Chapter Three
"Cousin, I know you still have feelings for Tang'er." Zhou Yutang thought to herself with pride. As long as Lin Jitong's heart was with her, she was the biggest winner.
Ru'an Marquis's Mansion
"My lord, something terrible has happened!" The servant rushed into the main hall.
At this moment, there was not a trace of joy in the Marquis of Ru'an's residence.
It seems that the Ru'an Marquis's family also felt that Li Zhiwei's marriage into their family was a blessing she could never have imagined in eight lifetimes.
"What kind of behavior is this, shouting and yelling like that?" Zhou scolded with displeasure.
"Madam, the bridal sedan chair... the bridal sedan chair has been stolen." The servant had been secretly watching the situation outside the mansion the whole time.
However, without the owner's permission, he dared not open the door.
However, the servant was not only shocked by the sheer amount of dowry his new wife was about to enter the mansion, but also somewhat disdainful of her. After all, she was just a merchant's daughter who was not respectable enough to be considered a respectable person. Even if her dowry was amazing, she would not be favored by the young master.
However, the servants who were initially watching the show were still unaware that something was wrong when Xu Qingshi took the bride away. It wasn't until most of the wedding procession had left that they realized something was amiss.
Only then did he remember to inform his masters.
"What?" Marquis Ru'an wondered if he had misheard. Had the bridal sedan chair been stolen?
It's one thing to snatch the person, but the dowry that Li brought cannot be taken away.
"What about the dowry?" Zhou asked without hesitation.
"I...I went with them too," the servant replied tremblingly.
"What?" Lin Qihua couldn't sit still any longer upon hearing this.
Those things are very useful.
"Dad, didn't I say we could just find a rooster and have it married off to that woman?" Lin Jitong walked in reluctantly and said.
"You bastard, what kind of logic is it to let a rooster stand in for you at the wedding?" Lin Qihua was full of anger and had nowhere to vent it. Seeing that Lin Jitong didn't care at all, he blamed everything on him.
"Father, didn't you agree back then?" Lin Jitong asked, puzzled. Why did his father suddenly change his mind?
"Oh dear, Jitong, your wife has been snatched away!" Zhou said anxiously.
"Robbed her? That lowly merchant's daughter, which blind fool would have snatched her? So what if she was robbed? Anyway, I don't want to marry her." Lin Jitong was delighted to hear this. He thought that this would save him some trouble.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhou Shi quickly stopped Lin Qihua when she saw that his face had turned as black as it could possibly be.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and bring Li Shi back!" Lin Qihua looked at Lin Jitong with exasperation.
"Oh," Lin Jitong said, and then quickly went out.
Not long after, Lin Jitong returned, looking at Lin Qihua timidly, and asked cautiously.
"Don't you have a mouth? Can't you ask? Li Shi brought so much dowry, how could she sneak away?" Lin Qihua felt like he was having trouble breathing. After speaking, he looked at Zhou Shi with resentment and said irritably, "Look at the good son you raised."
Madam Zhou wanted to say that this son wasn't born from her alone, but seeing that her master was currently in a fit of anger, she said nothing.
However, she was also criticizing in her heart that Li was no good. She hadn't even entered the family yet, and she had already caused her son to be scolded. She was a troublemaker. If it weren't for her dowry, she wouldn't want to wrong her son by marrying such a jinx.
At this moment, the old princess consort of the Prince An's mansion was leisurely drinking tea in Ci'an Hall.
The steward rushed in, saying, "Your Highness, the young master... the young master..." The steward really didn't know how to tell the old princess that the young master had been kidnapped by the prince and brought back a princess.
