Chapter 445 The Substitute Marriage
The enchanting night is silent and pure.
Under the thin moonlight, the man was dressed in purple, standing long. The long green silk gently winds around with the wind, just like that reverberating xiao sound.
Silver-colored mask, in the moonlight flooded with a little bit of ghostly light, in addition to that pair of indifferent as water eyes, and that light-colored thin lips can no longer see other.
Yan Qingxuan looked at Yan Mor Calamity under the tree and was slightly stunned.
If it were not for that face, how many women would have been charmed by such a stranger’s calamity …
Seemingly sensing something, the indifferent eyes gently swept towards Yan Qingxuan in the wheelchair.
“Big brother.”
Yan Mor Calamity put away the jade xiao, and the melodious sound of the xiao gradually dissipated.
“Night Cool, let’s go inside.”
Yan Mor Calamity nodded and walked behind Yan Qingxuan, pushing him into the room.
Looking at Yan Mor Calamity’s whitened lips, Yan Qingxuan’s eyes flashed with a touch of heartache.
“Why the sudden poisoning?”
He had been restraining himself well before, so why would he suddenly be poisoned, or even worse.
At those words, a figure instantly crossed Yan Mor Calamity’s mind, and his heart suddenly burned there, as if the hot tears had once again fallen on his heart.
“Stranger Calamity?”
Looking at the frozen Yan Mor Calamity, Yan Qingxuan frowned lightly.
What’s wrong with him today, he’s never seen a stranger like this before.
Yan Mor Calamity returned to his senses and faintly said, “Last night, someone entered the back of the mountain.”
“Who is it?”
Yan Qingxuan was shocked that someone was able to break into the Ghost King’s mansion and even reached the back of the mountain, no wonder Mor Bakuang’s poison deepened.
Yan Mor Calamity’s eyes flickered lightly, gently shaking his head.
Yan Qingxuan frowned, his face becoming even more grave.
“Don’t go back to the Ghost King’s Mansion for the next few days, wait until the wedding day.”
“The big wedding?”
Yan Mor Calamity frowned, his indifferent eyes flashed with thick disgust.
Didn’t that woman jump into the lake and die? Why the big wedding?
Could it be that the news was wrong and the Water family had a fourth daughter.
“Shui Ruoyan isn’t dead, the big wedding in three days will go on as usual.” Seemingly knowing Yan Mor Calamity’s thoughts, Yan Qingxuan explained.
His brows abruptly furrowed, and his indifferent eyes were colored with anger.
She can die if she wants to, and marry if she wants to, what kind of place does he think the Ghost King’s Mansion is?
Feeling Yan Mor Calamity’s anger, Yan Qingxuan sighed softly, “Actually, this matter can’t be blamed entirely on the Water House, if it wasn’t for someone intentionally badmouthing your reputation, then how could Shui Ruoyan jump into the lake, the deaths of the Water House’s first two young ladies must’ve given her a lot of pressure.”
Yan Mor Calamity coldly snorted, “When did big brother take pity on a woman like this.”
Yan Qingxuan frowned, “Big brother is doing this for your own good, Father will never give up on a marriage with the Water House.”
From Shui Ruohan, to Shui Ruoxin, to Shui Ruoyan, if Father would have given up, he would have done so long ago.
Instead of marrying those side branch ladies of the Water House, it would be better to marry this Shui Ruoyan. Shui Ruoyan is also the first daughter of the Shui family, which is more worthy of the title of Ghost Princess than those side-branch young ladies.
Yan Mor Calamity’s indifferent eyes abruptly turned cold.
Shui Ruoyan, right?
He would like to see if she is qualified to be the Ghost King’s Consort or not?
Water House, South Court.
“Ma’am.”
The maid outside the door immediately bowed when she saw Mrs. Shui.
“Is the lady in the house?”
“In.”
Lady Shui nodded her head and took the two maids into the room.
In the room, Liang Sheng was concentrating on rubbing the Ice Specter Jade Flute and slowly raised his eyes when he heard the sound.
Seeing Liang Sheng, Mrs. Shui opened her mouth, but she didn’t know how to address Liang Sheng.
Looking at Lady Shui’s embarrassed face, Liangsheng hooked his lips, “My name is Duanmu Liangsheng, Lady can call me Liangsheng.”
