Chapter 15
(Twenty-nine) Newly Married (I)
I squatted in the cold cell in a daze, sitting silently, cursing the hateful Yunniang silently.
Suddenly, a group of women rushed into the cell and began to put on my wedding dress.
"What on earth are you doing? Why do you have to wear red clothes before beheading?" I was pressed to the ground by this group of women, and they hurriedly put red makeup on me.
Afterwards, an unknown cloth was stuffed into my mouth, and then my whole body was tied up like a big dumpling and carried out of the prison sideways.
Then, I seemed to be carried into a room, and it was very noisy inside.
Then, the cloth covering my eyes was removed.
What comes into view are many strangers.
Then, I saw the young marquis in a red wedding gown.
When the young marquis saw me, he looked like he was experiencing a pupil earthquake.
Then, I saw the red lottery ticket in the young marquis's hand, and the other end was held in the hand of my sister, Princess Chunyang from Baihua City.
Then, a pair of hands hugged me who was tied up like a dumpling.
"Shang Shisan, from today on, you will be my wife." I turned my head following the voice and saw the man who caught me a few nights ago, looking at the young marquis provocatively.
"What?" I muttered softly.
"Your mother, the Lord of Baihua City, promised you to me." The man raised his eyebrows at me.
"Who are you?" I asked bravely.
"I am Wei Zhen, the Prince of Pingnan, the son of the Minister of State Wei Bai." The strange yet familiar face smiled at me.
I turned my head back expressionlessly.
But he was hit hard again.
I saw Yunniang in a red dress.
Yunniang seemed to have cried, her eyes were red and swollen.
"Why are you here dressed like this?" I asked Yunniang.
"Yunniang is going to marry my father, the Minister of State Wei Bai, as a concubine."
For the third time in a short period of time, I was hit hard.
I turned around and yelled at Yunniang, "Are you crazy?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Yunniang's lips trembled and then tears fell.
I ignored Yunniang's tears and continued to roar, "You've really gone to this extent just to be my mother?"
Yunniang's tears fell even harder.
"Go to hell, Shang Shisan!" Yunniang finally roared.
Only then did I realize how famous Yunniang was in the world.
"Who in the world doesn't know that in Hebi City there lives a woman called Yunniang, a world-renowned beauty?"
I remembered the servants in the young marquis's new mansion saying this to me casually when they were fighting crickets with me.
When I heard what he said, I immediately became arrogant.
"Then you know who I am?"
The servant looked at me and shook his head.
"Aren't you the female relative brought here by the young marquis?"
I shook my head seriously. "I'm the daughter of the mayor of Baihua City, which is next door to Hebi City." I paused, then added, "I'm Jian Yunniang's personal maid. I'm amazing, right? I know all those celebrities you mentioned. I guess my connections are quite extensive, hehe."
The servant burst out laughing.
"Yes, yes, you are the daughter of the Lord of Baihua City, and I am the Emperor's youngest son, and a third-rank servant in the young Marquis's mansion."
After he left, I was still wondering if this person was mocking me?
I still remember that day when I was strolling around the Marquis's Mansion with my four-legged version 4.0.
Why did my giant cricket become a four-legged version 4.0?
Because two of the first three versions were snatched away by the young marquis and one died in battle, so it came to the four-legged 4.0 version.
Moreover, this four-legged 4.0 version will soon be snatched away by the domineering young marquis.
The young marquis is like Qin Shi Huang all day long, renovating the Afang Palace and hiding crickets. I don't know why he keeps so many crickets.
Every time the young marquis took away my crickets, I had to go to the mountains to find new crickets.
And I always find a bigger cricket to beat my last cricket.
If the young marquis loses the game, he will shamelessly snatch my big cricket away.
I could only look for a stronger cricket with a sad face to defeat my previous cricket.
From this I came to the conclusion: indeed, life is about constantly having the courage to climb to the top and challenge your previous self.
What’s more, what I can’t accept the most is that every time the young marquis takes away my big crickets, he changes their names.
From the original four legs to his four-legged version.
It feels as strange as if an upright martial arts master suddenly went astray and turned to evil overnight.
