A gift as light as a goose feather sent from afar carries profound meaning. Although the gift Feng Changgui gave to Lu Qingyan was not anything valuable, the sentiment behind it was truly precious.
After a while, Lu Qingyan sat on the horse, feeling dizzy, ready to go and greet her bride.
Although this wedding is not as grand as before, it is still much more lively than that of an ordinary family. Joyful music fills the air, and even the people on the roadside have faint smiles on their faces.
Occasionally, Lu Qingyan would overhear a few words, such as "Prince Jing is so handsome." She smiled slightly, but her mind returned to calm.
I should be hearing joyful sounds along this road, but for some reason, there's been a commotion ahead.
Suddenly, Lu Qingyan's eyelids twitched, and she had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, her premonition soon came true. In broad daylight, in front of everyone, someone actually tried to steal the Princess Consort of Jing!
This man didn't try to cover his face with a black cloth, so you could see what he looked like at a glance. He was wearing coarse cloth clothes and didn't look like he came from a wealthy family. His demeanor could only be described as barely acceptable. But Lu Qingyan could clearly see the fleeting tenderness in his eyes when he got into the sedan chair.
And the woman in the wedding dress, ever since he appeared, clung tightly to his sleeve, following him closely, unwilling to leave.
Lu Qingyan felt a headache coming on. He inexplicably remembered what Feng Changgui had said about the Princess Consort of Chen having someone else in her heart.
Is this karma for my gossiping?
Cough cough, that's definitely not it.
But what's wrong with this world? One or two rich young ladies look down on those with high social status and choose someone who is not very noticeable. Have their aesthetic tastes become distorted?
My God, this is absolutely terrifying. Lu Qingyan thought to herself, and couldn't help but shudder.
But wasn't this girl supposed to be very shy? How did she suddenly evolve into a majestic fox, becoming so bold and even playing this trick on me?
Lu Qingyan coughed twice, her body involuntarily leaning to the side. In that instant, everyone around her looked at her with pity.
"This kid's not having it easy!" This was their shared sentiment.
Lu Qingyan was all alone and could only watch helplessly as the bride was taken away by someone else; perhaps the bride was willing to do so.
When the news reached the palace, the Emperor was furious. What did these two people mean? Did they not respect him at all? His own son could be forgiven for such a mistake, but others could not! Thus, although Princess Jing eloped with her lover, her family was implicated.
Lu Qingyan felt that the girl definitely wouldn't care about her family. Her life hadn't been easy before either; the people in the manor had never shown her any care, but instead frequently humiliated her. Why should she give up the happiness that was within her grasp for these insignificant people?
She's not stupid.
Princess Consort Chen was secretly delighted upon hearing the news. Perhaps she could let go of the past and start a new life with the one she loved.
So, half a month later, Princess Consort Chen also passed away, and Feng Changgui finally found an opportunity to move back.
The Emperor felt very guilty and specially summoned Lu Qingyan and Feng Changgui to his side, regretting, "It is my fault for not choosing the right people, which has put you two in a difficult position."
