Chapter 204: Liao Fangru's highlight moment
"Hehe, I hope the prince is really so good, not boasting."
"This palace will never be able to tell a lie to Nian Zhen." Rong Chen said immediately.
After that, the two of them didn't say anything more, and late at night, Doctor Ge finished drinking the last drop of wine in the gourd, and then staggered back to the guest room to rest. Rong Chen also dismissed his subordinates and prepared to rest.
But at this time, Beiyang came back with a gloomy face and brought back a bad news: "Your Highness's three mothers-in-law who were guarded by the Liao family were all assassinated, and when the subordinates rushed to Cheng'anbo's Mansion, they had already been passive and didn't have time to stop them."
"What do you mean you didn't have time to stop it?"
Rong Chen's face immediately changed when he heard this, a cold color flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "It's just three inconsequential mothers-in-law, who will do anything to them?" Now this matter is becoming more and more complicated. β
"Your Highness, but when my subordinates were inspecting, they found this."
Beiyang said, and immediately took out a blue and green handkerchief, embroidered with a faint plum blossom, with a faint fragrance of magnolia flowers on it.
"This veil is actually very much like something that the young girl is carrying, but it appeared on those mothers-in-law, this matter is strange to the subordinates, so they brought it back, you can rest assured, no one from the Liao family found out."
When Rong Chen heard this, his eyes fell on the handkerchief very critically, he glanced down, and didn't see anything abnormal, and then, he stretched out two fingers and pinched the handkerchief.
As soon as he got it in his hand, he smelled a faint, familiar fragrance of magnolia.
This familiar fragrance instantly reminded Rong Chen of many stories from the past. But whose is it?
Thinking about it, his face suddenly changed.
"Your Highness, have you found anything?" Beiyang looked at his expression, and suddenly there was a hint of hope in his eyes.
Rong Chen slowly put away the handkerchief, and pinched it very tightly in his palm, little by little, and the last trace was not revealed.
"Don't tell anyone about this, especially Shen Nianzhen, have you heard it?" Rong Chen said word by word.
"Yes, lord." Although Beiyang didn't know why he did this, he was always right to follow orders.
Rong Chen sent him down, and then stayed alone in the study, quietly looking at the handkerchief in a daze.
The fragrance on the veil is Su Muwan's favorite, and it is also the incense she likes to use all year round, so he recognized it at once just now, and there is no other girl in Shangjing who has such a fragrance as her.
And this veil seems to be extremely ordinary, but in fact it is a rare Hangzhou embroidery, at least it is a tribute in the palace, how can there be such a thing on a few ordinary mothers-in-law? Inevitably, it was given to them by others.
And this person must have something to do with Su Muwan.
This matter was finally related to Su Muwan.
Rong Chen really didn't want to. He had tried his best to cut off his relationship with Su Muwan and not disturb her, why could these things always involve her?
Rong Chen suddenly felt very irritable in his heart.
β¦β¦
Liao's family finally quieted down in the second half of the night.
Nothing was said all night.
When the sky was bright, there was a mother-in-law to urge Liao Fangru to get up and dress up, she is a bride, she must get up early today, Shen Nianzhen slept with her, and naturally she was also woken up, she lay on the bed and closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened it again after a while, her eyes were already clear.
Then, she got out of bed quickly.
On the side, Liao Kanglan and Liao Yulan were also woken up, and the two of them opened their eyes in a daze and took a look, and actually saw that Shen Nianzhen was already dressed neatly, and the spirit of dressing up was neatly preparing for the next makeup, and the two of them quickly got up.
And Liao Fangru has been taken to bathe by the older grandmothers, this bath soaked for an hour before it ended, Liao Fangru felt that it was longer than the bath she had taken in her life, and even the last time she got married, she didn't have such a toss.
In this regard, the grandmothers explained it like this: "Girl, rules are rules! This time, the person you want to marry is Commander Shen! So how can it be the same? The Shen family took out their etiquette and faΓ§ade, we can't fall behind? Naturally, you have to show the greatest sincerity, you, don't complain. β
Liao Fangru listened as if she didn't understand, but the milk petals used for bathing were still very sweet.
It's easy to wait for the bath to finish, three or five mothers-in-law helped her out of the bathroom, and then put on a thick, very bright and dazzling wedding dress on the inside and outside of the three layers, Liao Fangru counted it, there were eight or nine pieces in total, and the thick clothes were worn on her small body, and she was almost out of breath.
Moreover, it is useless to protest.
The mother-in-law used that set of rhetoric again, persuading her to think about the Shen family.
Okay, okay, I will be a member of the Shen family in the future, and it's nothing to think about them. Liao Fangru comforted herself.
After getting dressed, Mrs. Liao came tremblingly under the support of the maids, took the comb in the hand of Xi Po, and combed her hair smooth and neat while reciting auspicious words.
Mrs. Liao wanted to pull her daughter's hair herself.
