Chapter 47: Tang Chuying’s Marriage 2

Mei Niang didn’t miss the disdain flashing in Tang Chuying’s eyes. Her face turned awkward for a moment, then she became dissatisfied.

She really didn’t expect her daughter to despise her!

She had sacrificed so much, all for whom?

But because it was Tang Chuying’s wedding day, Mei Niang didn’t lash out.

Mei Niang only then noticed the black spot on Tang Chuying’s face. Her expression froze. When did this happen?

She remembered that she hadn’t seen this black spot on Tang Chuying’s face ten days ago.

Her first thought was Tang Chuyao. Could it be that Tang Chuyao had done something?

After all, she had a foster mother, who was the master of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers!

She was not only proficient in medicine but also in poison!

Could it be that Hua Wangshu had discovered that they had poisoned Tang Chuyao and then poisoned Tang Chuying in retaliation?

Mei Niang felt that her guess was probably right!

If so, what would happen to Ying’er’s face?

Just as Mei Niang was at a loss, Tang Chuying’s emotions became agitated, “Mother, help me kill Tang Chuyao!”

Mei Niang pressed down on Tang Chuying, who was becoming agitated, and dismissed the servants around her. She lowered her voice and said to Tang Chuying, “Ying’er, don’t worry, didn’t the groom say that you would deal with Tang Chuyao on your return visit?”

“Let’s get through today’s wedding first!”

Tang Chuying gradually calmed down. Her mother was right.

Seeing that Tang Chuying had calmed down, Mei Niang reached out and picked up the red veil beside her.

Looking at Tang Chuying in front of her, Mei Niang’s heart was filled with mixed emotions. Her Ying’er shouldn’t be like this!

The thick makeup couldn’t hide the black spot on her face, and the bright red wedding dress didn’t fit well, it was a bit loose. Tang Chuying had indeed lost a lot of weight these days!

Tears welled up in her eyes, but Mei Niang forced them back, revealing a strained smile. She reached out to straighten the stray strands of hair on Tang Chuying’s forehead and said, “Ying’er is about to marry into the Marquis of Xuanping’s mansion. You will be the heir’s wife and have endless wealth and glory!”

“In the Marquis of Xuanping’s mansion, it’s not like Wen Yong Marquis’ mansion. You have to pay attention to your temper and don’t make the young master angry!”

“Men, you have to coax them. I won’t teach you about that…”

Tang Chuying was also touched by Mei Niang’s words. No matter what, her mother was sincere to her!

Bixiang came in and urged, “Mei Niang, it’s getting late. Hurry up and send Miss Tang out of the mansion!”

Mei Niang glanced at Bixiang. For some reason, she felt that Bixiang and Bi He were different today, but Mei Niang didn’t have time to think about it.

She reluctantly covered Tang Chuying’s head with the red veil, then found two strong mamas to carry Tang Chuying out of the room, one on each side…

There were already many people gathered outside Wen Yong Marquis’ mansion. This was the first time they had seen a bride being carried out by two strong mamas.

People from the Marquis of Xuanping’s mansion also came, but Gu Huaifeng was not seen. Only a small sedan chair stood alone at the gate.

Mei Niang’s face was ugly, but she didn’t dare to say anything. Tang Youze only came out symbolically, and he didn’t see Gu Huaifeng. Tang Youze’s eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that the Marquis of Xuanping’s mansion really didn’t look down on Tang Chuying!

Tang Youze showed his face and then left…

Tang Chuying was finally helped into the sedan chair, but she couldn’t sit properly, so she could only half-lie down in the sedan chair, which was quite comical.

When Dujian and Tang Chuyao were talking about this gossip, Tang Chuyao was making ointment and didn’t even look up. Tang Chuying’s tragedy had just begun!

She wanted Tang Chuying to experience all the suffering she had endured in her previous life!

Night Rain suddenly appeared and whispered a few words in Tang Chuyao’s ear. Tang Chuyao pondered for a moment and told the secret guards who were watching to not alert the snake and continue to watch.

She didn’t remember Mei Niang having any secret contact with anyone in her previous life. It seemed that many things and people had changed in this life because of her rebirth!

Night Rain looked at the sky outside the window. It was already afternoon, and the young lady was still in the mansion with no intention of going out. She was a little anxious and was thinking about how to take the young lady out of the mansion.

Then she heard Dujian say, “Miss, today is the Qixi Festival, aren’t you going out for a stroll?”

Tang Chuyao moved her stiff neck. She had been in the pharmacy for a long time and should go out for some exercise.

So she asked Dujian to help her with her makeup and took Dujian and Huang Xiaoyu out of the mansion. Night Rain protected them in secret and didn’t show herself.

By the time they reached the bustling street, it was already dark, but the flow of people was even more lively than usual.

The Daqi Kingdom was open-minded and there were no special regulations that required women to stay at home. So whenever there was a festival, you could see women dressed in bright clothes everywhere on the street.

The setting sun’s rays were like a layer of golden gauze, gently falling on the street.

The long street was crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder. Young girls wore colorful silk skirts, their skirts swaying slightly with their light steps, like blooming flowers shuttling through the crowd.

Some held delicate embroidered handkerchiefs, covering their faces and smiling faintly, whispering to their companions beside them. Others were full of anticipation, their eyes constantly searching for the Qixi objects they liked at the stalls on the side of the street.

The young masters in the mansion also came out of their homes, dressed in fine clothes, holding folding fans, and gracefully shuttling through the crowd. Their curious or ardent gazes would occasionally linger on the girls.

The stalls on the side of the street were lined up one after another, and the shouts of the stall owners were one after another. The stall owner selling lanterns shouted hoarsely, “Colorful lanterns! Qixi Festival lanterns! They will bless the girls with skillful hands and hearts, and the young masters with a bright future!” The lanterns of various shapes, some like delicate flowers, some like lively birds, attracted many passersby to stop and choose.

The stalls selling snacks were even more fragrant. The aromas of sugar figures, cakes, wontons, and other delicacies intertwined, filling the air.

Children shuttled happily through the crowd, holding sugar figures they had just bought.

Not far away, a stone bridge was bustling with people. The weeping willows by the bridge swayed gently in the breeze, their green branches swaying gently. Some literati stood on the bridge, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, admiring the beauty of the evening.

The river under the bridge shimmered, and boats slowly sailed on the surface of the river, with people on board laughing and talking.

Dujian held a string of candied haws in one hand, her cheeks puffed up like a little hamster. In the other hand, she held a few lanterns, her eyes constantly looking at the stalls on both sides.

Night Rain suddenly appeared in front of Tang Chuyao, bowed and said, “Young Lady, our King has invited you!”

Tang Chuyao nodded, and was about to take Dujian and Huang Xiaoyu to see Gu Qingchen, but she heard Night Rain say, “Young Lady, our King only wants to see you alone!”
