Snow Color

Chapter 111 Wang Zhenchuan 20

Wang Baochuan, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stood gracefully on the pavilion, holding a bright hydrangea in her hand, and her eyes eagerly scanned the bustling crowd below, anxiously looking for the person she had been thinking about day and night. Finally, among the crowd, she caught a glimpse of that familiar and handsome face - Xue Pinggui was standing quietly not far away, looking up at her on the pavilion.

The moment their eyes met, it was as if time had frozen. A huge stone in Wang Baochuan's heart fell quietly to the ground, and a smile as gorgeous as a spring flower appeared on the corner of her mouth. Then, she threw the hydrangea in her hand without hesitation, like a shining meteor across the sky, flying straight to the direction where Xue Pinggui was.

Xue Pinggui leaped up with great agility, like an eagle spreading its wings, and caught the flying ball accurately. Wang Baochuan saw this, and her cheeks flushed with shyness, like a ripe apple, and her beautiful face became more lovable. At this moment, she thought to herself: "This matter is a done deal."

However, when Wang Yun noticed that it was Xue Pinggui who had won the ball, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy. Xue Pinggui was not in the original plan, and he had clearly ordered that Xue Pinggui was not allowed to get close to the embroidery building. It was obvious that someone must have dared to disobey his will and acted secretly behind his back. Wang Yun was so angry that he trembled all over, and his eyes were flashing with anger.

As a result, Wang Yun became more and more disgusted with Xue Pinggui, thinking that he was not worthy of his daughter Wang Baochuan. No matter what, he would never let Wang Baochuan and Xue Pinggui be together, and he had to find a way to stop this marriage.

Originally, he didn't have much thought about this matter. After all, no one had come to him to ask for intercession and let Xue Pinggui go to the embroidery building to see Wang Baochuan. He thought that the matter would just pass, but he never expected that someone would be so bold as to let Xue Pinggui into the embroidery building without permission! This was a heinous crime that could not be forgiven!

He must report the matter of breaking off the engagement to the emperor. No matter how angry the emperor is, he should be able to understand the good intentions of a father who does not want to marry his precious daughter to a poor beggar, right? Of course, he will definitely be scolded, but it should not be too much. For him, the emperor's rebuke is not a big problem. The most important thing is Wang Baochuan's lifelong event!

After Wang Baochuan threw the embroidered ball, she was full of joy and looked forward to meeting Xue Pinggui again and holding a wedding ceremony today. She sat upright on the bed, while Mrs. Wang and Jinchuan were very happy because Baochuan finally got what she wanted, and they had already prepared all the items needed for the wedding. At this moment, Wang Baochuan sat quietly on the bed with a red veil on her head, waiting for Xue Pinggui to come, her heart full of shyness and expectation.

Xue Pinggui came to the gate of the prime minister's residence with a hydrangea in his hand, surrounded by cheers and crowds of people. He was extremely excited, with a happy smile on his face, as if the whole world belonged to him. However, when he stepped into the prime minister's residence, he was caught off guard by another scene - Dai Zhan, who came right after him, witnessed all this. Seeing Xue Pinggui become the third son-in-law of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, he was so heartbroken that he couldn't help covering his face and crying, and turned around and ran away. Ge Qing stared blankly at Xue Pinggui's back as he walked away, tears welling up in her eyes like a broken dam. She couldn't accept this fact, and she was so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe.

Seeing his sister so sad, Ge Da, who was standing by, stepped forward and comforted her: "Sister, don't force it. Some things may be destined. Let's be more open-minded..." He patted Ge Qing's shoulder gently, trying to give her some comfort.

At this moment, Wang Yun's face was extremely gloomy. He never thought that a poor beggar would become his son-in-law! Sitting in the spacious and bright hall, he said nothing, and the anger in his heart was burning. Seeing this, Mrs. Wang walked slowly, still with a gentle smile on her face. But Wang Yun just snorted coldly, turned his head and ignored it.

Mrs. Wang said softly, "My lord, since it's a marriage proposal in the brothel, the matter of throwing the embroidered ball to choose a son-in-law is entirely up to fate. Even if you are reluctant, what can you do now that the matter is done? In my opinion, it would be better to betroth Baochuan to Xue Pinggui." After saying this, she looked at Wang Yun quietly, waiting for his response.

"Hmph! What do you mean by fate being determined by heaven? If it is true as you said, then is Xue Pinggui's appearance around the embroidery building also destined by heaven? If Wang Baochuan hadn't done it on purpose and brought him into it, how could this happen? This is clearly a conspiracy!" Wang Yun roared angrily.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang felt helpless. She thought that things had come to this point, and since Wang Baochuan was the one who chose him willingly, what was wrong with that?

Soon, a servant came to report that Xue Pinggui had arrived. Upon hearing this, Wang Yun immediately ordered someone to bring him here to meet him.

Mrs. Wang thought that since the matter was done and there was no room for maneuver, she made up her mind: "After the two of them recognize each other as relatives, I will implore the prime minister to find an official position for Xue Pinggui as soon as possible. This way, he will not be laughed at by others." Mrs. Wang knew that only by doing this could she stop the gossips.

……

Xue Pinggui walked into the hall happily with a hydrangea in his hand, then knelt on his knees and respectfully greeted his father-in-law.

"I am Xue Pinggui, the son-in-law, and I am here to meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law!" His voice was loud and firm.

Mrs. Wang was delighted to see this and was about to ask Xue Pinggui to stand up, but was interrupted by Wang Yun's scolding: "Wait!"

Wang Yun's face was gloomy, and he stared at Xue Pinggui sternly, saying coldly: "Xue Pinggui, you are so brave!"

Xue Pinggui's heart tightened, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face, but he quickly responded: "I don't understand what my father-in-law means, please explain it to me."

Wang Yun snorted coldly, his tone becoming even colder: "Shut up! I have not yet acknowledged you as my son-in-law, so stop calling me father-in-law. I can't bear it!"

Hearing this, Xue Pinggui's heart sank, realizing that this might be a deliberate harassment. He couldn't help but worry secretly, and Mrs. Wang, who was standing beside him, looked at Xue Pinggui with deep worry in her eyes.

"Xue Pinggui, I want to ask you, everyone who comes to the embroidery building to find a wife has an invitation, how did you get in?" Wang Yun asked.

"This... that is..." Xue Pinggui had nothing to say. He couldn't tell Su Long and the others. He had nothing to say.
