Today's wedding procession was just as lively as in the previous life, because the Murong family was usually charitable and generous, and many people came to join in the fun and share in the joy.

As Murong Xuewei watched this scene, a sense of happiness welled up in her heart, as if everything in her past life was just a dream.

Murong Xuewei handed one end of the red silk she had prepared to Murong Qingyu and the other end to Song Wanyi.

"I wish my brother and sister-in-law a long and happy marriage, many children, peace and prosperity, and a long and healthy life."

Halfway through her speech, Murong Xuewei's eyes unconsciously reddened.

Murong Qingyu looked at Murong Xuewei with affection, "You silly girl, it's your older brother getting married, not celebrating his birthday, why are you wishing him a long and healthy life?"

Murong Xuewei took a deep breath, suppressing the sadness in her heart, and looked up at Murong Qingyu with a charming smile, "I just want to give my best wishes to my brother and sister-in-law."

Urged on by the matchmaker, Murong Qingyu led Song Wanyi into the hall. Everything that followed went smoothly, and amidst the cheers of the crowd, the bride and groom were taken to their new home.

Just then, a maid rushed over anxiously and pulled Murong Xuewei aside. "Miss, Miss Lian's heart palpitations have suddenly flared up. You must go and see her quickly."

Murong Xuewei's lips curled into a cold smile. So you've finally come? Murong Lian, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it.

Earlier, when they were picking up the bride at the door, Murong Xuewei had asked Liuli to go to Murong Lian and repeatedly reminded her not to go to crowded places. Unexpectedly, Murong Lian still chose to betray the Murong family.

Since that's the case, then Murong Xuewei will no longer hold back.

"Lead the way."

Murong Xuewei followed her maid toward the small garden where Murong Lian was.

As I walked into the small garden, I saw Murong Lian lying on the table in the pavilion from afar.

Murong Xuewei calmly walked to Murong Lian's side, noticing that the maid who had led the way had disappeared.

Just as Murong Xuewei walked to Murong Lian's side, Murong Lian suddenly stood up and reached out to push Murong Xuewei into the pond.

Having experienced her previous life, how could Murong Xuewei be unprepared? She simply dodged to the side.

Murong Xuewei tripped Murong Lian with her foot, then went around behind Murong Lian and gave her a push.

With a splash, Murong Lian fell into the lotus pond.

Immediately afterward, Jiang Lingyun, who had been hiding in the shadows, jumped into the water and swam toward Murong Lian, who was struggling in the water.

Murong Xuewei sat calmly by the railing, watching the two put on their act.

She said that the reason Jiang Lingyun arrived so quickly in her previous life was because he had been hiding in the bushes nearby, waiting for her.

As soon as she is pushed down by Murong Lian, Jiang Lingyun will immediately jump down to save her.

Even if she questioned Murong Lian afterward about why she pushed her into the water, and Murong Lian said it was because of a heart attack and she panicked, she couldn't blame her.

However, in this life, the one who fell into the water is Murong Lian. I wonder what Jiang Lingyun's expression will be when he sees her.

Seeing that Jiang Lingyun had already swum to the shore with Murong Lian in his arms, Murong Xuewei had watched the show long enough.

Clapping her hands, Murong Xuewei pretended to be anxious and started shouting loudly.

"Help! Help! Sister Lian has fallen into the lotus pond!"

The meal service hadn't started yet, and the guests were enjoying the cool air in the pavilions or gardens outside.

Murong Xuewei's shout not only summoned the servants but also attracted many guests.

It's the height of summer now, and Murong Lian likes to wear layers of light gauze clothing.

These kinds of clothes look especially beautiful when layered, making one look like a fairy from afar. Moreover, the Murong family's gauze is always the best, so even with so many layers, it won't be too stuffy in the summer.

However, this type of clothing has a fatal flaw: it cannot get wet. Once it gets wet, even multiple layers will become transparent.

Murong Xuewei pretended to be anxious and ran to Murong Lian's side, "Sister Lian, are you alright!"

Jiang Lingyun looked at Murong Xuewei in confusion, "Sister Lian? Isn't she Murong Xuewei? Why are you calling her Sister Lian?"

"This young master speaks very strangely. Why are you so sure that the one who fell into the water was Murong Xuewei?"

Jiang Lingyun took a breath and quickly pulled away Murong Lian's hand that was covering her face, only then could she see Murong Lian's face clearly.

"No, no, I've made a mistake."

It's the hottest time of the year, and women usually dress lightly. Murong Lian especially loves all kinds of gauze clothes, and now that her clothes are wet, her slender figure is on full display.

Many onlookers were discussing it.

