Tonight, the Provincial Governor's Manor of Sheng Province was very lively. It was filled with guests and hosts.
The Provincial Governor of Sheng Province was very fond of his only son. Almost every year, he would hold a grand wedding banquet for him.
It was a pity that although the young master of the Provincial Governor had many wives and concubines, none of them could give birth to a son or daughter for the Ma Clan.
The people of Sheng Province discussed in secret. It was most likely that the Ma Clan had done all sorts of evil deeds and the heavens were punishing them. They purposely caused the Ma Clan to die without descendants to rid the world of this scourge.
Of course, they were only discussing in secret. In Sheng Province, the Ma Clan was the local tyrant. They had to pay the taxes and give the gifts that they had to give. Once they disobeyed, a great disaster would befall them.
Provincial Governor's Manor.
"Congratulations, Lord Provincial Governor …"
"I hope Young Master Ma will have a son soon …"
"Everyone, don't stand on ceremony today. Drink to your heart's content!"
…
The guests that had entered the manor cupped their hands and congratulated.
After three rounds of drinking, the Provincial Governor of Sheng Province had finished dealing with the guests. He was a little tipsy and cupped his hands. "Everyone, continue. I will go and rest first."
He was supported back to his bedroom by the servants. When he closed the door and walked to the bedside, he discovered that there was already a person sitting at the table in the room.
It was an old man with white hair. He looked a little sloppy and was currently sitting there, looking at him with an indifferent gaze.
When he saw this unfamiliar old man, his body trembled and he immediately sobered up. He asked warily, "Who are you?"
The sloppy old man reached his hand into his bosom and took out a dark red pill. He looked at him and said, "Eat this."
He did not recognize this old man. A person that he did not recognize had appeared in his bedroom just like that.
The Provincial Governor of Sheng Province did not hesitate to turn and run out the door. As he ran, he shouted, "Help, help, there's an assassin!"
Just as he shouted, he felt a sudden pain at the back of his neck. He could not help but open his mouth in pain. He felt something had entered his mouth and melted.
That thing tasted extremely bitter, so bitter that tears almost flowed down his face.
He squatted on the ground with tears and mucus flowing down his face. He stuck his finger into his throat as if he wanted to dig that thing out. However, he only retched a few times and did not vomit anything out.
He looked at the old man in horror and asked, "You, what did you give me to eat?"
The sloppy old man explained, "One-day Lifetaking Powder."
Not waiting for the Provincial Governor of Victory Province to ask again, he explained, "The Death Reaper in a Day is concocted using honey, snow pear, white rabbit, and celestial mountain snow lotus. It is a top-notch poison in the world. As the name suggests, if you are poisoned by this poison and don't receive the antidote within a day, your seven apertures will bleed, your intestines will rot, and you will eventually turn into a puddle of pus …"
Provincial Governor of Sheng Province paled, but he forced himself to maintain his expression. Looking at him, he said, "How can there be such a strange poison in this world? Do you think this official has grown up scared?"
The sloppy old man lightly tapped on his body, and the provincial governor of Sheng Province immediately knelt on the ground. The veins on his forehead bulged, and the blood vessels were like many earthworms wriggling on his forehead. He couldn't speak, and could only let out beast-like moans of pain from his throat.
Not long after, a wet spot appeared on the ground beneath him.
Some of it was sweat that seeped out from his body, some of it was urine …
The sloppy old man tapped on his body with slight disdain, and only then did he stop wriggling. However, he would still twitch from time to time …
"Do you believe me now?" The sloppy old man looked at him and said, "If you are a little more obedient, you will suffer less. You are already so old, yet you still don't understand this simple logic …"
Provincial Governor of Sheng Province's complexion was completely pale. Using his last bit of strength, he asked, "You, who are you …"
… …
In a certain courtyard in the Provincial Governor's Manor, the young master's drunkenness had already completely dissipated.
His face was filled with terror. Looking at the shady old man opposite him, he asked with a trembling voice, "You, what did you do to me earlier?"
Just now, this terrifying old man had only lightly tapped on his lower abdomen, and a certain part of him had immediately become as hard as iron. It was even more effective than those tiger and wolf medicines that he had eaten. But later on, he had tapped on the same place again, and then he had lost a great deal of energy, a piece of iron turning into cotton … Although he was usually very fast, he had never been this fast before.
He faintly felt that something extremely terrifying had happened to his body.
Chang De did not explain anything to him. He casually knocked him out and tossed him to the side.
Inside the room.
Li Yi put down the red veil, looked at Lin Wanru, and asked in concern, "Are you alright?"
Lin Wanru looked at him, and said, "If you had come a little later, something would have happened."
Li Yi was slightly astonished, and asked, "How did you guys come to the Provincial Governor's Manor?"
"You didn't receive that letter?" Lin Wanru looked at him and asked.
Li Yi shook his head, and said, "I saw the letter saying that you guys were trapped in the City of Sheng Province, so I immediately rushed over."
Lin Wanru looked at him, and asked, "Then how did you find this place?"
"I first took down the Provincial Governor's Manor, and then it would be easier to find you guys …" He let out a long sigh, and said, "Fortunately, I made it in time …"
When he had encountered Xiu 'er, Li Yi had not been in a hurry to ask about it. Only now did he know that they had originally been trapped in Sheng Province, and could not leave the city.
Later on, a few riots had erupted in the city, and they and the majority of the guards had been separated. Then, they had been seen by the son of the Provincial Governor, and had been brought to the Provincial Governor's Manor, almost half-invited and half-coerced, resulting in today's matter.
He rejoiced slightly. If he had been a little later, everything would have been too late.
Li Yi let out a sigh, and then he was in the mood to carefully examine her.
She was already twenty-four years old this year, and in the future, it was the age when women were in their prime. She did not have the immaturity of a young girl, nor did she have the maturity of a married woman. Rather, she had a different kind of grace in between.
Lin Wanru combed a strand of messy hair on her temple, and asked, "Do I look good?"
Li Yi was startled, and then said, "The way you look in a wedding dress … is very good."
She blinked her eyes, and then asked, "Do you like it?"
This time, Li Yi was startled for a longer time, and then he nodded slightly, "I like it."
Speaking the truth, and being frank.
Only from an aesthetic point of view.
That was all.
"A woman can only wear a wedding dress once in her life." Lin Wanru stood up, and slowly said, "The moment they put on the wedding dress is the moment they are the most beautiful."
Li Yi looked at her, and said, "This time doesn't count. This wedding dress is not very good, you should take it off …"
Lin Wanru looked down, and then she pinched the hem of her dress, and turned in a circle in front of Li Yi, and then she shook her head, and said, "This wedding dress … I actually quite like it, and I have dressed up for so long, I can't waste my makeup, and this wedding room is also very well decorated …"
"I have worn it …" She looked at the wedding dress on her, and then looked at Li Yi, and suddenly said, "Why don't you marry me!"
