a cold voice, "Are you leaving or not?"
All eyes were on her. The bride, dressed in a red wedding gown, stood there gracefully, and her soft voice came again: "We can set off now."
Everyone finally realized what was happening, and Chu Tianyang laughed: "Miss Chen is really something else! So impatient?"
