The youngmiss” His eyes flicked past Li Lin When those eyes swept past him, Li Lin felt as if his five viscera and six boere coreatly wanted to take a step back However, he was prevented fros of hu man

Just then, Lady Xue’s shadow appeared in the doorway However, she did not walk out Instead, she retreated back inside There was a look of shock on her face, as she asked herself in a whisper, “How come there is a man here?”

Wet nurse Li who had been sent over by the Marquis’s fa to My Lady, that is Lord Li fro Miss Lan’s household and has always been pero from within the inner residence without any obstructions There is no need for My Lady to beco appeared in Lady Xue’s eyes, and she exchanged looks with aintent flashed across the maid’s eyes, almost as if she wished to step outside However, with a cold and strict look fro across her eyes Afterwards, thelook Yue Qingyan nodded her head slightly, biting down upon her lips Her inally pale and completely bloodless Presently, there was a hint of blood Subconsciously, she used her right hand to grasp her left wrist to check her pulse Under the conceal clothes was a red damask handkerchief fastened to her left wrist

When the auspicious time arrived, the bride was escorted out The husband and wife exchanged the proper cere to the Heavens and the Earth and the ancestors Li Xian stood on the side with a s in a corner of the hall One was a ant expression on his face At his side was a young man of about twenty-four to twenty-five What piqued Li Xian’s interest was that the faces of both men were too apathetic and tranquil This in itself wasn’t anything strange However, these tere the bride’s kin—the family head’s uncle, Yue Wujiu, and the bride’s older full brother, Yue Hanwen During a day of such celebration, even if they were emotionally disinterested in the bride, they would still assuyan was Yue Wenhan’s only full younger sister Moreover, the relationshi+p between brother and sister was supposedly very deep Li Xian looked around, discovering numerous other unusual circumstances The expressions on the faces of the two envoys froe Fu Yulun, the vice emissary, had a somewhat tense and flustered expression As for the main emissary, Lu Can, he was leisurely and calm, a faint smile on the corners of his mouth

Just as the new couple had bowed to the Heavens and the Earth, parents, and each other, and were about to be sent into the bridal chamber, the bride’s elder brother, Yue Wenhan, suddenly shouted, “Marquis, this little nephew has a matter that requires your decision”

The Marquis of the Eastern Sea, Jiang Yong, was startled Displeased, he replied, “Wenhan, regardless of what it is, it would only be proper to wait until after the cerehed cruelly, his aloof and distant features revealing a look of ridicule He said, “It is best if this matter is discussed publicly After all, this matter is of interest to everyone present” After he finished speaking, his eyes scanned the assembled individuals in the hall one by one There weren’t many individuals with the qualifications to be in the , Northern Han, and Southern Chu, the only others present were the Marquis’s trusted subordinates and people from the Yue family Even the Hai uncle and nephew did not have the qualifications to be within the hall As a result, everyone present had illustrious identities, experienced ar or the machinations of the bureaucracy How could they be suppressed by Yue Wenhan’s aura? Were it not for their consideration towards the Marquis, they would likely have lashed out long ago

The expression on Jiang Yong’s face becaer the father as celebrating his beloved son settling down At this moment, he had returned to his identity as the head of the pirates of the Eastern Sea, the overlord of the Eastern Sea He gently waved his hand With tacit understanding, all of the subordinates of the Marquis took control of every single entrance and corner of the hall, slightly surrounding everyone within the hall Jiang Haitao’s originally jubilant expression beca off the red damask handkerchief wrapped around his arm, he withdrew to his father’s side

However, Yue Wenhan did not seem to be disconcerted by these developh shi+pping by the sea If someone attempts to become our adversary, the Yue family will naturally not be afraid However, the Hai family’s sudden rise suppressed our Yue family such that we dared not speak up The reason why the Hai family is y to build giant shi+ps Moreover, they also have Uncle’s elite navy to serve as escort It is no wonder that they have been so successful² Although Uncle has forgotten the help provided in secret by the Yue family in the olden days, this little nephew does not dare to derace In addition, the Yue family does not crave ns and the sea maps The Yue family has the confidence that ill able to protect our own lancing at Jiang Haitao Understanding, Jiang Haitao replied, “Cousin’s words are incorrect Doing business relies upon one’s abilities What does the Hai fa to do with the Yue family? If the Yue family wants to cooperate with the Hai fao discuss this in private with Lord Hai Why are you here disturbing little brother’s happy occasion?”

