Chapter 290: Chapter 257: Farce

Xia Zhen trembled all over.

His usually arrogant and domineering mind went blank.

"Young Master..."

Xia Zhen, with bloodshot eyes, searched for Zhou Wangshu’s figure in the crowd.

Zhou Wangshu stood among the people, arms crossed, with a provocative expression on his face.

Xia Zhen tried to get up, but tripped over the blanket, falling forward.

The blanket came loose, revealing his embarrassed state.

Blood splattered out.

"Ah..." Xia Zhen screamed miserably.

The people around showed expressions of not being able to bear to look.

Xia Zhen shrieked, "Get lost, all of you, get out..."

"Rebellious son, what have you done?" Marquis Cheng’an rushed over, looking at the chaotic scene, almost unable to catch his breath.

The wedding ceremony for the bride and groom had already ended, and guests who didn’t arrive immediately were now arriving one after another.

"Prime Minister, please have the crowd disperse," Marquis Cheng’an said weakly.

Prime Minister Wang also had the urge to swear. His daughter’s wedding, first with an old flame of the son-in-law causing a scene, and now his good nephew toyed with the heir of Marquis Cheng’an on the wedding day. If this were a woman, no matter which family’s lady, the big issue could be downplayed. But with this situation, it might be a bit tricky.

"Disperse, disperse," Prime Minister Wang said to the crowd.

The crowd, having seen the drama, knew staying longer would only offend Marquis Cheng’an and Prime Minister Wang, so they quickly dispersed.

Su Rende sneered, "Some young men, even if born male, might not have the heart of a man."

"Dad, shall we still eat?" Su Yaoguang asked.

"Eat, of course we eat, and not just eat, but eat a lot, after all, we gave a pair of Jade Ruyi!"

Although to belittle Prime Minister Wang, that pair of Jade Ruyi not only lacked quality, but also had many flaws, yet still, it was a gift nonetheless.

After sending the bride into the bridal chamber, Xiao Yanci came out to propose toasts.

Having just dealt with the Wen Family situation, Wang Ruyan hadn’t acted up until now. He knew the two were now tied to the same boat; no matter how angry she was inside, as long as he coaxed her, eventually she’d have to forgive him. Otherwise, having just married him, could she really leave? He didn’t mind, but feared Miss Wang couldn’t bear such disgrace. Therefore, with what just happened, not only can Miss Wang not trouble him, she must also find a way to cover it up, ideally perfectly so.

He returned to the banquet and found the atmosphere strange. Thinking it was because of the Wen Family and the child appearing, he squeezed a smile, moving through the crowd, warmly greeting guests, ensuring he seemed unaffected, so the ’rumor’ would collapse on its own.

Strange! Where did Prime Minister Wang go? In such a setting today, shouldn’t he be helping him welcome guests and introduce officials to him?

He saw the National Guardian General Su Rende and Zhou Wangshu, the father-in-law and son-in-law, and noticed Su Rende helping Zhou Wangshu build connections at the wine table, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes.

Same as father-in-law, yet Prime Minister Wang always looked down his nose at him, unlike Su Rende who treated Zhou Wangshu like his own son.

"Where is the Prime Minister?" Xiao Yanci asked a servant.

The servant replied, "The Prime Minister is in the backyard."

Xiao Yanci’s face darkened further.

It’s the toast-offering time now, and Prime Minister Wang hiding in the backyard, what does this mean? Could he be doing this on purpose, wanting to express dissatisfaction with what just happened?

Wen Family is just a trivial woman, he could resolve her swiftly. But the child...

This child was his first. He could deal with the Wen Family, but had no way to deal with the child. It reminded him that in a previous life, at this same time, he also had a child, but the birth mother wasn’t from the Wen Family, but that woman Jiang Yihuan.

Jiang Yihuan...

The last time in the theater, they enjoyed themselves; could that woman be pregnant with his child again? If she bore his child, and the child inherited the title from the Marquis Mansion, it would mean his descendants would inherit another’s title without him lifting a finger; just the thought excited him.

He saw Jiang Yihuan among the women. That woman really had a glorious look now, all dolled up she even resembled a noblewoman, still as alluring as before.

No wonder she had experienced many men, she really had her ways with men, even making him a bit addicted.

Jiang Yihuan noticed something, turned back to see Xiao Yanci dressed in his wedding robes.

Toward this man, Jiang Yihuan felt nothing now. Her mind always recalled the scene of her killing Zhong Lanhua, wanting to distance herself from this man.
