Chapter 1186: Chapter 1186: Has there been a burglary?
“What’s going on, Elder Mr. Zhou, you should ask your daughter-in-law about this.” Lie Ming stepped out of the bridal chamber with a cold gaze sweeping towards Elder Mr. Zhou.
“Who is this… how co he’s coming out of the bridal chamber?”
“Oh dear, what’s happened here?”
“Who is this man, and why is he in the bridal chamber? Don’t tell
he’s related to the new bride…”
The people in the courtyard began to gossip with unpleasant remarks upon seeing Lie Ming, assuming he was so relation of the new bride.
“You…”
Elder Mr. Zhou naturally recognized him as Feng Yurui’s servant.
“What do you an by this, how has she offended you?” he asked.
“Heh.”
Lie Ming let out a cold laugh, his disdainful look sweeping over Elder Mr. Zhou and Madam Zhou.
“It seems a bit odd to , the way your Zhou family does things, why, when my mistress got married and ca over, she wasn’t allowed to enter the bridal chamber first but was instead arranged to stay in another room.
You say it’s a custom in Ya Village that the bride can only enter the bridal chamber just before consummating the marriage…”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Where does Ya Village have such a custom?” A woman overheard his accusation and couldn’t help calling out.
Isn’t it true that when soone marries a bride, they first welco her into the bridal chamber, and then take her out for the wedding ceremony? Where’s this about arranging her to stay in another room?
Only large households might have such strange customs; how could Ya Village have such nonsensical traditions?
“Ya Village doesn’t have such a custom?”
Lie Ming glanced at the woman, then turned his gaze back to Elder Mr. Zhou.
“So, it’s the custom of Elder Mr. Zhou’s household, is it? Is the custom of your household to have my mistress stay in another room first, waiting for her mother-in-law to rummage through her dowry and take away anything of value before letting my mistress into the bridal chamber?”
“You… you’re talking nonsense, I was just… just checking what Rui’er had brought with her!”
Upon hearing his words, Madam Zhou’s face flushed with sha. Unable to admit her actions, she could only stubbornly deny it.
“Just checking? Is this how Madam Zhou ‘checks’? Please, everyone co in and see for yourselves, what’s beco of my mistress’s belongings!” Lie Ming stepped to the side, indicating that those who wished to see could co in.
Among those present, there were few who had co with sincere blessings for Zhou Liang’s wedding. Seeing Lie Ming’s invitation, several won actually got up, ready to walk towards the door of the bridal chamber.
Little did they know…
As Madam Zhou saw them approaching, she feared that they would expose her misdeeds and quickly blocked them.
“Look at what, look at what? This is my son Liang’er’s bridal chamber. Is it a place for a few shaless won like you to see? Get lost, all of you, scram!” How could she let anyone see the state of the bridal chamber?
She had to drive away these overly curious people.
But how could Lie Ming let Madam Zhou have her way? He strode forward, pushed Madam Zhou aside, and let the won through to see for themselves.
“Oh my goodness, has there been a burglary? How co the bridal chamber’s been turned upside down like this?”
Upon witnessing the chaotic state of the room, a woman imdiately exclaid aloud.
“This… my goodness, all the clothes tossed on the ground, this doesn’t look like a burglary, it looks like it’s been vandalized by an enemy. Did Madam Zhou do this?”
Another woman turned her head towards Madam Zhou, her face filled with embarrassnt.
