"Duke, Madam, something bad has happened! Prince Ming is here to pick up the bride!"
The servant with red silk hanging on his body ran while shouting, and his shout made everyone in the hall turn pale. It looked more like a funeral than a wedding.
"What should we do? The auspicious time is about to arrive, but the young lady is still nowhere to be seen!" The matchmaker was very anxious.
"Evil creature! I shouldn't have brought her back in the first place. She's been a wild creature on the farm, ignorant of everything. Now that she's gone, what will become of the hundreds of lives in our Duke of Ying's mansion?"
The British princess was crying with tears and snot in her eyes while holding a small handkerchief.
The Duke of England was already annoyed sitting next to her, and hearing her sobbing made him even more furious. He grabbed the celadon cup on the table and smashed it to pieces, "Cry, cry, cry—all you do is cry! Useless thing!"
He stood up and said to the servant outside, "Go find her quickly. I want to see her alive or dead. Even if I have to carry her, I want her to be put into the sedan chair for me today!"
The second young lady, who had been watching this farce coldly from the side, stood up, lifted her skirt and knelt straight down. The Duke of England was so frightened that she quickly reached out to help her: "Yu Ning, what are you doing?"
Lan Yuning straightened her back and said calmly, "Mother, Father, we have to make the necessary arrangements. Since my sister refuses to show up, we must give an explanation to Prince Ming and the Emperor. I am willing to marry in her place! I beg you, Father and Mother, to grant my consent!"
Lan Shuang just walked to the door and heard her sonorous words. She couldn't help laughing. She was worthy of being the heroine who held the script of rebirth. She knew how to seize opportunities.
She came from the side and hadn't entered the door yet. Coupled with Lan Yuning's behavior, no one noticed her.
Lan Shuang's brother, Lan Chunqiu, went to help Lan Yuning with a look of concern. His handsome face was full of heartache. "Yuning, get up. Marriage is no joke. How can we let you jump into that fire pit? Prince Ming is lame and cruel. He is not worthy of you at all!"
Lan Shuang: “?”
Oh, the fake sister can’t go, but my biological sister who I just found can go, right?
She looked up at the sky speechlessly and pressed her chest, where there was still a trace of resentment from the original owner. After hearing what this unfortunate thing said, she felt heartbroken.
"Brother, there is no other choice now. If I don't want to, someone else will have to take over. You have done me a great favor, so let me repay you today."
As she spoke, two lines of tears fell on Lan Yuning's pretty little face, which made people feel so pitiful.
"In that case..." The Duke of England was slightly moved, "Then you should go and change—"
"Wait a minute!"
Just as the matter seemed to be about to be settled if they continued talking, Lan Shuang stepped out to interrupt them.
"Who said I don't want to?"
Lan Shuang strode into the front hall, and everyone looked at her as if they had seen a ghost.
The Duke of England was surprised, then furiously pointed at her, "You, you, you—did you go and roll around among the beggars? You're so filthy, how can you be so unbecoming?"
Lan Chunqiu covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve in disgust: "I'm afraid he went to dig out excrement. He grew up in a village and only does menial jobs."
"You silly girl, how dare you come back?" The Duchess of England rushed over and swung her arm to slap her.
Lan Shuang raised her hand to catch it, then flung it away with a murderous look in her eyes. "Try to touch me again. I am the consort of Prince Ming. If you hit me, that would be insubordination."
"You!" Everyone widened their eyes and looked at her in disbelief, as if they didn't know her.
Lan Yuning's eyes flickered slightly, her brows furrowed. What was wrong with this person? Why was he different from his previous life?
"Sister, you're not..." Lan Yuning hesitated and said carefully, "If the Ming King knew about this, it would be bad for you."
Her words were vague, but everyone present understood immediately, and they looked at Lan Shuang with contempt again.
Lan Shuang sneered in her heart, what a powerful mouth he has.
She glanced at Lan Yuning and said in a deep voice, "What I do will be decided by the prince. If the prince is dissatisfied, I will die as an apology and will not implicate you."
"Can……"
Lan Yuning was about to say something when Lan Shuang impatiently urged her, "What are you still dawdling about? The prince is still waiting outside with the wedding procession. If people knew about this, they would think the Duke of Ying's Mansion was so arrogant."
The Duke of England's expression changed several times, and finally he waved his hand: "Take her downstairs to wash and change clothes, and leave as soon as possible."
"Yes." The matchmaker and the maids came over and escorted Lan Shuang out.
Lan Yuning gritted her teeth and followed, "I'm going to see my sister."
…
Lan Shuang's courtyard can be said to be the most remote and dilapidated in the entire Duke's Mansion, but she has no intention of paying attention to it at the moment. She will not come back anyway, so let her love it as it is.
The servants came over with buckets of water. Everything was almost ready. The maids stood by with handkerchiefs and flower petals. Lan Shuang waved her hand and said, "No need. You guys go down. I can do it myself."
"yes."
The room was cleared. Lan Shuang took off her smelly clothes, stepped into the bathtub, and sighed comfortably.
"Xiao Baba, pass the details of the plot to me."
System 888: "Good host."
A large number of unfamiliar memories flooded into her mind. Lan Shuang closed her eyes and digested them for a while. "My father doesn't love me, and my mother doesn't love me. I'm just a cabbage when I get back. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, how miserable."
As a high-level tasker, Lan Shuang's mission this time is to save the cannon fodder female supporting characters and eliminate their resentment. The original owner of this body is her target in this world - the real daughter of the Duke of Ying who was wandering outside and was just recognized.
In the previous life, it was on the wedding day that the original owner escaped from the marriage due to the frame-up by the reborn Lan Yuning, which led to a series of tragedies afterwards. Instead, it was the heroine who arranged the marriage for her, and everything went smoothly for her. She counterattacked and became the queen, enjoying all the glory and wealth.
