An ugly girl starts off, then becomes a beauty

The Nie family came over to give instructions before midnight.

Sang Feng'e settled the matter just now, and asked someone to help Sang Ling back to the bridal chamber. Madam Zhao Yu knelt on the soft mat in front of the couch, wiped away the tears in her eyes, and said a few words to Sang Feng'e. Sang Ling's eyes turned away from the two of them coldly.

Not long after, Nie Taigong also arrived. He touched the ground with his staff and knelt in front of Sang Ling.

The elders were in front, so even if she was a new bride, she had to follow the others and go forward to pay her respects. I only heard Grandpa Nie twisting his beard and saying in a deep voice, "I don't know where this naughty boy has gone, but don't worry, the Nie family will definitely give the Sang family an explanation. Even if he runs away to the horizon, the Nie family will definitely catch him and bring him back to you to apologize for his crime."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights on the branches became lush and dim, and the red gauze veil became gradually dim. Sang Ling lowered his eyes and sneered, without responding.

Later, it was Sang Feng'e who came forward to greet them. Grandpa Nie sighed for a while again and did not stay in the young man's bridal chamber for long.

Instead, Madam Zhaoyu stepped forward, took Sang Ling's hand and patted it, skipping the matter of Nie Ce's escape from marriage and talking about the things in the backyard.

"If there really is someone in the mansion taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, don't worry, mother will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Sang Ling finally came to his senses, but when he looked back, he saw that Madam Zhaoyu had a face full of sorrow. The groom was missing on the wedding night, and the maidservant beside the bride died. Things happened one after another. If it wasn't the work of these people in front of him, they must have been upset.

Who would want to have so many unnecessary things happen at this time? Especially on such a special day as today.

only--

The daughter of the Sang family had sparkling eyes as she looked around at everyone in the room at the moment. In addition to a group of servants and maids, there were also a few women in gorgeous clothes. She could not recognize them clearly. Some of them were older, and some looked about the same age as her.

Is the murderer among them?

Or did the lady really slip and fall into the well without paying attention? But how could she have walked to the well in the flower garden if she had not taken the proper path with the stone lanterns?

However, when Madam Zhaoyu said this, it also indirectly told everyone that even if the wedding ceremony had not been held tonight, Sang Ling had already been recognized as a wife of the Nie family. After all, the word "mother" had come out, so who among the people present dared to say "no"?

Even Sang Feng'e, who was from the Nie family's family, did not say anything. She just rolled her eyes slightly, revealing some unhappiness - that night she refused the Nie family's invitation to stay overnight, and after settling Sang Ling down, she returned to the Gao Mansion.

Madam Zhaoyu later arranged for two maids to serve Sang Ling, but she sent them all down to the corridor and did not call them in to serve him all night.

In the first half of the night, she quietly took off the complicated hair accessories on her head, changed out of her wedding dress, and sat on a mat in the next room. She did not go near the bed, but waited until the sky turned pale and the sunlight shone into the room through the window. Only then did she blink her eyes in a trance.

She was about to ask someone to help her wash up and was about to ask about the plans for the day, but just as she stood up, someone covered her mouth.

The man's movements were so fast and powerful that she had no time to react. She couldn't even see the man's face clearly before he was dragged into the back room of the wedding room.

The curtains on both sides were drawn down, blocking out the light. She could only see a tall man. She turned around and wanted to elbow him when he was not prepared, but the man was faster and tied her hands in an instant.

"it's me."

"Nie Ce?" She immediately stopped struggling.

As the two of them moved, a corner of the curtain was lifted up, and through the layers of sunlight, the man behind her let go of her and was about to speak.

There was a slapping sound, and he obviously hadn't reacted yet, covering his face in shock. Sang Ling wished he could slap him again.

"what you do!"

"Good question, what did you say I did?" She struggled to get away, "Where did you go? It was fun, wasn't it?"

"I—" Nie Jialang raised his eyebrows slightly, "I went to Putian."

Putian - Sang Ling was also stunned for a moment. The last time he heard this place name was from Sang Feng'e, who said Gao Heng was in Putian.

"A gentleman does not take away what others like. You and Gao Aman are willing to do this. I will not make things difficult for you. Pack your things quickly and I will take you to see him."

She took a while to react to these words, "Did your cousin ask you to take me there, or did you arrange it yourself?"

After asking, she didn't listen to Nie Ce's answer. She only saw his lips moving. Before he could finish his words, he pulled her hand again and said, "Don't be so nagging. Come with me first."

"You arranged it yourself, right?" She threw away her long sleeves and stood still without moving.

Nie Cexian frowned in annoyance, and after a moment's silence, he said with difficulty, "Forget it. You should know Gao Aman well. He is a taciturn person. He will not agree to such a risky thing. But don't worry, I will take care of it. You can tell them later that I don't want to marry you. You and Gao Aman can settle down in Pufeng, and you don't have to worry about this matter anymore."

"You think it's simple." She used to think that Nie Ce was more stable than the other male students in the sect, but now, looking at him, he is still just an ignorant young man.

It's obvious that Gao Heng can't abandon Chang'an.

Not to mention the high position and honor, how could he do this just for Sang Feng'e? He only had this one relative in the world. Even if Nie Ce was willing to take all the responsibility, the gains and losses here were not something he could really afford alone.

Without waiting for Nie Ce to reply, she met his gaze again, gritted her teeth and swallowed down her aroused emotions, tears welling up in her eyes, "Nie Ce, my maid died last night, she died in the well behind here."

"Died in your house."
