Chapter 33 What truth are you talking about?
Chu Yunqing and Jiang Jinnian were both a little embarrassed, and felt a vague sense of discomfort as if they were being ridiculed.
Chu Yunqing laughed dryly, "Princess, you're joking."
Xiao Baozhu ignored her and set her eyes on Lu Zhiran.
"You're quite interesting."
Lu Zhiran raised her eyes and met the other person's interested gaze.
"I thought you were a pushover, but after meeting you today, I didn't expect you to be so different from the rumors. I like the way you're aggressive."
Lu Zhiran was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"The princess is also very different from the rumors."
Xiao Baozhu asked in return, "What am I like in the rumors?"
Lu Zhiran bluntly said, "He is arrogant and domineering, and looks down on everyone."
When she said this, many people around her gasped in shock.
She is so bold in saying this, she is not afraid of offending this ancestor.
Chu Yunqing and Jiang Jinnian showed a gloating look, just waiting for her to be attacked by Xiao Baozhu.
But Lu Zhiran knew that she would not make trouble.
In her previous life, Lu Zhiran had only a few dealings with Xiao Baozhu. It was those few dealings that made Lu Zhiran realize that she was not as overbearing and tyrannical as everyone thought. On the contrary, she was a kind and gentle person at heart.
Xiao Baozhu didn't get angry. She asked curiously, "What about now? What do you think of me?"
Lu Zhiran said seriously, "The princess is quick-witted and straightforward."
Xiao Baozhu looked her up and down, as if trying to gauge the truth in her words.
She snorted, "You're quite good at flattering people."
Her tone was relaxed, she wasn't angry at all, but seemed to be in a good mood.
Obviously, Lu Zhiran's flattery was right.
Chu Yunqing and Jiang Jinnian were dumbfounded, and everyone else was also a little confused.
Once, a young lady was talking about Xiao Baozhu behind her back, and unfortunately, the person she was talking about heard it. Xiao Baozhu directly ordered the young lady to slap herself in the face, and her face was broken.
Now, how come this princess has become so easy to talk to?
Chu Yunqing naturally didn't want to see Lu Zhiran being treated differently by Xiao Baozhu, so she spoke again, trying to regain her composure, "Princess, I'm truly flattered that you're here today..."
Xiao Baozhu said bluntly: "I didn't come here for you."
Chu Yunqing's expression froze for a moment, and Jiang Jinnian immediately responded, "The princess must have heard the story of today's bride and groom and was moved by it, so she came to watch the ceremony in person."
Chu Yunqing quickly adjusted his facial expression, "My brother and Sister-in-law Shuning's love story is truly touching and moving."
Xiao Baozhu rolled her eyes, "You have more than one sister-in-law, what's so touching about it?"
Chu Yunqing: ...
Jiang Jinnian: ...
Others: ...
What nonsense are you talking about.
The corners of Lu Zhiran's lips curled up uncontrollably.
Only Xiao Baozhu dared to say this. If it were anyone else, they would have been criticized long ago.
The reason why Xiao Baozhu came was not because she was bored, but because she accidentally learned that her seventh brother would also come today, and he would do something big.
What the Seventh Prince is going to do will surely be earth-shattering and earth-shattering.
Last time he was at someone's banquet, he flipped the table over. What was he going to do now?
She pressed the question again and again, but the Seventh Prince remained tight-lipped. This made her even more anxious, so she simply came here on her own.
No matter how aggrieved Chu Yunqing felt, he could only put on a smile and flatter.
"No matter what, we are honored to have the princess here. Princess, please come this way. This time, the Marquis's wedding banquet will feature the finest Biluochun tea. Please do me the honor of tasting it."
Xiao Baozhu blurted out, "Is it on credit?"
Chu Yunqing: ...
There was no point in chatting today.
After a long while, she managed to utter, "Princess, you're joking."
Xiao Baozhu wanted to say something, but she heard a light cough from the side. She tried to hold it in, but swallowed her words regretfully.
Lu Zhiran caught this small detail and moved her gaze to the maid next to her.
The person was dressed in ordinary clothes, had an ordinary appearance, and had slightly dark skin. She was very inconspicuous, but Lu Zhiran's gaze lingered on her face for two longer breaths.
It’s her?
Lu Zhiran was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it for a while, she felt not so surprised anymore.
She appeared here, and she must be here for Zhao Shuning.
Jiang was originally socializing among a group of noble ladies. When she learned that Xiao Baozhu had come, she hurried over and flattered Xiao Baozhu. Xiao Baozhu was so fed up with it that she quickly found an excuse to leave.
If she hadn't wanted to wait and see what tricks her seventh brother would play, she would have left long ago.
The sounds of music and drums outside gradually approached, and the bride's sedan chair arrived.
Zhao Shuning had no parents' home and was married in a separate courtyard of the marquis's mansion.
Chu Yian was handsome, with a tall and straight figure, and the wedding dress made him look even more handsome and elegant.
Zhao Shuning was tall, and the wedding dress made by Jinxiu Pavilion was exquisite, which weakened her original heroic spirit and added a bit of softness and grace.
She was wearing a veil and was led forward by Chu Yian, and they looked an especially beautiful couple.
The streets were filled with onlookers. After all, the story of the two had already spread throughout the streets and alleys. Their union was legendary in itself, and it was even rarer to hold a wedding banquet like theirs.
Chu Dingfeng and Jiang were both dressed respectably, sitting at the head of the table, looking at the two with a smile.
Today, not only Lord Li and Madam Li came to the banquet, but even the most favored Ninth Princess came, which made Chu Dingfeng and Jiang very proud.
Just as the eunuch was about to sing the ceremony, a high-pitched and urgent voice came from outside.
"Oh no, oh no, someone is causing trouble at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion!"
This shout was so loud that it drowned out all the other sounds present, and the waiter was also stuck.
The smiles on Chu Dingfeng and Jiang's faces froze instantly, followed by a burst of anger.
Who is this ignorant person spreading such news at this critical moment? Do they have any sense at all?
Chu Dingfeng glared at Jiang angrily. Jiang was the one who arranged everything about the wedding banquet, and it was her responsibility that something went wrong.
Jiang also felt embarrassed, so she immediately signaled to Nanny Wen to deal with the matter quickly.
She forced a smile and said, "These are just some insignificant little things. Don't worry about them. Let's continue the ceremony."
Everyone had to suppress their curiosity.
The gossip in Xiao Baozhu's eyes burned more and more fiercely. This must have been done by her seventh brother.
He must have another trick up his sleeve, so all I have to do is wait and see.
The eunuch cleared his throat and said, "I bow to heaven and earth—"
At this moment, the loud voice just now was heard again.
"Oh no, oh no! Someone bumped into the gate of the Marquis' Mansion and died!"
The eunuch was so frightened by the voice that he choked and coughed before he even finished his words, and there was a murmur of discussion among the guests.
Chu Dingfeng and Jiang, who had just adjusted their expressions, froze there again. Chu Yian and Zhao Shuning under the veil also had ugly expressions.
