"Ah, woo woo woo...! I can’t live, I can’t live, I just can’t live."
In the room, Situtu Qinger was wailing, smashing everything in the room, lying on the bed crying so hard that the sky seed to darken.
With such a scandal occurring at Zhang Jun’s Mansion, Situ Yongjie felt very humiliated, so he sent people to take Situtu Qinger back to her room and had to also try to soothe the guests’ emotions. After all, with such a scandal, it was he, the host, who needed comfort the most.
However, to avoid people speaking too harshly, Situ Yongjie had to suppress his anger and force himself to speak good words to everyone.
The guests attending the wedding weren’t necessarily all friends; among them were many sworn enemies. The atmosphere among court officials was such that, even if one hated soone deeply, they still had to greet them amicably on the surface. This was the court, where only the fittest survived.
Those who only know how to act on impulse, or consider themselves too superior to interact with others, often find themselves eting swift ends, either by losing their positions or being falsely accused without reason, ending up as wronged souls in prison. Such cases were countless in Moli Country.
Having been in the court for a long ti, Situ Yongjie naturally understood this principle, so even when his mood was at its worst, knowing that others were mocking the General’s Mansion, he worked hard to suppress his feelings, unwilling to offend anyone.
"Second sister, what exactly happened?" asked Situ Dieer, who had arrived after hearing the news, feeling very puzzled.
Situtu Qinger, her hair disheveled and her face streaked with tears, had reddened and swollen eyes, a red nose; sobbing, she said, "I don’t know what happened. Clearly, after putting on the wedding dress, I was waiting in the room for the Fourth Prince to co for the wedding, but sohow, I inexplicably fell asleep. When I woke up, it turned into this... Ah, woo woo woo! How can I face anyone in the future?" At this point, Situtu Qinger was choked with sobs.
Not only did the marriage to the Fourth Prince not happen, but a servant ruined her reputation, making her feel utterly devastated.
The man who destroyed Situtu Qinger’s innocence was executed by Situ Yongjie after all the guests had left the mansion. The audacity of that wretched servant to touch his daughter was truly unforgivable.
Situ Dieer caught onto a key point: "Wedding dress? Second sister, where is your wedding dress?"
"The wedding dress, wasn’t it on ...?" As Situtu Qinger spoke, she looked down and instantly widened her eyes: "My... my wedding dress, where is it?"
The wedding dress, hand-sewn by Auntie Tang before she passed away, was one for each of the three daughters, each with unique symbols on it.
Situ Dieer: "Could it have been left in the backyard?"
When the incident happened, Situtu Qinger was completely unclothed. Could it be that in a mont of panic, she didn’t bring the wedding dress back?
At that mont, Situtu Qinger’s mind was in a complete ss, unable to recall the situation clearly.
Seeing this, Situ Dieer quickly sent people to the backyard to search for the wedding dress in the room where Situtu Qinger had been, but after searching back and forth, it was nowhere to be found.
Suddenly, Situ Dieer clapped her hands and exclaid, "Oh no."
The crying Xuexue was startled, sniffing and asking tearfully, "Third sister, what are you doing?"
"Second sister, it’s bad. We’ve been set up."
"Hmm?"
"Second sister, you might not know this! At the Auspicious ti, in full view of everyone, they all saw a bride get on the sedan chair."
In the end, fearing that Situtu Qinger wouldn’t believe her, Situ Dieer added, "Dieer saw it with her own eyes as well. At the ti, I thought the bride was second sister, and offered a few words of congratulations. However, the strangest thing was that the bride was unconscious. Where did it go wrong? What on earth happened?"
