After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil

Lin Yanyu was pulled out of bed early by her mother and surrounded by several women in front of the dressing table. She was still a little dazed until Aunt Pang put a hot towel on her face and she came to her senses.

Aunt Lin took a thin thread and twisted it around her face, chanting auspicious words: "One twist makes life sweet, two twists make life beautiful, three twists make husband and wife stay together forever, one twist makes everything go smoothly, two twists..."

Lin Yanyu couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Holding a wooden comb, Lin's mother stroked her long black hair and soothed her: "All women have to go through this, just bear with it."

After the hair was combed, Lin's mother took a wooden comb and began to perform the three-combing ceremony.

"Comb once to the end of your head, and your eyes will be even with your head. Comb twice to the end of your head, and your life will end. Comb three times..."

As I read it, tears fell.

Lin Yanyu held her mother's hand and coaxed her softly, "Mom, don't cry. Today is our daughter's big day. You must be happy."

The women also offered their consolation.

"Meiying, your daughter is getting married not far away, it's only a short distance to go back and forth, look at yourself, why are you crying?"

Mother Lin held back her tears and said with a forced smile, "You are right."

She was skillful and made her daughter into an elaborate bun.

At this time, Aunt Pang brought the wedding dress and jewelry box, and a group of women worked together to put makeup on Lin Yanyu, put flowers in her hair, and change her wedding dress.

When the makeup was finished, the women exclaimed in amazement.

"This kind of elegance and grace is something that even the noble ladies in our county may not be able to match. Meiying, is your daughter the reincarnation of a fairy?"

She was wearing a bright red wedding gown with colorful embroidery, a pile of big red silk flowers on her hair, and a small phoenix hairpin with a pearl inserted diagonally. She had a smooth white face, watery eyes, and a small mouth with lip balm that looked pouty, as if covered with a layer of sweet honey.

"As an old woman, my heart is beating fast when I see this. Wouldn't the groom be completely fascinated when he sees this?"

"That kid Li Yanqi got a good deal."

"Don't look at it, don't look at it. It's almost time for an auspicious moment. Let's go out and give the mother and daughter some time to talk."

Aunt Fat held a woman in one hand and led everyone out of the room.

Lin Yanyu's hand was held by Lin's mother, and the two sat down beside the bed.

"You have been very sensible since you were a child, so I don't have much to say to you. The world is in chaos now, and your parents are old. They can't protect you forever. Husband and wife are the ones who walk hand in hand for a lifetime. Marry him and support each other and live a good life with Yan Qi."

She held her mother's hand, patted it gently, and said with a smile: "I know, mother, don't worry."

Mother Lin thought of something and whispered in her daughter's ear, "I rolled up your dowry in the quilt and put it in the mahogany box that holds the bedding. The three thousand taels that the Yin family gave you as compensation, plus the five thousand taels that Yan Qi gave as a betrothal gift, makes a total of eight thousand taels."

Without waiting for his daughter to speak, he continued, "I know what you want to say. Your father and I are the only two of us. We can't spend all your father's annual salary. Yan Qi is in the officialdom, making arrangements, entertaining friends, and dealing with people. When you get married and get pregnant, which one won't cost money?"

Lin Yanyu looked at her mother disapprovingly, but knowing her stubbornness, she had no choice but to nod.

Mother Lin stood up and looked towards the door.

"Okay, it's getting late. I'm going to go out and see if the wedding procession has arrived."

Time passed minute by minute, and until the 9:00 p.m., the Lin family still hadn't seen the wedding procession.

Mother Lin walked into her daughter's room with a sad face, and asked worriedly, "Why hasn't Yan Qi come yet? Did something happen on the way?"

"Mom, don't worry, nothing will happen. I guess there's no elders over there to help take care of it, so they're too busy and it took a while. Let's wait a little longer."

Mother Lin was panicking, but she tried to remain calm and said, "I hope so. I'll go out and get you something to eat."

Lin Yanyu finished a bowl of longan and lotus seed soup, but there was still no movement from the wedding procession.

Mother Lin was completely panicked. She paced back and forth in the room, muttering: "If I don't come soon, I will miss the auspicious time. What should I do?"

Lin Yanyu wanted to comfort her mother, but she didn't know what reason to use. She thought to herself: What the hell is this person doing?

...

By the time Li Yanqi used his lightness skills to reach the charity cemetery in the shortest time, Liu Cheng had already turned the cemetery upside down.

"I thought County Magistrate Li would not come to the wedding today, so I took the initiative to come here. I hope County Magistrate Li will not mind."

"Where is Li Zhaofeng?"

Li Yanqi's face was gloomy, and his eyes were like some kind of bird of prey, staring at Liu Cheng's bark face.

"I have to ask you this, Lieutenant Li? I don't know who tipped off Li Zhaofeng in advance. I have looked for him several times in the charity cemetery, but I can't find him. But what's the use?"

Liu Cheng laughed sinisterly, "Unless he leaves Yunlong County, I will definitely catch him. Once I catch this murderer, I will notify Li Xianwei as soon as possible, and we will torture him together. Oh, I said so much, I almost forgot that Li Xianwei is getting married today... Li Yanqi, you! Stop! Aren't you afraid that I will beat Li Zhaofeng to death? Stop!"

No matter how he threatened behind his back, Li Yanqi turned around and strode away from the mass grave.

As long as that damn old guy isn’t caught by Liu Cheng, it’ll be fine. Damn old guy, you better hide well for me!

Now no matter who is behind his back, he can endure it, and everything will wait until he gets married.

No one can think of anything good until he gets married.

The guests at the Lin family's side had already sensed that something was wrong, and they were whispering to each other.

Mr. Lin's leg had almost healed. He and Uncle Lin stood at the door and looked around. Their eyes were dazzled, but they didn't see the wedding procession. They looked at each other, their faces filled with worry.

Seeing that the sun was getting higher and higher, even if Li Yanqi rushed to the Lin family now, picked up the bride, and then returned to the mansion to worship, it would be too late.

Most of the visitors were neighbors, and they were all on good terms. No one was gossiping, but there were some who couldn't keep quiet and said to the person next to them, "Why hasn't the wedding procession arrived yet? Did Li the county lieutenant regret his engagement?"

Lin's mother happened to be passing by and heard it. She was so angry that her eyes turned red: "What are you talking about? We are from the same village, how can you be so intolerant of others?"

The woman was embarrassed by the rebuke, but she still said stubbornly: "It's already late for the wedding, why don't you let me talk to you?"

Mother Lin was shaking with anger and wanted to argue with her.

"I'm coming!"

Lin Xiucai's excited voice came from the door.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Li Yanqi looked disheveled, his hair stuck to his forehead, his face covered with sweat, his long eyelashes hung with fragile beads of sweat, his lips turned bright red from the intense exercise, he was breathing heavily, the collar of his bright red groom's suit was crooked, his whole body exuded a messy and decadent beauty.

He seemed to have been running all the way here.
