Chapter 147 The Second Miss is Found
Lu Guanxuan was completely confused. "What, what's going on?"
"Master Lu, are you still playing dumb? This is the bride your Lu Mansion sent! If her veil hadn't accidentally fallen off during the wedding ceremony, our Jiang family would have been marrying a lowly maid!"
Lu Guanxuan staggered and almost fell.
"This is impossible! How could we do such a ridiculous thing?"
"The bride's veil fell in front of everyone, and all the guests present can testify to this! Our Jiang family has never wronged your Lu family in the slightest!"
Lu Guanxuan's expression changed several times and he was completely speechless.
Seeing this, Jiang Yongkang finally let out a sigh of relief.
Lu Juncheng thought of something and his expression changed several times. In the end, he just lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word.
Lu Guanxuan turned to Fang and asked with gritted teeth, "What's going on?"
Fang was completely numb, she had no idea what was going on!
Things were completely out of control, and she had a very bad feeling in her heart.
"I have been busy in front and have not been to the bridal chamber to check. No, I don't know what is going on."
Lu Guanxuan was angry, “You don’t know this, you don’t know that, is this how you run the family?”
Fang's face turned red after being scolded.
She stepped forward, raised her hand and slapped Qiuyue several times.
"You little bitch, tell me, what's going on? Where is the second young lady?"
The effect of Qiuyue's mute potion had not yet worn off, so she could not speak. She could only shake her head frantically and whimper.
"You treacherous slut, wait and see how I deal with you!"
There was a murderous look in Fang's eyes. Qiuyue was so frightened that she trembled and could only kowtow and beg for mercy.
Jiang Yongkang shouted, "Stop pretending! Hand the person over now. Our Jiang family has already paid the betrothal gift, but you can't hand him over. This is fraud. I will definitely report you to the emperor!"
Jiang Xingyi folded his arms and said nonchalantly, "Lu Yingxi is already mine. If she doesn't marry me, no one will want her in the future. While I'm still willing to marry her, hand her over quickly. Otherwise, if I don't agree, she'll have no choice but to become a nun in a temple!"
In front of so many guests, Lu Guanxuan lost all his dignity and face.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and find that rebellious girl!"
I must skin her alive!
Fang immediately sent someone to look for him.
According to the plan, Xier should have left the city by now, but the bride who was supposed to be Lu Zhiran was suddenly replaced by Qiuyue, which made Fang feel deeply uneasy.
I just hope nothing unexpected happens.
The servants searched everywhere in the mansion but found nothing. Lu Guanxuan's face became more and more ugly.
"Lord Lu, could it be that your daughter has run away from her marriage?"
"That must be the case. This maid has obviously been drugged and is acting as a deception."
"Lord Lu, your daughter is truly audacious."
The guests' discussions reached Lu Guanxuan's ears, and his head buzzed.
That rebellious girl clearly wanted to marry into the Jiang family in the first place, but now she has caused such a shameful thing as running away from the marriage. Where does this put the reputation of the Lu family?
Jiang Xingyi was furious. "Call the police! Call the police now! We must bring her back! My Jiang family has gone through the formalities of three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts. You, the Lu family, must send her back to me no matter what."
After a pause, he added meaningfully, "If it really doesn't work, I can barely accept using other young ladies from the Lu family as replacements."
It would be best to let Lu Zhiran replace Lu Yingxi.
Lu Guanxuan understood her implication and immediately became furious.
He was still hoping that Sister Ran would find another wealthy family to earn a bright future for the Lu family. How could he let Jiang Xingyi, a toad, get away with it?
The Jiang family was really about to send someone to report to the police, but Lu Guanxuan hurriedly stopped them.
This matter is already embarrassing enough. If it gets to the government, it will be really embarrassing.
Just as the two sides were arguing, there was a commotion outside the crowd.
"Found it, found it, the Second Miss found it!"
Fang's expression froze instantly, and the ominous premonition in her heart became stronger.
Lu Guanxuan was filled with anger, "Where is that rebellious girl? Bring her up to me!"
The crowd automatically made way, but the person who came surprised everyone.
He Yun bowed to Lu Guanxuan and said, "Lord Lu, just now at the foot of Helian Mountain, my prince encountered a suspicious carriage. Thinking of the bandit incident a while ago, he asked a few more questions. The other party quickly revealed their true intentions, and then he discovered that the carriage contained your family's second daughter in disguise. My prince was worried that your second daughter would be kidnapped by criminals and something would happen, so he specially ordered his subordinates to escort her back. She is now in the carriage. The criminal who kidnapped your second daughter has also been brought here. Come, bring her up!"
He Yun's words made Fang's eyes go dark and she almost fainted.
It’s this Prince Jin again!
Why does he always have to interfere?
If someone said that there was no arrangement or instruction from Lu Zhiran, she would not believe it at all!
Xier was caught while escaping from her marriage, and it is impossible for her to leave again. Her already difficult situation will only get worse. How can she remedy the situation?
Before Fang could come up with a plan, a man tied up was brought up.
He was a burly man in his thirties, dressed as a rickshaw driver, and looked quite heroic.
Fang's pupils shrank slightly. He was not the person she had arranged to escort Xier away. Who was he?
Lu Guanxuan shouted angrily, "Who are you? Who gave you the courage to hold Miss Lu hostage?"
The man lowered his head and said nothing.
The trusted nanny whispered to Fang, "He is Li Genmao, the youngest son of the coachman Old Li. Old Li broke his leg recently, and he has been driving the coach for the second young lady."
Fang's heart tightened. She sensed a greater conspiracy was about to unfold, and she quickly said, "Master, this thief is so audacious! He deserves to be beaten to death!"
Jiang Yongkang sneered, "The matter hasn't been clarified yet, and you're so eager to beat him to death. Are you trying to silence him?"
Lu Guanxuan's face looked very ugly due to the pressure.
Jiang Xingyi stared at the handsome man with a sinister look in his eyes.
"What's there to judge? They're clearly a pair of adulterers! I'm afraid that bitch has been unclean for a long time. She's so debauched, she deserves to be thrown into a pond!"
Jiang Xingyi felt extremely humiliated when he thought about the fact that he had slept with a woman who had been slept with by someone else.
These words were filthy and vicious, and Fang was so angry that her face turned blue.
"You're talking nonsense! My Xi'er is pure and innocent, a well-educated and well-mannered lady from a noble family. How could she do something like elope?"
"Pure as ice? If she were pure as ice, would she seduce me in a temple? Would she run off with this wild man on our wedding day?"
Fang was so angry that she wanted to rip his mouth off. "Xi'er couldn't have eloped with someone. She was clearly being held hostage by this thief. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Jin came to her aid and saved her life."
Even if she deliberately ran away from the marriage, it would sound better than eloping with someone. She would never let Xier bear such a crime.
