Chapter 59 You Go Die
If it were anything else, Mrs. Fang probably couldn't be of much help, but she could certainly help with spreading gossip.
Upon hearing Shen Shu's instructions, she went without saying a word.
As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.
When Fang's mother revealed the news to the gatekeeper of Prince Cheng's mansion, she discovered that someone had already delivered the message.
The doorman heard his mother talking about it on the street and assumed that the news had spread far and wide.
So, with a dark expression, he went in again to report.
Upon hearing this, Xie Hanyu was so angry that she kicked the table over.
"That bitch!"
"Wasn't it supposed to be Shen Shu who was to be married off? How come it's her again!"
It even gave him a crooked mouth, making him a laughingstock.
Xie Hanyu was not unaware that he had a bad reputation in the capital. Although people talked about him behind his back, they were all very respectful when they met him.
This is the first time I've ever been this embarrassed.
The servant standing nearby was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.
"The madam of the patriarch sent someone to deliver a message, saying that Miss Shen is cunning and that taking action in the patriarch's mansion might ruin things. If she were to escape, wouldn't it be a loss? Now, the only option is to bring Miss Shen along under the pretense of sending her off to her wedding. Once she enters the Prince Cheng's mansion, it will be much easier to make a move."
Xie Hanyu was panting heavily, exuding a fierce aura.
"Useless! This Shenqiu Mountain is truly useless; he can't even handle a woman, I have to do it myself!"
"Give the order: once Shen Shu has escorted my crooked-mouthed princess into the bridal chamber, lock the door. Not even a fly should be allowed to escape!"
The servant breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went to carry out the task.
Xie Hanyu was still not satisfied, so he rushed into the wedding hall and smashed everything in it to pieces.
If it were Shen Shu, she would still have to pay respects to her parents, but now it's Shen Xiao who's married into the family. How can this bastard be worthy of bowing to him?
The matchmaker and maids in the hall dared not speak, wondering what had gotten into Prince Cheng.
They looked at each other, wondering: Is the wedding banquet still going to proceed?
Just then, the sounds of suona horns and traditional string and wind instruments came from outside, indicating that the bride's sedan chair had arrived.
Xie Hanyu smiled wickedly, thinking: Just in time.
That bitch made him a laughingstock in front of so many people, how could he not pay the price?
So a large group of people went to the gate of the Prince's Mansion to greet them.
When the wedding attendant from the Uncle's Mansion saw Prince Cheng emerge, she hurried forward to greet him: "According to custom, the sedan chair door must be knocked three times before the bride is welcomed ashore. This is an auspicious way of saying 'knock on the door,' Your Highness, please..."
Before the matchmaker could finish speaking, Xie Hanyu pushed her aside and walked towards the bridal sedan chair.
Just when everyone thought that Prince Cheng was so impatient to see his bride, they saw him reach into the bridal sedan chair, grab Shen Xiao's hair ornament, and pull her out.
Shen Xiao screamed in pain!
The next second, Cheng Wang pulled Shen Xiao out, along with her hair ornament and veil.
Because King Cheng used too much force, Shen Xiao's hair fell to the ground and along with her hair ornament.
Upon closer inspection, even the scalp was clearly visible.
Cheng Wang used his foot to hook Shen Xiao's chin, and after seeing that her mouth was indeed crooked, he became even more furious.
"Bitch! Bitch! That bastard Shen Qiushan actually dared to marry this crooked-mouthed woman into our family!"
Whether from pain or fear, Shen Xiao's mouth twitched involuntarily when she saw Cheng Wang's fierce appearance.
Today is a joyous occasion at the Cheng Prince's Mansion, and many people have come to watch the spectacle.
I wanted to see what kind of woman would make Cheng Wang, who frequents brothels, settle down, but I never expected it to be such a crooked-mouthed woman!
Now, Cheng Wang has messed up her hair, exposing a large patch of scalp, making her look even more frighteningly ugly.
King Cheng was furious when he heard the whispers of the people around him.
