In the afternoon, after accompanying Lie Rou for lunch, Yue Jing Hua took Yue Chen to the market, accompanied by Sha Man as well as Hong Ling, who had to go there anyway.

This time, the changes in Hong Ling weren't small, her deeds and words were more calm, and she rarely came into conflict with the other servants of the Lie Family. Such a temperament made Yue Jing Hua very satisfied. And from the way she walked and the more focused gaze of her eyes, she was already on the verge of breaking through the Profound Jade Realm.

The Lie Estate was still some distance away from the downtown area of Po Lou City, and the four of them directly went through the gate to the street without a carriage.

Not long after leaving the Lie Estate, they could hear the sound of music playing and singing, dozens of people were moving past, blocking the entire street.

They were still far from the market area, and near the Lie Estate, there were only either rich or noble families living there, but it was unknown which family celebrated a wedding right now.

The four of them wanted to circle around the wedding, when they saw two identical sedan chairs approaching.

Who would marry two brides in one wedding?

Yue Jing Hua had never seen an ancient wedding reception, but marrying two brides simultaneously was even uncommon on the Azure Dragon Continent.

"It's Luo Guo's House, I don't know which poor family's daughter is going to suffer." Sha Man knew more about the city's gossip than this group of "house girls" and "house boys" of the Ming Xiang Courtyard. In addition, she was from the Sha Family, and knew a lot about the Royal Family.

Luo Guo was the eldest brother of the current empress, and a well-known merchant in Po Lou City. Relying on the power of his sister, he did a lot of bad deeds.

The biggest problem with him was that he was not just wicked, but also lustful. And he didn't discriminate between men and women.

Two palanquins, which meant two people marrying at the same time, only an immoral person would do something like this.

Sha Man sighed, grabbed Yun Sheng and pulled her into a side-alley. For unmarried women like them, it was better to avoid such a brutal wedding ceremony.

When the two sedan chairs lifted past, a red pomegranate rolled out from one of them, until it reached the feet of Yue Chen.

It was tradition in Shang Kingdom for the brides to hold a pomegranate, its meaning, "many children and grandchildren". It would bring misfortune if the bride lost the fruit.

Yue Chen was still a child, when he saw such a scene, he curiously wanted to pick it up.

"Let me," Yue Jing Hua leaned over to take the pomegranate first, when she touched the fruit, the underneath was sticky, sticky and warm, it was human blood.

"Miss," Hong Ling motioned at Yue Jing Hua, she shook her head, she also knew that Luo Guo who was very influential couldn't be provoked by the current her.

"Pomegranate, send back, go," Chen Yue beggingly looked Yue Jing Hua, wanting to bring the good luck charm back.

After wiping the blood off, Yue Jing Hua smiled, "If you just rush up like that, you will frighten them." She wrapped the pomegranate with her power of good fortune, and with a little additional Profound Qi, it flew back.

The pomegranate was thrown in through the window of one of the sedan chairs, the curtain covering the window was struck and flew up.

The face of the bride who was sitting inside was revealed.
