No matter how Shangguan Lin and Peng Yingchun tried to explain, object, or clarify, they were still forced to bow down.
The wedding was held in Spring Brook's parlor.
Because Peng Yingchun had fallen into the torrent of time alone, she did not have any relatives or friends. Moreover, because the wedding was too rushed, she did not have time to inform the Jia family.
As Shangguan Lin had long been expelled from the family, other than Shangguan Jue, no one else from the Shangguan family was present.
Such a wedding was indeed a little shabby, but they did not care at all because they did not want to get married at all.
Sitting in front of the wedding bed, Peng Yingchun could still hear the noise at the banquet.
She lifted the red veil that was in the way and looked around the deserted bridal room.
She had never thought that she would get married in ancient times, to a man she had no feelings for at all. It could even be said that she did not like him at all.
She was forced to wear this wedding dress.
Sigh! How did things turn out like this? Peng Yingchun frowned in distress.
Let's not talk about love first. Just the difference in dynasty background was already a big gap. It was impossible for marriage to exist between them.
Moreover, she was a person from the 21st century. If she got married and had children in ancient times, wouldn't she abandon her husband and children and become a heartless woman when she could return to her own era one day?
She would never do such a thing, nor would she let it happen.
Did she really have to wait for Shangguan Lin to return to his room to spend the night with her? She did not want to, and she believed that he did not want to either.
It wasn't that she didn't feel or know about his disgust towards her, but that she pretended not to know and continued fooling around with him.
If two people who didn't like each other were sent to a pile, wouldn't they become a pair of resentful couples?
No! She could not let such a thing happen!
Leave! She wasn't someone who couldn't survive without Shangguan Lin. If she really couldn't survive, she would at most be thick-skinned enough to return to Grand View Garden.
If she didn't leave and continued to mess around with Shangguan Lin, she still wouldn't be able to find a way home.
Once she made up her mind, Peng Yingchun wanted to take advantage of the reluctant groom returning to the room.
She took off her heavy phoenix crown and hurriedly packed her luggage. Silver was especially indispensable. If she didn't have money, then she couldn't do it.
Originally, he wanted to change out of the dazzling red wedding dress on his body, but he heard a clamor coming from afar. The person who was shouting unhappily was Shangguan Lin. She didn't care about her clothes and quickly picked up her bag and sneaked away before anyone arrived.
Such a decision might be the best!
"I don't want to go back to my room!" Shangguan Lin roared loudly.
He was carried out of the banquet and headed straight for the bridal chamber. He knew their intentions all too well.
Being forced to marry Peng Yingchun was already a grievance. He didn't want to spend the wedding night with her!
"You must go back to your room to accompany Yingchun tonight!”Shangguan Jue walked behind, telling Shangguan Lin resolutely to give up on not returning to his room.
"Let me go!" He kept struggling.
Ever since he met Peng Yingchun, he had been tormented by her. If he married her again, she would probably climb over his head for the rest of his life.
"Second Brother, there's really nothing between us. You have to believe me.”He tried his best to make a dying struggle.
"I don't believe you!" Shangguan Jue's heart was clearly biased towards Peng Yingchun. "If there's really nothing going on between you and her, why would a woman like her be in the same room as you with her clothes disheveled? Moreover, if she only wanted to defile you, what good would it do her to destroy her chastity and innocence?”
Why would he rather trust an outsider than his own brother? This was something that Shangguan Lin could not figure out.
"What does she have to make you trust her so much?”Shangguan Lin didn't care that he was being dragged away, he stubbornly wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"At least she's more sincere than you!" Shangguan Jue briefly answered his doubts.
Really? Would she, who was full of lies, be true? If Shangguan Jue wasn't blind, then the sky was about to rain red, that would be why such a miracle would happen.
What ability did she have to deceive everyone and make them unable to see the truth?
Under Shangguan Lin's struggle and delay, it took him more time than usual to reach the door.
