Chapter 389 White Lotus Female Supporting Character VS Foolish Prince (3)
Shen Zhaowan looked miserable and knelt down.
"Father, I am willing to share your worries. I don't want our family to suffer the wrath of His Majesty."
"My sister has escaped, but my daughter has relatives here. I don't want to go. I can get married tomorrow."
Just after Shen Zhaowan finished saying two sentences, Madam Yu lost her balance and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Shen's father reacted in time and supported her.
He looked visibly shocked, and the suppressed anger in his heart was evident.
But before he could continue, Shen Zhaowan spoke again.
"Father, the imperial edict that came a few days ago did not actually specify who it was, so the method my daughter suggested could save our family from the crisis."
Having said that, everyone knows that Shen Mingyu is now nineteen years old, one year younger than the prince. Her marriage has been delayed until now, which is both a happy and sad thing.
Most girls of her age in the capital had already been promised to someone else, but she had been kept by the lady until now.
Shen Zhaowan had just passed her coming-of-age ceremony, so there was no reason for her younger sister to get married before her elder sister.
It’s not nice to tell anyone about it, but there’s nothing we can do now.
Madam Yu: "Wanwan, what are you talking about? We can naturally find a way to deal with these things. Why should we gamble with your happiness?"
Father Shen was also very heartbroken. He had been thinking about it for so long, and he would report them even if he had to be demoted. He just hoped that His Majesty would forgive others because of his sincere loyalty. If his life was to be taken, just take his!
"Wanwan, you don't need to do this! Daddy will find a way."
Shen Zhaowan's eyes were blurred with tears, but her delicate body still stood tall and straight, "Daddy, I don't want to lose you either."
"Marrying a prince isn't entirely a bad thing."
Shen Zhaowan listened to Xiaobai's reminder and continued to persuade him with passion.
"Father, I have never seen the prince very often, but I have heard that he is pure and innocent, and not a treacherous or evil person. My daughter... my daughter may be able to live a peaceful and smooth life.
Besides, he is a member of the royal family. How can he bully me? Besides, I still have my father to make decisions for me and be my backer. I still have my mother and brother. I am not afraid."
Madam Yu's chest ached from anger, but there was nothing she could do.
God knows she had already prepared the portraits of the men in the capital and had been worrying about this matter.
She just wanted to help her daughter choose a suitable husband and not let her suffer any injustice.
I can live a stable life in my husband's house.
Now this situation...
"Master, Wanwan is too sensible. How can we believe what she says? I still want to keep Wanwan for a few more years."
Madam Yu was not howling for nothing; she was laughing and shedding tears, her voice was so mournful that Father Shen felt as if a knife was cutting his heart again.
Now that I've listened to it, this is actually the safest way.
When the imperial edict came down, everyone naturally assumed it was Shen Mingyu, but now...
Shen Zhaowan knew that they had already started to savor it.
Father Shen's heart also gradually wavered.
After a long time, Shen Zhaowan was helped up and they calmed down.
Madam Yu couldn't help crying when she looked at Shen Zhaowan.
This was simply pushing her into the fire.
Shen Zhaowan continued, "With a father, mother, and brother, how can a daughter be bullied? A daughter also wants to share the worries for father! I don't want us to be separated by something."
Finally, there was a long silence in the front hall.
Father Shen took a deep breath, finally nodded, and then went into the study alone.
Madam Yu accompanied Shen Zhaowan back to the courtyard.
The person who had just eavesdropped also left quietly.
As for who it was, Shen Zhaowan guessed that it was the man of that foolish Third Prince ─ Jiang Chengxuan.
……
Sitting on the pear wood round stool, Madam Yu also held her hand tightly.
"Wanwan, why are you doing this?"
"Mother, do you really want to see father take the blame alone? What if father doesn't come back?"
"...I have saved money and a shop, so I can naturally support you and Xu'an."
Shen Zhaowan curled the corners of her mouth, trying to keep calm and not be too sad around her.
"If daddy heard what mother said, he would definitely be angry." Shen Zhaowan said half-jokingly.
"What if he's angry? If he leaves the house, I'll still have to worry about other things."
"I'm so sorry for you now. You can definitely find a better marriage!"
She stroked Shen Zhaowan's hair, her eyes full of love.
Thinking of this, Madam Yu was sad for a long time. Shen Zhaowan comforted her patiently. Finally, Madam Yu calmed down and had to accept the result.
"You are getting married tomorrow, and there are still many things to prepare. Mother must send you off in a grand manner."
Having said this, she left.
Yes, there is a lot to prepare in just one day and one night, all of which are filled with their love.
Shen Zhaowan looked at the maids who came over to her mother after she left, each of them had red eyes from crying.
"Why are you crying? Is your young lady fine?"
Shen Zhaowan tried her best to smile and said, "You still have to follow me tomorrow. If you cry your eyes out, your daughter will be the one being laughed at by others."
Hongxia: "Miss, I can't help it."
Qingliu: "Yes, Miss, you shouldn't have to endure all this."
"Okay, now that it's settled, there's no point regretting it. Hurry up and help me prepare things."
"Yes, ma'am."
The two of them spoke in unison, then each got busy.
……
At night, no one knew what Mrs. Yu said to Shen's father, but in the end Shen Mingyu was removed from the family tree.
Shen Mingyu didn’t really care about this result at the moment, but after hearing it, she was still filled with hatred.
It seems that she thinks her so-called family members are all equally disgusting.
Just taking advantage of her!
……
At night, Shen Zhaowan tried on the wedding dress that she had hastily altered the stitching on, while her father and the others in front of her had not gone to bed yet and were still busy.
After Shen Zhaowan changed, she put on her underwear and lay on the bed watching their actions.
……
It was still dark the next day.
