The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 319 Wedding Ceremony

The maid urged them on, and the crowd chattered, creating a tense and somber atmosphere.

"Okay, I'm coming right now."

Li Cunxu picked up the knife with his left hand and slashed at his own neck.

"Child, no!"

Madam Cao cried out in surprise.

"boom"

A gunshot rang out, echoing through the blue sky.

Everyone was shocked, only to see that the maid had been shot between the eyebrows and had fallen to the ground dead.

When everyone looked again, they saw that Li Cunxu was holding a pistol in his right hand, with a wisp of smoke rising from the muzzle.

"Mother, are you alright?"

Li Cunxu put away his gun and ran quickly towards Madam Cao, grabbing her arm and shouting.

"You little rascal, you scared me to death! What happened? What weapon did you use just now? It was so amazing!"

"Madam Cao asked."

"Mother, that's a pistol. Twilight Sparkle made it for me to use in self-defense."

She deliberately stalled for time, which gave me the opportunity to shoot the assassin.”

Li Cunxu explained.

"It seems Twilight Sparkle saved me. How come that girl is so endearing?"

Madam Cao sighed and continued:

"Ziyue, thank you. My son likes you, and I like you too. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you became my daughter-in-law?"

Seeing this, Qiu Ziyue said:

"Madam Cao, it was nothing, please don't mention it."

"Twilight Sparkle, let's go home quickly."

Qi Yuxuan came up and grabbed Qiu Ziyue's hand, wanting to leave.

"Wait! I told you, no one will stop Ziyue from marrying me today. Guards, seize them!"

Li Cunxu ordered the elite troops.

In a moment, Qi Yuxuan, Zhao Wanqing, Qiu Langyu, and Leng Feng each had a knife held to their necks.

"Take them back to the basement. This time, use the deadly lock to secure them. Don't let them escape again."

Li Cunxu gave the order.

"Yes, Prince Jin."

The elite commander accepted the order and waved for his men to take Qi Yuxuan, Qiu Langyu, Leng Feng, and Zhao Wanqing away.

"Wait, Li Cunxu, I saved your mother's life, please let us go, I'm begging you."

Qiu Ziyue pleaded.

"No, you must marry me today. I've tasted the bitterness of losing you, so I will never let you go."

Li Cunxu said firmly.

"Madam Cao, please, let us go. We came here to help Changming, but things turned out this way. It's unreasonable and morally wrong to do this."

Qiu Ziyue said to Madam Cao.

"Twilight Sparkle, I am a reasonable and honest person. This applies to others, but you are really too special, too lovable, and too amazing."

Madam Cao sighed and continued:

“My child has his reasons for liking you, and as his mother, I’m on his side.”

"Madam Cao, you can't do this."

Qiu Ziyue was surprised by this turn of events, and then he looked at Li Maozhen and Yang Xingmi.

“King Qi, King Wu, please speak the truth. You both witnessed my marriage to Yu Xuan. I cannot marry King Jin.”

“Girl, there’s nothing we can say. Since this has happened, there’s nothing I can do. Let’s leave it all to fate,” Li Maozhen said helplessly.

"Yes, girl, you've helped me before, but things are so complicated for young people like you. Don't make things difficult for us, sigh."

Yang Xingmi sighed.

"You guys are so infuriating! If I had known, I wouldn't have come back, and none of this mess would have happened."

Qiu Ziyue said angrily.

"What are you waiting for? Take them away!"

Li Cunxu gave orders to the elite troops, then smiled with satisfaction and said to Qiu Ziyue:

"Ziyue, blame yourself for being too kind-hearted. You just saved me and my mother."

It seems you still have feelings for me. You can't bear to part with your lover, can you?

"Ziyue, you can't marry him!" Qi Yuxuan shouted anxiously as he was being led away.

"Lu Yuanchangming, you filthy scoundrel, don't be so smug. I wish I could slice you to pieces. I truly regret saving you."

