Chapter 126
At this time, the sedan chair had already arrived at the gate of the mansion. Several disaster victims on the street suddenly bumped into the sedan chair, which swayed left and right and almost fell to the ground. Several sedan bearers took a long time to stabilize the sedan chair and gently put it down.
"What's going on?" Zhou Ziyue was very annoyed.
He knew that the disaster victims were going to cause trouble today, and this matter was in charge of Li Zihan, a young cavalry captain who was selected at the banquet at the Yongning Marquis' Mansion last time.
Li Zi Han was supposed to guide the victims to the Song Mansion, so why did he rush to his door now?
What is this Li Zi Han doing?
Zhou Ziyue was annoyed and wanted Liu An to find Li Zihan, but Liu An said, "Prince, our team is too conspicuous today, and we are carrying dowries, which may have attracted the attention of the victims. Let's welcome the bride in first. It's a small matter if the sedan chair is knocked over by the victims. If our affairs affect the prince's important event today, it will be troublesome."
This is true.
Zhou Ziyue was in a bad mood.
But there was nothing he could do at this time. He could only say to the person in the sedan chair: "Yuer, we are home, you can get off now."
A breeze blew, the curtain of the sedan chair was blown up, and an enticing fragrance came to the face.
It makes people feel dazed when they smell it.
Tang Wanru walked out of the sedan chair gracefully, holding her skirt.
Zhou Ziyue smelled the charming fragrance and gazed at her delicate figure.
Somehow, I suddenly felt my heart stop beating for a moment.

On the other side, Tang Yue'er was leaning proudly in the sedan chair. She secretly lifted a corner of her veil and looked out from the curtain of the sedan chair that was blown open by the wind, and saw Bai Yanli riding a horse in front of her.
Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly looked away.
I’m finally going to marry into the Bai family.
After so many twists and turns, she is still Bai Yanli's wife.
Tang Wanru designed so many tricks, but in the end the second young master of the Bai family was still hers.
Tang Wanru, that bitch!
She deserves to marry into the Yongning Marquis’ Mansion and suffer!
Thinking of this, Tang Yue'er's facial features under the veil were distorted with joy. At this moment, the bottom of the sedan seemed to hit something and suddenly shook. Tang Yue'er was shaken and almost fell out of the sedan. She quickly reached out to hold the window.
"What happened?" Tang Yue'er coughed deliberately and covered her mouth with her sleeve while speaking.
Song the matchmaker who was following the sedan chair replied, "My lady, it's nothing serious. The sedan chair just hit a big rock and shook a bit."
Stone?
Tang Yue'er's heart skipped a beat. How could there be such a huge rock on the main road in the capital?
She leaned back into the sedan chair, lifted the curtain on the other side and peeked out secretly. Outside was actually a stretch of mountains.
How did she come to the outskirts of Beijing?
She hesitated in her heart, but heard the sound of horse hooves, and then Bai Yanli's voice came: "Wanru, are you okay?"
Tang Yueer quickly lowered her veil and whispered, "No." She paused and asked in a low voice, "Aren't we going to get married at Bai's house? Why are we in the suburbs of Beijing?"
Bai Yanli found it ridiculous.
How could anyone learn Tang Wanru's bell-like voice?
He replied coldly: "The ceremony will be held in the Bai family's mansion in the suburbs of Beijing."
It turned out to be the case.
"Oh." Tang Yue'er didn't think much about it.
The team continued to move forward. On the small road outside Beijing, a few people who looked like disaster victims were walking with shifty eyes.
Bai Yanli's eyes swept over them.
A hint of coldness flashed across his pupils.
Suddenly, one of the victims took out a sharp blade from the bag on his back. He stared at the thirty big red boxes in Bai Yanli's team with greed in his eyes: "Brothers, there are good things!"
As soon as these words were spoken, dozens of strong men in ragged clothes and holding knives stood up from the surrounding hills.
Suiqi's eyes flashed, and he immediately pulled his horse's head tight and said, "There are robbers!"
The wedding procession immediately fell into chaos. The eight people carrying the sedan chair were so frightened that their legs went weak when they heard this. The two diagonal corners of Tang Yue'er's sedan chair lost their support and fell to the ground with a "bang".
Tang Yue'er lost her balance in the sedan chair and fell out headfirst...

In front of the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
At this time, braziers and other items had been prepared in front of the door of the marquis's mansion. Two rows of maids and old women stood respectfully on both sides, waiting for the bride to light the brazier.
Tang Wanru gently lifted the hem of her skirt with her two fair hands and walked up the stairs to the Marquis' Mansion.
Zhou Ziyue followed her. He wanted to support her, but she nimbly avoided him.
Arrived in front of the brazier.
Tang Wanru suddenly stopped.
Zhou Ziyue was stunned. Seeing that the flame was burning high, he thought she was afraid to take a step, so he said, "I'll carry you over." Then he bent down and picked her up by the waist.
As soon as this action happened, the maids on both sides couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
They thought to themselves that their prince was really thoughtful.
But Tang Wanru took a light step back, and he missed her again.
Matchmaker Zhang, who had been following all the way, stepped forward and said, "What's the matter, my lady? Jumping over the fire basin is to help the mansion avoid misfortune and bring prosperity. It is an important gift for marriage. You can only enter the mansion if you jump over it."
Of course she knew the meaning of this gift.
But that was the end of her game today.
Tang Wanru remained calm. After listening to what Matchmaker Zhang said, she not only did not move forward, but instead took a step back.
"you--"
This stunned everyone present. What did the bride mean? The crowd outside were also very surprised. What happened?
In the front hall inside the gate, Mrs. Du, who was sitting waiting for the gift, was also very puzzled. She and the old marquis looked at each other and wondered, what trouble has the daughter of the Tang family caused again?
"Miss Tang Er, hurry up. If you don't go in, the auspicious time will pass." Matchmaker Zhang advised.
Tang Wanru remained motionless.
The people around were anxious and angry, not sure what the bride meant.
Zhou Ziyue stood there, staring at her motionlessly. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and whispered to her under the veil: "Wanru, marry me!"
