Chapter 262 It’s over. Father will settle the score later.
The bride standing next to him was wearing a red veil and couldn't see Lu Qi's figure clearly, so she was a little nervous.
Could it be that this woman is the sweetheart of the eldest son of the Chu family, who was abandoned and came here to cause trouble?
Her heart was in a mess.
She lowered her voice and asked the groom beside her: "Brother Chu, who is this woman?"
But the groom Chu Ruipeng was so flustered at the moment that he had no time to fool her.
"You killed your eldest brother, dumped his body in the suburbs, and pretended to be him to marry this Miss Wang." Lu Qi said it all in one breath.
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
The bride Wang Youwei was so frightened that her body shook.
If the bridesmaid hadn't rushed over to support her, she would have almost fallen to the ground.
"Miss, we don't know you at all, so don't talk nonsense here. Butler Zhao, please ask this family who ruined the wedding banquet to leave." Chu Ruipeng was sweating profusely, staring at Lu Qi, and angrily asked the servants to drive her out.
[The second sister did a beautiful job! ]
Lu Li couldn't help but cheer for the second princess in her heart.
Then she reacted.
[Hey, how did the second sister know about this? ]
"On our way to Qianghe County, we encountered an unknown male corpse. I was frightened, and he appeared in my dream and entrusted me to redress his grievances. He is none other than your biological brother." Lu Qi gritted his teeth and began to talk nonsense.
【so it is.】
[I didn't realize that the second princess also has a talent for metaphysics. ]
[However, Second Princess's fate does make it easy for her to run into ghosts. ]
[Fortunately, she has been staying in the palace for so many years. The palace is blessed by dragon energy, and the little ghosts cannot get close to her. ]
【Later, Concubine De asked for a peace amulet for her. She followed Concubine Shu to the battlefield and killed countless enemies. The evil spirits became a barrier to protect her.】
[No ordinary ghost can get close to her. ]
[It seems that the eldest brother of the Chu family has a deep grudge, otherwise how could he enter the second princess's dream. ]
Lu Li trusted her family and didn't even bother to verify anything. She believed whatever Lu Qi said.
Hearing her inner thoughts, Lu Qi lost his composure.
What?
All those things she made up were actually nonsense, but her horoscope actually attracted ghosts?
"Nonsense, I am Chu Ruilin, and everyone knows that it is my brother who is missing." Chu Ruipeng never expected that his identity would be exposed in public.
He was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.
"Mom and Dad, please talk." He turned his head and looked at his parents.
The old man and his wife of the Chu family looked at each other and said through gritted teeth, "That's right, we have reported it to the authorities. The one who is missing is our youngest son Ruipeng, and the one who is getting married now is our eldest son Ruilin."
【They are talking nonsense.】
[Chu Ruilin has a round blue birthmark on his waist, but Chu Ruipeng doesn't have one.]
Lu Li couldn't help but refute in her heart.
Lu Qi heard his sister's thoughts and immediately said, "In my dream, Chu Ruilin once told me that although he and Chu Ruipeng are twins, he has a birthmark on his waist, while Chu Ruipeng does not."
The faces of the Chu couple and Chu Ruipeng all changed.
How could this woman know so much? Did the boss really tell her in his dream?
"Nonsense, I don't have a birthmark on my body. The one who has the birthmark is my younger brother Chu Ruipeng." Chu Ruipeng insisted and refused to admit it.
He stared at his parents and asked them to step forward and express their opinions.
The old man of the Chu family had a look of determination in his eyes, and he said, "That's right, Ruilin doesn't have a birthmark, it's Ruipeng who has the birthmark. Miss, don't talk nonsense anymore, or we'll send you to see the official."
"That's right. You are not allowed to mess up such a happy day. Hurry, let the couple bow to each other, so as not to miss the auspicious moment." Mrs. Chu hurriedly urged the two to complete the ceremony.
Lu Qi was extremely anxious. Now that things had come to this, she didn't know how to stop it.
You can't use a knife.
"Youwei, why are you standing there? Come and bow." Seeing that the bride did not move, Chu Ruipeng could not help but reach out to pull her.
Wang Youwei suddenly spoke up: "Brother Chu, do you remember what I gave you on the day of our engagement?"
Chu Ruipeng was sweating profusely.
He knew that Wang Youwei was suspicious of him.
"Youwei, don't talk about this. The auspicious time is coming." He avoided the question and refused to face Wang Youwei's question directly.
"Brother Chu, don't you remember? You said you would treasure the gift I gave you for the rest of your life." Wang Youwei's tone became firm.
It seemed as if he would not continue unless he answered.
Chu Ruipeng tried hard to recall.
He suddenly remembered that his elder brother, who never wore the jade pendant on weekdays, had been carrying it with him since he got engaged.
He decided to take a gamble.
"Look at my memory. You gave me a jade pendant that day, how could I forget it?" He forced a smirk.
"No, I didn't give you anything that day." Wang Youwei's voice turned cold.
She shook off Chu Ruipeng's hand, tore off her red veil, tears welling up in her eyes.
She looked straight at him and said angrily, "You are not Big Brother Chu, you are the second young master of the Chu family."
Chu Ruipeng's expression changed.
"Youwei, believe me, I treat you sincerely." He couldn't control his emotions, rushed forward and pressed Wang Youwei's shoulders hard.
But at this moment, Wang Youwei didn't dare let him get close.
The person in front of you is a murderer!
The guests present were also confused by this farce.
How did a happy event become involved in a murder case?
"We are here on government duty. Please do not disturb us. Second Young Master Chu, please come with us." Suddenly, a team of constables came to the door, and the leading officer started shouting loudly.
[Hey, these officials arrived just in time. ]
Lu Li asked a question.
Lu Qi was also surprised.
[Oh, it turned out that it was my father who asked General Meng to take his token to report the case.]
When Lu Qi heard this, he turned around and found that the seat where Meng Shanchuan was sitting had been vacant.
"Sir, you must have made a mistake. This is my eldest son, not the second son." When the old man of the Chu family saw the constable, he quickly took out the wedding money and stuffed it into his hand, trying to cover up the matter.
But the leading detective sternly rejected him.
"Master Chu, what are you doing? We are officials and cannot take a penny from the common people. Let Master Ling come with us."
What a joke.
The county magistrate said that there were important people watching this wedding banquet, and if he dared to accept money from Mr. Chu, he would have nowhere to cry if his official uniform was stripped off later.
Mr. Chu didn't expect that bribery wouldn't work, and he was extremely anxious.
He was unable to stop the officers and could only watch his little son being taken away.
How can the wedding banquet go on now that the groom is gone?
The guests all stood up and left, fearing to have anything to do with the Chu family.
Mr. Chu was so angry that he wanted to settle the score with Lu Qi and others.
"You little bitch, if you hadn't meddled in my business, my son wouldn't have been thrown into jail."
In anger, he swore loudly.
But Lu Qi and his group, who were originally sitting there, left at some point.
He couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on.
"Qi Qi, come with me. You've been out for so long, you can't fall behind in calligraphy. Come and practice your calligraphy here and let me check it." As soon as he returned to the inn, Lu Yanshi called Lu Qi.
Lu Qi's scalp was tingling.
It's over. Father will settle the score with me later.
