The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Shang Xi said, "Cheng Youning, why are you causing trouble? Can you please stop adding fuel to the fire and go out to play instead of causing trouble for Si Niang here?"

Lu Siniang said: "The one who caused the trouble was not Cheng Youning, but Ge Dongqing."

Cheng Youning echoed, "It was Grandpa Ge who caused trouble for Si Niang. It has nothing to do with me."

Shang Xi raised his hand and acted like an adult, "Cheng Youning, are you going to leave or not? If not, I will beat you up."

Cheng Youning reached into his pocket, stuffed two handfuls of candy, and then ran away.

Shang Xi said: "This child is not beaten enough, he is just afraid that the world will not be in chaos."

Lu Siniang said: "Thanks to Youning for coming to inform me, otherwise I would not know that I was left here alone."

Shang Xi comforted Lu Siniang, "There is nothing my uncle can't do. Just wait and see, the carriage will be here soon to pick you up."

Lu Si Niang said: "This guy is the same. Why did he agree to such a marriage if he didn't want to marry me? He was so unwilling, as if I was forcing him to marry me."

Shang Xi said: "Uncle Ge is willing."

Lu Si Niang said, "If he dares to break off the engagement today, I will skin him alive."

Shang Xi looked at Lu Si Niang and thought that she didn't seem to be lying. She should be able to skin Ge Dongqing alive. "Si Niang, don't be impulsive. My uncle Ge is absolutely willing to do this."

Wan Lianxing rode his horse as fast as he could to Ge Dongqing's house. There were people gathered at the gate, and there was a long line of carriages waiting to set off. Wan Lianxing asked, "Where is Ge Dongqing?"

One person said, "We are all waiting, but Mr. Ge is nowhere to be seen."

Wan Lianxing said, "Didn't you go into the courtyard to look for it?"

The man said, "I've looked for it, but I can't find it. We're all so anxious. Are we going to get married or not?"

Wan Lianxing said, "This marriage must be concluded today. You guys wait here first."

Wan Lianxing asked Huang Chenming: "Where can we find someone?"

Huang Chenming said, "The person is in the mansion. I will go in with you to look for him."

After entering the courtyard, Huang Chenming said, "Let's look for it from the north."

With Huang Chenming's words, Wan Lianxing led his men all the way north. They searched everything they could and looked in every place they could, but they didn't find anyone.

Wan Lianxing looked at Huang Chenming and said, "Your trick doesn't work this time. The person is not in the house."

Huang Chenming smiled and said, "The person must be inside the house, and to the north."

Wan Lianxing asked: "Then why didn't you find it?"

Huang Chenming said: "There must be a place that has not been found."

Wan Lianxing asked the people he brought to continue searching, and soon Suiying came running over with a smile, "My Lord, there seems to be some movement in the kitchen's vegetable cellar."

Wan Lianxing gritted his teeth and said, "Lead the way."

When they arrived at the vegetable cellar, everyone held their breath. After listening carefully, they heard someone crying in the cellar.

When Wan Lianxing heard this, he flew into a rage, and said with gritted teeth, "Pull the man up here for me."

"Yes."

Wan Lianxing gave an order, and Suiying reached out to open the lid of the vegetable cellar, and said to Ge Dongqing inside with a smile: "Groom, come up, don't hide anymore."

This vegetable cellar was very shallow and small, less than a person's height. Ge Dongqing just stayed there crying. When he saw Wan Lianxing coming, he cried even harder. He wiped his tears and said to Wan Lianxing, "I have two ounces of strong liquor in a copper pot, which makes me sad. Instead of solving my troubles, I am more worried. I have been unable to marry my beloved wife, so I would rather die than stay in this cellar."

Wan Lianxing saw that the man was holding a wine jug in his hand. He was hiding here to get drunk. Seeing Ge Dongqing's ugly appearance, he was so angry that his teeth itched, "Come up here."

Ge Dongqing leaned against the cellar and refused to come up, shouting, "I won't go up, I won't go up."

Wan Lianxing said: "It's not up to you. Can you hide in this vegetable cellar forever?"

"Hide for a while."

Wan Lianxing said, "Look at what you have accomplished, come up here quickly."

"I won't go up, brother. I don't want to get married."

Wan Lianxing said: "I have to get married sooner or later."

Ge Dongqing said: "I don't want to marry Lu Siniang, she is a crazy woman. If I marry her, I won't live long."

Wan Lianxing said, "Whether you live longer or not is not up to you. Si Niang is still waiting for you in my house. Come up here quickly."

Ge Dongqing said, "If the marriage is not settled, I will not go up."

Wan Lianxing said, "I arranged the marriage for you, you want me to break my promise, right? Come up quickly, don't let me do it myself."

"No."

Wan Lianxing said to Suiying, "Go, get the person up here for me."

"Yes."

Suiying smiled and brought two people to pull Ge Dongqing up in two moves. The groom's suit was twisted and distorted by the dragging. There were several spots of mud on the clothes, making it very dirty. But he couldn't care less at this time. The most important thing was to get him married.

Wan Lianxing walked in front, and two people dragged Ge Dongqing from behind, and took him all the way to the gate.

Ge Dongqing cried and said, "Brother."

Wan Lianxing said, "It's already this late, why are you complaining so much... Suiying, help Dongqing onto the horse."

"Okay." Suiying easily got the person up there, and then the drum music started playing.

"Big brother..."

Wan Lianxing said to Ge Dongqing, "Don't look back, go and get Lu Si Niang here quickly. So many people are waiting and watching us. Don't cry and embarrass me... Suiying, you watch Dongqing and don't let him escape."

"Yes, Lord. I can definitely keep an eye on Mr. Ge."

In the west courtyard of the prefect's mansion, several girls ran in excitedly, "Fourth Lady, Fourth Lady, the bride-picking team is here, the bride-picking team is here, can you hear the drums and music?"

Listening carefully, it was true. The sound of drums was getting closer and louder.

Shang Xi's heart finally settled down, "I told you my Uncle Ge would definitely come." She picked up the red veil and put it on Si Niang's head.

Soon a matchmaker came in with a beaming face. When she saw Lu Si Niang, she muttered some auspicious words. Shang Xi took out a purse and stuffed it into the matchmaker's hand. After the matchmaker accepted it with a smile, she raised her hand to help Lu Si Niang up. Then Si Niang was surrounded by a group of people and walked out.

After exiting the side door of the west courtyard, they saw a procession of carriages and horses waiting there to welcome the bride. The matchmaker recited a few words and helped Lu Si Niang onto the sedan chair. At this time, drums and music were beating loudly, and Shang Xi didn't hear a word of what the matchmaker said.

After Si Niang got on the sedan chair, she saw a large group of people turning around and heading towards Ge Dongqing's house.

Shang Xi said to Cheng Feng, "Look at Uncle Ge, he has a bitter face. He must have cried again just now."

Cheng Feng said: "He was being held by Suiying, otherwise he would have dared to jump off his horse and run away."
