Duke Jing's younger sister

Chapter 232 Xiao Shen's Good

Something big must have happened in this palace.

They know nothing now. If even the Third Prince's Mansion is in danger, then the Shen Mansion will certainly not be able to remain immune.

She closed her eyes tightly, forcing herself to calm down.

She believed Shen Beiqi, and she believed that he would not give her those few instructions for no reason.

She wouldn't believe a single word of the news about him that was spread by others!

I can't believe it either!

"Listen, when you go in, tell her that the Third Prince has sent someone to the northern border with an urgent message, asking her to wait for three days... no... seven days. Tell her that she will get back the news in seven days."

Luo Zhi understood that the girl wanted to give the lady some hope.

"But...what about seven days later?"

"Seven days later..."

Jiang Li turned around helplessly and looked at the dark clouds rising over Jiangdu City. "We can only take it one step at a time."

I don’t know if they will still be alive in seven days.

Luo Zhi reported back to Yang as Jiang Li had instructed.

At this time, rather than despair, Yang would rather believe in unknown hope.

Just like a candlelight immersed in the fog, even if it is weak, there is always a glimmer of hope.

Jiang Li asked Nanny Cen to cook some porridge.

Shen Zhiyan sat beside the couch, feeding Yang in small sips. Jiang Li thought for a moment and said,

"The most important thing now is Zhiyan's wedding tomorrow. Mother, you have to make a decision."

Yang had calmed down a little at this moment, and she understood what Jiang Li meant.

Xiao Wenyuan will come to pick up the bride tomorrow, so it would be a bit too much to suggest postponing the wedding date at this moment.

After all, the wedding banquet is a matter between two families. The Shen family is preparing, and Prince Rui is also organizing it in a big way.

Even though Yang was no longer in the mood, she still had to hold on and complete the wedding banquet.

"The wedding banquet cannot be cancelled," Yang said, "Zhiyan will get on the bridal sedan as usual tomorrow. Li'er, are you willing to help mother take care of her tomorrow?"

"Of course my daughter is willing." Jiang Li said.

Yang nodded and sighed, "Although your brother's life or death is still unknown, the news of his death in the battle has spread like wildfire in Jiangdu City. The Shen family is in a turbulent time, so it is inevitable that someone will want to take advantage of the situation. Can you hold on?"

Jiang Li forced a smile on her lips, "With mother here, my daughter can hold on."

Even if you can't hold on, you have to hold on.

At night, the entire Shen Mansion was illuminated by red lanterns.

Every few steps along the corridor, red silk fluttered under the lights.

Although it was a happy day, the whole house was immersed in a depressing atmosphere.

Masters like Jiang Li were worried about Shen Beiqi's life or death.

The servants in the mansion were worried about their future.

The person who supports the Duke's Mansion is Shen Beiqi.

Now that Shen Beiqi has fallen, where should these monkeys go?

Jiang Li stood in the corridor, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

The autumn wind blows, and occasionally dead leaves float down from the branches and fall to the ground. In the quiet night, the sound becomes clearer.

Before I knew it, my face was covered with wet marks.

Shen Hengzhi——

You must come back safely!

As long as he can come back safely, no matter what he wants, no matter what he wants to do.

As long as she has it, she can have it!

......

Accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, the Xiao family's wedding procession stopped in front of the Shen family's gate amid the onlookers of the people.

Shen Zhiyan didn't sleep all night.

When putting on makeup, her eyes were swollen like walnuts.

The matchmaker put powder on her face and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and the makeup on her face could not stay on at all.

The bridesmaid was quite helpless.

She had never heard of Shen Beiqi, so she stood beside Shen Zhiyan and was very puzzled by her appearance.

It is said that Prince Rui and Miss Shen are in love with each other, so why does it look like the bride was forced into marriage?

You can tell from those eyes that she has been crying for a long time.

Jiang Li had just come back from the kitchen. When he saw this scene, he let out a long sigh and walked forward to take the pancake from the matchmaker's hand.

"Second sister, the people who went to the North to investigate the news haven't come back yet. How could you make such a hasty conclusion?"

Jiang Li took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped away the tears from her eyes, dipped it in powder, and put makeup on Shen Zhiyan.

"We in Nanwu have never advocated crying at weddings. If you keep crying like this, I'm afraid I'll cry too."

"Ali..." Shen Zhiyan held her hand, "You didn't lie to us, right?"

Jiang Li has always been a thoughtful person. Her mother looked as if she was living a life worse than death last night. If it weren't for her words, she would have probably hit her head against the wall and killed herself.

Shen Zhiyan knew that she was lying.

She felt that her mother also knew that Jiang Li was lying, but was still willing to believe it.

It’s not because Jiang Li’s lying skills are so superb and perfect, but because her mother hopes that it is true.

"I'm not lying to you, it's true,"

Jiang Li forced a smile and said, "On such a happy day today, Second Sister, please don't cry anymore."

Since Jiang Li said she didn't lie to them, then she definitely didn't.

Shen Zhiyan nodded, tried to calm down, and finally stopped crying.

Jiang Li suppressed the tears in her eyes and continued to put makeup on Shen Zhiyan with a smile.

But that smile made people feel extremely bitter.

Yang and Shen Beiqi's second uncle Shen Chuanzhi were entertaining guests in the front hall.

People in Jiangdu city are used to changing their attitudes according to the situation.

After hearing the news of Shen Beiqi's death in battle, they realized that the Shen family was doomed, and the number of guests was more than half less than when Shen Zhiyan accepted the marriage proposal.

Yang's face still looked bad, and she was in no mood to worry about these things.

All dignity and glory are nothing compared to her son's life.

She even felt a little regretful.

Knowing clearly that his son loved Jiang Li, why did he try to separate them again and again?

After Shen Zhiyan covered her head with the veil, she was led to the front hall by the matchmaker.

Yang's eyes followed her daughter, who was dressed in wedding gown, and she watched her kneel down and salute at the call of the matchmaker.

After drinking the tea offered by Xiao Wenyuan, Yang stood up and hugged Shen Zhiyan tightly.

In fact, instead of cancelling the wedding, there is another plan.

If Shen Beiqi is really dead...

Shen Zhiyan married into the Rui Wang Mansion, so even if the Shen family fell in the future, she would always be able to survive.

Yang burst into tears and patted her cheek under the veil.

"Yan'er, from today on you are a member of the Xiao family. Mother hopes that you can love and spend your life with your husband."

In the future, if the Shen family cannot be her support, at least she still has the Xiao family.

She gave Xiao Wenyuan a few more instructions, hoping that he would treat Shen Zhiyan well in the future.
