Chapter 227 Getting Married
"Since you're about to die, I'll tell you the truth."
Yu Kangping suddenly leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "They all know I want you dead, but no one has stopped me."
Cui Ruixin's pupils suddenly contracted into two cold stars, and her convulsing fingertips dug hard into the folds of the white silk, drawing blood.
Her struggling body gradually calmed down.
He looked like he died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
Yu Kangping personally went forward to check her breathing and confirmed that she was completely dead. Only then did he order his men to hang her from the beam to make it look like she had committed suicide.
……
Not long after Yu Ruowei was brought back to the Yu family, she woke up.
To keep it a secret, Yu Ningyao gave her a makeover and had her secretly switch identities with her maid so she could stay at her villa.
On the day he marries Yun Chi, he will sneak into the wedding procession from the villa and join her.
She had just seen the person off when she saw her father and mother rushing into her yard.
Yu Ningyao quickly cheered them up.
"Father, Mother, what's wrong? Has something happened?"
"Sigh, your aunt couldn't bear the thought of your older sister's death and hanged herself." Yu Kangjing sighed, glancing at Yu Ningyao repeatedly.
That was her birth mother.
Will she be very sad when she finds out?
"Really?" Yu Ningyao feigned surprise.
In fact, after she told Yu Kangping about Cui Ruixin's evil deeds, she was mentally prepared for Cui Ruixin to die.
"Then you all go and pay your respects. I won't go. There was a scene yesterday, and although I apologized to my uncle, my aunt might not forgive me."
Yu Ningyao feigned innocence.
She publicly stated that she met with Yu Kangping yesterday to apologize to him.
Yu Kangjing and Shen Jinzhu were both somewhat surprised, not expecting that she wouldn't even attend Cui Ruixin's funeral.
"Yaoyao, let's go to the funeral together. Otherwise, it won't be good for your reputation if word gets out," Shen Jinzhu advised.
“Okay, I’ll listen to Mother.” Yu Ningyao nodded obediently.
This comforted Shen Jinzhu quite a bit.
She glanced at the coffin that Yu Ningyao had brought back, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Yu Ruowei is indeed a pitiful child, but is it really appropriate to keep her coffin at home?
Yu Ningyao saw what she wanted to say and hurriedly said, "I have already chosen an auspicious burial site for my elder sister, and I will have someone send her to be buried tomorrow."
“Alright, this is a pitiful child, so we’ll do as you say.” Yu Kangjing and Shen Jinzhu did not object anymore.
The next day.
When Yu Ruowei was buried, no one knew that the coffin was empty.
Yu Ningyao went to Cui Ruixin's funeral with her parents. In order to save face, the Marquis's mansion did not make public the evil deeds she had done.
However, Yu Kangping could not bear the thought of the two of them sharing a grave in the future, so he set her on fire and burned her to ashes.
Only her memorial tablet was left in the ancestral hall of the Marquis's mansion.
……
First, the crown prince was deposed, then the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion committed suicide in the street, and then the mistress of the Marquis's mansion also hanged herself.
These things are enough to keep the people of the capital gossiping for quite some time.
In a secluded corner where no one paid attention, Pei Wuji was also making preparations for his wedding.
That would be his only chance to keep Yu Ningyao.
Time flies, and two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Before she knew it, it was time for Yu Ningyao to get married.
The entire Yu family was reluctant to part with Yu Ningyao.
They looked at her in her wedding dress and shed tears.
Yu Ningyao felt a pang of sadness, but she knew she couldn't cry at this moment. If she cried, her family would probably worry even more about her.
"Hey, give me a smile! With that long face, people won't know if we're marrying off a daughter or..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Jinzhu interrupted her.
"Pah, pah, pah, what are you saying, child? Today, you should prepare for your wedding."
Shen Jinzhu looked at the daughter she had raised with red eyes.
Although she wasn't her biological daughter, she had long considered Yu Ningyao as her own.
She prepared a dowry of sixty-eight tables for Yu Ningyao.
This is the boudoir where the princess got married.
In addition to the royal dowry, the Lu and Zheng families also contributed, bringing the total to 128 sets of dowry.
"When you go to Yunchi, you must take good care of yourself. If you suffer any grievances, write back, and I'll have your brother stand up for you." Shen Jinzhu held her daughter's hand and began to give her these instructions in a rambling manner.
“That’s right, we will definitely stand up for you,” Yu Ziying promised first.
"How did your discussions with Prince Yunchi go regarding the business?" he couldn't help but ask.
"We can open a branch of Yunxiaolou, as long as we pay our taxes properly," Yu Ningyao said, revealing the result of her discussion with Yun Chubai.
"It means that we have to give him a share of the profits privately."
“Okay, okay, no problem.” Yu Ziying was very excited.
That's great! He will be the first person from Xiangguo to go to Yunchi to do business. If my little sister is bullied, he will go even faster!
"Today is Yaoyao's wedding day. Can't you talk about business matters later?" Yu Kangjing glared at his son and daughter with annoyance.
"Alright, alright, then Father, you talk to my little sister." Yu Ziying didn't dare to provoke her heartbroken father, so she stepped aside.
Anyway, he'll see his little sister again in the future, so there's no rush.
Yu Kangjing looked at his daughter in her wedding dress. He had imagined this scene thousands of times, but seeing it in person, he still couldn't help but tear up.
"So graceful..."
She choked up as soon as she opened her mouth.
Thousands of words of advice and concern were stuck in his throat.
He couldn't say it at all; he would burst into tears if he tried.
He had watched his daughter grow up from a young age, and he never imagined that she would marry someone so far away, or someone of such high status and power.
As a father, he can't compete with others, what should he do?
How will I support my daughter after this?
"Waaaaah, Yaoyao, Daddy, Daddy..."
Yu Kangjing became the first person in the family to cry.
His crying moved everyone present to tears as well.
Yu Ningyao couldn't hold back her tears either.
Fortunately, she wasn't wearing makeup today; otherwise, given the quality of foundation in ancient times, she would probably be shedding tears of grime right now.
Thinking about this, Yu Ningyao suddenly realized that she had missed a way to make money all these years.
She doesn't like wearing makeup, so she hasn't studied cosmetics.
It seems we can put this on the agenda for our trip to Yunchi.
She wants to make lots of money!
"Don't cry, don't cry, why are you crying on such a joyous day?" Shen Jinzhu was the most rational, stopping everyone's crying and then kicking Yu Kangjing, who was crying the loudest, out.
After the family members finished speaking to Yu Ningyao, Yun Chubai arrived with his entourage to welcome the bride.
"Quickly, quickly, put the veil on the young lady's head!" Shen Jinzhu urged anxiously.
It was my first time marrying off my daughter, and I was quite flustered.
Yu Ningyao chuckled and obediently sat down as her mother instructed, waiting for Yun Chubai to take her away.
While waiting, she thought of Pei Wuji, who was getting married on the same day.
[System, can you check if Pei Wuji is up to anything today?]
She's getting married today, although it's not a formal wedding, but she doesn't want anyone to ruin her good mood.
