Chapter 969: A Grand Marriage

The storyline continued smoothly. Xuan Xiaotian and Shangguan Qingrou were about to get married. Despite Shangguan Qingrou’s playful personality, she hadn’t taken a single step out of the residence for a long time.

Even Xuan Xiaotian rarely visited the director’s residence anymore even though he used to be quite enthusiastic about visiting. He was probably busy preparing for the wedding.

Ning Shu asked a maid that had left the director’s residence on an errand and the maid said that Shangguan Qingrou was currently embroidering her dowry.

Embroidering her dowry?

Ning Shu didn’t feel like Shangguan Qingrou could embroider anything.

Soon the imperial edict bestowing the marriage came and Xuan Xiaotian’s marriage to Shangguan Qingrou become something set in stone. Even though Xuan Hongyu wanted to obstruct it, he wasn’t able to stop the two from getting married.

The day of the wedding was set to be very soon, probably to guard against Xuan Hongyu.

Xuan Hongyu went to see Shangguan Qingrou, but he always faced a closed door. Shangguan Qingrou wanted absolutely nothing to do with Xuan Hongyu. Since she was about to get married, she wanted to see him even less.

Over half the reason that Shangguan Qingrou was in such a rush to marry was because of Xuan Hongyu. However, it was also because Xuan Xiaotian treated her very well.

However, Xuan Hongyu wouldn’t give up and even sent death soldiers to the residence to kidnap Shangguan Qingrou. Xuan Xiaotian had been prepared and had already made sure that the security of the director’s residence was watertight so that Xuan Hongyu couldn’t cause any more trouble.

Xuan Hongyu had a frosty expression on his face every day. An oppressive atmosphere seemed to hover around the entire third prince’s residence. Ning Shu didn’t care about how much in pain her master was at all or how wronged he felt. She just worked on speeding up her training even more. The battle between the two sides was intensifying.

From what she knew, several of Xuan Hongyu’s death soldiers had already died due to all sorts of missions. Some had been captured, so they had bit through the prepared poison capsule and died. Others had taken the initiative to head towards death for the sake of their master’s plan. This kind of struggle occurred in private and out of sight, but was vicious and bloody.

This kind of savage fighting—every mission granted only a narrow chance at life—caused Ning Shu’s hair to rise on end. All she could do was calm herself down and continue to train. Compared to what the others had to face, her mission was much simpler, and much luckier. All she had to do was keep an eye on Shangguan Qingrou and monitor the director’s residence.

If Shangguan Qingrou left the residence, Ning Shu had to notify Xuan Hongyu immediately.

She had already officially become a peeping stalker. It was sure exhausting to encounter an abnormal master.

There were so many grils in the world, why did Xuan Hongyu insist on having Shangguan Qingrou?”

This fixated possessive desire drove Xuan Hongyu to insist on obtaining Shangguan Qingrou. Fudge, I want you, so you must be mine! Your corpse is mine, your hair is mine, your nails are also mine!

If he couldn’t obtain her, then he felt extreme pain that seemed to scratch at his heart. It was so painful that he’d toss and turn endlessly at night, so painful that it drove him crazy.

The day of the wedding truly was filled with such loud festive gongs and drums that the music filled the skies as the red bridal procession moved through the streets. A daughter of the director’s residence was becoming the bride of the fifth prince and going to become a princess consort. It was the most festive event in the capital.

Xuan Xiaotian treated Shangguan Qingrou very well and gave her plenty of face. The dowry was so much that it made a line that stretched all the way from the prince’s residence to the director’s residence. The chests seemed very full since the carrying poles were all bending from the weight.

Xuan Hongyu was planning to attack the bridal sedan chair and directly make the bride disappear, but Xuan Xiaotian actually managed to convince the emperor to assign a troop of guards to guarantee that the wedding would progress smoothly.

Hence, Xuan Hongyu had no choice but to have his death soldiers withdraw. These guards were Imperial Father’s people. If he had his death soldiers attack, it would just be sending them straight towards blades, and it would even make Imperial Father become suspicious of him.

Xuan Hongyu stared darkly at Xuan Xiaotian who was riding on a horse, dressed in festive attire. He wished that Xuan Xiaotian would just fall off the horse to his death.

Ning Shu stood behind Xuan Hongyu and just curled her lips in disdain. She had told him to hurry up and marry Shangguan Qingrou, but he insisted on making Shangguan Qingrou his and actually blindly tried things like feeding Shangguan Qingrou blood. Did he really think she’d be his just with that?

So then Shangguan Qingrou ended up being able to marry someone else with her body still pure.

Ning Shu just wanted to cover her forehead.
