Chapter 579: Chapter 449: On the Wedding Day, Mother and Daughter Meet for the First Time
"Hong Fang, you can’t leave me behind! Are you going to find that slut Ye Huangyu? I’m telling you, you can’t! Believe it or not, I will reveal all of your sordid affairs!" Zhuge Rou, seeing Hong Fang about to leave, suddenly went mad, clutching his leg with a grip.
Zhuge Rou was already prepared to die; if she was to die, she would drag Hong Fang down with her. She would never agree to let Hong Fang escape alone.
"Slut, don’t touch me with your filthy hands." Hong Fang snorted coldly, his gaze towards Zhuge Rou was like that of a poisonous snake.
He drew the prison guard’s sword, and with a swift motion, a scream escaped Zhuge Rou’s mouth as a section of her tongue was carved out.
Turning his attention to the unconscious "Hong Fang," Hong Fang had a murderous look in his eyes, proceeding to similarly mutilate, cutting "Hong Fang’s" tongue as well.
The execution day would be in a few days. If Zhuge Rou died now, it would certainly arouse suspicion; she couldn’t die just yet.
"Zhuge Rou, you’re a wife who’s slept with many men, a complete whore. In consideration of our many years of marriage, I’ll find you a companion for the journey on Huangquan Road. I’ll have you beheaded alongside this adulterer," said Hong Fang after wiping the blood on the sword, bursting into laughter as he left the Heavenly Prison.
Chen Hongru watched everything in the prison with a cold gaze, then his figure disappeared.
Three days later, on the day when the remnants of the Hong Residence were to be beheaded, coincidentally, it was also the day of Ye Huangyu’s remarriage.
As dawn broke, the Lan Residence was bustling with chaos.
Lady Lan, with a number of nannies, dressed Ye Huangyu up and down, busily continuing until the midday.
Outside the residence, the sounds of celebratory music had begun. Nie Fengxing, leading a group of soldiers from the Tiger Wolf Army, had come to escort the bride.
The tall and handsome Nie Fengxing, having removed his armor, donned the groom’s attire. The bright red wedding attire made his already handsome face appear flushed with a touch of red.
Amidst the sounds of firecrackers hitting the ground, the wedding planner helped Ye Huangyu out of the Lan Residence’s gate.
Nie Fengxing gazed at Ye Huangyu wearing a phoenix crown and wedding veil, her shy and joyous appearance faintly visible beneath the misty wedding veil, rendering him so smitten that he foolishly chuckled and even forgot to step forward to receive his bride.
It felt as though the time when they first met had only been the day before.
Nie Fengxing remembered that upon first seeing Ye Huangyu, she was dressed as a man, and just one glance had left a deep impression on him.
From now on, she was going to be his wife.
"Fool, the auspicious time is almost upon us."
Ye Huangyu sneaked a glance at Nie Fengxing and scolded him lovingly.
"General, are you so stunned you can’t react? Why hurry? You can look at her for a lifetime."
"Ah, the General’s face turned red."
The soldiers of the Tiger Wolf Army, who normally feared Nie Fengxing like death itself, took this opportunity to tease mercilessly, making Nie Fengxing send them a glare that could kill. He silently vowed to himself that once they returned to the northwest, he would train them so hard they’d shed a layer of skin.
Nie Fengxing hurriedly stepped forward and with his robust arms, he firmly embraced Ye Huangyu in his arms.
"The bride is boarding the palanquin!"
The sound of firecrackers filled the air, crackling and popping, with red confetti scattering all over the ground.
Nobody noticed that among the wedding procession, there was a lowly, small man with a sinister face.
The man was Hong Fang who had taken the Jade Toad Pill.
Seeing Nie Fengxing holding Ye Huangyu and getting onto the wedding palanquin, the sight of Ye Huangyu’s coy and shy expression caused a storm of emotions in Hong Fang’s heart.
"Adulterer scum," Hong Fang cursed venomously in his heart.
Looking at the crowd again, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er, among others, were smiling radiantly as they watched the bridal sedan chair depart.
Chen Hongru had said that as long as he killed Ye Lingyue, he could join Dan Palace.
Hong Fang firmly believed that with his intelligence and wisdom, once he joined Dan Palace, he would surely rise above others.
By then, he would make Xiahou Qi pay his blood debt in full.
As Ye Lingyue watched her mother’s joyous bridal procession leave, she suddenly felt a gaze upon her. Becoming alert, she scanned the crowd and saw only unfamiliar faces.
"Ling Yue, what’s wrong? We need to head to the Ye Residence now, or mom will scold us again for being late," Lan Cai’er said, noticing that Ye Lingyue seemed distracted and nudged her. "Are you worried about Hong Fang?"
The day that Xiahou Qi ordered the execution of Hong Fang and his wife, as well as Hong Yulang, also happened to be today.
Once noon had passed, the three from the Hong Residence should have been executed.
"Don’t worry, I’ve already had someone check on it. The three from the Hong Residence have been positively identified and executed. It’s about time; let’s go to the Ye Residence together. Your grandfather is waiting for me to drink until I’m completely drunk," Lan Yingwu was also in a festive mood today.
He and Ye Lingyue’s grandfather were both fond of drinking, and for this marriage, Lan Cai’er had generously sponsored all the drinks.
Ye Lingyue had also specially taken out more than a dozen jars of the Rainbow Five Treasures Brew buried in Hong Meng Heaven, and Lan Yingwu and the others were already eagerly anticipating it, arranging with the Marquis and others to go and enjoy a good drink.
The three of them followed the procession towards the New Ye Residence, which is also Marquis Yue’s Mansion.
At the entrance of Marquis Mansion, guests had already filled the place. Lady Lan and Ye Gu, among other senior members of the Ye Family, were bustling about. As soon as they saw Lan Yingwu, they pulled him over to help welcome guests inside.
"Wait here later, Your Majesty, the Empress, and the Empress Dowager will come personally to congratulate. You and Cai’er should welcome guests at the entrance," Lady Lan instructed Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er before going in, and also handed over Little Wuya and Little Zhiyo to Ye Lingyue.
Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er had no choice but to stand outside with extra-large smiles on their faces, along with a cute beast, to greet the guests.
As the evening approached, the guests coming to the Ye Residence to celebrate and witness the event continued to stream in.
Everyone knew that after the Hong Residence was ransacked, the Ye Residence was now the one most relied upon by His Majesty.
Nie Fengxing was a royal family member, his wife was a First-grade Lady, and his stepdaughter was Daxia’s first female Marquis, making the splendor of the Ye Residence unrivaled in Daxia.
Half an hour before the ceremonial homage to heaven and earth, Ye Lingyue rubbed her stiff smiling face.
A guard approached Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er and reported.
"Marquis Yue, there’s a woman outside the mansion who says she wants to come in to witness the event, but she doesn’t have an invitation."
"Hey, are you dumb? Without an invitation, just send them away. You’re still coming to bother us with such a small matter?"
Lan Cai’er was dissatisfied; for security reasons, tonight’s banquet required invitations to enter, and one invitation only allowed up to two people.
"This... Marquis Yue, this junior doesn’t dare to send the woman away. Why don’t you come and take a look?"
The guard was frantic, scratching his head, and looked at Ye Lingyue for help.
Ye Lingyue smiled. Today was her mother’s day of great joy, and she did not want to get upset, so she followed the guard out of the mansion gate.
Outside the Ye Residence, the place was jubilant with bright red lanterns. A woman was standing outside the Ye Residence. Hearing the sound, the woman turned around and looked steadily at Ye Lingyue.
