Chapter 107 Dealing with the Troublemakers
Grandma Chi was chatting and laughing with others when she was suddenly so frightened by what she saw that she couldn't speak properly and almost fainted!
"Pull her apart, pull her apart now! Gag Second Sister, she's gone mad just like her mother!"
Old Madam Chi had never lost face like this before! Today was supposed to be the most prestigious day for their Vice Minister's residence, and yet a fight broke out!
If I had known this wretched child would bring such a disaster upon us, I shouldn't have let her get married in the first place. Sending her back to her hometown or secretly executing her would have been better than humiliating her entire family today!
The servants stepped forward and quickly separated the two.
However, Chi Guiying was extremely ruthless and refused to let go, tearing out a large clump of Lü's mother's hair, along with a large piece of her scalp, causing Lü's mother to scream in pain.
"A daughter-in-law murdering her mother-in-law is a capital offense! A capital offense! Who would dare to marry a daughter of the Vice Minister's family in the future! They've all gone mad, they've all gone mad!"
Mother Lü cursed and swore, not uttering a single kind word.
Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately grabbed the hot tea beside her and splashed it in her face, then angrily shouted, "Force this 'wake-up call' tea down Lu Shi's throat! Let her keep spouting nonsense!"
The tea was freshly served, and Lu's mother's mouth was covered in blisters from the heat. Coupled with her recent injuries, her appearance was truly pitiful!
The scene was chaotic. He Lingyi didn't care about the injury on her arm at all. She just wanted to kill Lu's mother and Chi Guiying. They had caused her mother such a miserable life in the past life, and now they wanted to ruin her wedding day. They were simply unforgivable.
Therefore, he suddenly spoke fiercely to Old Madam Chi.
"What kind of marriage has the Chi family arranged? Why are they causing trouble on this joyous occasion? Do they think the people from the Marquis of Haibo's mansion and the General of the State's mansion are easy to bully? Old Madam, are you really going to let them cause trouble like this and do nothing about it?"
This was the first time that Old Madam Chi had ever seen the He family's young lady get angry. Although she was an elder, the other party was the future Crown Princess, whose status was far higher than hers. Naturally, she dared not be angry or speak out.
He could only lash out at the servants.
"Quickly tie these people up and take them to the back. Also, send someone to fetch a doctor to treat Miss He's injuries!"
After saying this, he immediately smiled and looked at everyone present.
"I'm sorry to have startled you ladies. Please move to the waterside pavilion outside. What happened inside was all because Second Sister was jealous of Eldest Sister's marriage. She was originally a girl who was expelled from the Chi family. I thought she would consider the family's reputation when she came today, but who knew she was just as crazy as her mother. Please don't spread this around. It's really not good to air our dirty laundry. I thank you in advance."
As he spoke, he bowed deeply to the onlookers in all directions.
All the reputation and face she had cultivated throughout her life vanished in that moment. Her tearful appearance made some of her close friends reluctant to criticize her, and they even spoke up for her.
"It's alright, it's alright. It's just a quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. We didn't see or hear anything. Today is a joyous occasion to congratulate the eldest daughter on her marriage. Let's go and take a look at the pavilion outside. We've heard it brings good luck!"
"Yes, yes, let's go outside and take a look!"
Hearing this, not only did Old Madam Chi breathe a sigh of relief, but Madam Qin and He Lingyi also felt a little relieved. No matter how ugly the situation was, they had to smooth things over today.
In the courtyard of brocade.
News of the trouble caused by the Lü family in the backyard still reached them. Fu Dong was filled with righteous indignation, but Granny Nian told her not to reveal it.
"Making such a scene on such a joyous occasion will naturally affect the young lady's mood, but the longer it is known, the happier she will be. Miss Fudong, it's best not to let it slip."
Qianchun meant the same thing, so she explained it to Fudong again and again.
Just then, a salvo of firecrackers went off outside, and the three of them knew immediately that the Qiao family had arrived. They quickly changed their expressions and went inside to say something.
"Miss, your fiancé is here. Get ready to leave."
Chi Guiwan was also a bride for the first time. Her expression was shy but also full of anticipation. Speaking of this marriage with the Qiao family, she almost refused it back then. If it weren't for Lingyi, she wouldn't have the happiness she has now.
"Where's Lingyi? Why hasn't she come over?"
"Miss He sent a message saying that there are too many guests coming from the backyard and she can't leave for a while. She told you not to wait, and she would go directly to the Qiao family with the procession. But, Miss, once you enter the bridal chamber, you can't see anyone else. So, if you want to see Miss He, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until after your wedding night."
Hearing this, Chi Guiwan was a little disappointed.
But then she thought about it again and felt much more at ease. "She's the future Crown Princess, so she must have all sorts of social engagements waiting for her. Oh well, there's no rush. Where's my cousin? Has he arrived yet?"
"They're here, they're here, they've been waiting outside."
According to the custom of Dalong, when a woman gets married, her brothers have to carry her out of the house. Chi Guiwan had a half-baked younger brother who was too weak to even kill a chicken. Seeing this, the Haibo Marquis's mansion insisted that the person carrying her should be her cousin.
At first, Chi Yunjing was not happy, but after thinking about it, he felt it didn't matter. Anyway, he didn't care much about this son, so he might as well use him to fulfill the Haibo Marquis's wish and have someone to talk about in the future.
Outside the courtyard, my older cousin Haijin had been waiting for quite some time.
However, the faint smile that had been on his face became somewhat complicated after he heard about the trouble caused by the Lü family in the backyard.
This family is truly persistent; no wonder Lingyi had to take action against them.
Even he felt that the two of them were no longer useful, but when he heard someone calling him from the courtyard, he regained his calm and smiling expression and went inside.
Haijin smiled when he first saw Chi Guiwan.
“My cousin has really grown up. I’ve come today to see you off on your wedding day.”
One sentence almost brought tears to Chi Guiwan's eyes. She watched as her older cousin bent down and climbed onto him, his feet instantly leaving the ground, but she felt no fear whatsoever.
This action reminded her of a few jokes she made as a child.
When she injured her leg, her older cousin carried her home. On the way, to cheer her up, he said, "When you get married, how about your cousin carries you on his back too?"
Unexpectedly, a joke made back then actually came true.
Hearing the joyful sounds of firecrackers and blessings around her, Chi Guiwan had never been so excited, but in the end she still leaned close to Haijin's ear and said something.
"Big cousin, having a brother like you in this life is Guiwan's greatest blessing!"