Lady Shui nodded her head, “Miss Liangsheng, I’m here to deliver your wedding clothes.”
At those words, the two maids behind Lady Shui took a step forward together.
Mrs. Shui looked at the phoenix cape in her maid’s hand, and a flash of disappointment flashed across her eyes.
“This is the wedding dress we made for Yan’er earlier. Because of the time constraints, it was too late to re-embroider it, so we had to commission the girl.”
Mrs. Shui said with an apologetic smile, “It’s a good thing that the girl’s figure is similar to our Yan’er’s, or else she would really have to worry.”
Liangsheng’s beautiful eyes lightly turned to the beautifully embroidered phoenix cape in the hand of the maid.
“Girl, you try it on first, and if there is anything that doesn’t fit, I’ll immediately have the embroiderer alter it.”
After Mrs. Shui finished speaking, the two maids of honor immediately sent the phoenix cape to Liangsheng.
Liangsheng raised his eyes and looked faintly at Lady Shui, “Lady’s heart, Liangsheng’s heart is appreciated, the wedding clothes, I have long been ready.”
Mrs. Water froze slightly, her eyes full of surprise.
Even the dowry is ready, this girl wants to marry into the Ghost King’s house like this, does she have some ulterior motive?
Knowing that Mrs. Shui was suspecting something, but Liangsheng just smiled faintly and didn’t explain anything.
She wouldn’t care what anyone thought except Yan.
“Madam, Miss has woken up.” Suddenly, Xiao Li’s delighted voice rang out from outside the door.
Mrs. Shui instantly came back to her senses and immediately wanted to rush out of the room, but suddenly thinking of something, she turned around again and bowed deeply to Liangsheng.
“Many thanks to the girl for waking up my daughter, the girl’s great kindness is not to be repaid, in the future, if the girl has a need for my Water Mansion, the Water Mansion will surely do nothing.”
Mrs. Shui finished a sentence in all seriousness before she turned around and left the room.
She sort of figured out that no matter why this girl wanted to enter that Ghost King’s Mansion, their Shui family apologized for her life.
Liang Sheng looked at Lady Shui’s back, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Shui Ruoyan, surprisingly, woke up two days earlier than she expected.
Water Moon Building, in Shui Ruoyan’s boudoir.
“Yan’er, you’ve finally woken up, you scared mother to death.”
Mrs. Shui was in tears as she hugged Shui Ruoyan, who had just awakened.
Shui Ruoyan furrowed her brows, and the bottom of her eyes was nothing but shock and strangeness.
Shui Xuan Shu wiped the corners of her eyes and snapped at Mrs. Shui, “Alright, Yan’er just woke up, how can she rest if you’re holding her like this?”
Mrs. Shui finally unwillingly let go of Shui Ruoyan, raising her hand to caress that pale little face with a look of heartache.
“Yan’er, are you hungry, mother will go and cook you a bowl of porridge.”
Mrs. Shui said to the two maids on the side and said sternly, “Xiao Li, Xiao Peach you two take good care of the young lady, if any more mistakes are made, you’ll be waiting to be sold.”
“Yes.” Little Pear and Little Peach immediately bowed their heads in fear.
After that incident, even if Madam didn’t say anything, they didn’t dare to be careless anymore.
Three days went by in a flash, and it was the day of the wedding.
Early in the morning, a maid and a bridesmaid came to Liangsheng’s room to freshen her up.
Liangsheng didn’t like the idea of tracing her eyebrows and painting her eyes, and only let them help her comb her hair into a bun, and then didn’t let them do it again.
After combing her hair, the maid tried to help Liangsheng put on her wedding dress, but she couldn’t find the cape.
Liangsheng’s veiled hand lightly raised, “You guys go out first.”
“Yes.”
Despite all the doubts, the maidservant and the joyful woman didn’t dare to be any sloppy and immediately bowed and retreated.
Only after the maids retired did Liangsheng take out a large red dress from her storage ring.
The golden silk thread wrapped around the big red snow Luo smoke, forming a lifelike phoenix. A phoenix and a phoenix, one in front of the other, head and tail, incomparable love and entanglement, such a gorgeous dress is obviously the most suitable for a wedding dress.
Raising his hand to caress that piece of delicate softness, Liangsheng smiled bitterly.
I didn’t realize that her Phoenix Lady’s court dress would become her wedding dress.
