The war on the border was tense, and the families in the capital were fighting secretly. Xiao Yunrou had the secret guards arrange everything and waited for June 29th, the wedding of Mu Yuying and Li Jue.

Xiao Yunrou got up excitedly early in the morning. Pei Lingfeng squinted his eyes in displeasure as he no longer had her warmth and tenderness. He reached out and carried Xiao Yunrou back to the bed.

"It's still early, why are you in such a hurry?"

Pei Lingfeng bit Xiao Yunrou's lips in dissatisfaction, held her in his arms and whispered, "Sleep a little longer. Even if you want to watch a show, you don't have to go so early. What's the point of waiting for the show to start?"

Xiao Yunrou was imprisoned, and she rolled her eyes speechlessly, and could only let him do what he wanted. She suddenly missed the man who used to get up on time to practice swordplay even if he stayed in her room. How could he be so clingy now? It was not enough that he tortured her all night, and he didn't let her get up early in the morning.

Half an hour later, Xiao Yunrou and Pei Lingfeng dressed neatly, greeted Shen, and then went to Li's house to attend the wedding. The wedding invitations were originally sent by the Yueguo Mansion, and most people came for the sake of the Yueguo Mansion. However, after arriving at the Li Mansion, many people were amazed by the decoration of the Li Mansion.

Although the Li Mansion was established after the marriage with Mu Yuying was arranged, everything was ready. It must be that Duke Yue did not want his daughter to marry in an embarrassing way and asked for preparations. It took a month to prepare everything properly. I don't know how much manpower and material resources were spent. Xiao Yunrou looked at the layout of the Li Mansion and sneered.

Xiao Yunya didn't come today, and the Xiao family only sent a butler to deliver gifts, which represented the attitude of the Xiao family. The people in the Duke of Yue's mansion were also a little angry, but they didn't dare to say anything. When the butler left, he saw Xiao Yunrou and his wife who were just entering the house, and left after saying a few words.

On the street, even if Duke Yue was not satisfied with his son-in-law, he had no choice. Although the idea of ​​using Mu Yuying to marry into the royal family failed, at least Li Jue could be used. So he was not too harsh on Mu Yuying's dowry. With the doting mother of Duke Yue, the 120-weight dowry was carried out on the wedding day.

Wearing a red crown and a gorgeous bridal robe is the long-cherished wish of every woman when she gets married. Mu Yuying got it, but the reluctance deep in her heart reached its peak when she heard waves of joy. She sat in the flower sedan chair, and when she thought of Li Jue, she remembered the scheme she had suffered in the Ningguo Mansion. Those unbearable memories emerged in her mind, making her extremely disgusted. How could she want to see that man and deliberately remind herself of those unbearable memories?

Even though Mu Yuying was vomiting blood in her heart, she did not dare to act rashly. Before getting married, she had protested to her father, but she chose to live for a white silk and 120 pieces of dowry. She should be a person who is high and mighty and respected by others. How could she become the legal wife of a small seventh-rank official? Thinking of the culprit, Mu Yuying's eyes burst into strong hatred.

There was a lot of noise outside the sedan chair, and Mu Yuying gradually calmed down. But a moment later, on the busiest East Street, a horse that was welcoming the bride neighed, as if it was startled. Then the sedan chair kept shaking, and Mu Yuying could only hold on to something to stabilize her body. But the front of the sedan chair suddenly broke, and the sedan chair lost its balance and fell forward. The huge force made Mu Yuying, who was sitting in the sedan chair, lose her support point, and her whole body was thrown forward with the sedan chair...

Ah..." With a cry of pain, Mu Yuying fell heavily out of the sedan chair and lay on the ground, which immediately caused an even more serious panic.

Mu Yuying's bridal veil fell off, her clothes were in disarray due to the fall, her pearl crown was knocked and some pearls fell to the ground. Mu Yuying looked very disheveled.

"Oh, the bride fell down! The bride fell down! Haha..." The children who were watching clapped their hands and laughed happily when they saw Mu Yuying fall down. However, the parents nearby knew that this was a grand wedding of a powerful family, and they were concerned about the identities of the bride and groom. They were afraid that they would cause trouble, so they quickly covered their children's mouths and left the scene.

Mu Yuying was very angry. Matchmaker and the maid quickly helped her up and tidied her dress and hair accessories. However, the sedan chair was broken and there was no ready-made sedan chair. Li Jue had no choice but to help Mu Yuying get on the horse, and the two of them rode to Li Mansion together.

The news of what happened in the wedding procession spread quickly. Xiao Yunrou curled her lips. Pei Lingfeng was a little amused. These little fights made his wife so happy? Xiao Yunrou met Pei Lingfeng's eyes and pointed to the door. Pei Lingfeng raised his eyebrows. Could there be another trick?

