Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

He is going to get married with Miss Ma in two days, but He Li just can't be happy. This is just a temporary measure for him, and now he is still thinking about how to get out of it.

He thought that if he agreed to the emperor, he would be released, but he didn't expect that there was no movement at all. He was just told to wait and someone would come to pick him up.

He Li couldn't figure out what the emperor was up to.

Early that morning, the eunuch Li Yi opened the door, and about twenty guards came in from behind him and stood in two rows.

The Emperor and General Dingyuan also came in. The Emperor smiled and said, "Tenth brother, today is a great day for you. General Dingyuan and I will take you out."

He knew that He Li would not agree so easily, so to prevent any fraud, he arranged everything directly and sent someone to pick him up when the time came.

For safety reasons, General Dingyuan, who was highly skilled in martial arts, was specially arranged to prevent him from escaping.

The emperor did this with good intentions! How could He Li not understand this?

Afterwards, the emperor waved his hand outside, and a nanny and two palace maids came in. One of the palace maids was holding a wedding gown in her hand, and the other was holding a fu hat.

The nanny stepped forward and grovelled before He Li, saying, "Tenth Prince, the auspicious time has come. Let's go pick up the bride. I will help you change your clothes~"

He Li stood there motionless, his face expressionless, his dark pupils bottomless.

"Tenth brother, think about the girl who is the prefect. I would like to meet her~" the emperor said with a smile and a double meaning.

"Don't bother your Majesty with any worries." He Li's face darkened, and Arya's bright eyes appeared in front of him again.

He hesitated for a moment with his eyes closed, then opened his hands.

The nanny hurried forward, helped the Tenth Prince change his clothes, put on his wedding gown, and put on his headdress.

"Your Highness is such a handsome man. He looks radiant and energetic in his wedding gown. The bride is truly a blessed person~" the nanny said with a smile and flattering words.

"Tenth Prince, please~"

General Dingyuan walked forward with a serious face and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.

He Li took a deep breath and strode out.

……

Since leaving Liang Mansion, Shen Ping went straight to Ma Mansion. She had become familiar with the surrounding routes in the past few days. She had also visited Ma Mansion at night. After several visits, she knew that He Li was indeed not in Ma Mansion.

Not only that, she also visited several of He Li's houses in the capital, but there was no sign of He Li.

However, someone was busy at the house near the South-North Lane, with a big red wedding character pasted on it. It was certain that they would get married there.

At the reminder of Lord Liang, Shen Ping decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes and waited around the Ma Mansion.

Sure enough, the bride-picking team finally arrived that day. The groom, wearing a bright red wedding gown, rode in front on a fine horse, and was followed by two generals on both sides.

There were also two festively decorated carriages following behind, accompanied by a matchmaker and dozens of guards in guard uniforms riding tall horses.

The group walked along the street in a mighty and powerful manner, attracting a lot of onlookers, many of whom were whispering.

"Hey~ Who is getting married? Why are there so many soldiers following?"

"You don't know this, do you? I heard that the prince is getting married today, and he is marrying the daughter of the Minister of Agriculture."

"..."

Shen Ping stood among the crowd and looked at He Li. There was no expression on his face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. However, one thing was certain: he did not have any joy of getting married.

He Li, who was riding on the horse, seemed to feel Shen Ping's gaze, which was like a thorn in his side and made him feel uncomfortable all over.

He looked around and searched carefully, and finally, he saw Shen Ping in the crowd, looking at him coldly.

Not far away, Tiechui, Cuihong and another girl were also looking at him.

"Uncle, uncle has seen us." Tiechui looked excited and waved to He Li.

"What about my son-in-law? He's going to marry another woman." Cuihong glared at Tiechui angrily and interrupted him: "You men are like this. You eat what's in your bowl and think about what's in the pot. You always think about having three wives and four concubines."

For no reason, the anger was directed at him again. Tiechui was speechless and muttered, "I haven't even married anyone yet, why are you scolding me?"

"Tenth Prince, let's go quickly and don't miss the time." Feng Shuo saw He Li stopped and couldn't help but urge him.

When He Li moved forward again and looked back for Shen Ping, he found that she was gone.

He Li looked around but could not see Shen Ping anymore. He wondered if he was dazzled. Not only that, even Tiechui and the others were nowhere to be seen.

He Li felt a little disappointed, thinking of Shen Ping's eyes just now. He knew that Shen Ping was blaming him, and thought that if he insisted on not marrying Miss Ma, the emperor would be helpless.

But the emperor said that if he insisted, it would be disadvantageous for Erya. The whole world belongs to the emperor, so how can his arm twist his thigh?

So he made up his mind that in order to protect Erya, even if he married Miss Ma, it would only be in name, and he would not touch her at all.

As for Arya, I will find a suitable opportunity to ask for her forgiveness and see if I can take her over again.

Soon, the wedding procession arrived at the gate of the Xia Mansion. There were big red lanterns hanging at the gate, and big red "囍" characters and couplets posted on the gate, which looked very festive.

"The groom is here!" The matchmaker ran around announcing the news with a happy face.

Lord Ma and Madam Ma are greeting the guests warmly. Madam Ma Liang Jing is over 40 years old, but she has delicate skin, speaks softly, and still has charm. It can be seen that she was also fair-skinned and beautiful when she was young.

The Censor Hong Chang was wearing casual clothes and came with his wife, Lu. Lu was short and fat, with large pores and freckles all over her face.

It is true that ugly people are more likely to behave strangely. This Lu family member is not very attractive, but she dresses in an exaggerated way, wearing a pink satin dress and bright red lips. It is simply unbearable to look at.

Lu held her husband Hong Chang's arm, and Hong Chang frowned in disgust and shook her hand away. Lu was so ignorant that she held his arm again.

Watching Lord Ma and his wife standing at the door to welcome guests, Hong Chang looked at Mrs. Ma, Liang Jing, who was wearing a light purple cotton dress. She had fair skin, beautiful looks, and was as graceful and decent as ever.

Then he looked at his wife, Lu, who was standing next to him. She was short, fat and dark, but she was wearing a pink dress and had bright red lipstick on. She was as ugly as she could be.

If her father hadn't been the governor of the river, I would never have married her.

Thinking of this, Lord Hong couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Lord Ma. If he hadn't fought with him for Liang Jing, Liang Jing would have been his wife.

However, as he got closer and closer to Lord Ma and his wife, Lord Hong resisted the urge to shake off Lu's hand again.

Although Lord Hong thought so in his heart, he did not show it on his face. He said with a fake smile: "Congratulations, Lord Ma, congratulations, Lord Ma, for finding a good son-in-law like the Tenth Prince."

When he received the invitation, he never expected that the Tenth Prince would marry Ma Dong's daughter. Thinking of how proud he looked when he smiled, he really didn't want to come.

But then I thought again, I couldn't wait to take this opportunity to see Liang Jing again.
