C2 Marriage

The woman didn't know what she meant, but when she heard that her wedding dress had been torn apart, the woman's expression changed.

Today was the day of Shi Xiaorui's wedding. Who would have known that her family would suddenly break into the enemy lines? Before she could get on the bridal sedan, she was kidnapped by the thieves. They panicked and tried to find it, but it took them a long time to find it. But according to Xiaorui, wouldn't her innocence be …

Thinking up to here, she hurriedly took a few steps back, her expression not as loving as before. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the masked man, and her tone immediately carried anger. "Rui Er, were you …"

"No!" Afraid that they would misunderstand, Shi Xiaorui quickly clarified, "He's a good person. He's the one who saved me."

The lady did not seem relieved by these words. Instead, she grabbed Shi Xiaorui's arm and led her away. "We'll talk about this when we get home!"

Shi Xiaorui didn't know where this woman had gotten so much strength, but it was impossible for her to break free.

On the way back, he made an excuse saying that he had been knocked unconscious. His memory was a little blurry, so he asked about the original owner's background.

The original owner was also called Shi Xiaorui. She was born in the village of Lu Lin. Her birth mother died when she was three years old. The woman in front of her was her stepmother. According to her stepmother, she treated her as if she was her own daughter after entering the house. She even brought a daughter two years older than her when they first visited and changed her name to Shi Qian.

Her stepmother had a son with her father, named Shi Qing.

And when the original owner was still in Mother's stomach, she had already married personally. So, today, which was supposed to be a joyous day for her and Liu Wenchang, something like this happened.

After Shi Xiaorui heard this, she started to ponder.

This stepmother avoided the crucial point, obviously hiding something from her.

"Oh yeah, don't interact with Lu Shao too much in the future, lest people gossip about you." the woman asked.

"Why? Although he is not good with words, but he saved me, so you can't be ungrateful, right? " Shi Xiaorui retorted, secretly remembering the man's name, Lu Shao.

"What do you know?" She looked around again, then lowered her voice and said, "Have you forgotten why he always wears a mask?"

Shi Xiaorui shook her head honestly.

"Tsk, that half of his face that's covered is extremely ugly. It's so scary that anyone in the village would run away if they saw him."

"Is there a mistake? Just because someone's parents are ugly, they will be isolated?" Shi Xiaorui disagreed.

From the bottom of her heart, she felt that Lu Shao was a good person. She could imagine what that half covered face looked like. If it didn't have the scar they mentioned, then he would definitely be a handsome person.

The village had never lacked long-tongued women, and they were even proud of all kinds of gossip. Shi Xiaorui was too lazy to argue with these people, so she automatically blocked the women's instructions to her.

Just like drinking water, cold and warm.

"Rui Er." After returning home, the woman quickly pulled Shi Xiaorui to her room. With a frown, she whispered, "Tell mother the truth, have you been hurt by anything?"

Shi Xiaorui looked strangely at the woman. Why did she feel that her seemingly concerned tone was one that she could only nod to admit to? Is there anyone who would want to be a mother like this!?

Feeling displeased, Shi Xiaorui's tone turned serious. "How is that possible?!"

"I told you, Lu Shao saved me in time. Mother, you don't believe me, but it can't be that you want someone to do something to me, right? " Shi Xiaorui pursed her lips and looked at the woman with a smile that was not a smile.

"Silly girl, what are you thinking about? Of course Mother wished you well. "But …" The woman acted as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

However, the current Shi Xiaorui was no longer the same Shi Xiaorui who had listened to everything she said. He ignored her question and just rummaged through the box to find some clothes to change into.

The woman was embarrassed and could only continue, "You are just too naive and do not know how dangerous the human heart is. "I think, Lu Shao did it on purpose to save you. Otherwise, how did he coincidentally appear near you?"

He just happened to be there for hunting, what's so strange about that?

Moreover, when he thought back to that scene, when his shirt slipped, Lu Shao's first reaction was to turn his head away. Even when Lu Shao took off his shirt for him to change into, he still stayed far away.

It was said that details determined one's character.

Shi Xiaorui didn't believe Lu Shao was someone like that.

"Using a favor to save your life in exchange for you marrying him, your calculations are truly wise." That's right, he was already in his twenties, or was he just a bachelor? Even this village knew that he was frighteningly ugly, so why would any family want to marry their daughter to him? If he had not used this method, he might not have been able to get a wife in this lifetime. "

"Ya, tell me, was the person who kidnapped you also found by him?" The stepmother was suddenly shocked

Shi Xiaorui was speechless. "I have an engagement with me, so even if he had some ideas, he shouldn't have tried it on me?"

"Why can't I! With your face and body, which man in the village doesn't want to marry you? " As she spoke, she pinched Shi Xiaorui's face and patted her chest.

Shi Xiaorui couldn't avoid it in time and didn't even want to say anything.

The woman, however, didn't notice Shi Xiaorui's displeasure at all. She took out a needle and thread from the grid and handed it to Shi Xiaorui, telling her to sew up the torn part of her wedding dress.

"Hurry up and sew up the wedding dress." As she spoke, she walked to the window and looked outside. "Hopefully, I won't miss the timing …"

Although her stepmother said this, her eyes revealed a trace of ruthlessness, which was coincidentally caught by Shi Xiaorui.

It seemed that this stepmother was not a good person.

Ever since she teleported here, she almost lost her virginity. Now that she finally got rid of the Demon Claw, she's going to marry a man she doesn't even know?

She couldn't remember what unforgivable sin she committed in her previous life!

Shi Xiaorui looked at the needle and thread in her hand and said bitterly, "Maybe the heavens purposely arranged for something like this to happen today. Maybe Liu Wenchang and I are not fated to be husband and wife at all."

"Nonsense!" The woman scolded her, "This marriage of yours was already set. How can there be no fate for husband and wife? Moreover, what kind of family background was the Liu Family? Liu Wenchang is the only Elementary Scholar in our village. Perhaps in the future, he will become a High Scholar and become a government official. At that time, you will be the young mistress of a rich family. Others might not even be able to ask for good things, but since it has fallen to you, why aren't you willing anymore? "

As she said this, the woman's expression became somewhat strange. "You better not be unaware of your fortune."

"I'd rather not have this fortune."

"Forget about these darn words, the auspicious hour has already been decided. The marriage has to be done!"

Shi Xiaorui glanced outside, "It's cold outside, forget about the guests, even the bridal sedan chair hasn't come. You... Are you sure today is the wedding day? "

Speaking of this, the woman's expression became a little ugly. Ever since Shi Xiaorui had been kidnapped by thieves, the people from Liu Family had brought the bridal sedan chair over to hear about this and lost a lot of temper. Without saying anything, they brought the people back.

Hearing this, Shi Xiaorui found it extremely funny. According to common sense, when his fiancee was kidnapped by the scoundrel, shouldn't Liu Family bring people to find her as soon as possible? How could it be none of his business? It seems that Liu Family does not hold this marriage in high regard either! Even Liu Wenchang himself probably didn't have much feelings for the original owner, right?

Since that was the case, why would her stepmother force the marriage to end?

Was she up to something else?

Shi Xiaorui had just started feeling suspicious when she heard the door open with a bang.

"Mother, since she doesn't want to marry, why don't you just send me over?"
