Chapter 104 Where is my Ayuan who is causing trouble!
"Newcomer, cross the saddle!"
"Congratulations!"
"Bang!"
The noise was so loud, with congratulations from all directions, the sound of firecrackers, and the sound of ritual music... it was endless, making Jiang Keyu dazed.
"We have it all! Let's have fun together!"
The servants of the Xie Mansion picked up the wedding candies and scattered them around. The onlookers gathered together to catch and pick up the candies.
Strange hands were waving in the air, and red paper scraps symbolizing joy were falling, making Jiang Keyu's vision blurred.
Was he really mistaken? That was Ayuan, he just didn't want to admit it.
"My dear, let's go back."
Liu'an felt bad. Seeing the young lady getting married to someone else, even he felt uncomfortable, let alone her husband.
Jiang Keyu stood there stubbornly, allowing people to bump into her without saying a word, but she didn't know when her eyes turned red.
"My dear." Liu'an's nose felt sore, "Let's go back."
But what if? Jiang Keyu tightened her grip and muttered, "No way, I can't possibly be mistaken for Ayuan."
"Don't!"
Liu'an blocked him again with such force that his face turned hideous.
I finally behaved myself, why are you doing this again?
But Jiang Keyu was extremely stubborn, and it seemed that he could no longer stop her. Liu An gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "Do you want to delay the young lady again?"
Jiang Keyu suddenly froze, her eyes dull.
"The newcomer jumps over the fire basin!"
Under the gaze and blessings of countless people, the newlyweds went through one ceremony after another together, but they did not feel it was tedious, but only felt joy.
After a moment of confusion, Jiang Keyu lowered her head.
"It's already like this." Liu'an sighed, "My dear, let's go."
Jiang Keyu lay motionless, dazed and dejected. He walked in whatever direction someone pushed him, like a dead leaf blown by the wind onto the water, drifting away with the water.
Lu'an pulled him out of the crowd and forcibly dragged him away.
Along the way, many people passed by them in the opposite direction.
"Don't you look at the road?"
Jiang Keyu was absent-minded and bumped head-on into a man turning at the intersection.
"I'm sorry." Liu'an apologized quickly.
"The road is so wide, I can't see!" The man who was hit refused to give in, and his good mood disappeared.
"Forget it."
Before Liu'an could speak again, the man accompanying the man lowered his voice and reminded him, "I heard that the daughter of the Duke's Mansion is getting married to the young master of the Xie family. If you congratulate us, you will get a reward. We missed the Duke's Mansion's one, so don't miss the Xie Mansion's one for such a small matter."
"What did you say?"
Jiang Keyu suddenly looked up and spoke, startling the two people who were whispering with their heads down.
The man who was hit became more and more angry. "My eyesight is not very good, but my ears are very sharp!"
"My dear!"
Caught off guard, Jiang Keyu suddenly turned back and Liu'an didn't even have time to react.
Liu'an was bewildered. "What did you just say?"
"Isn't it just to get some good luck and a little reward?" Two passersby were stunned. "Is it necessary to run so fast?"
*
The music stopped abruptly.
Song Baoyuan, who was still sitting in the sedan chair, waited for a moment before slowly releasing her hands that were covering her ears.
The sudden silence made her feel particularly strange, as if her ears had been broken at some moment.
She couldn't feel the atmosphere of a happy event and couldn't help feeling uneasy, but the red veil that blocked her vision restricted all her thoughts, leaving her confused.
Suddenly, in her blurred vision, the curtain of the sedan chair was roughly lifted.
No, Song Baoyuan was slightly stunned.
Before the five-fingered shadows attacked her, she hurriedly lifted her veil, and a strange but burly man appeared before her.
"You!"
As soon as she said a word, the strange man covered her mouth with a white cloth, tied her hands and feet, and dragged her out of the sedan chair.
Song Baoyuan opened her eyes wide in fear.
When did we arrive in the wilderness?
Qiao Yin and Qiao Yue were nowhere to be seen, and only she and four strange men were here, with a big pit in front of them.
"I'm sorry, young lady." The man who dragged her said coldly, "We are just following orders."
Song Baoyuan struggled hard, but her strength was no match for the strong man in front of her, and she was pushed into the pit without mercy.
“Ahem!”
He fell into a pit and the dirt got into his ears and nose.
Immediately afterwards, four strange men began to shovel soil to fill the pit, and poured shovelfuls of soil on Song Baoyuan.
“Mmmmm!”
Song Baoyuan struggled to turn over, but mud hit her head and face, and she couldn't even open her eyes.
Her struggle seemed to make her sink deeper into the pit.
