Chapter 2922: Chapter 2922: Verifying the Hypothesis (6)
Yang Ruxin encountered Xiaohei in the middle of the night.
"Did someone shave you bald?" Yang Ruxin looked at Xiaohei’s pitiful state and laughed unkindly.
Xiaohei rolled its eyes at her, it had met its match, alright? Then it turned around and brought in the black eagle it had bitten to death.
Yang Ruxin frowned, then went over to take a bamboo tube from the black eagle’s claws, emptied a slip of paper from it, and laughed after taking a glance, raising her hand to rub Xiaohei’s head: "You’ve done well."
Xiaohei rolled its eyes at Yang Ruxin again, no biggie.
Three days later, the Cui family’s daughter was to be married, and the day before, they sent celebratory candies to the Du Family.
"The marriage was arranged long ago," the butler came in person, "The Suzhou Li family’s young master was betrothed to our young lady while still in the womb. Last month, our young lady came of age, so naturally, the wedding must take place."
"Congratulations." Madam Ye received the butler, "We will definitely come tomorrow."
"That’s great, I also hope Madam Gu can come to have a cup of wedding wine."
"Of course, we must come. This is a joyous occasion, we must share in the happiness." Yang Ruxin nodded hurriedly.
On the day of the celebration, Yang Ruxin accompanied Madam Ye and Du Juan, arriving early at the Cui family. They witnessed the bride bidding farewell to her parents, then entering the bridal sedan. They also saw Madam Cui personally splash a basin of water at the door before the procession set off with music and drums.
The Cui family banquet began, but Grandfather Cui left shortly due to his poor health.
Yang Ruxin stared at the old man’s back with furrowed brows.
"Madam, is there something wrong?" Du Juan asked quietly.
"I just feel this Grandfather Cui isn’t the same." Yang Ruxin muttered to herself, it felt different from when she and Gu Qingheng had explored by night.
People can change their appearance, voice, or even stature, but everyone has their unique aura or atmosphere, even twins have slight differences.
Her senses were sharp, so it felt different.
"Different in what way?" Du Juan frowned.
"You’ll find out soon enough." Yang Ruxin looked at Du Juan and smiled, her guess would be verified by others.
By now, the bridal sedan had left Quanzhou City with music and drums, and then the bride was moved from the sedan to a carriage, as it would take two days to reach Suzhou by carriage, but four to five days by sedan.
However, the carriage had not traveled far before it was blocked.
"Who goes there? Please make way for us." The groom stepped forward to negotiate, "We are a wedding procession, so if you could be so kind..."
Gu Qingheng stepped forward directly: "Lord Saint, do you not intend to come out and meet this General?"
The people in the wedding procession suddenly gripped their weapons, and the groom frowned: "Friend, we have no past grudges nor recent enmity, what do you mean by this? If my wedding is delayed..."
However, Gu Qingheng didn’t give him a chance to finish and directly flung a dart toward the carriage.
The groom hurriedly leaped forward, drawing his treasure sword, and with a clang, knocked the dart to the ground.
"The young master of the Suzhou Li family is frail, unlike you with such skills." Gu Qingheng laughed.
"You..." The groom’s face darkened.
"Haha." Suddenly laughter came from inside the carriage, not a woman’s but a man’s voice, "Gu Qingheng, what will it take for you to let me go?"
