Outside the sedan chair, the groom thought that the person coming back with him was his beautiful bride, so he pulled the reins and rode as fast as he could, and soon they arrived at the town.
Fang Junyi, who was in the sedan chair, saw through the curtain that the crowd was getting denser and denser, and he felt anxious.
Could it be that the group of bandits felt that it would be difficult to escape on the plains, so they planned to blend in with the crowd?
Inwardly, Fang Junyi cursed Ao Xi for his cunning schemes. While no one was paying attention, he whispered through the curtain to A Yang, who was disguised as a sedan bearer, "There's a change of plan. Go get the brothers to come to town and be on standby."
After the news was released, Fang Junyi had a clue in his mind. He sat back in the sedan chair and calculated the moment when Ao Xi would take action.
Since it is not in the sparsely populated suburbs, it must be on the busiest street.
Fang Junyi thought about it and immediately narrowed the scope to setting off firecrackers or scattering money into the mansion.
Firecrackers are set off at the entrance of the alley, when the noise is so deafening that no one notices who is around them. Throwing money is even more of a hassle, with everyone scrambling for it, creating a chaotic scene and making it easy for violence.
Fang Junyi speculated fiercely, feeling that he had figured out all the tricks of Ao Xi and his group. He touched the weapon hidden under his seat, and seemed to have seen himself piercing Ao Xi's chest with a sword, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.
At the same time, a carriage stopped at the door of the groom's house.
When they saw the family emblem on the carriage, someone immediately came forward to greet it.
As soon as the woman in the indigo double-breasted skirt appeared, the servant hurriedly put a stool under her feet.
The groom, Mrs. Zou, personally greeted the guests with a smile on her face, "Mrs. Fang."
Madam Fang got off the carriage and nodded to Madam Zou, "Madam Zou."
Normally, Mrs. Fang wouldn't have to make the trip to see her niece's wedding, mainly because Mr. Zou received a transfer order a few days ago to work in the capital.
Lord Zou sent a wedding invitation to the Fang family. Since Prefect Fang couldn't leave, Mrs. Fang had to give him some face.
In fact, she and Fang Junyi were walking one after the other, but Fang Junyi was riding a horse at full speed, while Mrs. Fang was riding in a carriage. Because of her delicate body, she had to walk for an hour and rest for half an hour, so they were delayed until this time.
Not only her, but also Fang Junyi's elder brother Fang Junye came. He and the groom were old acquaintances, and he was also familiar with Mrs. Zou.
Madam Zou exclaimed in admiration when she saw Fang Junye, "Madam Fang's eldest son is truly a handsome man. If he hadn't been engaged so early on, I'm afraid all the women in Qingyun City would have been fighting over him."
Madam Fang's eyes lit up with satisfaction, but she spoke humbly, "I'm so grateful that my unpromising son can get married. He's nothing compared to your Third Young Master Zou, who made it onto the list at such a young age."
Mrs. Fang not only spoke humbly, but also dressed very modestly.
There were almost no gorgeous woven patterns on the plain material, and she only wore a jade hairpin and a few simple pearl flowers on her head. Not to mention the host, Mrs. Zou, even the women of ordinary wealthy families were dressed more gorgeously than her. If it were not for her social status, she would definitely be lost in the crowd.
When talking about her son, Mrs. Zou laughed so hard that her mouth couldn't close. "Haha, Mrs. Fang, you are so kind."
When the two ladies were flirting with each other, firecrackers suddenly sounded outside.
The "crackling" sound attracted many children, who clapped their hands and laughed, looking very happy.
A maid ran over with a happy face, "Here he comes, the Third Young Master is back!"
As he was speaking, Young Master Zou San came riding a tall and handsome horse, wearing a goose feather hat, looking very heroic.
The Zou family had two happy events: the master was promoted and the son got married. They were so happy that they simply held a buffet and didn't spend any money.
When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Mr. Zou San got off his horse and went to support the bride.
The curtain of the sedan chair was opened, but the "bride" was reluctant to come down.
When the people around saw this scene, they also talked about it.
"Why doesn't the bride get out of the sedan chair?"
"Who knows? Was she forced to marry here by her family?"
Wherever there are people, there are always rumors. Seeing more and more people gathering around, Zou San also got angry.
He simply opened the door of the sedan chair to pull the person out, but it didn't work. The person didn't move, and the knife hidden under the seat fell out with a "bang", which startled Zou San.
At this moment, he also discovered the abnormality of the "bride". Not only was she extremely strong, but her figure did not look like that of a girl at all.
Zou San suddenly stepped back and shouted, "Who are you!"
The "bride" trembled and cried out in pain.
Somewhere along the line, Ao Xi, who was supposed to snatch the bride, was like a coward, never showing up. This put Fang Junyi in a difficult position, so he could only lower his voice and say, "Master Zou, can you please excuse me for a moment..."
Hearing a male voice, Zou San's brain went numb and he could no longer listen to anything else. He shouted, "Quick! Catch this thief pretending to be the bride!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the servants and guards rushed over and surrounded the sedan chair.
Fang Junyi had no choice but to tear off his red veil and grit his teeth, saying, "I am Fang Junyi, and I'm here to arrest bandits on the orders of my father, Prefect Fang. Who dares to touch me?"
Seeing Fang Junyi's unshaven face, the onlookers were excited.
"A man, a man! The bride is a man!"
Mrs. Zou, who had finally squeezed in, saw what was happening and screamed, "Oh my God!" and almost fainted.
[Fang Junyi's reputation is damaged, his luck value is reduced by 10, and his current luck value is 90]
Fang Junyi was afraid of being mistaken for a pervert, so he took a deep breath and said loudly, "I am the prefect's son, Fang Junyi! I got word in advance that bandits would come to steal the bride, so I disguised myself as the bride. Everyone, please make way!"
Although his words were righteous, his attire was really too funny.