Qiu Ziyue said angrily.

"Hahaha, Twilight Sparkle, just listen to me, marry me!"

Otherwise, I'll kill Qi Yuxuan, Qiu Langyu, Leng Feng, and Zhao Wanqing right now."

Li Cunxu smiled.

"Changming, how could you do this? You weren't like this before. You can't stand seeing me unhappy. I'm begging you."

Qiu Ziyue pleaded again.

"Twilight Sparkle, I promise you, if you stay with me for another three years, I will let you go, okay?"

Li Cunxu said.

Qiu Ziyue thought for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Fine, as long as you don't kill Yu Xuan and the others."

"Haha, everyone knows, what are we waiting for? Officiate the wedding!"

Li Cunxu gave the order to the chief administrator.

"Alright, alright, alright, Prince Jin, I'm coming right now."

Everyone knows they were terrified after experiencing wave after wave of danger.

Upon hearing this, he snapped out of his daze.

"But Prince Jin, with so many corpses down there, and so many guests having fled in terror, how can we possibly hold the wedding?"

Du Zhi asked Li Cunxu, his voice trembling.

"Someone, quickly clean this place up!"

Li Cunxu gave orders to his men.

While the guards were cleaning up the area, Li Cunxu found a token on the maid who had assassinated Lady Cao.

The token clearly bears the character "Liang".

"Zhu Wen, you scoundrel! How dare you send someone to plot against me!" Li Cunxu said angrily.

“Young Prince Jin, I never expected that the King of Later Liang would be so shameless. He couldn’t defeat you on the battlefield, so he resorted to such despicable means to assassinate you.”

A king spoke from below the stage.

After an incense stick had burned for a while, the main venue finally returned to calm.

The floor was cleaned, and the remaining guests were seated again.

Du Zhi stood on the high platform and began to officiate the wedding.

"Worship heaven and earth."

Du Zhi's voice was loud and solemn.

Li Cunxu held Qiu Ziyue's hand tightly, and the two slowly knelt down to pay homage to heaven and earth.

Qiu Ziyue was troubled, and she knew all too well the helplessness and pain she felt at that moment.

But for the sake of the greater good, she could only suppress her tears and cooperate in completing the ceremony.

"Two thanks to the high hall."

The governor will continue to announce.

Li Cunxu did not invite the Valley Master of the Valley of Passion and his master from Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter to the wedding.

He was worried that these people would not approve of their marriage.

After all, Li Keyong was Qiu Ziyue's adoptive father in ancient times, so the two of them kowtowed to the memorial tablets of Madam Cao and Li Keyong.

Qiu Ziyue felt a pang of sorrow, but she knew it was an unchangeable fact.

She could only silently pray that her godfather's spirit in heaven would understand her choice.

"Husband and wife bow to each other."

The voice of the chief rang out again.

Qiu Ziyue's heart sank; she really didn't want to take this final step.

Her eyes were filled with struggle and hesitation, as if she wanted to refuse the ceremony.

Li Cunxu noticed her hesitation and threatened in a low voice:

"If you don't pay your respects, you can wait to collect Qi Yuxuan's corpse. You can try!"

Qiu Ziyue was stung by those words, feeling both angry and helpless.

She knew Li Cunxu was forcing her to submit, but she didn't want to see Qi Yuxuan get hurt because of it.

In the end, she gritted her teeth and reluctantly bowed to Li Cunxu.

At this moment, Qiu Ziyue felt utterly helpless.

She secretly vowed that no matter what, she would find a way to escape and prevent anyone else from being hurt.

The chief officiant announced that the ceremony was complete:

"The ceremony is complete, and they are escorted to the bridal chamber."

Li Cunxu was overjoyed; the seasoned general was nowhere to be seen.

Now, the cheerful young Lu Yuanchangming is back, his smile radiant.

He affectionately took Qiu Ziyue's hand, and surrounded by maids, they walked towards the bridal chamber.
