Liuyue Village was still happily setting off firecrackers just a moment ago, and the crackling resounded throughout the village.
However, at this moment, it fell into a silence.
Because, the bride is gone.
Chu Sihan, the magistrate of Linjiang Prefecture, was told by the national teacher that he would not live to be thirty, so he had to marry a daughter of the Lu family from Liuyue Village to survive the catastrophe.
A few days ago, the Chu Mansion sent someone to come to Lu's house to give a dowry, saying that they would come to pick him up this morning.
However, today the Chu family came over with a sedan chair, but they were told that the bride had disappeared inexplicably.
The Chu family who came to greet the relatives were very angry.
At this time, he was blocking the gate of Lu's house, saying that he wanted to see people in life and dead bodies in death.
"This is a good person, how can he disappear if he doesn't see him?"
Liu Yue Village's Li was frowning and asking the bride's father, Lu Dahua.
This person is from the Chu family.
Not to mention Huangyang Town, but even the entire Linjiang Mansion, few people would dare to offend the Chu family, not to mention, the Lu family is just a small villager
"I don't know either!" Lu Dahua looked like crying.
It never occurred to him that his daughter, who had always been obedient to him, would suddenly disappear.
"Father, did my sister escape because she didn't want to marry Master Chu?"
A pretty girl spoke timidly.
"Don't want to marry our lord?" Steward Chu stared, "Our lord can marry her, it's her blessing from her previous life."
"it's not true!"
The girl waved her hands in panic, she pursed her lips, and explained in a panicked tone: "Housekeeper Chu doesn't know anything, my sister...she had a fiancé before, and...she likes that person very much."
"fiancé?"
Steward Chu frowned, and looked at Lu Dahua questioningly.
Lu Dahua's heart skipped a beat, hesitating and not knowing how to speak.
His daughter Lu Sheng does have a fiancé, Duan Zhen, the only scholar in the village.
However, since Duan Zhen was selected as a scholar last year, the members of the Duan family have been looking for opportunities to settle the marriage with Lu Sheng.
However, he was afraid that people from the Lu family would talk about it everywhere, so he kept coming over to insinuate.
Mostly they said something that Lu Sheng was not good enough for Duan Zhen of their family.
What Lu Dahua said to the Duan family before went in one ear and out the other.
After all, Duan Zhen is the head of the case in Huangyang Town, and he will definitely win the election in the future, and maybe even become a high official.
How could he reject such a good marriage
Until a few days ago, Steward Chu came to the door suddenly, saying that the magistrate wanted to marry their daughter.
After learning about this, he couldn't wait to go to the door of Duan's house, and personally canceled the marriage.
The members of the Duan family still don't know why he suddenly came to withdraw the marriage, but the withdrawal is the result they have been looking forward to.
So, without even thinking about it, I agreed.
After learning about this, Lu Sheng locked himself in the room and cried all night. He didn't think about tea or food, and didn't go out again until the next day.
Moreover, he also agreed to Lu Dahua, saying that he was willing to marry into the Chu family.
He was still there at dinner last night.
Why did people disappear early this morning
"That... That's already happened before, and the marriage has been retired long ago."
After Lu Dahua finished speaking, he glanced at his stepdaughter with dissatisfaction.
Mrs. Liu pulled Lu Ning aside and scolded her dissatisfiedly, "My lord is speaking, why do you, a girl, interrupt?"
Lu Ning curled his lips innocently, but obediently did not say any more.
However, there was a hint of ruthlessness in the slightly drooping eyes.
Lu Sheng, I will never come back in this life!