"Tonight is your big day. Enjoy it!”Shangguan Jue opened the door as he spoke and gave a look, asking everyone to push Shangguan Lin in.
The pushing force caused Shangguan Lin to lose his balance. Fortunately, he was quick to use his hands to support himself on the ground, otherwise, he would have fallen flat on his face.
"What the hell!" He was so angry that he wanted to curse.
Before Shangguan Lin could figure out the situation, the door was already closed and locked from the outside.
"I wish you a happy wedding!" After Shangguan Jue congratulated him, he took the key and wanted to leave.
"Don't go! Open the door!" He knocked on the door, asking Shangguan Jue to let him go.
"Tonight is your wedding night.”
Knowing that he was unable to get favor from Shangguan Jue, Shangguan Lin shifted his attention to Peng Yingchun, hoping that she would speak up.
He wasn't a fool. Of course, he could sense that Peng Yingchun wasn't willing to get married either. However, the decision-making power of this whole matter wasn't in their hands. They could only let others manipulate them.
"Hey, say something!" He urged Peng Yingchun.
The response to Shangguan Lin was silence.
This hateful woman refused to even open her mouth to speak!
" You…" Shangguan Lin wanted to throw a tantrum and scold her, but when he turned around, he was instantly dumbfounded.
The entire room was empty, with only a phoenix crown left. She was nowhere to be seen.
Where was she? Could it have run away?
Yay! It was good that she had run away, so that he would not have to argue with Second Brother for her. Now that she had disappeared, he could rest easy.
Shangguan Lin didn't plan to shout about her escape because he was afraid that she would be chased back.
He would give her more time to run away so that no one could find her.
Shangguan Lin took off his laughable red wedding gown and blew out the candles. He laid down on the bed in an extremely relaxed manner, planning to have a good sleep to make up for the sleep he had lost because of tossing and turning.
With his eyes closed, he still had a happy smile on his face.
When the people outside saw that the candle had gone out, they finally felt relieved. They thought that they were getting better and did not need to worry about the two of them anymore. However, they did not know that the person inside was alone. The bride had already run away.
After running out of Spring Brook, Peng Yingchun realized a very serious problem-where was she going now?
She was unfamiliar with the place and people, and she didn't even know where she was going, let alone returning to Grand View Garden. Even if she had to wander aimlessly, she should at least know where she was going next.
Moreover, it was already the middle of the night, and every house's door was already locked. Everyone had dreamed of the Duke of Zhou many times, so she could not find anyone to ask for directions.
She couldn't move an inch now, but she couldn't go back to Spring Brook like this. It would be very embarrassing if she went back.
Counting the time, everyone should have found out about her disappearance. Perhaps they would come out to look for her. If she waited, she might be able to wait for someone to come looking for her.
She hadn't walked far, but she was already regretting her impulsive actions.
Running away like this was lacking in consideration. It was very dangerous for a single woman like her to stay outside late at night. She might encounter wild beasts or even bad people. At that time, she would be in trouble.
I'm not leaving! She wanted to wait for someone to pick her up.
Peng Yingchun found a big flat rock and sat down. She hugged her bag tightly and looked around with her eyes wide open, not wanting to miss the person who came to look for her.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but Peng Yingchun knew that she had been waiting for a long time. The moon was already hanging in the western sky, waiting to take over with dawn.
It was almost dawn. Was there anyone looking for her?
Peng Yingchun was extremely unhappy this time. She pouted and muttered,
"What? No one actually came to look for me. Is my popularity really that bad? Especially that Shangguan Lin, I've known him for so long. Even if I'm not the one who married him, he should at least look for me on account of me helping him pull in so many guests!”
No one came to find Peng Yingchun and made her feel aggrieved.
She was usually a little mischievous and always wanted to prank people, but she had no ill intentions at all, and she was not an unpardonable person. Now that she was missing, no one came to look for her. It was really unpleasant.
Could it be that they didn't like her at all, so they didn't bother to look for her after she left?
Perhaps they were still celebrating her unannounced departure!
