Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 279 How can we easily disobey?

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums came from outside. It was the wedding procession.

Suddenly, a dozen people jumped out from a space in a mighty manner.

"My Lord! My Lord! We still haven't found the eldest master!" the leading man said anxiously.

At this time, a man in a long green robe walked out of a room. He was Tang Qian, the Marquis of Tiannan Mansion.

Everyone saw that he looked calm and had no worries at all.

He put his hands behind his back and said sternly, "Rebellious son! My Tiannan Marquisate will be destroyed by you sooner or later!"

But from his tone, it could be heard that he was extremely angry. Mu Huayan saw his hands trembled behind his back.

At this time, the bridal sedan landed outside the Marquis's residence. A maid dressed very fresh and refined pulled the curtain of the sedan, and said in a sharp but slightly worried voice, "Princess, listen to me, we can't get married. The eldest son of the Tang family is simply..."

"Qiu Xin, let go." A harsh voice came from inside the sedan.

"Princess, you, you are really too reckless, Qiu Xin, don't let go!"

The maid's hands that held the curtain of the sedan chair trembled slightly. She didn't know what else she could do to make her give up the idea of ​​marrying into the Tiannan Marquis's Mansion.

Leng Ruyin in the sedan chair had an expression on her face. Her veil covered her head. She held the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, almost wrinkling them.

"Today, I, Leng Ruyin, am determined to marry into the Tiannan Marquis' Mansion, and no one can stop me!" Her tone was very resolute.

After saying this, she flipped over the top of the sedan chair and jumped out, then walked into Tiannan Marquis's residence. The maid also reacted quickly and hugged her thighs immediately.

"Just listen to Qiu Xin's advice. Young Master Tang doesn't love you at all! Why are you doing this?"

She no longer cared about the master-servant relationship and was willing to give it her all. She was not afraid of being punished by the princess, as long as she could wake up this silly princess.

Leng Ruyin raised her hand as if to hit her, but the maid didn't hide and looked at her with sadness, tears welling up in her eyes.

She was really thinking about herself. She was a personal maid who had been with her since she was a child. She treated her like a sister. How could she bring herself to do that?

A figure flashed in from the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. It was the spy of the Marquis' Mansion who brought the news, "My Lord, Young Master Tang is now..."

After hearing this, he frowned and went out to apologize to Leng Ruyin. It was clear that Tang Qian had already agreed to the marriage and even accepted the imperial decree.

But his son Tang Linfeng disagreed with the marriage and had just found a good opportunity to escape. However, if he disobeyed the order, the Tiannan Marquisate might be implicated.

Tang Qian actually didn't want to embarrass his son, but he couldn't disobey the imperial decree. Even if the Tiannan Marquisate had a hundred guts, it wouldn't dare to go against the royal family.

Leng Ruyin fell in love with Tang Linfeng because of a chance encounter...

He confessed his crime before he even walked out of the door, and his face looked like he accepted the punishment.

"Tang Qian is here to apologize to the princess on behalf of his rebellious son!! I will leave it to the princess to decide!"

He knelt on his knees as soon as he finished speaking. Without waiting for her to speak, Tang Qian continued, "He, Tang Linfeng, is not worthy of the princess in any way, whether in terms of character or status."

But Leng Ruyin laughed and said, "My Lord, there is no need to be so reserved. It was I who insisted on marrying He who made the decision."

After hearing this, Qiu Xin felt even more indignant for her. She was so angry that she was anxious and annoyed. "Princess! How can you say such things? After all, you are a princess canonized by the emperor. Such words undermine your identity and status."

But Leng Ruyin pulled her aside and helped Tang Qian up, but he refused to get up and said in panic, "I dare you to ask the princess to cancel this marriage with His Majesty!"

Isn't it obvious that he wants to cancel the engagement? Tang Qian doesn't want to harm the entire Tang family because of this marriage. Besides, this marriage was originally decided by the emperor and the virtuous prince.

Leng Ruyin was indeed fond of Tang Linfeng, but it just happened to be the right time. She just took advantage of the imperial decree to agree to the marriage.

In fact, she knew in her heart that she should have refused the emperor and the others from the beginning. After all, she could see that there was no shadow of herself in Tang Linfeng's eyes.

She stood there thinking for a long time. If she agreed to Tang Qian not to marry into Tiannan Marquis's Mansion, then thousands of people including Tang Qian would be convicted and imprisoned.

She said sternly, "But the emperor has already issued an imperial decree for this marriage, how can we disobey it so easily?"

