Chapter 348: Provocation

The long street is not young, the gongs and drums are in the sky, the red diamond silk is fluttering, today's Yangzhou City, full of joy, the richest man in Yangzhou City, Xu Minglang, the son of the Xu family, is going to get married.

To say that this Xu family used to be one of the best families in Yangzhou City, but something happened recently, which really hit the Xu family hard.

Xu Minglang didn't know what he had touched, it was originally the girl in the entire Yangzhou City who wanted to marry someone who wanted to marry her, but now she has inexplicably become an existence that everyone avoids.

The reason is because Xu Minglang went to two wives in a row, and his wife died inexplicably on the wedding night, and he couldn't find any reason, so everyone also said that Xu Minglang did something evil in his previous life, and he was destined to be punished in this life, and no one dared to marry him.

searched the entire Yangzhou City and couldn't find anyone who could agree, and in the end, the Xu family finally stretched out their hands to the capital.

The mother of the Xu family was originally from the capital, she is the sister of Lord Yu Ci of Shangshu Mansion in the capital, Yu Xinyu, the daughter of Shangshu Mansion, is now at home and has never married, although she is a person who has been married once, but now no one picks these, just a person.

The Xu family is reluctant to marry someone who has no identity, and someone who has a little identity is unwilling to marry, so marrying Yu Xinyu is already the best one among so many choices.

The eldest lady of the Yu family traveled day and night, after walking for about half a month, she finally arrived in Yangzhou City, did not rest for a day, and directly packed up and went in.

The woman sitting in the red sedan chair gently opened her eyes.

There was despair in her eyes, but more of a blandness.

She didn't know what fate she was about to face, but she knew what was going on.

She, Yu Xinyu, the daughter of Shangshufu, was used as a tool by the two families of Yangzhou and Jincheng, who were in decline at the same time, after becoming a relative, and exchanged 100,000 taels of silver with each other.

It's equivalent to buying one of your own lives with that money.

She was just on the way here, when she heard those people chatting about Xu Minglangke's wife, this so-called cousin is her husband.

"Whew......" Yu Xinyu exhaled softly and closed her eyes again.

Anyway, now that I'm here, I don't have any chance to resist, so I can only go on like this......

Suddenly, the sedan chair stopped, as if it had arrived at the door of Xu's house.

The matchmaker was happily saying some auspicious words outside, and then an old hand reached in and took herself out, and the matchmaker's soft explanation was in her ear.

Yu Xinyu was very well-behaved, walked outside, and finally held a piece of red silk in her hand, and the other end was the man who was about to be called a husband in the future.

However, the biggest question now is not to worship heaven and earth, but how to survive tonight.

She didn't know much, only that on the way here, she heard someone discussing gossip, saying that under normal circumstances, the person who marries will never live the next day.

In other words, we will see tonight.

Finally finished these tedious etiquette, Yu Xinyu sat on the bed, holding a fan in her hand, the red hijab on her face blocked all her vision, so that people couldn't see anything, the only thing she could feel was an inexplicable aroma of wine, and the joy outside, the crowd was noisy, and no one put her safety in her heart.

When the hour came, the door outside was opened, and the matchmaker closed the door after explaining a few rules, and it was not the first time for Xu Minglang to do such a thing, so he naturally knew everything.

Yu Xinyu raised her head and called softly in the direction where the sound of the person walking came: "Is it you?" ”

"You're the first to speak." This is a particularly nice male voice.

Yu Xinyu didn't hesitate, she threw the fan directly, lifted her hijab, and met the gaze of the person in front of her.

What caught my eye was the appearance of a man. He was wearing a red suit, a golden crown, a huge jade wrench on his hand, and even his hair was full of luxury, but like such a person, the expression on his face was particularly depressed, as if the snow on the snow-capped mountain that did not melt all year round, and nothing could melt.

"Sister Xinyu, I came from the capital, and I worked hard all the way, I didn't want to agree, but I really couldn't disobey my parents' orders." Xu Minglang said.

Yu Xinyu also smiled: "I respect you a little honestly, didn't you say that it was difficult for me to survive tonight?" I also asked my cousin to help me see if I could survive tonight. ”

"Hmm...... Good. ”

Yu Xinyu: "Since my cousin doesn't seem to really want to be married to me, then we don't have to drink this glass of wine, right?" ”

Xu Minglang replied: "You said you didn't drink if you didn't want to, I also drank enough wine outside, so I didn't drink anymore." ”

"Okay."

After hearing the answer, Yu Xinyu lay directly on the bed with his clothes, originally preparing to sleep, but with a bunch of things on his head, it was too cumbersome and deceitful to sit up, throw all the things on his head on the side of the bed, and continue to lie back to sleep.

She's not afraid.

She didn't believe in destiny, she didn't believe in curses, she thought it was definitely man-made.

On the surface, Yu Xinyu is indeed asleep now, but in the place where Xu Minglang can't see, she is still holding a hairpin in her hand.

This hairpin was originally hidden in the palm of the hand and was not discovered by others.

Xu Minglang pretended not to see the hairpin she secretly hidden, laughed softly, picked up the quilt, and walked to the side to sit, really just sitting like that, and doing nothing else.

After several hours passed, Yu Xinyu finally couldn't pretend anymore, and sat up suddenly, and the accurate bull's head met Xu Minglang's eyes.

"Aren't you going to make a move?"

Xu Minglang sat ten steps away from the bedside and smiled at her: "It seems that you don't believe me, saying such a thing doesn't do me any good, how could I kill those two innocent women?" ”

Yu Xinyu directly threw the hairpin to the ground and said, "It's different." If it were me, I would definitely not agree, even if I killed someone, I would have prevented this marriage. ”

"Looks like you're trying to kill me?"
