Chapter 116: All is settled
Mu Yejun looked at Shen Shenshen's charming and beautiful face, looked at the hope in her eyes as bright as stars, and saw her smiling at him.
At this moment, Mu Yejun felt that his heart had been dug out, and his heart was empty with nothing but his crazy love for this woman. He turned his head away from her, fearing that if he looked at her for one more second, he would not be able to resist and take her away immediately.
Seeing that Mu Yejun didn't say anything, Mrs. Mu suddenly stopped talking and sat down silently.
Everyone realized at this time that something was wrong with Madam Mu. Madam Mu, who had just been arrogant and insisted on asking the Marquis's mansion to give an explanation, stopped talking after the second son stopped talking.
Only Zhu Yanxiao looked at Mu Yejun deeply.
No one asked further, and Lord Shen was the first to break the silence: "Princess, the marriage between Prince Zhu and the second young lady of our mansion..."
"Don't worry, my Lord. I will decide on a suitable day to exchange the birth certificates for the two children and arrange the marriage. It's too late to get married this year. After the two exchange the birth certificates, we will choose a good day to get married next year."
Suddenly Zhu Yanxiao's cold voice rang out, startling everyone present.
"Miss Shen, are you willing to marry this prince as soon as possible?"
Shen Shen looked at the person he loved so much and smiled, "Yes, Ziyuan."
He smiled back and continued his mother's previous topic, "Mother, we will exchange engagement letters tomorrow. Although time is tight this year, there is still more than four months left, so let's set the wedding date on an auspicious day in the twelfth lunar month."
Zhu Yanxiao was unwilling to wait any longer. Mu Yejun was eyeing his prince's wife covetously. This man could use forbidden techniques on his own parents. He was so cruel and merciless that he had no bottom line. The longer the night, the more dreams he would have.
"Ziyuan, this is not very polite." The princess was a little surprised that the eldest son was so anxious to get married. According to the eldest son's personality, he liked Miss Shen Er so much that he should want to give her a grand wedding.
Madam Shen also hurriedly said, "Master Zhu, the princess is right. The second young lady's elder sister has not yet married, so she must wait until the eldest young lady in the mansion is married before she can marry."
He stood up and bowed to the two masters of the marquisate who were sitting in the main seats.
"Lord Shen, Madam Shen, please forgive Ziyuan for being abrupt, but may I ask if Dongxiang has any law that stipulates the order in which sisters from different houses should marry?"
"This..." Madam Shen glanced at the Marquis, and seeing him shaking his head, she said, "It has not been decided yet."
"The established rules are in the hands of this prince... Ziyuan only follows the laws of Dongxiang. So, please, my lord and madam, marry your daughter to Ziyuan this year. The Prince Zhong's Mansion would be very grateful." Thinking of the future father-in-law and mother-in-law, Zhu Yanxiao tried to be as polite as possible.
After saying this, he also bowed to the princess as a junior and said, "Mother, please help me."
The princess felt mixed emotions as she watched her proud eldest son behave like this in front of outsiders.
"Well, mother thinks we can choose an auspicious day in the twelfth month of this year to welcome Miss Shen to our house."
"Thank you, mother, for your help."
Mrs. Shen still felt something was wrong and said, "Master Zhu, this..." Lord Shen coughed lightly. Mrs. Shen looked at her husband. Shen Qingming shook his head at her. Mrs. Shen understood and said nothing more.
"Hahaha, Shen'er, this girl, has received the love of the prince of Prince Zhong's mansion. This marquis also thinks it would be a good idea to get married as soon as possible. This arrangement is also appropriate. This matter is settled like this."
"Thank you, Lord Shen, Madam Shen." Zhu Yanxiao expressed his gratitude.
When he turned around, he inadvertently saw Mu Yejun staring at Shen Shenshen with a gloomy expression. The latter was unaware and was smiling at him with bright eyes. He suddenly became alert and wished he could marry her back to the palace tomorrow so that he could feel at ease with her staying by his side.
At this time, Madam Mu stood up with an indifferent expression: "You two mansions have a very pleasant conversation. Duke Yunsheng's mansion will not disturb you. Goodbye. Huaibi, let's go."
Lord Shen, Madam Shen, and Shenshen immediately stood up and saluted. Madam Shen prepared to see them off and followed the two out. No matter what the attitude of the Duke's Mansion was, the Marquis' Mansion was already in the wrong, so the etiquette must not be missed.
Mu Yejun said to Madam Shen who followed him, "Madam, please stay. You don't have to see me off." Without waiting for her to reply, he immediately said gently to Shen Shenshen who was about to sit down, "Second Miss Shen, can you see me off?"
Shen Shenshen looked at Zhu Yanxiao with embarrassment, whose expression suddenly turned ugly, and turned to look at his father.
Marquis An Bo sighed inwardly: Oh, I didn't expect that the Second Young Master Mu was so deeply in love with Shen'er. Fortunately, the marriage was settled today, otherwise I don't know what big things would happen later.
"Alright, Madam still needs to discuss the subsequent marriage with the princess, so the second young lady will escort the two distinguished guests on behalf of her mother. Luhen, you follow the second young lady and come back quickly."
"Yes, father. I'll be back soon." At this moment, she no longer dared to look at Zhu Yanxiao.
"Yes, my lord." Lu Hen obediently followed the three masters and their respective servants out of the courtyard.
Zhu Yanxiao's eyes were fixed on the few people as they left the house.
After they had walked a few steps, Madam Mu suddenly turned around and looked at Shen Shenshen. She was startled by his lifeless pupils. It seemed as if he was looking at her but also as if he was not looking at her.
"Miss Shen, I'm sure you have a lot to say to Huaibi about what happened today. I'll go wait in the carriage first. Ask your maid to stay away." After saying that, he led a group of servants and walked away quickly without waiting for her answer. Du Ruo looked at Mu Yejun, who nodded slightly to the servant. Du Ruo also followed Madam Mu and her group forward.
"Oh, no. Madam Mu, I don't have anything to say." Shen Shenshen looked at the crowd and called out at a speed almost jogging.
Mu Yejun's gentle voice sounded: "Shenshen, I'm sorry about what happened a few days ago."
Shen Shenshen was not pretentious and thought it would be better to just talk it out today.
"Huai Bi, I originally thought that the past should be left to rot in my stomach. But since you took the initiative to bring it up, I might as well ask Master Mu, you keep saying that you like me, but why did you use forbidden techniques on me? Is this your way of expressing your love, Second Master?"
"...God, you...know?" After a brief silence, Mu Yejun spoke.
"Of course I know. The Second Young Master was very cunning that day and sent everyone around him away."
Mu Yejun remained silent, feeling apologetic.
"Huai Bi, can you promise not to use forbidden techniques on me from now on?"
"Okay." This time he replied quickly: "I promise you."
Shen Shenshen smiled and said, "Then I will forgive Huaibi too. Our past is wiped out."
Written off.
This is because she doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore. Mu Yejun stared at the girl in front of him. She was very beautiful today. She stood in the afternoon sunshine of the chrysanthemum moon, so close to him, so close that he could see the small hairs on her face were inlaid with the sun's light.
He suddenly understood why he liked her so much, because she shone her bright light into his dark heart.
Mu Yejun said a little sadly: "But Shenshen, this young master likes you very much, very much!"
"Thank you for liking me, Huaibi, but I already have someone in my heart. I wish us both well in the future, and you will meet someone you like in the future." She stopped, looked at Mu Yejun, and gave her sincere blessings.