When Mother designed this court dress, did she already think that there would be today, no wonder she had always felt that this court dress was twisted, it turned out that it was simply a wedding dress.
Thinking of Duanmu Shi, Liangsheng’s beautiful watery eyes flashed with intense longing.
She would definitely go back as soon as possible, bringing Yan with her.
Putting that Phoenix Lady court dress on, Liangsheng took out his own court crown again.
Dynasty crown as a whole is golden yellow, still a phoenix and a phoenix, the mouth of the Dongzhu, intertwined neck, the slightly cocked tail is silver.
Liangsheng’s favorite thing about this tail was the circle of glittering gemstones in it, which his mother had said was called a diamond, representing pure and unchanging love.
Pure and unchanging love is what all women aspire to, right?
Liang Sheng put on his dynastic crown, and the golden tassels instantly descended, covering his stunning face.
“Come in.”
Putting on that status symbol’s court dress, Liangsheng’s voice was unconsciously majestic.
Upon hearing the summons, the maids and bridesmaids immediately pushed the door open.
“Ms. Geezer …”
The maid’s voice came to a crashing halt, and she looked at Liangsheng dumbfounded, with nothing but amazement on her face.
The bridesmaids who came in afterward also had a look of obsession.
So beautiful, so beautiful …
The people are beautiful and so are the glad rags!
She had been a bridesmaid for more than thirty years and had seen countless brides and wedding dresses, but she had never seen such a beautiful bride and such a special wedding dress.
If she was as beautiful as a goddess in a purple dress just now, then at this moment, she was like an empress in a red dress, so that people couldn’t help but want to sincerely obey.
And the stunning wedding dress, the unparalleled materials, the incomparable craftsmanship, the original design, all of these were unheard of and unseen by her.
“Is it the auspicious time?”
The cool, majestic voice pulled back the maid and the bridesmaid’s sanity.
“Yes.”
The maids of honor and the bridesmaids of pleasure immediately bowed, and then helped Liangsheng out of the room on the left and the right.
In the lobby of the Water Mansion, both Shui Xuan Shu and Lady Shui were already waiting.
The maids of honor and the bridesmaids of honor helped Liangsheng into the lobby and retreated quietly.
When Shui Xuan Shu and Lady Shui saw Liang Sheng, who was dressed in a dowry, their eyes flashed with amazement at the same time.
Especially Lady Shui, she finally understood why she didn’t want Yan’er’s wedding clothes.
Originally thought that the dowry they prepared for Yan’er would be the only one in Xuancheng, but I didn’t expect it to become so worthless in front of Miss Liangsheng’s dowry.
Just by looking at this dowry, I know that this Liangsheng girl must not be the daughter of an ordinary family.
“Miss Liangsheng, the Ghost King’s Mansion is mysterious and weird, you must be more careful when you go there.” Shui Xuan Shu looked at Liang Sheng with an unforgiving face.
He really didn’t want to see her go to her death, and she had suffered for their Yan’er, if anything really happened to her, he would find it hard to have peace of mind for the rest of his life.
Ryou Sheng nodded, a flash of gratitude crossing the bottom of his eyes.
“The auspicious time has come for me to cover your head.”
Mrs. Shui’s eyes flashed as she took the red cover embroidered with a phoenix aside to help Liangsheng cover it.
After Mrs. Shui covered Liangsheng’s head, the maids of honor and the bridesmaids came in together and carried Liangsheng out.
As soon as they saw Liang Sheng come out, the people gathered outside boiled over.
“This is the Third Miss of the Shui Family, look at this shapely figure, definitely a great beauty!”
“Pity such a beauty, it’s a shame to match that Ghost King.”
“Worthy of being the richest Shui family in Spirit Moon, look at that dowry, at a glance, it’s not something that an ordinary family can take.”
…
In the crowd, a woman in white, wearing a white veil, looked at Liang Sheng on the back of the bridesmaid, her beautiful eyes filled with jealousy.
Why isn’t she the one who married him?
Liangsheng, who sat in the sedan chair, didn’t care about the rumors outside, a heart full of tension.
She was really going to marry Yan, as if it was as unreal as a dream.
Liangsheng looked at the golden tassel in front of him, and the corners of his lips unconsciously hooked into a happy smile.
Yan, I’m coming!
Wait for me …
