Chapter 420 Groom Substitution
"Dad, since my brother hasn't woken up yet, why don't we find someone to take his place? The wedding must not be delayed." Cheng Yun'er also knew that this was not the right thing to do, but at this point, there was really no other way.
Everything has been prepared and the guests who should be notified have also been notified. If the date is changed at the last minute, it will be too late.
How could the Prime Minister not know the truth? There were already guests arriving outside the door one after another, and it was impossible to ask them to go back.
There is only one solution now, so let's do this: "You handle this matter, don't bother me."
The Prime Minister flicked his sleeves and walked away angrily, and the matter was settled.
The housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion had a son who was a playmate of Cheng Kun since childhood. The two were of similar age, so Cheng Yun'er asked him to marry Li Xiaoxiao in place of Cheng Kun.
The housekeeper's son is called Cheng Changfeng. He has the same character as Cheng Kun and also likes to eat, drink and have fun. He was naturally very happy to get this job today.
He has been following Cheng Kun since he was a child. When he was young, he was ignorant and just thought that he was a good friend of Cheng Kun. Only when he grew up did he realize the difference in status.
From then on, he fantasized about exchanging identities with Cheng Kun one day so that he could experience the power of the prime minister's son. After waiting for so many years, his wish finally came true today.
Moreover, it was a happy day. He was about the same size as Cheng Kun, and when he put on Cheng Kun's bright red wedding gown, he felt that he was worthy of the title of the Prime Minister's son.
He secretly lamented the unfairness of fate. No matter how outstanding he was, he was just a slave's son all his life. Cheng Kun was really lucky. He was born with the identity and status that many people longed for but could not reach all their lives.
Cheng Changfeng is usually not a low-key person, and now wearing this wedding dress, he acts like the son of the Prime Minister, with his neck raised high, almost to the sky.
The matchmaker had a smile on her face and kept talking to him, and then she talked about some rules and etiquette of Li Xiaoxiao.
Cheng Changfeng responded casually with a nonchalant attitude. It’s just marrying a woman, why are there so many rules?
The entire Prime Minister's Mansion was covered with big red wedding characters, creating a festive atmosphere. The wedding procession had already been prepared, with the sounds of firecrackers and suonas rising and falling one after another.
Finally, the auspicious time arrived. Led by the matchmaker, Cheng Changfeng slowly walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and sat on the tall horse covered with red silk.
For a moment he was extremely proud and bowed to the passers-by who were watching the fun on the street, as if today was his wedding day.
"Isn't this Master Cheng? Why is the person getting married today different?"
"Definitely not. I have met Master Cheng several times, and I will definitely not remember it wrongly."
"That's really strange. Do you need help from others when getting married?"
"You can't say for sure. You don't know that this marriage is an imperial decree from the emperor. Maybe Master Cheng doesn't like it, so he uses this method to resist."
"Now that you put it that way, it's really possible."
Cheng Changfeng seemed not to hear other people's comments and just did what he was supposed to do. The smile on his face had been there since he put on the wedding dress, which showed how happy he was.
The wedding procession from the Prime Minister's Mansion was huge and there was a lot of banging and beating along the way. It was very lively. The sounds of suona, gongs and drums intertwined together and could be heard from far away.
Li Xiaoxiao had just finished dressing up when the maid at the door came to report that Zhou Lingfei had arrived.
I didn't expect her to come today. While Li Xiaoxiao was feeling emotional, her mood also became much brighter. Since Zhou Lingfei was willing to come, it meant that she had let it go.
In fact, she had nothing to do with Gu Feiyan. Everything was just her imagination. Now that she could get over it, it was naturally great.
Before she could go out, Zhou Lingfei walked in from the corner of the door. After not seeing her for many days, her face looked much thinner and she looked listless. She was no longer as energetic as usual and her face was full of loneliness and sadness.
"Ling Fei, how did you get yourself into this state? Don't you know how to take care of your body?" Li Xiaoxiao quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Lingfei's hand, full of heartache.
"No, I haven't had a good appetite recently and can't eat anything. It should be because of the hot weather. I think I'll be fine after a while. I heard that you were getting married today, so I came to see you specially." Zhou Lingfei pursed her lips and began to explain to her.
At the same time, I was also conveying another meaning to her: I was not feeling well, so I didn't come to see you.
"You are not in good health, so don't move around casually. As for my marriage..." Li Xiaoxiao said halfway and didn't continue, mainly because she didn't know how to explain it.
"I know everything. This is how we women are. We can only accept our fate by following the emperor's orders." Zhou Lingfei was telling the truth. Wasn't she almost forced to get married some time ago?
Fortunately, Li Xiaoxiao gave her advice and helped her deal with Nie Junfeng, otherwise she would have ended up in a miserable situation.
"Don't say that. Women hold up half the sky. Why should they rely on men to live? They can also live freely and unrestrainedly." Li Xiaoxiao completely disagreed with her words.
Perhaps due to the deep-rooted ideas of ancient times, women obey their fathers at home and their husbands after marriage. They have no status of their own and live their whole lives like a puppet.
This is something Li Xiaoxiao absolutely cannot accept. She is an independent, vibrant person and will not be anyone's appendage.
Maybe Zhou Lingfei couldn't understand what she said, but she had to say it out loud, and at the same time she was saying it to herself, telling herself not to change her thoughts and cognition just because she has lived here for a long time.
"Women are meant to depend on men for life. This is a fact and a fate that no woman can escape." Zhou Lingfei still insisted on her own ideas and even felt that Li Xiaoxiao's ideas were somewhat shocking.
It is also possible that Li Xiaoxiao can earn money on her own and be independent, but there is only one Li Xiaoxiao.
"Okay, Ling Fei, I can't convince you now, but I will prove myself with my own actions." Li Xiaoxiao didn't intend to argue with her.
"Xiaoxiao, the Prime Minister's Mansion is a big place. When you get there, you should be more restrained and try not to argue with Cheng Kun's mother. You have an unstable foundation and she is your mother-in-law. It will be easy for her to control you."
The main reason Zhou Lingfei came here this time was to tell Li Xiaoxiao these things. She knew that Li Xiaoxiao had lived in the capital for a short time and had a low status. If she arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, she might really be controlled.
As good sisters, she naturally didn't want to see Li Xiaoxiao become like that, although she still had some resentment in her heart.
But she couldn't hold back her thoughts and came directly here. No matter what her relationship with Gu Feiyan was before, it was all over now.
Li Xiaoxiao was about to explain to her that she would not marry Cheng Kun, but before she could open her mouth, she heard steady footsteps coming from outside the door. She subconsciously looked outside and found that the person coming was Gu Feiyan.