Shen Zhaowan had to get up and prepare.
Her fair little face still looked a little sleepy, and the maids did their best to help her dress up.
The whole room was filled with amazement when seeing Shen Zhaowan dressed up.
She usually likes white or other light-colored dresses, which give her a fairy-like air, and make her look graceful, elegant, gentle, and delicate.
Nowadays, wearing a bright red wedding dress, with the hair tied in a bun at the back of the head and a phoenix crown on her head gives people a different feeling.
Her face is as white as jade, her skin is whiter than snow, and especially her unique facial features and bright eyes. When those beautiful eyes look at people, they often make people feel pity. They want to comfort her but are hesitant and dare not get close.
The wedding dress reveals her slender neck, her jade-like skin is white and delicate, and it also outlines her slender waist that can be held in one hand, making her look delicate and lively.
When the time came, Shen Zhaowan came out with a round fan in her hand.
Without having time to express in detail the reluctance between mother and daughter, they boarded the carriage.
The Third Prince's situation was special, so he did not come in person to marry her. Otherwise, who knows what might have gone wrong along the way.
Shen Zhaowan didn't care in her heart, but her face hidden by the round fan revealed her disappointment just right.
There were flowing red silk curtains on both sides of the carriage. The people on the roadside could only watch from afar, but they were also attracted by Shen Zhaowan's exposed slender fingers, but they wanted to see the beauty of the capital city even more.
They vaguely knew that the one getting married today was the prime minister's youngest daughter, as the eldest daughter had been removed from the family tree for some unknown mistake.
They watched the long wedding procession one by one.
The bride's carriage had passed by them for a long time, but there was still no end in sight for the dowry behind it.
Boxes of dowry decorated with red silk flowers were pulled by horse-drawn carriages. Countless rare treasures were piled up like mountains in the boxes.
Not to mention other things.
The long queue was like a dragon, marching towards the palace in the midst of the hustle and bustle.
The scene of Shen Zhaowan's ten-mile red wedding was unique in the capital. Although it did not go beyond the wedding ceremony of a princess, it was much better than others.
In addition to the dowry prepared at the beginning, Father Shen and Madam Yu added a lot more overnight. They added all the dowry that had been accumulated for her, and also added many shops and farms, and countless silver, money and banknotes.
It filled me with an indescribable heartache.
Shen Zhaowan arrived at the palace before the auspicious time.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prince's Mansion actually seemed a little lonely.
The guests had arrived, and the Third Prince stood in front of the palace gate amid everyone's teasing.
When Shen Zhaowan was about to get off the carriage, he just smiled stupidly and had no intention of taking the initiative to step forward.
The bridesmaid was helpless. Finally, the housekeeper whispered a few words in his ear before he walked forward and walked side by side with Shen Zhaowan, without any sign of sympathy.
She was holding a round fan, wearing many jewelries and heavy, inconvenient clothes. She could only see from the corner of her eye that he was tall and walked very fast.
She suppressed the depression in her heart and walked into the palace little by little.
Everything went wrong. He didn't know if it was done on purpose by the Third Prince Jiang Chengxuan. When it was time for the wedding ceremony, he insisted on going out to play and said he didn't want to go through this anymore. He tore off the red silk in his hand and started crying.
Shen Zhaowan held the round fan in her hand, feeling somewhat emotional. There weren't many guests that he could be so generous to, but as a prince, such behavior would still become a topic of conversation among everyone.
Except for the crown prince who was deposed and imprisoned in his own palace, all the other princes who were able to come came.
Shen Zhaowan stood straight the whole time, listening to their advice.
Although it was persuasion, it still contained malicious intent.
Some of them were eager to see Jiang Chengxuan make a fool of himself.
They couldn't help but find it interesting that a foolish prince actually got married.
In the end, it was the housekeeper who stepped in and managed to complete all the procedures.
Shen Zhaowan felt relaxed for a while only after she sat on the bed.
It seems that he is not satisfied with her, so Jiang Chengxuan is making such a fuss, just to embarrass her?
It's really a case of hurting one thousand of your own people and hurting eight hundred of the enemy.
Jiang Chengxuan didn't need to entertain the guests personally, but unfortunately his royal brothers would not let him go easily. After waiting for an unknown amount of time, everyone came to make trouble in the bridal chamber again.
A loud voice was heard, and just before the door of the house was opened, Shen Zhaowan sat back down holding a round fan.
A strong smell of alcohol gradually came in.
Everyone asked Jiang Chengxuan to go and see the bride quickly.
The eldest prince Jiang Qiyun said: "Be quiet, don't disturb my third brother."
At this time, Jiang Chengxuan was also forced to drink some wine, and his face was pink.
He turned around, looked at everyone's gestures, and approached Shen Zhaowan step by step.
Shen Zhaowan felt him reaching out.
Soon, the fan in his hand was pinched by a slender finger, quickly pulled out and thrown aside.
Shen Zhaowan raised her eyes shyly, her beautiful eyes filled with uneasiness.
She has bright eyes, red lips, sculpted skin and delicate makeup. There is nothing wrong with her at this moment.
This made everyone feel that this marriage was really inappropriate.
After all, Jiang Chengxuan has been stupid for so many years, and now he is hooking up with such a beautiful woman.
When Shen Zhaowan's face was exposed to everyone, they held their breath for a moment. Today they had seen that the Shen Zhaowan who was famous in the capital was worthy of her reputation.
This appearance alone can light up the whole room.
Some were sad and some were teasing. They naturally knew that this marriage had nothing to do with Shen Zhaowan. Now, it was really interesting...
The eldest prince stopped his younger brother who wanted to continue making trouble with a look, and quickly retreated with his men.
The emperor father is not here today, but this is a marriage arranged by him, and he will not allow any big trouble to happen.
