Jiao Wan’er had no idea what Xia Qingqing was planning, so she let herself be supported as they walked outside. However, as she saw the bridal chamber getting closer, her face finally changed as she asked, “What are you trying to do?”
“Wan’er, I have no other choice. I had to resort to this last-ditch plan.” Xia Qingqing settled Jiao Wan’er in the shadows of the bushes and then calmly walked towards the bridal chamber.
“Stop, who goes there?”
Zeng Rou, being from the Wangwu Sect, had people from her sect guarding outside the bridal chamber, as they were her family.
The guards quickly noticed someone approaching. When they saw it was Xia Qingqing, they immediately saluted and said, “So it’s Leader Xia.”
“I’m here to talk to Sister Rou,” Xia Qingqing smiled slightly. The charm she displayed at that moment made the guards momentarily dazed.
“Leader Xia, we don’t mean to make things difficult for you, but there’s no reason for the bride to see anyone at this time,” one of the guards hesitated.
Xia Qingqing’s face immediately turned stern as she coldly said, “What? Just because you have a new leader, you no longer respect me, the former leader?”
After Yuan Chengzhi’s accident, Xia Qingqing had been the nominal leader of the Golden Serpent Camp. Although many of the leaders didn’t take her seriously, these ordinary soldiers had no idea of the internal power struggles. Seeing Xia Qingqing angry, they started to panic.
Sensing their wavering, Xia Qingqing softened her tone and said gently, “Miss Zeng is my close sister. We’re just having a private chat, that’s all. Do you really think I would harm her?”“We wouldn’t dare!” The guards exchanged glances and stepped aside, “Please go ahead, Leader Xia!”
“Is that Sister Xia outside? Please come in,” Zeng Rou’s voice came from inside the room after hearing the commotion outside.
While others might not know the inside story, Zeng Rou had been by Ah Jiu’s side a lot lately, so she was well aware of Xia Qingqing’s relationship with Song Qingshu. Her call of “sister” was genuine.
Xia Qingqing could naturally hear the sincerity in her tone, and her face flushed slightly. After entering, she took Zeng Rou’s hand and teasingly said, “Rou’er, you’re picking up Ah Jiu’s bad habits, already teasing me so quickly. You’re the one who’s being married properly, not me. How could I be your sister?”
Zeng Rou hurriedly replied, “Sister, don’t say that. We all know how important you are to Brother Song. If you wanted, Brother Song would marry you with the grandest ceremony. It’s only because you’re still mindful of Yuan… that you haven’t agreed.”
Even with the red bridal veil on, Zeng Rou’s anxiety was palpable. Xia Qingqing couldn’t help but laugh, “Silly girl, I was just teasing you. You took it seriously.”
Zeng Rou finally relaxed. She had been sitting in the bridal chamber, both excited and nervous. Xia Qingqing’s arrival was exactly what she had needed.
“Sister, is there something you want to discuss?” After chatting for a bit, Zeng Rou noticed Xia Qingqing seemed to be holding something back several times and curiously asked.
“Rou’er, do you love him?” Xia Qingqing suddenly asked.
“Sister!” Zeng Rou was immediately embarrassed, but since they were alone, she finally confessed, “Brother Song is like a hero from the clouds, appearing before me like a legend. Since meeting him, I knew my heart couldn’t hold any other man. To marry someone like Brother Song is truly a blessing from my past lives.”
Seeing Zeng Rou’s face full of admiration and affection, Xia Qingqing found it both amusing and frustrating. That scoundrel! He always showed off, unknowingly stealing the hearts of so many young women.
Wait until you see his shameless side. I bet his heroic image will crumble in your eyes.
Thinking of the outrageous demands Song Qingshu had made in private, Xia Qingqing’s cheeks flushed slightly as she cast a mischievous glance at Zeng Rou.
“Rou’er, if someone were to harm your Brother Song, would you be willing to help him?” Xia Qingqing finally revealed her intentions after collecting herself.
“What?” Zeng Rou was instantly alarmed and instinctively reached to remove her bridal veil to rush outside. “Sister, who is trying to harm him? I must inform my master to send more people to protect Brother Song…”
Seeing Zeng Rou act like a frantic ant, Xia Qingqing couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She quickly pressed down the bridal veil and said, “Rou’er, that’s for the groom to lift. Don’t worry too much. With your Brother Song’s martial skills, who in this world could hurt him?”
“That’s true.” Zeng Rou finally calmed down but then suddenly realized, “But didn’t you just say someone was trying to harm him?”
“It’s not harm in the sense you think. It’s just that someone wants to ruin his reputation,” Xia Qingqing bit her lip. “To prevent Brother Song’s reputation from being damaged, I need your help.”
“Sister, just tell me what you need. How can I help?” Zeng Rou asked anxiously.
“I need… to borrow your bridal chamber.” Xia Qingqing instantly sealed Zeng Rou’s acupoint.
Zeng Rou had no defenses against her, and with her vision blocked by the bridal veil, she fainted before she could even make a sound.
After covering Zeng Rou with the blanket and placing her on the inner side of the bed, Xia Qingqing sighed, “Rou’er, knowing too much isn’t good for you. It’s better for you to remain an innocent bride. I hope you won’t hate me in the future.”
After setting everything up, Xia Qingqing got up and walked out.
“Leader Xia, you’re leaving?” The guards greeted her with smiles.
“Yes,” Xia Qingqing lowered her voice mysteriously and said, “Miss Zeng told me to tell you…”
She lowered her voice even more, and the guards instinctively leaned in to listen. Xia Qingqing’s expression suddenly changed, and she moved like lightning, sealing their acupoints in an instant.
Xia Qingqing’s martial skills had advanced rapidly over the years. Catching the guards by surprise, none of the Wangwu Sect disciples could stop her. Soon, the guards outside the bridal chamber were all subdued.
“What are you doing?” Seeing everything unfold, Jiao Wan’er started to panic.
“Making you a bride again,” Xia Qingqing said with a seductive smile that sent a chill down Jiao Wan’er’s spine.
Jiao Wan’er was brought into the bridal chamber. When she saw Zeng Rou lying on the bed, seemingly asleep, she couldn’t help but ask worriedly, “What did you do to her?”
There were already few women in the Golden Serpent Camp, and Zeng Rou had always been kind and gentle. Jiao Wan’er had a good relationship with her, so even though she was annoyed that Zeng Rou was marrying that devil, her concern was genuine.
“I only sealed her sleep acupoint. She’ll wake up in a few hours,” Xia Qingqing said as she pushed Jiao Wan’er onto the bed and started undressing her.
“You!” Jiao Wan’er was both embarrassed and furious. She had never been touched like this by another woman.
Leaving only her undergarments on, Xia Qingqing quickly dressed her in the bridal gown she had prepared earlier.
Jiao Wan’er’s face flushed, blending with the red wedding dress, making her even more stunning. Even Xia Qingqing couldn’t help but praise, “What a beautiful bride!”