However, Shen Nianzhen stood up, and then said: "Old lady, let me do the matter of combing my hair, I know what kind of hairstyle I should comb, which can cover the scar, and make my aunt the most beautiful bride today." β
When Mrs. Liao heard this, she looked at the inch-long blue-brown scar on her daughter's snow-white forehead, and felt a little sad in her heart, but she still nodded at Shen Nianzhen, and then said with a smile: "Okay, Nianzhen, come on, it's also an auspicious thing for you to comb your hair." β
Liao Shulan married into the Shen family to be the head of the house, and also to be the stepmother of the two adult children of the Shen family, so her situation is very complicated, but now, Shen Nianzhen, who is the county lord, that is, Liao Fangru's stepdaughter, personally dresses her up, which is of great significance.
At least, this incident also proves that the Shen family attaches great importance to Liao Fangru.
For the happiness of her daughter, Mrs. Liao is willing to sacrifice.
At that moment, she took the maid's hand and stepped aside, watching Shen Nianzhen comb her daughter's hair and put on makeup meticulously.
Shen Nianzhen according to Liao Fangru's goose egg face shape, for her head, the experience and skills she learned in Wangjiang Tower these days have all been taken out, the table on the side is full of all kinds of bottles and cans, dazzling, and Shen Nianzhen doesn't need to look at the words on the bottle at all, he knows what is inside each bottle, his hands are flying like butterflies, and he is very dexterous in putting on makeup for Liao Shulan.
Old Mrs. Liao looked at Shen Nianzhen's movements and was very surprised: "Does Nianzhen comb her hair by herself at home?" Why are you so proficient? And...... It's so strange that you use these things, my wife has lived a lifetime, and it's the first time I've seen it. β
"Old lady, don't worry about this, you just have to wait and see the results."
Shen Nianzhen was so busy that he replied to Mrs. Liao without raising his head in his hands.
As time passed, the scar on Liao Fangru's forehead faded little by little, until in the end, there was no trace at all, and Shen Nianzhen painted Liao Fangru's blue eyebrows and bright red lips.
Then, she stepped back, tilted her head to look at Liao Fangru for a moment, and then turned her head to ask Mrs. Liao: "Old lady, look at the makeup I painted for Aunt Fangru, are you still satisfied?" β
Old Mrs. Liao immediately looked at it.
Then her eyes widened slowly, she had never seen her daughter so beautiful and dazzling. Although, Liao Fangru's appearance was not bad.
Seeing her mother's gaze, Liao Fangru was still a little shy.
"This, this makeup is good, Nian Zhen, it's really hard for you." A smile appeared on Mrs. Liao's lips, and she nodded without hiding her smile.
"Old lady, even more absolutely in the back." Shen Nianzhen said, smiling slightly, suddenly reached out and picked up a cup of tea from the table on the side, touched it was warm, and then suddenly splashed some on Liao Fangru's face.
"Nian Zhen! What are you doing? Mrs. Liao was taken aback when she saw this, and immediately stood up, and her lips began to tremble with anger.
It took her a whole hour to put on makeup! Wait a minute, the team of the Shen family to pick up relatives is coming, where can you keep up with the makeup! What the hell is this doing? Is she helping Fangru, or is she harming her?
"Old lady, it's okay, you don't have to be nervous." Shen Nianzhen said, smiled slightly, and then said, "Look, isn't Aunt Fangru's face okay at all?" The makeup didn't take place at all. β
As he spoke, he gently wiped off some of the water droplets on Liao Fangru's face with a handkerchief, but the makeup on Liao Fangru's face was the same as just now, without any traces of spending, and even her eyebrows were still blue.
Mrs. Liao didn't believe it at all in her heart, but she was worried about her daughter, so she still glanced at Liao Fangru. The result was stunned.
"Well, it's okay with this makeup." Old Mrs. Liao said in surprise.
"yes, that's what I want." Shen Nianzhen said with a face full of relief when he heard this: "This makeup can last for at least a day, and it can't be washed off without the potion I specially configured, which directly puts an end to those who want to take advantage of Aunt Fangru's wedding and want to cause trouble, and it won't make her embarrassed." β
It turns out that this is the purpose of Shen Nianzhen's coming here today! She is here to prevent those people from deliberately playing tricks on Liao Fangru! After all, this is a woman's wedding, and if it is embarrassing on this day, it will leave a shadow for a lifetime.
And Shen Nianzhen, she thought of these things, and worked very hard to do it. She really thinks about Liao Fangru.
At this moment, Mrs. Liao's heart was filled with deep emotion.
"Nianzhen......" She held Shen Nianzhen's hand, her voice was stalking, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Shen Nianzhen smiled and comforted her: "Old lady, you came here so early, you must not have had breakfast yet, right?" Why don't you go to the side hall together to accompany Aunt Fangru to dinner? It's good for a few of us to say hello here, you tell her to have a good rest, recuperate, and get married today, but some are tired! β
Shen Nianzhen was just an unmarried girl, and she didn't expect to be so clear about these processes.
Probably, Mrs. Shen told her.
Mrs. Shen really educated a good granddaughter, and her own children and grandchildren are not blessed to marry such a good one. However, in the past, when choosing a daughter-in-law for the grandchildren of the family, he also had to follow Shen Nianzhen's example.
