ABA Chapter 9

flower candle night (1)

Duke Lu didn't keep any of the betrothal gifts sent to the Duke's Palace and gave them all to Princess Anhui as dowry, plus the dowry prepared by the clan house, the dowry from the Duke's Palace, and what Duke Lu personally added.

Princess Anhui's dowry was enough to blind many people.

Seeing the long dowry procession leave Duke Lu's Mansion, the few people who had come to congratulate and attend the banquet could not help but secretly feel regretful.

If they knew that Princess Anhui could get such a big dowry, they would ask the clan's concubine's son or nieces to come to Duke Lu's house to propose marriage. Although marrying a fool had a bad reputation, it would bring a lot of wealth into their coffers, and they could gain favor from Duke Lu.

These people thought very well, but they didn't know that if they didn't have the intention to do trouble for Duan wang, Princess Anhui would definitely "died" of illness soon. After all, the eldest princess hoped that her daughter would die early.

When Lu Qishan, the eldest princess's eldest son, married, the eldest daughter was very busy. However, this time, her daughter got married. She didn't even look at her daughter once, so she asked the nanny beside her to put her daughter into the sedan.

Duke Lu Guo was a little melancholy, but to his daughter, who couldn't even speak, he couldn't offer a word of advice, and in the end, he could only watch the sedan chair leave.

Qin Yu was already waiting at Duan Wangfu.

Because he was sick, he didn't need to go to the wedding, but he still needed to go to the temple.

What did you do when you went to worship at that time? Qin Yu thought about it carefully but could not remember. He sat motionless, saw the bright red sedan being brought in, and then a woman wearing a bright red wedding dress was helped out of the sedan.

The clan prepared the wedding dress because the decoration was very beautiful, and suitable for the status of Wangfei, but it seemed too big... Or it couldn't be said that the wedding dress was too big, but that the bride was too small.

Princess Anhui was already eighteen years old, but her stature was similar to that of a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old girl. She wore a wedding dress like a child stealing an adult's clothes.

Not only that. Her steps were irregular, and she leaned against the mama beside her...

Was she... drugged?

"Your Highness, people from Duke Lu's residence came to say hello. They said that they were afraid that something would happen to Princess Anhui, so they gave her some medicine first. There wasn't much medicine, and she would be fine after sleeping tonight." said someone beside Shou Xi. After saying a few words, Shou Xi immediately conveyed them to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu's wedding in his previous life happened a few days later, but the situation was the same as now.

At first, Qin Yu felt that Duke Lu's actions were fine, but now he felt a little uncomfortable looking at the girl leaning on her grandmother.

The groom's leg hurts, and the bride is mentally retarded. Of course, those who came to congratulate could not express sincere congratulations. Therefore, the marriage was carried out in a very careless manner. The two newlyweds were told to enter the bridal room a few moments later.

Normally, the bride would sit by the bed when she entered the bridal chamber, but Princess Anhui was drugged, and as soon as the two maids let go of her, she fell onto the bed with a "thud".

The two maids were shocked. They pulled her up again because there were still some rituals to be completed. The pulling force was quite strong, and it was clear that they did not care about this master.

When Qin Yu saw this scene from his previous life, he took the opportunity to get angry and chased away all the servants who came as dowry from the eldest princess's palace. He also found two honest, reliable, and strong women in their 30s and 40s from Duan Wangfu to look after Lu Yining. Then he turned around and went to the study to sleep, but this time...

"How dare you!" Qin Yu looked at the two maids with a cold face: "How could you do something like this to my wangfei?"

"Your Highness!" The two maids were shocked and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Shou Xi, you send back all the people from Duke Lu palace who came to serve Princess Anhui, you will say that they did not serve Princess Anhui with care." Qin Yu said directly. No matter what, he was unwilling to leave the people from the eldest princess's palace in Duan Wangfu.

"Yes", Shou Xi answered, and when the two maids heard this, they didn't look fearful, but they were a little happy. It was clear that they didn't want to stay and take care of a fool.

"Take these people out," Qin Yu said, then looked at the people in the clan mansion beside him, "and you, you can go too." Normally, there were still some etiquettes that needed to be obeyed nowadays, but Duan wang and Duan Wangfei were in a special situation, so these people could not do things according to the rules. When they saw Duan wang issue the order to chase away the guests, they immediately left.

As a result, there were not many people in the new house.

"your Highness, Rui wang has brought people to congratulate you. Rui Wangfei also said that she would come to accompany Wangfei." After Shouxi sent Duke Lu's house servants out, he immediately returned to Qin Yu.

"Say I'm not feeling well, so I won't meet them, and don't let anyone come to the backyard. Wangfei doesn't need anyone else to accompany her." Qin Yu said, then looked at Shou Xi: "You find someone to bring food, and then send a few people to guard the door. Watch out, don't come in until I call."

"Yes." Shou Xi agreed. Although he does not understand why Qin Yu did this, he still did everything correctly.

Today, Duan Wangfu held a wedding event and borrowed many chefs from the restaurant, so it was very easy to order food. After a while, Shouxi sent him a lot of food. Then he closed the door and stood guard at the door.

There was no one else in the new house except the newlyweds. Then, Qin Yu pushed his wheelchair to the new bed and looked at his new wife.

Even though she fell twice, the red hijab was still stuck to the bride's head. It was probably fixed with something… Qin Yu bent down and reached out to remove it.

His wangfei's familiar face appeared before him.

Lu Yining's appearance was not much different from what Qin Yu saw before he died, but she was much more childish. She didn't wear makeup, which made her look younger, and her neck and body were very thin... No, this wasn't normal thin. This was clearly due to starvation.

Lu Yining's face was very pale and looked very unhealthy, and her arms... were so thin that only bones and skin remained.

Although she was very thin before her death, she was a little fat during her stay in Duan Wangfu, which shows that she was not born thin. Princess Rongyang didn't even feed her enough.

Qin Yu, who had always covered up his shortcomings, suddenly became a little angry. He felt a little more sympathetic when he saw the girl lying on the bed.

It seems he has done the right thing by moving forward with his marriage. At least she no longer had to stay at the eldest princess' house to suffer any longer. Meanwhile in the future... he would only raise her as his daughter.

When Qin Yu was killed in his previous life, he was already over 30 years old. After that, he lived as a spirit for ten years. If he really thought about it, he was now in his forties. At this age, having a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old daughter is not impossible.

He thanked his Wangfei, even though they had no love between men and women. His body made it impossible for him to get close to women… Therefore, the most important thing for him now was to raise his Wangfei as a daughter.

She had never abandoned him in his previous life, and now he would cherish her in this life.

With this in mind, Qin Yu moves the body of the woman on the bed with difficulty, then gently helps her remove the phoenix crown on her head and briefly examines her body.

This child's health is very bad.

Not only were there several ounces of flesh on his body, but there were also many wounds. Not even one of her ten fingers was intact… Just by looking at her hands, one could tell that she must have suffered a lot in the eldest princess' house.

This time, the new house was not chosen randomly like in the previous life but was where Qin Yu usually lived. Qin Yu is very familiar with everything in the house. Seeing that Lu Yining was still asleep, he took out a box of ointment from the bedside and rubbed it on Lu Yining's hand.

After applying the medicine, Qin Yu thought about having the imperial doctor take a look tomorrow. When he lifted his gaze, he met her confused gaze.

His wangfei woke up.

Upon learning of this, Qin Yu gives a reassuring smile to the other party without thinking about it – in the few months he and his Wangfei are together, as long as he smiles like this, his Wangfei will be at ease.
