After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 2: Marriage Exchange
The Xie Mansion was decorated with red silk and was filled with joy. The guests had not yet left, and the red all over the mansion indicated that the eldest daughter of the Xie family had married into the marquis's mansion.

The corners of Song's mouth were almost stretched to her ears.

The figure that flashed past in the corridor made her eyelids jump and the smile on the corner of her lips instantly cracked.

The wife of the Minister of Personnel, who was talking to Song, asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

The corners of Song's lips stiffened for a moment, and then she forced a smile, "Nothing, sister, go have a drink first, I'll be back soon!"

A bad thought came to Song's mind and he quickened his pace.

Sure enough, in Xie Shuning's yard, Xie Shuning, who was supposed to be in the bridal sedan, was seen wearing a maid's dress, humming a song and eating grapes.

Even her feet, which were shaking happily, were still wearing the red embroidered shoes that she had not had time to change!
Song felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. She wondered how Xie Shuning could have fallen asleep before getting into the bridal sedan!

"Why are you here?! Who's in that sedan chair?!"

On Donghua Street, in the wedding procession of Xinling Marquis Mansion, a handsome young man was sitting upright on a big horse, and the eight-man sedan chair behind him slowly and steadily walked out of Chatan Lane.

In a restaurant on the street, a young man in brocade robes sneered while holding a wine glass, "Which blind girl dares to marry Ji Saner."

The long wedding procession was filled with music and dance, and the onlookers were all amazed. Who could spend so much to marry off their daughter? The dowry must be at least 180 loads.

The groom Ji Yunzhang on the horse turned his head casually and saw the young man in brocade robe in the teahouse with a smile on his lips and the wine glass in his hand pointing at him from a distance.

The groom turned his head away without even raising his eyelids.

Before the young man in brocade robes in the teahouse could say anything, the servant next to him became angry and said, "Young Master is congratulating me out of kindness, but he is so arrogant?"

The young man in brocade robes did not change his expression, he just calmly drank the wine in the glass, "Today is Ji Saner's big day, the groom is the most important."

Everyone at the gate of Xinling Marquis's Mansion was already looking forward to it.

Madam Hou Zhong's heart was in her throat, as she knew very well the temper of this rascal of her own.

I’m afraid that he might cause some trouble on such a happy day.

"I'm coming!"

The butler quickly asked someone to light the firecrackers that had been hung long ago.

Ji Yunzhang got off the horse, and the butler immediately put on the red silk with a smile.

"Press the sedan chair!" The bridesmaid beside the sedan chair waved a red handkerchief and shouted loudly.

Ji Yunzhang strode towards the bridal sedan and lifted the curtain, only to see the bride inside lying on one side with her wedding fan resting on her legs.

He frowned slightly. She could still fall asleep on her wedding day. It seemed that the girl from the Xie family was not as gentle and quiet as the rumors said.

"Kick the sedan!"

Ji Yunzhang kicked the sedan door three times, and the bridesmaid was startled. Why did the groom seem so angry?

The bride in the sedan chair remained motionless, and the wedding fan on her legs was even shaken off by the kick on the sedan chair.

Seeing how Prince Ji's face, which was not very friendly to begin with, bridesmaid gradually became impatient. She bent over to look inside the sedan chair and was so frightened that she almost lost her soul. Miss Xie had actually fallen asleep!
"Yunzhang, what's wrong?" Zhong's heart, which had finally calmed down, began to beat wildly again.

Ji Yunzhang looked back at his anxious mother and said loudly, "Nothing."

He got into the sedan chair and as soon as he put his hand on the bride's wrist, he realized something was wrong.

The bride was drugged.

At the Xie family, Xie Shuning knelt on the ground nonchalantly. Rong Peilan had already been carried into the Marquis' Mansion, and her goal had been achieved.

Regardless of whether Rong Peilan would be sent back or not, there was no way she could marry into the Xinling Marquis Mansion again.

As for what Rong Peilan would face if she was sent back, that was not within her consideration.

Song almost fainted several times, and pointed at Xie Shuning on the ground with trembling fingers, "Do you know that you will kill the whole family!"

Xie Shuning pouted, "If I marry him, my whole family will be killed."

In the previous life, the Xinling Marquis Mansion fell, and Ji Yunzhang was unable to carry anything, could not lift anything with his hands, and could do nothing but eat, drink and have fun.

My father ran around to find a job for Ji Yunzhang, but he caused a disaster and almost implicated the Xie family.

In the end, he relied on the old marquis's favor and became a small soldier in Chonghuamen.

She never wanted to go through the days of hunger again.

Xie Qingde pinched his brows. The quarrel between mother and daughter made him very irritated. His niece had been carried into the Marquis' Mansion, but they had no idea what was going on there.

He slammed the table impatiently, "Have you found out the news? What's going on in the Marquis' Mansion?!"

