It was raining heavily, so Jiusu didn't let his father go, for fear that he would infect his mother with a cold.

Li Zi ran frantically on the street, followed by a group of people. He came to a bridge with rushing water below. "She should be here."

Yu Qing frowned, grabbed his collar in disbelief, clenched his fist, and gritted his teeth, "Did you do this on purpose? What is my sister doing in this place?"

Li Zi was pressed against the wall, his eyes empty.

A hint of self-mockery appeared on his lips.

"She said it felt a lot like her home in South City."

Suddenly, the Yu family's hearts seemed to be soaked in vinegar. Listening to the sound of running water beside them, someone said, "It's not like South City at all. It's so cold here."

It’s raining so hard, where can I find it?

Li Zi narrowed his eyes and looked at the color in front of him. He pointed: "There!"

Everyone looked at it.

All I saw was a hint of orange falling into the water.

Yu Tingbei stretched out his hand and shouted, "Mingzhu!"

The three grown men jumped into the water without hesitation, but the current was too fast and Yu Mingzhu was washed away.

Jiusu took out a retractable rope from the system, found the target, and threw it to the river. She was taken down and jumped from the bridge, a full seven meters. If it weren’t for the rope, she would have triggered the protection system.

She felt like she had died a hundred times already.

"Give me your hand."

But the woman in the water had lost consciousness.

Looking back at the three people who were trying hard to swim over here, she had no choice but to take out the power raft, put it on the water, and pull her up. Fortunately, the water below was flat.

She stopped the raft.

Together with them, they lifted the pearl to the shore.

"Yu Mingzhu?" Jiusu pressed his hands on her chest, squeezing out the water she had drunk.

Yu Mingzhu choked on the water and felt as if her body had been washed. She felt very uncomfortable. She looked at the people around her with difficulty and said weakly, "Why did you save me?"

She no longer had the strength to speak.

Especially Li Zi, who is he trying to disgust by putting on that regretful and infatuated look?

Li Zi didn't dare to speak.

Yu's family didn't know what to say to comfort him.

Jiusu took a deep breath and said, "Yu Mingzhu, do you remember what you told Zitan? What would you do if I sent you a letter?"

Yu Mingzhu murmured, "From now on, Miss Li will choose the Nan family's business."

That's roughly what it means.

Jiusu asked back: "If you die, who will testify?"

Yu Mingzhu widened her eyes and asked in disbelief: "Shouldn't you be comforting me? Why can you say such cold words with your warm mouth?"

"Comfort? That's another price." Jiusu stood up, "Wait until you've repaid the favor before you seek death. Otherwise, when you get to the underworld, the King of Hell will think you're a treacherous villain and might let you be reborn as an animal."

Yu Mingzhu frowned and raised her voice: "Beastly way?"

Jiusu threatened: "Be a pig."

Yu Mingzhu sat up in fear and thought seriously about what it would be like to be a pig. She put on a straight face and said seriously, "I don't want to be a pig. You are right. I still want to repay you."

In the distance, there were sounds of blowing and beating.

The rain was foggy.

Only a woman was seen rushing out of the bridal sedan. The heavy rain had dyed her red wedding dress a dark color. She wanted to climb over and jump into the water, but was held tightly by the old woman behind her.

The woman looked in pain and held on to the branch tightly.

crunch.

The moment it broke.

She closed her eyes, feeling desperate.

"Why won't you let me die?!"

The old woman grabbed her collar and threatened: "Don't worry, you will die in a moment, but you have to go through the motions with us."

The bride smiled bitterly: "Death is different."

After that, she was stuffed back into the bridal sedan.

Witnessing all this, Yu Mingzhu stood up and quickly responded, "That woman didn't volunteer. Can I save her?"

She tightly grasped the wet hem of her skirt, her eyes wandering, and when she thought of her own marriage, she couldn't help feeling sympathy.

Jiusu had already run half a meter and she turned around.

In Yu Mingzhu's eyes, she smiled brightly.

"If you don't go now, people will go away."

A group of people climbed onto the bridge and chased forward.

Yu Tingbei was running out of breath. He was happy for a rare moment: "I am really happy to have you two youngsters go crazy together. Let's get wet in the rain together today, and let's drink a glass of medicine soup together tomorrow."

When he rushed here from South City, he thought of countless possible bad outcomes.

She was not happy with the marriage to begin with, but her daughter was determined to leave Nancheng and marry in Shengjing.

He thought that at least his daughter would be happy.

Watching his daughter running freely in the rain, his eyes turned red.

The bridal sedan was forced to stop.

Yu Zhong was a big and strong man, standing in front of them, which scared them.

The matchmaker swung the handkerchief in her hand. It was raining and this was a bad wedding. It was annoying enough, and there were always people making trouble. She cursed, "Where did you come from? Get out of here right now. You can't afford to delay the wedding!"

Yu Mingzhu heard the commotion in the sedan chair.

She wanted to find out what was going on, but was pushed out by the two matchmakers.

"She didn't do it voluntarily, you are forcing her!"

This sentence seemed to ignite the anger of the matchmakers, "Why don't you drive away these troublemakers? If they delay the wedding arranged by the queen, we will all die."

The queen? The queen in the palace?

Jiusu showed the jade token, and the matchmaker came closer to take a look, then quickly knelt on the ground.

Jiusu asked: "Which lady is it?"

The bride looked at Jiusu fearfully and whispered, "My Lady of Concubine Xi."

I haven't been to the palace for a long time and have never heard of this concubine.

The matchmaker was clever. She advised, "Master Jiu, you should not worry about this matter. You should know Xifei's brother, Chen Bantou. He died before he got married, so the queen arranged a ghost marriage."

Jiusu suddenly realized: "It seems that all this was caused by me."

She strode forward and opened the curtain of the sedan chair.

The bride was being held down by her maid.

Yu Mingzhu took a few steps back. Isn't this her? She was pinned down in the room, unable to speak or talk. Fortunately, both of them were saved. "Ghost marriage? You guys can come up with that!"

The concubine smiled awkwardly: "I will not hide it from you. Concubine Xi is pregnant and is in favor. Master Jiu should not interfere in this matter."

The sedan chair tried to be lifted up again, but Yu Qing stepped on it.

Yu Mingzhu stretched out her hand to the bride: "Follow me."

The bride broke free from the maid, held Yu Mingzhu's hand, and walked out of the narrow and long sedan chair, breathing a sigh of relief. However, she was stopped by the bridesmaid and others.

She threw the red veil on the ground.

She protested, "I won't marry!"

Mrs. Xi's face changed, "This is not up to you. If you dare to disobey Concubine Xi's order, not only you, but all of our families will die."

Jiusu said calmly: "Who dares to stop me?"

She made way for the two of them.

Yu Mingzhu took the bride's hand and ran forward.

The face of the concubine changed drastically, but she did not dare to resist. She reminded again: "The Concubine Xi is in favor."

Jiusu said: "If she is smart, she should not let the emperor know about this bad habit. You and I should not embarrass each other. Let's just pretend we didn't meet today. What do you think?"

"Thank you, Lord Jiu!" Xi Po suddenly realized and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

How could there not be a way to have the best of both worlds? She could deceive Concubine Xi. This matter had already been done. She would not have to die, nor would she have to offend Lord Jiu.
