The next day.
Tangli was so busy that he had no time to rest.
This was her first time being someone's maiden.
Shopkeeper Hua had no family from her mother's side, so she and Cai worked together to arrange everything needed for the marriage.
Cai was older and more knowledgeable, so the two of them discussed things together and it seemed to be working properly.
"Sanbao put on red clothes and step on the wedding bed tomorrow to wish him many children and grandchildren."
"There will be a lot of people tomorrow, so Erbao should take Sanbao with him. Don't let them get separated."
"Wei Qing will do the physical work."
Cai arranged them one by one.
"Sister Cai, what should I do?" Tang Li asked.
"Just follow Shopkeeper Hua and help him with anything he needs," said Cai.
Tang Li held his head high and chest puffed out, looking serious: "I will obey the instructions!"
Cai was amused by her.
Tang Li usually behaves too maturely, which makes her realize that she is just a teenage girl.
"Go to bed early tonight, you have a busy day tomorrow." said Cai.
Tangli nodded.
"I'm going back too. I'll come early tomorrow morning."
"Goodbye, Sister Cai."
The two went back to their homes.
In the room of Shopkeeper Hua.
Shopkeeper Hua was staring at the wedding dress hanging on the wall. It was so beautiful, and she would definitely look even better in it.
The wolf cub is also looking forward to seeing her in her wedding dress, right?
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the window.
Shopkeeper Hua walked to the window and opened the door. When he saw the person outside, the color on his face instantly faded...
…
The next day.
Tangli got up early in the morning.
Wei Qing got up with the two children.
Erbao and Sanbao were also very excited.
Children all like lively things, and they naturally like the lively and exciting things like marriage.
Both dolls were dressed neatly, looking like two beautiful and exquisite New Year picture dolls.
The two kids knew they couldn't help much, so they didn't want to make any more trouble. They just sat quietly on the side, resting their calves and eating melon seeds, in the same posture.
"How is Sister Hua?" Tang Li asked.
"I've put on my wedding dress and am putting on my makeup," Cai said, then looked at Wei Qing, "Wei Qing, come over here and move this table over there."
Wei Qing picked up the table with one hand and placed it in the designated location.
Time passes.
It will soon be time to get married.
"Sister Hua, are you ready?"
"It's ready now, waiting inside."
With the sound of loud gongs and drums, the wedding procession is coming!
Tangli and Cai both walked to the door and waited.
The two children also stretched their heads and looked outside.
The wedding procession was very long. At the front was Cao Ji riding a tall horse, and behind him was a sedan chair carried by eight people.
It is said that clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Or perhaps it is because people are in high spirits when they are happy, Cao Ji, this rough man, actually exudes a sense of handsomeness.
His mouth was wide open, and he was laughing.
From the eight-man sedan chair and the wedding procession, it can be seen how much importance Cao Ji attached to this marriage.
The groom dismounted and, after a series of rituals, finally arrived in front of the bride's room.
Cao Ji knocked on the door happily, but for a long time, he heard no movement from inside.
"Hua'er?" Cao Ji called out, then called the shopkeeper Hua by his nickname, "Xia Xia?"
Tangli and Cai also felt something was wrong.
They had clearly agreed beforehand that Shopkeeper Hua should have opened the door at this time.
Why won’t the door open?
Tang Li and Cai both went up to knock on the door, but there was still no movement from inside.
Cao Ji's face changed, and he felt inexplicably panicked. He slapped the door and opened it immediately.
There was no one in the room!
"Xia Xia!"
"Xia Xia!"
Cao Ji looked everywhere, under the bed, in the cabinets, but he couldn't find anyone!
The wedding dress is laid out on the bed...
Cao Ji's face turned pale.
"Look at this!" Tang Li said suddenly.
She found a letter and picked it up.
Cao Ji was panicked and snatched the letter away, opened it and started reading it quickly.
The handwriting is that of the shopkeeper Hua.
After reading the letter, Cao Ji sat down on the chair, distraught.
What exactly did the letter say?
Why does Cao Ji look like he has suffered a huge blow?
Tang Li quickly took the letter and read its contents.
After reading it, you will understand why Cao Ji was like that.
In the letter, Shopkeeper Hua said that she had been afraid of getting married these past few days. She was just obsessed with Cao Ji and that’s why she was so excited!
When it came to getting married, she got scared, so she ran away!
In short, Shopkeeper Hua didn't want to marry Cao Ji, so he ran away.
Tangli always felt something was wrong.
How is that possible?
Shopkeeper Hua was so happy and full of anticipation the day before, how could he possibly run away from the marriage?
But the letter was written in black and white, very clearly.
Is there some hidden secret?
"Xia Xia..." Cao Ji suddenly jumped up, "Xia Xia, you can't leave me!"
Having said that, he rushed out like a madman and disappeared.
Cai and Tangli were both confused.
"Tangtang, what should we do now?" asked Cai.
"This marriage can't be completed, let's clean up the mess first." Tang Li said.
Cai nodded.
First, they arranged the wedding procession, dismissed the maids who were invited to help, and cleaned up the inn.
"Tangtang, do we need to take down the red silk and these 'Xixi' characters?" Cai asked.
Tangli looked at the red double happiness and red silk, which they had pasted and hung up happily.
It was supposed to be a happy day, but I didn't expect something like this to happen, turning a good thing into a bad one.
Tang Li felt a little reluctant: "Let it go for now."
"Tangtang, what's going on with Manager Hua? Why did he run away from his marriage when the time came?" Cai was very puzzled.
Tang Li said: "I think there is something behind this."
"Tangtang, could it be that something happened to Manager Hua?" Cai asked.
Tang Li thought about what Shopkeeper Hua had done in the past few days, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Originally, Shopkeeper Hua was happy, but it seemed like something was wrong five days ago.
What exactly happened?
Is Shopkeeper Hua okay?
Tangli was full of worry.
"Wife, I'll go look around the city." Wei Qing said.
This man always gives Tangli solutions when she needs them, making her feel safe.
Tang Li looked up at him and nodded.
Wei Qing turned and went out.
Tang Li turned his head and saw two babies, each with a small stool, sitting obediently in the corner, not causing any trouble at all, and were very well-behaved.
Seeing Tangli looking over, Erbao said, "Don't worry, mother. Daddy will definitely find Aunt Hua."
Tangli felt warm in his heart and nodded.
When Wei Qing came back, it was already midnight.
"I met Cao Ji. He brought people to search the entire Qinzhou City, but they couldn't find anyone." Wei Qing said.
Shopkeeper Hua seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Wei Qing thought of how he looked when he saw Cao Ji. He was a high-spirited groom during the day, but like a mad dog with red eyes at night.
This is what happens when you lose the person you love the most.
He looked pitiful.
Wei Qing held his wife in his arms tightly.
