A Prince's Endless Indulgence-Chapter 1062 - 96, Forced Marriage Design (14
She was no longer a little girl, so she naturally understood what that sound meant.
But who dared to be so bold, to do such a thing at the birthday banquet of the old lady?
Zhu Yan mustered up courage and sneaked forward for a peek, but it was too dark in the rock garden to see clearly.
Thinking it through, she decided to leave first, but just as she left, she saw Marquess Yuanshen’s old lady leading the way, accompanied by Marchioness Yun Muyou and a few other ladies, walking over here, chatting and laughing.
Zhu Yan immediately realized that this was a well-orchestrated play.
But who was in that rock garden?
"Who’s in there?" Yun Muyou shouted, ordering the matron beside her to go up and check.
Before long, Weng Jianxun was dragged out with his clothes in disarray, followed by a girl with her head lowered.
Looking closely, Zhu Yan recognized her as Xu Xinmo.
Suddenly, she understood that this was likely a scheme from the Marquis Residence, with Xu Xinmo looking dazed, clearly drugged.
Zhu Yan glanced at them, laughed coldly, and turned to leave.
Listening to the cries, screams, and scorn, she knew she needed to marry quickly to avoid an end like Xu Xinmo’s, being schemed against and wed to that declining Marquis Residence.
In her previous life, Zhu Yan could not remember who Xu Xinmo married, but given Xu Xinmo’s temperament, her days were certainly extremely difficult.
The old lady Yun found out that Xu Xinmo was involved with Weng Jianxun and was caught in front of everyone, leading her to angrily spit blood.
Today was her sixtieth birthday!
"Misfortune, misfortune indeed!"
Such a good birthday banquet ruined by this affair, many would feign indifference outwardly yet inwardly be eager for drama.
Though the banquet continued, the old lady Yun left early, facing Xu Xinmo who was kneeling before her, with a cold expression.
Who knows what she was thinking.
"Grandmother, please help me, I don’t want to marry Weng Jianxun, I don’t want to, please, Grandmother, please!" Xu Xinmo cried, her tears streaming, incoherent.
She was destined to be Empress, not marry Weng Jianxun; how could she marry someone so destitute.
Old lady Yun felt particularly irritated by her crying.
She waved her hand, signaling someone to take Xu Xinmo away.
Now there were only two possibilities: marry into the Marquis Residence or become a nun, seeking solace with Buddha for a lifetime.
But this was a child she raised with care, how could she bear it.
Marrying into the Marquis Residence was the best option.
Naturally, Xu Xinmo was unwilling, attempting to hang herself and committing suicide, all as acts to scare old lady Yun, but old lady Yun fell ill herself, completely unaware of her antics, while Mrs. He knew and couldn’t wait for Xu Xinmo to die, certainly did not intervene.
After causing several scenes, Xu Xinmo couldn’t change old lady Yun’s mind, and the wedding date was set.
On the third day of October, very urgent.
The Xu Family received news and sent ten sets of dowry along with a letter severing father-daughter relations.
This letter was delivered to Yun Chen.
Yun Chen read it and stayed silent for a long time.
He handed it to old lady Yun, who instantly cursed, "When the Xu Family proposed to marry my daughter, they didn’t have this demeanor; my daughter was there for only a few years and passed away! Was it wrong to bring my granddaughter back to raise? What heartless beasts, worse than pigs and dogs. You must have them impeached to let them know the consequences of offending the Yun Family!"