Every one of them has four legs, and they are transformed from four legs.
And the goal of each four-legged beast is to kill the new four-legged beast.
What a strange feeling.
I stood in the hall somewhat dazed, but my mind began to wander outdoors.
(30) Newly Married (II)
Suddenly, I came out of my trance and realized a terrible truth:
The young marquis whom I love is going to become my brother-in-law.
My good friend Yunniang is going to become my mother-in-law.
My mother promised me to the young marquis's mortal enemy, Wei Zhen, the Prince of Pingnan.
While I was in a daze, Wei Zhen cut the rope on my body with a knife.
The young marquis stepped forward and said, "You and your son are so shameless that you actually forcibly took a commoner girl as your wife or concubine."
Then, I heard my mother's voice, which I hadn't heard for a long time: "What's it to you if I marry my daughter?"
It turned out to be my mother, walking into the festive lobby behind two maids.
"Since ancient times, a girl's marriage has been arranged by her parents and the matchmaker. I want to marry my daughter to the King of Pingnan. Who dares to say no?"
Afterwards, Yunniang was forcibly pinned to the ground by several women who looked like matchmakers.
"I...I, Yunniang..." Yunniang's voice was already breaking down in tears. "I, Yunniang, voluntarily marry the Minister of State Wei Bai as a concubine."
I looked at Yunniang crying bitterly, and felt a mixture of emotions.
"No, Yunniang doesn't want to get married." I muttered and wanted to go forward and help Yunniang up.
But Wei Zhen held it firmly in place with one hand.
"I'm kindly advising you not to meddle in other people's business, Shang Shisan. Be careful about the safety of you and your mother." Wei Zhen whispered in my ear.
I turned my head to look at Wei Zhen's profile and whispered, "Your family is so shameless."
Then, Wei Zhen smiled at me and raised his hand to make a gesture.
The festive sound of suona rang out.
A red veil was placed on my head.
The last time I took a look, I saw the young marquis with red eyes, he was looking at me intently.
Then, my vision was obscured.
I am still a little confused at the moment, probably because the shock I suffered in such a short period of time was too great. I just feel very confused at the moment.
I feel like everything around me is in chaos.
I can still hear Yunniang's sobbing words ringing in my ears: "I, Yunniang, a commoner, voluntarily marry the Minister of State Wei Bai as a concubine."
The light shines on my face through the red veil, and I can still seem to see the young marquis's red eyes.
My whole body was shaking violently.
It seemed like two women came over to me, and they forcefully helped me stand up.
What is the situation now?
My head is spinning.
It's very noisy around.
The voices around were very noisy, and the sound of suona was also loud.
"My father was not good to my mother, so I have no desire for marriage. I just want to make money." Yunniang once leaned on the soft bed and said to me with a smile. The words seemed to float over from the horizon.
At that time, I thought it was just a casual understatement.
At this moment, my ears were filled with the sound of Yunniang crying and the polite voices of many people.
Their voices mingled and became a chaotic mess.
The sun shines on my face and my eyes are bright.
But I couldn't see anything.
I was pulled along for a few steps with staggering steps, and then returned to the familiar scene.
Familiar bowing process.
I was transported back to that tiny cell in a trance.
The young marquis once stood beside me like this, happily holding a red sign and standing by my side, and said to me cheerfully: "Hey, I'm just bored, and I see you're bored too, so I want to play a little fun with you. If you don't want to, forget it, forget it."
I turned around and looked at the person standing next to me. Judging from his figure, he was somewhat similar to the young marquis.
"Bow to heaven and earth!" I was held down and forced to kowtow.
"Bow to your parents twice!" For the second time, I was forced to kowtow.
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
This time, I tried to straighten my back. I didn't want to bow.
I heard a woman crying, and it sounded like Yunniang's crying.
Then I was pushed to the ground.
"Knock down on me!" A woman who looked like a nanny held my head and slammed it hard on the ground.
I felt a heat on my head.
I seemed to have hit my head and my forehead was bleeding.
Something warm slowly flowed down from my forehead.
