The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife-Chapter 2352 - 23054: Schemes

"Brother-in-law, you still have a way!"

"Learn from it." Ye Zi’an knocked on his head, "In the future, whether in Cangzhou or elsewhere, you must think more and think deeply."

"Yes, I got it."

The marriage between Yang Qingtong and Linyu was set for January 20. This meant Yang Qingtong didn’t have enough leave and could only write back to his chief to ask for more leave. As for the matters in Cangzhou, other officials would watch over them, sending messages to the Capital City if anything urgent came up.

Since the date was set, the whole festive period was busy and bustling.

Soon it was January 20.

Since the Yang Family was the bridegroom this time, it was not appropriate to hold the ceremony at Prince An’s Mansion again. Yang Dachuan arranged for a courtyard in the Capital City. Although it was just a two-entry courtyard, it was home.

Yang Dachuan had long-term plans, thinking that if Yang Family members had good knowledge in the future and wanted to take the imperial exams, there would be no need to rent a house or stay in a hostel; they could stay here.

Yang Chuxia had said it was fine to stay at Prince An’s Mansion, but Yang Dachuan felt staying there was not a long-term solution; over time, it could cause misunderstandings.

Thus, Yang Chuxia let him have his way.

In the morning, Yang Qingtong led a group first to the State Duke of Defense’s mansion to welcome the bride. The group was still the young masters of the Capital City, some were there because of Prince An and Marquis Changning, and others due to the State Duke of Defense.

Upon arriving at the State Duke’s mansion, Yang Qingtong found that there were actually two teams blocking the door; one led by the young master from Prince He’s family, and the other by the Prince of Yueluo Kingdom with his attendants. The team led by the young master from Prince He’s family was because Luo Linhao had taken his sweetheart, while the Prince of Yueluo Kingdom was purely there to make things difficult.

Thus, this wedding procession was much more difficult than Luo Linhao’s, involving dueling in couplets, painting, martial arts, cricket fighting, and so on. Anything the young masters could conceive, they practically played through.

If not for Luo Linhao stepping in to pull these people away, missing the auspicious hour would have been inevitable.

The wedding sedan chair took a loop around the Capital City before entering Yang Family. Before the ceremony, the Emperor and Empress’s gifts arrived: a pair of dragon and phoenix jade Ruyi scepters, royal gifts not easily bestowed.

Some envied, some were jealous, all marveling at Yang Qingtong’s good fortune, a humble county officer receiving the Emperor’s gifts, truly enviable.

Under the hazy moonlight, the new room that should have been lively was now incredibly quiet.

"Prince, isn’t there something wrong?" The Prince of Yueluo Kingdom, who should have been at the post house, appeared in Yang Family’s harem at that moment.

"What’s wrong?"

"It’s so quiet."

"Are you stupid?" The Prince of Yueluo Kingdom slapped his attendant, "Everyone was drugged, how could it not be quiet?"

"Ah, true."

The attendant scratched his head, feeling uneasy; he somehow felt something was off.

While he pondered, his prince had already pushed the door open.

When the Prince of Yueluo Kingdom entered the room, the flickering red candles suddenly went out.

The prince’s legs trembled for a moment but thought since he was here, he needed to carry on with the plan.

But before he reached the bed, he suddenly felt dizzy and then lost consciousness.

As for his attendants, they were all simultaneously knocked down.

In the Yang Family side room, Luo Linfei was sitting inside.

"Are you sure you want to go personally? You could just lock him up for the night."

Luo Linfei cast a sidelong glance at Yang Chuxia, "Don’t pretend to persuade me, it’s annoying. You’re more aware than anyone of the foul customs of the Yueluo Kingdom. They wouldn’t care whether a woman has been married or not. Although he didn’t succeed tonight, once he possesses the intent, he’ll continue to harass Linyu. So the most effective solution is for me and him to seal the deal, then quickly marry. Our Great Zhou would definitely not allow him to marry two betrothed women."
