Chapter 536 Extra Thank You Banquet (3)
Looking at the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion in front of him, Xie Zhiyan suddenly tightened the reins in his hands, his knuckles turned white, and the horse raised its front hooves high and stopped.
He slowly urged his horse forward, his dark purple robe glowing with awe-inspiring light in the sunlight. He and his horse stood across the middle of the road, blocking the entire road to the palace.
"Uu——!"
The coachman from the Prime Minister's Mansion hurriedly reined in his horse, and the gold-inlaid shaft of the carriage barely stopped less than ten feet away from Xie Zhiyan.
The butler of the Xiangfu Mansion, who was sitting next to the driver, was startled. Seeing the person in front of him, he hurriedly got off the carriage and said respectfully, "Greetings, Mr. Xie!"
"May I ask Mr. Xie..."
However, before the butler could finish, Xie Zhiyan raised his hand to interrupt him. His eyes were fixed on the curtain covering the carriage, and his voice softened unconsciously: "Inside the carriage, is that Miss Jiang from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
The housekeeper's Adam's apple rolled, and he glanced back at the falling brocade curtain, then glanced at Xie Zhiyan, hesitatingly saying, "This..."
At this moment of hesitation, a deliberately soft female voice came from the carriage: "It is your servant~"
The ending tone was deliberately drawn out and raised, and the tone seemed to be able to squeeze out water, which made Xie Zhiyan frown.
His eyes suddenly turned cold, and his jawline formed a sharp arc.
However, the voice continued to come: "Thank you, sir...ah..."
The next moment, he raised his hand impatiently and slapped it, and the carriage door immediately shattered into pieces.
The woman in the car covered her head and screamed in fear.
It was obvious that Jiang Wantang was not inside.
The little fox would not make such an unpleasant sound, nor would it be so frightened and hold its head in panic.
After the panic in the carriage, the woman realized that she had lost her composure, so she lowered her arms, revealing a heavily made-up face - it was Jiang Wanfu.
"It's you?" Xie Zhiyan's pupils trembled, and his voice was as deep as ice: "Where is the Second Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Wanfu looked up at him in astonishment, afraid that he had discovered her exchange marriage and was coming to take her back. She huddled in the only intact corner of the carriage, silent.
Xie Zhiyan sneered, drew his sword, and placed it across the butler's neck, saying coldly, "Speak!"
The man who was gentle and polite just now suddenly became violent, gloomy and terrifying, and the oppressive feeling emanating from his body was suffocating.
The speed at which his expression changed was so fast that it sent chills down one's spine.
Indeed, the reputation of being the most cruel official in Dasheng was not earned in vain.
The housekeeper's body softened, and he knelt down tremblingly, saying tremblingly: "My lord, the second young lady is... on the wedding sedan chair to the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion..."
"This... right now... I'm afraid they're already in the wedding ceremony..."
When Xie Zhiyan heard the word "wedding ceremony", his heart trembled violently and he felt a sharp pain.
Suddenly I remembered the wedding scene I saw on the road...
So, Jamel Xiao married no one else but... Jiang Wantang?!
How is this possible? !
The little fox is his, how can he marry someone else?
What’s more, that person was Jamel Xiao.
Xie Zhiyan suddenly turned his horse's head and galloped towards the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion.
Although I don't know why it was Jiang Wanfu who entered the palace this time, but the one who married into the Marquis's Mansion was...
But no matter what, he has secured this marriage today!
It doesn’t matter whether he has a wedding ceremony or not, as long as he gets it, it’s his.
Even if the Jade Emperor comes, it won’t work!
......
At that time, in front of the main gate of Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
Red silk fills the sky, joy fills the air...
The wedding procession, decorated with red wedding gowns stretching for ten miles, has arrived. The big red "囍" character on the vermilion lacquer gate is dazzling and eye-catching under the golden sunlight.
The streets on both sides of the gate were filled with guests and people watching the excitement. The scene was grand and lively.
Amidst the sounds of cheer and joy, a red sedan chair carried by eight people stopped steadily in front of the bluestone steps, with lotus flowers embroidered on the curtains.
"The bride is here—!"
"Groom, please lift the curtain of the sedan chair!"
The matchmaker stood beside the wedding sedan and sang in a long and loud voice.
Xiao Jingheng, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, looked very happy. Amid the cheers of the guests around him, he walked towards the wedding sedan chair.
He walked to the front of the wedding sedan, and the matchmaker smiled and sang loudly: "The groom lifts the curtain of the sedan and welcomes the bride into the house!"
Xiao Jingheng stretched out his hand and was about to lift the curtain of the sedan chair when he heard the hurried sound of horse hooves approaching from afar.
“Wait a minute—!”
Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.
Everyone turned around and saw the rumored cold-faced Dali Temple Minister Xie Zhiyan, dressed in a dark purple brocade robe, riding a horse...
Xie Zhiyan sped all the way, not daring to take a moment's breath, and finally arrived at the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion just as the wedding sedan chair was arriving. Just as Xiao Jingheng was about to lift the curtain of the sedan chair and welcome the bride into the mansion, he hurriedly appeared.
He reined in his horse and stopped, with the horse's front hooves raised high, startling the entire audience and causing their cheers to stop abruptly.
For a moment, everyone looked at him with curiosity, scrutiny, and suspicion.
Xie Zhiyan looked down at Xiao Jingheng who was standing in front of the wedding sedan chair, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Young Marquis Xiao, we meet again..."
"What do you mean, Lord Xie?" Xiao Jingheng glared at him angrily with cold eyes.
Repeatedly hindering his wedding.
Jamel Xiao was so angry that he wanted to fight with the arrogant man in front of him, but considering that it was a wedding and there were many guests present, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
He stood in front of the wedding sedan in a bright red wedding gown, his smile undiminished, but a cold look appeared in his eyes: "Today is a great celebration in our mansion. If you, Lord Xie, would like to have some wedding wine, please come in and take a seat."
"Why such a fuss?"
Xie Zhiyan chuckled and said nonchalantly, "Thank you for your kindness, young marquis!"
"But today, Xie..." He spoke slowly but clearly, "I'm not here to attend a wedding..."
"I'm here to pick up the bride."
This sentence caused an uproar around him.
The cheerful atmosphere suddenly became dead silent.
Everyone present widened their eyes and looked at the two young men in front of them with shock.
What's happening here? !
In broad daylight, openly kidnapping the bride?!
Or is it the Dali Temple Minister Xie Zhiyan who is the least interested in women? ! !
Was he confused, or were they confused and hallucinating? ! ! !
Xiao Jingheng's throat stagnated, his blood boiling, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly ignited: "Xie Zhiyan, you are going too far!"
"My Pingyang Marquisate has no grudges against you, yet you keep provoking me on my wedding day!"
"Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you have the Yong'an Marquisate backing you up."
"Somebody come!"
"Catch him for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of guards armed with swords rushed out of Pingyang Marquis's mansion and surrounded Xie Zhiyan...
(My dears, Xie Zhiyan has returned to the heroine’s previous life, the one where she didn’t enter the palace and marry Xiao Jingheng~)