Thinking about it carefully, this was not impossible!
While she was letting her imagination run wild, the sky gradually brightened. The originally dark night had now turned bright.
Sigh, it's dawn!
Peng Yingchun picked up her bag and looked at the road she had come from. She resolutely walked forward, no longer hoping that someone would come looking for her.
After walking a few steps, she saw a person standing in front of her.
It was dangerous for a woman to be alone outside. If that person had a bad heart, then she would be in trouble. She might even be one of the people exposed in the wilderness.
For the sake of safety, Peng Yingchun decided to find a secret place to hide.
"Amitabha!" The other party seemed to have noticed her existence long ago, so he opened his mouth to attract her attention.
Peng Yingchun took a closer look when she heard the voice. It was an old monk with a white beard.
"Amitabha." She didn't know what to say, but she suddenly remembered that Amitabha always came and went when people of Buddhism met, so she did the same thing.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"To be honest, I'm not sure either." If she knew where she was going, she wouldn't be so confused.
"Go where you came from. How can you not know?”
Go where you came from? According to what he said, she came from the 21st century and should go back to where she should go, but she couldn't.
"I can't go back." If she was honest.
"There must be a place you can go back to!”Seeing that she was wearing a wedding dress, even if she didn't have a family, she should have a husband's family. There shouldn't be no place to go.
Peng Yingchun felt that the way this old monk spoke was different from ordinary people, so she guessed that he was an accomplished monk. If so, he must have a way to send her back.
Feeling that hope was finally ignited on the way home, she told others about her encounter for the first time.
He just listened to Peng Yingchun's narration quietly without any surprise, nor did he treat her as a weirdo.
"Master, do you have a way to send me back to where I should go?”He was her hope.
"Since we're here, let's take it as it is."
"I can't stay in this place!”Peng Yingchun couldn't accept his advice.
"You want to go back, but do you have anywhere to go?”He seemed to have seen through everything.
" I…" She did not know how to answer.
"Your physical body has been destroyed. Even if your soul really does return to your world, it will only be a lonely soul. It will still be unable to stay with your loved ones in human form.”
Could she really not go back? Peng Yingchun was shocked beyond belief.
All she wanted was to travel through time and space to go home again, but the answer she got now was that she couldn't go back. Even if she went back, it would be useless.
"I…I can use a corpse to resurrect my soul!”She suddenly remembered that she often saw this kind of plot on television.
As long as she could go back, even if she couldn't return to her original self, she was willing.
"What's the point of this?" He shook his head earnestly and said," Even if you were to return to life through a corpse, you are still not the same person as before. Moreover, your soul has already been attached to the pottery statue and transformed into a human. You are now a living person. If you want your soul to leave your body, you can only die. However, even if you die, you may not be able to return. Perhaps your life will end like this.
Since God has given you a chance to be reborn, you should cherish it. You have to look forward and not look back at the past. There was already a plan in the dark, and it was not up to anyone!”
He really couldn't go back! All of her hopes had been shattered.
"But I'm not from this era. Can I get married and have children?”
"Marriage is destined by heaven, not by anyone at all.”If there was no marriage, it would be impossible to force it.
"If marriage is really destined, is he the one that the heavens have bestowed upon me?”So far, she did not think that she and Shangguan Lin had a marriage relationship.
The old monk smiled in amusement at Peng Yingchun's question.
"You should ask yourself this question, not Old Na.”No one could answer the question of love for the person involved.
"Ask yourself?" If she knew the answer, she would not have asked him.
"The answer is in your heart, Amitabha.”As soon as he finished speaking, he ignored Peng Yingchun's cries and slowly walked forward.
"Master!"
She wanted to chase after him, but he seemed to be walking very slowly, but she just couldn't catch up with him. She kept a distance from him until she was panting. When she looked up, he had already disappeared.
"Master!"
No matter how Peng Yingchun shouted, there was nothing in the air except her voice. But strangely, there seemed to be a voice in her ear saying softly,
Marriage is destined!
