The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

He didn't understand where this panic came from; he had never felt such panic even when he knew he was about to forget his beloved.

That word "divorce" ignited the panic in his heart. He stared at Jian Yue for a long time.

Jian Yue remained silent. In her opinion, this statement was truly putting Bai Jianan in a difficult position. At this moment, he was behaving like a spoiled young master, a spoiled brat who would never compromise on anything, making it impossible for him to agree to anything.

But Bai Jianan couldn't find any words to refute it.

Her heart suddenly tightened, and she saw Bai Jianan looking at her and saying, "My heart for Yueyue is as clear as day, but I will absolutely not agree to divorce her. Why should I betray my wife? That is clearly a flawed logic. Brother-in-law, today is the wedding of your sister and me. Do you really want to ruin this meeting?"

As Bai Jianan said these words, his gaze towards Jian Yue was: "Believe me, I swear, you are the only one in my life, Bai Jianan. If I betray Shangguan Jian Yue, I will surely suffer the wrath of lightning. Shangguan Jian Yue may divorce me and remarry."

His eyes were resolute, yet he spoke of breaking ties with the General's Mansion. Jian Yue's lips curled up slightly, and she understood the meaning in his eyes.

She parted her lips slightly and whispered to him, "If you will not abandon me, I will never leave you."

Bai Jianan's eyes crinkled into a smile, and he looked at the displeased Shangguan Hanque and said, "Alright, I'm not an unreasonable person. I'll abide by your Shangguan family's stinking rules this time. Anyway, with my wife's beauty, even if I wanted to go out and mess around, I'd have to compete with her, right? You can rest assured."

Shangguan Hanque was not satisfied and was about to say something more, but Jian Yue tugged at his collar. He frowned and heard Jian Yue say, "Don't make things difficult for Grandfather."

Shangguan Hanque then glanced coldly at Bai Jianan and said coldly, "Step forward."

Bai Jianan immediately scurried forward, bent down and took Jian Yue from Shangguan Hanque's back, then smiled and turned back to the person on his back, saying, "Alright, my wife, I'll take you home."

I've finally fulfilled this promise and brought you home. Are you happy?

Jian Yue smiled at him, and through the thin veil, one could see the deep smile in her eyes. Bai Jianan felt relieved and carried Jian Yue towards the door.

Jian Yue leaned against Bai Jianan's back, two streams of tears flowing from her eyes.

Yes, you took me home, but I'm sorry, I can't go home with you, Bai Jianan. You must take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back. You must wait for me, otherwise, I will make sure you suffer in heaven and on earth.

The moment she was put into the sedan chair, seeing Bai Jianan's eyes full of doting joy, Jian Yue almost wanted to run away. She suppressed the sadness in her heart and forced herself to smile like a fool, watching Bai Jianan make no mistakes, watching him get on the tall horse, watching him turn around and smile at her.

The throbbing pain in her chest had become numb. Now, she could only stare blankly at the sedan curtain, watching it sway back and forth, occasionally revealing glimpses of the outside scenery. When she saw Bai Jianan through the gaps, the sadness in her heart would intensify.

The apple in her hand fell to the ground, and she replaced it with the jade pendant that she never parted from, holding it tightly as if she were holding the whole world.

"The bride is crossing the bridge. May everything go smoothly and may she have a happy and peaceful life."

The loud shouts outside drowned out the blaring horns, and the wedding procession headed towards the bridge. At that moment, Jian Yue tensed up and suddenly looked up.

boom!

Bai Jianan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his eyes instantly filled with bloodshot spiderwebs. He looked up abruptly, his face full of anger as he stared at the red-clad woman who had suddenly appeared before him.

Herri Red.

Heli Hong appeared on the bridge dressed as a bride, holding her usual longbow in her hand. She was quietly looking at Bai Jianan, and the emotions in her eyes were no less than those Bai Jianan felt when he looked at Jian Yue.

"Herihong, don't force me to take action."

Heli Hong smiled, the sorrow in her eyes was obvious. She looked past Bai Jianan at the bright red bridal sedan chair and said softly, "I'm not here to cause trouble, but to save your life."

Ha, you're so kind? Bai Jianan looked at her coldly, his distrust obvious in his eyes. Seeing this, Heli Hong stepped forward and said, "You're allowed to be ruthless, but I'm not allowed to be deeply in love? Master, is your heart made of stone?"

As she spoke, she raised her hand, and several people appeared around her, heading straight towards the bridge. Immediately, the sound of weapons clashing together came from under the bridge, followed by a faint smell of blood.

Heri Hong turned around indifferently and looked down at the bridge, saying, "Someone made a move, and I just helped you get rid of them. Why do you always suspect me?"

"If you step aside, I will not suspect you."

"Do you think that's possible?"

As Heli Hong spoke, he looked at Jian Yue's sedan chair and shouted, "Shangguan Jian Yue, do you know why he married you?"

The sedan chair remained silent. Heli Hong continued, "The Shangguan family is famous throughout the world for their Ironclad Divine Weapon. Now that the divine weapon is gone, do you know how many people are unwilling to accept this?"

