Chapter 97 Marriage
The maid in charge of delivering meals hesitated for a moment, put the plate aside for the time being, and unlocked the courtyard door.The maidservant inside heard the commotion and waited on the other side of the door. When she saw someone coming, she took the food from her hand.

The maid let go of the hand holding the pan, and quietly peeked inside.

The trees, flowers and plants in the courtyard are still lush and moist, but after only a few days, they give people an inexplicable sense of decay.

The courtyard door was closed again, and the servant girl lowered her eyes after hearing the sound of the lock outside, and sent the breakfast to Ruan Yuyi's room.

According to the financial resources of the Cheng family, they could afford three meals a day for the whole family, but maybe they wanted to punish Ruan Yuyi, so they only gave them two meals a day.Originally, she thought that commoner clothes were eaten like this, and she could still accept it.

However, someone secretly made a hindrance, withholding the food and sending it later, not only the food was not good, but it was also cold.

At this moment, Ruan Yuyi woke up in the morning and finished washing.Since she couldn't go anywhere, and she didn't have to go to greet Mrs. Cheng Zhu, she just worked and rested freely.

After Mu Xiang placed the chopsticks for her, she picked up the bamboo chopsticks and moved them casually, but she didn't say anything, and just made do with the meal.

But Mu Xiang on the side looked at it and frowned, thinking that the person in the dining room was too courageous, and it was just a restraint, so he came here because of the wind.

Ruan Yuyi seemed to see through what she was thinking, and said softly, "Do you think they alone dare to do this without instructions behind them?"

"But—" Mu Xiang choked, she knew what Miss said was true.

Putting down the bamboo chopsticks, she let Mu Xiang pack things away in a daze.

Compared to this, she already didn't know what to do.Originally thought that Prince Yu's son would be able to help her, but she made a mistake. She didn't expect him to help her, and she just begged him not to trouble her.

But she really can only accept her fate, obey her aunt obediently, and marry her second cousin?

Thinking about it carefully, she felt that she couldn't be reconciled.

The auspicious day for Zhao Rong and Cheng Xingqiu was set in three days, and she felt bored after only a few days of confinement. If she will be confined to the status of the idiot's wife and concubine in the future, trapped in the cage of Cheng Mansion, How can she bear it.

"Miss."

Hearing Mu Xiang's voice in her ear, she came back to her senses.

Mu Xiang put an envelope on the table, "Mu Ling just found this under the corner of the wall. It's bulging inside, as if it was filled with hairpins or something."

Thanks to the strong paper of the envelope, it will not be damaged by the contents inside.Suspiciousness appeared in Ruan Yuyi's eyes, this could not be sent by Jiang Qi, he had already agreed with himself that he would also burn the previous letter.

But she was still looking forward to something vaguely.

Up to now, no matter who it is, they only hope that someone will extend a hand to her so that she will not fall into this quagmire.

She took out the objects inside, but her face suddenly turned pale.

She recognized that what was inside was her hairpin.

It was the one left for him on purpose in order to have an excuse to go back after leaving Shenghe Temple.The golden hairpin was the same as before, and the peach blossoms entwined with gold threads were lifelike, with little light shining from the petals, but she was terrified to see it.

Then unfold the letter paper inside, but with just a few glances, the blood on her face faded away little by little.Suppressing the uneasiness, he also carefully read the letter to the end.

"Mu Xiang, burn it for me, burn it clean." She crumpled the letter paper and handed it to Mu Xiang.

She was puzzled, and seeing that the young lady's complexion was not good, she tentatively asked, "What's wrong with it?" Ruan Yuyi didn't say anything, so she didn't ask any further questions, and lit the letter paper with the candlestick's fire.

Ruan Yuyi only felt something in her chest beating violently uncontrollably, as if it was about to break through her body.

In the letter, he threatened that if she hides again, the hairpin will not be sent next time, but her bellyband, and it will be sent to the main room of Cheng's mansion, so that others can take a good look.He made her wonder.

Only then did she get the impression that last time she walked in a hurry, her dress was in a mess, and she was so focused on the discomfort of her body that it was very possible that she left that thing.

It's just that she didn't expect that even the whisper when he was emotional was written on the letter paper with such vigorous and powerful handwriting.This embarrassed her more than a few threats.

She seemed to be able to think of his deep eyes, and looked at her with a smile on the corner of his lips, uttering these words word by word, as if he had everything under control.As for her, she was just a poor cub, no matter how she tried to escape, it was because he relaxed his hand a little, giving her a chance to breathe.

But in the current situation, where can she go?

After thinking about it, it doesn't matter if he was grounded, the door was locked, and there was a servant watching, at least he probably wouldn't enter Cheng's mansion just to find her.

In the next few days, she just took advantage of her spare time to play chess with Mu Xiang, her heart became much more relaxed, and she stopped frowning all day long.And I am afraid that the worries he found have not come true.

Then she can comfort herself, and take a step at a time, and she will be as good as the sky, but she will escape from Cheng's mansion and go back to her Wuzhou in a small boat.

On one side, Mu Xiang put away the veil stained with saliva, and smiled and echoed a few words.But she knew in her heart that the capital city and Wuzhou were one south and one north, and it was not so easy to get back. She was afraid that people from Cheng's mansion would find them halfway.

"Miss, why don't you find an opportunity to write a letter to the Ruan family, I think Madam won't ignore it." Mu Xiang suggested.

She paused her hand, suddenly remembered something, casually pinned the needle on the silk cloth, looked up at Mu Xiang, and asked the doubts in her heart:

"It's strange to say that after such a long time, it's long enough for the letter about Heli to go back and forth twice. Why hasn't there been any news from Wuzhou?"

Even if Father is gone, A-Niang loves her very much, otherwise she would not have tried every means to send her to Beijing, intending to be a good husband's family for her.

Knowing such a big matter, the Ruan family should not be indifferent, but the letter that said to go to Wuzhou seemed to have disappeared without any reply.

After a few words back and forth, she put down her needle and thread, called Mu Xiang to wait on her pen and ink, and wanted to write another letter to the Ruan family.

She lowered her eyes, her eyes fell on the rice paper, her serious appearance made her look more elegant, her charm was beyond dust, as if the current commotion had nothing to do with her.But there are some things that won't come if she doesn't figure it out.

In a blink of an eye, that auspicious day came.Cheng Zhushi donated a lot of incense money to invite the master to choose this day, which shows that he attaches great importance to it.

Even in her deserted courtyard, she could hear the sound of the suona outside, babbling and babbling, which went straight into her heart, making her flustered for no reason.

Although she was not allowed to go out, the dinner alone was enough to get a glimpse of the bustling Cheng Mansion today.

But what she didn't know was that because there was no marriage decree from the new emperor in this marriage, it was entirely the Eldest Princess Zhaorong's own initiative, so she didn't dare to put up too much battle.

Just make some momentum at will, complete the ceremony, and just ask for a proper name.

In the main hall, there were no members of Zhaorong's mother's family, and even the Cheng family's clan members could barely sit in a few seats, not counting as a cloud of guests.However, there were a lot of children who came, chattering and playing together, it didn't seem deserted.

Up and down Cheng's mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the servants and maidservants walking around were also full of joy on their faces.

Now, as a member of the imperial family, even if the eldest princess herself is not allowed to put up too much battle, the people of the Cheng family are determined to beat the gongs and drums as loud as possible, to tell others about this honor both openly and secretly.

The honor was stolen by sacrificing a cousin's marriage.

Some guests laughed and said, the Cheng family is going straight up.Attracted a piece of echo.

 Happy National Day~ (Although it is a bit late) National Day is not a holiday, I promise there will be more next time