The days without Peng Yingchun really made people feel relaxed and happy. The originally tense mood was completely relaxed after she left. With such a rare opportunity, Shangguan Lin slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up lazily.
He tidied up his appearance before opening the door and stretching happily in front of the sun hanging high in the sky.
The weather today is really good! Because he was in a good mood, he felt that everything he saw was beautiful.
"Good morning, Third Young Master!" The servant girl that Shangguan Jue had sent to serve Peng Yingchun was already waiting at the door for the newlyweds to come out.
"Morning!" Shangguan Lin was not surprised at all that a person suddenly appeared.
She walked around Shangguan Lin and went into the room to help Peng Yingchun get up. However, when she walked into the room, she realized that there was no one inside.
"Third Young Master, where's Third Young Madam?" She walked to the door and asked Shangguan Lin.
"I don't know."
She thought that since they were together last night, he would definitely know where Peng Yingchun was, but she didn't expect him to tell her that he didn't know.
Heavens! How could this be?
She felt that the situation was a little serious and quickly went to find Shangguan Jue to ask him what to do about this matter.
Just as Shangguan Lin was having his breakfast in high spirits, Shangguan Jue suddenly barged in like the wind.
"Where's Yingchun?" Shangguan Jue immediately asked.
"I don't know." Shangguan Lin still said those four words.
"You spent the night with her, how could you not know where she went?”Shangguan Jue didn't believe Shangguan Lin's words at all.
"When I returned to my room last night, she was already gone. How would I know where she went?”
"You didn't see her last night?" Shangguan Jue would really die from anger. "Since she disappeared last night, why didn't you say anything?”
"Why should I?" He was more than happy to see her disappear.
" You…" Forget it! It was more important to find him. It was useless to argue with him.
"Someone come! Hurry up and find the Third Young Mistress. The servant girls stay inside and look for her. You big men go outside and look for her. If you still can't find her, go out of the city!”He believed that a weak woman who had run away from home alone could not have gone far. There should still be a chance to get her back.
"Yes, sir!" Everyone immediately moved after receiving the order.
Seeing that Shangguan Lin was still enjoying his delicious breakfast, Shangguan Jue was filled with anger.
His wife had run away, and he seemed to be fine, but he was so tired that he had to help him find someone. His life was really bitter!
Shangguan Jue was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and left. He would rather send more people to find Peng Yingchun than to stare at Shangguan Lin and be angered half to death by him.
The people in the room were noisy, but Shangguan Lin was still unmoved, making Wu Yong secretly anxious.
"Master, I'm going out to look for Madam!" He couldn't just sit back and watch.
"Who is the Madam?" Shangguan Lin raised his eyebrows unhappily and asked.
His good mood was completely ruined by them!
Wu Yong didn't understand why Shangguan Lin would say this. He was stunned for a moment and couldn't reply.
"I don't admit that she is!" After she escaped, she had nothing to do with him anymore.
Just as Wu Yong was about to refute Shangguan Lin's words, a clamor suddenly came from outside. It was even louder than when Peng Yingchun was discovered missing.
"Third Madam is back!"
"Damn it! What are you arguing about?" Shangguan Lin roared angrily.
"Master, Madam is back!" Wu Yong repeated the deafening cry.
"Why did she come back?" Hearing that Peng Yingchun had returned, Shangguan Lin's expression became very ugly, unable to believe that this was true.
All the happy days he had dreamed of were now a dream.
"I'm back to be my Lady Shangguan, the Lady Boss of Spring in the South, and Fugui Hong.”Peng Yingchun heard his roar from afar and answered his question very kindly.
"Peng Yingchun!" When she appeared in front of him, he wished he could chase her out.
She only smiled, completely unaffected by his roar.
She thought about it for a long time outside and finally figured it out, so she returned to where she should be.
"Husband, I'm back!"
Hearing her address him, Shangguan Lin was stunned and did not react for a long time.#
