Yunzhi was born in ancient times, and she tried to imitate ancient women timidly, just to live a good life in ancient times.
Finally, she became the first-rank marquis lady of the Great Zhou ...
When Dongli Lu Cang saw that it was a month later, he was immediately overjoyed. He had thought it would be at least half a year before he could win the heart of his beloved.
I can't believe it's been a month! That's wonderful.
Seeing Dongli Lucang's happy expression, Yunzhi couldn't help but smile as well. It was clear that he was genuinely happy, unlike when An Xiuyuan married her before, when he looked happy and had a smile on his face, but it didn't reach his eyes.
Indeed, whether someone has you in their heart can be seen from many details.
Once the wedding date was set, Lu Cang of Dongli immediately began preparations.
People in the capital had various thoughts upon hearing this news. In the past, An Xiuyuan would have at most felt a little uncomfortable.
But now that An Xiuyuan knows that the woman he loves and cherishes has cheated on him, he feels even more that Yunzhi is good and that she is the one who truly cares for him.
Therefore, he had spent these past few days filled with regret, even hoping to rekindle their old romance. Hearing that she and the Regent had set a wedding date shattered his hopes, leaving him utterly despondent.
He took the wine and drank himself into a stupor in his courtyard. He didn't even go to the government office; it was his servant who had to ask for leave for him.
Of course, An Xiuyuan wasn't the only one who was upset; the entire Yun family was also feeling bad.
With Yunzhi and the Regent's wedding date set, there was no possibility of change. This was not good news for the Yun family. Especially since Madam Xu and Yunzhu had even considered substituting one of their wives for the other.
Previously, they weren't in a hurry because they felt they still had time, enough time to scheme against Yunzhi and make secret arrangements.
But now, in just over a month, Yunzhi will marry the Regent. Then she will truly become a princess, and they will have to bow to her when they see her again.
This was more painful than cutting off a piece of their flesh for the strong-willed Xu family and Yunzhu. Therefore, Yunzhu ran to Xu's courtyard and cried her heart out, lamenting her misfortune. She said that Yunzhi, after remarrying, was able to marry the Regent, while she herself struggled to even find a husband.
Hearing this, Madam Xu was naturally heartbroken. After all, they were her own flesh and blood, and she had cherished and doted on them as they grew up. The thought that Yunzhi could marry so well, while Yunzhu couldn't even find a husband, filled her with resentment.
Therefore, she decided to sabotage the marriage. Of course, it would be best if Yunzhu could marry the Regent. That way, she would be the Regent's mother-in-law, which would give her a lot of prestige. Everyone would have to live according to her wishes, instead of being at the mercy of others as she is now.
Thinking of this, Madam Xu comforted her daughter for a few moments, and then said to her, "Zhu'er, don't worry, I will absolutely not let her marry the Regent."
"Really?" Yunzhu was somewhat skeptical. They had plotted against Yunzhi more than once or twice, but each time she had managed to evade them, and in the end, they were the ones who suffered the consequences.
Therefore, her first reaction after hearing her mother's words was to be skeptical.
"Don't worry!" Madam Xu nodded with a smile; she had already begun her plan. Originally, she had intended to wait until the plan was almost complete before revealing it.
It seems we can't wait any longer.
Therefore, after sending Yunzhu away, Madam Xu summoned the people she had sent out to handle the matter and instructed them, "I want the entire capital to know within a day that Yunzhi is a promiscuous and shameless woman."
