Chapter 194: Chapter 196: Lifting Her Bridal Veil
The wedding veil fluttered, falling to the ground.
Dugu Wu turned his back to Feng Bailing, his eyebrows twisted as he whispered to the side.
“Follow .”
No matter whose child Feng Xiaoli was, he would fulfill his pact with Feng Bailing.
This year, he would do everything in his power to protect her and her child.
Around them, there was eerie silence.
The smile on Xiao Junci’s lips congealed.
Dongfang Li inhaled sharply.
Inside the palanquin, Feng Ruoyan had been all ears, listening to the events outside.
It was strangely quiet outside, prompting Feng Ruoyan to stealthily lift the wedding veil, peering out of the palanquin.
The beauty in red, under the scrutiny of all, had a complexion like jade, stunning beyond asure. Her eyes were ethereal and clear, her skin delicate as snow ready to shatter from a re touch, with elegantly curved eyebrows, and full red lips that made one yearn for a kiss.
Her face was so smooth that not even pores could be seen, let alone any ugly blemishes. Bathed in sunlight, her Phoenix Robe made the bride look as if she stepped right out of a painting, dreamlike and surreal, causing onlookers to dare not even breathe heavily, for fear of offending such a beauty.
Is that Feng Bailing?
Even the porter was dumbstruck.
“Are you clear? You claim I had a secret rendezvous with you? When and where? If you dare speak a single lie, I will have your head fall to the ground.”
Feng Bailing’s voice was soft and smooth, tinged with laziness.
Yet her eyes were cold as a deep lake, as she spoke, employing her seventh sense.
With each question she asked, the porter trembled as if struck by lightning.
In the pitch darkness, drugged, he didn’t know if the other person was fat or thin.
The patron who brought him back said the person was Lady Feng, so he took it for granted that it was Lady Feng.
But confronted with Lady Feng now, he felt that even an extra glance was a desecration; the porter was filled with guilt, not daring to look Feng Bailing in the eye.
“I… I… I know nothing…”
The porter stuttered, scared into a cold sweat by Feng Bailing, shaking his head ceaselessly.
Amidst the crowd, murmurs erupted.
Earlier on, the onlooking public were convinced that the unsightly Princess Feng had an affair with the porter.
But to suggest that this celestial-like Princess Feng would fancy a filthy porter?
Impossible.
The people shook their heads in unison.
“Who are you, and how co you are wearing Feng Bailing’s wedding dress?”
Feng Ruoyan, upon witnessing the scene outside the palanquin, had her face written with disbelief. She tore off her own bridal veil and leapt down.
“Her Majesty~ look, look closely.”
In Feng Xiaoli’s tear-filled big eyes, stars suddenly appeared.
Although the little one didn’t care about Her Majesty’s looks, seeing Her Majesty so beautiful, Feng Xiaoli grinned with joy.
Dugu Xiaojin was also staring at Feng Bailing in shock; his Queen Mother was so beautiful.
Pride welled up in the two little ones.
Dugu Wu turned around, and with just one glance, his heartbeat accelerated dramatically.
At his side, a fragrant breeze wafted by.
Feng Bailing took a step forward.
“Feng Ruoyan, do you not recognize ?”
“Are you really Feng Bailing… Your face… how could it be so beautiful.”
Feng Ruoyan’s face twisted with jealousy.
Feng Bailing was ant to be an eyesore, yet her current appearance was nothing short of heavenly, even more beautiful than the Crown Princess Consort.
Feng Ruoyan turned to look at Dongfang Li, who stood stupefied, fixated on Feng Bailing.
At that mont, Dongfang Li was as if struck by a sudden awakening.
Remorse, regret, and various emotions filled his chest.
He absentmindedly dismounted from his horse.
“Are you truly Feng Bailing?”
He reached out to grab Feng Bailing’s hand.
“Cousin, I was wrong.”
But before he could touch Feng Bailing’s hand, Dugu Wu pulled her behind him.
He was a half head taller than Dongfang Li, his heterochromatic eyes filled with mockery.
“Seventh Prince, what do you intend to do with my Princess Consort? Your Princess Consort is not here.”
“Dugu Wu, you knew all along? That’s why at the Ancestral Affairs Office, you deliberately sched to break off my engagent with my cousin. I was montarily confused and agreed to call off the engagent. I regret it now. You cannot marry her, as my cousin and I were engaged first.”
Dongfang Li was red-faced with anger, glaring at Dugu Wu.
Dugu Wu’s towering figure completely shielded Feng Bailing, obstructing even the sight of the tip of her head from Dongfang Li.
“Cousin, I don’t mind that you had a child with another man, as long as you agree to marry , I’m willing to make you my Princess Consort.”
Dongfang Li cried out to Feng Bailing, sounding almost insane.
“Brother Li, what are you talking about? You already have and Sister Xiangxue.”
Feng Ruoyan was nearly driven to madness by the situation.
One Xiangxue wasn’t enough; the Seventh Prince still wanted to marry Feng Bailing.
“Sister Xiangxue, please co down and say sothing.”
Feng Ruoyan wept.
Inside the other sedan chair, Feng Xiangxue did not alight.
A different light briefly flickered in Feng Bailing’s eyes.
Sothing odd was going on, for Feng Xiangxue to be able to sit still in such a circumstance.
Not far away, Hei Dian seed restless.
He was baring his teeth at Xiao Junci’s horse carriage.
A thought crossed Feng Bailing’s mind.
She glanced at Hei Dian.
Suddenly, Hei Dian leaped up and pounced at the horse carriage.
At that mont, Xiao Junci still hadn’t recovered from the reality that “Feng Bailing was a great beauty.”
The one playing the Suona was Feng Bailing; the beauty was also Feng Bailing.
He racked his brains, only to have slept with the ugly and useless Feng Xiangxue.
The more Xiao Junci thought about it, the more depressed he beca.
Behind him, screams could be heard.
Xiao Junci’s heart tightened.
Hei Dian, as fast as lightning, had pounced onto the horse carriage, and the coachman, unable to stop him, tumbled down in a heap.
Hei Dian sprang into the carriage.
The woman’s scream ca from inside the carriage.
Hearing that voice, a bewitched Dongfang Li snapped back to reality.
On the carriage, Hei Dian had snatched a woman and jumped down.
The woman, half of her head bald, her clothes disheveled, her face filled with terror, her makeup from the morning sared by tears.
She hastily covered her ugly face and head with her hands, but as she lifted her arms, a bag of pig’s blood rolled out from her clothes.
“Feng Xiangxue!”
Dongfang Li was dumbstruck.
How could Feng Xiangxue be in Xiao Junci’s horse carriage?
The matchmaker hurriedly pulled down the “bride” from the other sedan chair.
Lifting the wedding veil revealed another woman altogether.
“Xiangxue, how could you be in Xiao Junci’s carriage?”
Dongfang Li was livid with anger.
“Brother Li, I was forced; it was Lady Nan Feng who captured and sent to Xiao Junci Mansion.”
Feng Xiangxue sobbed her defense.
“Miss Feng, don’t spout nonsense. At the Xia He Banquet, you had a secret affair with the Regent King and wanted another girl to pass off as you. I rely followed your order to find a virgin to replace you. Now you’ve turned your back and refuse to recognize anyone.”
The Feng Mansion’s carriage also just arrived, but it was blocked by the crowd of onlookers.
By the ti Feng Zhanlian and Aunt Xue, among others, pushed their way to the front, Aunt Xue’s face was as pale as death.
The mont Lady Nan Feng’s words were out, Aunt Xue looked at her daughter and the bag of pig’s blood, felt the world spinning around her, her vision darkened, and she fainted.
