Lin Yan and Xie Muqing exchanged a glance.
A bad feeling arose in their hearts.
To avoid gossip from the villagers watching the spectacle, Lin Yan asked the wedding procession to pause its performance, stepped out from the procession, and loudly announced:
"Fellow villagers! Listen to me first! Because my aunt is my husband's cousin, according to the customs of the capital, the groom's procession has to play music at the door for a longer time, which is different from our Northwest customs. Please forgive me! As an apology, feel free to take this basket of wedding candies! These are all four-colored wedding candies that I brought back from the capital for you all. Let's share in the joy!"
The furthest place the villagers present had ever been was the town.
They had no idea what the rules of the capital were.
She also mentioned that the wedding candies were brought back from the prefectural city. They didn't care whether the bride came out or not; they all rushed to grab the wedding candies.
The wedding procession continued with the gongs and drums.
Take advantage of this break.
Lin Yan and Xie Muqing quietly climbed over the wall from the side.
The courtyard was quiet.
The door to the west wing was wide open.
The two cautiously entered the house, only to find Wang Shi and others lying on the ground.
But Xie Li was nowhere to be seen.
Lin Yan's heart tightened, and she hurriedly went forward to check on them. She was relieved to find that they had just fainted.
It took about half a cup of tea.
Wang, Xie Rui, and the others gradually regained consciousness.
Upon seeing Lin Yan and Xie Muqing, Madam Wang's eyes immediately reddened, and she choked out incoherently:
"Li'er has been kidnapped!"
"What?! Where's Yang Chia-yi?"
"Ahem, brother, sister-in-law, Brother Yang has already gone to chase after them."
Hearing Xie Rui say that Yang Jiayi was with them, Lin Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, with Yang Jiayi with you, Sister Xie Li will be fine. My husband and I will go after her now. Remember not to open the door for now."
She was worried that something might go wrong at the wedding, so she left him to protect her, and unexpectedly, he came in very handy.
Just then.
A sound suddenly came from the courtyard.
Before they could even leave the room, Yang Jiayi had already returned carrying the unconscious Xie Li.
"Li'er!"
Upon seeing Xie Li return unharmed, Madam Wang burst into tears.
She was still shaken by what had just happened.
Seeing Yang Jiayi's panting and travel-worn appearance, Lin Yan knew that he had endured a very difficult journey.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Yang!"
"Madam, you're too kind. It's what I should do. Miss Xie was just drugged and is fine. It's all thanks to your fast horse, Madam. Otherwise, if we had been a step slower and they had successfully entered Huangshi County, we would have been doomed."
Fortunately, Yang Jiayi feeds Zhui Feng Zhu Yue every day.
They were already familiar with him, and only when he rode them did they show any resistance, speeding all the way.
"Huangshi County, it seems that Yuan Xu is still incorrigible!"
When Yuan Xu was mentioned, Lin Yan narrowed her eyes, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.
It seems she has to have a good "talk" with Yuan Xu tonight!
"Hmm..."
At this moment, Xie Li finally woke up slowly.
She was shocked to find everyone in the room staring at her when she woke up.
"Xiao Mu, Xiao Yan, what brings you here? Has the wedding procession arrived? I think I heard some noise..."
Because she was under the influence of a drug when she was abducted, she had no idea what was happening to her.
"just……"
She looked completely bewildered.
Lin Yan guessed that she was unaware of what had just happened, so she promptly interrupted Wang Shi.
"Oh right! Let's hurry up and get ready to leave and get into the bridal sedan chair. Uncle is already waiting at the door."
The wedding procession beat drums and gongs outside for half an hour until their arms were sore, and finally the gate to the courtyard opened.
Xie Rui carried Xie Li, who was dressed in a red wedding gown and covered with a veil, out the door and helped her into the bridal sedan chair...
Although the villagers present could not see the bride's face, her exquisite and elaborate wedding dress caught their eye!
"This wedding dress is so beautiful! I've never seen such a beautiful wedding dress before!"
"Yes! They really are from the capital, they're quite particular!"
"What good is a beautiful wedding dress if she's still a discarded wife with two children to support? Just wait, Ye Jun is only interested in the novelty. In two years, she'll be divorced again..."
Someone in the crowd said something like that.
The sound was so loud that it could be heard even in an environment filled with the sounds of gongs and drums.
The crowd suddenly fell silent, and the lively atmosphere turned eerie.
Ye Jun was already good-looking.
Wearing his groom's attire today, riding a tall horse, he looks even more dashing and elegant, like a noble young master.
This young and handsome man was willing to marry an older woman who was divorced, had two children, and was several years older than him.
Many people were indeed indignant and felt a pang of resentment, so once someone started it, more and more people began to say the same thing.
Of course, everyone in Xiaolin Village had seen Xie Li's appearance.
Naturally, she wouldn't think she was unworthy of Ye Jun.
Moreover, Lin Yan was the employer who paid them, so they did not participate in these people's sarcastic remarks.
Lin Yan gave the speaker a cold glance.
He was a stranger in the wedding procession, presumably a distant relative of the maternal grandmother's family.
The man was frightened by her piercing gaze.
He immediately shrank his neck and hid himself in the crowd.
Upon hearing this, Xie Li, inside the sedan chair, bit her lip in embarrassment and clenched her hands tightly on her lap!
