Chapter 687: Chapter 687: Preventing the Marriage
Old Man Di beside also rejoiced, “Is Third Child back?”
As they spoke, a man with a horse whip in his hand ran in from outside, his whole body covered in dust, and he knelt down on one knee directly in front of Liu Sisi.
“Prefecture Princess, your subordinate has successfully performed his duty!”
Two large red lanterns were hung high at the main entrance of Di Family’s old house, adding countless joy. The courtyard was also decorated in red and green, and the fellow villagers who came to watch the bridegroom filled the courtyard, all saying various auspicious words and blessings.
Ms. Wang and Di Gaoyuan were both sitting in the main hall, happily accepting the blessings of everyone.
Di Wei stood blankly by the window, wearing a red robe, her eyes swollen like goldfish, her face pale as death.
“Third Aunt, Third Aunt, you promised me, why didn’t you keep your word…”
She clenched her small hands, letting her tears wash away the white ash on her face.
On the other side, Liu Sisi and Ms. Xin were supporting Old Man Di, hurriedly heading toward Di Family’s old house.
“Sisi, are you sure that this subordinate of yours can be trusted?”
Old Man Di gasped as he walked, unable to resist asking two more questions.
Liu Sisi was also extremely anxious: “Dad, what’s the time now? How could Sisi dare to deceive people with such a thing? Besides, the one Sisi sent to Shangrao County is… my person!” Her people, of course, were from the Li Sect.
Old Man Di’s eyes flickered, and he nodded silently, no longer caring about rest, and hurried over.
On the other side.
A long procession traveled through the villages of Upper Village, heading straight toward Di Family’s old house.
At the front was a man who looked like a housekeeper, leading a horse decorated with big red silk flowers, and on the horse was a little boy about six or seven years old. Behind them was a large sedan chair, which was quickly approaching the stone steps in front of Di Family’s old house.
“He’s here! The bridegroom is here!”
A sharp-eyed watcher saw the people from a distance and reported loudly. Upon hearing this, everyone rushed out of the courtyard, eager to get the first glimpse of the bridegroom.
Crackling! –
The sound of firecrackers suddenly exploded, giving everyone who was running quickly toward the old house a shock!
“It’s bad! The wedding procession has arrived!” The color drained from Ms. Xin’s face.
At that moment, Liu Sisi could no longer care about anything else: “Er Niu, run faster! No matter what, you must stop the wedding procession at the main entrance. Understand?”
“Yes, Madam!”
Er Niu took the command and ran at full speed.
“Xin, Gao, help Dad walk slowly. I’ll go ahead. Er Niu is too honest, I’m afraid he won’t be able to hold them off for long.”
After Liu Sisi finished speaking, she ignored the others and hurriedly ran off.
“Unfilial son! Unfilial son!” Old Man Di shouted in anger, then continued to hurry on his way.
Everyone else could not care about talking either, supporting Old Man Di as they rushed over quickly.
At Di Family’s old house, all eyes were wide as they watched the people coming to greet the bridegroom, especially the little bridegroom sitting on horseback.
Although the bridegroom was young, he had a handsome appearance. With the help of the housekeeper in front, he smoothly jumped off the horse and looked curiously at everyone with a pair of dark eyes.
At the moment, the sound of firecrackers and the suona music did not stop. All people could hear was the deafening noise, as they looked at the joyful little boy and then the big sedan chair, filled with all kinds envy and jealousy.
