Chapter 15 Accusation
The person who suffered the greatest shock was Luzhu, who was supporting the bride. Her heart was in her throat.
This girl has been very cooperative all along the way, why is she making trouble now?
It was really a life-threatening situation. She didn't even have time to cover her mouth in public.
Jiang Xinyu didn't understand Luzhu's breakdown at all. She threw off the veil and ran to Zuo Xiang with tears in her eyes.
At least the girl still remembered that in ancient times men and women were strictly separated, so she only grabbed the old man's sleeve and did not dare to shake his hand.
But even so, it is shocking enough.
Zhang Zhongyi subconsciously flicked his sleeves to shake the person off, but to his surprise, he failed.
The guests around immediately felt that there was something big going on here.
Could it be that Miss Li wants to break off the engagement and ask the Left Prime Minister to make the decision?
Damn, this share today is worth it.
The two giants have been fighting each other for so long, and now they are finally going to clash head-on.
Obviously, Xiao Yuan also thought so, and his eyes looked at "Li Mingyue" more and more unfriendly.
It is said that the more you look at a beautiful woman under the light, the more energetic she will become.
Jiang Xinyu is already good-looking, and she dressed up beautifully today. She is so beautiful under the red candles in the hall.
Many guests were dazzled by her appearance, and felt a sense of sympathy while watching the show.
What the scholar said was right. It was a waste to give such a beauty to Xiao Yuan.
He can't use a eunuch, isn't this a waste of resources?
Unfortunately, those who are attracted by appearance are just good-for-nothings and lustful men, but Governor Xiao is not one of them.
His newlywed wife lifted her veil and cried bitterly in the wedding hall, and even pulled his mortal enemy with an excited look on her face. Now he just wanted to chop this woman into pieces and feed her to the dogs.
Jiang Xinyu also threw everything she had today, not caring at all about the greedy or disgusted looks from the crowd. She just grabbed Zhang Zhongyi's sleeve and cried bitterly.
Lord Zuo Xiang has risen from a farmer's son to the top of the civil service. He can definitely be said to have broad knowledge.
He had seen at least eight hundred women, from imperial concubines and princesses to common women, but this was the first time he had seen one cry in such a unique way.
There is grievance in sadness, there is joy in grievance, and there is entanglement in joy.
Such rich emotions, if accompanied by sobbing, would definitely make people want to hold her in their arms and comfort her, but this girl has a loud voice.
He was the closest to it, and he could only feel his head buzzing as if a devil's sound pierced his ears.
Lord Zuo Xiang has been suffering from neurasthenia due to overusing his brain. In recent years, he has become increasingly disgusted with loud noises. The concubines in the mansion all speak softly when they quarrel over his favor, which may have annoyed the old man.
Zhang Zhongyi almost couldn't hold back and slapped Jiang Xinyu after being caught off guard by her howl, but due to the other person's identity, he could only suppress his anger and try his best to put on a smile.
"Ms. Li, feel free to speak up for whatever grievances you have, but don't cry on such a happy day.
Many of the adults here are your father’s colleagues, and we will definitely help if we can.”
Zhang Zhongyi's lackey also nodded in agreement, but he couldn't suppress the wicked smile on his face.
Speak up, speak up!
Say you don't want to marry a dead eunuch,
Say you were forced.
Saying that you already have someone in your heart and have decided to spend your life with someone else.
It would be best if you bang your head against the pillar and make a big fuss about it. We will definitely report that damn eunuch to avenge you.
Naturally, the people on Xiao Yuan's side could also think of what they could think of. One clever young man winked at the maids around and asked them to take the bride to the backyard.
How could Zuo Xiang's people let these people have their way? They all intentionally surrounded Jiang Xinyu and Zuo Xiang, and urged the bride to speak out if she had any grievances.
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and no one even noticed that the rude young man was covered by the mouth and led away by the guards.
They wanted to protect the scholar just to cause trouble for Xiao Yuan. Now the bride is crying and accusing him of caring about an insignificant person.
This group of people were eager to try, and they couldn't hide the excitement on their faces, as if they were a group of vultures that smelled blood. They only regretted not bringing paper and pen to record Xiao Yuan's crimes in class.
Governor Xiao looked at everyone coldly and sneered in his heart.
There are quite a few people here who have surrendered to him a long time ago, but they didn't expect that when the situation was not right, these fence-sitters would immediately come out.
Fortunately, he never believed these people, otherwise he would not know how he would die in the future.
Seeing the atmosphere become so tense, Jiang Xinyu finally stopped crying and said to Zuo Xiang sincerely,
"I have been raised in a secluded house and never leave the house. This is the first time I have met such a knowledgeable and insightful elder like the Left Prime Minister.
What you just said was very good. It gave me a deeper understanding of your Majesty's generosity and benevolence.
Our great Majesty is truly like the vast sky that accommodates all things, and like the sea that embraces all rivers, demonstrating his divine virtue.
His benevolence and compassion are felt by all people, and he is truly an example of a wise ruler throughout the ages.
I am so lucky to be born in Dajin.
Lord Zuo Xiang, what you just said about His Majesty being kind and generous is true, right?
You are not trying to deceive an ignorant woman like me, are you?"
Everyone was waiting to hear the woman accuse King Xiao Yan of forcing his concubine to marry him, but they didn't expect that the other party would actually poop a big shit for them.
Although they all had to flatter the emperor when they were officials, this woman went too far and made them feel sick.
Zhang Zhongyi also felt that the girl from the Li family was abnormal, but the question had come to his face, and he couldn't say that the emperor was not kind at all and was extremely petty.
Although...their emperor was certainly not a generous person.
As soon as she saw Zhang Zhongyi nod, Jiang Xinyu's eyes lit up and she continued,
"Lord Zuo Xiang, you are the most learned person in the world, and my daughter has to make the most important decision in her life.
You are so smart, kind and helpful that you will definitely not stand idly by, right?
Maybe this is just a small thing to you, but it is a big thing related to my lifelong happiness.
You won't hesitate to help me solve my doubts, right?
Right!
Right!
Right!"
"right."
Zhang Zhongyi felt regretful as soon as he said this. He has always been cautious and knew that he should not agree to anything without knowing the other party's request.
But when I thought about what the other person said about his life, I felt relieved.
The other party's identity and the current situation, plus the fact that what the girl said was a trivial matter to others, it is clear that it is still a problem of marriage.
A charming young lady from an official family is marrying an old eunuch. It's not surprising that the bride will cause all kinds of trouble.
Anyway, he came here today just to cause trouble, and he really doesn't mind making the water more muddy.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongyi's gaze towards Jiang Xinyu softened a little.
"My dear niece, please feel free to tell me if you have any grievances. If you are undecided, I can help you with your advice.
After all, I am an official in the same court as your father, and I will definitely help if I can.
Jiang Xinyu immediately stopped crying and looked at Lord Zuo Xiang with gratitude, but she still didn't let go of the sleeves in her hands, as if she was holding on to her life-saving straw.
Everyone's ears were perked up, and Xiao Yuan was touching the ring on his hand and looking at the scene coldly.
My marriage is becoming more and more interesting. Old man Li, who is as timid as a mouse, can actually give birth to such a bold and reckless daughter.
It really gave him a surprise.
