The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

The second wife discovered this early on. Without alarming anyone, she quietly arranged for someone to check halfway.

"See if Prime Minister Xie has been delayed by something and whether he has reached the halfway point. If you have any news, please tell me immediately so that I can make arrangements in advance."

The Second Madam lowered her voice and spoke. Her subordinates received the order, quietly left the crowd, and ran towards the Xie Mansion like flying.

The bride had set an auspicious time for leaving the house and must not miss it, and the groom should have arrived earlier. However, the auspicious time was almost here and Xie Lin had not come yet. The Second Madam thought it was not right and was afraid that something had happened.

On the other hand, today is the Prime Minister's wedding day, and the Xie Mansion has also started preparations early, and the level of excitement is no less than that of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

He changed into the groom's uniform on time, and after that, he strode out of his room, ready to go out to pick up Chu Heyi.

He arranged a small bridge and flowing water in his yard. Under the slightly arched wooden bridge was a gurgling stream. Lotus flowers were planted there, and koi carp swam happily by from time to time.

This scenery has been around for many years, and there are people dedicated to taking care of this small stream and the koi fish in it.

But when Xie Lin, wearing the groom's uniform, walked across the small bridge, he saw that the two koi in the water were motionless, and their bellies were turned up.

At first he thought he was seeing things, but then he stepped back to look and saw clearly that the two fish were indeed dead, their white bellies completely turned upside down, and the lotus stems blocking their bodies, just floating in the flowing water.

Xie Lin suddenly frowned, and a strong feeling of suffocation suddenly surged in his heart. The Xie family was thriving, and he had just been promoted from the Minister of Justice to the Prime Minister not long ago. Today was his big day, and such a situation should not have happened in his family.

Wangshan followed and was about to urge Xie Lin to go and pick up the bride quickly, otherwise it would be bad if they missed the auspicious time. As a result, he also saw the scene that Xie Lin saw.

He took a deep breath and said, "This...this...I'm going to ask the people below how they did things. How could such a mistake happen today?"

"No need." Xie Lin's cold voice blocked his way.

There was anger in Wangshan's eyes. He thought that his subordinates were unreliable. Such a mistake happened on such a happy day. It was unforgivable.

But when Xie Lin said there was no need to settle the accounts, he was very puzzled and looked at Xie Lin in surprise.

Xie Lin thought for a moment and said, "Wangshan, you don't have to go with me to pick up the bride. You should go to the Xue family in person and invite Xue Jinfei and Master Xue's relatives to come over for a drink. You must give them a grand reception."

Xie Lin looked at him steadily: "Remember, you are the one who went to invite them in person, so just say that I should have come in person, but I have to pick up the bride today and cannot get away. Please forgive them."

Wang Shan was stunned. Although Xue Jinfei was given to Xie Lin by the emperor, and the emperor stated that if something happened in the palace, with Xue Jinfei, Xie Lin could directly bypass the queen to handle the matter...

But no matter what, Xue Jinfei obeys Xie Lin and is Xie Lin's subordinate. Is it necessary to praise Xue Jinfei's family so highly?

Xie Lin said, "There's no need to make this public. Just listen to me and make arrangements. Go and tell Lord Xue, and then go to the Xue residence to invite someone. Also, take all the fish out of this river and put them somewhere else. We won't raise fish here for the time being. We'll talk about it after Madam comes in."

Although Wangshan was confused, he knew that his master never did anything meaningless, so he did not ask any further questions and nodded in agreement.

When Xue Jinfei learned that Xie Lin was going to invite his family to a banquet, he was stunned for a moment, and found Xie Lin before Xie Lin went out to pick up the bride.

Xie Lin knew what he wanted to say, so he walked to a deserted place and waited for Xue Jinfei to catch up.

"Master Xie, I am working for the Emperor in the palace, and no one outside knows about it. In the eyes of outsiders, my Xue family is just a small family. You don't have to ask Master Wangshan to invite them in person. I am already very touched by your love and care for me and my family. Unfortunately, they have never seen the world, and they are afraid of ruining Master Xie's wedding day. If that makes you and the new wife unhappy, I will be guilty of a great sin."

Xue Jinfei bowed to him very solemnly. There was no humility in his tone, but he truly hoped that Xie Lin would not invite his family.

Xie Lin said, "To be honest, I regard Lord Xue as a brother, a confidant who will share life and death with me in the future. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. You and I are both people who serve the emperor. When we lose our heads is not up to us. That's why on such a happy day like today, I want to invite Lord Xue's family to come over for a glass of wedding wine, so that I can share the joy with them."

Xue Jinfei suddenly raised his head and looked at him.

Xie Lin said: "If Master Xue insists on refusing, I will have to think too much."

Xue Jinfei pursed his lips and said, "Since the emperor has sent me to Lord Xie's side, no matter what happens, I will never abandon you and run away. Lord Xie, please rest assured about this."

Xie Lin smiled softly: "I know, if Lord Xue was not such a loyal person, he would not have been trusted and valued by the emperor. It is precisely because I know this that I want to invite Lord Xue's family to come to my house for a glass of wedding wine."

Xue Jinfei was stunned, staring at Xie Lin blankly, but found that he could not see through the man in front of him, and he found that he was far from being Xie Lin's opponent.

He could no longer find any reason to refuse. Under Xie Lin's gaze, he had no choice but to bend down and bow his head again: "Thank you very much for your kindness, sir!"

Xie Lin stepped forward and patted his shoulder: "Master Xue, today is the most important day of my life. I'd like to trouble you to protect me."

Xue Jinfei: "I obey your command!"

In this way, Xie Lin delayed the time to go out to pick up the bride.

Before the person the second wife sent out to gather information came back, the guests outside noticed something was wrong and started talking about it.

"How come it's already this late? The groom hasn't arrived yet?"

"It's almost the auspicious time, so don't miss it."

I don’t know if someone is leading the discussion, but the people outside who are waiting to watch the fun are also discussing this matter.

"I heard that Master Xie has had a weak body since childhood. Could it be that he couldn't handle today's great joy and collapsed, and couldn't leave in time?"

"I heard that the princess of the dynasty also wants to marry Prime Minister Xie. Do you think that Prime Minister Xie will change his mind at the last minute and marry the princess instead of the county lady?"

In short, there is anything to say.

Fortunately, these words did not reach Chu Heyi's ears, but she also knew that the auspicious time was almost approaching, so why had Xie Lin not arrived yet?

She wasn't worried that Xie Lin would change his mind at the last minute; she was only worried that something might happen to Xie Lin.

The lantern that fell to the ground last night and the dream she had before she woke up suddenly became clear at this moment, making her feel worried and terrified.

"Here he comes, the groom is here!"

Someone in the crowd shouted with endless joy, instantly dispelling the haze in Chu Heyi's heart.