Seeing Shen Xiao's twitching, crooked mouth, he immediately kicked him twice.
"Ah! Ah!"
Shen Xiao screamed in agony.
"Your Highness."
Shen Shu watched from the sedan chair behind for a while before getting out to stop them.
We can't let him keep fighting. If he does, how will she proceed with her plans?
"The imperial physician said that my sister's crooked mouth will get better. I know you are angry, but after all, it is a marriage bestowed by the Emperor. Even if we don't care about the monk, we should still consider the Emperor's feelings."
Xie Hanyu felt his bones melt upon hearing that voice.
He turned around and saw Shen Shu dressed in light pink, with a tall and slender figure.
She wore light makeup, and her features were exquisite, whether viewed from afar or up close.
Such a beautiful woman walked gracefully toward him.
Cheng Wang couldn't help but swallow, his angry expression completely changing from when he had just kicked Chen Xiao.
Xie Hanyu thought to himself that he should welcome Shen Xiao in first, otherwise even if he could break off the engagement, Shen Shu would still follow him.
This won't do!
"Since my aunt has pleaded for him, then I will say no more and let this crooked-mouthed man enter!"
Xie Hanyu then relented.
Shen Shu helped Shen Xiao up and looked at her.
Cheng Wang kicked her with force, leaving two shoe prints on Shen Xiao's originally fair skin. In addition, she had lost several bald patches of hair, and her mouth was crooked. It was impossible to describe her as a wretched mess.
Shen Shu bowed respectfully to Prince Cheng and suggested, "Sister's hair is messy right now, so let me take you back to your room to wash up first, and then we can have the wedding ceremony."
She then instructed the maids behind her, "That dark red box is my sister's dowry; carry it back to her room."
Seeing Shen Shu's soft and gentle request, Xie Hanyu had no choice but to comply.
"Then I'll have a servant show my aunt the way."
Shen Shu smiled and nodded, then helped Shen Xiao inside.
Throughout the journey, Shen Xiao remained silent, only glancing sideways at Shen Shu.
However, in the eyes of the servants of Prince Cheng's mansion, Shen Xiao was simply looking down on Shen Shu.
Everyone was speechless, thinking that if Shen Shu hadn't pleaded for her, she might have been beaten by their prince.
How could she be so ungrateful, even turning her own sister, who was pleading for her, into such a foolish act?
One of the servants couldn't help but speak sarcastically, but in a low voice: "Bald head, crooked mouth, and squinty eyes, good heavens, what kind of scumbag did our prince marry?"
Shen Xiao only caught half of what was said. She stared wide-eyed at the servant and exclaimed, "What did you say?!"
But the servant was a shrewd man who had been in the Prince's mansion for a long time. Seeing that Shen Xiao had heard him, he showed no fear. Instead, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Has the Princess lost her mind? Is she hallucinating? I didn't say anything. If you don't believe me, ask the others!"
The others who followed were also adept at changing their tune depending on the situation. Seeing that Shen Xiao had been beaten so badly by the prince before even entering the house, they figured she wouldn't be favored after marrying into the family.
So naturally they didn't take Shen Xiao seriously, and the girls all shook their heads, saying they hadn't heard her.
Shen Xiao was so angry that she completely lost her mind and went berserk on the spot.
"Aaaaaaah!"
She has lost everything—her reputation, her beauty, her status—everything is gone. Now even a servant is bullying her. She really doesn't know what the point of her life is anymore.
Shen Shu pretended to be very considerate of Shen Xiao: "Sister, if you keep calling her that, people will laugh at us."
joke?
Shen Xiao sneered. Was she afraid of being laughed at now?
She stared at Shen Shu with a sinister look. Since her life was ruined, Shen Shu wouldn't have an easy time either!
Suppressing her anger, Shen Xiao continued walking with Shen Shu towards the bridal chamber.
The servants exchanged glances, put down the dowry box, and left.
With a click, the door was locked.
But the next moment, Shen Xiao suddenly pushed Shen Shu down onto the wedding bed and grabbed her neck hard with his hand.
"Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell!"
