Chapter 332 Preparing to Break Up the Wedding
It turns out that this woman was the wife of a fourth-rank official from the Northern Di Kingdom.
This official's surname was Li. He came from a farming family and entered the government through the imperial examinations.
He has a childhood sweetheart named Cai.
This woman was surnamed Cai.
Lady Cai lived in Lord Li's old residence, and many people did not know that he had such a wife.
Some time ago, he caught the eye of Prince Rong, who wanted to marry his goddaughter to him.
In order to climb the social ladder, Lord Li concealed the fact that he was already married.
Unfortunately, Lady Cai noticed that her husband hadn't returned for several years, so she came to Yangcheng to look for him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, she saw her husband carrying box after box of betrothal gifts, preparing to go for the engagement.
She was heartbroken and had a huge argument with Lord Li.
Later, Lord Li tricked her, saying that the marriage with the Prince Rong's family was off, and that he would live a good life with her from now on. He told her to go back to her old house in the countryside, pack up her things there, and then she could stay in Yangcheng with him later.
Who knew that on her way back, she was brought to this inn by Lord Li's servant, who said that Lord Li had sold her to him.
Ms. Cai was both shocked and furious, never expecting that the man she used to share a bed with could be so heartless.
He sold her so he could marry a rich girl.
As she spoke, she lowered her head and began to cry.
She lived alone in the old house, serving Lord Li's grandparents and in-laws. She was only in her twenties, but she looked like she was in her thirties. In the end, this was her fate.
Han Yan'er and Du Wanchun were deeply saddened by her words. They had seen people who started relationships and then abandoned them, but this was the first time they had ever seen someone sell their own wife.
This shows how heartless Lord Li is.
It seems that Lord Li and Prince Rong are birds of a feather.
Du Wanchun settled Cai down and said that they were merchants passing through the area and happened to be going to Yangcheng, so they could take her back with them.
Lady Cai hated Lord Li so much that she wanted to tear his mouth apart as soon as possible.
It's quite a coincidence that Zhou Feng is currently being held captive in Lord Li's mansion.
The Li family is busy preparing for the wedding, and no one expected that Lord Li would collude with Prince Rong to kidnap people.
The next morning, Du Wanchun continued on her journey with Cai Shi.
Inside the carriage, when Cai heard that they were from Xuan Yue Kingdom, she suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "I found a man from Xuan Yue Kingdom in the backyard of that stinky man's mansion. His accent is very similar to yours."
Upon hearing this, Han Yan'er tensed up, "What kind of man? Does he look like this?"
As she spoke, she took out a portrait of Zhou Feng.
After looking at it, Madam Cai nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, it's him."
“A few days ago, because I was unfamiliar with the mansion, I accidentally walked into the woodshed in the backyard. Next to the woodshed was a small hut with a lock on the door. I was curious about what was locked inside, so I peeked through the crack in the door and saw a man.”
"He asked me who I was. I was about to speak when I heard someone coming over, so I had to leave first."
Han Yan'er became excited and pulled Du Wanchun, saying, "It's Zhou Feng, it must be him."
Du Wanchun comforted her, saying, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, let's wait until we get to Yangcheng to take a look."
Han Yan'er suppressed her excitement and nodded.
Du Wanchun pulled back the carriage curtain and whispered the matter to Wei Xun, who was riding a horse beside her.
Wei Xun focused his mind and urged the driver to hurry on their way.
When they arrived at the Li family residence in Yangcheng, the Li family was celebrating a wedding.
Madam Cai pulled back the carriage curtain and looked towards the door. When she saw the glaring red silk, her heart felt as if it were being torn apart.
She was so angry she wanted to rush down.
Du Wanchun stopped her and said, "Madam, don't be in such a hurry. If you go now, he will only kick you out."
She lowered her voice and said, "Why don't you come in with us?"
After hearing this, Cai nodded.
The letter Du Wanchun received earlier only told them to bring gold and wait outside Yangcheng.
She wouldn't listen; she was determined to come to the Li residence.
When Lord Li heard that a group of guests from Xuan Yue Kingdom had arrived at the gate, he was initially surprised, but in order not to delay Prince Rong's important matter, he sent someone to bring them all in.
Watching them pull wagons laden with boxes, he guessed that they might contain gold.
They planned to seize their gold directly from the mansion.
After Du Wanchun and the others entered the mansion, Cai got off the carriage and secretly mingled among the guests, hoping to catch Lord Li off guard.
At this moment, Lord Li and Prince Rong's adopted daughter were holding their wedding ceremony in the front room.
The two, dressed in red wedding gowns and red robes, were waiting to exchange vows as husband and wife.
