Despite all this, this captive life was quite leisurely.

Later, he would have her help him dress, choosing his various clothes for going out.

Until he was suddenly inspired, and began to dress her, turning her into a doll that he could manipulate and dress up as he pleased.

At first, it was still normal clothing, but later the styles seemed to become increasingly strange.

Finally, there were only a few gold chains with jewels hanging from them.

He said it looked good.

Lu Weimian’s extremely fragile sense of shame would shatter with each of his compliments.

And it became even more fragile with his increasingly excessive attempts.

He gradually began to like putting various things on her body, slowly becoming dissatisfied with her static appearance, liking her to move or passively present some posture.

Or to put something into her body.

Like now.

She was too naive; how could being a madman’s captive be easy?

How could the wrong things she had done have no bitter consequences?

Lu Weimian bit the brocade quilt, not knowing whether it was tears or something else that had made the peonies embroidered on the brocade quilt dull in color.

The silver chain prevented her from touching the thing beneath her; the anklet bells trembled incessantly, and she subconsciously reached out for help.

In the darkness, she grabbed the man’s clothes.

The devil supported her jaw, his slender jade fingers pried open her teeth, pressing down on her incisors, “Do you like it?”

Lu Weimian’s jaw was pressed sore, and she didn’t even dare to shake her head too much; speaking would touch his fingers, “Let me go, I don’t like it, I don’t like it.”

His voice was bleak, “Lu Weimian, now you can only like me, only like everything I give you.”

He stubbornly repeated, “Say you’re willing, you like it.”

Lu Weimian didn’t speak, or rather, she couldn’t speak.

He asked, “Otherwise, let’s try again, wear it for a night, and tell me tomorrow morning if you like it, okay?”

Lu Weimian’s fingers clenched slightly, “No… people will die.”

Her voice was soft and melodious, sounding like she was acting spoiled.

He laughed, “Death is the easiest thing in this world. I can’t bear to let you die.”

He repeated again, “A’mian, say you’re willing, you like it.”

Finally, as her body lost control, she tugged at his clothes; the silver chain jingled, and her trembling voice yielded in compromise, “I’m willing, I like it, please stop…”

His clear laughter echoed in the room.

Then came the cruel verdict, “Since A’mian likes it so much, then I can’t stop.”

Madman!

This madman!

Lu Weimian bit the quilt, feeling fragile and unbearable.

In the white light before her eyes, she seemed to see everything that had happened.

If she could do it all over again, she only wanted her parents and relatives to be safe and sound, and to live a peaceful life with Feng Zhen.

She would never again be infatuated with the crown prince, and she would never again provoke this madman!

The big red wedding bed had a wedding canopy hanging on both sides, and two maidservants surrounded the bed, calling to the girl who had been crying, “Miss, Miss, wake up.”

Lu Weimian slowly opened her eyes; tears blurred the light in the room, but her expression was still dull and lifeless.

The maidservant by the bed breathed a sigh of relief, “Miss finally woke up, did you have another nightmare?”

Lu Weimian heard Mu Yun’s voice and stiffly turned her head, looking at the two familiar faces by the bed, momentarily stunned.

In an instant, her mind went blank; she thought she was still dreaming.

Mu Yu walked out, “It’s good that Miss is awake, Madam just sent Granny Sun to urge her, I have to go and reply.”

Lu Weimian sat up in disbelief, looking around, her eyes were dazzled by the candlelight by the bed.

She only felt a sense of reality when she regained her sight.

Lu Weimian reached out to shade her eyes from the light; the halo poured out from between her fingers and fell into her eyes.

She looked at the lines on her palm, and then at the wedding banners and canopies hanging around, and the wedding characters pasted on the windows.

Not far away, hung her wedding dress of luan silk and gold thread water wave pattern.

Everything before her eyes indicated—

She was back.

She was back on the day of her wedding.

She clearly remembered that day, it was a cold and rainy day in autumn.

Lu Weimian got up and hurriedly walked to the window and opened it.

Mu Yun noticed Lu Weimian’s strangeness and chased after her, “What’s wrong, Miss?”

The autumn wind outside rolled in the fallen leaves, and the afternoon scene was as dark as dusk.

Mu Yun quickly closed the window, “It’s a great day for the wedding, Miss, you just woke up from a nap, be careful not to catch a cold.”

Lu Weimian didn’t answer for a while.

She really was back.

Granny Sun’s urging voice came from behind the screen, “Have you called the Miss?”

“The auspicious time is coming, if she doesn’t get up, she will miss the time.”

“My little granddaughter, when will you stop sleeping in?” Granny Sun rushed around the screen, just about to urge her, when she saw the girl by the window with her hair scattered on her shoulders, skin like congealed fat, wearing a red nightgown that made her look even more pretty and soft, standing there with tears in her eyes looking at her.

Even if the Jade Emperor came, she wouldn’t have the energy to get angry.

Granny Sun stopped, sighed, and walked forward, “Good girl, Granny knows you don’t want to get married, but this is an imperial marriage, and there’s nothing we can do about it.”

Granny Sun was the nanny who had raised her since she was a child. Lu Weimian looked at her, her expression somewhat dazed.

