"I hate it so much..."
This voice echoed continuously in the space of consciousness.
Calm, yet tinged with a chilling despair.
It should be from the remnants of the original owner's consciousness.
Influenced by her consciousness, Ning Xi'er was no longer able to remain invisible.
With the wedding procession imminent, there's no time to run away.
Feeling the boy's intense heat emanating from him, Ning Xu raised his voice, "Little sister, the wedding procession should be arriving soon. Shall I escort you home?"
Thinking of the tragic experiences of the original owner's two older brothers in their previous life...
Ning Xi'er sighed inwardly. Since she couldn't leave, she would fight hard for the original owner!
Let its influence dissipate, so it no longer affects Ning Xi'er's consciousness...
When her spatial abilities are fully utilized, her invisibility is stable, and she carries a massive amount of supplies, she can go wherever she wants to live a carefree life!
Ning Xu helped Ning Xi'er onto her horse, and they rode together back to the Marquis's residence.
The wedding procession is about to arrive; across the street, you can already hear the joyous sounds of gongs and drums.
The atmosphere inside the Marquis's residence was in stark contrast to that outside.
In Ning Xi'er's courtyard, two maids, Haitang and Baizhi, were kneeling in the center, while two old women were torturing them.
"Tell me! Where did the young lady go?!"
It was Marquis Ning Wei who spoke.
The cold glint in his eyes seemed to want to pierce through the crabapple and angelica!
Standing to the side was Madam Chen, the concubine of the Marquis's household. She had a serious expression on her face, as if she was extremely worried about the original owner of this body.
Standing on either side were the Marquis's other two concubines and his children.
The marriage was personally decreed by the emperor, and the bride was none other than Prince Cheng...
If Ning Xi'er really runs away from the marriage, the entire Marquis's mansion will be implicated.
However, the people present had different thoughts.
The Marquis, Madam Chen, and their two concubines were genuinely worried that if word got out and the eldest daughter couldn't be found, the Marquis's mansion would be doomed...
The servants failed to guard the mansion properly, and had no idea when or how the young lady left. Even before the Emperor could punish them, the Marquis and his wife would be the first to not let them off the hook!
The other young masters and ladies in the manor, while also worried, mostly watched the spectacle with amusement!
Let's see how Ning Xi'er cleans up this huge mess she's made!
"stop!"
Ning Xi'er pushed through the crowd, stopped the old women from slapping her with wooden boards, and helped Haitang and Baizhi up.
"Miss!"
Haitang exclaimed in surprise, not daring to look up at the Marquis and Madam Chen.
Bai Zhi stood silently beside Ning Xi'er.
Ning Wei's pupils constricted slightly. He took a few steps forward, his voice several decibels higher than usual, fueled by anger, "Where have you been?!"
"Do you even know that today is your wedding day?! The wedding procession is almost at the gate, and you ran out without even saying goodbye. Did you even think about how we're going to smooth things over?!"
Because Ning Xi'er's stunning appearance was of great use to Ning Wei, even though his stepmother was bedridden with a long illness, Ning Wei was still relatively gentle and caring towards the original owner, even if only on the surface.
At that moment, his angry outburst caught the children watching on both sides slightly off guard.
After a brief moment of surprise, their faces revealed expressions of schadenfreude.
At this moment, Madam Chen suddenly spoke up, "Xi'er, you child, if you need to go out, you should just tell the family!"
"Otherwise, your father would be so worried!"
Ning Xi'er twitched the corners of her mouth, but because she kept her head down, Madam Chen couldn't see the cold smile on her face.
"Mother, my sister must have something on her mind, so she just went out for a walk. Please don't blame her!"
The one who spoke was Ning Qian, the eldest daughter of Madam Chen and a tea master.
She's being sarcastic; Ning Xi'er is unhappy with the emperor's arranged marriage and doesn't want to marry Prince Cheng, which is why she threw a tantrum and went out on her own...
If this gets out, whether it reaches the palace or the Prince Cheng's residence, Ning Xi'er will not have a good ending...
Ning Xier looked up and gave a cold glance, her attitude even more ruthless than usual, which surprised Ning Qian.
Before Ning Xi'er could speak, a deep, stern voice rang out from behind the Marquis and Madam Chen.
"Shut up!"
Ning Wei and Madam Chen turned around at the same time, and the young masters, young ladies, and servants on both sides all looked over.
Ning Xu walked up to Ning Wei, gave a perfunctory bow, glanced at Madam Chen, and then walked to Ning Xi'er's side.
He gave Ning Qian a warning look.
Ning Xu used to ignore his half-brothers and half-sisters when he was still in the manor, and they kept to themselves. Now that they dare to bully his sister, don't blame him for being impolite!