"Bride, please lift your noble feet high, step over the fire basin to ward off disasters and evil spirits from now on, and have a prosperous life!" At this time, the matchmaker stood at the threshold, shouting at the top of her lungs.

The smile on Xiao Yunrou's face deepened. Pei Lingfeng looked at Xiao Yunrou with some curiosity. Mu Yuying raised her foot and tried to step over the brazier. The next moment, the small flames that were originally burning peacefully in the brazier suddenly burst into flames. Mu Yuying had just stepped over the brazier with one foot, and before she could step over with the other foot, the bright red wedding dress was immediately engulfed by the flames and then burned fiercely. Mu Yuying was not prepared at all, and it was not until she saw a flash of fire that she was frightened and screamed loudly.

Pei Lingfeng narrowed his eyes, and curled his lips as he looked at Xiao Yunrou who was trying to hold back her smile. Others couldn't see it, but he could see clearly that it was his secret guard who threw a flint into the brazier the moment Mu Yuying stepped over it, which made the tiny fire burn more vigorously.

Mu Yuying jumped up and down in a hurry to put out the fire, but she stepped on the brazier and set Li Jue on fire. A lot of their wedding clothes were burned quickly, but Mu Yuying was still making a fuss. In the end, the housekeeper of the Duke of Yue's mansion called someone to bring two basins of water to put out the fire on the two people. But even after the fire was put out, their hair and clothes were in a mess.

"Very happy?" Pei Lingfeng lowered his head and whispered in Xiao Yunrou's ear.

Xiao Yunrou nodded, thinking that her sister should at least be treated like this. She originally wanted to find trouble with Li Jue, find some evidence to impeach him and put him in jail, so that Mu Yuying would have a bad reputation as a husband-killer. Unfortunately, Li Jue was just an official with little power, and there was only more than a month left, so she had to wait until their wedding day. I believe that today's wedding will be remembered by these two people for the rest of their lives.

Pei Lingfeng shook his head slightly. Xiao Yunrou wanted to make trouble for him, but those secret guards were supposed to protect the safety of mother and son, but they were used to do such trivial things. It was really a waste of talent. However, Pei Lingfeng had never seen Xiao Yunrou like this. In his memory, Xiao Yunrou was always gentle and decent, never doing such trivial things, and always hit the target with one blow, except when she knew the truth about Xuan'er's death...

Pei Lingfeng closed his eyes and wiped away the bad memories in his mind. Xiao Yunrou, who was so vivid now, might be the real her. Pei Lingfeng raised the corners of his mouth, feeling happy to discover a different Xiao Yunrou.

At the gate, they saw that their wedding dress was burnt beyond recognition, so they could not hold the ceremony in the hall. They had to go to the back to change clothes, but without their wedding dresses, they could only wear bright red clothes instead. Fortunately, because it was their wedding, they both had several sets of bright red clothes.

Because she had not stepped over the fire basin just now, the ceremony still had to start with the bride stepping over the fire basin. A new fire basin had been placed at the main entrance.

"Please, bride, lift your feet high and step over the fire basin to ward off disasters and evil spirits from now on, and have a prosperous life!"

The matchmaker screamed at the top of her lungs, but because she was frightened by the previous fire, her screams were obviously not as loud as before.

Li Jue took Mu Yuying's hand and walked over the fire basin. They were both very careful, but in full view of everyone, Mu Yuying's dress was burned by the flames in the fire basin.

"Ah! There's a fire again!" Some people in the crowd screamed in surprise, but more were taking pleasure in the misfortune.

The next moment, the housekeeper of the Duke of Yue's residence reacted very quickly and picked up the unused bucket that he had brought earlier, and poured it over Mu Yuying without saying anything. Instantly, the fire was put out, and Mu Yuying was soaked again.

Mu Yuying was so angry that she was shaking all over. Even Li Jue was stunned. If the first time was an accident, it was the same the second time. Suddenly, the scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Xiao Yunrou was also a little surprised. She looked at Pei Lingfeng and saw that he smiled at her with a raised corner of his mouth. Then she understood that the second time was Pei Lingfeng's intention. Xiao Yunrou was immediately happy. She had been causing trouble for Mu Yuying, but now it was a big deal.

"It's unlucky..." someone muttered.

The people of Daliang generally believe in ghosts and gods, especially now that the emperor's admiration for Master Shangshan has reached its peak. The fire basin caught fire twice when he stepped over it, isn't that unlucky? I don't know if this happy event can go on.