She knew clearly that she was being buried, but she didn't know why.
She gradually felt suffocated.
…
"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Bow to your parents twice!"
"couple……"
"Xie Yuchao!"
This was the first time Jiang Keyu called out this name that annoyed him.
Amidst the clamor of the crowd, this loud shout, even though mixed with anger, still failed to attract the attention of most people.
But Xie Yuchao heard it and knew who it was, so he was not surprised at all.
But he just glanced cautiously at the person in front of him and ignored the shout.
"Xie Yuchao!"
After shouting the second time, Jiang Keyu had already taken advantage of the chaos at the door to rush into Xie's house. His sudden appearance made him more conspicuous than the bride and groom.
The people who were talking all around were inevitably confused and became much quieter.
Xie Mingru, who was sitting alone in the hall, frowned and glanced sideways with anger. There was dissatisfaction in his eyes as if he was questioning: Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on him?
Steward Lin was shocked. Ever since this Jiang Shaoqing appeared near Xie's house, they had sent people to keep an eye on him. They were not relieved until they saw him leave. How could he come back and attack them suddenly?
The joyous atmosphere suddenly became strange.
"Jiang Shaoqing?"
The common people who were outside Xie's mansion didn't recognize him, but most of the guests inside were officials appointed by the imperial court, and most of them recognized him.
"Could it be that Jiang Shaoqing went to the wrong place for a wedding?" Du Daxueshi smiled and walked forward, trying to pull him away, turning this scene into a minor episode. "Look at him, he smells of alcohol, how much did he drink?"
"Xie Yuchao!"
Jiang Keyu ignored Du Daxueshi who came to smooth things over, and pushed him away without any hesitation, staring at Xie Yuchao who didn't dare to look at him, perhaps because he felt guilty or something else.
"Who did you marry?"
Xie Mingru glanced to his side, and Butler Lin stepped back silently.
What is meant to come will come, Xie Yuchao thought.
He took the hand of the bride who seemed to be hesitant, patted it soothingly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't worry, I'm here."
The bride under the red veil was unaware of the situation and inevitably felt uneasy, so she hid behind the person next to her.
"I thought that even if you didn't consider her feelings, you would still be respectable." Xie Yuchao turned around and said coldly, "Now that she is my wife, don't even think about doing anything wrong."
"I asked you who you married!"
Jiang Keyu strode forward, but was surrounded by servants from the Xie Mansion.
The onlookers were confused.
"What are you talking about!" Grand Scholar Du's smile froze. He reached out again, trying to forcibly pull the man away. "Jiang Shaoqing is drunk. Come sit next to me and don't ruin this happy day."
Jiang Keyu pressed forward, "Since you want to marry the Duke's daughter, then where is Ayuan?"
Xie Yuchao frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
As soon as he said this, Jiang Keyu's mind suddenly became clear. She looked past him and looked at Xie Mingru who was calm and composed in the hall.
He asked gloomily, "Where is my Ayuan?"
No matter how fair, strict, and magnanimous this person pretends to be, Jiang Keyu knows best how ruthless he is and how good he is at eradicating the roots. If...
"Where is my Ayuan!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xie Mingru sighed.
"I don't know what Jiang Shaoqing is talking about, but the smell of alcohol on Jiang Shaoqing is really a bit exaggerated."
He said helplessly, "Today is my son's wedding day, a rare happy event in our family. Jiang Shaoqing, you can drink as much as you want, but if you want to use this as an excuse to cause trouble, don't blame me for not entertaining you well."
"I'm asking you where Ayuan is!" Jiang Keyu was anxious and couldn't calm down. "You'd better not do anything to her!"
These words were incoherent, and he suddenly changed the subject, which made Xie Yuchao slightly stunned. A bold and absurd idea suddenly arose in his mind.
He turned around and his eyes fell on the bride who looked a little embarrassed. He actually had the urge to lift her veil.
impossible.
"What are you doing for no apparent reason?" Xie Yuchao turned his head and asked.
You are always so inexplicable!
The words of blame suddenly rang in Jiang Keyu's ears, making him dazed.
"For nearly twenty years, I owe my son a lot." Xie Mingru slowly stood up. "Now that he is getting married, and marrying the woman he loves, I absolutely cannot let anyone ruin it. Jiang Shaoqing, although you are drunk, I can forgive you, but if you still can't sober up, I really will not be polite."
Everyone in the Xie Mansion stood ready with sticks in hand, just waiting for the order.
Jiang Keyu was undoubtedly drunk, and it was not impossible that he was talking nonsense.
"Xie Mingru!"
