Chapter 2 The Bride Draws Her Sword
Xu Wan was a paper king in her previous life.
Although she decided to turn over a new leaf and become a lazy fish after her sudden death, it is difficult for Lei Lifeng to change her style of doing things for a while, just like now -
She had already pulled out the knives from the guards on both sides and rushed towards Zong Jincheng in a very calm mood!
"Ah! Help! Madam is going to kill the young master!"
"Quick, quick, quick, stop the bride!"
"Protect the young master!!"
"Slow down... ah... my hair is rotten!"
"The wedding basin is also broken!"
“The happy character is gone too…”
…
The wedding at the Marquis' Mansion was a mess, and those who had come to attend the wedding banquet all ran outside, fearing that they would be implicated.
A happy event turned into a laughing stock, and the whole city of Shengjing was filled with laughter!
When it comes to gossip, the stories told in teahouses are more interesting than the last:
"Even gods would find it hard to swallow the anger of being messed up by the little devil on the wedding day. My third aunt's cousin's nephew was present at the time. He said that Miss Xu lifted the red veil, shouted loudly, drew her sword and rushed out!"
"Wow! As expected of the Minister of Justice's daughter, she has the style of her father!"
"Good! Well said! Keep going!"
"But Master Cheng of the Yuanyang Marquis's Mansion is not someone you can easily mess with. When the young Marquis disappeared, the infant Master Cheng became the young Marquis's only bloodline. Who in the entire Marquis's Mansion, and even the entire capital, would not give him some face?"
"I heard that the entire Marquisate dotes on Master Cheng. I think Miss Xu is going to suffer..."
"Ah? Don't let me get divorced on the day of your wedding!"
“…”
Far away from the Marquis's Mansion.
Before being captured by the guards, Xu Wan had already grabbed the little devil... by the hair.
It is said that modern women like to pull each other's hair when fighting. This shows that the advantage of ancient men is here, and their weaknesses are instantly the same.
"let go!"
Zong Jincheng bared his teeth and pulled Xu Wan's hair with his hands, neither of them giving in.
"No, even if I lose a thousand today, I will give you eight hundred!"
"Hiss... Let me go, I am the son of the young marquis!"
"Heh... I'm the young marquis's new wife! You little brat, based on seniority, you still have to call me mother!"
"I won't scream, you bad woman!"
"You dare to scold me? You can forget about your hair!"
"ah……"
The maids looked at the two people's hairlines with great anxiety.
On one side is the wife of the Marquis, and on the other side is the eldest grandson of the Marquis. Everyone is caught in a dilemma!
"The old marquis has arrived, and the old lady has arrived."
Xu Wan grabbed the little devil's hair and looked sideways at the person who came.
The old marquis and the old lady were both around fifty years old, dressed in gorgeous clothes, followed by countless maids. The two old people had gray hair on their temples, but they looked very amiable.
Especially the old lady, she laughed so hard that her eyes could hardly be seen.
"What are you all standing there for? Why don't you pull these two apart?" The old marquis gave an order, and the others bravely stepped forward to separate them.
Although Zong Jincheng was usually a mischievous person, he was very respectful to the old marquis and was the first to let go of his hand. After escaping from Xu Wan's clutches, he proudly stuck out his tongue at her.
Xu Wan flexed her wrist, and not to be outdone, she raised her hand and pulled off a few strands of the boy's hair.
There was tension between the two.
In the end, the old lady came out to smooth things over. She smiled and walked over to hold Xu Wan's hand, saying, "Wan'er, I made such a joke on the wedding day. I'm sorry that you were wronged."
Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Xu Wan wanted to subconsciously say "no".
But if you think about it carefully, there is no reason not to do so. She has made a fortune!
Although she was not welcomed in the Shangshu Mansion, her stepmother was well versed in superficiality and always had a very good reputation outside. She even chose a husband from a high-class family for her, for fear that if she married someone of a low status, it would be difficult for her daughter to find a husband in the future.
However, due to her status, Xu Wan did not dare to honestly say that she was dissatisfied with the Marquis' Mansion, and could only be a silent lamb at best.
The old lady glanced at the old marquis, and then said to the maids, "You all go down, I have something to say to Wan'er."
The maids left one after another, and Zong Jincheng also wanted to slip away.
But the old marquis opened his mouth and said, "Jincheng stays."
Zong Jincheng blinked his big eyes, as if he realized something was wrong. He quietly stepped back and laughed, "Grandfather, grandmother, I remembered that I haven't read today's book yet, so I'm leaving now. You guys can talk slowly."
The little devil is handsome, with a well-behaved pear-shaped ridge on the left side of his cheek. Whenever he smiles, everyone's hearts melt and they are willing to do whatever he wants.
But this time, the old marquis seemed very determined and didn't give him any chance to get away with it: "Stop. You haven't been to the study for a month. What book do you have to read now? Stay and listen."
Zong Jincheng quickly looked at the old lady, pleading with his eyes: "Grandma..."
However, his grandmother, who always loved him, did not help this time and said, "Be good, Jincheng. Your grandfather has something to tell you."
"All right."
Zong Jincheng, who had failed in his attempt, had a look of dejection written all over his face.
Seeing the little devil getting into trouble, Xu Wan was so happy. If it weren't for her excellent acting skills, she would have laughed out loud right now.
Zong Jincheng sensed her happiness and gave her a fierce look.
Xu Wan was not afraid at all and even gave him a smug look in return, exactly the same one he had given her when he provoked her just now.
Zong Jincheng became even angrier.
The old lady secretly observed the interaction between the two and said to the old marquis: "Marquis, I think your dream is reliable. Maybe Wan'er is the wife Zhao'er wants."
The old marquis also stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I think so too. Jincheng hasn't eaten such a stupid thing for a long time."
Xu Wan didn't understand what they were talking about.
But her intuition told her that it was not a good thing.
However, before she could open her mouth, the old lady took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and put it smoothly on her wrist.
The little devil beside him was stunned: "Grandma, this is your favorite bracelet!"
He stared at Xu Wan in disbelief, then looked at his grandmother, and remembered what someone had said to him: "As long as your stepmother marries you, you will never have a good life again."
Zong Jincheng clenched his fists, and his worry grew even greater.
It is true.
Xu Wan also realized the value of the bracelet. Before she could refuse, she saw the old lady take out... the housekeeper key from her sleeve.
Housekeeper Key...
Housekeeper Key!!
