Chapter 129 The Bride Enters the Bridal Chamber!
"what?"
Lu Yangyang stood up abruptly, put down her bowl, and quickly wiped her mouth. "Auntie, I have something important to do. Thank you."
He turned and walked out.
"Girl, girl, let me show you the way," the old woman called after him.
"No need, no need, I remember the way." She came from the village entrance and knew where she was just by hearing her voice.
She darted out the door in a few quick movements, untied the horse that was tied to the door, jumped on, and, without caring whether the village roads were good or bad, spurred the horse and galloped towards the east end of the village.
Regardless of whether it was such a coincidence or not, even if it was just a girl who happened to be passing by and was robbed, who knows what might have happened if she had gone there that night!
To be able to do things this way and in this manner, one is not exactly a particular family!
"Yangyang!" A familiar voice caught up.
Startled, Lu Yangyang quickly pulled on the reins and turned to look at Sheng Junyao in shock: "Big brother? What are you doing here?"
"What happened? I had something to do this morning to go to the western suburban camp, but the road there was blocked by a landslide, so I went around here. I don't usually go through the village, but I heard some kids talking about a little girl wearing a golden mask who had just arrived, and a big horse was tied up at the door. I thought something was off, so I asked around to see, and it really is you! What are you doing here?" Sheng Junyao was also quite surprised by her. She had finished her exams yesterday and said she was going to get a good night's sleep today and wasn't going anywhere.
He actually ran into her here.
When Lu Yangyang heard what he said, she thought to herself, "What a coincidence!"
However, she didn't have time to explain to her right now, and said directly, "I was passing by here when an old lady told me that the Zhang landlord's family in their village is forcibly abducting girls and is arranging a marriage for their mentally challenged son. I have to go and see!"
"Brother, it's too late. I'll explain to you later."
Lu Yangyang was afraid something might happen if they were late, so she hurriedly urged Ma Chao to run to Zhang the landlord's house.
Seeing the situation, Sheng Junyao hurriedly led his men to follow.
The group quickly arrived outside Zhang the landlord's house.
It was a lively time here. Although the wedding was held in a hurry, almost half of the village had come. This was near the capital, and the villagers lived a pretty good life. It was a large village, and there were at least a hundred people gathered around Zhang the landlord's house to watch the excitement.
The entrance was completely blocked.
And this landlord's family truly lived up to their reputation as the richest family in the village. Their mansion, with several courtyards, was located at the east end of the village and was incredibly grand.
Unable to squeeze through on his horse, Lu Yangyang jumped off and, taking advantage of his agility, quickly squeezed through the doorway.
At this moment, in the main courtyard, it was time for the wedding ceremony. The bride was dressed in a red dress and held down by the matchmaker and a maid. A red veil covered her head, and there were faint sobbing sounds coming from her.
The landlord's foolish son was quite a sight to behold. He looked to weigh over 200 pounds and was dressed in red with a big red flower on his chest. Drooling, he circled around the bride with a silly grin, calling out, "Bride, bride!"
"Oh dear, groom, don't rush. Let's have the wedding ceremony first. Only after that can you lead the bride into the bridal chamber, understand?" the matchmaker coaxed, supporting the bride.
"Good, good, bride, let's go to the bridal chamber, let's go to the bridal chamber!" The fool clapped his hands happily and stretched out his arms to pounce on the bride.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yangyang rushed over in a few steps, grabbed the idiot's clothes, pulled him back forcefully, and threw him to the ground.
"Who are you? Guards! Someone's causing trouble! Seize her!" The servant standing next to the idiot reacted and shouted hurriedly.
Lu Yangyang kicked each of them flying with a single kick.
The fool was thrown to the ground and cried out, immediately attracting the attention of the guests who had come to watch the spectacle. Even the landlord Zhang, who had just finished getting ready to have his son perform the wedding ceremony, was drawn over. He immediately widened his eyes and shouted, "Who dares to cause trouble in my house? Arrest him! Arrest him and send him to the authorities!"
"Stop!" Sheng Junyao, who had finally squeezed in, drew the long sword from his waist and held it to the neck of Zhang the landlord's foolish son.
"Who are you? What do you want? Let go of my son!" Landlord Zhang pointed at Sheng Junyao with eyes blazing with fury.
Seeing this, Madam Zhang behind him cried out, "My son!"
Her eyes rolled back and she was about to faint when the people behind her hurriedly caught her.
"Why are you trying to disrupt my son's wedding!" Landlord Zhang, ignoring his wife, his eyes already showing signs of panic, shouted while quickly gesturing to the people behind him.
Sheng Junyao gestured to the two guards who had followed him, signaling them to come over, then looked at Lu Yangyang, "Save her first!"
Lu Yangyang stepped forward and kicked the matchmaker who was holding the bride away, then helped the bride up, pulled off the red veil on her head, revealing Lin Shuang's face, and her mouth was stuffed with something.
"Lin Shuang?" Lu Yangyang quickly pulled the gag out of her mouth.
"Miss Lu, hurry, hurry and save our county princess! They've locked her up in the cellar!" Lin Shuang said breathlessly.
Lu Yangyang pulled out a dagger, cut the ropes binding her, grabbed a matchmaker, and slapped the dagger into her face: "Go, lead the way!"
The matchmaker was stunned, her legs trembling. Lu Yangyang lifted her up with one hand: "If you dare say you don't know the way, I'll kill you!"
"I acknowledge you, I acknowledge you, I'll take you there." The matchmaker was completely terrified and didn't dare to delay for a moment. She immediately pointed to the backyard for Lu Yangyang.
Lu Yangyang dragged her towards the backyard, and Lin Shuang staggered after her.
Sheng Junyao also let go of the person and followed.
Landlord Zhang rushed to his son's side, trembling as he checked him over: "Son, are you...are you alright?"
Before the words were even finished, a strong smell of feces and urine filled the air.
Landlord Zhang's eyes rolled back in despair, and he almost fainted as well.
Lu Yangyang dragged the matchmaker all the way to the cellar, kicked over the old woman guarding it, lifted the wooden planks covering the cellar, and shouted inside, "Princess! Princess!"
"woohoo"
Lu Yangyang quickly searched the surroundings and found a bundle of rope that had been hidden. She untied the rope, threw one end down, and handed the other end to Sheng Junyao: "Big brother, you hold on to this, I'll go down."
"I'd better go down." Sheng Junyao looked down at the dark hole below, which wasn't very convenient.
“It’s okay if you’re not feeling well, I’m strong.” Lu Yangyang shoved the rope into his hand, grabbed it, and jumped down.
A moment later, Lu Yangyang's voice came from below: "Big brother, hold on tight, I'm going up."
Sheng Junyao gripped the rope tightly, and Lu Yangyang had Princess Li Duan wrap her arms around her neck as they climbed up the rope.
Princess Liduan followed her, crawling out of the cellar in a disheveled state, and immediately saw Sheng Junyao.
