After the princess was reborn, she kissed the ruthless kidnapper

Chapter 109 "No wonder your royal brother is so against me."

Shen Changle looked past the village head and swept over the kneeling villagers.

Zhengsheng ordered:

"Today is Xiulian's wedding day, and we are all here to congratulate her. There is no need to be polite, just proceed as usual."

Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought to myself, Her Royal Highness the Princess is still very approachable!

He had lived in seclusion in their village before and was not at all arrogant.

If the county magistrate hadn't caused trouble before, they might have been able to become friends with Her Royal Highness the Princess!

Then, Shen Changle looked at Xiulian's father, who was crouching behind the village head, and asked in a gentle voice:

"Where's Xiulian? Has she gotten into the bridal sedan?"

"Ah... No, no, I'm putting on my makeup inside the house."

The village head, who had just been ignored, was feeling a little embarrassed.

Hearing this, he hurriedly pushed Xiulian's father and shouted:

"Look at you, why don't you go and call Xiulian out!"

Shen Changle glanced at the flattering headman and said lightly:

"No need. It's not proper for the bride to be seen. I'll go in and see her."

He also reminded Wang Xiao that there were many people at the wedding banquet and he must not leave Jiang Ci'an's sight.

Only then did he enter the house under the guidance of Xiulian's father.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard Xiulian's mother sobbing:

"Lian...you went there to pay off the debt you owed for your mother's medical treatment. What if they treat you badly..."

Shen Changle's heart skipped a beat.

I'm really worried about what's going to happen.

Seeing that her expression had become serious, Xiulian's father hurried into the house first.

He winked at Xiulian's mother and called out to Xiulian.

"Xiulian, the princess is here, hurry up and get up to greet her!"

Xiulian was about to cover her head with a veil, but she stood up in delight when she heard this.

Turning around, he looked towards the door.

"Second... Princess!"

Seeing her bending down to kneel with her wedding dress in hand, Shen Changle raised his hand to stop her.

"No need to be polite."

He stepped into the simple mud house and looked sideways at Xiulian's father.

"How long until the auspicious hour? I want to talk to Xiulian alone for a few words."

"Oh, there's time, there's time! You say, you say..."

Xiulian's father was considerate and helped Xiulian's mother out of the bedroom.

Shen Changle glanced at Bai Zhi.

Baizhi also retreated, closed the door and stood guard outside the house.

Only Shen Changle and her partner were left in the room, and she finally spoke.

"Xiu Lian, I see your mother is looking pretty good. Is she almost recovered?"

"Well, thanks to Her Royal Highness, my mother is feeling much better after taking the medicine."

"Then why are you still..."

Shen Changle frowned as he looked at Xiulian, who was wearing heavy makeup.

Without her saying it explicitly, Xiulian guessed what she wanted to ask.

He lowered his eyes and hesitated.

"Your Highness, do you still remember the first time I came to you to exchange eggs?

At that time, my family was penniless and no one was willing to lend money to my father to treat my mother's illness.

It was Minglang who begged his father for help, and that’s how I got the money to save my mother’s life.”

"But... didn't I give you twenty taels of silver when I left? Isn't that enough to pay off my debt?"

Xiulian smiled, tears welling up in her eyes.

I don’t know if it was because I was touched or because I felt wronged.

"Your Highness, you may not know that this marriage was arranged by my father when he borrowed the money, and it was considered part of the betrothal gift.

I can’t regret not recognizing this marriage now that I have money…”

Shen Changle still frowned.

She doesn’t understand…

What is the difference between this and pawning?

Seeing her worried look, Xiulian wanted to hold her hand, but then she timidly pulled back.

"Your Highness, don't worry about me. In fact, I'm quite glad that the person I'm going to marry is Minglang."

"Are you in love with him?"

Shen Changle asked tentatively.

Xiulian lowered her eyes shyly and nodded slightly.

"Well... Minglang is a peddler from the next village. He usually goes from street to street. I knew him before we got engaged...

If not for this, he wouldn't have asked his father to lend money to my family."

