Chapter 354: Born as a Su Family Member, Died as a Su Family Ghost
Li Shang watched the sharp blade across Li Yue's neck, still unwilling in his heart, and asked with all his might: "Zhi Yuan...are you willing to come with me?"
At this moment, Meng Zhiyuan was already in tears. She wanted to follow Li Shang and fly away, but she knew that she was responsible for the honor and disgrace of the Meng family, and she could not abandon the family's righteousness for her own selfishness.
"Today is a great day for this young general, so it is not appropriate to see bloodshed. I will spare you this time. Come on, take this man away!" With an order, many guards emerged from all directions. Li Shang knew that these people were well-trained secret guards. At this time, Li Yue was still in a hostage state, and Li Shang did not dare to act rashly.
Just like that, Li Shang was forcibly taken away. Before he left, he kept calling out Zhi Yuan's name, his sorrowful voice was like weeping and complaining, and it was heartbreaking to hear. Everyone present was moved, and Meng Zhi Yuan was even more heartbroken, but he could only grit his teeth and suppress his grief.
They arrived at the gate of the general's mansion with music and drums, firecrackers blasting and gongs and drums roaring. It was so lively! Meng Zhiyuan, however, was like a puppet, expressionless, letting the bridesmaid hold her hand and mechanically complete various tedious rituals. Her heart had long gone with Li Shang, as if her soul had left her body, and she had lost interest in everything around her.
After entering the new house, Meng Zhiyuan sat quietly on the bed, her eyes empty, without a trace of joy. She slowly stretched out her hand and lifted the red veil herself, then slowly stood up and walked towards the window with light steps. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on her beautiful but haggard face, reflecting the endless sorrow deep in her heart.
She stared at the bright moon in the sky quietly, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind. She knew that she would probably never see Li Shang again in this life, and that unforgettable feeling could only be buried deep in her heart, becoming her eternal secret.
The matchmaker and the maids walked into the room carrying things. They were startled to see Meng Zhiyuan standing in front of the window. They hurried over to hold her back and said, "Oh, Fifth Madam, how could you take off your veil by yourself? This is unlucky! Put it back on quickly!"
Meng Zhiyuan smiled slightly but did not answer. She gently closed her eyes and felt the night wind blowing, as if only this could make her temporarily forget the pain in her heart.
Seeing this, the matchmaker and the maids didn't dare to say anything more. They silently put the things on the table and left the room.
The room was quiet again, with Meng Zhiyuan alone, speaking to the bright moon about her thoughts and sorrow...
Su Jinqi saw off the last guest and returned to the bridal chamber.
The matchmaker quickly brought the jade ruyi and the wedding wine. Su Jinqi lifted her veil, handed the jade ruyi to the matchmaker, then picked up the two glasses of wine and sat next to Meng Zhiyuan.
"Madam, it's time to drink the wedding wine." Su Jinqi stared at Meng Zhiyuan closely, wishing he could swallow her into his stomach at this moment.
Meng Zhiyuan didn't need to pretend anymore. She didn't take the wine glass. She was relieved. The guests had all left. There was no need for her to sit upright. She stood up and walked to the dressing table. Looking at her makeup and bright red clothes, she felt uneasy.
Su Jinqi was not angry. She just gave the matchmaker a look and signaled her to go down.
After the matchmaker and the maid left, Su Jinqi took off his outer robe, put it away, and walked towards Meng Zhiyuan.
Meng Zhiyuan was still removing the decorations on her head. There were so many of them that her hands were sore.
Su Jinqi reached out and took off the hairpins and rings on Meng Zhiyuan's head one by one.
"Don't touch me, I can take it off myself." Meng Zhiyuan pushed Su Jinqi's hand away, but was grabbed by Su Jinqi.
"Madam, please don't waste too much time on this wedding night."
"You should take a rest first. I'm not sleepy yet. Let me go quickly."
Su Jinqi did not listen to Meng Zhiyuan and let her go. Instead, he held both of her hands with one hand and continued to help him take off the hairpins with the other hand.
