"Shut up!" Liu slapped her daughter in the face with her backhand, "If you hadn't wanted to snatch Shen Weiwan's marriage, how could we have ended up like this!"
At the same time, Shen Weiwan's wedding sedan had arrived at the South City Gate. Xiao Yu dismounted and personally lifted the curtain for her, his eyes full of doting: "Weiwan, the auspicious time is almost here. It's time to get off the sedan and worship in the hall."
Shen Weiwan supported his hand and walked out of the wedding sedan. She looked back at the still struggling Liu and smiled like a little fox who had successfully stolen something fishy: "Aunt, I wish you a 'good journey' on your exile! Remember to dream when you miss me, and I'll burn some croton powder for you!"
Liu suddenly looked up and saw the dazzling phoenix crown and bridal robe on Shen Weiwan's head. She was so angry that she was fuming: "Shen Weiwan! You little bitch, you must die a miserable death..."
"Don't worry, I'm very lucky!" Chen Weiwan shook the mutton-fat jade "scam token" on her waist. "But you, old man, don't forget to send me a letter when you get to the place of exile, telling me whether my ex-husband has brought his concubine to see you!"
Xiao Yu chuckled and put his arm around her waist, whispering in her ear: "Alright my little devil, if you keep teasing me, your aunt might get so angry she'll come back to life."
Shen Weiwan stuck out her tongue and followed him into the city gate. Behind her, Liu's shouting and cursing were gradually drowned out by the people's laughter and newly composed rhymes. Those obscene words that were unbearable to the ears eventually became a joke in the eyes of others.
At night, in the bridal chamber lit by red candles, Shen Weiwan took off her heavy phoenix crown and looked at the wedding wine handed to her by Xiao Yu. Suddenly, she burst out laughing: "Your Highness, do you think my aunt is still cursing in the sedan chair?"
Xiao Yu scratched the tip of her nose and said with a smile, "She's probably crying to the jailer escorting her." He paused, then leaned closer mysteriously, "But I had someone prepare a 'wedding gift' for her."
"What gift?" Shen Weiwan blinked curiously.
"A whole box of croton powder from the Western Regions," Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of mischief, "so she can clear her stomach before she goes to bed, so she doesn't have any bad thoughts in her head."
"Your Highness really has won my heart!" Shen Weiwan laughed so hard that she fell backwards. "To be honest, the expression on her face when she caught her ex-husband having an affair today was even more exciting than the clown on the stage!"
"Yes," Xiao Yu held her in his arms, his chin resting on the top of her head, "In the future, I will watch such wonderful scenes with you slowly. I guarantee it will be more exciting than a play."
Moonlight streamed through the carved window lattices, shimmering like water, illuminating the glow of the red candles. No one could have imagined that this absurd sedan chair parade would become a scene of social death, a scene recounted for decades among the people of the capital, a storyteller recounting it for three days and three nights without repeating himself. And thus, the legend of Shen Weiwan's "deception" unfolded into a new and exciting chapter.
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the screened windows. Just as Shen Weiwan had gotten up, Chuntao walked in, clutching a pile of gilded scrolls. Her face was filled with excitement: "Look, young lady! These are all scrolls from various mansions, inviting you to their homes to 'exchange experiences in managing a household'!"
Chen Weiwan picked up a piece of paper embroidered with lotus flowers, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Housekeeping experience? I'm afraid you want to learn how to cheat people from me? It seems that my 'School of Cheating' can officially start now!"
At this time, Xiao Yu came in from outside and shook his head helplessly when he heard this: "My princess is becoming more and more famous. She is almost becoming the number one 'master of tricking people' in the capital."
"That's right!" Shen Weiwan raised her chin proudly, "From now on, not only will I cheat my scumbag relatives, but I will also cheat all those rich and unkind people who bully men and women!"
Xiao Yu walked over and held her hand, his eyes full of indulgent smiles: "Okay, I'll go along with you. But..." He suddenly leaned close to her ear and lowered his voice, "Can I be your 'scam trainee' first?"
Shen Weiwan's cheeks flushed, and she hit him angrily: "Go to hell! Who wants to trick you!"
The two smiled at each other, the sun falling on their clasped hands, illuminating a future filled with laughter and joy for this "deceitful couple." Thousands of miles away in exile, Liu was still fuming over her "social death" experience the previous day, unable to eat. She was completely unaware that her "glorious deeds" had already spread throughout the capital, becoming the most satisfying joke among the people after dinner.
The cycle of cause and effect in this world is never absent. Shen Weiwan looked at the azure sky outside the window and smiled brightly. She knew that in this life, she would not only live a prosperous life, but also let all those who bullied her taste what it meant to be "socially dead" and what "retribution" meant!