Bystander A: "This third young lady of the Murong family usually looks sickly, but I didn't expect her to have such a good figure."

Bystander B: "I wonder who that man is, that he has such good fortune to have saved the Third Miss."

Seeing that most of the onlookers had seen Murong Lian's face clearly, Murong Xuewei called a servant to bring a cloak to cover Murong Lian and took her from Jiang Lingyun's arms.

"Thank you so much for saving my sister today, young master. If it weren't for your help, my life would be in grave danger."

"Little sister? Wait... You are Murong Xuewei." Jiang Lingyun excitedly stood up and grabbed Murong Xuewei.

Murong Xuewei reacted quickly, taking a step back to dodge Jiang Lingyun's hand.

"No, no, I've made a mistake." Jiang Lingyun kept saying that something was wrong, shaking his head as if he were going crazy and reaching out to lift the cloak covering Murong Lian's face.

"stop."

At Murong Xuewei's command, a large number of guards immediately surrounded Jiang Lingyun.

"Where are you headed, young master?"

Jiang Lingyun felt a surge of anger as she looked at the guards surrounding her. "How dare you stop me? Do you know who I am?"

Murong Xuewei sneered at Jiang Lingyun, "I can't control who you are, but you've just let my Murong family's young lady have her body exposed like this. You have to give me an explanation, don't you?"

A gust of wind cleared Jiang Lingyun's mind considerably. "An explanation? I kindly saved your young lady's life. Shouldn't your Murong family be thanking me? How dare you ask me for an explanation?"

Murong Xuewei watched Jiang Lingyun respond fluently and thought to herself that he was indeed the person Xiao Wanning valued most; his mind worked very quickly.

"Young master saved my sister's life, and my Murong family will naturally repay you handsomely. However, now that you have seen my sister's body, if you do not want to take responsibility, I'm afraid that after my sister wakes up, she will have no choice but to die to prove her innocence." After saying this, Murong Xuewei pretended to be sad and raised her hand to wipe away non-existent tears.

Many people present were moved by what they heard; it was such a pity that such a beautiful girl would die like this.

Many people spoke up in support of Murong Lian.

"That's right! Young master, you've seen the Third Miss's body. If you don't take responsibility, aren't you just driving her to her death?"

"That's right! The Murong family is a wealthy merchant family, after all. If you marry the Third Miss, the Murong family will not treat you badly."

Murong Xuewei sneered inwardly, "Murong Lian, when you used your innocence to manipulate me in your previous life, did you ever imagine this day would come?"

Murong Xuewei lowered her hands and looked at Jiang Lingyun, "Young Master, is it possible for your family to arrange a marriage?"

Jiang Lingyun didn't know why Murong Xuewei asked this question, but she still answered honestly, "Never."

"Since you are unmarried, and my younger sister is unmarried, why are you unwilling to marry her? Do you look down on my Murong family and think that my Murong family is just a merchant family and not good enough for you?"

As soon as he said this, everyone present stared at Jiang Lingyun with predatory eyes. If he dared to agree, he would be drowned in their spittle.

After all, most of the people who came to offer their congratulations today were business people.

Jiang Lingyun knew this too, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "No, it's that I am not worthy of Miss Murong."

Murong Xuewei smiled and said, "That's good. My little sister isn't someone who cares about fame. As long as you treat her sincerely, she will definitely treat you sincerely in return."

“But such an important matter should be arranged by a matchmaker and a formal betrothal…” Jiang Lingyun tried to decline, but was interrupted by Murong Xuewei.

"No problem, no problem. You can keep him in your residence for now. I will send someone to invite your mother and elders over. Then the marriage can proceed directly."

After saying this, he had the unconscious Murong Lian taken away, and before Jiang Lingyun could react, he had the servants take Jiang Lingyun to the guest room.

She bowed to the onlookers and said, "What happened just now was an accident. Fortunately, this young master appeared and saved my sister. Please move to the front hall for a meal. Later, Xuewei will have her servants bring some rare fruits from the Western Regions for everyone to enjoy."

Most of the guests present were shrewd business people, and when they heard Murong Xuewei say this, they all knew that Murong Xuewei was trying to shut them up.

"Miss Murong, you're too kind. We were just concerned. Since Miss Lian is alright, let's go back and have our meal!"

"Yes, yes, let's go eat!"

Murong Lian was still unconscious when Murong Xuewei arranged the marriage, which also put an end to Xiao Wan Ning's idea of ​​forcing Jiang Lingyun onto her.

Before long, most of the guests had left, and Murong Xuewei was also preparing to depart when a round of applause came from the tree behind her.
