Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 326: Who are you?
When they saw Family Head Shan come over, there was a trace of displeasure that appeared on the faces of these guests before it disappeared completely.
The three that Family Head Shan approached were the heads of the Yue, Ouyang, and Tang Families respectively. These three were the other three members of the Four Great Families.
Since this was a wedding that was between the Shan Family and Duke Yu, they had no choice but to come and see what this wedding was about.
That was how much of an influence it had on the political sphere of the Roaring Tiger Empire.
But they wouldn’t just let the Shan Family have the last laugh that easily. They would make sure to embarrass the Shan Family as much as they could.
If they could even convince Duke Yu to change his mind, then it would be the cherry on top.
After the Shan Family Head came over, he said with a smile that had a bit of a sting to it, "So, you came to enjoy our Shan Family’s wedding wine, huh?"
The three family heads slightly knitted their brows, but they quickly regained their composure.
Family Head Yue took the lead as he said, "It doesn’t seem like it’s any good wine. Are you sure that this is supposed to be a wedding?"
The other two family heads just chuckled without saying anything.
Family Head Shan slightly gritted his teeth, but then he said, "If you disdain drinking it, then you’re free to leave. It’s too bad that you don’t have any juniors that can catch the duke’s eyes."
There was a tense atmosphere that filled the air between them.
In the end, it was broken by Family Head Ouyang as he said in a soft voice with a soft snort, "Selling off your own family members, it really is admirable."
Family Head Shan had been in charge of the Shan Family for a long time and it would be impossible for him to hold this position if his face was thin. He didn’t feel any shame even though Family Head Ouyang said this.
Rather, he just said with a smile, "That is the blessing of our Shan Family."
Old ginger really was the most spicy.
That was what everyone thought as they watched the four of them swinging at each other like this.
No one else really came forward to talk to the four of them since they didn’t have the status to do so. The Four Great Families had a high status in this capital after all.
But that did raise an issue.
Even though this was a wedding between the Shan Family and Duke Yu, there weren’t any important ministers that were here. There were some minor ministers that were close to Duke Yu that were here, but the heads of the departments were missing.
At the same time, the emperor was missing.
Even if this was a wedding with his fifth concubine, it wasn’t as if it was small enough for the emperor to miss.
Was this a sign or...?
Family Head Shan and the other three family heads naturally didn’t miss this, but none of them said a thing about it since it wasn’t their place to say anything.
There was a reason why all of them wanted the backing of the royal family, so they wouldn’t have loose tongues when it came to any matters related to the royal family.
After a while, it seemed like all of the guests had arrived. The head servant of the duke’s manor seemed like he was about to step forward to usher everyone in, but then there was a loud roar that suddenly rang out.
When everyone turned in the direction of that roar, they found that there was a tiger drawn carriage that was approaching.
All of them were surprised to see this because they recognized this.
The Roaring Tiger Empire was named as such because of the royal family’s special connection with a powerful tiger spirit beast that protected them.
That meant that they were able to tame other tiger spirit beasts, such as the ones that were used to pull this carriage.
But these carriages were only supposed to be used by important guests of the Roaring Tiger Empire.
What was it doing here?
No one had heard anything about this.
Once the tiger carriage stopped, Family Head Shan along with the head servant came forward to greet whoever was inside.
Only the moment that the door opened and the people inside were revealed...
"Who are you?" Family Head Shan said in a stunned voice.
The head servant also had a confused look on his face as he looked at them.
It was a group of young people that suddenly came out of the carriage.
Seeing the way that they all looked at me, I said with a faint smile, "I’m here to attend the wedding."
Family Head Shan and the head servant both knitted their brows. It seemed like Family Head Shan had some choice words for us, but he swallowed those words when I pulled out a scroll and opened it in front of him.
Holding this scroll up in front of him, I said, "We were invited by the emperor to attend this wedding."
Both Family Head Shan and the head servant looked carefully at the scroll being held in front of them.
When Family Head Shan knitted his brows as if he was going to say something, the head servant grabbed him by the shoulder. Looking back, Family Head Shan saw him shaking his head.
"The seal is real." The head servant leaned forward to say.
Family Head Shan raised a brow as if he was questioning this, but the head servant had a serious look on his face.
He had followed Duke Yu for many years, so he was able to recognize the royal seal with a single glance. He could tell that the seal that was on this scroll was the real deal.
So while he didn’t know who this person was, he didn’t dare offend them...
Family Head Shan eventually said, "Then please enjoy yourself."
He didn’t say anything else as he turned around to leave. He didn’t know who this person was, but it was better not to interact with him since he didn’t know.
The head servant also ushered everyone to the area where the ceremony was being held.