"Madam, please be obedient. Your husband will finish it soon." Su Jinqi said softly, with a hint of tenderness and pampering in her tone.
Meng Zhiyuan tried to break free, but the difference in strength was too great and she couldn't escape at all. She thought, since she couldn't break free, she might as well obey him, after all, her hands were already sore. So, she decided to treat Su Jinqi as her maid, and it didn't matter who served her.
Not long after, Meng Zhiyuan felt the weight on her head gradually lighten. However, at this moment, she suddenly found that Su Jinqi's hand began to move slowly from her head down. This move scared Meng Zhiyuan. She immediately sat up, looked at Su Jinqi warily, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Su Jinqi raised his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, and replied: "Madam, have you forgotten that we are getting married today?" As he spoke, he took a step forward, and Meng Zhiyuan involuntarily took a step back. As Su Jinqi continued to approach, Meng Zhiyuan was gradually forced into a corner, with no way to retreat.
Meng Zhiyuan's heartbeat accelerated rapidly. She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm. Then, she whispered to Su Jinqi, "I'm having my menstrual period. I'm not feeling well. You...you should go to bed first!"
Hearing this, Su Jinqi's eyes flashed with doubt, but soon he regained his composure. He took a step forward, approached Meng Zhiyuan, and said softly: "Really? Then let me see. If it is really as Madam said, I will naturally not force it." After that, he stretched out his hand to check Meng Zhiyuan's physical condition.
"Don't!" Meng Zhiyuan quickly stretched out her hand to block it, her face flushed, "You can't look at such filthy things." Her voice was full of shyness and embarrassment, but also revealed a firm refusal. "You are my wife now, is there anything I can't look at?"
Su Jinqi had a wicked smile on his face, and his eyes were sparkling with desire. He stretched out his hand without hesitation and pulled hard, and Meng Zhiyuan's clothes were torn apart in an instant, revealing her fair skin and looming curves.
"Ah!" Meng Zhiyuan screamed in horror. She had never thought that Su Jinqi would treat her so roughly. She tried to protect her body with her hands, but Su Jinqi easily grabbed her wrists and pressed them above her head.
"Shh... Madam, don't shout so loudly, be careful not to damage your throat." Su Jinqi said softly, with a hint of teasing in his tone. He knew that no one would come to interfere with their affairs tonight, which made him even more unscrupulous.
Meng Zhiyuan's eyes were filled with fear and despair, and tears rolled down her cheeks. She struggled desperately to break free from Su Jinqi's restraints, but her strength was far inferior to his.
"Don't be afraid, Madam, I will make you feel unprecedented happiness." Su Jinqi said as he moved closer to Meng Zhiyuan's body, feeling her body temperature and fragrance. His breathing became rapid, and an uncontrollable heat surged in his stomach.
He hugged Meng Zhiyuan tightly, lifted her up and walked to the bed. Meng Zhiyuan kept kicking her legs, trying to escape Su Jinqi's control, but it was all in vain.
"Let me go! Let me go! I don't want to be with you, I don't want it!" Meng Zhiyuan's voice was filled with tears, and her heart was filled with pain and helplessness.
However, Su Jinqi ignored her resistance. He had only one thought in mind, which was to possess this beautiful woman. Su Jinqi threw Meng Zhiyuan onto the bed, and Meng Zhiyuan felt pain in her back. She frowned in pain. But Su Jinqi didn't care about Meng Zhiyuan's pain and went forward.
"Go down, go down quickly."
"Why? Do you hate your husband so much?"
"Yes, I just hate you and don't want to see you for a moment."
Su Jinqi pressed her down again and said, "Hate me? Don't want to see me?"
"Yes, I would rather die than be with you." Meng Zhiyuan said this and wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide.
Su Jinqi immediately grabbed her chin upon seeing this. "Meng Zhiyuan, you are a member of the Su family in life and a ghost of the Su family in death. If you are testing my patience, he will be the next to die." Su Jinqi said as she kissed Meng Zhiyuan's cheek, her mouth gradually moving downward.
