Nangong Jiu's heart skipped a beat.
"Great-grandfather, isn't that a bad name?"
"Good, very good!"
Nangong Jiu patted his chest lightly and breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared me. I thought the name was not good. I came up with it with great difficulty."
At the dinner table.
Chu Xia wrapped herself in a cloak, bowed deeply to everyone and said, "Thank you all for extending a helping hand to me during the darkest moment of my life.
Because of you, my child and I have hope; because of you, my child and I have confidence. Thank you..."
After saying thank you, Chu Xia looked at Nangong Jiu with a smile.
"Jiu'er is the lifesaver of the three of us, mother and children. I would like to ask Jiu'er to give names to the two children."
After a round of applause.
Nangong Jiu stood on the bench in a serious manner: "These two children are the ones my aunt sacrificed her life for. The brother is called Xiaoyang and the sister is called Xiaoyue.
It means the sun and the moon. I hope they can illuminate my aunt's future life!"
"Not bad! The name sounds nice and has a good meaning! Jiuer, you are so amazing..."
"The princess is so talented at such a young age!"
There was constant applause and cheers.
Nangong Jiu raised his hand and said, "Eat your feast, eat your feast..."
“Haha…eat eat eat…”
Zhou and Chen governments.
Two days later.
Despite their reluctance, the two families had to obey the order and hold a simple wedding.
Early in the morning, the Zhou family sent a green sedan chair, without a groom and without the joy of a wedding, to the Chen family to pick them up like thieves.
The situation of the Chen family was similar. They had no guests and no dowry. They just bought the cheapest wedding dress at an adult shop and prepared to send Chen Rouer out.
"Dad, Mom, please give me some dowry, otherwise how can I survive in the Zhou family?"
Chen Rouer's other brothers and sisters pointed at Chen Rouer and started scolding her.
"You are a deadly star!
You've ruined the Chen family to this point, making it difficult for us brothers and sisters to find marriages, and you still want a dowry? Are you dreaming?"
"I don't have a dowry. People will not only laugh at me, but also at the Chen family."
"Because of you, the Chen family has become a big joke!
Everyone was saying that the Chen family girl was vicious, seducing other people's husbands and killing people to get to the top...
Tell me yourself, who would dare to marry us? Who would dare to marry into our family?
It’s all you, it’s all you…”
Chen Rouer was pushed out of the house by her brothers and sisters as if she were throwing away garbage.
The servants of the Zhou family who were welcoming the bride didn't say anything and just stepped forward to pull the person into the sedan chair.
The sedan bearers deliberately tormented her, shaking the sedan until it was almost falling apart. Chen Rouer was even more dizzy from the shaking, but she didn't dare to shout for a stop.
The maid beside her took out her purse with a distressed look on her face and said, "Gentlemen, please be kind and stop shaking the girl. If you keep shaking like this, the young lady will get dizzy."
The sedan bearers weighed their purses and finally completed the second half of the journey.
Arrived at the gate of Zhou Mansion.
The groom still didn't show up.
A servant rudely dragged Chen Rouer out of the sedan chair.
Accompanied by the laughter of the people watching outside the mansion, Chen Rouer was dragged into the house in a panic and dragged to the front of the wedding hall.
Zhou Wende and his wife sat in the hall, without any joy on their faces, both glaring.
Zhou Lingchuan's sister Zhou Lingrong gnashed her teeth and said, "Chen Rouer, you have caused so much trouble to our family!
Because the Emperor has granted us this marriage, our family has no choice but to marry you. But remember, the Emperor can manage the marriage, but not the life after marriage. Just wait and see."
"Sister Ling Rong, things have already come to this. There's no point in saying this. Let's just..."
"Bullshit, you're dreaming. Because of you, my husband's family drove me back home. If I don't have a good life, you won't have one either!"
Zhou Wende looked at Zhou Lingchuan, who was standing aside with an expressionless face. "Chuan'er, get married. This is a time of great trouble. Don't cause any more trouble."
"Let her hold a rooster in her arms when she comes to the wedding."
"You want to disobey the order?!" a childish voice sounded.
Nangong Jiu walked in with little Wang Xiaoxing and the eunuch who announced the decree.
The eunuch who announced the decree flicked the whisk in his hand.
"Zhou Lingchuan, who are you trying to fool by holding a rooster and getting married? Disobeying the emperor's order is a capital offense. Don't you need me to remind you of this?
I don’t understand why you guys even resorted to murder just to stay together.
The Emperor has granted you both your blessing and even issued a special decree granting your marriage, so why are you acting so reluctant? Who are you doing this for?
Stop pretending. There are no other guests except us.
Come, get married openly and live your sweet life happily."
Zhou Wende hurriedly led his family forward and saluted: "Greetings to the princess, and to the two eunuchs!"
Nangong Jiu curled his lips and ignored it.
The eunuch who announced the decree replied, "Today is an auspicious day for the wedding of the children of the Zhou and Chen families. We are here to watch the ceremony!"
Zhou Wende made a gesture of invitation: "Please take a seat!"
"No need, we'll just stand there for a while."
Zhou Wende had no choice but to sit back in his seat. Zhou Lingchuan gritted his teeth, forced a smile, and married Chen Rouer.
As the housekeeper said "The ceremony is over", Nangong Jiu said, "Congratulations! A scumbag man and a vicious woman, a perfect match!
I wish you will love and hate each other and hate each other till old age! "
Chen Rouer couldn't stand it anymore: "Princess, I'm very grateful that you can come to watch the ceremony..."
"Watching the ceremony? Are you a vicious woman like you? This princess is here to see what happens to you!
You finally got your wish come true and married the scumbag Zhou Lingchuan. How do you feel?
Come to think of it, you are quite pitiful.
Without a single guest, without a dowry worth a copper coin, without a wedding procession, without a single relative to see you off, you are probably the only one in the world who has such a bleak wedding!"
"You, you are going too far..." Chen Rouer blurted out in excitement. Halfway through her words, Zhou Lingchuan covered her mouth and dragged her into the bridal chamber.
Nangong Jiu clapped her hands and said, "Let's go. There's nothing to see. The Zhou Mansion right now is just a filthy place. It's disgusting if you stay there for too long."
Then he walked out first.
The Zhou family members knelt and saluted: "Farewell, Princess!"
After the people left, Mrs. Zhou jumped up and yelled at the bridal chamber: "What a jinx! Even at this time, you still want to show off your words."
Chen Rouer, who was being scolded in the bridal chamber, was being strangled by Zhou Lingchuan and pressed to the ground.
"It's all because of you, this vicious woman, that our Zhou family is in such a miserable state. My mother and I have already agreed to take you into our family, so why do you still want to kill her?"
Chen Rouer had difficulty breathing. Looking at the murderous intent in Zhou Lingzhou's eyes, she struggled unwillingly and grabbed Zhou Lingchuan's eyes. When he let go in pain, she hid aside.
"I didn't mean to kill her, I just wanted to teach her a lesson."
"She doesn't even bother to argue with you, so why should you teach her a lesson?
She was about to give birth, and you tripped her, and you chose a place with stairs, and you tell me you didn't want to kill her?"
"You evil woman, your thoughts are clear as day, written all over your face..."
