Chapter 117 Bride Substitution
"Look, it's different for marrying a new girl. She speaks so hard. Don't forget that you, the bride, have not been accused of the church yet, don't let someone kidnap it."
Zou Chengji curled his lips and smiled, "Don't worry, no one can kidnap away."
Zou Chengji didn't delay for long and came back soon.
As the auspicious time approached, Zou Chengji's words became less and less.
Several friends noticed his abnormality and even joked: "What? Are you nervous? Why are you scared?"
"What's there to be afraid of me? Don't talk nonsense one by one."
I am nervous, excited, and an excitement that I am finally about to get what I want. This is my secret and I cannot tell anyone about it.
I don’t know that for Zou Chengji at this time, every moment seemed very long, and he wished that the auspicious time would come soon.
Because I was anxious to wait, did I ask the servants to ask how long it would take to wait for auspicious times, which attracted more jokes.
Finally, the auspicious time came, and all the guests were brought to the front hall. In the eyes of everyone, Xi Po helped Miss Qin to walk slowly.
Because they could not see their faces, everyone only looked at Miss Qin's wedding dress. They saw that the wedding dress was layered and gorgeous and complex. In the middle of their actions, the hem of the skirt was slight rippling like red mist, and the gold thread embroidered on the head was also flashing in between their actions, and a faint stream of light looked gorgeous and dazzling.
Even the noble ladies who were used to seeing all kinds of silk and satin could not help but secretly praised the beautiful wedding dress in their hearts.
I thought to myself: The Qin family is really willing to spend money to marry their eldest daughter. It would cost a lot of money to make such a wedding dress.
Everyone saw Zou Chengji watching the bride approaching with a smile on his face. At this time, Xi Po handed over the two ends of Xi Si to the hands of the two, and the ceremony officially began.
Worship the heaven and earth.
Second worship the high hall.
The couple bowed each other.
Etiquette.
Everyone was urging to send the two into the bridal chamber, but they saw that Zou Chengji seemed to have tripped up by something under his feet and fell straight towards the bride.
The bride subconsciously reached out and helped her, but when Zou Chengji got up, she accidentally pulled off the bride's veil.
The veil embroidered with mandarin ducks fell to the ground, and the bride's face showed up, looking very at a loss.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone seemed to have been fixed by the acupoints, staring blankly at the bride standing there with a helpless look on their faces.
What's going on? How could the bride be her? This is not the lady of the Qin family. Many of the people present had seen Miss Qin with their own eyes before, but Miss Qin didn't look like this at all.
Isn’t this...the woman named Meng Zhinian?
No servants in the Yongchang Marquis’ Mansion didn’t know her. She was the maid of the young master in the mansion.
"Why are you here? Miss Qin?" The Marquis's wife reacted first, got up and glared at Meng Zhinian in a wedding dress.
"I don't know, what's going on? Why am I here?" Meng Zhinian also looked panicked and puzzled.
"You don't know? You don't know if you are here to marry Cheng Ji? Tell me! Did you replace Miss Qin privately? Where did you get Miss Qin?"
"I really don't. I know what's going on. I don't know where Miss Qin is." Meng Zhinian defended with a grievance.
"You..." The Marquis's wife wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zou Chengji, "Okay, mother, let me leave this matter."
As he said that, he looked at Meng Zhinian, "I know what you think. I know what you want to marry me. But... you can't do this, where is Miss Qin and where did you get her? As long as you tell me Miss Qin's whereabouts, I can't pursue you. Now we two have really been in court. From then on, you will be my legitimate wife. As long as you can tell me Miss Qin's whereabouts, okay?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. The little marquis actually wanted to exchange Miss Qin's whereabouts with his wife?! This...
"Then... I can only tell you one person."
"Okay." Zou Chengji agreed happily, "Let's go to the new house and say."
"What are you doing..." The Marquis's wife reacted and hurriedly stopped her.
But Zou Chengji whispered in his mother's ear: "It's important to find out Miss Qin's whereabouts first."
The Marquis's wife was also a little confused at this time. When she heard Zou Chengji say this, she nodded slightly. She thought to herself that Meng Zhinian was just a minority girl. She could make a big wave in front of their Yongchang Marquis' Mansion. It is important to find Miss Qin's whereabouts first. Don't really make a lawsuit for life.
In front of everyone, Zou Chengji took Meng Zhinian into the new house.
He held everyone out of the new house. Zou Chengji held Meng Zhinian's hand and sat down on Xi's bed, "Look, everything here was arranged by me personally. Do you like it?"
"Little Marquis, I..."
"Don't talk for now." A hint of anger flashed in Zou Chengji's eyes. Seeing that Meng Zhinian stopped talking, he continued: "Now we have become a close friend in front of everyone. We are legitimate couples. Don't worry, Miss Qin has my own comfort. I will go to Qin's house to apologize in person. You don't have to do anything, just be a bride."
After saying this, Zou Chengji raised his hand and gently stroked Meng Zhinian's side face. Then he seemed to suddenly remember something, and immediately put down his hand, took out the handkerchief from his arms and wiped it.
After a while, he stood up, put the handkerchief that had passed by his hand on the table, and then said, "You just sit here and wait, I will bring Miss Qin back."
Meng Zhinian said nothing.
Zou Chengji walked straight out.
"How is it? Did she say it?"
Seeing Zou Chengji come out, Mrs. Yongchang Hou hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"I said it. Miss Qin is fine, she is just locked up temporarily."
Hearing this, Mrs. Yongchang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it didn't really kill anyone.
Then, Zou Chengji reached out to attract a few servants and whispered to them where Miss Qin was locked up by them and asked them to save the person.
Sure enough, a few servants rushed to the place where Zou Chengji said and saw that Miss Qin was really knocked out and tied there, wearing the same wedding dress.
So what should I do now? The auspicious time has passed and the ceremony has been completed. Should I send Miss Qin to the bridal chamber directly, or to give another ceremony?
"Send it to the bridal chamber directly." said the Marquis's wife, "Just think that the one who just celebrated the ceremony was Miss Qin."
The auspicious time has passed, how can I hold a ceremony again? What's more, if I hold a ceremony again, it would be too embarrassing to see, so I just cover it up like this.
At this time, Zou Chengji heard: "I had agreed to Zhi Nian just now. As long as she told me about Miss Qin's whereabouts, I would admit that she was my wife. We both had just passed away..."
