Li Yi also felt that it was a bit wasteful.
The guests had been invited, the banquet had been held, the wedding clothes had been worn, and the wedding house had been decorated. If nothing happened, it would be a waste of the wealth that the governor of Sheng Province had plundered from the people. It would be a shame to the people of Sheng Province, and a shame to the people of the world.
But compared to when Drunken Ink Ruoqing got married, it was still a bit shabby. He looked around and asked, "Isn't it too hasty?"
Lin Wanru sat on the edge of the bed and looked away from him. She said, "This time, I had thought that I would never see you again."
Li Yi sighed softly. In this world, there were many things that were destined. If one really had to talk about it, the main culprit for them being trapped in Sheng Province was actually him …
So all of this could be said to be his own doing.
There was a relaxed smile on Lin Wanru's face. She said, "At that time, I thought, if I died like this, it would be such a pity. I haven't married yet, haven't waited for two years when no one wants me to marry you …"
"Some things should not be delayed." She turned to look at Li Yi and said, "There is no time like the present. Instead of waiting for two years, it is better to do it now."
She walked to the table and poured two cups of wine. She handed one to him and said, "Will you marry me?"
Li Yi took the wine cup. Her wrist went around Li Yi's wrist, and the two drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
He looked at her and said apologetically, "I am sorry to have made you wait so long."
In fact, regarding this matter, he had already confessed to Ruyi before he came.
The debt of love that he had caused, he had to pay it back even if he had to kneel. Of course, the bite mark on his arm from Ruyi was still there.
When they crossed cups of wine, the moment they raised their head, Li Yi seemed to see a familiar scene out of the corner of his eye. When he put down the wine cup, he realized that it was not an illusion.
Miss.Liu crossed her arms over her chest and leaned against the door, looking at him calmly.
She looked at him, then looked at Lin Wanru, and asked, "Should I come a day later?"
Outside the yard.
Xu looked at Chang De and asked, "Does this count as being caught red-handed in bed?"
Naturally, Chang would not be so bored as to answer his question.
Xu didn't expect him to answer. He shook his head and said, "Tsk tsk, I'm still one step too late. I can't even be ranked fifth now …"
…
Li Yi did not expect Ruyi to arrive so timely. He did not know that after they left, she sent a letter to Liuzhou and that Miss.Liu would travel day and night to come here personally because of that letter.
Even if he didn't find the Provincial Governor's manor today, with Ruyi around, Wanru and the others would be fine.
After all, she would always appear when she should and shouldn't appear.
The Provincial Governor of Shengzhou was already under Xu's control. After eating an overdose of White Rabbit Creamy Herb, complemented by Xu's unique secret technique, he was not afraid that he would not listen to him after tasting that kind of feeling that was worse than death.
As for the son of the provincial governor who had committed all kinds of crimes, he had also paid a heavy price for offending the narrow-minded Director Chang. From a certain point of view, he could no longer be called a 'son'.
Li Yi lay on the bed, his hands behind his head, a trace of fear still lingering in his heart.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong in the end. It was just that Ruyi's appearance was a little too untimely. Otherwise, he would probably be able to talk to Wanru all night, talking about life and ideals …
Before coming, he had actually thought of many ways, but he had not expected that the one who was seduced in the end would be himself.
At home, Ruyi's martial arts were too high, and he couldn't beat her. As the Empress, Ruoqing was in charge of hundreds of thousands of people. Drunk Mo always liked to be at the top, and only Ruoqing listened to him.
Shopkeeper Lin was indeed the same Shopkeeper Lin. If she was as domineering as before, her husband's authority might still be weak in the future …
In another room, Miss.Liu sat in front of the table, hugging Autumn Water, lost in thought. There was a knock on the door.
She stood up and walked over to open the door. Lin Wanru came in with a quilt in her arms and said, "I've experienced many things in the past few days. I feel a little uneasy. I'll sleep with you tonight …"
Miss.Liu didn't respond, but she didn't refuse either. With her personality, this was a tacit agreement.
Lin Wanru walked to the bed, made the bed, and sat down next to her again.
In fact, the two of them had a very good relationship, although neither of them liked to take the initiative to talk.
Tonight, the one who broke the silence was Lin Wanru.
She thought for a while, looked up at Miss.Liu and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't tell you about this."
"Everyone can see what happened between you two." Miss.Liu looked at her and said, "Before I came, Duaner asked me if he could call Aunt Wanru mother when she comes back …"
Lin Wanru smiled and asked, "Did Duaner ask when he could call Aunt mother?"
"No."
Miss.Liu put Autumn Water down and picked it up again. She said calmly, "Don't drag me into your matters."
"Ruyi." Lin Wanru looked at her and suddenly said, "How long are you going to wait?"
Miss.Liu held Autumn Water's hand tightly and said calmly, "I'm not waiting for anything."
"I've searched for her thousands of times, but when I look back, she's in the dim light …" Lin Wanru had a faint smile on her face and said, "This is the best Upper Yuan poem I've ever heard …"
Miss.Liu stood up and said, "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep."
Lin Wanru watched her walk to the bedside, sighed softly, blew out the light, and walked over slowly. When she walked to the bedside, Miss.Liu had already closed her eyes.
She took off her clothes and lay down beside her. When her breathing began to stabilize, a pair of eyes slowly opened beside her.
…
Xiu 'er had cried for too long last night. When she woke up in the morning, although her face was full of smiles, her eyes were still swollen.
Miss.Liu woke up even later than Li Yi. She had two panda eyes and her complexion was worse than Xiu 'er's. She probably didn't sleep well last night.
Li Yi gave her two hard-boiled eggs. He wanted her to roll them in her eyes to get rid of the dark circles, but she actually peeled the eggs and ate them.
Miss.Liu only ate the egg whites. Li Yi ate the remaining egg yolks and cooked two more for her, specifically telling her that they weren't for eating.
After saving Wanru, they should have immediately set off to go back.
However, since they were already here, if they didn't kill some Daoist nuns along the way, Xu and Elder Tian wouldn't be in a good mood.
So this morning, Xu Zheng brought people to occupy the branch of Holy Religion in Sheng State.
They simply moved to the branch of Holy Religion and waited for the Daoist nuns.
… …
Outside the capital, the one hundred and fifty thousand garrison soldiers of the capital had been in a stalemate with the fifty thousand Imperial Army soldiers for more than two months.
Although there was a huge disparity between the two sides in terms of military strength, it was still not enough to take down a country's capital with just this amount of military strength.
If one wanted to use up the food supplies of the capital by surrounding it so that the city would collapse on its own, one would have to be prepared for a prolonged battle.
There was enough food in the capital to last for several more months, but the one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers outside the city also needed food supplies. In the last two months, Zhao Zheng had scraped the ground, giving the provincial governors of ten-some provinces a strict order that they had to ensure a sufficient supply of food.
In a tent, a purple-clothed man looked at Fang Yu and said, "Protector, for some reason, we lost contact with our branch in Sheng State half a month ago. There's also been no news from the blue-clothed emissaries."
"Sheng State …"
A hint of confusion appeared on Fang Yu's face. The entire capital region was now under their control. With a single order, he could command an army of one hundred thousand soldiers. Who would dare to make trouble for the Holy Religion in Sheng State?
It had been a very long time since a branch of the Holy Religion had become uncontactable. Although this routine was very familiar, he didn't believe that anyone would be so bold as to act so atrociously here.
He glanced at the purple-clothed emissary and said, "Go see the branch in Sheng State for yourself."
