The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

It was a sunny day after the snow, and it was an auspicious day for getting married.

The only legitimate daughter of the Imperial Academy's Jijiu Festival got married today. She married the eldest son of Mr. Shen, the minister of the Ministry of Works. The two families were well matched.

It can be said that Mr. Shen was a poor scholar at the beginning, and he was lucky to be able to survive until now. God secretly helped him, so that when he was in poverty, he met Mrs. Shen who fell in love with him at first sight, and gained the support of Mrs. Shen and her natal family. Supported him to study and gain fame, and gradually achieved his current achievements. His son was promising again and entered the Hanlin Academy. The Shen family was also a proud ancestor.

Now I am related to Master Song. The Song family is a well-established family in the capital, and they are also related by marriage to the Qi family, who is also well-established. Master Song's wife is the eldest aunt of the Qi family. With this kind of relationship, the Shen family is in The status of the capital has also improved a lot.

When Meng Jinyao arrived at the Song family, Song Xinning had already finished dressing up, with a bride's joy and shyness on her face, and was talking to a group of little sisters of the same age.

She greeted everyone and then gave the makeup gift to Song Xinning: "A Ning, I wish you a happy marriage with Mr. Shen and a son soon."

When Song Xinning heard the words "give birth to a child soon," her rouged face turned even redder. She took the makeup gift in a rectangular wooden box with both hands and responded with a smile: "Thank you, A-Yao."

After a while, Princess Jingning also came and gave Song Xinning a makeup gift.

When the wedding team arrived at Song's house, everyone also saw Song Xinning's future husband, the 22-year-old Shen Shuxian, who had a gentle temperament and was much calmer than a teenager. He was also handsome and was a perfect match for Song Xinning.

Watching the welcoming procession leave, the corners of Meng Jinyao's mouth couldn't help but turn up. Her good sister is getting married to her childhood sweetheart. It is estimated that in a year or two, there will be a beautiful and lovely baby who will call her Aunt Meng. .

Princess Jingning said in a low voice: "This prospective husband, Aning, is very talented and looks very good."

Meng Jinyao replied: "Young Master Shen is very nice. Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Song have known each other for a long time, so Mr. Shen and An Ning are also childhood sweethearts. They originally got married last year, but the Song family couldn't let go of their daughter, so he waited for another year. many."

Princess Jingning had a look of envy on her face, and after a moment her head drooped again.

Seeing this, Meng Jinyao asked, "What's wrong?"

Princess Jingning said melancholy: "Seeing the little sisters around me who are similar in age getting married one after another, I suddenly feel a little worried. I don't know what my mother-in-law will find for me in the end. I will be sixteen after the Chinese New Year. My marriage should also be decided next year, and I will get married the year after next at the latest."

Meng Jinyao comforted her softly: "The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Don't think too much. The princess will definitely choose a husband who suits your heart."

Princess Jingning curled her lips and said with helplessness in her tone: "Let me tell you quietly, in fact, although I don't hate the ones she chose for me, I don't like them either, and I don't have the kind of jealousy towards those young masters as mentioned in the book. However, I feel very excited, just a few days ago I rejected a young man that my mother-in-law was looking for for me."

Meng Jinyao asked: "Why refuse?"

Princess Jingning whispered back: "He is good in all aspects, but he is a bit short. He is only three inches taller than me when he stands next to me. And he is already twenty years old, so he should not be able to grow any taller." , and I am not yet sixteen years old, I guess I can still grow a little longer, what will I do if I grow taller than him?"

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao was stunned, and subconsciously checked the height of Princess Jingning, and found that she was taller than half a year ago. She was already two inches taller than herself, and she would definitely be able to grow a little longer.

Princess Jingning looked at her with envy in her eyes and said helplessly, "Why are you still envious of me?"

Meng Jinyao was depressed: "I envy you for being taller than me, and it seems that you can grow taller. I don't seem to have grown any taller this year."

"Why does the girl want to be so tall?"

Princess Jingning looked at her angrily and said angrily: "Look at you, you are so petite and exquisite, you seem to have just reached the height of the Marquis's shoulders. You are so small. When you lean into the arms of the Marquis Gu, you are like a little bird. And I continued. When I grow taller, in the future, in front of my husband, I won’t be a little bird clinging to someone, but a big roc spreading its wings. Then it will be him who is the little bird clinging to me. I don’t want to grow taller.”

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao couldn't help but smile: "What nonsense are you talking about? What about a roc spreading its wings? No matter how tall you are, you are still a delicate girl. If there is a situation like a roc spreading its wings, it is because the other party is too short, not you. high."

After hearing this, Princess Jingning suddenly felt comfortable and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the other party is too short. I have to find someone taller." Just after she finished speaking, she remembered something and asked again, " Ayao, have you heard about Duke Shen’s mansion?"

Meng Jinyao nodded slightly. Although it happened the day before yesterday, she had heard about it.

I heard that the second son born to Duke Shen and Mrs. Xu Xian died. He was bitten to death by a wolf. His face was chewed beyond recognition. Fortunately, he wore many clothes in winter and was wrapped up tightly. Basically, the flesh on his body was well protected. Strictly.

Duke Shen and his wife were devastated. Mrs. Shen, the only child, fainted on the spot when she saw her son's body.

Although Duke Shen did not faint, he was not much better. He lost his only two legitimate sons within a year, and the remaining bastards were all useless. Previously, the eldest son Shen Yunzhou was in danger and his life or death was uncertain. Because he had not seen the body, he could not accept that his outstanding eldest son was gone, so he sent people to continue searching secretly. The Duke's office did not leak the news about this matter, and it was not until yesterday that the news was leaked.

However, both Meng Jinyao and Princess Jingning knew that the Crown Prince Shen Yunzhou was not dead. He was saved by them when his life was hanging by a thread. The Crown Prince Shen was in the capital but did not show up.

Princess Jingning: "Ayao, do you think... he killed her?"

Although she didn't say who it was, Meng Jinyao knew who the "him" she was talking about was. After Shen Shizi recovered from his injury, he never returned home in the capital, let alone let his relatives and friends know that he was back. Now the Second Master Shen was so coincidental. It's hard not to be suspicious if a wolf bites him to death.

Meng Jinyao looked around and saw no one coming around, so she lowered her voice and said, "Ayan, sometimes people are pushed into a hurry and will not be merciful, because being kind to the enemy is cruel to oneself."

Princess Jingning's expression paused. Shen Yunzhou's handsome face flashed in her mind, and she immediately shuddered. She was so good-looking, why was she so cruel?

The next moment, she thought that when she picked up Shen Yunzhou, Shen Yunzhou was dying, and the injuries on his body were probably the result of the scheme between her stepmother and Second Young Master Shen, right?

If she were Shen Yunzhou and escaped from death, she would not let go of those who wanted to murder her.

Thinking like this, she felt that what Shen Yunzhou did was reasonable. If others wanted to die, she should kill them first to prevent others from taking action against her again.

Meng Jinyao glanced at her and warned: "Ayan, some things are just speculation. If there is no evidence, don't mention it to anyone. This matter will be rotten in our stomachs. If you see him again in the future, don't When you ask this, just pretend you don’t know anything, do you understand?”

Princess Jingning knew that she was doing it for her own good and nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, Ayao, I won't talk nonsense. Other people's affairs have nothing to do with us, so we just treat it as gossip."
