Qin Miaomiao followed the bride and the others into the bridal chamber. There was a pair of huge dragon and Phoenix candles burning inside. It had been raining frequently in the past few days, and now there was a strong wind blowing and a rare heavy rain. “The heavens have mercy on us. Fortunately, it only rained like this after the bride passed through the door.” “I don’t know how I got it recently, but it has been raining heavily……” The relatives of the Lin family came into the bridal chamber one after another to look at the bride. There were also juniors who came to pay their respects. Qin miaomiao gave the little silver peanuts that she had prepared earlier to the juniors. “Aunt is so pretty. She’s dressed so beautifully. She’s even prettier than the princess.” In the eyes of the little girl, the princess was naturally the most beautiful. Little did she know that the word ‘princess’was something that everyone avoided talking about today. The madam at the side quickly covered her daughter’s mouth. “Stop talking nonsense. Quickly take the silver peanuts and play.” Qin Miaomiao did not mind. She did not have the right to mind. She was alone now. Although she was already innocent after the new emperor ascended the throne and pardoned the world, her elder brother was still a traitor. When the sky darkened, Qin Miaomiao sat on the wedding bed and listened to the voices calling for the eldest young master outside. She was somewhat uneasy. Lin Mo was dressed in a wedding gown. He was a dragon and a phoenix among men. He was extraordinarily handsome, and the matchmaker was saying auspicious words at the side. He split a bottle of gourd tied with a red rope into two and poured wine into it for the two of them. Lin Mo drank it in one gulp. Qin miaomiao only took a sip. The matchmaker took a pair of scissors and took out a bunch of hair tied in a knot and wrapped it in a red cloth. It implied that they were married. Perhaps it was because she did not look happy even when she saw the bride and groom, but after the matchmaker said some auspicious words, she left in a hurry. In the quiet bridal chamber, only the candlelight was swaying due to the wind and rain outside. After waiting for a long time, Qin Miaomiao stood up and said, “Husband, it’s already late, why don’t you rest……” Lin Mo looked at Qin Miaomiao and said, “You’re a smart person. Zhou Siming asked me to take good care of you when he was alive. I’ll take good care of you. In the future, you just have to take good care of my wife’s position.” Qin Miao bowed and said, “Yes.” Speaking of which, they had known each other since they were young. Qin Miao was not unfamiliar with Lin Mo, but she had never thought that one day they would really become husband and wife. The storm outside was getting heavier and heavier. When Qin Miao saw Lin Mo sitting upright in front of the table, she did not take the initiative to talk about consummating the marriage. She just sat by the side and silently thought about the past…… She thought about the past with Zhou Siming…… If not for Tong Yingying’s misunderstanding, she might have already married Zhou Siming. Perhaps she could have persuaded Zhou Siming not to go down the wrong path, or perhaps she would have been sentenced to death together with him. She could not help but wonder, did she ever have feelings for Zhou Siming in the past? The two of them were in the same room, each with different thoughts. Until Lin Mo’s servant came in and whispered a few words into Lin Mo’s ear, Qin Miaomiao saw Lin Mo leave just like that. For some reason, Qin Miaomiao actually heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lin Mo had left. Otherwise, she thought that she might not be able to face the consummation of the marriage calmly. …… In the Huang family, Jing Hua looked at the dark night and the heavy rain that could not stop. Her heart was aching. At this time, Qin Miaomiao must have already consummated their marriage with Lin Mo, right? Lin Mo finally got a good wife. “Eldest princess, it seems like the rain won’t stop for a while. Why Don’t you stay in our house for a night? You came here because you’re worried about me. I can’t feel at ease letting you go back to the Princess’residence in the rain.” Huang Ci’s arm was tied with a bandage as he bowed to Jing Hua. Jing hua glanced at Huang Ci’s arm and said, “Are you sure you want me to stay? Although I’m a princess, I’m still an unmarried woman. I’ll stay in your residence……” “Yes, Your Royal Highness. I’ve admired your Grace for a long time……” Jing hua laughed and said, “You’re not worthy!” Huang ci frowned and said, “Princess.” “You saved me, so I will naturally reward you. But you abandoned your fiancée, which is why I’m in this trouble. How dare you mention the word ‘admiration’?” Huang Ci had thought that it would be easy for him to become the prince consort when Jing Hua came. He did not expect that she would turn against him. Jing hua glanced at Huang Ci coldly and got into the carriage. He let the coachman drive the carriage back to the eldest princess’mansion. It was late at night and the rain was heavy. It was difficult for the coachman to travel. There was still some distance from the nearest courier station. Jing hua saw a brightly lit hill and said, “The rain is too heavy. Let’s go there for a while.” It was such a heavy rain and the road was muddy. It would not be easy to return to the Princess’residence. When she walked into the brightly lit mountain, she saw a bustle inside. When Jing Hua entered, she saw the four words on the plaque above her head: West Mountain Academy. The women inside were all wearing the same style of clothes, but the colors were different. They walked in twos and threes with umbrellas in hand. Some of them were not old. “When did Chang ‘an have such a place?”Jing Hua looked curiously at the imperial attendant beside him. The imperial attendant replied, “West Mountain Academy has been very famous recently. It is said that the academy’s Mountain Chief is the Empress’stepsister, Qiao Ruoyi, who was once famous in Chang ‘an.” “Ruoyi pays her respects to the eldest princess.” Jing hua smiled and said, “So it really is you. Why are there so many female students here? Do they still need to study at this late hour?” Qiao ruoyi replied, “Don’t they have books from the Xie family recently? The faster they copy, the more books they can have. The weather will get cold soon, and the writing on the mountain will freeze their hands. Why don’t we let them copy a few more books now?” “I see.”Jing Hua ordered her personal attendant to take out a silver note and handed it to Qiao Ruoyi. “I heard that West Mountain Academy doesn’t need silver. This is a token of my appreciation.” Qiao ruoyi thanked her profusely. “Thank you, Princess.” Qiao ruoyi ordered her servants to tidy up her room and let Jing Hua stay there temporarily. Jing Hua was not sleepy at all. She walked to Qiao Ruoyi’s desk and saw a portrait on it. It looked like the portrait of the Jin Niang when she was young. Qiao Ruoyi really liked her sister. She had brought this portrait with her at all times. …… In the eldest princess’residence. Young Master Fu Yue saw Lin Mo and said hurriedly, “Young Master Lin, her Highness went out a long time ago. She said that she was going to the Huang family, but she never came back. It’s already late at night, and it’s raining so heavily……” Lin Mo frowned and said, “Didn’t you guys send someone to look for her?” “We did. It was the Huang family that said that the princess wasn’t there, so we sent someone to pass the news to you.”Fu Yue was also troubled. “It’s hard to find traces of the rain on the road. The princess is so late and there’s no news. Could something have happened? That Huang Ci doesn’t look like a good person. Perhaps he secretly hid the princess!” Lin Mo clenched his hands and said, “I’ll go look for her.” After Lin Mo left, little eighteen asked Fu Yue, “Brother, why did you tell Young Master Lin about this? Aren’t you afraid that His Highness will come back and Punish You?”? “You clearly know that his highness has been going to the Huang residence to take care of Huang Ci every day these few days so that young master Lin can marry Qin Miaomiao without worry. You want to completely cut ties with young master Lin.” Fu Yue opened his fan and said, “We are all indebted to her highness the princess for saving us. Even if we are punished, I still want the princess to be happy.” “But you clearly know that Lin Mo will not marry the princess.” “To Lin Mo, how can the princess be more important than his family and future?”