Mrs. Liao secretly made up her mind.
The makeup has been put on, only the last phoenix crown is left, Shen Nianzhen carefully picked up the phoenix crown inlaid with countless gold jewels, and slowly put it on Liao Fangru's head, Liao Fangru After experiencing fright, she heard Shen Nianzhen's explanation, and her heart was also full of emotion, and immediately took her hand and said, "You come and eat with me!" You've been busy early in the morning, too! β
"yes, yes."
Liao Yulan said with a smile on the side: "Our two sisters originally came to help, but unfortunately we haven't done anything more than handing over hairpins and things, so let's leave the next matter of receiving guests to us!" And my mother! Go and eat first. β
"Don't shirk it, let's go together." Old Mrs. Liao said with a smile when she heard this.
In the end, everyone went to the side hall to simply use some porridge and snacks, and then came to the main hall to entertain guests, and there were already many guests.
Mrs. Liao personally took out the red hijab of the mandarin duck playing in the water that had been prepared early and covered her daughter's head, and then her eyes were slightly red.
She was both excited and reluctant.
Probably married to a daughter, all of them are in such a mood, right?
Because there was still a period of time before the auspicious time of marriage, everyone sat in the flower hall, and a large group of relatives and daughters came, all of them smiled and accompanied Liao Fangru, and then said some auspicious words.
Then, the lady of the second room also came.
She still has the scratches on her face when she fought with her husband some time ago, because the scars are too big, and they can't be eliminated so far, even if she applies a lot of rouge gouache, it is useless, but it looks more and more hideous and terrifying, and her face can't help but splash down the powder.
The second lady is like this, and many ladies in the flower hall cast mocking smiles at her, and some people even secretly talked about her on the side.
The second lady also knows that she is so embarrassed, but if the scars on her face can't be removed, she won't have to see anyone for the rest of her life? What's more, today is still a big day for Liao Fangru to get married! How could she let go of such a good opportunity to make the enemy look ugly?
That's right, she is here to block Liao Fangru today!
I must let everyone take a look at the scar on Liao Fangru's forehead! Call her the title of the scar bride forever with Liao Fangru for a lifetime!
That's when she's happy! She was relieved!
However, her ideas were good, but her luck was bad.
Because of the previous incidents, as well as those dirty incidents last night, the people in this room are quite annoying to the second lady, how long did she enter the door, and just found a place to get to Liao Fangru's side, she heard the old lady Liao say: "You go out first!" Let's see if your sister-in-law has anything to help, so don't go this way. β
She didn't want to go out! Stand at the gate and smile at the visitors, what a bargain! She didn't want to go!
When the second lady heard this, she secretly gritted her teeth in her heart.
But he had to respond respectfully, and when he was about to get up and leave, he suddenly stretched out his hand and directly ripped off the hijab on Liao Fangru's head, and then pretended to be surprised: "Oh, sister-in-law!" How did your hijab fall off, how unlucky is this! β
"Presumptuous!" Old Lady Liao shouted angrily.
The second lady had taken a step back very vigilantly, pretending to be full of apologies, but there was a hint of pride in her eyes.
She was waiting for everyone to gasp, waiting for everyone to talk about Liao Fangru as if they were talking about her.
Hum! If you want to talk about an ugly face, Liao Fangru's face is much uglier than her!
The second lady thought very confidently.
However, there was silence in the room.
Everyone stared blankly at the beautiful face that was shining brightly after the hijab accidentally slipped off, and after a while, someone let out a long exclamation: "Oh my God! It's beautiful, isn't it? What a blessing it is for Shen Dada to be in charge! I was able to marry such a good-looking girl as a wife! What a blessing! β
I don't know who started it, and then everyone opened their mouths to praise, and they all praised Liao Fangru, who was surprised, and became shy.
While praising everyone, they kept surrounding Liao Fangru, looking left and right at her face, and kept asking, "What kind of powder do you have on your face?" Why is it so thorough? It's not thick at all, is it? It's so pretty, I thought you didn't wear makeup......"
Second Lady Xie stood alone in an instant.
No one paid attention to her, as if she were a clown.
Shen Nianzhen stood outside the crowd, hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and glanced at her with a sarcastic expression, for the shock, stunned, incredulous, and deep jealousy, and madness on the second lady's face, he only felt very comfortable in his heart.
Yes, she took such pains to dress up Liao Shulan for this highlight moment!
This second lady of the Liao family, don't think that she Shen Nianzhen will be generous and don't care about the things she did behind her back, it's okay, take your time, and when this wedding is successfully over, we will avenge our grievances and revenge.
Mrs. Liao was also in a very comfortable mood, seeing that everyone praised Liao Fangru for her beauty, her face also shone.
"You know what! She's not like that at all! She has a scar on her face! There are scars! Who knew that at this time, Second Mrs. Liao suddenly pushed away the crowd, rushed up like crazy, snatched the tea on the table, and sprinkled it on Liao Fangru's face: "I call you stinky beauty!" I told you to seduce men! Hurry up and show your true appearance! β
All of a sudden, most of the cup of tea fell on Liao Fangru's face, and she trembled instantly.