Tang Qian didn't dare to look up after hearing this. His body was as steady as a statue standing still. For a moment, the scene was silent.

Suddenly a clear voice broke the silence.

"Tang Linfeng has met Princess Yunmeng. Linfeng knows that he is not worthy of someone as noble as the princess, so he asks the princess to come with him to the emperor to cancel this marriage."

When she heard the familiar voice, she was startled at first, then turned around and took off her veil. Her face was made up very delicately. She was a naturally beautiful person, and this smile made her look even more stunning.

She was so lost in thought as she watched Tang Linfeng bow his head in front of her that she didn't even care about what he had just said. "Are you coming back to marry me?"

The maid wanted to go forward and say something but was pushed away by her. Tang Linfeng repeated what he had just said. She sobered up for a moment and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

She was very disappointed and clenched her hands tightly. She hoped that he would come back to marry her, but the reality was not like that.

Looking at Tang Linfeng, who made her heart beat fast and her face blush frequently, she didn't know what to do.

A silver-colored tree in front of the door is in full bloom. The summer breeze blows, and the silver and red petals fall one after another. They are stepped on by people, or picked up by children and ground into pollen.

Leng Ruyin looked a little embarrassed. After a long silence, she was about to speak when she was interrupted by a cheer. It was a summer flower viewing festival being held on a pleasure boat in the distance.

Both sides of the river were full of summer flowers, which were very eye-catching. A wedding banquet was being held on another pleasure boat. Even across the street, one could feel the happiness of the newlyweds.

At this moment, she clearly realized that the man in front of her did not like her, and it had always been her unrequited love.

"I, I..."

Before she could finish her words, the sound of horse hooves was heard, followed by the harsh sound of horse neighing. She turned her head and saw that the person coming was her father, Prince Xian.

She was immediately confused, not understanding why her father came here, and there were no lights or decorations in the mansion at this time. Wasn't it obvious that he didn't take him seriously?

She even insulted Princess Yunmeng so much that she had to take off her wedding dress in a hurry, and then had a conversation with Tang Qian who was very angry behind her.

"This, this is not possible." Tang Qian was a little surprised.

So before Tang Linfeng could react, she had already pulled him up and ran away. This was the only way to save Tiannan Marquis Mansion now - running away with the groom.

Mu Huayan followed them all the way to the painted boat where the Summer Flower Festival was just being held. The huge boat was decorated in a very luxurious style. It must have been a festival held by a rich family or an official family.

Mu Qing and the others' aura was cut off when they arrived at Tiannan Marquis Mansion. The only way now is to follow Tang Linfeng. Maybe he knows the whereabouts of Tang Xuanze and the others.

After Princess Yunmeng finished explaining and reconciling with him, a faint and refreshing flower fragrance filled the air. Suddenly, everything around them stopped, as if time had stopped flowing.

He looked around in confusion and found that everyone had stopped moving, and Yun Meng was also motionless. Even the fish jumping out of the water around him had stopped moving.

Mu Huayan jumped out of the space. Tang Linfeng felt that this figure was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was.

"What do you mean, sir?" he asked, raising his sleeves to brush across the frozen scenery and people around him.

She leaned on the railing, took off her veil, and plucked a flower by the river, saying: "Tang Linfeng, the eldest son of Tiannan Marquis Mansion, tried to tease my junior sister last time but failed..."

After she finished speaking, she walked to Yunmeng's side, raised her hand and gently stroked Yunmeng's cheek, and continued: "This time you want to marry the Princess Yunmeng of the Princess's Mansion?"

After hearing these words, he recalled his previous rude behavior and felt a little regretful, but that was not his intention. "So it's the girl. I wonder why the girl is looking for me this time?"

She pinned the flowers she had picked in her hair and said, "It's a long story. Has your brother Tang Xuanze returned home recently?"

"My junior sister and a fellow Taoist disappeared some time ago, along with Tang Xuanze." While saying this, she kept staring at Tang Linfeng, observing the changes in his facial expression.

"Xuan Ze is missing? He was still in the mansion a few days ago." He frowned slightly and spoke in a nervous tone.

"When he came back, he brought two good friends with him. I think they are your junior sister and fellow Taoist."

"I only met him once at that time. Later, I received the imperial decree brought by Eunuch Qu Shi, which was about marrying Yun Meng."

"When I went back to look for him, he had disappeared."

"Is there any place he often goes? To be honest, they are being targeted by the Blood Demon Sect. If they are not found, their lives may be in danger." Mu Huayan said.

It turned out that Tang Xuanze left in such a hurry because he didn't want to implicate his family.
