After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 67 The bride turns into a scarecrow

Liu Guangzong walked in and glanced at his sister on the bed, "Are you ready?"

Cao Ying hurriedly stood up, smiled at him attentively and said: "Okay, okay." At the same time, he took the water-red hijab and covered her sister-in-law, covering her face full of tears.

Liu Guangzong carried his sister out and put her on the sedan chair.

Watching the procession of welcoming the bride away in a fussy manner, he felt no trace of reluctance in his heart. Instead, he was thinking about how to get the birthday banquet invitation from the old lady of the Cheng family and successfully attend the banquet.

Fortunately, this younger sister is quite pretty, so even if she is placed in the town, she still stands out. The most important thing is that she is young. For Mr. Zhu, who is over forty but has no children, the temptation is not small.

Otherwise, how could Mr. Zhu be willing to pay a betrothal gift of 50 taels of silver?

With these 50 taels, he was more confident about his next action.

Unfortunately, what Liu Guangzong didn't know was that his wish to attend the Cheng family's birthday banquet was destined to not come true.

In order to know in time the consequences of Liu Hong's marriage to Mr. Zhu, Lin Xi did not go to the boat to study with Lin Wushang today.

Instead, he and Lin Wushang were waiting at Lin's house while playing chess.

After a few games of chess were played, Xiaoyun, who was sent to the village entrance to inquire about the news, ran back, "Master Zhu and his people came to the Liu family to settle accounts!"

Lin Xi threw away the chess piece in his hand, stretched out his hand towards Lin Wushang, and said through his inner strength: "Quick, carry me over and take a look."

How could she not join in the Liu family's unlucky bustle?

Lin Wushang carried her to Liu's house, and Xiaoyun and Yuniang also followed.

Xiao Hei ran for a few steps, then looked back at Cui Niang, but stopped.

Cui Niang basically feeds Xiao Hei on weekdays, so Xiao Hei is closest to Cui Niang and follows her wherever she goes.

For the sake of his master, Xiao Hei suppressed his instinct to watch the excitement, returned to Cui Niang's feet, and lay down.

Cui Niang touched its head, smiled tenderly, and continued to embroider with her head down.

Sanfu, who was beating furniture in the yard, caught this scene and felt relieved.

In the past few days, he had been keeping an eye on the second sister, fearing that she would be tempted to commit suicide again. Now it seemed that the second sister had come out.

When Lin Xi and Lin Wushang arrived, many people had gathered outside the Liu family yard.

To be precise, the person who came to congratulate me has not left yet.

Liu Hong was married to Mr. Zhu as a concubine, and Liu Guangzong did not hold a banquet in order to save money.

But the villagers still came to celebrate one after another. The gossip didn't leave even after celebrating. They stayed to talk to Cao Ying and asked why Liu Hong went to be Master Zhu's concubine.

"Her mother just passed away a few days ago, so why is the red girl so anxious to get married?"

"I heard that Mr. Zhu opened a restaurant in the town and made a lot of money a day."

"My maternal cousin's aunt's daughter works as a maid in the Zhu family. I heard from her that Mr. Zhu already has two concubines, but he has not given birth to a son."

"Hong girl is so young and handsome. If she goes to be Master Zhu's concubine, she will have to receive a lot of betrothal gifts, right?"

Cao Ying reluctantly dealt with these gossiping villagers with a smile. He couldn't drive them out, so he could only beat them up.

"Not much."

A group of people were chatting when Master Zhu came over aggressively with the wedding team.

"You, the Liu family, used a straw man to defraud you into marriage! I'm going to the government to sue you! Give me back my 50 taels of silver as the bride price!"

Mr. Zhu got off the donkey's back with difficulty. Before he could step into the Liu family's door, the voice broke in first.

The person carrying the sedan chair behind him opened the curtain. Good fellow, the person sitting inside was not Liu Hong who was supposed to get married, but a straw man!
The mouth of the straw man is sewn with red cloth. It is scarlet and has a wide grin, full of irony and ridicule.

Lin Xi was happy when she saw the straw man and gave Lin Wushang a thumbs up, good job.

Lin Wushang wanted to say that he just conveyed her request to Qin Feng. It was Qin Feng who carried out the matter, and he was also responsible for the straw man.

But she rarely praised him once, so he swallowed the words silently.

All the people in the Liu family's yard came out in a swarm. They were all stunned when they saw the straw man in the sedan.

"Here, isn't the girl in the sedan a red girl? How did she become a straw man?" "The straw man looks really scary."

"what happened?"

Yes, what's going on!
If the villagers who were eating melons and watching the excitement were shocked, then the two parties involved, Cao Ying and Liu Guangzong, were shocked.

How come the sister they gave away with their own hands turned into a straw man in the blink of an eye?
Liu Guangzong composed himself and bowed to Mr. Zhu, acting like a gentle scholar.

"Mr. Zhu, there must be some misunderstanding here. How about we take a step to talk?"

He made a "please" gesture towards the inside.

Mr. Zhu thought that this "brother-in-law" was a scholar, and he didn't want to make this matter known to everyone, so he sold his face and went in first.

Liu Guangzong, who was one step behind, winked at Cao Ying and asked her to find a way to send the villagers away.

What can Cao Ying do?She had no choice but to close the courtyard door to block out those probing eyes.

However, people blocked it, but the news spread quickly as if it had wings.

It was spread not only in the village, but also in the town.

In broad daylight, in front of everyone's eyes, the bride in the sedan chair turned into a funny and terrifying straw man. This is a piece of curious news that everyone loves to talk about.

Lin Xi, who was also locked out, pointed to the roof of the Liu family and ordered Lin Wushang to take her to the roof to eavesdrop.

Lin Wushang: "..."

It was the first time in my two lives that I was asked to do such a thing.

He just hesitated for a moment and was punished by Lin Xi pulling his ears.

"hurry up."

If he wanted to save his ears, he had no choice but to obey.

Arriving at an uninhabited land, Lin Wushang carried Lin Xi and flew to the roof of Liu's house, followed closely by Xiaoyun and Yu Niang.

Yuniang was so excited that she kicked up her legs. Xiaoyun made a "shh" gesture towards her. Yuniang covered her mouth and nodded repeatedly.

"Second sister, second sister! Sister Liu Hong has turned into a scarecrow!"

After eavesdropping on the conversation between Liu Guangzong and Mr. Zhu, as soon as she returned home, Yu Niang couldn't wait to share the news with her second sister.

When I went in, I found that my second sister was not at home.

Sanfu told her: "Second sister went to the fields to pick vegetables."

Actually no, it was a date with Qin Feng in the woods.

Don't think wrongly, the two of them did nothing. Qin Feng came to change Cuiniang's dressing.

He came here every day these days, but because Cuiniang didn't want her family to know that she had committed suicide by cutting her wrists, the dressing was changed secretly, and only Sanfu knew about it.

Cuiniang sat on a stone, her eyelashes lowered, not looking at the person in front of her. Her uninjured hand held the hem of her skirt, unconsciously stroking the patterns on it.

Qin Feng knelt on one knee in front of her, carefully bandaged her with medicine, and wanted to say something. However, his usually eloquent mouth was not very good at this moment, and he could not hold back a word for a long time.

"Brother Qin..."

"Cui Niang, I——"

At a certain moment, the two of them spoke at the same time, but stopped hurriedly when they heard each other's voice.

Qin Feng: "Speak first."

Cui Niang: "Brother Qin——"

Qin Feng suddenly reacted, "When did you recognize me?"

Otherwise, I wouldn't call him Brother Qin.
