The joy in Zhou Meng's heart was indescribable. He used all of his willpower to control the urge to rush towards Qin Yining and take her for himself.
No rush, no rush. She was his tonight!
"Quickly tell the First Consort, Second Consort, Third Consort, and Fourth Consort to get out!"
Now that Zhou Meng had achieved his goal, he began to do his best to please the beauty. As he ordered the attendants behind him, he looked affectionately at Qin Yining. "In the future, This King will only have Miss Qin as his consort. This King does not want any other women!"
Qin Yining sneered inwardly. He could easily abandon the women who had lived with him for so many years and had given birth to his children. Especially Fourth Consort. She had just given birth to a little princess for him and was in confinement. Now, she was about to be chased out?
It could be seen that Zhou Meng's women were also a group of pitiful people!
"Wang Ye." Qin Yining lowered her head and said shyly, "In the past, I said that because I wanted to test if Wang Ye was sincere to me. Now, it seems that Wang Ye is truly devoted to me. Actually, I don't dislike interacting with other sisters. Wang Ye, please don't chase them out. Otherwise, I will be alone in the palace in the future and won't have anyone to talk to. "
When Zhou Meng heard this, he was stunned at first. Then, he smiled. The gaze he looked at Qin Yining became especially gentle.
"Miss Qin is indeed knowledgeable and sensible. You can see the big picture. However, since This King has promised you, how can he go back on his word? He said that he would dismiss the harem for you, so he will do so. "As he said this, he waved his hand. The attendants immediately accepted the order and were about to leave.
Qin Yining hurriedly said, "Wang Ye, please don't do this. Since I agreed to marry Wang Ye, it means that I have accepted everything about Wang Ye, including Wang Ye's family. They are all women who have given birth to Wang Ye's children and have contributed greatly. If Wang Ye's clansmen knew about this, they might not understand Wang Ye's infatuation and criticize Wang Ye behind his back. Then, wouldn't I become the person who caused Wang Ye to bear infamy like Daji and Bao Si? Wang Ye, please take back your order.... "
Qin Yining as she said this and then curtsied.
How could Zhou Meng bear to let her? He hurriedly went forward to support her with both hands.
Qin Yining shyly avoided his hands. She lowered her head and shyly took a step back. "Wang Ye, can you agree to my request?"
Zhou Meng lowered his head to look at Qin Yining's jet-black hair. The fondness in his heart deepened. He held back his laughter and reluctantly said, "Alright, This King will agree to your request. However, This King still doesn't know your maiden name. You are going to marry This King. You can't possibly wait until the bridal chamber to tell me, right? "
Qin Yining sweetly said, "Wang Ye, don't say that. My maiden name is Xiao Xi. It's the same Xiao Xi as the babbling brook."
When she was young, her adoptive mother picked her up by the brook and named her Xiao Xi. Now, she obviously didn't want to reveal her real name to others, so she casually said this name.
"Xiao Xi? Xiao Xi … "Zhou Meng savored Qin Yining's name and immediately felt that this name was very suitable for her." As gentle as water, as beautiful as water. Your name is as beautiful and gentle as you. "
Qin Yining was so disgusted that she wanted to vomit. However, she still lowered her head "shyly", not wanting Zhou Meng to see her emotions.
While the two were talking, Uncle Arhan had already clenched his fists with a complicated expression. Several times, he wanted to rush up and kill Zhou Meng, this sex fiend.
However, he was worried that if he killed Zhou Meng, he, Qin Yining, Su Rina, and Wu Lan would all be killed immediately. The tribesmen would also be robbed by the army and the Xiyue tribesmen.
Qin Yining had sacrificed so much for the tribesmen of the Minuo tribe. Was he really going to destroy it because of his impulse?
However, if he did nothing, Uncle Arhan really couldn't stand it anymore. How could he let such a pure and good girl like Qin Yining serve such a bastard?
At this time, a maid came in with a brand-new wedding dress and jewelry.
"Wang Ye, the maids are going to serve Miss Rong and dress her up. Wang Ye, please go and get ready. "
Seeing that it was getting late, the ceremony had already begun. Zhou Meng was in a very good mood because he was about to marry the beauty, so he was very tolerant of the maids. He immediately nodded with a smile and went to get dressed.
Qin Yining gave Uncle Arhan a look, then said to the maid who came in with the clothes, "You can all leave. I have people here to serve me."
"Yes." The maid didn't dare to refute and immediately bowed and left.
When there was no one else in the hall, Qin Yining quickly said to Uncle Arhan, "When the ceremony starts, immediately take Su Rina and Wu Lan away quietly and go back to the tribesmen."
Uncle Arhan said anxiously, "What about you?"
He was too anxious, so his voice was a bit loud.
Qin Yining hurriedly put her slender index finger to her lips, then said in a low voice, "From now on, you have to advance and retreat together with Lu Heng and think of a way to protect the tribesmen. You don't have to worry about me."
