I traveled through time with my best friend.

Chapter 271 Wedding (3)

"Humph, suffer a loss?" Jia He walked slowly to An'er as if she had heard a joke, with a sharp look in her eyes, "No one can take advantage of me here. Men are just that. As long as you satisfy their desires, they are easy to control. And Wang Zijun, doesn't he just want to get rid of Wang Ziyan and take charge of the Marquis' Mansion? I can satisfy him. Tell me, who is taking advantage of whom between us?"

After hearing this, An'er looked up at Jiahe and said softly, "Since the princess is sure, then I won't say anything more."

Jia He looked at An Er with a softened look in her eyes, and said softly, "An Er, I know you care about me, but there are some things that you need to fight for with your own hands to get what you want."

"I understand. I will always be by your side."

"Hello, An'er." Jia He patted An'er on the shoulder, and then continued, "How is the investigation on Baishan going?"

An'er's face changed slightly, and he said, "Princess, your guess is correct. There is indeed someone alive in Baishan Village. That person is the one who was mistaken for Jiang Xue some time ago. He is now in Wanhe Hall."

"Wanhetang?" Jiahe frowned slightly. She had heard of this Wanhetang before. It was a clinic that appeared out of nowhere in the past few months, but it was not known whether it was a clinic or not.

"Send someone to investigate Wanhetang. I want to know if Wanhetang has any relationship with Lin Yiyi."

"Yes."

Lin Yanfu stood at the door and listened to the joy gradually fade away. His eyes lit up.

Jiang Jian suddenly asked from behind: "Why, are you crying?"

Lin Yanfu quickly lowered his head, and quickly stroked his eyes with his hands. Then he raised his slightly red eyes and looked at Jiang Jian, "You will feel uncomfortable later."

"Hahaha, Xue'er is getting married, I'm so happy, why would I cry?"

Lin Yanfu pointed at Jiang Jian and said helplessly: "You are just being stubborn."

Jiang Jian looked into the distance with a smile on his face and said, "But it's almost past the auspicious time, why hasn't Pei Zhijin come yet?"

Lin Yanfu looked into the distance and said, "Could it be that he was tripped by something?"

Jiang Jian waved to the housekeeper, "Send someone to check if they are still on the way?"

"Yes."

About an incense stick later, the servant came running over hurriedly from a distance.

Jiang Jian put his hands on his hips and asked hurriedly, "Are you here?"

The servant frowned and shook his head, saying, "I walked a long way and didn't see anyone coming to pick up the bride along the way."

"Hiss..." Jiang Jian frowned, "What the hell is this kid doing?"

In the backyard, Zhu Feng looked at Jiang Xue anxiously and said, "Why hasn't Lord Pei come yet? It's almost past the auspicious time."

Jiang Xue drank her tea calmly and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's not even dark yet."

"Miss...it will be really late if we wait until dark." Zhu Feng said with a frown.

Jiang Xue put down the teacup and said, "Wait a little longer. Today is such an important day, he will definitely come."

"Yes."

In the front hall, Jiang Jian kept sending people to Pei Mansion to inquire, but the news they came back was that Lord Pei had not returned yet. He then sent people to the Northern Pacification Office and the Imperial Prison to inquire, but Wen Yu and Wen Chuan were nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Jian angrily put the teacup heavily on the table covered with red cloth and said angrily: "This Pei Zhijin, housekeeper, go tell him that this marriage is off."

"This... Master, the guests at the door are watching us. If we let it go, I'm afraid it will cause criticism."

"Yes, Master." Aunt Zheng said at the side. Although she was very anxious, she looked calm and said to Jiang Jian, "Let's wait a little longer, just in case it's something important."

Lin Yanfu echoed from the side: "Yes, Lord Pei doesn't look like that kind of person."

Jiang Jian didn't want this marriage to end, so he nodded and said, "Well, let's wait a little longer."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of gongs outside. Liu the Matchmaker hurried in and apologized, "I'm here, I'm here. Sorry for delaying us for a while."

Aunt Zheng hurriedly walked up to Matchmaker Liu and whispered, "What has Lord Pei been doing that has delayed us for so long?"

"Well, it's a long story, let's just greet each other first."

Pei Zhijin walked in quickly in a groom's suit, his figure straight and tall, his eyes seemed anxious, and he bowed to Jiang Jian and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, General."

"You still remember to come here. Why don't you wait until dark to pick up the bride?" Jiang Jian asked in a bad tone.

Pei Zhijin lowered his eyes, a thin layer of sweat soaked his forehead, as if he was enduring something, and said, "It is my fault that I am late, please forgive me, General."

Zhu Feng heard Pei Zhijin coming in the front yard, so he hurried to Jiang Xue's yard, "Miss, Miss, Master Pei is here."

Jiang Xue stood up excitedly after hearing this, "Where is he now?"

"I heard the master seemed to be questioning him. He just said he wanted to cancel the engagement."

When Jiang Xue heard this, she became anxious and quickly picked up the fan, opened the door and went out.

Zhu Feng followed closely behind.

In the front hall.

Seeing Pei Zhijin not giving any explanation, Jiang Jian said angrily, "I don't think you care that much about this marriage. Now that the auspicious time has passed, let's cancel it."

Pei Zhijin raised his head abruptly when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Xue's voice rang out at the door, "Father!"

Everyone raised their eyes to look over, and saw Jiang Xue walking in quickly wearing a phoenix coronet and bridal gown.

"Why did you come out?" Jiang Jian frowned slightly.

Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin and noticed the sweat on Pei Zhijin's forehead at first sight.

He hurried forward and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Pei Zhijin looked at Jiang Xue in her wedding dress, who was even more beautiful than he had imagined, and said softly, "I'm fine."

Jiang Xue lifted Pei Zhijin's wrist and felt his pulse in disbelief, then frowned and looked at Pei Zhijin, "Who gave you the medicine?"

Pei Zhijin lowered his head.

"What? He was poisoned?" Jiang Jian asked in surprise.

Jiang Xue shook her head, looked at Jiang Jian and said, "Father, this marriage must be done today, so let's not waste time."

"Xue'er, don't you feel that he doesn't tell you a word of truth now? How can your father be at ease to hand you over to him?"

"Father! He is not that kind of person. I know what happened, but now, Zhijin can't hold on for much longer."

Aunt Zheng hurriedly grabbed Jiang Jian and said, "It's getting late. Let them finish their gift first. If we delay any longer, it will really be dark."

Although Jiang Jian looked reluctant, he did not stop it.

A moment later, Pei Zhijin came out of Jiang Mansion holding Jiang Xue's hand. There was no expression of forbearance on his face, and he was smiling. It seemed that Pei Zhijin was holding Jiang Xue's hand, but in fact, it was Jiang Xue who was supporting Pei Zhijin.

The two stopped in front of the sedan chair, and Pei Zhijin said softly: "I'm sorry."

"Don't say that. Let's go back quickly and help you get rid of the medicine."
