"This …" Su Jin Xiu frowned slightly as she lowered her eyes in silence.
"I understand, tomorrow is the day of your wedding, it's not good to get stained with blood. If you feel that my suggestion is inappropriate, then we'll discuss it in the future. In any case, it doesn't matter to me whether Duan Moyan lives for a while longer." Duan Zitong wanted to capture him but decided not to.
"Princess is too serious, we'll do as you say!" But how will the princess receive this servant? " Su Jin Xiu asked doubtfully.
"After you start the fire, I will send a Death Soldier to pretend to be an arsonist. After that, I will also send someone to execute him on the spot so that everyone's attention can be shifted away from you. What do you say?" Duan Zitong's cherry lips slightly parted, her eyes shining.
"Princess's method is very good! This servant will do as I say! " She had already been oppressed by Chu Shirou for seven years, and now there was another Duan Moyan. In the span of a few years, she really couldn't afford to gamble with him.
"Mm, it's getting late. Go back first, so as to not arouse suspicion, success or failure will depend on tomorrow." Duan Zitong turned her gaze towards Qing Lan, hinting her to send Su Jin Xiu out of the palace.
After Qing Lan returned to the Phoenix Storage Pavilion, she walked to Duan Zitong's side.
"Master, if you want to find a scapegoat, do you want to go to the Sky Prison and find a death sentence?" Qing Lan said seriously.
"What is it? Do you really think that I will excuse Su Jin Xiu? " Duan Zitong's phoenix-like eyes narrowed as they flashed with a dark light. She shifted her gaze to Qing Lan, who couldn't help but be surprised when she heard her voice. Seeing Qing Lan's incredulous expression, Duan Zitong's cherry lips slightly opened, "There is no wall that doesn't pierce the wind in this world. If we let Su Jin Xiu live like this, whether or not you think will benefit us, we might as well kill two birds with one stone and use Su Jin Xiu to kill Duan Mu Yan. Then, we'll let our royal father punish Su Jin Xiu for her crimes. Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone!" Originally, she didn't want to get rid of Su Jin Xiu so quickly, but she was helpless when Su Jin Xiu insisted on dragging her into the water. This kind of disloyal servant couldn't be left alive.
"But …" Qing Lan was puzzled.
"Are you afraid that Su Jin Xiu will call us out? At least before she sees me, she doesn't dare to speak carelessly. As long as I can send her to prison, I will have Qian Ruming kill this trouble! In case we raise a tiger and cause trouble! " Each of Duan Zitong's words was ice-cold, her gaze cold and sinister.
The moment she heard the two words, "Qian Ru Ming", Qing Lan's body trembled slightly. The three words were like demons that left a deep imprint in her heart. Every time she thought about it, she would feel so much pain that she wished she were dead.
"Qing Lan?" Duan Zitong felt that something was off with Qing Lan and asked doubtfully.
"Ugh …" Master is wise, then tomorrow we'll just sit back and wait for the profits of the fishermen? " Qing Lan immediately focused and continued.
"Duan Mu Yan!" "The last time you narrowly escaped death was due to your luck. Let's see if your luck is really that good this time around …" A feminine gaze burst forth from Duan Zitong's eyes. Only if Duan Moyan died would she be able to obtain Xiao Yuxuan.
It was as if the night sky was being washed away as the full moon had just risen. The cold wind still engulfed the vast earth without a shred of mercy.
However, he didn't dare take a step forward. Xiao Jin Feng knew that after tomorrow, the distance between him and Duan Mu Yan would grow further and further apart, and this was not his wish. He wanted to explain, wanted to tell Duan Mu Yan that besides Shi Rou, she was the second woman he was truly against.
"Esteemed wangfei, the prince is outside, you …" Yao'er lightly floated to the side of Duan Mu Yan as she suspiciously asked.
"Blows out the light, I'm tired …" That day, she had begged Xiao Jin Feng to seek justice for Qiu Yue, but what she had gotten in return was the pain in her spine. This was all thanks to Xiao Jin Feng.
The moment the room lost its light, Xiao Jingfeng lost all hope. He stood still on the spot and released a long breath. As he turned around, he saw Su Jin Xiu standing in front of him like a sculpture.
"Embroidery …" Xiao Jingfeng spoke in surprise, but did not take a step forward.
"Your highness, according to custom, I shouldn't have met you tonight at the brocade shop, but I really want to tell you that ever since I followed you to Prince Xiao's mansion, you've never done anything excessive with the brocade. In the heart of the brocade, you're unique, you're as far away as the stars in the sky and as bright as the sun." Your highness, according to custom, I shouldn't have met you tonight at the brocade shop, but I want to tell you that when you're at least, you'll always be able to stay by your side. The cold wind brushed against her cheeks, sealing off the tears in her eyes. Originally, she had come here to look for Duan Mu Yan, but she hadn't expected to see such a scene.
Under the moonlight, Su Jin's tears were sparkling and translucent. The sincere look in her eyes made Xiao Jin Feng feel ashamed.
"Embroidery..." "Don't think too much into it. Go back and rest, you'll still be tired tomorrow …" Xiao Jin Feng swallowed his saliva and turned to leave from the other side.
