Chapter 194: Blessing
Just like Li Ningkun from her previous life, he clearly wanted to divorce her very much, but for the sake of her dowry, he could endure it.
But once he reached a high position with no concerns, he started settling old scores with her.
Jiang Ruanxi felt that Lin Feng was the same.
Facing her enemy who killed her mother, even if he liked He Sheng very much, there would still be a knot in his heart.
“Besides, even if he can’t do anything now, at least he can annoy He Sheng a little, and I think that’s pretty good.”
Jiang Ruanxi suddenly stood up. “Forget it, let him do as he pleases. I’ll try on this wedding dress.”
Although it wasn’t the first time wearing it, just thinking that in a few days she could be openly together with Wei Chang made Jiang Ruanxi’s heart burn with excitement.
Finally, the day of the wedding arrived. Jiang Ruanxi thought it would go smoothly, but she never expected an uninvited guest to arrive on the day of the wedding procession.
“Miss, Grand Tutor and Third Master Jiang have arrived.” Qi Momo didn’t know the truth, and her face showed uncontrollable joy when she came in.
You know, the Jiang Family is extremely powerful in the Capital. For them to come see her family’s miss proves that her family’s miss has climbed onto the Jiang Family’s relationship, and in the future, if there’s any matter, the Jiang Family can lend a hand.
But she didn’t know that at this moment, Jiang Ruanxi’s heart was in turmoil.
What are these two doing here?
Could it be that they already know her identity?
“Miss was in the countryside before and might not know that our Grand Tutor never leaves the palace easily. I heard it’s because His Majesty allowed Grand Tutor to come give a blessing.”
Blessing?
Jiang Ruanxi frowned. Due to his health, Jiang Kui stayed year-round on the astrological platform in the Imperial Palace checking the Qin Dynasty’s national fortune, rarely coming out.
Now that the Crown Prince is getting married, it made sense for him to come give a blessing, but Jiang Ruanxi felt this matter wasn’t simple.
Jiang Ruanxi pretended to be very happy. “Oh, that’s the case. Then I’ll have to trouble Grand Tutor.”
Qi Momo didn’t catch her implication and kept joyfully saying, “In our Qin Dynasty, aside from His Majesty and the Empress, no one has been able to invite Grand Tutor. Even if they could, he wouldn’t casually give blessings to just anyone. When the eldest princess got married before, she knelt before His Majesty begging for a long time for Grand Tutor to give a blessing, but His Majesty didn’t agree. Now for Crown Prince’s wedding, Grand Tutor actually took the initiative to speak to His Majesty. Miss, you’re the only one in the Qin Dynasty with this honor.”
Heh, she saw that the intention wasn’t the wine; this might not necessarily be a blessing.
Jiang Ruanxi harbored suspicion in her heart but didn’t make a sound.
“Grand Tutor has arrived.”
Following the announcement from outside, led by Ling Yu, Jiang Kui and Jiang Rui appeared together at the door.
“Grand Tutor, Third Master Jiang, please come in.”
Ling Yu politely said to the two. The moment they saw Jiang Ruanxi.
Jiang Ruanxi clearly saw shock and disbelief in Jiang Rui’s eyes, while Jiang Kui sat in his wheelchair with a steady expression, showing no emotional fluctuations.
“Second… Second Sister?” Jiang Rui was still somewhat shocked. Where was this any Miss Ling? This was clearly Jiang Ruanxi!
Jiang Ruanxi didn’t speak, but Ling Yu’s expression turned a few degrees colder.
“Third Master Jiang, in the future, please don’t say such things. My family’s daughter has only changed in appearance due to long-term medication over the years. First Madam Lin, even His Majesty and Fifth Princess have all confirmed that my family’s daughter is my family’s daughter. Don’t say she’s someone else.”
“Oh, that’s how it is…” Jiang Rui’s expression was awkward, but after a moment he smiled again. “Looks like I really mistook her.”
Jiang Ruanxi kept her head down, appearing very embarrassed, but her heart was extremely nervous.
Perhaps Jiang Rui believed it, but she was certain that Jiang Kui actually didn’t believe it.
It was just that he hid it too deeply; the moment his gaze touched her, she still couldn’t glimpse his true thoughts.
His eyes were calm without ripples or emotion. The instant she met his gaze, not only could she not see his emotional fluctuations, but it also made her heart shudder.
“Everything in the world has similarities. Miss Ling looks like my Second Sister, so it’s human nature for my Third Brother to mistake her. I hope Lord Ling can forgive it.”
Jiang Kui seemed to be apologizing, but his gaze kept staring at Jiang Ruanxi.
Like a snake, as soon as she showed a flaw, he would unhesitatingly pounce and tear her apart.
Jiang Ruanxi was very nervous inside, but her face remained calm, not daring to show any expression.
“Grand Tutor is too serious. My daughter is my only daughter, the treasure I hold in my hands, unique in the Ling Family.”
Saying this, he stepped forward to block in front of Jiang Ruanxi, shielding her from the Jiang brothers’ line of sight.
Jiang Ruanxi’s heart warmed.
Whether in her previous life or this one, she had never experienced father’s love.
But she never expected Ling Yu to stand in front of her and retort everything unfriendly for her.
Jiang Kui lowered his gaze and said indifferently, “Mm, Lord Ling is right. It was my Third Brother who was presumptuous. I see the wedding procession is about to arrive, so let’s pray for blessings early, or we’ll miss the auspicious time.”
Ling Yu nodded.
“I’ll trouble Lord Ling to give me Miss Ling’s birthdate and time.”
Ling Yu had long prepared it and took the birthdate and time from his lapel and handed it to him.
After Jiang Kui’s sickly pale hand took it, Jiang Ruanxi’s heart involuntarily tightened.
Jiang Kui had studied fate arts since childhood and was said to be able to see a person’s past and future through their birthdate and time.
She always felt such things were too eerie, and the former her fundamentally didn’t believe it.
But now…
After experiencing the stealing and swapping fate and rebirth, she really didn’t know what abilities her blood-related eldest brother truly had.
She was afraid he would see something.
Jiang Kui just glanced at the birthdate and time, then closed his eyes, muttering something under his breath.
After a while, he opened his eyes. “Alright, the blessing is complete. Miss Ling will be loving and affectionate with Crown Prince until their hair turns white.”
Lord Ling was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. “Thank you, Grand Tutor.”
“No need to be polite.”
Jiang Kui stared at Jiang Ruanxi. She still kept her head down but was stared at until her scalp went numb. Just as she was about to not hold on, the sound of firecrackers rang out from outside.
Immediately after, the festive voice came. “He’s here, the son-in-law has come to fetch the bride.”
Jiang Ruanxi breathed a sigh of relief, sighing in her heart that Wei Chang had arrived really timely.
Jiang Kui shifted his gaze. “Lord Ling, then we won’t disturb.”
Ling Yu knew he preferred quiet and didn’t keep him.
After Jiang Rui pushed Jiang Kui away, Wei Chang came in and quickly took Jiang Ruanxi away.
At the entrance of Ling Manor.
Jiang Rui looked at the departing wedding procession and couldn’t help asking, “Big Brother, that person really isn’t Jiang Ruanxi?”
“Not certain yet.”
Jiang Rui frowned tightly. “How could it not be certain?”
“The birthdate and time that Lord Ling gave me belonged to a dead person.”
