Two days later.

The prosperous city of Chang'an became more lively and prosperous.

Guests had already gathered in front of the gate of Duke Zheng's Mansion, all bringing gifts to congratulate Wei Shuyu on his marriage.

Wei Shuyu, on the other hand, wore a red groom's suit early, mounted a horse, and set off from Zheng Guogong's Mansion with his sedan chair to the east corner of the city to greet the bride.

Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaidao, and Fang Yiai, as the brothers who received the marriage, were also dressed in festive costumes, riding horses and following behind Wei Shuyu.

In a remote corner in the east of the city, two wooden houses were now decorated with lights and people gathered.

Princess Hengshan was young, so Li Shimin, out of compensation, granted Wu Meiniang permission to marry at the same level as the princess. At this time, the palace also sent special dignitaries to see off the bride.

It should have been at Duke Ying's Mansion, but Wu Meiniang refused to go back no matter what, and insisted on staying here, and the nobles in the palace did not dare to stop her.

Inside the main house.

Wu Meiniang had already put on a red dress and wore a gold and silver harp on her head, which could only be worn by those marrying at the princess level in the palace.

Wu Meiniang sat quietly in front of the dressing table, looking at the shadow in the bronze mirror, and she couldn't help but feel a little dazed, "Is the person in the mirror me? Are you getting married now?"

Although Wu Meiniang does not dislike Wei Shuyu, she is still a stranger she has only met once...

Mrs. Yang was combing her daughter's hair at the side, and she couldn't help but smile on her thin face, "When my daughter was born, she was about the size of a palm, but she will get married and become a grown-up girl in the blink of an eye."

"Mother." Wu Meiniang felt extremely reluctant to marry.

Yang held Wu Meiniang's hand and said seriously: "Then Wei Shuyu should be a good person. If Mei Niang marries him, he won't suffer anymore..."

"It's a pity that Mr. Ying Guo left early, otherwise he wouldn't have seen you off in my mother's wooden house." Yang couldn't help but sigh.

Wu Meiniang clenched her fists secretly, "We have nothing to do with Duke Ying's Mansion anymore!"

…

The nobles in the palace continued to dress up Wu Mei Niang. She had dark eyebrows like distant mountains, a delicate nose, delicate cherry lips, and a pair of beautiful autumn eyes... clear and bright. The only thing is that the light red scar on her forehead has not disappeared.

…

"My sister is so beautiful."

"No wonder Wei Shuyu dared to tell His Majesty that he wanted to marry his sister that day in the palace." Two nobles in the palace said with a chuckle.

"And there are various perfumes and soaps in your room. I'm afraid Mr. Wei sent someone to deliver them, right?"

"My sister may not know that this perfume has been sold for dozens of dollars in the palace. It is even harder to find a bottle on the market. My sister has so many here." A nobleman in the palace said enviously.

Wu Meiniang looked at several bottles of perfume with a dazed expression, as if Wei Shuyu had sent someone to deliver it to the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce on the first day it opened. She had never used it... She only knew that it was popular in Chang'an.

Wu Meiniang quickly came to her senses and said, "I'll give my sister a few bottles later, just pick the ones you like."

"That can't be done. This is what Young Master Wei has given to you." The nobles in the palace are just female officials. How dare they covet the things belonging to Young Master Wei's bride?

"This is my sister's little wish, and after marrying him... there should be no shortage of it." Wu Meiniang said slowly.

"The Chang'an Chamber of Commerce is the property of Mr. Wei and the others, so there will definitely be no shortage of it, so I thanked my sister."

And while we were chatting.

There was a loud noise outside the door.

"Meiniang, Mei Niang."

"Sister, sister?"

"Young Master, Young Master, you can't come in, you can't come in, I'm dressing up in the house."

"Let me in, why should I stop you? She is my sister, and I am the young master of Duke Ying's mansion. I am blinding you!"

Two men broke into the house roughly, looking around with greedy eyes, and took a few bottles of perfume and put them in their pockets.

