It was a carriage decoration they had never seen before. Even from a distance, they could sense its extraordinary grandeur.
The Lu family members were stunned, and at that moment they forgot to discuss how to go over and freeload a meal.
The carriage was moving very fast, and when it saw the crowd, the carriage in front stopped for a moment.
Since the first carriage stopped, the others naturally stopped as well.
A fat body jumped hurriedly from the carriage at the back.
That was their Magistrate Zhu. Lu Xiaonan recognized him at first glance. Why was Magistrate Zhu here too?
He had heard that Han Luoxue was related to Magistrate Zhu, but when he actually saw her, Lu Xiaonan's heart still skipped a beat.
They just went to Han Luoxue's place, tried to freeload, and were kicked out. Now that Magistrate Zhu is here, could it be that Han Luoxue has reported them to the authorities?
Could it be that Magistrate Zhu came to arrest him? That's unlikely. They didn't see anyone leave the village. Even if they did report it to the authorities, Magistrate Zhu wouldn't act too quickly.
"My lord, this humble citizen..."
Lu Xiaonan wanted to beg for mercy, but found that Magistrate Zhu completely ignored him. He went directly to the front of the most prestigious carriage, and lowered his voice, his face full of flattery:
"Your Highness, the village entrance is just ahead; we'll be there soon."
At this moment, the Lu family members were standing to the side, less than ten steps away. They also heard the address of Magistrate Zhu and were all shocked, unconsciously taking a few steps back.
Those sitting on the ground scrambled back several steps, nearly wetting their pants in their panic.
These ordinary villagers, let alone the Crown Prince, would tremble with fear at the sight of Magistrate Zhu.
Mother Lu was also stunned. She gripped her son tightly, her lips trembling, "We just went over and ate some steamed buns, what happened to the Crown Prince..."
If they had known Han Luoxue was so capable, they would never have dared to come over.
"Mother, don't worry, they may not be here to see us."
Lu Xiaonan is the smartest one, but unfortunately he doesn't focus his mind on important matters.
"If they really came looking for us, they would have come over and arrested them as soon as they saw the soldiers behind us."
Everyone thought it made sense, and they quickly perked up their ears to listen to what Magistrate Zhu had to say.
"What's going on with these people?"
The Crown Prince's displeased voice came from inside the carriage.
"I don't know for the time being. Your Highness, please wait a moment, I will go and inquire about it immediately."
If the Crown Prince weren't here, Magistrate Zhu wouldn't care at all, or he would simply have his men drive the people away.
But with the Crown Prince present, he dared not act rashly. Magistrate Zhu wanted the Crown Prince to know that he was diligent and approachable, hoping that perhaps the Crown Prince would promote him someday.
Magistrate Zhu's request was not high; if the Crown Prince had just mentioned it, it would have been an immense favor to him.
In the past, at this time, someone below would definitely inquire about such matters. But today, Magistrate Zhu went in person, and his obese body was already panting after just a few steps.
"What are you doing here? Are you from Hutouya Village?"
Although Magistrate Zhu wasn't particularly involved in official matters, he had still inquired about the things he needed to know. It was quite normal for someone to be waiting at the village entrance at this time for an ordinary wedding. After all, was it necessary for someone to be there to wait for the bride to arrive?
But this couple is different. They're from the same village and neighbors; you could even say they're childhood sweethearts.
Such marriages typically don't require leaving the village, since the couple already belong to the same village.
Moreover, judging from their expressions, they didn't seem to be there to attend a happy occasion.
"Your Excellency, I've come to attend the wedding banquet."
Lu Xiaonan was still a little worried, but when he heard the adults asking, he could only bite the bullet and speak.
"Attending a wedding banquet? Why don't you come into the village?"
"this……"
Lu Xiaonan was still thinking of a more tactful way to say it when an old woman behind him complained, "What's the point of eating? We've been kicked out. This is the first time I've ever seen such petty people. We came all this way to celebrate their wedding, and after only eating a few steamed buns, they actually kicked us out. What kind of relatives are they? How can they be so stingy?"
"Meat, I want to eat meat."
Just then, a gentle breeze blew in, carrying with it a rich aroma of meat, even stronger than before. They had never tasted meat that smelled so good.
That's true. Generally, the methods for cooking meat in villages are all pretty much the same.
But Han Luoxue is different. She has a space and planted a lot of spices recently. She planted all kinds of spices that she could buy in her space, and now she has almost a complete collection of spices.
The spices used in this pork are mostly ones that most people have never seen before.
When Han Luoxue handed out the food to everyone, the cooks were still complaining, saying that meat tastes best when cooked using the simplest methods. They had decades of experience, after all.
But Han Luoxue insisted. Who would have thought that after cooking for a short while, the aroma would become so pungent?
The little ones surrounding them were all swallowing hard, their saliva gurgling.
"Who are you to Han Luoxue?"
Upon hearing that the lady said she was a relative, Magistrate Zhu frowned deeply. She hadn't expected Han Luoxue to be so heartless; such a thing shouldn't have happened on such a joyous occasion.
From their previous interactions, she felt that Han Luoxue was a very magnanimous person. She was intelligent and decisive in her actions, never dragging things out. Moreover, she was very generous and not petty.
"This is her second aunt."
When Madam Lu saw that Magistrate Zhu was not angry at all, but instead asked her a question, she excitedly pointed to Han Jinghua.
"In that case, please wait a moment."
Young people sometimes act without considering the consequences. Now that His Highness the Crown Prince is still alive, Magistrate Zhu has decided to help Han Luoxue.
After saying that, he turned around and jogged back to the carriage.
"Your Highness, I have just found out that they are all here to attend Miss Han Luoxue's wedding."
"However, I don't know what misunderstanding happened, but Han Luoxue kicked him out."
"Oh? You were kicked out of your wedding?"
Before the crown prince could speak, the curtain of the carriage behind him was lifted, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.
Lu Xiaonan was already craning his neck to look in this direction when he accidentally caught sight of the woman in the carriage. He was so shocked that his eyes widened, and he stared straight at Mengyao.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a beautiful and noble woman.
Her appearance is even more outstanding than Han Luoxue's.
Besides him, the men behind him were also staring wide-eyed.
Mengyao didn't care, her voice still soft and gentle: "That's Han Luoxue's fault. You all came to bless her with good intentions, how could she kick people out? A country woman is a country woman, too short-sighted, and doesn't think things through."
"Yes, my lovely lady, we meant well. We even brought our best gifts as a congratulatory present."
