Chapter 370 The First Wife Given Away by Her Husband (8)
King Yue was reminded by Shu Ming and his mind began to work more carefully. "You're right. This matter should be entrusted to a reliable person."
"You just go and prepare the booklets; I'll choose some first."
Shu Ming finally agreed.
The next day, the Prince of Yue went to the county princess's residence to deliver betrothal gifts. The scale of the event was no less impressive than that of a first wedding, which made the people of Shengjing understand the Prince of Yue's attitude.
Taking advantage of the betrothal ceremony, the King of Yue summoned Mao Rui to his side and gave him some instructions. He also tied a jade pendant around Mao Rui's waist. "Be careful in everything when you get to the military camp. Although there is no war on the border now, small groups of enemy troops still harass the border from time to time."
Once you join the army, you must practice martial arts diligently. You need to train your physical strength and speed. If you run fast, you'll live longer than others; if you're strong, you'll have a greater chance of killing someone.
"If you need anything, don't hesitate to write to me or your mother. Your mother misses you most."
Mao Rui's eyes reddened. If his mother hadn't been so concerned about him, she wouldn't have been "forced into a divorce."
However, his stepfather treats his mother even better than his biological father, and he hopes that he can treat his mother well for the rest of his life.
"Your Highness, my mother has had a very difficult life over the past ten years. I hope Your Highness will treat her well."
I had heard people say that the King of Yue was bloodthirsty and difficult to approach, but now it seems that he is actually quite easy to talk to, otherwise he would not dare to make demands in front of the dignified King of Yue.
The prayer beads in the King of Yue's hand began to spin again.
...
Two days later, Mao Rui went to the frontier. If he didn't leave soon, Mao Renyi would come to the county magistrate's mansion.
Ji Liang sent a bodyguard to follow Mao Rui. After Mao Rui arrived safely at the military camp, Ji Liang delivered the prince's letter to the deputy general before returning.
Mao Renyi was furious after being tricked by his son, but the imperial decree had already been issued, and he had no time to delay. So, as soon as he learned that his son had gone to the military camp, he hired a carriage and left An County with his family.
No sooner had the Mao family left than the Ning family, who had received the letter, arrived in the capital.
They rushed to the capital in nearly twenty days, barely making it in time for their daughter's (great-aunt's) wedding.
Even though it was a second marriage, they still needed to provide a dowry.
Things were rushed, so we couldn't prepare in great detail, but we still managed to pack more than twenty truckloads of stuff.
Including the original owner's dowry, Ning Yan reduced her dowry to 88 sets and officially married into the Yue Prince's Mansion on the sixth day of the ninth lunar month.
A maidservant called out from outside the bridal chamber, "Madam Qu."
"The princess asked me to send some food to the princess."
The maids replied in unison, "Yes, Madam Qu, please."
Ning Yan, who was inside the room, smiled slightly upon hearing the sound.
Just then, footsteps approached from afar. "Your Highness, our princess was worried you might be hungry, so she sent me to bring you some food. Please eat some while it's hot."
The personal maid, Xiaoyu, bowed to the other party and said, "Thank you for coming all this way, Madam Qu. The Princess will need it later."
After you've delivered the gifts, you should leave quickly. Tonight is my young lady and the prince's wedding night. What are you doing wandering around like an outsider?
However, Madam Qu refused to leave. "Anyway, the Prince has to entertain the guests, and the Princess is rather bored. I'll stay here and chat with the Princess for a while."
Ning Yan: No, who are you? You think you can chat with this princess for a while? Do you deserve it?
Xiaoyu'er's eyes darted around, and she poured a cup of tea. "Oh, that's really too much trouble for you, Madam. Please have some tea, Madam."
Madam Qu adjusted her hair, a smile playing on her lips. After showing off her hairpins, she reached out to take the tea.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoyu's hand slipped, and the cup of warm tea spilled all over Madam Qu's chest. "Ah... what are you doing? You've soaked my new clothes, how am I supposed to wear them now?"
"Madam, I'm so sorry, it was my carelessness. It's all my fault. How about I take you back to change your clothes?"
Madam Qu was furious; her earlier smugness vanished, replaced by a face full of resentment.
She wanted to provoke the princess later, and then flirt with her brother-in-law. Now she had to change her clothes.
Seeing that the damned girl was still trying to help her, she raised her hand to slap Xiaoyu across the face.
Xiao Yu cried out, and before her hand could even touch her face, she covered her face and fell backward. "Madam, how could you hit me? I didn't mean to."
"At worst, I can just compensate you for the cost of a new dress. Why are you making things difficult for me, Madam?"
Madam Qu hadn't expected that before she could even slap her, this little wretch would pretend to be injured and fall to the ground. She had come to scheme against others, but she had been outsmarted by a mere maid. "Your Highness, I'm not saying this, but your maid's manners are really lacking!"
Ning Yan ripped off her veil, stood up, and slapped Madam Qu hard across the face. "Since when has it become your place, an outsider, to point fingers at my maid?"
"You, you actually dared to hit me?"
Ning Yan slapped him again, "I've already hit you, why are you still asking?!"
Outside the door, a clever little maid hurried to the front yard. Good heavens, the princess had just entered the door and was already fighting with Madam Qu. Wouldn't the prince be furious?
Ugh, just thinking about it is terrifying!
Upon receiving the news, the King of Yue exclaimed: "...The Queen Consort hit someone? She looks so gentle and weak, how could she hit someone?"
Xiang Zizi, very good!
When the King of Yue rushed back to the bridal chamber, it was already in complete disarray.
Upon seeing him enter, Madam Qu bowed to the Prince of Yue, looking aggrieved. "Brother-in-law, the Princess Consort has gone too far. Look how badly she beat me!"
As she spoke, Lady Qu leaned closer to the King of Yue, giving him a good look at her burning face.
Ning Yan burst into tears, her words filled with grievance, "If Your Highness doesn't like me, you can simply not marry me. Why did you marry me and then have me humiliated like this?"
"I haven't even entered the bridal chamber yet, and your men have already beaten my maid. Are you going to drag me out and have me beaten to death tomorrow?"
"Brother-in-law, it was clearly the princess who attacked me first! And that maid of hers, she actually dared to throw tea at me!"
She thought her brother-in-law would definitely speak up for her this time, but to her surprise, the King of Yue looked at her with icy eyes and asked, "Why is Lady Qu here?"
Xiang Zizi: ...
"Fine, men, drag her out of here."
It's all because of this woman. He should have been the one to lift the princess's veil, but now he can't.
"Brother-in-law, you actually had me dragged out?"
Seeing that the Queen Consort still had a cold face, the King of Yue felt a surge of irritation for no reason. "By the way, send someone to escort Madam Qu back to the Qu family tomorrow."
There's no reason for a married woman to live in his house every day.
If she doesn't want to go back to her parents' home, then send her back to her husband's home.
In any case, he can't keep this Yue Prince's mansion.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you can't do this to me! My sister is watching from heaven!"
When the maid who was pulling her saw this, she quickly took out a handkerchief and gagged Madam Qu. This was the prince's joyous day, and Madam Qu could not be allowed to ruin it.
Xiaoyu was quick-witted. After Madam Qu was dragged away, she immediately began to clean up. The servants of the Prince's Mansion also came in to help, and soon the inner room was cleaned up.
"Go to the kitchen and bring over a table of food."
