The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

When the marriage procession was still two miles away from Tuniu Village, a group of children ran out of the village, giggling.

Women who loved to watch the fun also came over in groups of three or five.

Because the wedding procession would scatter handfuls of wedding candies from time to time on the road, the Gu family and the Meng family jointly opened a sugar-making workshop, so they could be more generous when scattering candies.

If the villagers just walk a little further, they can pick up a few more candies.

In addition to Tuniu Village, many people also ran out from several nearby villages.

Even pedestrians on the official road stopped to watch the fun and scramble for candy with the villagers.

Both sides of the road were filled with people, and a bright red and festive wedding procession was slowly approaching.

Ding Honglian and Hu Yuting, mother and daughter, were also in the crowd, looking at the bridal sedan with envy.

Looking at the tall and handsome Gu Qingshan, Hu Yuting felt very regretful. If her mother had not fallen out with Gu Qinghuai's family, she might have been able to marry Gu Qingshan and live a good life from then on.

After all, their two families were neighbors, so she had plenty of opportunities to get close to Gu Qingshan.

Ding Honglian looked at Gu Qingshan riding on his tall horse, and then looked at the dozens of dowries, and her heart was filled with jealousy.

Humph, if it weren’t for that bitch Zhao Ying, she would be the one marrying Gu Heng, and it would be her son who is getting married today!

Why is that bitch Zhao Ying so lucky!

Standing with the mother and daughter were Yuan Zian's mother, Mrs. Ji, and her eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Wu.

Ding Honglian bit her teeth and said to the women around her, "Hey, have you heard? Gu Qingshan's bride is an ugly woman with a disfigured face. It is said that her face is horrifyingly ugly."

Wu was surprised and asked, "Really? Who told you that?"

Ding Honglian said proudly: "My daughter Yuting was washing clothes by the river yesterday, and I heard it from a few passing women."

Mother Ji curled her lips and said sarcastically: “It must be true. I heard that the bride is from the city. If her face wasn’t so ugly, how could she fall for Gu Qingshan, a peasant?”

Wu covered her mouth with her hands and whispered, "Mother, you can't say that. Gu Qingshan is a good man, and his family is rich now. I heard that they built a large mansion with six entrances in the back. He is worthy of a city girl."

"Oh, even if she is a city girl, she is still ugly!" said Mrs. Ji gloating.

Two unfamiliar old women in the crowd looked at each other and smiled triumphantly.

The two of them looked ahead of the road and quickly retreated to a less crowded place.

The wedding procession continued to move forward.

The matchmaker walking in front was twisting her waist, waving a red handkerchief, and having a festive smile on her face.

Ding Honglian shouted, "Mrs. Matchmaker, I heard that the bride looks like a fairy. Can we take a look at her?"

The other women also laughed and agreed.

"Ah, bah, bah, bah!" The matchmaker glared at Ding Honglian and spat, "What are you looking at? We haven't even entered the bridal chamber and lifted the veil yet, what are you looking at?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion ahead, and the crowd screamed and scattered.

I saw two tall and strong bulls rushing towards this side like crazy, followed by two villagers who were running breathlessly.

"Ah! The cow is going crazy, get out of the way!"

The onlookers panicked and quickly ran to the empty areas on both sides of the road.

Seeing the bull getting closer, Gu Qingshan shouted to Gu Qingsong and Xiaohuo who were riding donkeys behind him: “Get out of the way!”

The sedan bearers were so frightened that they dropped their sedans and ran away.

Gu Qingshan quickly jumped off his horse, moved to the side of the bridal sedan, and said to the door of the sedan, "Zheng'er, don't be afraid!" Then he pulled away the wooden pole that held the sedan, and faced the mad bull.

"Brother be careful!"

"Uncle, be careful!"

Gu Qingsong and Xiaohuo screamed in shock.

When the mad bull approached, Gu Qingshan swung the wooden pole and hit the mad bull hard on the head.

The mad bull was knocked unconscious and staggered two steps. Gu Qingshan quickly pulled out the dagger he carried with him and stabbed it into the bull's neck.

Instantly, the cow's blood spurted out, splashing all over the ground in bright red.

The mad bull behind also rushed up. Gu Qingshan jumped to the side and kicked it hard on the neck. The bull screamed and fell to the ground instantly.

Gu Qingshan was worried that the cow would stand up and hurt someone, so he kicked the cow's belly several times.

The people at the scene watched Gu Qingshan kill two mad cows in a short time, all of them were still in shock and stared blankly at it all.

The two men who looked like villagers finally ran over, one tall and one short, both with dark skin and wearing patched coarse cloth clothes.

Seeing the two cows falling to the ground, the tall villager’s face suddenly changed. He pointed at Gu Qingshan and shouted angrily: “You… you killed my cows! The government has a rule that cows cannot be slaughtered at will. I will go to the government to sue you!”

Hearing this, Shu Mingzheng could no longer sit still, so he lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and walked down.

Gu Qingshan took out a handkerchief, wiped the dagger, and said in a cold voice: "So many people at the scene saw it. Your cows went crazy and rushed around. Not only did they disrupt my wedding, but they also almost hurt my bride. If I don't kill them, do I have to watch them kill people? Which is more precious, human life or your cow's life?!"

The two villagers looked at each other, hiding their guilty conscience, and continued to argue: "We don't know why the cow suddenly went crazy. Cows are animals, they don't understand. You are a human, don't you understand? You can just drive them away, why do you have to beat them to death?! This cow is a heavy laborer in my family. Without the cow, how will our family survive?"

"Oh, really? You really don't know why this cow suddenly went crazy?" Gu Qinghuai carried Xiao Huhu on a waist stool and rode over on Chi Yan.

Someone at home was busy and she didn't need to do any work, so she held Xiao Huhu and rode Chi Yan to the village entrance, waiting for her eldest brother's wedding party. Unexpectedly, she saw this scene from afar and immediately drove over.

“Huai’er, why are you here?” Gu Qingshan asked with a smile.

Shu Mingzheng, with her veil covering her head, also waved in the direction of Gu Qinghuai's voice.

Gu Qinghuai swept his sharp eyes through the crowd and said with a smile: "I'm waiting for you at the entrance of the village!"

After saying that, she looked at the two villagers coldly and said sarcastically, "Don't you really know why your cows went crazy? Isn't there someone behind the scenes instigating you to ruin my eldest brother's wedding and deliberately embarrass my sister-in-law?"

When Shu Mingzheng heard this, he immediately understood who was behind the incident.

She clenched the veil in her hand, and a chill appeared in her eyes.

The two villagers looked panicked.

They didn't expect that the young lady on horseback could guess so accurately. Someone was indeed instructing them to do this and gave them a reward of twenty taels of silver each.

However, even if they were found out, they were not afraid, because the people who ordered them were the family members of the county magistrate. In Qinghe County, the county magistrate was the most powerful person, so who would dare to offend him?

"How can you talk like that, little girl? What do you mean by being ordered around? You're just a beast. When you're too tired, you'll go crazy," the short villager continued to play dumb.

Gu Qinghuai sneered, dismounted, walked to the cow's buttocks, looked carefully, and found a two-inch long needle on the buttocks of each cow.