"Sir Li, today is your wedding day, so I have to say a few words. According to Daliang custom, stepping over a fire basin is to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, so that the future days will be prosperous. However, the bride has stepped on the fire basin several times before entering the house, which is very unlucky. This is enough to show that God is not satisfied with this wedding. Marriage is a union of two families, and God is warning that the marriage between Sir Li and Miss Mu is not blessed. There will be twists and turns in the future, and the Li family will definitely have a disaster. I hope Sir Li will think twice!"

What you mean is that this happy event is over?

The person who just spoke was the deputy chief of the Qintian Supervisor. Qintian Supervisor was well versed in astrology and fortune-telling, and his words convinced many people. Immediately, everyone present whispered to each other, some agreed, some said it was unexpected, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Mu Yuying was so angry that she lifted the veil and shouted, "Nonsense! You are misleading people with your lies!"

Duke Yue and his wife were originally in the Duke's Mansion. When they heard the news from the Li Mansion, they hurried over. As soon as they entered the door, they heard Mu Yuying's scolding. After asking others and finding out the whole story, they both looked extremely ugly.

"What nonsense!" Duke Yue shot a sharp look at the deputy supervisor, who was not afraid at all and spoke:

"Even if the Duke reported it to the Emperor, I would still say the same thing. Looking at Daliang, has there ever been a bride who has stepped over a fire pot twice and failed to get in in the past few hundred years? This is a warning from heaven, it is heaven's will!"

This remark made Mu Yuying look like a witch. Lady Yue was furious. "What do you mean by God's will? This is just an accident. Lord, you should immediately order the arrest of this lunatic who is spreading lies and misleading people!"

Duke Yue's eyes flashed darkly, staring at the person in front of him without showing any fear, not afraid of his deputy supervisor at all. Mu Yuying's reputation was already ruined, and if she failed to marry and had the fate she had today, she would never be able to marry again. Li Jue's parents also came out of the main hall, and their faces were very ugly when they saw this scene. They were extremely disgusted with Mu Yuying and began to regret marrying such a daughter-in-law.

"My dear in-laws, my dear mother-in-law, these are all lies to confuse the people. You are all educated people, you should not believe these nonsense. How could I, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Yue, let the heavens send a warning and cause misfortune to my family?"

Li's parents were a little hesitant, but they still didn't want their son to marry such a woman. Seeing that Li's parents didn't respond, Lady Yue became even more angry. Her daughter had already been wronged after getting married, and they still didn't know how to behave!

"The Duke of Yue has a plaque bestowed by the previous emperor, so the dragon energy can naturally be suppressed. The Li family was just an ordinary scholar before. After leaving the Duke's Mansion, it will naturally backfire if it can't be suppressed."

The deputy supervisor spoke again without fear of death. The gloomy face of Duke Yue became even darker, and he wished he could kill the deputy supervisor directly.

However, the deputy supervisor said he didn't care, and Li's parents, who had been wavering, were now determined to accept Mu Yuying's uncertain fate.

"You are misleading people with your lies! You say it is God's will, but why can't it be man-made? I think you have bad intentions and want to ruin my daughter's life! My daughter is going to get married today, what are you going to do?"

The wife of the Duke of Yue was furious, but the deputy supervisor laughed.

"Then why not let Lord Li and Miss Mu perform the ceremony again, starting with jumping over the fire basin. Whether it is God's will, the Duke and the Lady will know after a glance."

Things had come to this point, and the Duke of Yue and his wife could not refute. The Duke of Yue personally supervised the preparation of the brazier to ensure that there was no passive action. Only then did he allow Mu Yuying to change her clothes and enter the house.

This time, Mu Yuying was extremely careful, and Xiao Yunrou also watched with interest. However, the result was destined to make Mu Yuying doomed, as the brazier once again burned her dress.

Xiao Yunrou was a little surprised. She looked at Pei Lingfeng, who just smiled. Although it was a little troublesome to do it in front of Duke Yue, he did it, didn't he? Looking at Mu Yuying standing there with a pale face, listening to others talking about God's will, Mu Yuying screamed in despair.

The Duke of Yue had drawn the flames by jumping over the basin three times. Even if he was right, he had no place to complain. He could not force Li Jue to marry Mu Yuying, otherwise, tomorrow the Emperor's case would be filled with memorials impeaching him, saying that he forced the Li family to marry his daughter knowing that she was not a good woman.

The wife of the Duke of Yue also knew that her daughter would not be able to get married today. Seeing Mu Yuying's collapsed look, she also shed tears.

The wedding ended hastily. The Li family did not marry a wife, and the Duke of Yue's mansion did not marry a daughter. However, the wedding banquet was widely spread in the capital. Even Mu Yuying's fall from the sedan chair became a warning from God. Mu Yuying was completely ruined.