Seeing Xiao Jin Feng's figure fade away from her line of sight, Su Jin Xiu's tears fell like the rain as she sobbed softly. It turned out that no matter how lowly she appeared in front of Xiao Jin Feng, he was not moved at all.
"Child... Don't worry, I will definitely clean up all the obstacles in your path of growth. Even if your Royal Father doesn't love you, and you and I … "And the mother who loves you the most in this world …" Every word was like ice, and the gentle light in her eyes was like ice as she turned towards Duan Mu Yan's room. I'm sorry! For the sake of the child in my womb, you must die …
A battle of conspiracy, a contest of life and death, slowly began in the endless night.
It was not yet Yin hour, but Su Jin's room already had four or five maids bustling around.
There was not only the difference in attire from the main hall, there was even a reduction in the procedures. There was no eight carriers palanquin, and there were no guests all around, but because it was a joyous event for the Xiao manor, there were still many people who came to congratulate her.
"Elder sister brocade …" "Ugh …" It's Madam … What is wrong with this dress? " Feng Xue's voice was respectful, but it was obviously disobedient.
"Not bad, you've done well. After I pay my respects, I will take you and Cui Xin into my room, and when the time comes, I will take care of all of you!" "How are the preparations going outside?" Su Jin Xiu did not care about Feng Xue's attitude. They naturally could not accept the fact that a sparrow could fly on a branch and become a phoenix!
Just as Su Jin Mei finished speaking, the room was pushed open by Cui Xin.
"Cui Xin, Madam really wants to know how the preparations are going outside!" Feng Xue disapproved of Su Jin's so-called favor.
"Reporting to Madam, everything is normal outside. Butler Zhou has already arranged everything. We only have to wait for the right time to begin the ceremony." Since Su Jinhua was an inner marriage, she didn't even have to use a sedan chair. He only needed to go to the main hall and pay respects to Xiao Lingfeng.
Time passed second by second, some were excited, some were nervous, and finally, the time to pay her respects was up. Accompanied by the thunderous sound of suona and gongs and drums outside, Su Jinxiu was supported by Feng Xue and Cui Xin as they left the room. Along the way, the red carpet paved the way, and with every step Su Jin took, her heart was filled with joy.
Outside the main hall, the guests had all arrived long ago. Everyone wanted to know what kind of woman could enchant the prince under the gaze of the secondary wife. Everyone was filled with curiosity towards Su Jin Xiu.
"Everyone, quiet down …" The groom will bring the bride into the hall! " The nanny shouted loudly according to the rules of a concubine. Inside the main hall, Xiao Jingfeng was clad in a red wedding dress, and his expression was slightly sluggish. After the nanny had spoken, Xiao Jingfeng subconsciously looked to the side at Duan Moyan, whose legs were like ice, not moving in the slightest.
When the wedding nanny saw this, she couldn't help but gently push Xiao Jingfeng aside as she spoke with a smile.
"The groom should be overjoyed. The bride is right outside, all he needs to do is pull her in …" Under the nanny's reminder, Xiao Jin Feng could only step out of the hall and lead Su Jin Xiu into the hall from Feng Xue's hands. The moment their fingertips touched, Su Jin Xiu cried tears of joy and tears of tears fell. However, to Xiao Lingfeng, this was not the moment to be tormented by hell. Being in the same bed was already a strange dream.
"First bow to the heavens and earth …" The nanny's voice was exceptionally high-pitched, every word seeming to pierce Xiao Jingfeng's eardrums. After Xiao Jingfeng kowtowed like a machine, the final step was for Su Jin to pour tea for Duan Mu Yan.
The main hall and even the guests were in complete silence. Everyone wanted to know Duan Mu Yan's reaction, even though she wasn't favored, she was still a girl blessed by the heavens. How could she endure such humiliation?
"Your Highness, please accept my respect …" Su Jin Xiu knelt down respectfully and accepted the cup in the servant girl's hands and raised it above her head.
Seeing Su Jin Xiu kneel humbly and humbly in front of her, Duan Mu Yan smiled lightly as she received the teacup and took a sip. After that, she slowly helped Su Jin Xiu up as her eyes shone with a gentle light, and her face was like the spring wind, causing people to be unable to see the sorrow and loneliness in the bottom of their hearts.
"In the future, just call me sister. Today is younger sister's big day, so older sister will not chat with you about everyday things. As for the rules, little sister will be here at home much earlier than older sister, so I am very clear about it." "Go …" Qingcheng's countenance did not reveal the slightest bit of disappointment or unwillingness. Indeed, she was not disappointed at all, and today was indeed a good day for her to take revenge for Autumn Moon. How could she not be happy?
"The bride and groom enter the bridal chamber together …" With the final sentence of the nanny, Xiao Jin Feng wooden took Su Jin Xiu and left the main hall.
The guests seemed to be disheartened by the lack of a good show, so they all went back to their respective tables to drink and talk merrily. At this moment, Yao'er and Zi Min were supporting Duan Mu Yan on both sides as they walked out of the main hall and headed towards the room.
"Esteemed wangfei, we should …" While passing by Xiao Jin Feng's wedding, Yao'er asked hesitantly.
"Go back to your room first. Don't worry, I have my own arrangements." After which, she returned to her own room. The wedding banquet officially began. After Xiao Jin Feng sent Su Jin Xiu to the bridal chamber, he hurriedly left without stopping for even a second.
