Chapter 187 Assassins, Pirates
It is the bride's boudoir.
There were more than a dozen maids standing there, all of whom were responsible for serving Xia Jingjing today.
Surrounded by admirers, Xia Jingjing wore a heavily embroidered white Swarovski crystal wedding dress with a large skirt and a long train, paired with an expensive diamond jewelry set.
She had necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and everything else she could want, making her look radiant with jewelry.
At this moment, she stood in front of a full-length mirror, touching her slightly protruding belly.
Seeing Xia Yue enter, Xia Jingjing raised her chin high, adopting a victorious posture and looking extremely smug.
Xia Yue didn't understand what Xia Jingjing had to be so proud of.
She was only to be a concubine, and the fourth prince was no good man either.
"Sister, you didn't expect this, did you? In the end, I still beat you."
The Fourth Prince gave me a grand wedding, but after you married Qin Yeting, although you have a marriage certificate, you haven't even had a proper ceremony.
And that necklace you're wearing, the diamonds are so small, less than a third the size of mine.
Such shabby jewelry, if I were you, I definitely wouldn't have the face to wear it in public.
Xia Jingjing finally managed to turn the tables and regain her pride, so she took this opportunity to keep showing off in front of Xia Yue.
She hasn't been online recently, so she didn't know about the trending topics that night.
Xia Yue and Qin Yeting will have a wedding this Qixi Festival, which will be many times grander and more luxurious than Xia Jingjing's hasty wedding.
If Xia Jingjing knew, she wouldn't have used this to mock Xia Yue.
Xia Yue was too lazy to explain.
Xia Jingjing's pregnancy was clearly doomed; this man's triumph wouldn't last long.
"You specifically had someone bring me here just to listen to your nonsense? You're as boring as ever." Xia Yue's tone was indifferent, completely disregarding Xia Jingjing.
But it was precisely this attitude that hurt Xia Jingjing's self-esteem even more.
Back then, Xia Yue was just an unloved young lady who had returned from the countryside.
But now, she is stepping on his head again and again.
His own biological mother, Liu Meilan, was also afraid of the other party and dared not attend the wedding.
Xia Jingjing grew angrier the more she thought about it.
To humiliate Xia Yue, Xia Jingjing treated Xia Yue like a maid, saying, "As a member of the royal family, I order you to go and get me the veil and put it on me."
In country A, nobles are of a lower status than royalty. When they meet, they must bow and obey the orders of royalty.
Xia Yue is now a member of the Feng family, and can be considered a semi-noble in name only, so she needs to pay her respects to Xia Jingjing.
Xia Jingjing's use of her status to pressure her is legal and reasonable in Country A.
If Xia Yue refuses, Xia Jingjing can order the surrounding maids to force Xia Yue to comply.
Under these circumstances, Xia Yue neither refused nor said anything more.
She walked to the table where the veils were placed, picked up the princess crown-shaped veil, and approached Xia Jingjing.
Xia Jingjing thought Xia Yue had given in, and waited proudly for Xia Yue to serve her.
But when Xia Yue walked up to Xia Jingjing, she raised her hand and threw the crown and veil at Xia Jingjing's face!
"ah!"
Xia Jingjing screamed and immediately touched her face, only to find that there was blood on it!
The sharp point of the crown veil scratched her face.
Xia Jingjing never expected that Xia Yue would be so bold.
Enraged, she pointed at Xia Yue and ordered the maid beside her, "Slap her in the face!"
"I am the emperor's personal physician and a guest of the Fourth Prince's residence. Try hitting me!" Xia Yue threatened angrily.
The maids weren't stupid; offending Xia Yue for the sake of a concubine was a losing proposition, so none of them carried out the order.
Xia Jingjing was surprised to find herself completely lacking in authority, and her face turned red and white with anger.
"Xia Jingjing, this is your last warning. Don't cause any more trouble, or next time it won't be your face that gets smashed, it'll be your life."
Xia Yue left those words behind, too lazy to pay any more attention to Xia Jingjing, and walked straight outside.
Xia Jingjing's boasting failed, and she was slapped in the face, causing her to lose her balance.
She felt pain in her face, but her stomach hurt even more.
Oh no... there's a high chance this baby won't survive.
Since that's the case, let's make the most of it.
Xia Yue, who had already left, was unaware that Xia Jingjing had set her sights on her again.
She retraced her steps, and after wandering around for a while, she arrived at the wedding hall.
After finishing his social engagements, Qin Yeting had been looking for Xia Yue for quite a while. Now that he had finally found her, he could finally relax.
"Where did you go just now?" Qin Yeting pressed.
"I was fooled by Xia Jingjing. She tried to intimidate me, but I blew her away," Xia Yue explained loudly.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yeting smiled indulgently.
His little Yue'er is always so outstanding, she can't stand the slightest grievance.
But Xia Jingjing's status is not what it used to be.
He advised in a low voice, "Leave these kinds of things to me from now on, don't get your hands dirty."
"It's nothing, I can handle this little thing myself," Xia Yue replied with a smile.
At this moment, the bustling wedding hall suddenly fell silent.
Xia Yue and Qin Yeting stopped talking and looked towards the door. They saw the Fourth Prince personally leading a middle-aged man into the hall and respectfully arranging him to the seat of honor.
The middle-aged man had a strong presence. Although he was in a wheelchair, his all-black attire made him someone to be reckoned with.
The dozen or so bodyguards following behind made the atmosphere even more tense.
And this person was none other than Mr. Dak, the second-in-command of the black market exchange.