A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. Lord Xie is in a high position and has great power. Even the current emperor would not shout at him so rudely.
Jiang Keyu didn't care about that. "If you act stupid again, I won't be polite either!"
"Oh."
Xie Mingru seemed to have heard a joke. He glanced at the ground coldly and said indifferently, "Go away."
Everyone in the Xie Mansion took action immediately and walked towards Jiang Keyu aggressively, trying to force him back and drive him out of the Xie Mansion.
"My dear!"
Liu'an squeezed out of the crowd, but was stopped by a servant in front of the gate of Xie's mansion.
But just a moment later, another group of people rushed in and the servants in Xie's house were unable to stop them.
He is from the Dali Temple.
"Boss!"
Although the situation was still unclear, Yan Zhi and Tang Yuan still stood on Jiang Keyu's left and right.
This scene and this excitement are obviously no small matter.
"Are you crazy?" Xie Yuchao couldn't hide his surprise.
Is this a marriage robbery?
There is no reason to openly misappropriate officers and soldiers.
"Tell me where Ayuan is!"
Jiang Keyu walked up the stairs step by step. With people from the Dali Temple present, how could an ordinary servant stop them?
"Jiang Shaoqing!" Grand Secretary Du stepped forward again. "It's such a great day, why do you have to do this?"
Jiang Keyu said with a cold face, "Get out of the way."
"I am giving you this advice with good intentions. You brought officers and soldiers from the Dali Temple to openly break into the Prime Minister's residence without any reason. If this alone is reported to His Majesty, you will be held accountable. You won't be able to escape the blame by saying you were drunk," said Grand Secretary Du in a low voice.
“Get out of the way!”
The cabinet minister was a higher-ranking official than the Dali Temple's Shaoqing. Du thought that the minister would at least give him some face, but he didn't expect him to be so rude.
"Jiang Shaoqing! Chao'er calls me uncle, and I watched him grow up. I can't bear to see you ruin his wedding. If you continue to be so overbearing and mischievous, we will have to call in the soldiers!"
"It has nothing to do with you, get out of the way!"
“No!”
“Squeak!”
It was the sound of a long sword being unsheathed.
"Boss!"
"Jiang Keyu!"
Jiang Keyu casually pulled out the sword that Yan Zhi was carrying and put it on the neck of Du Daxueshi. The latter was so shocked that he froze. Xie Yuchao opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and even Yan Zhi was frightened.
"What are you doing!" Du Yuan rushed out from the crowd of onlookers. "You are just a mere Junior Official of the Dali Temple, and you dare to do this to my father!"
He was so angry that he jumped up and down. "So many people are watching, and you disrupted their wedding for no reason. One person wasn't enough, so you called a whole group of people. Now you dare to use your sword against them! How can you be so lawless under the feet of the emperor!"
“Get out of the way!”
Jiang Keyu insisted on doing so, staring at Xie Mingru with a determination to fight to the death.
Xie Yuchao looked at the bride behind him worriedly and held her hand even tighter.
"How dare you!"
Scholar Du asked through gritted teeth.
Because he was slow to move, the sword had already penetrated the flesh of his neck, leaving blood marks.
How could he not be scared? This kid was actually serious!
"Enough!" Xie Mingru finally spoke.
He stood tall and firm.
"Jiang Shaoqing, I don't know what has led you to act so recklessly and speak nonsense, but you'd better think it over. You trespassed and caused trouble in a private residence, summoned soldiers without reason, and publicly assaulted an official. Which of these actions isn't a crime punishable by dismissal and imprisonment? Furthermore, as Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, you knowingly broke the law and abused your power, which is an even greater crime!"
"Where is Ayuan?"
Jiang Keyu knew this man's methods too well, and had only one thought in her mind, that the longer the delay, the more danger Ayuan would be in.
Xie Yuchao was slightly startled, looking down at the woman's hand he was holding tightly. At first, she was still a little confused and scared, but she suddenly became very calm.
He suddenly let go.
Ayuan, it is impossible for her to remain indifferent or even stay out of the matter when others are in trouble.
He knew it very well and had to admit and accept it.
Especially... to that person.
It's impossible for her to be calm.
Xie Yuchao retreated in confusion.
The moment he let go of her hand, the bride became visibly panicked.
"Chao'er, what are you doing?" Xie Mingru frowned slightly.
Xie Yuchao followed the direction of the voice and looked at his father sitting in the hall, his eyes dark.
"Where is my bride?" he asked. "Where is my wife?"
"She is right in front of you." Xie Mingru affirmed.
"She's not."
Xie Yuchao kept shaking his head.
And my back feels cold.
“What have you done!”
