It wasn't until the whole group of people in the palace left that Li Jingsheng waved to the accompanying butler, and the wedding sedan chair started to walk slowly, and returned to Li's house not long after.
The wedding sedan stopped, and Li Jingsheng paused for a while before getting off the horse.
Turning around and walking towards the wedding sedan chair, Xi Niang stood in front of the curtain, said festive words, opened the curtain, and at the same time put the end of the red silk knot in Li Jingsheng's hand. Li Jingsheng took it with a blank face, and stood tall in a happy suit, indifferent and without the slightest joy. With the sound of gongs and drums in his ears, he just lowered his eyes. If his father hadn't said that he was afraid of offending Patriarch Ruan, he wouldn't even have this ceremony.
Just a concubine.
Silently humming, Li Jingsheng watched Lou Lianxin walk out of the sedan chair, holding one end of the red silk knot.
It's just that Li Jingsheng's eyes fell on those fair and soft hands, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered Lou Qingwu, the fingers she inadvertently revealed when she blocked the knife for herself were also so delicate.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Jingsheng unexpectedly shook Lianxin's hand downstairs.
Lou Lianxin's body trembled, and her heart, which had already been ruthless, was rippled again because of this grip.
Looking at the tall and hazy figure in front of him through the red hijab.
He suddenly bit his lower lip, and tears welled up in his eyes, "Jingsheng..."
This sound made Li Jingsheng wake up suddenly, his sword eyebrows furrowed, and the next moment he let go of Lou Lianxin's hand, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."
The gap in Lou Lianxin's heart surged angrily, the expectation was too high, and the disappointment was even more difficult to accept.
He clenched the red silk knot in his hand, lowered his eyes silently, and followed Li Jingsheng forward step by step, his mind was inexplicable.
Walking along the way, they soon arrived in front of the ancestral hall of the Li Mansion, but when there were still a dozen steps left, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind them, and they quickly caught up with them and blocked in front of the ancestral hall.
Li Jingsheng stopped in surprise, wondering why these people around his grandmother appeared
A sense of premonition welled up, he turned his head, and his eyes fell on the old lady who was approaching with a dark face. His face turned cold, and his thoughts were fleeting. He bowed respectfully and saluted: "Grandmother."
"En." The old lady Li snorted expressionlessly, without turning her head, she walked directly past the two of them.
Behind her is Fan Li, who is very well-dressed, who is also Fan Yi's biological mother.
Fan Li is a descendant of the old lady Li, who lost her husband in the early years, and now the old lady has taken her to the Li residence, she loves her very much, and she loves Fan Yi even more.
This time Fan Yi had an accident, I am afraid that the old lady is angry, and today's marriage may be easy to deal with, but it will be very difficult.
The old lady didn't go into the ancestral hall, but the concubine chair brought by her personal nun, she sat directly on it, and a servant girl sat on the low table and beat her legs for her. Fan Lishi also stood behind her, carefully rubbing the old lady's shoulders, but his eyes fell on Li Jingsheng and Lou Lianxin, and he hummed disdainfully.
Li Jingsheng's cold eyes drooped hard, and his face was respectful: "Grandma, why are you here?"
"Why? Grandson gets married, so I, as a grandmother, can't come?"
"Grandson doesn't mean that." Li Jingsheng quickly explained that even his father gave his grandmother three points, so how could he dare to be negligent.
He is a concubine, and his grandmother didn't like him at all. This time, he was the one who provoked Fan Yi. He wanted to teach Fan Yi a lesson, but who knew something went wrong, because molesting the future second prince and concubine, Even the emperor was alarmed, Fan Yi was still being imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment at this moment, it seems that grandmother deliberately found this opportunity to embarrass him.
Li Jingsheng really guessed right, this time the old lady was indeed here to punish him to vent her anger on her grandson.
However, Li Jingsheng was his son's favorite recently, so naturally he couldn't embarrass him publicly, so he had to start with the bride.
This Lou Lianxin belongs to Li Jingsheng, embarrassing Lou Lianxin is like slapping Li Jingsheng in the face.
The old lady looked at Li Jingsheng expressionlessly with a sullen face, and she didn't take a glance at Lou Lianxin from the corner of her eye, "Sheng'er, I heard that you married the 'concubine daughter' of the left prime minister? This status is a bit low. .”
Bitten the word "concubine" a bit hard.
Li Jingsheng's face was hot at that moment.
But still lowered his eyes, with a humble posture, "Yes, it is the second lady of the Loufu, Lianxin."
Normally, although these noble ladies who are descendants of concubines look down on those who are concubines, they would not say it in front of their faces. Today, they spit it out directly from the old lady's mouth, and hit them directly, but Li Jingsheng could only smash his teeth into his stomach with this tone. pharynx.
But just because he can swallow it doesn't mean that Lou Lianxin is willing to endure it.
She has been rampant in the mansion for so long these years, how can she bear this grievance? Immediately, I couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "If you want to talk about low status, how did I hear that my aunt was also a concubine of the Fan family before she lost her husband?"
"..."
Lou Lianxin's words fell.
The whole yard fell into a deathly silence.
Fan Lishi, who was watching a joke, turned pale when she heard this. She and the eldest son of the Fan family were childhood sweethearts. Not reconciled, she insisted on marrying into Fan's family and became a concubine by means. Unexpectedly, even after that, Master Fan would just say no. She had no support in the Fan family, so she went back to the Li family. Fortunately, her mother loves her, and no one dares to speak out in front of her. This is the first time in so many years that she has heard someone speak out clearly and poke at her. Pain points.
Fan Lishi became angry from embarrassment, trembling with anger, pointing at Lou Lianxin who was still covered with a hipa, speechless.
"you you… "
In the end, he punched his chest a few times abruptly, turned his head away, and tears fell down.
The old lady was a calf protector, seeing this, she was not willing to spare Lou Lianxin, she immediately threw the red sandalwood walking stick in her hand towards Lou Lianxin.
It just missed the target and didn't hit it.
It landed on the ground and made a "bang", which scared the whole yard into deathly silence.
Lou Lian regretted her words as soon as she uttered them. No matter what, the person in front of her was also Li Jingsheng's grandmother, but she couldn't help but choked up when she heard her grandmother's sarcastic words.
This sentence completely made the old lady become angry from embarrassment.
"Sure enough, a concubine is a concubine. Hasn't the left minister taught you to respect your elders? Even if my son is a concubine, so what? It's a thousand times better than a concubine who came in. At least my son is innocent, not like Some people are full of male thieves and female prostitutes, it's really embarrassing!"
"..." Lou Lianxin blushed when she heard the word "female prostitute".
He raised his head abruptly, and stared viciously in the direction of the old lady through Xipa.
Just about to scold back, Dongshuang and Dongxue quickly stopped him.
Lou Lianxin bit the tip of her tongue hard to calm down the anger in her heart, but even if she is willing to admit her mistake now, the old lady may not let it go.
What's more, the little action between the three of them has already fallen into the eyes of the old lady, and the dislike has increased by three points.
With a sneer, he said meanly: "Disobedience to elders, Nanny Cui, give me a slap in the face!"
