Chapter 324: Bloodshed at the Wedding
Chapter 324: Bloodshed at the Wedding
"I remember that the maids, servants and guards we hired were all helping in the outer courtyard, and the inner courtyard was still staffed by people from the Duke's Mansion. How could she have come to Wei Lin's yard?" Fu Ran sensed something was wrong.
"There should be someone guarding Weilin's room. Where is that person?"
Qiao'er went to look for her immediately, and when she found the nanny, she said that someone was looking for her to go to Qingfuyuan. As a result, she hurried to Qingfuyuan but found nothing, so she hurried back.
Wei Lin also came back, and with her was a group of people.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? You don't look well." Wei Lin asked.
Fu Ran smiled softly.
"It's okay. I just asked the master of the Imperial Observatory to find a good location for you to get married. He said that it would be best for you to prepare in Chaoguangyuan before you get married. This way, your marriage will be harmonious and you will live happily together forever."
"Really?" Wei Lin didn't doubt it.
She knew that her second sister-in-law would definitely stand on her side.
"That's fine. Last time, I got married in my own courtyard, but Shen Yan and I ended up getting divorced. It's not auspicious to say that. Well, let's go to Chaoguangyuan. Come on, move all the things we need to Chaoguangyuan."
"Yes."
Fu Ran asked them to go first while she would take care of the aftermath.
As soon as Wei Lin left, Fu immediately asked the court physician Dr. Feng, female physician Su and others to check the house thoroughly to prevent anyone from tampering with it.
As a result, it was discovered that the rouge that the bride was going to use was poisoned.
"It's aphrodisiac poison." Doctor Feng said sternly, "Who would put aphrodisiac poison on the bride's things on a day like this? It's sinister."
"Yes, this poison is extremely vicious, madam. Fortunately, you discovered it early. Otherwise, once the young lady is infected, she will most likely behave rudely even in public." Female Doctor Su did not expect that someone would dare to use such a poison in the Duke's Mansion.
You really think your life is too long.
"Keep this matter secret for now. I will immediately send someone to find the person who poisoned me."
Fu Ran found Cheng Jiang, A Lin, and Gao Mian——
She even offered up the suspects.
"Check the guest list to see if there are any members of Xun's family, especially Yuchi Xinxin."
"Yes, I'll check it out right away." Gao Mian said.
"Also, if she's not on the list, check the servants borrowed from other mansions. The back of the maid who just walked out looks quite like Yuchi Xinxin."
"Ma'am, rest assured, we will find the person."
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, all processes continued.
There was no disturbance from Qingfu Hall.
Even Wei Xuan was informed by Gao Mian.
Wei Lin's makeup has been prepared, including her wedding dress and veil.
With Quanfuren by her side, Wei Lin was not as upset as she was when she got married for the first time. Her mood had changed drastically.
For the first time, she was excited and a little scared.
From being a pampered young lady in a duke's mansion, she married into the Shen family and she didn't know if she could get used to it.
That time, she agreed to marry Shen Yan on her own.
But she was afraid that she might have mistaken the person.
In short, I feel both excited and scared.
This time was different. She had no fear in her heart, only beautiful expectations for her future life.
She believed that this time, she and Shen Yan would be able to live happily together until old age.
There was a loud sound of gongs and drums outside the Duke's Mansion.
The wedding party from the Duke Shen’s Mansion has arrived.
Wei Lin was helped out.
Yuchi Xinxin watched Wei Lin being helped out without any hesitation.
Everything is normal and terrible.
She poisoned the rouge that the bride must use.
There is no way Wei Lin wouldn't use it.
But why was she fine?
Shen Yan came to pick up the bride.
All he saw was Wei Lin.
She married him at the beginning, their marriage was so simple, and there was no her in his eyes at all.
Regardless of whether she had schemed against Shen Yan or not, since she married him, she would be his wife.
How could he do this to her?
Why do all the good things stay away from her?
Why can they be happy but she can't.
"No, it's impossible."
Yuchi Xinxin looked a little dazed.
"Over there--." Ah Lin saw it, and strode over with Cheng Jiang to catch the man.
Yuchi Xinxin was shocked, knowing that the matter must have been exposed.
She can't be caught.
"It's all your fault." Suddenly, she took out a short knife from her sleeve, "Yuchi Huanhuan, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to go through this."
Her short knife stabbed at Fu Ran without warning.
Fu Ran was on guard.
But what she was on guard against was someone doing something bad to Wei Lin.
She had no idea that anyone was trying to harm her.
Cheng Jiang saw from behind, the footsteps were very fast, but he was still a little far away.
"Fu Ran--" he screamed, "Get out of the way."
Wei Xuan was on the other side of Wei Lin. They walked from the left to the right of Wei Lin and sent her out.
It was too late for Fu Ran to hide.
The next moment, her arm hurt.
The man was already spinning.
Everyone watched as Wei Xuan grabbed Wei Lin with one hand and threw her into Shen Yan's arms.
He pulled Fu Ran into his arms.
Then, he kicked Yuchi Xinxin hard and sent her flying.
All this happened in just a moment, and some people didn't even know what was happening.
"Damn it." Wei Xuan's face was gloomy.
Cheng Jiang and A Lin had already arrived. Yuchi Xinxin was knocked away and fell heavily, falling into a coma.
The knife in his hand also fell to the ground.
"Someone, come and check if there is poison on the knife." Wei Xuan ordered.
Doctor Feng immediately checked the knife to see if there was any poison.
Fortunately, it's not poisonous.
Yuchi Xinxin's knife was originally aimed at Fu Ran's chest, but Wei Xuan pulled her back at the critical moment, allowing her to avoid the knife, which only cut her sleeve and left a wound on her arm.
It hurts a bit, but it's bearable.
Wei Xuan had already picked her up.
"Take her away, don't let her die easily." Every word Wei Xuan said was filled with coldness.
The guards of the Duke's Mansion immediately took Yuchi Xinxin away.
Wei Xuan was about to carry Fu Ran into the house to bandage him.
"Don't." Fu Ran patted him, "I'm fine, it's just a minor injury. Wei Lin will be leaving soon. It won't be too late for me to bandage it after I send her out."
The auspicious time has arrived.
Wei Lin's wedding date cannot be changed.
Wei Lin was also shocked by this sudden move. She didn't expect Yuchi Xinxin to be so brave.
"How ridiculous! Yuchi Xinxin, that little bitch, wanted to ruin my wedding and even attack my second sister-in-law. She really deserves to die. Second sister-in-law, there are so many people here to see me off. It doesn't matter. Your injury is more important."
Wei Lin didn't dare let her second sister-in-law stay.
Look at my second brother’s face, it’s already so dark that a storm is about to come.
Moreover, my second sister-in-law was injured and bleeding, and her sleeves were stained red, which looked shocking.
At this time, the bridesmaid shouted.
"When a wedding is red, the bride and groom will have a prosperous life."
