Forty-two couples get married

  "What?" Upon hearing this, He Ming's face, which had been flushed with excitement, suddenly turned black. The evil glint in his eyes also revealed a hint of cruelty. "Father, at this time, is the bride going to back out now?" That woman was doomed if she really did that - he would definitely capture her and torture her to death!

  He Zhengzhou grasped his arm, signaling him to calm down, furrowing his brow and speaking in a low voice: "The people who went to welcome the bride said that the bride had already boarded the sedan chair. Don't worry for now, I've already sent someone to investigate what happened. You go stabilize the guests first."

  ……

  At the same time, in a secluded courtyard, a woman wearing a bright red wedding dress was tied to the bed, her wedding veil long gone. Her exquisite face had a black cloth covering her eyes, and she opened her mouth, twisting her body, but couldn't make a sound. A moment later, she felt someone approaching, stripping off her clothes one by one.

  When the tearing pain came from below, the black veil covering the woman's face was suddenly soaked with tears. But no matter how hard the woman struggled or how terrified her expression was, she couldn't change this scene that was like being "pressed under a ghost".

  No! Her innocence...

  Who is taking away her innocence?

  At this moment, the woman's mind was filled with only one thought - her chastity was gone!

  Today is the day she married into the Cheng Wang Fu, but she has not yet shared a wedding ceremony with her beloved Prince Cheng. Her chastity should belong to Prince Cheng...

  ……

  The current King's Palace

  The same guests filled the seats, bustling and extraordinary.

  When the eight carriers of the grand sedan chair arrived at the gate of the magnificent Cheng Wang Fu, several men wearing armor and holding long spears suddenly emerged from the gate and dispersed the crowd gathered outside.

  Originally wanting to watch the lively scene, the common people saw this situation and no one dared to stay any longer, leaving with disappointment.

  With no more onlookers around, the captain of the guards finally gave a cold wave of his hand to the eight sedan bearers: "Take the sedan away!"

  A gust of wind came, blowing up a corner of the bright red sedan chair curtain. If there were still people watching the excitement at this moment, they would definitely find that there was no one in the bridal sedan...

  At this moment, on the road to the bridal chamber, the woman with a red cloth covering her head slowly opened her eyes, and suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented, with a dull mind.

  Fortunately, with someone supporting her on either side, she didn't fall and was able to keep walking.

  Everyone knows that the woman marrying into the royal family today is a disabled daughter of the White House, and even though the bride's steps are awkward at this moment, no one thinks it's inappropriate. On the contrary, everyone who sees the bride appears with an envious gaze.

  She was destined to be the Princess Consort of Cheng Wang, regardless of her identity or appearance. Even if there were jokes about it, they could only be shared secretly in private, who would dare risk their life to come to the Cheng Wang's mansion and offend him?

  A cacophony of noise beside her ear, disturbing White Heart to the point of a splitting headache. Yet she seemed to have suddenly grown soft bones, unable to muster any strength except for some faint residual power.

  Distant firecrackers, nearby human voices and laughter, the red cloth in front of her eyes gradually brought her back to her senses, only then did she remember that today she was supposed to marry that man.

  But why did Blood Shadow knock her out?

  She was just joking and didn't really plan to run away from marriage, did she need to be knocked unconscious?

  Supported by someone all the way, listening to the joyful noise of people, finally stopped at a step, lowered her eyes, and suddenly saw a pair of big feet appear, festive boots, festive robe corners, and that familiar breath close by. At this moment, for some reason, her somewhat uneasy mind inexplicably calmed down.

  The subsequent process was not far from what Bai Xinyue had expected. Amidst a loud cheer, she was supported by someone to complete some sort of ceremony with the man beside her.

  "The ceremony is complete——the newlyweds enter their bridal chamber——"

  At this moment, a pair of hands replaced the person supporting her by her side, and her waist suddenly tightened. Before she could react, her feet were already off the ground, firmly held in a horizontal embrace by the owner of those large feet, walking towards the gate of the bridal chamber.

  Ministry of War

  The auspicious hour has passed, but the bridal sedan chair still hasn't arrived. The guests who were waiting to attend the ceremony have already started whispering among themselves, and not only is the bride nowhere to be seen, even the father and son of the He family have vanished without a trace.

  Fortunately, today the crown prince condescended to attend, so even though there were many dissenting opinions among the guests present, no one dared to make a loud disturbance.

  The wedding procession was late in arriving, and He Zhengzhou and his son He Ming had already lost a lot of face. Just as the father and son were discussing whether to send someone to ask about the situation at the Duke's mansion, a servant came to report that the bride had been found on the side of the road at the west end of the street, and people had been sent to escort her back.

  The father and son finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although they felt that things were strange and suspicious, the most important thing at present was to comfort the guests in the house.

  The bride finally arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, although she was late for a short while, but after all, she was welcomed in and everything went smoothly afterwards.

  After sending the bride into the bridal chamber, He Ming followed He Zhengzhou to entertain the guests for a while before finding an excuse to slip away to the new house.

  New House

  Red candles flicker, a festive atmosphere fills the new home with warmth everywhere.

  But the bride sitting alone on the edge of the wedding bed, covering her head with a quilt, was tightly clutching the red silk handkerchief in her hand, as if she was shrouded in an inexplicable chill, and her whole body was visibly trembling.

  The maid waiting on the side thought the bride was just nervous and didn't pay much attention.

  Until the door of the new house was pushed open and the groom with a strong smell of wine walked in.

  "Everyone get out, no need to serve here." As soon as he entered the door, He Ming stared at the figure on the wedding bed, and the beautiful body that caught his eye made him raise a sly smile.

  The maids curtsied and withdrew.

  Upon hearing the unfamiliar male voice, the bride sitting on the bed suddenly lifted her veil for no reason and stared at the man entering the room with a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed shocked and fearful.

  "Ah——" Bai Xinbi's face turned white in an instant, as if she had seen a ghost. Her body was trembling uncontrollably. "Wh-why is it you?" She shouldn't be here, should she? The person who just exchanged vows with her was supposed to be the Crown Prince of Cheng Wang, wasn't he?!

  "Hmph!" He Ming was taken aback, but after understanding her words, he suddenly let out a cold sneer and walked over with big strides. With one swift motion, he pinched the woman's small face that had been shocked pale, his narrow eyes flashing with a fierce glint. "What, you think you've seen a ghost in broad daylight? You can't even tell who your husband is?"

  This woman, thinking she has a university degree to back her up, is arrogant by nature and looks down on everyone.

  He dares to play with something as important as the wedding ceremony, playing with the Minister's residence. Hmph, just watch him torment her to death today!
