Chapter 256: Happy Events Are Coming
The Cangzhou Governor's Mansion suddenly decided to hold a wedding and made it a grand event, as if they were afraid that others would not know about it.
The eldest and second sons of Governor Liu are both married, and the youngest son is planning to become a monk, which is also known to the whole city. The only thing missing is the eldest daughter, but...
But the kidnapping of the girls last year is still something that people in the city find hard to talk about. Even though all the girls are innocent, it is still somewhat shameful in this world bound by all kinds of etiquette.
After that incident, some of the girls involved tried to commit suicide, some became nuns, and only a few remained at home, but they were also treated coldly.
After the news of a wedding being planned in the Governor's Mansion came out, Lingxiang just went to sit in a teahouse and heard all kinds of gossip. Some said that Miss Liu was a bad person, while others said that Governor Liu's family was just rough and had no good upbringing. There were not many good words heard, and Lingxiang felt very upset.
After all, the world is controlled by men, and this seems unchangeable at present. It would be fine if they did not understand women's endurance of humiliation, but what Lingxiang could not understand was that among those who said these words, there were also many women.
Don't they know the hardships women go through? Why are they always so harsh on other women?
Let’s not even ask whether those abducted women were defiled. Even if they were abducted, did they do so voluntarily?
If you can't stand the pain, you can just open your mouth and let your teeth swell. Does that make you look nobler? A moment of verbal pleasure can force others to lose their lives. What's wrong with this world?
Forget it, we can’t force everyone to be a compassionate Bodhisattva, right?
As long as the saints live, there will be no more thieves!
Even though there were all kinds of rumors flying around in the outside world, the Governor's Mansion did not seem to be affected at all and was still busy preparing for the marriage.
It's not that the governor's mansion didn't care about these gossips. After hearing them, the governor's wife threatened to bite those gossipers. But after Lingxiang's persuasion, she was really relieved.
Lingxiang said that a person's life, if counted by the heavens, is no more than 20,000 days. If one cares about everything, even the saliva of those gossipers can drown a person.
From sunrise to sunset and from closing your eyes to closing your eyes, you can't spend all your days trying to please others. That would be too tiring. Instead of caring about what others think and what others say, you might as well be more open-minded so that you can live a comfortable life.
Parents just want their children to live a better life. Now that the family has many children and a carefree life, what is there to worry about? Even Miss Liu's marriage is nothing to worry about. Some things will only come naturally when the time is right.
People outside only knew that a wedding was about to take place in the Governor's Mansion, and the news had been spreading widely over the past few days, but no one knew why such elaborate arrangements were made in the Governor's Mansion. Could it be that they were going to marry a son-in-law?
As a result, there was another rumor outside that a man from an unknown family was so unlucky that he was favored by the governor's family and had to submit under the force and marry his daughter.
The days passed quietly amid rumors in the outside world and the Liu family's busy schedule, until the wedding day. When firecrackers were heard in front of the Liu family's door, it was already three days later.
These three days were neither long nor short. The short part was that as a marriage, it was indeed a bit anxious. There was no proposal or matchmaking, and no matchmaker's words. This was indeed a bit strange and would inevitably give people outsiders something to talk about.
As for the length, it was naturally Lingxiang's plan.
Lingxiang has been hanging around in all the restaurants in Cangzhou these days, and asked Xinyi to spread the news of the Liu family's wedding to the beggars in the city, hoping for some response. However, she waited for a long time and saw no movement at all.
This is somewhat different from Lingxiang's calculations.
Normally, Yinghuan should have discovered that Lingxiang was deceiving her these days, but she did not take any action. She even asked Xinyi to find a few more beggars to pass on the message.
Did she misunderstand? Was Yinghua's goal not the governor's mansion? This shouldn't be the case!
That's right, the news was indeed spread by the spiritual incense, and the beggar in the restaurant was the best means of spreading the news. The idea was to lure Huanhuan to show up, but it was not known whether she did not get the news or was really able to keep her composure.
Although Yinghua could keep her composure, Lingxiang couldn't sit still! After all, we couldn't let down the preparations made by the Governor's Mansion, right?
"Get married!" Lingxiang decided. But who will get married? Liu Lan has been hidden by Xiaobai.
Although I don't know why Sang Mu would work for the demons, I think he must have his reasons. After all, Liu Xia has said again and again that Sang Mu is not a person who cannot distinguish right from wrong. In this case, the only way to find out the reason is to meet him.
But according to Lingxiang, it is not convenient for Liu Lan to show up at the moment, lest she becomes a bargaining chip for Bai Wuchang to control Sang Mu in the future, and she might even be killed by Yinghuan.
This kind of thing is not impossible, and people like Bai Wuchang are very familiar with such methods.
"Of course it's you two." Lingxiang pointed at Liu Xia and Banxia and said.
"What! Me and him!" Banxia stood up in shock, almost knocking the teacup off the table, "Why me?"
"Does it really need me, a dignified elder of a sect, to personally take action?" Lingxiang took a sip of tea calmly, looking totally composed.
“Then…how…how can I…” Banxia pointed at her nose and stammered, but she didn’t say the rest for a long time.
"Why not? I'm not asking you to really marry him. It's just an act." Lingxiang glanced at Liu Xia and found that the corners of his mouth were actually twitching. Although it was only for a moment, she happened to see it.
That's a smile! Could it be...
Oh ~
Lingxiang suddenly realized that it was because Banxia had come to her and said that Liu Xia was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. It turned out that it was this. However, Banxia, a girl, was in the middle of the situation and had a straightforward personality, so she naturally didn't understand the tricks of these men.
uh~
When did it start?
According to Banxia, Liu Xia started to act strangely after coming out of the Long family tomb, and the two of them were trapped in the Xuanwu Formation together. Could something have happened?
hiss~
Such things in the storybook actually happened to me. This is really...
It’s so much fun!
Lingxiang suddenly felt like playing and felt that she had to do something to comfort herself for the hard work of the past two days.
Although there are still many things that need to be solved, this will not stop her from having fun, right?
Even if the king of heaven comes, she will still have fun!
Thinking of this, Lingxiang immediately put on the demeanor of an elder and said, "Since you have entered the Taoist sect, you should have the heart to eliminate demons, defend the Dao and uphold justice. This is just a trick to lure out Yinghua, so what's wrong with that?"
These words actually had a didactic tone, so Banxia and the other two had no choice but to stand up and listen with their fists clenched. After all, in terms of seniority, Lingxiang was indeed one generation older than them.
However, this was the first time that Xinyi saw Lingxiang acting so serious. If Xinyi didn't know her character and temper well, she would have believed it.
only……
Xinyi suddenly felt a chill on her back.
What kind of evil ideas is this little girl having?
