Chapter 110 The Wedding Procession Arrives
Shi Yuan's face darkened when he heard this.
"I absolutely disagree with this marriage. I know exactly what kind of person Li Shilong is. I won't let Xiaoxiao marry that kind of person."
As he spoke, he looked at the old lady with a slightly deeper gaze, "Mother is old, why bother worrying about these things? Xiaoxiao's marriage will be arranged by Dai'er and me. You don't have to interfere. Return the betrothal gifts and never mention this matter again."
The old lady insisted, "How can this be possible? The person is almost here, how can we cancel the engagement at this time?"
Song Dai felt uncomfortable, and at this moment, regardless of whether she was an elder or not, she directly challenged:
"Whoever came up with this idea should cancel the engagement. Do you really want to ruin Xiaoxiao's life?"
Song Dai's eyes fell on Qian with a mocking look, "Isn't it, sister?"
Qian gritted her teeth and said unwillingly, "I will go and break off the engagement with the Li family."
After hearing this, Shi Yuan's expression gradually eased a little, and he no longer cared about Shi Wanwan's initial attack on Shi Xiaoxiao.
He said calmly, "That's best."
The old lady was so angry that she threw her sleeves and said, "Wanwan, help me go back!"
Seeing that Qian did not come as planned, the old lady was so angry that she didn't even call her.
Watching the old lady slowly leaving, Qian felt extremely distressed.
Shi Yuan's gaze fell on the old lady's back, and he finally sighed deeply.
Song Dai held Shi Xiaoxiao's hand and asked distressedly, "Xiaoxiao, are you hurt anywhere? Wanwan was really too much back then. She even dared to attack her own sister."
Shi Xiaoxiao changed her pitiful expression and said with a smile: "It's okay, Mom, she didn't hurt me."
It was so funny. Shi Wanwan couldn't hurt her at all, but she slapped her instead.
She felt so happy!
If Shi Wanwan didn't hit her, she couldn't find a reason to slap her.
Shi Wanwan's attack on her was exactly what she wanted.
Shi Yuan placed his hand on Shi Xiaoxiao's shoulder and said earnestly, "Xiaoxiao, if you have any problems, you can always come to Daddy. Daddy will always stand behind you and support you."
Shi Xiaoxiao nodded gratefully.
My opinion of Shi Yuan gradually changed.
At first, she thought that if Shi Yuan realized that she was no longer the original Shi Xiaoxiao, it might be detrimental to her.
As they got to know each other better, she felt that no matter what she became.
Shi Yuan always loved her and would not be alienated from her because of some changes in her behavior.
Maybe she had been thinking too much before.
The farce ended, and Shi Yuan and Song Dai left together.
At this time, the sound of gongs and drums was heard at the gate of the prime minister's residence.
Shi Xiaoxiao knew that it was someone from the Li family.
I couldn't help but sneer in my heart.
I'm afraid the Li family doesn't know that their engagement is about to be broken off and they are about to be humiliated.
She didn't want to pay attention.
But Xiaoyuan and the others were very curious and looked out the door from time to time, but they could not see anything.
Shi Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh, "Since you're so curious, just go and take a look!"
Ah Xing explained sheepishly, "Miss, we just wanted to see what the eldest lady would say. What if she goes back on her word or says something unfavorable to you?"
Shi Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and nodded, "That's right. Then you go and take a look. If the situation isn't right, you can just give them some fanning."
A few people are happy.
Ah Xing patted her chest and promised, "Don't worry, young lady. I know what to do and will not let her succeed."
……
main entrance.
The Li family's wedding procession was so grand that it stopped at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion with the sound of gongs and drums.
People on the street stopped to watch curiously.
I was filled with doubts.
Why is there a wedding procession at the Prime Minister’s Mansion?
They had never heard of any happy events in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
There were also some people who heard the news and came to see the show.
"Strange, why is there a wedding procession parked outside the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Yeah, I haven't heard of any happy events in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
The other person raised his head proudly, as if to say, "I know what's going on." "Oh, you don't know this, do you?"
Everyone looked at him curiously when they heard this.
"What do you mean, do you know what's going on?"
The man grinned and said, "My cousin's nephew works as a servant in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He is the one who told me this."
Everyone's eyes lit up, "Tell us about it now."
The man carefully looked at the location of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when he saw that no one had come out yet, he spoke quietly.
"It is said that the marriage between the Second Miss Shi and Li Shilong was proposed yesterday and will be accepted today."
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Miss Shi Er? Is she the fool who has been stupid for ten years?"
"Who else could it be if not her?"
"That's impossible. Although the Second Miss was silly at that time, she was still the daughter of the Prime Minister. How could she marry... someone like that?"
And it seemed so hasty.
Is there any inside story?
As he said this, he glanced cautiously in the direction of Li Shilong.
Others may not know about Li Shilong's romantic affairs.
But those who have been on the streets for a long time know it all too well.
Then Li Shilong is a gentleman with a bad character.
He is a playboy and a gambler, but on the surface he appears to be a modest gentleman.
If it weren't for my wealthy family, I would have squandered it all by him.
He just killed his wife last month and has sixteen concubines in his house. Unexpectedly, he is now reaching out to the foolish daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The man shook his head. "You all know that the second young lady was divorced by the Crown Prince because she was very stupid since childhood. Now no one wants her, so she had no choice but to agree to the Li family's marriage."
Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads.
"Ah, he's also a poor fellow."
Li Shilong was wearing wedding clothes and sitting upright on his horse.
He glanced at the onlookers with a hint of pride in his eyes.
Now he is also the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his status has been elevated. The more he looks at these people, the more he looks down on them.
Some people in the crowd saw Li Shilong's undisguised contempt and felt a little dissatisfied.
It’s even more of a pity that Shi Xiaoxiao, a good girl, is about to marry this scum.
soon.
The door of the Prime Minister's Mansion opened, and the graceful and elegant Qian walked out.
But she was the only one.
A flattering smile immediately appeared on Li Shilong's face.
"My mother-in-law is here. I wonder why Miss Shi hasn't come out yet. It would be bad if she missed the auspicious time."
Qian looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Seeing this, Li Shilong thought for a moment, rolled his eyes slightly, and bent his waist even lower.
"Mother-in-law, are you considering my sincerity? Don't worry, I absolutely want to marry Miss Shi as my concubine. I promise that I will treat Miss Shi well and will not let you worry."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd watching was in an uproar.
They felt that Shi Xiaoxiao was already very wronged by marrying Li Shilong, but they didn't expect that she would still be a concubine.
Suddenly, the way he looked at Qian was not right.
In their opinion, it was Qian's idea to make Shi Xiaoxiao a concubine.
After all, no legitimate mother in the world would like a daughter born out of wedlock.
This was not the first time they had seen a stepmother arrange an unequal marriage for her illegitimate daughter.
In an instant, everyone felt sorry for Shi Xiaoxiao.
"No way! After all, she's the daughter of a prominent prime minister, and she's actually being forced to marry into the Li family as a concubine?"
"Oh no, because she is a concubine's daughter. She was never liked by her mother. Even if she becomes a legitimate daughter because of her mother's status, she will be targeted by her mother even more. Isn't this the case?"
"Speaking of which, the Second Young Lady was truly pitiful at this time. She couldn't even choose where to be born, or whether to be a legitimate or illegitimate child."
Some people in the crowd looked at Qian with their lips curled and shook their heads, looking down on Qian's style.
