Chapter 5 How about You Holding Me, Prince Yu
Long Tianhao was watching the farce coldly in front of him.
He didn’t plan to show up at the wedding, but the man he sent out said that Lin Mengya was dead in the sedan chair.
So he appeared in bridegroom’s clothes on purpose, to question the Queen why she sent a dead girl to him.
Unexpectedly, he saw such a scene.
Everyone gasped, and they were much more surprised than the moment when they heard the matchmaker announcing the bride’s death.
The ministers who attended the wedding were all wide-eyed, looking at the man with the bridegroom’s clothes. It seemed that they wanted to find out whether he was their Prince Yu.
Everyone knew that Prince Yu always kept a distance from women, and he was extremely proud. No one thought he would be present at the wedding, but...
Hearing the voice, the matchmaker’s twisted face suddenly turned pale.
Her body was even shivering.
If her hands had not been gripped by Lin Mengya, she would have fallen down on the floor.
She thought, "Lin Mengya was definitely not dead as she acted that way, but what she did just now has put herself to death."
Lin Mengya threw away the woman’s hands disdainfully and peeked at the man who spoke through the sedan chair.
Only seeing a corner of the bright red clothes, she realized that he was Prince Yu, who was going to marry her.
But his voice...sounded really cold.
The matchmaker got rid of the restraint and hastened to fall on her knees before Long Tianhao.
"Please spare my life, Prince Yu. I am old and my eyes are blurred. I got confused. Spare me, please, Prince Yu..."
Her wail of begging for mercy rang in Prince Yu’s Mansion.
Lin Mengya sneered and thought, "The matchmaker was not a fool. She knew she would be dead if she betrayed Lin Mengwu at this moment. So she pretended to be too old and asked for sympathy. What will Prince Yu do?"
"Pull her out, and beat her to death!"
Long Tianhao said in a cold voice, which could drag people to hell.
The matchmaker didn’t want to tell the truth, but he was not interested in being involved in their conflicts, and he mustn’t allow someone to play tricks before him!
Lin Mengya couldn’t help trembling with fear. This Prince Yu... was extremely cruel.
However, didn’t he want to question her so thoroughly? Didn’t he want to ask why the matchmaker had such guts to do everything?
"Please spare my life, Prince Yu! Spare me..."
The matchmaker begged for mercy despairingly, when the voice of bamboos rang out.
"Wait," said Long Tianhao. Then the bamboos were stopped at once.
The matchmaker was happy as she thought she could escape from the punishment. But Long Tianhao’s evil voice rang out again, "Pull her out of the town and beat her to death. Don’t offend my eyes."
The woman was dragged out, and the farce stopped. The beating of gongs and drums resounded in the air, and it was bustling and noisy outside the Prince Yu’s Mansion as if there was nothing happened.
Wasn’t there anything happened?
His wife was bullied like that, and he didn’t help her at all. It appeared that Prince Yu indeed disliked her.
But Lin Mengya didn’t want to be poisoned in vain. How could she swallow it?
Feeling slight angry, Lin Menya said again, "Prince Yu, the matchmaker was gone. According to the etiquette this court, the bride can’t walk on her feet. How about you holding me, Prince Yu?
Long Tianhao gazed at Lin Mengya coldly.
This woman was obviously provoking him.
The crowd gasped and considered the occasion today was quite exciting.
The woman was as silly as rumored. How dare she asked Price Yu to do this? She was asking for death!
Everyone held their breath, waited and saw how Prince Yu would punish this woman.
