She was filled with despair: Lu Xuechen, you bastard, you haven't found me yet!
In your heart, are family and national affairs more important than me... Do you not care at all that I want to marry someone else?
Fan Qingchen is almost going crazy...If she refuses again, things will get out of control. However, if she doesn't refuse, living with this lunatic for the rest of her life will be worse than death!
…
That night, Fan Qingchen's men guarded the doors and windows closely. Every time Luo Lingyu went to the door, she made countless excuses, but the people outside would not let her go out. Even if she wanted to urinate, the people outside would rather bring her a night pot than let her go out.
The old women and maids swarmed in, dressed her up, put makeup on her, and forced her to wear a new red wedding dress.
Ignoring Luo Lingyu's objections, he forcibly stuffed the round fan into Luo Lingyu's hands - but the fan covered her face, with tassels and fragrance.
The bride's heart, being manipulated by them, became heavier and heavier.
All kinds of maids and servants were coming and going. If this continued, there would be no chance for her to escape. Luo Lingyu was in great torment. She had to endure the torment until she saw Fan Qingchen again. Before dawn, he had already appeared at the door, clean and bright, wearing the clothes of a newlywed. He was so handsome that all the men and women in the room were amazed.
He walked into the room and held the delicate hand of the girl who was being escorted by the maids to sit at the desk.
Under the tassels, the girl was as beautiful as a flower. When he pulled her up, her agility and stunning beauty made him stare at her. She lowered her head and said nothing, but he was very happy in his heart. Fan Qingchen leaned over, sniffed her neck, and smiled: "Sister is mine..."
In an instant, tears rolled down Luo Lingyu's eyes.
She could no longer bear it, and taking advantage of the crowd, she pushed Fan Qingchen away and shouted: "You force me to marry you, you force me to marry you, and you want me to elope with you. But you are dreaming! I swear to death that I will never let you succeed and marry a person like you who has a human face but a beast's heart!"
For a moment, Fan Qingchen was stunned, and then his face suddenly sank.
Luo Lingyu lowered her head and bit his wrist. He let go in pain, and she turned and ran into the crowd. The people watching the excitement were stunned by the message in Luo Lingyu's words, and looked at the handsome man in the house who was abandoned by the bride in shock. The girl in her wedding clothes ran into the crowd, holding up her skirt and trying desperately to escape. She cried like pearls, and she asked for help from the stranger who blocked her, telling him about Fan Qingchen's malice.
Fan Qingchen followed behind him with big strides, his face as cold as ice: "Luo Lingyu——"
"Bang——" Suddenly, a huge explosion-like sound came from the direction of the city gate. The whole earth shook and the expressions of the people watching the ceremony changed drastically.
The ground shook and the explosions continued with great force. The spectators were horrified and confused. They screamed and fled in all directions. Everyone was shouting in shock—
"The northerners are coming! They must be the northerners!"
"Run, everyone run!"
The crowd of onlookers scattered like birds and beasts, and the girl in the cumbersome wedding dress was caught in the crowd, staggering in embarrassment. In the chaos, a few sharp arrows suddenly shot from the sky...Fan Qingchen jumped over, hugged the swaying Luo Lingyu into his arms, pulled her to the ground, and dodged the arrows shot into the courtyard.
The sound of galloping horses could be heard outside. The vanguard of the Northern Army had already climbed up the city wall using ropes, and entered the city in a swagger, killing people at will!
And far away, the city gate was still being banged violently.
At the small wedding scene, Fan Qingchen hugged the girl tightly. He led her to dodge, so that she would not be stepped on by the people who were running away in panic, but he himself was stepped on several times by passers-by and groaned. Luo Lingyu struggled to get up, but was pressed heavily in Fan Qingchen's arms.
He was angry with her before, but now, lying on the ground, his wide sleeves covered her face, not letting anyone see her. The girl's long hair was scattered between his arms. For a moment, Fan Qingchen felt dazed, with a sense of absurdity that "this moment will never come back".
It seemed like he only had this moment.
When two servants came in to help the young master up, Fan Qingchen's eyes were cold and he held Luo Lingyu's hand. Fan Qingchen's face was grim: "Ruyang might be in trouble... We have to find a way to leave the city."
Lowering his eyes and glancing at Luo Lingyu's pale face, Fan Qingchen said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm not angry at you for wanting to escape the marriage... Stop making trouble now and come with me, okay?"
Chapter 102
Ruyang is in chaos right now.
The two countries were clearly negotiating, but it was like a joke. Lu Saburo had already sent letters to the surrounding counties to warn them against the Northern Kingdom breaking the treaty. In the Nanyang area, the Southern Kingdom’s army broke the treaty first. In Ruyang, it was the Northern Kingdom’s army that broke the treaty first. A huge earthquake was like thunder, and the Northern Kingdom’s iron hooves rushed to the city, trying to attack the city.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The soldiers hugged the wooden stake and rammed it against the gate of Ruyang again and again. Arrows rained down from the city wall, and the vanguard soldiers of the Northern Kingdom climbed up against the rain of arrows with ropes attached to the city wall. Once the vanguard soldiers of the Northern Kingdom entered the city, the city was full of either soldiers or helpless civilians. The soldiers did not blink an eye and began to kill.
At that moment, the terrified people cried and screamed, and rushed to the south city gate, banging on the door, demanding to leave Ruyang and flee!
Fan Qingchen dragged Luo Lingyu and ran through the city. Fan Silang's two attendants protected them and cleared the way for them. At this time, the streets were on fire and enemies were seen coming with knives. The soldiers rushed to the front line and there was no one to manage the order in the city. Fan Qingchen and Luo Lingyu ran among the people. Luo Lingyu didn't want to part ways with Fan Silang at this time. With her beauty, it would be much safer to be with Fan Qingchen at this time.
"My dear, help me! My dear, help me! My child is missing..." They met a crying young woman on the road, who pulled the two men and begged for mercy.
"Girl, girl! Take me away, take me away! My husband is gone, there is no one at home, let me follow you and work like a slave!" The young woman begged desperately. Seeing that the man and the girl were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the girl's wedding dress was even more glorious, she immediately recognized that the two were from the upper class. The young woman went to ask for help when she didn't know what to do...
