Fast Travel: The Hundred-Life Couple
Chapter 120 The Groom Escaped 01
On the wedding day, the groom disappeared. Ye Xiaoli put on the phoenix crown and bridal bridal gown, but when the time came for the groom to pick up the bride, he still hadn't been found.
"What should we do?" The people of the Xie family were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
"Where did that brat go?" Old Master Xie was furious and questioned the housekeeper.
"My lord, the second young master... must have eloped with Xiaolian, Miss Ye's maid." The housekeeper found it difficult to speak, but finally said it with gritted teeth.
"This evil creature can't distinguish between the important and the urgent!" Old Master Xie slammed his cane on the ground and glared at Mr. and Mrs. Xie. "What a good son you have raised!"
"What should we do, Master?" Madam Xie thought quickly, "Why not just say Jian'er is sick and have Ye Xiaoli marry a rooster? At least we can get by with today."
Mr. Xie was a hottie. He was moved by what he heard and was about to nod when Old Master Xie hit Mrs. Xie with his crutch, making her cry out "ouch".
"What kind of rotten idea is this? Isn't this just humiliating Little Carp?"
He shook his beard and shouted angrily, "Xiao Li is the apple of the eye of that old man from the Ye family. If the Ye family knew your intentions, they would tear you apart. Otherwise, the two families would end up becoming enemies instead of getting married."
"What should we do?"
Mrs. Xie felt as if someone had stabbed her on the back, but she didn't dare to get angry. She hid aside and said weakly, "Marry her first to get through today, and then compensate her later."
"Otherwise, if Jian'er doesn't show up, Ye Xiaoli himself will become the laughing stock of the entire capital!"
Aunt Xiao and Young Master Xie had been sitting in the corner. Aunt Xiao was originally gloating over the joke, but suddenly she remembered that her son had been unable to get Ye Xiaoli and had been suffering in recent years, and she couldn't help but feel hot-headed.
With the right time, place and people, she really wanted to fight for her son.
"Master, how about..." Concubine Xiao, who usually kept a low profile in big occasions, suddenly spoke up, attracting everyone's attention. Seeing that her father-in-law and the master were looking at her, she made up her mind, "Let Dongxu marry Miss Ye. Let everyone know that the original engagement was between Dongxu and Miss Ye."
"No!" Mrs. Xie immediately objected.
You have to know that Ye Xiaoli is the daughter of that bitch Cheng Yaoyao. I heard that the emperor loved her deeply when he was a prince.
But in order to prevent her from being involved in the turbulent struggle for the throne of the royal family, he suppressed his feelings and gave Cheng Yaoyao to his good brother Ye Zhilin.
Ye Zhilin and Cheng Yaoyao loved each other and gave birth to three sons and one daughter after marriage. More than 20 years have passed, and the two have never had a quarrel.
Seeing Cheng Yaoyao living a happy life, the emperor felt regretful and melancholy, but also very relieved.
Because he couldn't give Cheng Yaoyao what Ye Zhilin could give her.
Ye Xiaoli is the youngest daughter of Ye Zhilin and Cheng Yaoyao. Since she was born, she has been extremely loved and pampered by the emperor. She is often summoned to the palace by the emperor and has almost grown up on his lap.
Mr. Xie's biological sister is the emperor's concubine and the third prince, and is a popular candidate for the new round of succession battle.
The imperial concubine wanted Ye Xiaoli to marry the third prince, but the cunning old man Ye was very foresighted. When Ye Xiaoli was just born, he arranged for her to marry old man Xie's grandson.
Although the imperial concubine was unwilling, she believed that it would be more beneficial to the Third Prince if Ye Xiaoli married into her natal family, the Xie family, rather than marrying into any other family in the capital.
The emperor did plan to pass the throne to the third prince. In addition, Xie Nanjian was handsome and elegant, and had been quite smart and clever since childhood, so he acquiesced to the marriage between Ye Xiaoli and Xie Nanjian with great disdain.
I really didn't expect this. Xie Nanjian had never been rebellious in the past ten years and had always been the child of other people's families.
As a result, on the wedding day, he unexpectedly pooped a huge pile on everyone.
"Ye Xiaoli is of noble status, how could she marry a lowly bastard?" Madam Xie said sharply and harshly, "Even if the father-in-law agrees, the emperor won't agree!"
Mr. Xie pondered in silence.
"Your Majesty agrees!" At this time, Xie Dongxu, who had been silent and seemed like a transparent person, spoke.
He stood up and nodded slightly to Old Master Xie: "Grandfather, you underestimate the emperor's concern for Miss Ye, and you also underestimate Miss Ye's ability. The moment Xie Nanjian hooked up with her maid, Miss Ye knew it."
"She just pretended not to know."
"So, Grandfather, Xie Nanjian ran away from the marriage today, making her lose face. If she doesn't give Miss Ye a satisfactory explanation, she won't set foot outside the Ye Mansion. After today, our Xie family will also be disliked by the emperor."
