The seven emotions and six desires are all my nourishment

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's not even a country of etiquette."

"For a great country like China, they couldn't even afford a carriage for the bride!"

"What? Are you planning to just walk to Northern Qi? Under the pretext of a marriage alliance, are you planning to spend a few years on the road, letting your bride grow up?"

"Oh, what a big calculation."

The Third Prince whipped his palm with the horsewhip, sneered at the broken carriage, and spoke full of humiliation towards Yuan Zhou.

"Hahahaha, Yuan Zhou is such a coward. When he can't win, he resorts to such despicable methods. How shameful!"

"Haha, coward!"

Faced with the humiliation and ridicule of the cavalry, Liu Ruyan acted as if it had nothing to do with her. She just lowered her head, brushed off the dust on her body, and spat out the dry biscuit crumbs in her mouth.

But the wedding procession sent by Yuan Zhou was at least to show sincerity or for appearances, and there were about a hundred people coming.

Faced with such humiliation, no one stood up.

However, the matchmaker who was brushing the dust off Liu Ruyan took advantage of the situation and whispered in her ear, "My dear lady, you represent the face of our Yuan Zhou. Now is the time for you to show your strength!"

As she spoke, she used her strong hands to pinch the soft flesh on Liu Ruyan's waist.

Liu Ruyan's bad luck hadn't yet dissipated. She was pinched by her husband, and she shuddered in pain. Tears flowed uncontrollably, and she cursed in her heart, "Damn it, which country's spy is this? Do you think I'm having such a good time?"

Liu Ruyan raised her head with tears in her eyes, her face dirty, and approached the Third Prince's horse. The soldiers around the Third Prince immediately drew their swords, but the Third Prince raised his hand to stop them. "What do you think, young lady?"

Unexpectedly, when Liu Ruyan saw him lower his head to ask, her tears slid down, leaving two white grooves on her face. This made her look more like a beggar than a refugee, not a marriage. The refugee hugged the Third Prince's legs and asked, "Are you my husband?"

The Third Prince's brow furrowed instantly, but Liu Ruyan began to whimper and complain, "Husband, she pinched my waist and it hurts so much. She even asked me to teach you a lesson, whimpering."

The matchmaker immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

But she had just kowtowed twice when a soldier chopped off her head.

The head rolled like a ball right at Liu Ruyan's feet.

The wedding procession knelt down spinelessly and started beating chaff.

Liu Ruyan knew that this was a deterrent and a warning.

"Ah~ Husband, I'm so scared, wuwuwu." Liu Ruyan hugged his legs tighter.

By the way, she wiped the dust off her face on his trouser leg.

[The young Third Prince is like the blazing sun, quite impressive. It's a pity I'm still young. What a pity.]

"Are women from the Yuan and Zhou dynasties so shameless that they would consider any man they see to be their husband?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is Yuan Zhou, who inherited poetry and literature from his family? It really opens my eyes!" The Third Prince used a whip to lift Liu Ruyan's chin, which was too small to see her face, and spoke humiliating words again.

Everyone laughed, but the Third Prince became a little impatient and said, "Let go!"

"Husband?" Liu Ruyan looked up timidly.

"I am not your husband, girl, please respect yourself!" The Third Prince pulled the reins of his horse and walked a few steps to the side. Looking at the group of wimps kneeling on the ground, he felt a little bored.

He would not have taken the job if he knew that the people of Yuan Zhou were such cowards. Now it seems like he, a great general, is bullying a little girl. How boring.

Liu Ruyan did not continue to pester him, but just grabbed his fingers and acted pitifully, standing there in shame and feeling helpless.

Seeing her age, the Third Prince felt even more angry with Yuan Zhou. Didn't Yuan Zhou have anyone else? He actually brought a little girl here. Judging from the attitudes of the servants around him, it can be seen that this girl is not valued at all.

He frowned again and scolded coldly, "What are you standing there for? Do you all want to die?"

The red team sounded the horn again, but the carriage was gone. Could it be that Liu Ruyan really had to walk there?

As a last resort, Yuan Zhou and his men vacated a dusty carriage for servants, helped Liu Ruyan sit down, and continued their journey.

Liu Ruyan laid in the carriage with no manners and rolled her eyes. "Look, that carriage full of gifts is more important than me!"

Liu Ruyan turned over and prepared to fall asleep, but unfortunately a fly flew into her nostrils.

Liu Ruyan: “…”

The furious Liu Ruyan rolled over and sat up, squeezing out five large balls of bad luck to share with Yuan Zhou, while Liu's father kept one ball for himself!

This time, nothing unexpected happened after she lay down, and Liu Ruyan fell into a deep sleep.

Anyway, she doesn't have any confidants, and those people must have slipped away too quickly in their previous life. Anyway, she won't invite them to come up and sit.

Then they would not care whether they were tired or whether they could keep up with the speed of the Third Prince’s wedding procession. They would just keep walking.

Without worrying about anything, Liu Ruyan slept very well.

……

Inside the post station, the Third Prince also learned about this woman's upbringing and concluded, "She's unimportant, unloved, a mere pawn."

However, she learned that her ancestral home had burned down less than ten miles outside the city, and her father had inexplicably lost a tooth and sprained his ankle.

Father Liu had only been home for one day to recuperate from his injuries. He almost choked to death on a fruit while eating, and almost choked to death on tea while drinking. He would fall flat on his face when walking, and he lay at home cursing his unlucky daughter.

The Third Prince didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but he still redefined Liu Ruyan as "very unpopular, no threat, just someone who wants to die."
