Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again
Chapter 142: Bride Again
Immediately afterwards, Xu Xingyin's knees went weak and he fell to the ground. Although his limbs were weak, his brain was still working fast.
She looked at Mei Hanrui's tear-stained face. The mask of weakness gradually fell off Mei Hanrui's face, replaced by a strange and terrifying face.
It’s the bowl of sweet soup just now!
Mei Hanrui had already planned it out!
Maybe it was a spur of the moment decision, but more likely...
The first time I saw her.
"why me?"
"I told you, you are very beautiful."
Mei Hanrui squatted down and slowly stroked Xu Xingyin's face with her hand, "The Lord will like this face. If he is satisfied, he will not hold it against me. Only then will I have a chance to leave alive."
Xu Xingyin was almost laughing out of anger. Mei Hanrui actually had a good plan!
Fortunately, she had informed Jing Zhichen and the others yesterday about the time of Mei Hanrui's "marriage".
As long as Jing Zhichen and the others accompany her to investigate the matter that day, she will be fine.
Jing Zhichen he...
If she knew about this, she would definitely be very disappointed and scold her for being stupid, for daring to eat anything given by anyone.
When Xu Xingyin thought of Jing Zhichen scolding her with a dark face, she miraculously felt at ease.
Yes, as long as Jing Zhichen is still here, he will not let anything happen to her.
Thinking of this, Xu Xingyin quickly calmed down. There was nothing else he could do at the moment, so he might as well get some information out of Mei Hanrui.
"Miss Hanrui, there is no need to do this. Just tell this servant nicely. I will go too."
Thinking of this, Xu Xingyin spoke softly, his lowered brows showing a bit of loss.
"Miss Hanrui, you don't know? I started working when I was nine years old. Daddy said that I should make money and save enough money to marry my brother. After my brother marries his wife, I have to make money to send my nephew to school... It's more like a bottomless pit than a home. Maybe I can really get rid of them after marrying the eldest master. How can I not be willing?"
Mei Hanrui looked at Xu Xingyin doubtfully. She had also suffered a lot since childhood, so she naturally knew how difficult it was for a country girl, but she didn't say much for the sake of caution.
"If this matter is beneficial to you, it would be the best."
"Don't worry, Miss Hanrui. I am willing to do this."
Xu Xingyin tried to move his body gently, but found that he had no strength at all, so he turned his head and asked Mei Hanrui.
"Miss Hanrui, do you know who that gentleman is? And what are his hobbies?"
Perhaps because she didn't expect Xu Xingyin to ask these questions, Mei Hanrui subconsciously became alert.
"Why are you asking this?"
"When I was a student, I read a sentence: If you are here, you should make the best of it. Since I have promised you to marry, I naturally don't want to live a hard life there. To put it more vulgarly, if I serve you well, you will pity me and you will naturally support me with fine clothes and delicious food. Naturally, if you are in a good mood, you will not care about Miss Hanrui's escape."
Xu Xingyin spoke sincerely, and Mei Hanrui thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed true, so she stopped trying to hide it.
He stood up and walked to the cabinet beside him, took out a piece of letter, and placed it on Xu Xingyin's legs.
"You are the governor of Yangzhou, Mr. Dong Hongbin. This piece of paper contains your preferences. It was given to me by the master a few days ago, so it should be correct. I don't know anything else."
Mei Hanrui said this, smiled and said self-deprecatingly: "After all, I am just a toy for the master to please the adults."
In the past, the Zhennan General's Mansion was one of the most famous and prestigious families in Jiangnan. During every festive occasion, the civil and military officials who came to pay a visit almost trampled down the threshold of the General's Mansion.
Xu Xingyin knew Dong Hongbin, the prefect of Yangzhou.
Dong Hongbin was originally from Jinzhou. After entering the officialdom, he became a disciple of Wen Chuanzhi, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and later married Wen Chuanzhi's daughter.
He has been promoted steadily over the years thanks to Wen Chuanzhi. Although his ability is mediocre, he can still sit in this position firmly.
At the beginning, General Zhennan Chen Zisong had always had complaints about Dong Hongbin.
Dong Hongbin was well aware of this, so he was extremely careful and did not let Chen Zisong catch any major evidence against him, so Chen Zisong had to let the matter go.
Now that Chen Zisong has passed away and the entire Zhennan General's Mansion has been imprisoned, naturally no one else will care about such trivial matters anymore.
I'm afraid Dong Hongbin has become a lot lax and started to do evil things!
"Thank you Miss Hanrui. I'll keep it in mind."
Xu Xingyin pretended to glance at the paper and said in a panic, "I have something else I would like to ask for your help, young lady."
Mei Hanrui looked at Xu Xingyin's good attitude and felt relieved since he had been hit by the muscle softening powder she had given him. "What's the matter?"
"I heard that Miss Hanrui's maidservant is Sister Shuangyu. You also know that Shuangyu and I have a bad relationship..."
Xu Xingyin paused for a moment, looking embarrassed as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. After a moment's deliberation, she continued, "She is unwilling anyway, so why don't you, Miss Hanrui, make it easier for Chunxiang to marry in this time? I am familiar with her, so we can take care of each other."
After Xu Xingyin said this, Mei Hanrui realized that she had been negligent. It was not that she was worried that Shuangyu would not give face to Xu Xingyin when she got there and serve the new master well.
But Mei Hanrui knew Shuang Yu's hot temper very well. If she knew that Xu Xingyin had gotten this advantage for free, she would definitely make the matter of the proxy marriage known to everyone, and then she would naturally be in trouble!
Mei Hanrui thought about it and agreed after weighing the pros and cons.
However, in order to prevent Xu Xingyin from using Chunxiang to deliver messages, rules were set in advance. Before the bridal sedan arrived at Dong's house, Chunxiang could only follow from a distance and was not allowed to serve closely.
By the time the bridal sedan arrived at Dong's house, Mei Hanrui would have probably already left Yangzhou City. If Xu Xingyin was a smart person, she would not act rashly. Otherwise, if Dong Hongbin killed her, a fake, in a rage, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
After arranging all this, Mei Hanrui stood up and turned off the lights to avoid arousing suspicion from others.
Not wanting to say any more words to Xu Xingyin, he helped her lie down on the couch, left a few words, and went into the inner room to rest.
"Take a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's wedding." Mei Hanrui said.
……
Even though Xu Xingyin has always been brave, he is not brave enough to sleep peacefully in such a scene.
So Xu Xingyin hardly closed his eyes that night, watching the scene outside the window go from pitch black to slightly bright, and then from bright to covered with a layer of red silk.
Mei Hanrui woke up as soon as the sky was bright. Even though Xu Xingyin did not seem to be unwilling at all, she still forced Xu Xingyin to drink another large bowl of medicine out of caution.
Then, while others were busy, she stuffed Xu Xingyin, who was dressed as a bride, into the bridal sedan, and dressed herself as a maid, followed the wedding procession out of the villa, and then left quietly.
