C6891 Why Didn't You Marry Him?
"Everyone, you are too polite. This is still because the Young Lord's divine might has been accomplished, and it is simply not my ability."
Li Ming waved his hand, and his voice was extremely humble.
However, his excited and proud expression was already unable to be concealed.
A Li Tang royal family member smiled and said, "When Mengshu and Young Lord Wang are married, then we will be married as well. This relationship will be strengthened by another layer! We will be rich and prosperous forever, and it is only a matter of time."
The others also revealed smiles.
Today's wedding banquet was completely planned by them.
Wang Jiangliu was busy with all sorts of matters, so he naturally wouldn't specially make a trip to marry a concubine.
However, if he didn't come, the puppet court would not be lacking in courtesy. This was respect for Wang Jiangliu, and no one should neglect this.
"Unfortunately, this Young Lord Wang Jiangliu seems to be skilled in the Dao of plucking. He definitely doesn't lack women by his side. I'm afraid that Mengshu won't be able to obtain Young Lord Wang's favor so easily," an elder said worriedly.
Li Ming snorted coldly and said indifferently, "There's no need to be afraid of this. We have already chosen six thousand beautiful and suitable women to marry with Mengshu."
"I don't believe that so many women will be able to please Young Lord. As long as one of them succeeds, our position will be even more stable."
"Six thousand?"
The surrounding people looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.
To select these women, the requirements were extremely harsh. Li Ming had actually selected so many people in such a short period of time. It could be seen that he had definitely used some ruthless methods.
"I wonder if His Majesty has any way to control these women? If they are in Young Master Wang's embrace, they might not listen to us." A minister said worriedly.
"Hmph! Of course I have a way."
Li Ming smiled faintly. "I have asked the Imperial Physician to refine a Soul Control Pill, which is mixed with Beauty Nourishing Powder. Not only can it nourish the skin, it can also allow me to directly control their souls."
"What Young Master Wang cares about is only beauty. He doesn't care about the lives of these women. And I, naturally, don't care."
Everyone present revealed satisfied smiles.
Soul Control Pill could control a person's soul and control a person as a puppet.
However, this method was too sinister and ruthless, and it would often exhaust the longevity and aptitude of the cultivator.
However, Li Ming naturally did not care about the lives of these women.
These people were just tools for him to pave the way for his own position and wealth.
"Let's go and see why Mengshu hasn't come out after so long? The envoys of Penglai will be arriving soon!" Li Ming frowned slightly and scolded in a deep voice.
Suddenly, the door of the side hall was pushed open.
"Squeak!"
The door creaked.
Li Mengshu, who was wearing a red wedding dress, strode in.
Beside her, Lu Yu was walking leisurely, as if he was taking a stroll in a park.
"Mengshu, what are you doing here? Where is your red veil? Hurry up and cover it!"
Seeing Li Mengshu walk in, the royal members frowned and stood up, berating her.
These people were all men and women, old and young. Their bodies were also flowing with the blood of the Li Tang royal family. However, these royal members all had cold expressions on their faces. They pointed at Li Mengshu and scolded her harshly.
"Uncles, aunts, are you just going to watch me fall into hell?"
Li Mengshu shook her head and begged for mercy.
These people were all her relatives.
When Penglai had not been born, there were still visits between families, and it was a harmonious scene.
However, after Penglai had been born, everything had changed. Her relatives had finally revealed their true colors, making her feel extremely unfamiliar.
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and go back and get your makeup done. Look at your current appearance. What are you talking about? If Young Master Wang's emissary sees you, he will blame us for not being polite!" An old man stood up and scolded her harshly.
“That’s right. This isn’t a place for you to come. You’d better leave!”
“If you marry Young Master Wang, you’ll reach the heavens in one step. We’re doing this for your own good. You’ll understand in the future.”
Listening to the Li Clan of the past berating her, Li Mengshu’s heart instantly plummeted to the freezing point.
The last trace of hope vanished without a trace.
“So, you’d rather give up on me and fulfill your own riches?”
A mournful smile appeared on Li Mengshu’s face. “I originally had high hopes for you. I originally thought that you were forced to do this. But now, I’ve misjudged you. You’re completely doing this for your own benefits. You’re a bunch of bastards who can abandon some morals for your own benefits.”
She swept her gaze across the surroundings and took in everyone’s appearance and expression. “I heard what you said from outside the door. You don’t have to lie to me anymore!”
The faces of the people who had been speaking just now instantly turned resentful. It was as if their plans had been suddenly exposed, and they felt angry out of embarrassment.
“Since you know, I’ll say it clearly. That’s right. We’re using you to curry favor with Wang Jiangliu.”
Li Ming, who was sitting on the dragon throne, suddenly spoke.
Li Ming sneered. “Not only that, I want you to use all your abilities. No matter what, you must curry favor with Wang Jiangliu.”
"Only when Wang Jiangliu is happy will your parents be able to live well. Do you understand?"
"Where did you send my parents to?" Li Mengshu shouted.
Li Ming smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, they are in a place where no outsiders know. They are being watched very well."
"However, they have to work hard every day. Your father is also a strong man. It's a pity that his cultivation level has been sealed. He is no different from a mortal. The high intensity of labor every day is already about to tire him to death."
"You bastard!" Li Mengshu was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Her eyes were red as she stared at Li Ming.
Li Ming's expression did not change as he smiled faintly and said, "Whatever you say, but I have to remind you that you have to try your best to please Young Master Wang. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for me to guarantee that your parents will be able to live."
After saying that, Li Ming waved his hand impatiently and said, "The guards at the back will send the princess away. Ask the people below to dress the princess up. She has to come to greet the Young Master's emissary in a beautiful manner!"
He clearly treated Lu Yu as Li Mengshu's guard.
Li Mengshu's entire body was trembling. She was angry, afraid, and helpless. She was enveloped in despair and helplessness.
However, at this moment, a cold voice came from behind Li Mengshu.
"Li Ming, why don't you dress up and get married?"
“I think there is no man in Wang Jiangliu’s harem. If you marry him, you might give him a surprise.”2