"My lord! My lord!" The servant ran back from the Marquis's residence breathlessly, sweating profusely. "The Marquis's residence held the ceremony as usual, and the prince held his cousin in his arms while performing the ceremony!"

Xie Qingde frowned and pursed his lips.

It was a complete mismatch, but no one from the Marquis' Mansion came to hold anyone accountable. Instead, they went straight into the hall and completed the ceremony. Now he had no idea what the Marquis' Mansion was doing.

"It's over, it's over, it's over!" Song felt that her vision was getting darker and there was no turning back after the wedding.

She began to regret spoiling her daughter to such an extreme degree, allowing her to do such a big thing!

Song was so angry that she slapped her thigh and said, "You are as stupid as a pig! You gave such a good marriage to Rong Peilan, what are you going to do now!"

Xie Shuning's mind was filled with the scene of her first visit to the old lady Kang's birthday in her previous life. "My daughter thinks that the brother of the Kang family is very good. He is talented and handsome."

When Song heard her words, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

The Xinling Marquis's mansion was filled with joy and happiness; even the guard dogs in the mansion had red silk tied around their backs.

Inside the bridal chamber, the bride lay quietly on the bed. The veil on her head was gone. Her plain face did not match the complicated wedding dress at all. How could the bride not put on any makeup on her wedding day?

Mrs. Zhong was furious. The bride had been replaced. This was such an unheard-of thing that actually happened in their family.

If the Xie family looked down on them, they should have said so earlier. Would it be a slap in their face to just give them a random girl? !
The groom Ji Yunzhang didn't care at all. To him, it didn't matter who he married. Perhaps this fatherless and motherless orphan could save him some unnecessary trouble.

Rong Peilan was still sleeping on the bed, and the maid who came with her as a dowry was kneeling on the ground tremblingly.

Zhong, "Tell me! What happened? Why did the bride change?"

Yuzhu nervously counted on her fingers, and the eldest girl told her that if the Marquis's Mansion asked about it, she should frame the cousin for everything.

She lowered her head and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, it was my cousin who secretly changed her clothes..."

Ji Yunzhang glanced at the maid on the ground and said, "Replacing someone on the wedding day, it seems that you are the cousin's accomplice?"

Yuzhu was so frightened that she started shaking immediately. If this news got back to the Xie family, not only her, but also her parents would be killed.

"no no!"

Ji Yunzhang's voice turned cold, "That's strange, how could Miss Cousin be so powerful and replace Miss Xie without anyone noticing."

Yuzhu stuttered, unable to find the words to respond, "Yes, yes..."

Ji Yunzhang was impatient, "You think you can get away with this trick? Why don't you pack up your things and go back to the Xie family!"

Yuzhu thanked him profusely and hurriedly introduced the new house. This matter was full of loopholes. How could a servant like her influence her master? Being sent back at this juncture was just what she wanted. It would be better for her to return to the Xie family earlier, after all, there was still the eldest daughter in front of her.

Mrs. Zhong frowned and looked at Rong Peilan on the couch, "Send this girl back?"

Ji Yunzhang grabbed a red date and threw it into his mouth. "After sending this back, do you think your son can still find a wife?"

Zhong shouted, "How can there be no evidence?! So the Xie family can get away with it completely?"

He raised his eyebrows in disbelief, "Switch back Miss Xie?"

Mrs. Zhong snorted, "I can't afford to be the daughter-in-law of the Xie family."

Ji Yunzhang changed his posture and lay sideways, continuing to peel peanuts and eat, "Then don't change, just this one, I've already worshipped it."

The tone is as casual and simple as saying "How's the weather?"

Turning his head to see Mrs. Zhong with a frown on her face, Ji Yunzhang knew what she was worried about. He patted the peanut skins on his hands, stood up and massaged Mrs. Zhong's shoulders.

"Look, mother. She is wearing a wedding dress, but there is no wedding crown on her head and no red makeup on her face."

As he said this, his eyes moved to the pair of embroidered shoes on the footrest again. "Even the shoes are so old that you can't even tell the color. You can tell at a glance that someone was knocked unconscious and stuffed in here."

"My son has checked it just now. The dowry sent over is all real. It is obvious that it is prepared by the Xie family for the legitimate daughter."

"Then Miss Xie didn't want to marry my son, so she planned this. Your son has been despised to this extent, so don't bother with it."

"Besides, our family doesn't need the help of the Yue family. You have heard about what the young master of the Xie family is like. If we are really brothers-in-law, we will have to pave the way for such a person."

"Now that the bride has changed, she is no longer a member of the Xie family. This is perfect. She won't try to control us in the future."

Mrs. Zhong was speechless. She had lowered her standards and chosen carefully, just to find a virtuous daughter-in-law, but in the end she was tricked by a little girl.

Ji Yunzhang further dispelled her concerns, "Do you remember the brilliant Mingshi Jushi you mentioned?"

Zhong didn't understand.

"Xie's cousin Rong Peilan is the daughter of Mingshi layman Rong Pingyuan."
