I traveled through time with my best friend.

Chapter 263 Preparing for the wedding.

Pei Zhijin looked at Zeng Qin with deep eyes and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's you or not. Once His Majesty reads this crime book, you will be charged with intentional injury and sent to the Ministry of Justice. No one will think you are innocent then. As for those bandits, I will find them even if you don't tell me."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Zeng Qin's eyes moved quickly. If Pei Zhijin wiped out those bandits, they would be desperate criminals and would definitely sell her out in order to save their lives. By then, she would be committing another crime and the death penalty would not be enough to sentence her.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and anxiously shouted to Pei Zhijin: "Sir, I know where those bandits are?"

"Oh? Are you willing to tell me?"

Zeng Qin nodded slightly and said, "Is it true what you just said about atonement for sins with merits?"

"of course."

"All I want is to stay alive. Master Pei better not lie to me."

"According to the Chili Law, any criminal can be spared the death penalty as long as his merits outweigh his faults."

Zeng Qin knew the Chili Law, but she just wanted to confirm it again. After hearing what Pei Zhijin said, she said, "Those bandits are on a barren mountain on the way to Fahua Temple. I don't know where they are on the mountain."

"Wen Yu, send someone to investigate immediately."

"Yes."

Wen Yu glared at Zeng Qin and left quickly.

Pei Zhijin ordered the person beside him, "Take her away." Then he turned and left.

Since the Jiang and Lin families suddenly decided to arrange their marriages together, Old Man Lin met with Old Man Jiang to discuss how to make the weddings of their two daughters grand.

This made Aunt Zheng very busy. She quickly asked someone to call Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi back, and invited Boss Yue from Yuexianlou, the best clothing maker in the capital, to tailor-make wedding dresses for them.

Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi were pulled back by Zhu Feng. Aunt Zheng was chatting and laughing with Boss Yue in the front hall. When she saw Zhu Feng bringing the two back, she stood up and said to Boss Yue, "These are my two daughters I told you about. You must measure them carefully. Although we are in a hurry, we must ensure the quality."

Boss Yue smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, are you still not confident in my craftsmanship?"

Aunt Zheng said happily: "Oh, of course I trust your craftsmanship."

Jiang Xue was originally seeing patients at Wanhetang, and Lin Yiyi was picking out jewelry on the street when Zhu Feng hurriedly pulled them back.

"Auntie, don't be in a hurry, take your time."

Aunt Zheng said anxiously, "How can we not be anxious? It takes at least three or four months to make a pair of wedding gowns. Now we have to make two pairs at once. We have to rush them out in ten days. The seventh day of next month will be here soon. If we don't hurry up, you won't have any wedding gowns to wear on the wedding day."

Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi looked at each other, then laughed and said, "We still have to hold on tight."

"Yes." Aunt Zheng looked at Boss Yue with a smile and said, "Boss Yue, please measure first. The groom will be here soon. I will have to trouble you then."

“It’s all part of my job.”

Aunt Zheng asked Lin Yiyi, "Are you and the young marquis compatible?"

"Not yet."

"That's perfect. I'll have someone send your birth date and horoscope to the Marquis' Mansion. After the marriage, it's time to pay the betrothal gift. I have to go pick out some gifts for you. Yiyi, your father said that you'll be staying with us when you get married. Your father will be staying here for the next few days, so we'll send you off together when the time comes."

Lin Yiyi smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam."

"It's not hard. I'm so happy to see you all marry the ones you love."

Jiang Xue suddenly looked at Aunt Zheng and asked, "Aunt, there is no need to make this marriage so complicated, right?"

"Oh, that won't do. Since ancient times, three books and six ceremonies are required to be considered a formal marriage. Only then will your husband's family value you. If you rush into the marriage, your husband's family will think that your husband doesn't value you, and you will inevitably suffer when you marry him."

Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi nodded in confusion, and then supported her wholeheartedly: "Aunt, then you should go quickly."

"Okay." Aunt Zheng smiled and nodded slightly to Boss Yue, then left happily.

Aunt Zheng spent the whole day choosing jewelry, fabrics, and return gifts, and she was very busy.

It was not until dusk fell that Aunt Zheng sat down in a chair with a tired look on her face. She then took a sip of tea and closed her eyes for a nap.

Suddenly, she felt a sense of comfort on her shoulder. Aunt Zheng slowly opened her eyes and tilted her head to look over. Jiang Jian was looking at her gently, and then he said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Aunt Zheng raised her lips slightly and said, "What's so hard about this? Isn't it the elders' job to take care of everything for their children? Especially when it comes to marriage, I'm happy to do it."

"Thank you for worrying about Yiyi's affairs."

"That's not true. Yiyi and Xue'er are like sisters, and you and Old Man Lin are brothers who have shared life and death together. We have been like a family for a long time. How can we talk like two families when we are one family?"

Jiang Jian laughed and said, "You must be exhausted after a busy day. Can I give you a foot massage?"

"Okay." Aunt Zheng said happily.

At night, Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi lay on the same bed, chatting with each other.

Jiang Xue suddenly asked, "You and Wang Ziyan are getting married, but there is no news from the princess?"

Lin Yiyi shook her head and said, "No, it's strange. I smashed the Misty Rain Tower and threw the bodies of her men into the Princess's Mansion, but she didn't make any move? You say..."

Lin Yiyi suddenly turned her head towards Jiang Xue, frowned and asked, "Is she planning something?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Xue thought for a moment, then said, "Maybe she is still heartbroken because of the Queen Mother's incident?"

"No, I don't think the princess is the kind of person who would be so sentimental."

"That's hard to say. Have someone keep an eye on the princess these days, just in case."

"Yeah." Lin Yiyi nodded in agreement, and then suddenly thought of something and asked Jiang Xue, "Be careful with Han Qingqing. And King Cheng, there hasn't been any movement recently, so you have to be on guard."

"Well, don't worry, Pei Zhijin asked Ye Tong to protect me secretly."

"it is good."

The two chatted for a few minutes and then fell asleep in a daze.

Princess House.

In the huge bedroom, Jiahe was lying on the ground with a look of pain on his face, his hands tightly grasping the ground, and veins bulging on his forehead.

The man hiding in the dark, wearing a black hat, spoke in a cold voice, low and hollow, "Have you forgotten what the master said?"

"Jiahe...I dare not." Jiahe tried hard to suppress the bone-eating and heart-piercing pain in his body.

"Hmph, I think you have completely forgotten. The master said that he has no objection to your pursuit of so-called love, but if you mess up his important affairs, he will make sure that you die without a complete corpse."
