The previously arrogant Marquis' wife had been tormented by Pei Yunchu for three years. Now, she had lost her former noble composure, dignity and grace.
Listening to the curses coming out of her mouth, it is really worse than that of a shrew in the market.
It was obvious that such obscene language was what she, the mistress of a noble family, once despised the most and considered unbecoming.
Now, he has become like this, which really makes Liu Zhiyi sigh.
…
The day before the wedding, Chen Ningzhu came to the prime minister's residence to find Liu Zhiyi. As soon as she came in, she asked all the maids to leave, leaving only herself and Liu Zhiyi.
Liu Zhiyi's face was full of doubts, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed:
"Why are you so cautious?"
Shen Ningzhu did not answer immediately, but stared at Liu Zhiyi deeply, her eyes seemed to contain thousands of words.
After hesitating for a moment, she bit her lip lightly.
He slowly reached into his sleeve, carefully took out something, and opened his palm.
It is a crystal clear jade pendant.
Just one glance and Liu Zhiyi stood up suddenly as if struck by lightning.
His eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet, staring at the jade pendant, unable to move away even a little.
Time passed minute by minute, and after a long time, Liu Zhiyi blinked mechanically, like a puppet without a soul, and slowly turned towards Chen Ningzhu stiffly.
Seeing Shen Ningzhu's expression, he nodded solemnly.
In an instant, my heart was in turmoil.
"We were all deceived by that bastard Jiang Xuanyan!" Shen Ningzhu said helplessly, holding her forehead.
"The one he gave me before was a fake. This one is my family's heirloom jade pendant. And I think, nine out of ten times, it can lead us back to our original world."
Shen Ningzhu lowered her voice and moved closer to Liu Zhiyi and said.
After hearing these words, the calm expression on Liu Zhiyi's face could no longer be maintained, and instantly became extremely complicated.
It has been nearly four years since I came to this strange dynasty. The initial reluctance has gradually dissipated with the passage of time.
Gradually, she has accepted the reality that she cannot return to the modern world and can only live on this land.
Tomorrow is her and Song Hanchuan’s wedding day.
At this critical moment, someone suddenly told her that she still had a chance to return to modern society?
This sudden change put her in a dilemma, and she didn't know what to choose.
On one side is the new life that is about to begin, and on the other side is the modern society that he has longed for. Liu Zhiyi feels as if his heart is torn in two.
It's empty, with wind blowing in from both sides, and it's very uncomfortable.
"Xiaoyi, what do you think?"
Liu Zhiyi's voice was hoarse, her throat choking and choking. She knew her best friend hated this patriarchal society, was angry at Jiang Xuanyan's tyranny, and blamed him for his plunder.
If I could go back, I would definitely want to leave.
But she... she couldn't bear to leave Song Hanchuan, nor could she let go of her best friend who had supported each other and shared life and death for so many years.
"I……"
Shen Ningzhu took her hand and said with a smile,
"Don't panic. Don't worry, no matter what you choose, I will support you. The reason I rushed here today is because I feel you have the right to know about this matter."
"Think about the matter of marriage tonight. I'm going back first."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
As soon as I went out, my view was blocked by a figure. I looked up and found Song Hanchuan standing at the door for an unknown period of time.
Shen Ningzhu opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing and strode away.
Inside the room, Liu Zhiyi sat there in a daze, her body frozen in place. Song Hanchuan didn't go in to disturb her, but stood at the door, his eyes deeply and tenderly tracing her back.
The next day, the dawn broke.
As soon as the sky turned pale, Liu Zhiyi was pulled out of bed.
The maids and old women were busy in an orderly manner, some doing their makeup, some dressing.
Flowers made of red silk were tied on the two stone lions at the entrance of the prime minister's residence and on the plaque with large gold-plated characters at the entrance.
Six big red lanterns were hung under the eaves, making the surroundings as bright as day.
Inside the mansion, red silk hung down from the eaves like flames, flowing like long snakes, dancing in the wind.
The morning light filtered through the carved wooden windows into every corner of the bridal chamber, shining onto Liu Zhiyi's profile and casting a golden halo around her.
In the morning light, you can clearly see the fine hairs on her fair face.
Liu Zhiyi sat in front of a half-human-high bronze mirror, wearing a phoenix crown and bridal robe that had been carefully embroidered by hundreds of famous embroiderers using precious brocade over several years.
Her three thousand strands of black hair were tied into an intricate bun, which was studded with all kinds of gems and pearls. It swayed slightly with her movements, sparkling with dazzling light.
Lightly touch up the lips and put on light makeup on the cheeks.
A pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes look around with radiance, showing both the clarity and shyness of a young girl and the dignity and composure of a new wife.
This was the scene that Chen Ningzhu saw when she came over, and she knew that she had made her choice.
While I feel lost, I am also happy for her. I am happy that she has met her true love. Even if she leaves, she will have someone to accompany and rely on in the future.
"Xiaoyi, congratulations."
Liu Zhiyi's lips curled up in joy and he hugged her.
The servants retreated tactfully, and Liu Zhiyi said,
"Zhuzhu, will you blame me?"
Shen Ningzhu rolled her eyes speechlessly, gave her a heavy blow on the head, and said angrily,
"What nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?"
All good things must come to an end. As long as we keep each other in our hearts, that is enough.
"So when are you leaving?"
"Tonight, I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but you should have been getting married at that time. I'm sorry that I can't witness you getting married in person."
"Can't it be later?"
Liu Zhiyi's eyes were red, her voice was faintly sobbing, and her peach blossom eyes were misty. She grabbed Shen Ningzhu's hand tightly, with such force that it hurt Shen Ningzhu.
Shen Ningzhu shook her head.
"Have you forgotten? When we came through, it was the time of the rare nine-planet alignment. I asked the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, and they said that tonight, the nine-planet alignment will happen."
If you miss it, it’s hard to say whether you can meet it again in your lifetime.
so……
Chen Ningzhu looked at Liu Zhiyi guiltily and spread her hands, indicating that she was helpless.
"What about Jiang Xuanyan? Where's the child?"
Shen Ningzhu paused, blinked, and said lightly,
"The arrow in his chest has been removed. He was unconscious for half a day, but is recovering well now. As for the child...if possible, I'd like to take him with me. If not, forget it. I'll leave him to you. I'll feel more at ease."
Chen Ningzhu said it calmly.
But Liu Zhiyi saw that her hands under her sleeves had already been clenched into fists, and her arms were trembling slightly, obviously she was trying hard to hold back.
"Zhuzhu, you... should think about it again."
