Chapter 47 The prince killed him!
Han Ruixuan was overjoyed.
"Don't mention just one thing, even if it's a hundred things, I'll agree to them all."
Qiao Zhenzhen told him that she had always wanted to be the legal wife, but now that she could no longer be the legal wife, she still wanted to have a proper wedding.
"Don't frown yet. I don't want to get married in the Marquis's mansion. I have a small courtyard. I can dress up and get married there and have the wedding ceremony and the bridal chamber there."
What’s the difference between this and playing house?
Han Ruixuan responded without hesitation: "No problem."
"We also need to choose an auspicious day."
As Qiao Zhenzhen spoke, she had a calendar brought over. She flipped through it for a moment, pointed to a date, and said, "This day is the most suitable."
Han Ruixuan took a quick look and found that it was the 26th, the day of the wedding banquet in the mansion.
"Let's change it. My second brother is getting married that day, and I can't spare the time."
"Your second brother is getting married, not you, so why can't you get away?" Qiao Zhenzhen said with a smirk, "You can enjoy the wedding banquet first, and then come to my place. It won't delay you."
Han Ruixuan thought about it and realized that there was a wedding banquet in front and a bridal chamber in the back. The two rooms together were like he was getting married.
I couldn't help but feel distracted and my imagination was running wild.
"Okay, whatever you say."
Qiao Zhenzhen added, "You should keep your affairs to yourself. Don't mention it to anyone else, not even your personal servants. If the news gets to Madam, I won't have a good life in the mansion anytime soon."
"You are only allowed to come here quietly, alone. You are not allowed to bring anyone with you. Do you understand?"
Han Ruixuan teased: "You make this prince look like a thief."
"If you can't do it, then forget it." Qiao Zhenzhen said with a straight face.
Han Ruixuan thought that even if he didn't bring anyone with him, there were secret guards following him, so he didn't have to worry about any accidents. Being sneaky had its own unique flavor, just like stealing someone else's bride.
So he agreed.
"Okay, I promise to keep it a secret!"
Only then did Qiao Zhenzhen smile and tell him the location of her yard.
"I will prepare everything myself. The auspicious time is 1:00 p.m., so please remember to come before then. If you are late, the courtyard will be deserted."
The call of "Master" made Han Ruixuan feel comfortable all over.
My legs were weak when I walked out of Fanlou.
On the 26th, after his second brother had welcomed his bride and paid his respects in the hall, he and the guests drank several rounds of wine. As the hour of Xu was approaching, he pretended to be drunk and asked the servants to help him out of the banquet hall.
After leaving the banquet hall, he hurried to the stable, selected a good horse, mounted it, whipped the horse and galloped towards the courtyard that Qiao Zhenzhen mentioned.
When I got there, I saw two red lanterns hanging at the gate of the yard, and a red double happiness pattern pasted on the cage, which made the decoration look very decent.
He also wore a red suit tonight. Although it was not a groom's suit, it was almost the same.
After tying the horse at the door, he stood in front of the door, straightened his messy clothes, and then raised his hand to knock on the door.
A plump maid opened the door for him.
"The prince is finally here. Our young lady has been waiting for you to come to the wedding hall for a long time, but you didn't show up. She just drove the master of ceremonies and the musicians away and went back to her room in anger."
Han Ruixuan made a "tsk" sound.
He has a really bad temper.
He was only half a quarter of an hour late, and you can't wait?
Looks like I need to coax her a little bit.
He followed the maid to the door of the bridal chamber, and when he pushed it open he saw a figure in plain clothes sitting on the bunk bed facing him, holding the wedding dress in her left hand and scissors in her right hand, cutting the dress into pieces.
She was so angry that she even cut up her wedding dress.
He was very amused.
"Be careful not to hurt your hands."
He said as he walked towards the person.
Suddenly the other person turned around, revealing an unexpected face.
He was so frightened that he retreated three feet.
"Delphinium? How come you... No, no, you're not Delphinium."
He almost thought he saw the ghost of Delphinium. After staring at it for a few seconds, he found that this person's figure was more delicate than Delphinium and the shape of his face was also quite different.
But she doesn't look like Qiao Zhenzhen either.
"Who are you?" he shouted. "Why are you playing tricks on me?"
Then he asked, "Where is Qiao Zhenzhen? Where is she?"
Feng Qingsui did not answer. After Wuhua dealt with Han Ruixuan's secret guards and entered the room to capture and tie up Han Ruixuan, he asked:
"Did you kill Minister Jiang's daughter yourself, or did the Crown Prince do it?"
Minister Jiang’s daughter?
Han Ruixuan was stunned for a moment before reacting, and his face suddenly changed.
"She drowned herself. What does it have to do with me and the prince?"
"Oh."
Feng Qingsui dragged him to the window, tied him to a bench, sealed his mouth, covered his face with a cloth, picked up the kettle, and poured water into his nose.
Han Ruixuan had seen others being waterboarded, but had never experienced it himself. This was the first time he realized that waterboarding could make a life worse than death.
He was suffocated every moment, his mind filled with the fear of drowning. The feeling of not being able to breathe and vomit made him feel extremely painful.
As soon as Feng Qingsui stopped watering and removed the wet cloth sealing the plant, he confessed.
"The prince killed him!"
Then, without waiting for Feng Qingsui to ask, he began, "On the night of the old lady's sixtieth birthday, the Crown Prince drank too much and went to the guest house to rest. Minister Jiang's daughter somehow ended up there and was mistakenly killed by the guards, thinking she was an assassin."
"Yeah?"
Feng Qingsui said lightly.
"What about the bones at the bottom of Moon Lake?"
Han Ruixuan's pupils trembled.
This person actually even knew about those corpses? !
His mind raced as he tried to make up a convincing lie, but perhaps because he had drunk too much or had just choked on water, he couldn't think of a single lie and had no choice but to tell the truth.
"The prince is a good child. In the past few years, he has been secretly kidnapping and abducting children, hiding them in the guest house of our mansion, and torturing them for fun."
"On the day of the birthday banquet, he had a feast and then went to the guest house to have some fun. He happened to run into Minister Jiang's daughter. Then... Minister Jiang and his wife went looking for their daughter. I realized something was wrong. The child was already dead, so I had to lie and say she drowned."
Feng Qingsui had guessed the truth a long time ago, but when he heard Han Ruixuan say it, he was still heartbroken.
Xiao Yu was so small, so small, she thought that the opposite of day was night, and the opposite of adult was little people. Xiao Yu, who had never seen the mountains or the sea, said that when she grew up she wanted to travel around the world like her, visit all the mountains and rivers, and eat all the delicacies in the world... She died at the hands of two beasts.
A death so insignificant, so insignificant, so unworthy of mention.
Han Ruixuan saw that she looked like she wanted to kill him as soon as possible, and was afraid that he would lose his life here, so he hurriedly said:
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. The man was brutally murdered by the prince, so go seek revenge on him."
Feng Qingsui really wanted to kill him on the spot, but thinking of the subsequent arrangements, he forced himself to be patient.
"The prince killed the child, but what about the others? The entire Jiang family is wiped out!"
She looked at Han Ruixuan coldly.
