Chapter 656: Cuscuta Cousin 20
[There's no hope. Song Yuwan is just a love-brained person.]
[She just can’t help herself from loving Ji Yunxiu. She ran away at her coming-of-age party last time and I thought she had let it go. Tsk tsk.]
[Love-minded, never turn back until you hit the wall.]
Sheng Huan raised his eyebrows as he listened to the barrage message from 458.
Even with the existence of barrage, Song Yuwan obviously still has love for Ji Yunxiu. Perhaps, in Song Yuwan's view, the tragic love between her and Ji Yunxiu described in the barrage is not true. After all, she has not experienced it personally.

This betrothal gift caused heated discussions outside.
Everyone almost thought that the marriage would fail since it was so humiliating, but unexpectedly it succeeded in the end.
No one knew that Minister Song was unwilling.
That night, the father and daughter had a violent argument.
"You can't marry."
Song Yuwan stiffened his neck.
"Father! Yun Xiu promised me that I would have a sedan chair carried by eight people! This betrothal gift was just because Aunt Ji was angry for a while."
"Are you angry for a moment?! The Ji family clearly looks down on our Song family. I will send someone to the Ji family to exchange for the birth certificate! You will have to shave your head and become a nun from now on."
"Why? I want to marry!"
"Pa!" A slap hit Song Yuwan's face.
Song Yuwan covered her face and said, "I'm going to get married!"
The father and daughter parted unhappily.
As a result, although Song Yuwan was the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, her dowry did not seem to be very rich. Fortunately, Madam Song took out some more from her own dowry.

April fourteenth.
In the blink of an eye, four days passed.
In the mansion of Duke Fu.
Sheng Huan is trying on clothes.
"Girl looks good in all of these."
Sheng Huan looked in the mirror and said, "I'll wear this tomorrow. The clothes my aunt picked out can never be wrong."
Tomorrow is the day Song Yuwan and Ji Yunxiu get married.
The invitations have been sent out, and although there is a lot of discussion outside, many people want to join in the fun.
After all, there was no falling out.

Chunhuayuan.
"Master, what does the higher-ups mean?" Madam Fu looked at her husband who had just returned from court.
Didn't we say it would only happen in a few days? But it's been almost five or six days now, and no one in the palace has seen any news.
Master Fu Er patted his wife's hand, hiding his heaviness.
"The Imperial Concubine Xiao in the palace is ill, so I guess that's why it's delayed."
Madam Fu clenched her palms.
What does the emperor mean by this? He has already given their daughter a warning before she even enters the palace!
Why haven't I seen him delay before?
Master Fu Er felt heavy in his heart.
What does it mean in the palace? Thinking of his niece, Master Fu said, "Ying'er will stay at home for tomorrow's wedding banquet."
Madam Fu raised her head suddenly. She was not happy at first, but after understanding her husband's eyes, her lips trembled: "Master, do you mean... at the wedding banquet, someone might harm Ying'er?"
"Just my guess."
Mrs. Fu's face turned pale. How could he make such a suggestion without some kind of confirmation?
-
study.
After hearing what his brother said, Duke Fu suddenly raised his eyes and said, "Second brother, have you ever thought about the situation where the Duke's Mansion is without a master? If that is true, will Ying'er be in greater danger?"
Tomorrow, except for those attending the wedding banquet, all other masters have official business.
"Tomorrow, let Shi Rui and Ying Er stay together. In the Song Mansion, even if there are guards protecting them in secret, it won't matter."
They probably all knew that if the higher-ups wanted to allow Fu Shirui to enter the palace, they would never let Fu Shirui's innocence be exposed. But Shen Huiying was different. She was obviously more dangerous than anyone else.

royal palace.
The secret guard knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged and we can start the action tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhenghua spread out the bright yellow imperial edict, stroked his beard, and signed on the paper with a few "swish" sounds.
The corners of his lips were grim. When he raised his head, he looked in the direction of Duke Fu's mansion. In an instant, a strong disgust surged in his eyes: "Remember, make a big fuss. The bigger the better."
The Duke's Mansion, what kind of imperial concubine, are they worthy? In an instant, Emperor Zhenghua thought of Imperial Concubine Xiao in the palace again, and his brows furrowed as if he had eaten a fly.
"Don't let me down."
"Yes, I obey."
Neither of them noticed that a few wisps of catkins were flying happily around them.