An indescribable look showed in Yue Wenhan’s eyes, as he asked, “Who doesn’t know that the behind-the-scenes supporter of the Hai Fa Company is Uncle? Isn’t it Uncle’s wish to see the Hai fayan and I coe alliance with you, you will probably provide some benefits to the Yue family as we are relatives However, you will definitely not provide the large shi+p designs to the Yue family When the time comes, whenfae When that happens, wouldn’t the Yue family have suffered losses in vain? It is best that all of this be discussed now”

“What’s theof this? This isHaitao with indignation “If cousin wants to interfere with this business, you must come with cold, hard cash to discuss this matter with us Does the Yue family always use this kind of sophistry³ to do business?”

Yue Hanwen callously explained, “It is said that power is reason This lowly nephew is attaching serious ihtly betray allies That is why I ans and the sea er, ould have invited Uncle to divide up the assets of the Hai fa upon someone else’s leftovers to survive? Wouldn’t it be better to co Yong’s co to this point, he coldly expressed, “The Hai fa family to abandon this alliance and betray our ally? Who could have thought that you are actually such a person? Fine … for the sake of your aunt, I will allow your Yue fa fahter of the Yue family”

At this moment, the quarrel between the two families had disturbed the entire island The Yue family troops dispatched to escort the bride had drawn near the wedding hall All of them had weapons hidden on their bodies As for the subordinates of the Jiang family, they had responsibility for the entire island’s security, and were full equipped Both sides confronted each other outside of the wedding hall As a uests and their servants, arranging for the guards of the distinguished guests to rest te family subordinates’ reactions were swift Aside froo and had already arrived before the wedding hall, everyone else had been placed under house arrest for their protection

Pretending as if he didn’t see these develophed huhters are very respected Even if the Jiang family desires to wed one, itfamily is not i htly Then a lily-white hand the color of a snow rose pulled the red da an absolutely beautiful mien The pupils, as ice-cold as the cold river in winter, of her eyes, as clear as limpid autu her head and controlling her eyebrows, Yue Qingyan walked to and stood by Yue Wenhan’s side

The s and silent Yan Wujiu suddenly spoke up, “Niece, since the Jiang family is heartless, there is no need for us to be compassionate Niece, please demand justice for yourself”

Everyone was stupefied when hearing this Everyone would understand if Yue Wujiu had ordered the Yue family subordinates outside of the hall to attack However, Yue Wujiu actually ordered Yue Qingyan to act This was cohter of the Yue fa lady both in name and fact How could she have the methods to attack souard Since Yue Wujiu had spoken thusly, then Yue Qingyan definitely had soaze turned to Yue Wenhan Seeing her brother lightly nod his head, a look of distress flashed across Yue Qingyan’s eyes She closed her eyes In this split second, the guards defending the entrance to the wedding hall suddenly let out blood-curdling screareatly alared towards Yue Qingyan, yelling, “Witch! You dare to use poison here? Die!”

Jiang Yong frowned and warned, “Tao’er, do not be reckless!”

However at this ed bloith the defending Yue Wenhan Yue Wenhan’sHaitao had already forced Yue Wenhan aside Jiang Haitao charged to Yue Qingyan’s side Just as he was about to raise his hand to seal Yue Qingyan’s acupoints, her eyes opened That pair of eyes that glittered like a clear spring were now filled with blood She revealed an icy s from the pricks of acupuncture needles With a yan slowly looked around the hall, her eyes falling upon one person With one look, that person felt dizzy, falling to the ground In red dress, Yue Qingyan seemed like a beautiful rakshasa frohten everyone stiff
