Ling Jiheng didn't know what the little fairy was thinking, he just thought she regretted marrying him.
But the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. What's more, he couldn't just hand the little fairy over to anyone else.
His hands tightened slightly, causing Chi Xingyue to feel some pain. Just as he was about to say something, he arrived at the hall.
Ling Jiheng put her down without even pulling the red silk. He took her hand, stepped over the fire basin, and then bowed to heaven and earth.
"First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to parents, husband and wife bow to each other, and then send them to the bridal chamber!"
Chi Xingyue felt dizzy as Ling Jiheng dragged her through the rituals. Even as she sat on the bed, she could still feel her own nervous heartbeat.
Unexpectedly, Chi Xingyue, who was still unmarried in her thirties in her previous life, became a wife at the "young" age of fifteen in this life.
It’s so exciting, isn’t it?
Fortunately, Ling Jiheng was a reliable person. It only took him a few days to fill up his space.
Chi Xingyue looked up at the furnishings in the room and found them quite low-key.
A complete set of small-leaf red sandalwood furniture, an oversized screen with double-sided embroidery. Chi Xingyue gently stroked the exquisitely carved bunk bed, unable to restrain her eagerness.
Seeing that no one was in the room, Chi Xingyue stood up. He opened the cabinet and looked at the full of silk quilts. Chi Xingyue's eyes lit up and he put six of them into the space.
In the cabinet next to him were Ling Jiheng's clothes. Each piece was made of the unique brocade of Jiangnan, with exquisite tailoring, fine stitching, and delicate patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs.
Chi Xingyue counted them and found there were more than thirty items. He picked out more than half and stored them in his space, then continued his search.
By the way, her cheap husband's room is so luxurious, what about her parents-in-law? I wonder if there is a chance to get some!
The next cabinet contained new clothes made for her. Chi Xingyue had them tailored to her body shape from her past life. Even if she couldn't wear them, she was happy just looking at them.
Swish, swish, swish, collect a wave. Then the jewels in the box.
Chi Xingyue had just put the quail egg-sized pearl into her space when Ling Jiheng returned. Their eyes met, and both of them felt a little awkward.
"Well, the beads are beautiful, don't waste them!"
Ling Jiheng nodded, but his expression was a little serious: "The people from Shangjing are here."
Going to Beijing...
In other words, the imperial edict to confiscate property and exile has arrived!
Chi Xingyue was startled and subconsciously put the things into the space.
Ling Jiheng came over and held her hand: "Don't panic, they are resting in the inn. They may take action tonight or tomorrow morning!"
Chi Xingyue had only seen scenes of house confiscation and exile in movies and TV dramas before. Now that he had experienced it personally, he realized that no matter how much theory he had, he was still nervous.
Take a deep breath and decide to have one last party.
I started with my cheap husband's room and put all the valuable furniture into it. Then I put out some second-hand items I bought some time ago to make the room look the same as before.
Then she changed out of her wedding dress, hesitated for a moment, and put them all into the space.
After all, it was her first marriage, so such a commemorative thing had to be treasured.
Seeing how much she cherished him, Ling Jiheng couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
The front yard was bustling with people, but the backyard was quiet.
Ling Jiheng brought the little fairy to his parents' room and put away all the valuables.
He then went to the private vaults of the first and third rooms and took away most of the gold, silver and jewelry inside.
Suddenly, hearing a noise in the front yard, Chi Xingyue quickened his pace, went to the kitchen, and put the freshly prepared meal into the space.
Then he ran to the warehouse and took away most of the rice, flour, grain and oil, and also took the chickens, ducks and geese in the pen to the village committee compound.
Oh, and there are also horses in the stable and gifts from the guests in the front yard.
Chi Xingyue felt that she was a little greedy, but she was obviously incorruptible and had a sincere heart!
The noise grew louder, even affecting the backyard. Ling Jiheng pulled her along and started running: "He Li is probably under control. Let's get back!"
Especially the one he had ridden, he was reluctant to sell it.
As for the car, my own car has been specially designed, and it has incomparable advantages in terms of shock absorption and storage.
Ling Jiheng was very fast, but Chi Xingyue was not. He was panting after running only a few hundred meters.
Seeing this, Ling Jiheng lifted the man onto his shoulders and in a blink of an eye, they were at the stable.
Chi Xingyue looked at Ling Jiheng in shock for several times: "Do you know Kung Fu?"
"Why, is it so hard to accept?"
"No, it's just a little unexpected!"
After he finished speaking, he reached out to touch the horses in the stable, took away eight out of ten, and emptied the feed in the stable.
Ling Jiheng carried Chi Xingyue on his back again and returned to the room in a flash.
Just as the two of them stood firm, someone knocked on the door: "Second Young Master, Second Young Madam, someone from the capital has arrived. Everyone is required to kneel in the front yard to receive the imperial edict!"
Ling Jiheng replied, "I understand!" and went to open the door.
The servant subconsciously looked inside, but Chi Xingyue blocked his view. The servant realized his mistake and quickly stepped aside to lead the way.
Chi Xingyue took a deep breath and thought, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I have space." She has many advantages over the natives.
Ling Jiheng seemed to sense her uneasiness and reached out to hold her wrist. Even without saying a word, he conveyed a sense of peace.
Soon, the two arrived at the front yard. All the Ling family members were waiting there. Their faces were filled with joy, yet they didn't realize the seriousness of the situation.
The old lady and the old man looked at each other and thought that their fate was indeed extremely noble. They had just gotten married and received the imperial edict. They were really lucky.
The guests were all pushed aside, looking at the Ling family with jealousy or envy. Only a few felt that the atmosphere was not right and wanted to run away, but were stopped.
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims..."
The official who announced the decree spoke lightly, but to everyone's ears it sounded like thunder.
What's going on? Confiscating their property and exiling them? Is the Ling family related to the Minister of Revenue?
"Sir, you must have made a mistake. We don't know Lord Cui!" Old Master Ling knelt on the ground and pleaded, trembling.
"That's right, our Ling family has taken root in Jiangnan hundreds of years ago, and has only been to Beijing a few times. How could we have any connection with the Minister of Revenue!" The other juniors chattered.
The official announcing the decree sneered, "The Emperor says you're related, so you're related. So much nonsense, you're asking for a fight!"
Noticing that the guests around him were looking at him in horror, the official announcing the decree softened his expression.
He clasped his hands together and bowed towards Shangjing: "If it weren't for the fact that you and the Cui family haven't been in contact for many years, today's decree would not be as simple as exiling you to Youzhou."
Old Master Ling knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and he leaned forward in excitement.
Ling Jiheng was the fastest. He hugged the old man in his arms and pinched his Ren Zhong point hard.
The old lady couldn't accept it either. Her legs went weak and she burst into tears.
Chi Xingyue quickly grabbed the old lady's hand and comforted her: "Grandma, it's okay. As long as our family is together, we can live anywhere."
