Shi Dalang laughed and said, "This is Aunt Tian from Xiakeng Village. She specializes in matchmaking. I've put a lot of thought into marrying you!"
Chen Jingxi sneered in his heart, but remained expressionless on the surface. He said calmly, "In that case, I'll have to trouble Aunt Tian to take care of it."
Seeing this, Aunt Tian hurriedly nodded in agreement, but she was secretly sighing that such a beautiful woman was paired with such a man, which was really like a flower stuck in cow dung.
"Wife, the day has been chosen. It's tomorrow."
Chen Jingxi was surprised and said, "What do you mean tomorrow? Dalang, this is too hasty."
Shi Dalang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Are you unhappy?"
Chen Jingxi said hurriedly: "No, I'm just thinking about you. This is only once in a lifetime, so I want to make it grand and give you face."
"Don't worry, daughter-in-law. It will be a grand affair, and everyone in the village, young and old, will be invited."
As he said this, he slowly approached Chen Jingxi, took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, and said with a lewd smile on the corner of his mouth: "Wife, you smell so good."
When Chen Jingxi heard this, he felt sick and got goosebumps all over his body. He felt like he was being entangled by a snake.
He suppressed his discomfort and said with a smile, "The wedding is tomorrow, and there's still a lot to do. Go get busy."
Shi Dalang looked at Chen Jingxi like this and thought she was shy, but when he thought that tomorrow she would be his, he felt full of energy.
Chen Jingxi cursed inwardly, Chu Jinghuai, you bastard, your wife is about to become someone else's, and you still don't come. It turns out that men are unreliable.
Prince Su's Mansion.
In the dungeon, Chu Jinghuai sat with a gloomy face. The woman opposite him was tied to a wooden frame, her body already covered with scars.
"Tell me, where did you take my princess?"
The woman snorted coldly, "I didn't expect that the ruthless Prince Su would be so concerned about the princess. Why don't you ask the Queen?"
Chu Jinghuai had a smile on his face, but his whole body exuded a terrifying and cruel aura.
"Are you trying to tell me that you belong to the Queen?"
"Your Highness, isn't this asking unnecessary questions? Apart from being the Empress's, who else could this servant belong to?"
"Really? Not my second brother?"
Hearing this, the woman was momentarily choked. "I entered the palace when I was ten years old and have always been in the Empress's palace. I only came to serve the princess recently. How could I possibly be the Prince of Jin's woman?"
"That's right. How could such a stupid person be the Second Emperor's man?"
"This servant does not understand what the prince means."
"You don't need to understand." Chu Jinghuai stood up and said to Ji Yunzhou, "Kill him."
The woman suddenly felt cold all over and shouted, "Prince Su, don't you want to know the whereabouts of Princess Su?"
Chu Jinghuai ignored her shouting and walked straight out of the dungeon.
Ji Yunzhou, who was following behind, asked in confusion, "Jing Huai, aren't you going to interrogate her again? In two days, I will pry everything out of her mouth."
"No, I don't have the time. What she said is useless."
"Jing Huai, are they kidnapping your princess this time to turn you against the queen?"
Chu Jinghuai shook his head.
"Your Highness, there is news about the princess." Ling Ying ran over hurriedly.
Chu Jinghuai said sternly, "Speak."
"In Liuhe County."
…
“Crackle, crackle…”
Chen Jingxi was wearing a wedding dress, and the women in the room gathered around her, praising her in unison.
She just smiled in response.
At this time, a little girl squeezed to the front. She opened her big eyes and looked at Chen Jingxi curiously.
"Sister, you are so beautiful, the most beautiful person I have ever seen"
After hearing this, Chen Jingxi patted her head and said softly, "You've only met a few people, and you already know that I'm the best looking."
"I've met a lot of people. Last time my dad took me to the county, there were so many people there."
Chen Jingxi smiled and said, "Then how did you get there last time?"
"Take a bullock cart! You're so stupid, you don't even know that."
"How long did you sit there?"
The little girl thought for a moment and was about to answer when she was stopped by the woman next to her.
The woman glared at the little girl, then laughed and said, "This child is young and naive. How could she know about places like the county town? Her father just tricked her into thinking it was the county town."
"Mom, I'm not kidding. Last time, it was Daddy, my brother, and us..."
"Okay, the wedding candies outside will be eaten by Erniu and the others soon, why don't you go quickly?"
After hearing this, the little girl ran out in a hurry.
Chen Jingxi smiled and said nothing more.
By today, her physical strength had fully recovered. She knew that this village called Waishi Village had about a hundred people and was surrounded by mountains. There was only one road out of the village. Some of the wives in the village were bought, so they would naturally not let her run away easily.
"The auspicious time has arrived, the newlyweds are getting married!"
In the festive main room, red candles flickered, noises rose and fell, and many eyes kept wandering over Chen Jingxi.
Shi Dalang, who was sitting opposite her, had an obscene smile on his face, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Bride, bride." Many children shouted.
"Bow to your parents twice!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
Chen Jingxi looked at Shi Dalang who turned to face her, and suddenly pulled the red silk rope hard, and Shi Dalang fell towards her.
Chen Jingxi reached out and grabbed Shi Dalang, then pulled out a silver hairpin from her bun and put it against Shi Dalang's neck without hesitation, her eyes cold and resolute.