"My dear sister, do you know how much a bottle of this perfume costs? It's fifty dollars. With such a good thing, why don't you give it to your brother as soon as possible?" The two men were still looking at Wu Meiniang greedily.

"Young master, you can't, that's what Mr. Wei gave to Mei Niang!" A maid in the palace said quickly.

"How presumptuous! Meiniang and I are half-siblings, and what's hers is mine. What nonsense!" the two men yelled loudly.

Wu Meiniang also slowly stood up, her face sank slightly, her eyes showed disgust, and she stared at the two men.

This is his good brother. After his father died, he kicked his mother out of Yingguo's mansion and locked himself in a woodshed. His life was worse than that of a maid, and he even wanted to send himself to a brothel...

If Wu Meiniang hadn't cleverly suggested entering the palace and getting rid of these two 'good brothers', she might have died countless times.

"Hey, sister, why are you looking at your brother with such eyes? You are from Duke Ying's house after all. Today you are getting married, so your brother should come and see you off." The two men looked perfunctory, seeing someone in the room.

If you have good things, put them in your pocket.

Wu Meiniang's voice was cold and she spoke slowly: "Mother and I have nothing to do with Duke Ying's Mansion."

"Stop talking nonsense, you have been eating and drinking from Duke Ying's Palace for so many years. Now you want to draw a clear line with those from Duke Ying's Palace?" The two men had playful smiles on their faces.

"I have already paid it off!" Wu Meiniang gritted her teeth and said coldly.

"What can you repay for the gift of childbirth and the gift of upbringing?" It was obviously not the first time that the two men stood on the moral high ground.

Sure enough, Wu Meiniang became speechless.

Wu Meiniang's two brothers used these words to overwhelm others with their righteousness, and they never failed. The greedy light in their eyes became even more intense, and they said with a smile: "We are brothers and sisters, why are we so separated? We are a family."

"What do you want to do?"

"Hey, good sister, aren't you married to Wei Shuyu? My brother heard that the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce is his property. We are a family. Does Ying Guogong's government also want to participate in it? Not more, half is enough.

Here we go." The two finally revealed their ultimate goal.

"I'm not married yet!" Wu Meiniang put her fists under her sleeves, clenching her palms and turning them white.

Before Wu Meiniang was married, her two brothers were greedy and demanded the Wei family's property. If she made such a request, how should the Wei family view themselves? How should they treat their mother?

"Brother knows that you are not married yet, isn't it about time? When my sister gets married, we will be a family. The Duke of Ying has raised you with great kindness for more than ten years. He wants half of a shop in the Duke of Zheng, which is not too much.

Right?" The two of them were talking, their hearts getting hotter and hotter.

The Chang'an Chamber of Commerce has become very popular in Chang'an. It is roughly estimated that the daily sales are no less than 10,000 guan. If you take half of it, it will be a full 5,000 guan. After one year, the amount of money earned is unimaginable...

Wu Meiniang stood quietly, listening to the words of her two brothers, her heart felt like she had eaten countless Coptis chinensis, her eyes became extremely dim, and she was extremely sad...

Before marrying into the Duke of Zheng's palace, you will be threatened by your two brothers, and this is just the beginning... Once you get married, the threats will turn into threats...

Wu Meiniang had no hope of survival in her heart. She looked at a pair of scissors in front of the dressing table and just wanted to pick up the scissors and die with them...

At this moment, a broad, thick and warm hand grasped Wu Meiniang's white and purple fist clenched with anger.

"Don't be anxious, you are not afraid of death, what else do you have to fear?" Wei Shuyu put his ear next to Wu Meiniang's ear, and tightly grasped Wu Meiniang's fists with both hands, opened her fingers one by one, and then held them again.

Wu Meiniang was very close to Wei Shuyu, almost leaning against Wei Shuyu's chest. She could smell his breath clearly... and felt the warmth coming from her hands. Wu Meiniang couldn't help but froze, her despair and helpless heart,

At this moment...it became quiet.