"Even the Imperial Concubine and the Third Prince in the palace will probably not be spared and will probably be the target of the Emperor's wrath."
Lord and Madam Xie were shocked, with the latter having an ominous premonition. However, Madam Xiao felt for the first time that her son was radiating light, and she could not look at him closely.
Mr. Xie squinted his eyes and looked at him: "What do you mean?"
Xie Dongxu: "My grandson has been in love with Miss Ye for a long time. After being heartbroken by Xie Nanjian, Miss Ye agreed to my grandson's one-sided wish."
For the first time, Old Master Xie also looked this previously insignificant illegitimate grandson squarely in the eye. He suddenly stroked his beard and smiled, "Okay, then go and marry the girl from the Ye family. As long as you have the ability to lead her to the bridal sedan."
Xie Dongxu bowed to Mr. Xie and turned to leave the lobby.
As he walked, he took off his coat, revealing the bright red groom's wedding suit underneath. The servant held a box containing the groom's jade crown that had been prepared long ago.
"Am I late?" Xie Dongxu was nervous and excited and couldn't help asking.
"What time is it?" Ye Xiaoli was also a little curious. "Xie Nanjian should have been dealt with by Xiaodie, right?"
Qing He held up the bronze mirror and let Ye Xiaoli inspect her makeup one last time. She smiled and replied, "Xiao Die is the most skilled, the most stable, and the most cautious among us. Xie Nanjian must be dead."
"That's good."
Ye Xiaoli touched the golden beads on her phoenix crown and couldn't help but think of the previous life of the original owner in the book.
The male protagonist in the book is Xie Nanjian, and the female protagonist is Bai Lian, one of Ye Xiaoli's maids.
The four maids around her, Bailian, Fendie, Qinghe and Lu'e, were all female secret guards specially assigned to her by the emperor.
As a result, Bai Lian was sent by Ye Xiaoli to monitor and protect Xie Nanjian. Over time, she actually fell in love with Xie Nanjian. Xie Nanjian was saved by Bai Lian several times and also fell in love with Bai Lian.
After the original owner married into the Xie family, Xie Nanjian's attitude towards her changed drastically. For fear of making Bai Lian sad, he never consummated the marriage with her.
Through investigation, she gradually learned about the affair between Bai Lian and Xie Nanjian.
So, the original owner generously allowed Xie Nanjian to take Bai Lian as his concubine, allowing the male and female protagonists to live happily together.
Then the original owner herself got together with Xie Dongxu, the eldest son of the Xie family who had always admired her.
She also gave birth to a child for Xie Dongxu.
With the Emperor's support, Xie Nanjian and the Xie family dared not speak out and could only accept it. Anyway, to Mr. Xie and Master Xie, they were all children of the Xie family, so they didn't care.
The only two people who were hurt were Mrs. Xie and Xie Nanjian.
Later, the original owner was angry enough with Ye Nanjian, so he sent him to die with Bai Lian.
Later, she sent Mrs. Xie, who was against her in every way, to reunite with Xie Nanjian. The original owner and the older bachelor Xie Dongxu were more like husband and wife in the mansion.
In the end, Concubine Xie's third prince failed to ascend the throne.
Because the emperor lived tenaciously for several more decades, Ye Xiaoli and Xiao Dongxu's youngest son grew up with the new emperor and is the same age.
This time when Ye Xiaoli came, she had no intention of marrying Xie Nanjian again. She had already discussed with Xie Dongxu that she would just be his legitimate wife.
When Ye Xiaoli first arrived, the original owner had just reached the age of 15 and was targeted by the Third Prince.
After learning from his grandfather that she had such an engagement, he planned to send a secret guard to find out what kind of person Xie Nanjian was.
He has become famous over the years and everyone praises him.
The original owner's original purpose was to find out whether he was worthy of his reputation or just all show and no substance.
In the previous life, the original owner chose Bai Lian. This time, Ye Xiaoli chose Fen Die to complete the task.
In addition, she also gave Pinkie an additional task.
That is to let Fendie deliberately seduce Xie Nanjian in Bailian's way. If he takes the bait, she will persuade him to elope with her on the wedding day.
So, after protecting Xie Nanjian for a period of time and saving his life several times, Fendie really won over Xie Nanjian and successfully persuaded him to elope today.
It's like deceiving a fool, and the goal is achieved very easily.
Moreover, when Fendie seduced Xie Nanjian, she used the name Bailian.
When Bai Lian was brought here by Ye Xiaoli, she was caught by Qinghe and the others and she called out the name "Xie Nanjian" in her sleep, so Ye Xiaoli gave her a cup of poisoned wine.
Fendie sneaked into the Xie family to find the corpse and buried it in the back garden of Xie Nanjian's yard as fertilizer.
Today, under Ye Xiaoli's order, Fendie eloped with Xie Nanjian. After leaving the city, she killed him and threw him off a cliff.
In this life, I will never see him alive, and I will never see his body after he dies.
