'Is divination awesome? If you ask me this, then you're giving me a chance to narrate.'
"Get lost!"
"Okay, cat bites big big. I'll get lost now.”
Narrator: Sneak away ~
……
Medicine was Huang Dongjie's bread and butter, and divination was his way of toying with the world.
In one life, he was very strange. He was a fraud and swindled people. When he was discovered, he used his real ability to divine and escape.
He relied on lies to cheat, but he used his real skills to escape. He really had a good time playing until the heavens could not stand it anymore and took him away.
With the ability to predict the future, this was also why Huang Dongjie did not care about the whereabouts of his second son at all. If he wanted to know, he could just shake his head and find out.
Huang Dongjie took out five copper coins from his Universe Creator and shook them in his palms.
Huang Dongjie casually put the copper coin on the ground. He looked at it for a while and then looked at it again.
Where are my copper coins?
Alright, one rolled into the water, and the other rolled into a crack in the rock.
At this moment, Huang Dongjie suspected that his luck had become rusty after not using it for three lifetimes.
Huang Dongjie collected another five copper coins and placed them at a controlled angle.
Alright, no problem. The divination results were out.
If the bride ran away tomorrow, the Dongwu Imperial Residence would lose face and become a complete joke.
When Huang Dongjie saw this result, he was silent for a while. Suddenly, his face lit up and he slapped his thigh.
"This is a good thing."
"After becoming a joke, the Dongwu Imperial Residence became less important.”
"As time went on, the Dongwu Imperial Residence gradually faded out of people's sights and their sense of existence became lower. Isn't this the low-key life I want?”
Huang Dongjie was extremely happy. As for how his eldest son felt, he did not care.
Nothing was more important than his happiness.
He kept the copper coins. It didn't matter why the bride ran away.
He couldn't be bothered to spend his energy on divination. Sometimes, knowing too much would be very boring.
However, he would still do what he had to do, so he summoned Butler Li Gui.
"Send someone to secretly protect my wife. Don't interfere with her actions. If her life is not in danger, don't care about her.”
Huang Dongjie paused for a moment before continuing.
"She might run away from the wedding tomorrow. Don't stop her. Let her go.”
Huang Dongjie felt that it was better to bring up the matter of the bride skipping the wedding. Otherwise, with Li Gui's loyalty, he might stop the bride from escaping for the sake of the Prince's mansion.
Li Gui didn't understand, but this was his master's order, so he would accept it.
the next day
The joyful band played, and guests came in an endless stream.
At the same time, Chen Yuling also received a small note on her dressing table. It was unknown who had secretly placed it on it.
When Chen Yuling finished reading the contents of the note, she burst into tears.
The content on it was nothing else but someone telling her who was the one who drugged her and plotted against her.
"Father, is your daughter just a tool in your eyes?”
The more Chen Yuling thought about it, the more sorrowful she became. She wanted to leave this home, she wanted to leave Jingdu. She just wanted to escape from this place that made her sad.
Therefore, she used suicide to force her good sister servant girl to help her escape, and the servant girl agreed.
Dongwu Imperial Residence
"King Dongwu, congratulations. This is just a small gift. Also, I wish your son a happy marriage and a child soon ~"
"Alright, alright, please sit."
Huang Dongjie could only receive officials above Rank-3. However, Huang Dongjie didn't have much enthusiasm to entertain the guests. He just dealt with them casually and let them find a place to sit.
"Yo, if it isn't Grand Commandant Sima, you're also here to wish my son a happy marriage. That's really my silly boy's honor.”
"King Dongwu is too polite. This is a joyous occasion for your Imperial Residence. Anyone can choose not to come, but I can't.”
On the surface, Sima Xiu Hao was acting like this, but in his heart: Enemy, I'm here. I hope you can accept my next big gift.
"Lord Sima is too polite, I can't handle you. Look over there, there's a spot for you next to Prime Minister Chen. You can go and fight with Prime Minister Chen.”
Huang Dongjie ran back to the main seat and sat down.
Sima Xiu Hao:
Why do I feel like he's looking down on me?
"Lord Sima, it's tiring to stand, come and sit.”
Chen Huai Jiang patted the chair beside him towards Sima Xiu Hao.
"Humph!"
Officials of the same dynasty were enemies, let alone the Prime Minister and the Grand Marshal.
The two of them were of the same level. When they met, they would be convinced by each other.
But Sima Xiu Hao still walked over and sat down, then closed his eyes to rest.
He ignored Chen Huaijiang. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to see King Dongwu lose face, he wouldn't have come.
Time slowly passed, and it was almost the auspicious day. The groom and the bride had yet to appear, but the people below were already questioning him.
Did the groom need so long to pick up the bride?
"In-law, why don't I send someone to take a look?”
Chen Huaijiang couldn't sit still anymore. The auspicious day was almost here, and the two rookies were nowhere to be seen. How could he not be anxious?
"Wait a little longer. We might be here soon.”
Huang Dongjie was still drinking his tea calmly.
"You still want to wait? Just wait and be embarrassed."
At this moment, Sima Xiu Hao wanted to see the expression on Dongwu King's face when he found out that his daughter-in-law had run away.
"Wangye, no, it's not good. The bride is missing and Eldest Young Master is currently searching the entire city.”
Li Gui also knew how to act, he ran in panting to report.
"What? My daughter is missing?"
Chen Huaijiang was the first to jump out.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and search with all your might.”
"Yes, Your Highness. This subordinate will go now.”
Li Gui hurriedly ran out.
For a moment, the officials in the hall began to discuss in low voices. They were not fools. The bride had most likely run away.
"Prime Minister Chen, it can't be that your daughter doesn't like the Eldest Young Master of the Dongwu Imperial Residence and ran away from the marriage, right?”
Sima Xiu Hao directly made things difficult for Chen Huai Jiang. This time, not only did he embarrass King Dongwu, he also made it difficult for the Prime Minister to step down.
"In-law, my daughter is not such a person. There must be something we don't know about.”
Chen Huaijiang was also afraid that Huang Dongjie would misunderstand, so he quickly explained.
"Let's wait and see."
Huang Dongjie looked as if he was waiting for the news. Naturally, the guests were also waiting. However, they looked at Huang Dongjie with a hint of schadenfreude.
He waited for two hours.
The guests did not speak, but they were already laughing at King Dongwu in their hearts.
"Go and call Tian Zhen back. There's no need to look for him.”
"I'm really sorry that you've stayed for so long. It's quite unexpected that such a change happened today. It's getting late, so I won't waste your time.”
"Next time I have the chance, I will apologize to everyone.”
Huang Dongjie made a gesture of sending the guests off. The guests did not stay any longer and left one after another, ready to share the embarrassing incident with their relatives and friends.
"King Dongwu, I…"
Chen Huaijiang didn't know how to face Huang Dongjie. After all, he was in the wrong.
"There's no need to say anything. Children have their own blessings. Who knows, they might even be together in the future.”
Huang Dongjie turned around and walked into the inner courtyard.
"King Dongwu, you may look calm on the surface, but you must be furious to death on the inside.”
"After today, not only will your Dongwu Imperial Residence lose face, but you will also become the biggest joke.”
Sima Xiu Hao's expression didn't change, but he was very pleased in his heart. He felt that he had won against Dongwu King.
