Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 445 Trouble

The wedding procession was grand, with drums and music playing as they passed through the streets.

On the long street, pedestrians retreated to both sides of the street, talking about the matter. Many people were envious. After all, this was a wealthy family marrying off their daughter, and the girl was from a high-ranking family. It was a powerful combination.

Especially such a grand ceremony is very eye-catching, with a long wedding procession that stretches as far as the eye can see.

The guards of the Yue family rode on fine horses, guarding both sides of the team. They were majestic and awe-inspiring. Each of them was tall and strong, with a hint of murderous aura. One could tell at a glance that they were not simple and did not dare to approach them.

Today is a good day, but unfortunately, the weather is not very good. It is a cloudy day and the sky is a bit gloomy, which is not satisfactory.

However, without the scorching sun, the breeze was gentle and quite comfortable.

After the wedding procession left the city, they sped up and headed along the official road towards Jizhou.

Because Guang'an City in Zhongzhou is far away from Changping City in Jizhou, it will take four days to get there at the current travel speed.

Fortunately, the official road to Jizhou is wide and flat, and relatively easy to travel. Although there are many bandits along the way, the wedding procession is headed by the title of King of Eastern Han of Jizhou, and no reckless bandit dares to rob the Yue family's team.

After all, the King of the Eastern Han Dynasty dominated Jizhou, had an army and was extremely powerful. No one would dare to provoke him unless there was a mortal enemy.

The journey was smooth and we didn't encounter any trouble on the way.

The wedding procession traveled during the day and stayed at night, and finally settled at the originally scheduled post station at night.

When they arrived at the post station, Si He was arranged to stay in the best room on the upper floor, while the several girls from the Guo family who came with her to marry lived in ordinary houses, with four girls squeezed into one room. They were treated like maids. After all, there were too many people in the wedding party, and the post station simply did not have enough rooms to accommodate them. Moreover, they were just concubines and had low status.

In addition, their meals were also very simple, far from what they had when they were in the Guo family. Even the meals of the maids who were valued in the Guo family were much better than what they had now.

The meals at this post station consisted of vegetables, tofu, and greasy meat. The dishes did not look very good and were not delicate at all. The rice was not the soft and glutinous rice that we usually eat, but the coarse rice that servants eat.

Seeing such a gap, even the three illegitimate daughters felt a little uncomfortable, let alone Guo Jiamei, the legitimate daughter who had always lived a pampered life.

"Replace a good meal for me! Also, make me another bowl of lotus and shredded chicken congee!"

Guo Jiamei looked very unhappy and didn't even pick up her chopsticks. She immediately ordered the maids to take the food away and replace it with a better one.

Seeing this, the other three concubines' daughters who married with the wife stopped eating. Since someone was taking the lead, they just followed suit.

The maidservant had no choice but to take away all the food.

This is an inn, under the control of the Yue family, and the meals are naturally prepared according to their rules. Now that they suddenly want to change the meals, the person in charge of the Yue family handed the matter over to Si He to handle. After all, these concubines are hers.

Si He, who was having dinner, heard the maid's report. Her expression remained unchanged as she said calmly, "Since they don't want to eat, then they don't have to."

When the maid heard this, her expression changed slightly, but she could only nod in agreement and quietly retreat.

When Guo Jiamei and others heard the maid's reply, their faces turned ashen with anger. Guo Jiamei even overturned the table and got angry.

After a while, she walked out angrily and went to the room where Si He was.

Seeing this, the other three concubines' daughters who married with the bride thought for a moment and then followed over to see what was going on.

"Guo Jiaqu! What do you mean?!"

When Guo Jiamei arrived in front of Si He's house, she began to question loudly. She wanted to break into the house, but was stopped by the maid at the door.

There was quite a commotion here, and the people guarding nearby immediately looked over.

Si He raised her eyes and looked at Guo Jiamei outside the door and the three concubines behind her who had come to attack her. She said, "It means literally, if you don't want to stay here, then go back to the Guo family."

Hearing this, the expressions of several people changed. Guo Jiamei even laughed in anger, "Guo Jiaqu, why are you sending us back..."

But before she could finish her words, Si He interrupted, "You are just part of the dowry! Once you leave the Guo family, I have the right to deal with you."

To put it bluntly, a concubine is just a living dowry.

When she was in the Guo family, she still had some concerns, but now that she was out, she was no longer under the control of the Guo family, and these people were also under her charge. If she hadn't been concerned that they were on the way to the wedding, and it was not appropriate to see blood or have unlucky things happen, she would never show mercy.

When Shu Jiamei heard this, her eyes turned sinister. "I'm the proposed concubine, a legitimate daughter. According to the rules, you have no right to dispose of me!"

She had witnessed the arrogance of this concubine's daughter before, but when she was facing her in person, she felt firsthand the anger of being despised and provoked. A concubine's daughter who did not respect the legitimate daughter was so arrogant!

She was a little confused. How could the eldest son's family raise such an unruly and reckless person?!

"Equal wife?" Si He sneered, "That depends on whether you have the ability to sit in this position, but before that, you are just a concubine!"

"You want to talk to me about the rules? According to the rules, I am the legal wife of the Yue family. How should you punish me for committing an insubordination?"

Before they could say anything, Gao You, who was standing by, replied, "According to the Guo family's rules, it would be ten slaps on the face, or ten lashes with a cane."

Hearing Gao You's words, Si He smiled with satisfaction.

The expressions of Guo Jiamei and others were particularly ugly.

"you dare!"

Guo Jiamei stiffened her neck and glared at Si He angrily. She was so angry that she showed no intention of giving in.

The few illegitimate girls behind were a little timid, and even regretted coming along. No matter who had the upper hand, nothing would change for them. Now that they followed Guo Jiamei, they had tacitly assigned themselves to Guo Jiamei's side.

It would be fine if Guo Jiamei was strong enough and could protect them, otherwise, they would be implicated.

"Someone, slap her in the face!"

Si He ordered him to be beaten.

But after the words fell, the maids waiting on the side looked at each other, a little confused, but no one was willing to take action.

Seeing this, Guo Jiamei immediately raised a smug smile. The indentures of these maids were basically in the hands of the third and eldest houses, and none of them would really obey her orders and punish her.

Moreover, before her marriage, the eldest and third houses had reached a temporary agreement that Guo Jiaqu would not be allowed to become powerful alone, because she was too out of the Guo family's control.

Although the Guo family needs this marriage, they need a girl from the Guo family who is obedient and considerate of the Guo family more, so they need to work together to suppress her.
