So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

Lian Qiao gently pushed open the door and entered, saying in a clear voice, "Miss, the wedding procession is almost here. This servant will help you with your dressing and grooming."

After absorbing the memories, Cang Lan slowly opened her eyes, a clear light flashing in them. She quickly regained her senses and replied, "Okay."

After washing up, Lian Qiao quickly picked up the exquisite wedding dress and carefully helped Cang Lan put it on, praising as she did so: "Miss, look at this wedding dress, it's so beautiful! The embroidery and the fabric are unparalleled in the entire capital. You look like a fairy descending to earth in it."

Canglan looked at herself in the mirror, dressed in her wedding gown, and thought to herself, "I'm beautiful, but soon I'll be stuck with a beautiful flower in cow dung."

After she finished dressing, she said, "Lianqiao, don't do your hair yet. I'm a little hungry. Go and bring me some food."

Although Lian Qiao was somewhat puzzled, she thought it was still early and replied, "Yes, Miss."

Cang Lan also took the opportunity to go to the place where the dowry was specially stored. At a glance, she understood why the Fang family could live a carefree life. The original owner was indeed the daughter of a royal merchant. Her dowry was extremely generous, and a large courtyard was specially set aside to store it.

The dowry items were neatly arranged, including chests of silks and satins, gold and jewelry, land deeds, and various rare antiques, all demonstrating the wealth of the Yun family.

Canglan dismissed the servants guarding her dowry, and put all the precious dowry that her parents had prepared for her into her own space. She also put a pile of stones back into the box.

Then, Canglan walked towards the residence of Yun's parents. She raised her hand and knocked on the door, calling softly, "Father, Mother, it's me."

Mr. Yun initially didn't want to pay attention, but Mrs. Yun couldn't resist her daughter's affection and persuaded her, "Master, our daughter is having a joyous occasion today. Since she's here, let her in."

Yun's father stroked his beard and gave a soft hum, which was taken as tacit approval.

As Canglan entered the room, she saw Yun's father looking angry and Yun's mother looking worried. She understood why the original owner was so "naive and innocent"—it was because her parents truly loved her. From childhood to adulthood, she never had to deal with any dirty or disgusting things; she was protected too well.

She then curtsied and said, “Father and Mother, I know you don’t want me to marry into the Fang family, but I was rescued by Fang Yuhong that day while we were out enjoying the spring. If I don’t marry him, gossip will spread throughout the capital, and my reputation will be ruined.”

Upon hearing this, Yunmu's eyes instantly reddened, and she cried out, "Who on earth pushed you into the river for no reason? And you just happened to be rescued by the Fang family."

Yun's father couldn't keep up the act any longer and chimed in, "The Fang family is nothing but a fallen household now. Who knows how they'll treat you if you marry into that family? Sigh!"

Canglan remained calm and continued, "Father, Mother, I know the Fang family's current situation. I've come today to ask you to promise that the fertile fields and shops I brought with me will still be managed by you."

And our Yun family's shops will absolutely not allow anyone from the Fang family who is related to us to enter.

You must also give the order that no expense from the Fang family's shops be allowed to be charged to me. Anyone who dares to incur debts in my name will be handed over to the authorities!

Yun's father's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Daughter, what has happened? It seems like you've finally figured things out."

Yunmu playfully scolded, "What kind of father talks to his daughter like that?" Then, she added, "My dear Qingqing, it's not too late for you to come to your senses!"

"Father, Mother, don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Although I've married into the Fang family, I will always be a young lady of the Yun family, and I will never allow anyone to take advantage of the Yun family in my name."

Upon hearing this, Yunmu wiped away her tears and smiled with relief.

Father Yun nodded solemnly and said, “Daughter, rest assured. Since you have spoken, I will naturally not allow the Fang family to seize a single penny of our Yun family’s wealth. If they marry you for money, then we’ll see if they have the ability to spend our Yun family’s money.”

Immediately afterward, Canglan bid farewell to her parents and told them to continue resting, saying that she was just getting married and it wasn't like she was never coming back. Her parents didn't refuse.

When Canglan returned to her room, Lianqiao quickly helped her with her makeup. Soon after, the wedding procession arrived, and Canglan put on her red veil and got into the sedan chair.

The servants carried the dowry out, and one of them muttered to himself, "Don't you think these boxes are much heavier? Or did I skip breakfast? Why are they so heavy?"

"Yes, that's true, but it also shows how much our Master Yun dotes on Miss. Our Miss is the only daughter of a royal merchant in the capital, so her dowry is naturally incredibly wealthy, and it's only natural that it's a bit heavy."

As the wedding procession played music all the way, Canglan's sedan chair came to a steady stop in front of the Fang residence.

But as soon as Canglan stepped into the Fang family courtyard, before anyone could react, Fang Yuhong's deputy rode up on a tall horse.

He leaped off his horse and knelt down with a thud, saying in a sorrowful voice, "Madam, General Fang, in order to return as soon as possible to marry his bride and not miss this auspicious time, disregarded his serious injuries and traveled day and night. But who would have thought that his injuries would deteriorate so rapidly, and he passed away halfway there!" After saying this, he prostrated himself on the ground and wept bitterly.

Madam Fang stood at the entrance of the hall. Upon hearing these words, she swayed slightly, and a look of utter grief instantly appeared on her face.

She first stole a glance at Cang Qiong, who had already reached the entrance of the hall, then rolled her eyes and pretended to faint. The maids beside her immediately panicked and rushed forward to help her up.

Seeing this, Fang Yuwan wanted to give Cang Lan a hard time. She rushed forward and shouted, "Stop it all! Stop all this joy!"

Turning to the servants in the mansion, he shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Quickly replace all these red silks and red lanterns with white ones, and be fast!" He completely disregarded Cang Lan.

Cang Lan sneered and unhesitatingly ripped off the veil. "Who dares? I am Fang Yuhong's wife now. I want to see him alive or dead. To make a judgment based solely on his words is far too hasty."

Then, she raised her voice and instructed Lian Qiao, "Let them continue playing the music. This joyous occasion cannot be stopped!"

Upon receiving the order, Lianqiao immediately turned to relay it. In an instant, the joyful music that had been suspended resumed.

Fang Yuwan could hardly believe her ears. Her eyes widened in anger as she pointed at Cang Lan and cursed, "You bitch! If my brother hadn't come back to see you, how could his condition have worsened?"

His body is barely cold, yet you only think of yourself and don't care about him at all.

You're a jinx! You're the one who killed my brother!

As Cang Lan listened to these vicious curses, she thought of the original owner's sister-in-law in her memories. On the very first day the original owner married into the family, she gave the original owner a hard time. Even the news that the original owner was a jinx to her husbands was spread by Fang Yuwan today.

A cold glint flashed in Cang Lan's eyes. Before Fang Yuwan could finish speaking, she dodged and slapped Fang Yuwan hard across the face twice.

Two red handprints immediately appeared on her face, and she was knocked to the ground.

The maids beside her were stunned and it took them a while to react before they hurriedly helped Fang Yuwan up from the ground.

Fang Yuwan covered her face and stood up, her eyes filled with shock and anger. She never expected that Yun Muqing would hit her nominal sister-in-law on the very first day of their marriage.
