Thinking of this, Mo Li sighed and walked outside. There were other things he needed to arrange.

It was just daybreak.

The procession sent by Marquis Shuo to welcome the bride marched to the inn that the King of Liao City stayed in.

Qiao Shu, who was sleepless for a whole night, got up early.

After she got dressed, she hurried to walk out and hoped that what Lan Ruojing had said was wrong.

Just when she walked to the door, her father Qiao Yanlin saw Qiao Shu run out hastily and frowned, so he asked her, "Shu, where are you going in the early morning?"

"Ah, dad... I want to eat the meat buns made by Zhang's restaurant. Every time I go there, lots of people line up to buy them. I want to go to buy it earlier so that I don't need to wait in line." Hearing the voice, Qiao Shu felt nervous. She stopped to find an excuse and looked at Qiao Yanlin.

Qiao Yanlin walked to the front of Qiao Shu and nodded with a smile, "Greedy guts. It is too cold outside. Ask the servants to buy them for you next time. I need to go out to deal with things. I will buy them for you in Zhang's restaurant when I come back."

"Ah... I don't want to bother you, dad. I think... I think I can go out to take a walk since I have gotten up." Hearing what Qiao Yanlin said, Qiao Shu hurried to say, avoiding eye contact.

Qiao Yanlin nodded, "OK, let's go out together."

Hearing this, Qiao Shu sighed and said with a smile, "OK."

Then they walked out.

When they walked to Zhang's restaurant, Qiao Yanlin said to Qiao Shu, "Wait for a minute."

"OK." Qiao Shu nodded, looked around, and found nothing strange. She thought Lan Ruojing really cheated her.

Qiao Yanlin walked in front of Zhang's restaurant, "I want to buy two buns, boss."

"OK." The seller in the restaurant replied and took out a piece of paper from the drawer.

The seller took out two buns from the steamer. After he wrapped them up, he put them in front of Qiao Yanlin and said with a smile, "Hot meat buns. Four yuan for two buns."

"Here you are." Qiao Yanlin handed out the money from the sleeve to the seller.

The seller took the money, gave the buns to Qiao Yanlin, and said with a smile, "Exactly. Thank you."

Qiao Yanlin turned back with the buns and walked in front of Qiao Shu. He handed the buns to Qiao Shu and said with a smile, "Go back home quickly. It's too cold outside. Hurry to eat them in case they will be cold later."

"OK, dad." Qiao Shu took the buns and replied with a smile.

Qiao Yanlin nodded and said, "I need to leave first."

Qiao Yanlin walked to one side and disappeared at a corner.

Qiao Shu waited for a while. After her father left for a while, she looked at the buns and then ran to the mansion of Marquis Shuo.

She wanted to figure it out!

In the inn

An Qin had worn the wedding dress and her head was covered by the red veil, waiting for the procession to welcome her.

"I think Your Highness is the most beautiful woman today. Shuo Ling must be attracted by you!" Suotu walked in front of An Qin and said to her with a smile.

An Qin lifted the red veil and pointed at Suotu's head softly, "Oily girl. Am I just beautiful today?"

"It's my fault. Your Highness is always beautiful." Suotu said to An Qin in a naughty tone.

She stood up and covered the red veil for An Qin, "Your Highness, the red veil should not be lifted casually. It should be lifted by your husband on the wedding night."

"Why hasn't he come? It's late." An Qin nodded, frowned, and asked Suotu.

Suotu replied, "Wait for a minute, Your Highness. Let me go to have a look."

"OK." An Qin nodded.

Just when Suotu walked to the door and opened it, the King of Liao City walked in with a smile.

"My Lord." Suotu made a bow with her hands cupped in front and said.

The King of Liao City nodded to Suotu and walked to the front of An Qin directly.

"Dad." An Qin was covered by the red veil, but she still felt a little bit shy.

The King of Liao City said with a smile, "I come to see you. Sicha said the procession sent by Marquis Shuo to welcome you was approaching the inn. I come to see whether you are ready."

"Yes. Just now, Your Highness asked me to check the procession sent by Marquis Shuo." Suotu walked to the front of An Qin and said with a smile.

Hearing this, the King of Liao City frowned, "Are you anxious to get married and leave dad, Qin? If so, I will feel sad."

"Dad, don't believe what Suotu said. I don't want to leave you quickly. I hope to stay with you forever." An Qin stood up and walked to the front of her dad and shook his arms.

Hearing this, the King of Liao City laughed, "Silly girl. Anyway, you should get married when you are grown up."

