Chapter 248: Happy Events Are Coming
The Cangzhou Governor's Mansion suddenly decided to hold a wedding, and made it a grand event, as if they were afraid that others would not know about it.
In the family of Governor Liu, the eldest and second sons were both married, and the youngest son's desire to become a monk was known throughout the city. The only thing missing was the eldest daughter, but...
However, the kidnapping of the girls last year is still something that people in the city find hard to talk about. Even though all the girls are innocent, it is still somewhat shameful in this world bound by various etiquettes.
After that incident, some of the girls involved attempted suicide, some became nuns, and only a few remained at home, but were also neglected.
After the news of a wedding being planned in the Governor's Mansion came out, Lingxiang just went to sit casually in a teahouse and heard all kinds of gossip. Some said that Miss Liu was a bad person, while others said that Governor Liu's family was just poor and had no good upbringing. There were not many good words, and Lingxiang felt very upset.
After all, the world is controlled by men, and this seems unchangeable at the moment. It would be fine if they didn't understand women's endurance of humiliation, but what Lingxiang couldn't understand was that among those who said these words, there were also many women.
Don't they know the hardships women go through? Why are they always so harsh on other women?
Regardless of whether the abducted women were defiled, even if they were abducted, were they willing to do so?
If you can't even feel the pain, then you open your mouth and make it bloody, does that make you look more noble? A moment of verbal pleasure can force others to lose their lives. What is wrong with this world?
Forget it, we can’t force everyone to be a compassionate Bodhisattva, right?
As long as the saints live, there will be no more thieves!
Even though there were all kinds of rumors flying around in the outside world, the Governor's Mansion seemed to be unaffected and was still busy preparing for the marriage.
It’s not that the Governor’s Mansion didn’t care about these gossips. After hearing them, the Governor’s wife threatened to talk those gossipers out. But after Lingxiang’s persuasion, she was really relieved.
Lingxiang said that a person's life, if calculated by heaven, is only a little over 20,000 days. If one cares about everything, even the saliva of those gossipers can drown a person.
From sunrise to sunset, and from night to night, you can't spend your whole days trying to please others. That would be too tiring. Instead of caring about what others think and what they say, it's better to be more open-minded so that you can live a comfortable life.
As parents, all they want is for their children to live a better life. Now that the family has many children and a carefree life, what is there to worry about? Even Miss Liu's marriage is nothing to worry about. Some things will only come naturally when the time is right.
People outside only knew that a wedding was about to take place in the Governor's Mansion, and it had been widely rumored for a few days, but no one knew why such elaborate arrangements were made in the Governor's Mansion. Could it be that they were going to marry a son-in-law?
As a result, there was another rumor outside that a man from an unknown family was so unlucky that he was favored by the governor's family, and had to submit under the pressure and marry his daughter.
The days passed quietly amid rumors from the outside world and the busy work of the Liu family, until the day of the wedding. When firecrackers were set off in front of the Liu family's door, it was already three days later.
These three days were neither long nor short. The short part was that, as a marriage, it was indeed a bit anxious. There had been no proposals for marriage, no matchmaking, and no mention of a matchmaker. This was indeed a bit strange and would inevitably give rise to gossip outside.
As for the length, it was naturally Lingxiang’s plan.
Lingxiang has been hanging around in all the major restaurants in Cangzhou these days, and asked Xinyi to tell the beggars in the city about the Liu family's wedding, hoping for some response, but she didn't expect to wait for a long time without seeing any movement.
This is somewhat different from Lingxiang's calculations.
Normally, Yinghuan should have discovered that Lingxiang was deceiving her these days, but she did not take any action. She even asked Xinyi to find a few more beggars to pass on the message.
Could it be that she had misunderstood? Was the Governor's Mansion not her goal? This couldn't be right!
That's right, the news was indeed spread by the spiritual incense, and the beggar in the restaurant was the best means of spreading the news. He originally wanted to use this to lure Yinghuan to show up, but he didn't know whether she didn't get the news or was really patient.
While Yinghua was able to remain calm, Lingxiang couldn't sit still! After all, we couldn't let the Governor's Mansion down, right?
"Get married!" Lingxiang made the decision.
But who will get married? Liu Lan has been hidden by Xiaobai.
Although I don't know why Sang Mu would work for the demons, I think he must have his reasons. After all, Liu Xia has said again and again that Sang Mu is not a person who cannot distinguish right from wrong. In this case, the only way to find out the reason is to meet him.
But according to Lingxiang, it is not convenient for Liu Lan to show up at the moment, lest she become a bargaining chip for Bai Wuchang to control Sang Mu in the future, and she might even be killed by Yinghuan.
This kind of thing is not impossible, as people like Bai Wuchang are very used to using such methods.
"Of course it's up to you two." Lingxiang pointed at Liu Xia and Banxia and said.
"What! Me and him!" Banxia stood up in shock, almost knocking the teacup off the table. "Why me?"
"Does it really mean that I, a dignified elder of a sect, have to take action myself?" Lingxiang took a sip of tea calmly, looking totally composed.
"Then...how...how can I..." Banxia pointed at her nose and hesitated, but she didn't say the rest for a long time.
"Why not? I'm not asking you to really marry him. It's just a show." Lingxiang glanced at Liu Xia and found that the corner of his mouth was actually twitching. Although it was only for a moment, she happened to see it.
That's a smile! Could it be...
Oh~
Lingxiang suddenly realized why Banxia had come to her earlier and said something about Liu Xia being a little strange, but couldn't quite pinpoint what it was. So this was the real reason. It was just that Banxia, a girl in a situation like this and with her straightforward personality, naturally didn't understand the scheming of these men.
Hmm~
When did it start?
According to Banxia, Liu Xia started to feel strange after coming out of the Long family tomb, and they were both trapped in the Xuanwu Formation. Could something have happened?
hiss~
I actually encountered something like this from a storybook. This is really...
It’s so much fun!
Lingxiang suddenly felt like playing and felt that she had to do something to comfort herself for the hard work of the past two days.
Although there are still many things that need to be dealt with, this won't stop her from having fun, right?
Even if the king of heaven comes, she will still have fun!
Thinking of this, Lingxiang immediately put on the demeanor of an elder and said, "Since you've entered the Dao sect, you should have the heart to eliminate demons, defend the Dao, and uphold justice. This is just a ploy to lure out Yinghua, so what's wrong with that?"
These words had a preaching tone, and Banxia and the other two had to stand up and listen with their fists clenched. After all, in terms of seniority, Lingxiang was indeed a generation older than them.
However, this was the first time that Xinyi saw Lingxiang acting so serious. If Xinyi didn't know her character and temper very well, she would have believed it.
only……
Xinyi suddenly felt a chill on her back.
What kind of tricks is this little girl having in her head?