"You …" Uncle Arhan wasn't stupid. When he saw Qin Yining's expression, he had already guessed her intentions. He immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, you can't do this."
"Right now, we have no other choice." Qin Yining said calmly, "When I do things, I always think about the smallest sacrifice and the biggest gain. Listen to me and don't make it difficult for me."
Seeing Qin Yining's resolute expression, Uncle Arhan wanted to persuade her, but he couldn't say it.
Because he knew that Qin Yining was right. Right now, there really was no better way to solve the current situation. He also couldn't watch the other innocent tribesmen of the Minuo Tribe lose their lives because of this matter.
Uncle Arhan shook his head and fiercely despised himself in his heart. In the end, he was selfish. He didn't want to sacrifice more tribesmen, so he could only let Qin Yining, an outsider, sacrifice himself.
The guilt in his heart was like a pool of stagnant water that was about to drown him.
When Qin Yining saw that Uncle Arhan wasn't willing to move, she immediately said, "Back then, you said that whoever killed A Nari would be the chief of the Minuo Tribe. That's why Lu Heng and I became your chiefs. Don't tell me that you won't listen to the chief's words?"
This was the first time Qin Yining had used her status as the chief to pressure someone. However, she wasn't doing this for herself, but for the survival of all the tribesmen of the Minuo Tribe.
Uncle Arhan's tiger-like eyes were filled with tears. He gritted his teeth and nodded. "Yes, chief. No matter what happens, we won't forget you. You'll always be our chief. "
Seeing that he finally nodded, Qin Yining smiled and said, "Okay, remember what you said. When you go back, tell Lu Heng what I said."
As she spoke, she called Wu Lan and Su Rina to help her change her clothes and comb her hair.
The wedding dress prepared by the maids was a bright red cotton wedding dress. The style was not much different from that of Da Zhou and Dayan, but the embroidery on it was very simple. It seemed that they had found it on the spur of the moment and didn't have time to rush it. The jewelry was made of gold and precious stones. The craftsmanship was slightly rough, but the patterns on the totems showed some of the tribe's unique aura.
Qin Yining tied up her hair. She only wore a golden phoenix core in the middle. She didn't wear anything else. Then, she looked at the small mirror and began to put on makeup.
If nothing unexpected happened, this might be the last time she tidied up her makeup in this life.
Even if she died, she should die with dignity.
Looking at the blurry figure in the mirror, Qin Yining realized that she had really lost a lot of weight. Because she had lost weight, her eyes seemed bigger than before, and her complexion didn't look good.
She put on makeup for herself. Her slender eyebrows were thicker, and her lips were a bright red. Her complexion was appropriately decorated, and the shades were appropriate.
Although Wu Lan and Su Rina didn't understand what they were talking about, they had a premonition when they saw the sadness and determination in Qin Yining's eyes as she drew her eyebrows in the mirror.
The two of them also felt very sad.

At this moment, the tightly shut palace doors under the yellow mud walls slowly opened. Palace servants came out and quickly began to decorate the high platform in the square outside the palace doors.
Some Sunset Moon tribesmen passing by didn't understand what was going on and asked curiously. The palace servants said happily, "The Duke is going to marry the Goddess!"
"Is that so? Is that true?! "
The commoners were all overjoyed, because in the holy book of the Sunset Moon Sect, which they believed in, it said that when the Goddess arrived, she would bring a large amount of food and seeds, and would become their king's consort.
Now that the Goddess was willing to marry the Duke, it meant that the Duke was indeed the true king of Sunset Moon Sect, and those seeds were really meant for them!
The news spread like wildfire, and soon, many commoners gathered at the square to watch the commotion.
The Minuo tribesmen, who were still surrounded by soldiers in the camp, were puzzled when they saw the commoners leaving with their friends.
Lu Heng frowned worriedly. He had a bad premonition in his heart.
The commoners of Sunset Moon Sect were so solemn, and everyone looked as if they were celebrating the new year. This meant that what was about to happen was a great thing for the commoners.
What did the commoners of Sunset Moon Sect lack here? Wasn't it the food and seeds that they brought?
So many commoners were happy because they thought that they were going to get the seeds? Then what was it that allowed them to get these?
Lu Heng couldn't help but think of the prophecy in the holy book of the Sunset Moon Sect.
When he thought of this, the blood drained from his face.
"Could it be …" Qin Yining agreed to marry Zhou Meng?!
With this thought, Lu Heng quickly analyzed the current situation and Zhou Meng's character. He immediately guessed that Zhou Meng must be using the Minuo tribe as a threat.
Qin Yining was smart and kind. She definitely wouldn't cause the deaths of others for her own selfish reasons. Therefore, Qin Yining agreed for the survival of the Minuo tribe!
Could it be that this group of people were going to participate in some kind of ceremony?
