The morning of the second day. The main hall of the Ling Residence was completely silent as Ling Shuang and Fang Yu stood at the side with their heads lowered. The Old Madam Ling in the main seat had an ice-cold expression on her face.
"Old Madam Ling's gaze was sharp like a blade as she chopped at Fang Family and her son," Although Ling Family has declined, she has not fallen to the point of being bullied by others. Forget it, I'll just go to the palace today and seek an audience with the empress dowager to make the decision for our family's Shuang Er … "
Fang Xiu Wen's forehead started perspiring. His own son, Fang Yu, had always been a dishonest man, but he did not expect that he would actually dare to molest Great General of the West this time around.
"Shuang Er, what do you think?" Old Madam Ling's face darkened.
Just as Ling Shuang was about to speak, she did not expect that there would be a commotion at the Ling Residence gates. The butler came in quickly to report that the from the palace had come. Old Madam Ling could not help but be shocked, she did not expect that the weird looks that Fang Yu and Ling Shuang showed last night would reach the palace so quickly. It was obvious that Emperor had a lot of eyes and ears, and was worried about Ling Shuang.
Furthermore, this Wei Gonggong had actually brought along an dictum from the Emperor. Last night's affair between the Second Young Master of the Fang Family and the General Ling could be said to have been heard by the entire crowd, and the emperor must be so happy that he was about to laugh. Just like when he married his own daughter, his heart felt like a huge rock had finally dropped to the ground.
"The Emperor's dictum is that Duke of Ling's daughter, Ling Shuang, is virtuous and generous, warm and kind. Prime Minister Fang Xiu Wen's son, Fang Yu, was talented and peerless. I hope that the wedding ceremony will end soon, and that I'll be able to receive you here! "
This order came in a timely and strange manner, causing Fang Xiu Wen to let out a sigh in shock. It was clear that Ling Family had long been prepared for it, and he could only accept it.
Fang Yu was incomparably dejected at the moment, as though such a marriage was a great grievance to him.
Ling Shuang smirked, it was really too much of a loss for Fang Yu to be the movie empress.
On the third day of May, Xuande City was surrounded by a crowd. The first dowry had already arrived at the Fang Residence, and the last dowry hadn't even left the Ling Family's residence yet.
The only direct descendant of the Old Madam Ling was his daughter, so she had naturally made the best of the Ling Residence her concubine. She had even included a manor in the outskirts of the capital as part of the betrothal.
Ling Shuang was a little apprehensive, she knew the wealth of Ling Family. When the Duke of Ling was still alive, he had left behind a warning. The generals who came out of the Ling Family must not cry for blood, and must not gulp down their pay. In addition, every time the Emperor bestowed a reward, it would be distributed to the brothers who followed him into death.
Therefore, Ling Family was already an empty air, although Old Madam Ling did not say anything, Ling Shuang was able to see everything that was happening clearly.
Because of this, she had almost emptied her father's book collection hall and secretly left the letter in the manor for her nephew.
Ling Shuang who was sitting inside the bridal sedan was a pauper from head to toe, but she was not afraid of being shoeless. Since she had already reached this step, she could only grit her teeth and continue walking.
As the Emperor was the one that bestowed the marriage on them, the people of the Fang Family did not dare to neglect their duties. Fang Family who was initially not highly regarded by the others, unexpectedly had managed to get married in such a glorious manner.
After bowing, Ling Shuang was sent to the Southern Garden's wedding room. The moment they walked into the Southern Garden, the married Cha Zi and Yan Hong were immediately stunned.
The courtyard of the Southern Garden was very far away from the front yard. Other than the three main houses that had been slightly renovated, the rest of the houses were dilapidated. There was even grass growing in the yard?
Ling Shuang sat upright on the bed in the wedding room, the Fang Family didn't even send a single maidservant to serve him.
Cha Zi and Yan Hong couldn't help but be dissatisfied as they looked at the quiet wedding room. They had already expected that the Mrs Fang's family was the number one family in the capital, the Chen family. A few years ago, the Duke of Ling and the Chen family's Marquis Jing'an had a fight to the death, which resulted in their hatred.
"Eldest Miss, isn't this Fang Family a bit too much?"
Ling Shuang slowly removed the veil over her head and played around with it in her hands, the corners of her mouth flushed with a cold smile.
"The marriage between me and Fang Yu already shamed Fang Family, and now that my military power has been taken away, Ling Family is left with a few old and weak patients. Do you think that the Fang Family has a reason to curry favor with a new woman like me? They wanted us to die quickly so we wouldn't mess with them. The martial arts on the outside were beautiful, but the people inside … Hehe … "Let's just wait and see!"
"Eldest Miss, can we not marry anymore? When Eldest Miss returned to Ling Family, how could anyone still be in pain? This kind of humiliation is really too much, "Yan Hong did not expect Eldest Miss to suffer so much on her very first day.
"What a joke, can it be that I, your Young Miss, can't even endure this little bit of hardship? I'm not that kind of dainty aristocratic lady, looking for death if I feel bad about it. This courtyard is rather quiet, suitable for cultivation. "
Ling Shuang sent the two crying little girls out of the house, took off the complicated wedding robes, and laid on the bed with her limbs spread out.
Just as he was about to close his eyes to take a nap, the wedding door was suddenly pushed open, and Fang Yu who was dressed in a red wedding gown, staggered in, reeked of alcohol.
Right now, Ling Shuang was not afraid of anything bad happening to the Fang Family. Instead, she was afraid of this Fang Yu who did not follow common sense.
When Cha Zi and Yan Hong saw Fang Yu walk in, they closed the door from the outside with red faces.
Sparks burst out from the red candle, and under the candlelight, Fang Yu appeared even more beautiful than before. Ling Shuang laughed bitterly and threw away the word that was inappropriate. She had met Fang Yu a total of two times, but she never expected to live in the same house as Fang Yu.
Fang Yu carefully observed Ling Shuang who was lying on the bed. The black bun in her hair had already been scattered, and the heavy bride's headgear outside was also missing. The red makeup on her body was much less rigid and much more supple. She couldn't help but be moved.
He bent down to take off his boots, and just as he was about to climb onto the bed, Ling Shuang suddenly said: "Fang Yu, split up the beds and go to sleep."
Fang Yu was startled, his face was pale, this woman was truly … Really …
"That... Everyone outside Ling Shuang is watching, acting is so good that you have to do it well enough, don't you think so? "
Ling Shuang was not moved in the slightest. She sat up and turned around while sneering coldly, "Fang Yu, you promised me your conditions back then. You want to go back on your word? "
"No, okay!" Fang Yu once again put on the boots, but walked to the side and sat down. He explained to Ling Shuang: "I agree to share the bed, but I definitely cannot leave this room. Ling Shuang, us walking together today is making those people unhappy. The more we love each other, the angrier they get. It's always fun to think about it. "
Ling Shuang also knew that this was Fang Yu's last concession, but this kind of life in the same room as others was still a stranger, so she felt that it was a bit strange.
However, she could still tolerate it after half a year. When he was a secret service agent, there were so many things he could not tolerate. The hardest martial arts he had trained in his entire life was tolerance.
