Wine-scented Beauty

Chapter 98: Haven't you made enough of a scene?

The city was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and firecrackers were being set off for free. As soon as I entered the city, I saw a huge crowd of people running frantically in one direction like zombies.

Without even thinking, it was obvious that it was a happy occasion for the Ji family. She and Lu Yu delivered the wine, and then she changed her clothes and went with him.

The main entrance was completely blocked, and it took the two of them a lot of effort to squeeze in. Once the surroundings were open, she immediately tidied her clothes and adjusted the hairpins in her hair.

Lu Yu took the invitation and went over. After she finished preparing, she hurriedly followed him into the gate of the Ji residence.

This should be Ji Meiqing's first time here, but upon arriving, she felt a strange sense of familiarity. She didn't dare to get too absorbed in the sights, quickly glancing away before following Lu Yu into the flower hall.

The Ji family took a concubine, and quite a few things were involved. It seems that Xiao Cui's methods are quite good. She pretended to drink tea while secretly observing these people.

The room was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, making it look much more festive. The Ji family was certainly wealthy and powerful; they were making such a grand spectacle of welcoming just a concubine. The two tables at the very front were made by members of the Ji family; this table was for outsiders.

The suona was playing outside. Feeling bored, Ji Meiqing got up to go and take a look.

"Wait a minute." Lu Yu suddenly called out to her. He knew what Ji Meiqing was thinking, but he neither pointed it out nor said anything. He simply said, "Be careful."

"Don't worry, I'm fine." She said confidently, then slipped away. The place was quite large, and apart from a few guards preventing entry, it was pretty good.

Like a novice visiting a grand garden, she curiously looked at everything along the way, and when she had seen enough, she followed the people to the front hall.

Tian Cuiwei had already been brought over, carried in a sedan chair through a side gate. It's unclear what kind of spell she used, but the Ji family welcomed her with an eight-bearer sedan chair, the proper ceremony for a principal wife.

She was helped over by the matchmaker, and Ji Tianzhuo also came out wearing a bright red wedding robe, looking very wealthy. The two were a perfect match.

Ji Meiqing squatted in the corner, watching the two slowly walk into the house. The bright red carpet looked magnificent and elegant, and the matchmaker smiled and offered her blessings.

The wedding ceremony was down to the final step of escorting the bride to the bridal chamber when a commotion broke out in the crowd. A beautiful girl in red pushed her way out of the crowd, angrily walked up to Ji Tianzhuo, and slapped him.

Everyone was stunned; they hadn't expected such a plot twist.

"You're despicable! Have you forgotten our promise? You said you'd buy my freedom, you said you'd take responsibility for me, but where's the responsibility? What happened to everything you said? It was all just empty talk!"

Her angry questioning left Ji Tianzhu dumbfounded; apart from Ji Meiqing, no one else in the room knew what was going on.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The girl ripped off Xiao Cui's veil and, her eyes red with anger, said, "You bitch! If it weren't for you, how could Tian Zhuo have left me! It's all your fault! You not only stole my lover but also killed my child! How could you be so cruel!"

Killing a child... The expressions in the room became subtle.

I got so caught up in the show that I completely forgot to call someone over.

"You two adulterers, you deserve to die a horrible death! My child was taken away by this slut, and you still want to marry her!"

The entire hall seemed to be her stage, where she gave a vivid and engaging performance.

Halfway through the event, someone finally came over. The person skillfully dodged all the groping hands, and still had a sullen expression on their face.

"You clearly said you would marry me, but why did you marry someone else after I got pregnant with your son? Someone else who killed our child! You believed her just because she looked so pitiful! But do you know that this Sister Tian Cuiwei was abandoned by her family and then taken in by someone? Do you know what happened after that?" She talked for a long time until her voice was almost hoarse, and in desperation, she grabbed a cup and drank it down.

After finishing his drink, he continued, "Later, that family started a small business, and this woman almost made them lose everything. A woman like that is practically a jinx, so why did you still marry her? Tell me, what's wrong with me compared to her? Am I not prettier than her? I even had my first time with you. Since then, I've only sold smiles, not my body. Everything I've done is because of you, but..."

Ji Meiqing was stunned in the corner; this was probably... the level of an award-winning actress.

Ji Tianzhuo was also stunned, staring blankly at the girl in front of him. She was prettier than Xiao Cui and had a good figure. It's just that she had some mental issues.

The girl walked up to the people again and said loudly, "This is not the first or second time. They caused me to lose my child, and they have done evil deeds, ruining other people's lives and making a mess of their lives."

Ji Meiqing spoke frankly, then walked over. She was dressed in coarse linen clothes, and wore an ordinary wooden hairpin in her hair.

Her appearance stunned both Ji Tianzhuo and Tian Cuiwei. She walked over and said sternly, "Long time no see."

Her attire, like that of a young farm wife just returning from the fields, was completely out of place with the surroundings.

When Old Master Ji found out, he quickly came over. Upon seeing Ji Meiqing, he immediately turned pale and said, "You wretched child, what are you doing here!"

“I…” Ji Meiqing raised her chin and looked at him arrogantly, saying, “I came here to attend a wedding, and you even gave me an invitation. Do you want to see it? You want to see it? I’m not giving it to you.”

Finally, she smiled smugly as she approached the other person, saying, "Last time you came back, you complained about how your family treated you. Think about how you treated me. You disrupted my work, and it almost fell through because of your arrival. You've got some nerve, adding water when salt wasn't enough."

"I..." She opened her big, innocent eyes, but even so, she was still pitiful enough to evoke sympathy from some people.

Now, the head of the Ji family has arrived in front of her in a menacing manner.

"Ji Meiqing, haven't you caused enough trouble yet! Our Ji family has already kicked you out!"

Ji Meiqing was prepared. She took the invitation out of her pocket and threw it in his face, saying, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly what's written on this."

Old Master Ji looked closely, his face turning pale and then flushed, as if he was furious.