Only then did Shen Changle feel relieved.

Anyway, at least that's how it sounds...

That Minglang must be sincere to her.

Seeing her hand retracted into her sleeve, Shen Changle shook it back.

Patted it gently.

"Xiu Lian, you are a good girl, smart and filial, you deserve a better life.

If your husband treats you badly after marriage, come to Yuanyang and find me. I will support you."

Upon hearing this, Xiulian widened her eyes in surprise.

The tears welling up in my eyes finally fell.

Deeply moved.

"Your Highness... Thank you, thank you for saving my mother, thank you for appearing in my life..."

She originally thought that a girl like her who had never even left Yuanyang City...

You will never have the chance to meet a noble person like Her Royal Highness the Princess in this lifetime!

Unexpected...

She just appeared in her world quietly like that!

At the lowest point in her life, he tore through the darkness like a god emitting soft light.

After saving her mother and her entire family's lives, she quietly left the scene...

All this is like a gorgeous dream.

It illuminated her life like brilliant fireworks.

She will remember it forever...

Shen Changle saw that her makeup was about to be ruined by her tears.

Gently wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"Okay, it's your wedding day, no more crying... Is it time to get into the bridal sedan?"

Xiulian wiped her tears and nodded.

Shen Changle called the matchmaker in, watched Xiulian being covered with a red veil, and then sent her out of the house.

The yard was crowded with people.

However, Shen Changle can always locate Jiang Ci'an's location at the first moment.

Jiang Ci'an's gaze also passed over the bride and met Shen Changle's.

Worried that the crowd might bump into her, he walked over.

I feel more at ease when I hold him in my arms.

"are you hungry?"

Shen Changle shook his head and looked around but didn't see any trace of Wang Xiao.

Ask him softly:

"Where's Yiqian?"

Jiang Ci'an took her arm and walked a few steps towards the side of the house.

Only then did I see...

Xiulian's fourth sister Xiaoya was sitting on the ground crying.

Wang Xiao squatted beside her, at a loss, trying to coax her, and looked at Jin Yuan behind him for help from time to time.

"Xiao Ya, you...don't cry, you are still my best friend!"

"But you'll be playing with her from now on and will never come to see me again..."

Jin Yuan was embarrassed, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

With her eyelashes drooped, she looked at Wang Xiao with grievance as he comforted Xiao Ya.

Seeing the three little kids tangled together, Shen Changle couldn't help but smile softly with her hands covering her lips.

He signaled Xuanque to stay and look after them, and left with Jiang Ci'an.

"I didn't expect that children would be jealous of each other."

"Well, Changle didn't have it when he was a child?"

Shen Changle stared and thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"When I was little, my uncle wouldn't let me have contact with other children. I only had my brother, and he only had me. No one else could compete with me."

Hearing this, Jiang Ci'an suddenly thought of something.

She curled her lips slightly.

"No wonder your royal brother is so resistant to me."

This caused Shen Changle to slap him back.

"How can it be the same!"

Seeing her scolding him, Jiang Ci'an raised his eyebrows and stopped joking.

He took her arm and walked Xiulian out.

Outside the courtyard gate, Xiulian had been carried into the wedding sedan by her younger brother.

When the villagers saw Shen Changle coming out, they all asked her to say a few auspicious words.

Shen Changle raised his shoulders, held up his handkerchief and said:

"The same rites govern the affairs of state, uniting the two families for a happy marriage; poetry is a harmonious family, fostering a century of peace and tranquility.

Today you two have become a happy couple, and I wish you will be of one mind and one heart, respect each other like guests, and live together forever."

As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers applauded.

Xiulian in the sedan chair also laughed out loud with tears in her eyes.

But then I heard Her Royal Highness the Princess instructing the groom to come and pick him up:

"You are the one chosen by Xiulian. I hope you can cherish her and don't let her regret it."

"Yes, I will teach you."

The groom saluted with his hands folded, looking very sincere.

Shen Changle nodded.

Then everyone started playing music.

"The auspicious time has arrived, the sedan chair is ready—"