Her nanny was a rough person, with a fierce and straightforward temper, and she wouldn’t say nice things. In her previous life, Granny Sun had always persuaded her to accept reality and live a good life with her husband.

Lu Weimian didn’t like to listen, and stubbornly argued with her, and the master and servant were estranged before the wedding.

But in her previous life, when her family was raided, it was Granny Sun who protected her escape, but she was killed by the pursuers in front of her.

At this time of year, she should have sent Granny Sun to her mother’s courtyard yesterday and replaced her with another nanny from her family to take her to her husband’s house.

Lu Weimian looked at her in a daze, she didn’t hear what Granny Sun was saying.

Granny Sun went forward to take her to bathe, Lu Weimian felt the reality of it all when she touched Granny Sun’s hand, she softly said, “It’s my fault.”

Granny Sun didn’t react for a moment, her steps suddenly stopped, and she turned to look at Lu Weimian who suddenly apologized.

After all, in her heart, she never thought that Lu Weimian’s tantrum was wrong. In her eyes, it was just a child’s tantrum, still her obedient Mianmian.

“What happened?” Granny Sun turned to Mu Yun and Mu Yu.

Mu Yun and Mu Yu also shook their heads, whispering, “Miss probably had a nightmare, and she’s been like this ever since she woke up…”

Granny Sun thought about it and thought it was true, their Miss had always been reluctant to marry, and it was normal to have nightmares before the wedding.

She must have been scared.

“On such a good day, what’s right and wrong,” Granny Sun held Lu Weimian’s soft and white face, wiping away her tears, “Don’t be afraid, if you suffer any grievances in your husband’s house in the future, come home and tell this old woman, and I’ll go find someone to settle the score for you.”

“If the son-in-law really does something wrong, your father and mother will definitely help you ask the emperor for a divorce, let’s just get through this difficult time first, don’t cry.”

Granny Sun said as she gestured to the maidservants to quickly serve Lu Weimian to wash up and go out to reply to Madam.

As soon as she went out, she was bumped hard on the shoulder.

Granny Sun stumbled, just about to get angry, when the person opposite said politely, “It’s Granny Sun, you shouldn’t be in the front yard, why are you here?”

Granny Sun saw that it was Xu Hua, the housekeeper nanny that Lu Weimian planned to take to Feng’s house, she didn’t say anything, only said with a stern face, “Madam asked me to see if the Miss has woken up.”

“The Miss has instructed that I will handle matters here, so that you don’t have to worry about taking care of Madam and her, and worry yourself sick.” Xu Hua finished with false affection, her smile faded as she turned and entered the inner room.

Her words were meant to belittle her, saying that the Miss didn’t want her anymore.

Granny Sun didn’t listen to her provocation, tugged at her collar, and only muttered when she left Lu Weimian’s courtyard, “She talks so nicely, it’s like farting.”

Inside the room, Lu Weimian sat in front of the dressing table after washing up.

Mu Yun and Mu Yu tried their best to cover up the traces of her crying, but no matter how much they covered, it was still a blush of pity.

It’s not their Miss’s fault, just a month ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still preparing to propose marriage and marry their Miss as the Crown Princess, but then news came from the border, Feng Zhen, who had led the troops to war years ago, returned to the capital after reclaiming the city. The celestial master said that on the day Feng Zhen returned to the capital, seven stars circled the moon in the sky, and the Kaiyang star had a purple-red tail, which was a sign of a general’s arrival, a sign of great national fortune, which needed to be treated well, and if he could marry the Yuheng star girl who would bring peace to the world, it would be a great auspicious sign.

The current emperor believed in the sayings of ghosts and gods, and immediately rejoiced, promoting officials and nobles and bestowing great rewards. The whole country searched for the reincarnated Yuheng star girl, and according to her birth date and time, they found Lu Weimian.

The emperor’s marriage was a capital offense to resist.

In just over a month, their Miss had been engaged to the person she loved and then separated, forced to marry a stranger, becoming a sacrifice for national fortune.

I heard that the new son-in-law rarely appears in public, and likes to wear a black mask covering his left eye; there are rumors that he is not good-looking, and has ugly scars on his face from years of life and death, making it difficult for him to be seen.

And although he won this time, he was also seriously injured, and he was only nineteen years old, it is unknown whether he will suffer from any illness, the emperor specially instructed that many of the son-in-law’s wedding procedures be exempted, and no one dared to make trouble for him.

It is certainly impossible to say that she is not sad, the Miss did not eat or drink for several days, and she had become much thinner.

Until later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince secretly came to see her, the Miss only got better.

Mu Yun comforted her, “Miss, on this happy day, even if you don’t want to get married, let’s… be happy on the surface, don’t let people take advantage of your weaknesses.”

Lu Weimian looked at herself in the mirror, “I want to get married.”

“Actually, I’m very happy today.”

Mu Yun and Mu Yu looked at each other, both seeing worry in each other’s eyes.

The Miss is talking nonsense because she is too sad.

The wedding started at dusk, the matchmaker outside shouted, “Auspicious time,” Lu Weimian went out with a veil, Xu Hua supported her, and sent her out.
