The scorching sun is scorching, the sheng flute of the Nanyang Princess's Mansion is played in unison, the gongs and drums are noisy, and it is a lively scene.

But the eldest princess's abduction and forced marriage has spread in Beijing, and this scene is indescribably strange in the eyes of onlookers.

Xiao Qingyan turned over and dismounted, his red robe scorched like a fire about to burn the sky, and he was dizzy to watch.

She shouted at the eldest princess's mansion: "Xiao Qingyan is here to greet her!" ”

Today, Xiao Qingyan does not plan to step into this door for half a step.

Since he has torn his face in front of the world, why bother maintaining these fake scenes?

The slaves and maids of the princess's mansion saw that the bridegroom refused to enter the door, so they had to let people go in and spread the word.

"The eldest princess, the new aunt refuses to enter the door, and only picks up relatives outside the mansion."

The eldest princess of Nanyang slapped her palm on the long table in front of her: "Like his father, he is a bad thing!" Don't look at the situation of his Xiao family today, marry Changle to him, can he still be wronged? ”

Shen Ji hooked his lips with disdain, and he hid his emotions in an instant.

"Princess, this Xiao family is a hard bone, it is not easy to let Xiao Qingyan take the initiative to come to greet his relatives, no matter what, today is Changle's big day, it should be for Changle, just bear with it first."

Seeing that she was about to get angry again, Shen Ji gently pressed one hand on her arm and whispered softly: "Princess, don't forget the advice of the Queen Mother, the Xiao family will be one with us in the future." ”

Nanyang's brows furrowed, and the golden step in his hair shook violently.

She took a deep breath and got up: "This princess personally sent Changle out." ”

Shen Ji asked, "What about Changle?" The auspicious time has arrived, why haven't you dressed up yet? ”

At this moment, the nurse of the county lord of Changle came running with a look of urgency.

"Eldest princess, colt, no! She's gone! ”

Shen Ji glared: "What do you mean it's gone?" ”

Almost front and back, as soon as Shen Ji's voice fell, another guard strode in.

"Eldest Princess Qiyu, Mrs. Xiao...... He's dead! ”

"What did you say?" Nanyang's face changed suddenly, and his eyes were still a little dazed.

"Slave maid in the ......"

The nurse and the guard spoke at the same time, and the guard's voice pressed the nurse down: "The subordinates were ordered to send Mrs. Xiao back to the Xiao family, who knew that as soon as I entered the door, I heard the maid next to Mrs. Xiao crying, and when I went in, I realized that Mrs. Xiao was already angry, but there were no wounds on her body." ”

Shen Ji also looked at the guards in surprise: "Could it be self-hanging?" ”

The guard shook his head: "It shouldn't be, the subordinates didn't find strangulation marks on Mrs. Xiao's neck." ”

Shen Ji's face was blue and white: "Princess, this matter must not be known to the Xiao family, otherwise today's marriage will have to be abandoned halfway!" ”

"But......" the guard said in a hurry, "the servant girl next to Mrs. Xiao is gone, and the subordinates were anxious to check on Mrs. Xiao's situation, and when they turned around, they realized that the handmaid must be arrested, but the person is gone, but the subordinates have already asked people to guard the four gates and search in the mansion, and the person should still be in the mansion." ”

Shen Ji's heart was turbulent, and the hand hidden under the big sleeve was quietly clenched.

If Xiao Qingyan knew that his mother was dead, and he was angry and emotional, then all the plans after that might have come to an end!

No! Xiao Qingyan must not be allowed to know! The servant girl beside Mrs. Xiao must not let her run out!

"This matter must not be known to the Xiao family!" The eldest princess of Nanyang also said, "Especially Xiao Qingyan! ”

The Xiao family has been swallowing their anger in the past, but since this Xiao family Jiulang began to appear in front of people, Nanyang arranged to enter the Xiao family's fine work has inexplicably lost contact, and things about the Xiao family have also begun to make her unpredictable, which is very evil.

Shen Ji took the initiative to say: "Today is the big day of Changle, we must not let our daughter become the laughing stock of Quan Luojing, I will deal with it personally!" ”

Nanyang glanced at him and nodded.

Shen Ji turned to leave, the dark light in his eyes floating, brewing a thick murderous intention.

Nanyang looked at the nurse at this time: "Did Changle go to mess around again?" Today is her big day, doesn't it make you optimistic about her? ”

She knew that Changle was obsessed with Xie Xingzhi, such a fairy-like character from Yaotai, what girl could not admire? is like Xiao Yu'an back then.

But when she sent Xiao Qingyan's portrait to Changle, Changle clearly agreed to this family business.

"No, it's not!" The nurse shook her hand and took out a letter, "Eldest princess, please see, this is what the slave maid found in the county lord's room." ”

Nanyang unfolded the letter, and it turned out to be a courtship letter written by a man inviting elopement!

The writing is indulgent and elegant, such as the chic flowing clouds in the sky, the idle streams in the mountains, and the deep pen power is enough to be called a famous master in the world.

The letter's signature reads: Xie Jinzhi's handwriting.

How is this—how is this possible?

Nanyang furrowed his brow deeply.

The daughter Mo Ruomu said that this letter was written by Changle to Xie Xingzhi, she may still believe it, but Xie Xingzhi took the initiative to elope with Changle? This......

At this time, another maid came running from outside the house: "Eldest princess, the welcoming team has arrived, and the new aunt is still waiting outside, and if you delay it again, you may miss the auspicious time." ”

Nanyang was upset and depressed, and the letter in his hand was thrown on the maid's face.

"Urge, urge, he Xiao Qingyan is not in a hurry, you guys are caring for him one by one!"

When she didn't know the thoughts of these little hooves, she just saw that Xiao Qingyan was a young man who was like a jade, and her heart was budding!

"Drag her down!"

The maidservant hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, tears pouring down her eyes, but soon a guard dragged her down.

The nurse said cautiously: "Princess, the slave feels that no matter where the county lord is now, no one should dare to hurt her hair, as long as the person is still in the capital, she will always find it, and now it is the first thing to let the marriage continue, only by passing the door and worshipping the church, can this matter avoid rebirth of twists and turns." ”

"What do you mean......"

The nurse nodded silently, she knew that the eldest princess had understood what she meant.

Outside the Princess's Mansion.

The sunlight became more and more scorching, and the onlookers were looking forward to it, but three or four people went in one after another to spread the word, but no one came out, and today's bride, the county lord of Changle, did not even appear in a corner of his clothes.

"Could it be that this Xiao Jiulang didn't enter the door, annoyed the eldest princess, and deliberately wanted to teach him a lesson?"

"But if you delay the auspicious time, it won't do anyone any good!"

Xiao Qingyan's posture was upright, unmoved, like a pine independent of the top of the mountain, waiting for something persistently.

A bead of sweat the size of a bean slipped down her forehead.

Xiao Qingyan frowned, her right eyelid kept beating for some reason, and she was also panicked in her heart.

She pursed her lips and took a deep breath, trying to calm her restless heart, but she didn't exhale a breath, and suddenly choked in her throat.

The bride was dressed in a wedding dress, and accompanied by the eldest princess of Nanyang, appeared at the gate of the mansion.

The red gold tassels on the phoenix crown swayed and shone in the sun.

I don't know if I was shaken by the golden light, Xiao Qingyan narrowed his eyes slightly.
