Chapter 147: Chapter 140 Meng Xiao9, the Governor is Here to Marry You_3

The wedding concierge sang with a laugh, "The bride is getting on the sedan chair—"

Under the bridal veil, Meng Qianqian whispered, "Grand Commander."

Lu Yuan replied coldly, "What is it?"

Meng Qianqian said, "I am going to get on the sedan chair now."

Lu Yuan snorted, "I know."

Meng Qianqian looked at her hand clasped firmly in his palm. "You have to let go of my hand, so I can get on the sedan chair."

Lu Yuan: "..."

With an aloof expression, Lu Yuan released his grip, and Meng Qianqian got onto the grand eight-person sedan chair.

With the bridal veil covering her, she could see nothing except the ground beneath her feet; even the bearers carrying the sedan chair were unknown to her.

Yet, at the very moment the sedan chair was lifted, she distinctly felt something unusual.

She drew the curtain of the bridal sedan chair aside.

The wedding concierge walking alongside asked, "Bride, is something the matter?"

Meng Qianqian hesitated, as if about to say something but then stopped.

Zhang Feihu said sternly, "Sit back down!"

Meng Qianqian’s heart trembled. "General Zhang..."

Zhang Feihu’s expression had never been this solemn before. "Remember, you, Meng Xiaojiu, are being carried into the Governor Mansion as a hero from the border. In the future, anyone in the Capital City who dares to bully you will be making enemies of all the soldiers at the border!"

Eight soldiers, with shoulders that bore countless military honors, steadily carried the sedan chair as they walked down Vermilion Sparrow Avenue.

The crowd instinctively made way for them.

Zhang Feihu proclaimed loudly, "Zhang Feihu of Hu Ben Camp is here to send Meng Xiaojiu off in marriage!"

Nie Hanshan shouted, "Nie Hanshan of Brave Cavalry Camp is here to send Meng Xiaojiu off in marriage!"

"Zhao Qingyun of Reconnaissance Camp is here to send Meng Xiaojiu off in marriage!"

"Han Ci of Imperial Guard is here to send Meng Xiaojiu off in marriage!"

...

Their route took them halfway around the city, out of respect for Lu Yuan’s status. And on the way back, they deliberately made another circuit around the other half of the city—an unspoken agreement to ensure everyone in the Capital saw their Meng Xiaojiu being married off in resplendent glory.

Treasure Piggy, having gotten up too early, fell asleep shortly after boarding the carriage and remained asleep even upon reaching the Governor Mansion—thus missing what was the most spectacular wedding procession in history.

By the afternoon, guests had arrived one after another. After all, this was the Grand Commander’s wedding; no one dared be late.

The Lu Family was all present: the matriarch, the two senior ladies, Lu Xingzhou, Lu’s mother and his second uncle’s family, as well as Lu Linglong. Lu Lingxiao and Lin Wan’er also showed up.

Originally, Lu Lingxiao had planned not to attend, but Lin Wan’er insisted he go.

Last time at the Governor Mansion’s first anniversary banquet, Lin Wan’er was ridiculed for being without title or status when attending with him, the gossip afterward cutting deeply.

This time, she was determined to appear openly at his side and flaunt their love, seeking to reclaim the honor she had lost.

More importantly, now that she was his legitimate wife, the once-proud Meng Qianqian—who had oppressed her under the guise of being the first wife—had now fallen to the status of a secret mistress. Lin Wan’er wanted Lu Lingxiao to witness Meng Qianqian’s pitiful state, ostracized by all.

She couldn’t stop glancing outside.

Would the bride not arrive soon even though the auspicious hour was near?

The mysterious Miaojiang heiress had been so tightly guarded by Lu Yuan that people in the Capital couldn’t even uncover her name. Yet, someone had spotted the Grand Commander spending lavishly to buy a mansion in the capital, furnishing it with the bride-price gifts for her.

Such treatment truly incited envy in everyone.

Lin Wan’er comforted herself, telling herself Lu Lingxiao loved her too. He wasn’t as wealthy as the Grand Commander, but if he had that kind of money, he’d surely spend it on her as well.

Meanwhile, the people from Marquis Mansion had arrived, including Marquis An Yuan, Yu Family matriarch, and siblings Xie Yan.

When Marquis An Yuan first received the Grand Commander’s wedding invitation, he was thrilled. He had heard of this illustrious commander back when he was in West City—the man credited for elevating the Emperor to power, now controlling the court. Receiving such an invitation was truly an honor.

But as soon as Marquis An Yuan arrived at the Governor Mansion, he realized it might not be an attempt by the Grand Commander to forge connections with him, but rather that the Governor Mansion had simply extended invitations to everyone.

Their seating arrangement was far from prominent, ranked towards the end of the primary hall.

Marquis An Yuan gazed at the vacant seats at the head table, muttering to himself about who could possibly have the privilege to sit there.

Then, as if suddenly recalling something, he asked Yu Family matriarch, "By the way, Li’er didn’t come?"

Lady Yu smiled awkwardly, "He... The Imperial College doesn’t have the day off today. He wanted to request a leave of absence, but I told him to focus on his studies—to make a good impression on the Sacrificial Officer."

In truth, the reality was far from this. Marquis An Yuan had hoped to bring Yu Li along to seize the rare opportunity for social networking. Lady Yu even personally visited Imperial College to fetch Yu Li, but he had refused her unequivocally.

This was an event hosted by the Governor Mansion! Did that child even comprehend the honor and fortune he was throwing away by refusing?

Thinking of Yu Li brought Lady Yu’s mind back to Meng Qianqian.

Had it not been for that ungrateful girl, she would have invited her here today too, letting her and her husband see the sights and broaden their horizons.

At that moment, someone hollered loudly, "The bride has arrived!"

The gathering collectively turned their gazes toward the hall entrance.