Jian Yue smiled through the curtain and said, "Thank you for reminding me, but this has nothing to do with me. Today is my wedding day, so please be kind enough to let me pass."

Hearing this, Helihong bit her lip and said, "It's normal that you don't care, after all, this is just a fabrication and can't be taken seriously. But if your husband had an affair with me recently, would you still be indifferent?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Yue's sedan curtain was suddenly flung open. Bai Jianan turned around and saw Jian Yue shouting with disbelief, "Enough with the nonsense! Do you think everyone is as promiscuous as you?"

Helihong smiled and continued, "Whether you believe it or not is your business, but only your husband knows whether it was done or not. Why don't you ask him?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Yue looked at Bai Jianan, who wanted to explain, but suddenly opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time.

No.

Seeing Bai Jianan's wide eyes but still not saying a word, Jian Yue's heart sank little by little. Heli Hong saw this and a smug look flashed in his eyes. He tightened his grip on the longbow in his hand, and Bai Jianan immediately knelt on the ground in pain. Jian Yue's hand suddenly clenched into a fist and stared intently at Bai Jianan.

"You really did it?"

Bai Jianan shook his head, wanting to say no, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and no matter how much he struggled, it was to no avail.

Seeing this, Jian Yue suddenly smiled, but her eyes were filled with despair and blankness. She murmured, "Just now you promised not to let me suffer, that you would pamper me and love me, but this happened before we even crossed the bridge."

Bai Jianan, you say you can see the sun and moon for me, but you haven't seen them at all! Tell me, I'm listening to your explanation.

Upon hearing this, Heli Hong raised an eyebrow: "How does he explain this? Does he explain that he spent all those days he was missing with me? Does he explain that he wanted to form a marriage alliance with my Miao region, but couldn't say it because of your presence?"

Shangguan Jianyue, do you think that the mere Shangguan family can bring down the heir of Qingyan Marquis? Impossible. His future is limitless, and you will not be his end. So, if you truly love him, do not stop him. If you agree to this today, I will make way and allow you to continue your wedding ceremony.

I won't mind your presence. After all, how many people who achieve great things live in seclusion, doting on only one person?

"Ha, what a joke. You don't mind? Do you think I would mind as much as you do? I, Shangguan Jianyue, am a member of the Shangguan family. My ambitions are higher than the sky, but unfortunately, my fate is as thin as paper. I will never share a husband with another person."

Today, I, Shangguan Jianyue, will fulfill the promise I made to Bai Jianan, the heir of the Marquis of Qingyan, at the General's Mansion. From this day forward, I, Shangguan Jianyue, will have no further connection with the heir of the Marquis of Qingyan. Guards, sink all the betrothal gifts and dowry into the pond!

These words shocked the onlookers. As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Baicheng led the group of people carrying the dowry and betrothal gifts toward the bridge and threw the large boxes still tied with wedding ribbons into the lake one by one, making a loud banging sound.

Bai Jianan's eyes widened as he squatted on the spot, his face ashen. He looked at Jian Yue, hoping she would give him another glance so he could see the answer in his eyes.

However, from the moment Jian Yue's dowry was thrown into the pond, she never looked at him again. Instead, she turned her back to him, pulled off the phoenix hairpin and the phoenix crown, threw them on the ground, and said coldly, "I'm divorcing you today. From now on, Bai Jianan and I will have no relationship. One of us will marry another, and the other will marry another. We will have nothing to do with each other."

No, no, Yueyue, my Yueyue, I'm not like that, how can you not believe me?

He felt an indescribable disappointment and sadness, but there was nothing he could do. The muscles beneath his clothes were bulging due to the Gu worms, and the veins on them seemed to be about to leave his body, constantly expanding. Even so, he still couldn't open his mouth and say that none of this was true.

Heri Hong was enraged by Jian Yue's suggestion of divorcing him. She gripped her longbow tightly and roared, "How dare you humiliate him like this! I'll kill you!"

Jian Yue sneered, not turning her head, and said, "If you could kill me, would you have waited until now? Girl, I, Shangguan Jian Yue, don't eat other people's leftovers. Divorcing your husband is better for both of us. Don't be hypocritical after getting the benefit. Otherwise, I, Shangguan Jian Yue, am not someone to be trifled with. I'm waiting for you to come looking for trouble."

Jian Yue suppressed the grief in her eyes and walked step by step back the way she came. But after taking less than two steps, she saw the crowd around her suddenly running away in panic.

"Ah, there are bugs, scorpions, centipedes, all poisonous! Run!"

Immediately, everyone scattered and fled. Jian Yue frowned and stood still, only to see countless insects crawling towards her in an orderly fashion, as if holding a grand meeting.

Seeing this, Zhang Baicheng quickly moved to her side, frowned, and used his sword to pry open and kill the approaching poisonous insects one by one.

But there were too many poisonous insects, and Zhang Baicheng was overwhelmed. He couldn't help but say, "Young Miss."
