After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power
Chapter 194 The Bride
Due to the Yunmeng Prefecture Incident, the Fuso delegation was preparing to return quickly, so Helian Xuan had to order the wedding date to be moved forward.
The Shangguan family prepared a grand banquet and sent Shangguan Mingzhu off with a ten-mile-long red dowry.
On the last night at Shangguan Mansion, Shangguan Mingzhu asked Sheng Qingtang to accompany her on the grounds that she was reluctant to leave.
The two had been close since childhood, and no one thought there was anything wrong.
After dealing with the guests who came to add makeup, they closed the door and plotted in the room late at night.
There were more than 200,000 taels of silver notes on the table, most of which were left by Mrs. Shangguan, and a small part was given as dowry by relatives.
Shangguan Mingzhu counted out 100,000 taels and handed it to her, "Here, this is the 100,000 taels I promised you."
Sheng Qingtang accepted it without hesitation and watched her pack up the remaining banknotes and gold and silver jewelry.
They have already planned the route for their escape tomorrow. Shangguan Mingzhu will leave the mansion to get married, and then board a ship from the dock and go to Fuso with the Fuso delegation.
After a day of sailing on the river, the boat would stop at Luoshui for a rest. The two took advantage of that time to bribe the people at the largest inn at Luoshui Ferry.
Shangguan Mingzhu felt that this was too risky and said anxiously, "I always feel that this is not safe. How about you marry me directly from the Shangguan Mansion tomorrow?"
Sheng Qingtang lowered his eyes, "It will be easier to be discovered this way. Tomorrow, the red veil will be covered by Xiao's aunt, and your second brother will carry you out. It will be easy to be exposed if we rashly change people."
"Then you must come and replace me."
Soon the maid from the mansion came to urge the two to go to bed, as the bride had to be in good spirits the next day.
The two of them lay in the same bed, but they tossed and turned, unable to sleep, each with their own thoughts.
In Chuyun Pavilion, Shangguan Chuan took a break from his busy schedule to torment Mu Xi in the middle of the night. He got up with a rosy face and began to prepare for her wedding.
Mu Xi got dressed and glanced at the sky. It was almost five o'clock in the morning.
As soon as Shangguan Chuan left, the yard became completely quiet. The sisters had always been disliked and no one paid attention to them.
She pushed the door and entered Mu Yun's room. Mu Yun was wearing a linen dress with her hair tied up. In the pocket of her clothes were all the belongings she had accumulated over the years, which was only 12,000 taels of silver.
Mu Yun said nervously and uncomfortably, "Sister."
She squatted down and touched her head, saying gently and seriously, "Just like you did before, quietly run to the woodshed to find Granny Zhou, and then listen to what Granny says, okay?"
Zhou Po was someone she had helped to meet by chance. Mu Yun liked her very much and wanted to be close to her, and often went to play with her secretly.
Mu Yun nodded, "Sister, you must come to me soon."
In the darkness of night, Mu Yun slipped out, went out through a dog hole in a remote corner of the yard, and skillfully arrived at the woodshed where Mrs. Zhou lived.
The mansion was filled with joy and no one cared about the place where the lowest-ranking servants lived. What's more, she was a night maid and had always been despised in the mansion.
After Mrs. Zhou poured out the medicine and packed up the night fragrance, she placed an empty bucket on the night fragrance cart.
"Yunyun, be good. Cover your face with a scarf and plug your nose before going in. Don't make any noise, okay?"
Mu Yun nodded, and was carefully helped by Mrs. Zhou into squatting down in the bucket. Mrs. Zhou closed the lid and pushed Ye Xiang out through the back door as usual.
The gatekeeper at the back door just opened his eyelids and looked at her with disdain.
Mrs. Zhou heaved a sigh of relief and headed to the place where the night incense was poured. She turned a corner on the way and pushed the car into the woods nearby.
Jiang Xue Ning and Nangong Mo waited there calmly. After all, this was not the first time she had done such a thing.
Mrs. Zhou asked nervously, "Are you here to pick up Yunyun?"
Jiang Xue Ning nodded, and Mrs. Zhou put down the wooden cart and pulled Mu Yun out of the barrel.
Mu Yun's legs were numb from squatting, and he couldn't stand steadily, so he squatted on the ground, looking at her timidly.
Jiang Xuening walked over and took out a butterfly hair accessory. Her eyes lit up, it was a birthday gift from Muxi.
"Come with me, please. I'll take you to a safe place."
Jiang Xue Ning held her hand, and she turned back to look at Grandma Zhou reluctantly, "Grandma..."
Mrs. Zhou's eyes turned red. "It's better to leave. If you leave, don't come back."
Mrs. Zhou pushed the cart and went to pour the night incense with brisk steps, and Jiang Xue Ning took her away.
Nangong Mo looked at her with a magical look, "Tsk tsk, you actually thought of transporting people out like this, that's good. But the smell is too strong."
"Sure enough, he is a prince who is ignorant of the sufferings of the world..."
She had done something like this when she was just reborn, so she was considered very experienced.
After walking for a while, Jiang Xue Ning squatted down and said to the little girl gently, "Would you like to go with this brother?"
Even though Mu Yun was very scared, she still held back her tears and nodded. My sister said I had to be obedient.
Jiang Xue Ning pinned a butterfly hair ornament on her head and said, "You must be brave and grow up well."
This way her sister would not have wasted her life in exchange for a new life for her.
Nangong Mo took the person away, mixed her in with the diplomatic delegation and brought her on the ship back to Fuso.
She had always been eccentric and afraid of strangers, often staying in her room for days without going out. So no one in the mansion cared about her disappearance.
Sheng Qingtang and Shangguan Mingzhu were quickly awakened and began the wedding process.
Shangguan Mingzhu took a bath and changed her clothes, and then the matchmaker came to put on makeup for her. She had a cold face from beginning to end, and even though she was wearing a colorful wedding dress, there was no joy on her face.
The mansion was packed with people today. High-ranking officials and dignitaries came to offer congratulations and a grand banquet was held in the mansion.
When the auspicious time came, there was a noise. The bridegroom had arrived, and Madam Xiao personally covered Shangguan Mingzhu with a red veil.
The matchmaker helped her out, and the prince wore a Japanese wedding dress. After the two said goodbye to Shangguan Chuan, the second son carried her on his back to the bridal sedan, and the wedding procession headed to the dock.
Many people gathered around to watch. Jiang Xue Ning stood in her tea and watched calmly, "What some people don't care about, others desperately want to get."
Bai Yu said softly, "Shangguan Mingzhu made a very stupid decision."
After the wedding banquet was over and the guests were sent off, everyone in the mansion was exhausted.
Shangguan Chuan invited several tables of officials to drink. Sheng Qingtang went out from the side door in a carriage, saying only that he was going to the temple to pray for Shangguan Mingzhu, who had just got married.
Without the mistress, the harem lacked restraint. In addition, she had been helping to manage the house during this period, and no one questioned her at all.
She left Shangguan Mansion smoothly and immediately headed towards the city gate. Everything went on quietly.
In Izumo Pavilion, Mu Xi prayed in front of the Buddha statue that everything would go well. She vomited blood with a fishy taste in her mouth.
She wiped it clean with a handkerchief with an expressionless face. This was the effect of the secret medicine she had been taking during this period.
She looked up at the Buddha statue, her heart was extremely calm. It was finally the end, she would use her own body to kill the man who had ruined her.
She reverently lit three incense sticks in front of the Buddha, with a faint smile on her face.
"If the Buddha doesn't save me, I will save myself!"