"Dad——" An Qin fawned.

The King of Liao City patted An Qin.

At this time, the sound of firecrackers came from the door of the inn downstairs.

The King of Liao City patted An Qin slightly, "Honey, here comes the procession to welcome the bride. Let's go downstairs."

An Qin stood straight, nodded, and walked downstairs supported by the King of Liao City and Suotu!

Since she married Shuo Ling as a concubine, complex wedding customs were avoided.

The bridesmaid walked forward from the sedan chair. Looking like all other bridesmaids, she had a beauty mole on her face, wore big red lips and heavy blusher.

After she saw An Qin, the bridesmaid shouted with a smile, "Bride gets in the sedan chair."

Then she hurried to walk forward to lift the curtain of the sedan chair.

An Qin turned back to address the King of Liao City in a low voice.

The King of Liao City smiled to pat An Qin's hand and whispered to her, "Hurry up. I will arrive there soon."

An Qin nodded slightly and got in the sedan chair supported by Suotu.

After she entered the sedan chair, the bridesmaid shouted, "Let's go."

After the bridesmaid finished, the sound of firecrackers rang out.

Then the procession marched to the mansion of Marquis Shuo!

The King of Liao City followed the sedan chair.

Before Qiao Shu reached the mansion of Marquis Shuo, she saw a crowd of people block her way in front. Qiao Shu frowned and wondered what happened there.

Thinking of this, Qiao Shu hurried to walk forward and asked the children who were looking at the procession.

"Little boy, what’s happening here?" Qiao Shu asked a little boy.

The little boy smiled and said to Qiao Shu, "Just somebody will marry a concubine. Later we can snatch something on the way thrown by the procession."

"Somebody will have a concubine. Do you know who will marry a concubine?" Hearing this, Qiao Shu felt nervous, but she asked with a glimmer of hope.

The little boy looked at the buns in Qiao Shu's hand and scratched his head.

Seeing this, Qiao Shu put the buns in front of the little boy and continued, "As long as you tell me, I will give the meat buns to you."

"I heard one Marquis would marry a concubine, but I don't remember who he exactly is." The little boy heard what Qiao Shu said, looked at the buns eagerly, and hurried to reply to her.

Hearing this, Qiao Shu frowned and continued to ask the little boy, "Think about it carefully. Is he Marquis Shuo?"

"Yeah, yep. It's him." Hearing what Qiao Shu said, the little boy suddenly remembered it, nodded, and said with a smile.

Although Qiao Shu was prepared for it, she felt very upset after hearing the truth.

At this time, the procession to welcome the bride came back. Through the crowd, Qiao Shu kept her eyes fixed on the sedan chair, lowered her charming eyes, and tears ran down her cheeks again.

Then the buns dropped from her hand. Seeing this, the little boy bent down quickly to pick up the buns. Then he looked at Qiao Shu and asked, "Sister, sister, what's the matter?"

Qiao Shu turned back and walked to one side.

The little boy felt puzzled, scratched his head, and wondered what the matter with the sister was.

Then he shook his head and didn't care about it because he had buns to eat.

Thinking of this, the little boy opened the paper that had wrapped up the buns and bit the buns.

There were few people in the street. Maybe they went to watch the procession.

Qiao Shu felt her legs heavy as if her legs had been poured into lead. Her last hope disappeared.

Whether Yang Zijin appeared or not, Shuo Ling didn't care about her.

Because of this, she had done a lot of bad things. In Jiandu, she killed Lan. Worse still, she was bothered by Lan Ruojing. She fell in unrequited love and felt she was just a joke.

Qiao Shu felt dizzy. The moment she fell down, Lan Ruojing hurried to run out and support Qiao Shu.

Lan Ruojing looked at Qiao Shu with a smile, "I didn't cheat you. Have you made the decision, Miss Qiao?"

"Mr. Lan, I don't want to talk with you about it." Qiao Shu hurried to push away Lan Ruojing's arms, wiped her tears with her handkerchief, and looked at Lan Ruojing.

Lan Ruojing sneered and shook his head, "It's OK. You can go to my home to meet me after you make the decision."

Qiao Shu didn't care about Lan Ruojing anymore, so she turned back to leave there quickly.

On the other side, the King of Liao City asked his servants to throw some money to the crowd everywhere the sedan chair passed.

People surrounding crowded to snatch the money. People who snatched the money felt very happy. The money could cover the expenses of common people for almost half a year.

Then someone in the crowd said, "Who is the bride? She is too nice."
