The old lady glanced at Song Yan'er:

Which side are you on?

Song Yan'er: I'm rooting for these two to become a successful couple!

The old lady rolled her eyes, thought for a moment, and realized that Yuuji's conditions were quite good!

Given that the two were already in love, this marriage was truly the best possible match!

The old lady glanced at Old Man Si, who was still somewhat conflicted!

At this moment, Xiao Yang stepped forward:

"Mingyue, what are you thinking? Do you want to wait for his parents to arrive, or do you want to arrange the marriage today?"

Si Mingyue was a little conflicted, but no matter what, she had to listen to her father and couldn't make decisions on her own!

Before Si Mingyue could answer, someone knocked on the door!

It turned out that Song Dahai had brought Xiong Er's parents over!

The Xiong Batian couple rushed here as soon as they received the letter from their husbands, who were looking for their youngest son!

After all, nothing can compare to her son's marriage!

As soon as they arrived at Song Yan'er's house, they were told that their son had already gone to his future father-in-law's house. How could that be? People in the capital value etiquette, and they were very afraid that their son would be kicked out. So they didn't even have a sip of water before letting Song Dahai bring him over!

"Father, Mother, how come you arrived so quickly? I thought you wouldn't be here for another three to five days!"

Yuuji was also very surprised to see his parents!

It looks like they didn't rest at all on the way!

"Heh, good lad, you've already figured out you need a wife. We're all eager to see our daughter-in-law as soon as possible, aren't we? You wait here, your older brothers are coming too, but they have some things to take care of at home, so they'll be a few days later!"

Yuuji's mother was also a very outgoing woman, but she thought that as the wife of the border commander, she couldn't be a delicate and demure girl, because she wouldn't be able to keep the commander in check!

Upon hearing this, Xiong Er quickly led Si Mingyue, whose face was slightly flushed, to his mother's side:

"Mother, she is Si Mingyue, the person I've chosen for this lifetime! Mingyue, this is my mother!"

"Hello, Auntie!"

Si Mingyue was incredibly nervous about being suddenly introduced to her parents! Her greeting was just an instinctive reaction; she had absolutely no idea what to do next!

Madam Xiong fell in love with Si Mingyue at first sight; she was such a beauty! No wonder her son lost his heart!

Madam Xiong took Si Mingyue's hand and directly put the bracelet from her own wrist onto Si Mingyue's wrist:

"Jade bracelets with this kind of translucency look best on young people like you! Yuuji, look, isn't it beautiful!"

Si Mingyue knew she shouldn't accept such an expensive gift on their first meeting, so she quickly declined:

"Auntie, this is too precious, I can't accept it!"

Just as she was about to take off the bracelet on her wrist, Yuuji interrupted her:

“Mingyue, please accept this from my mother. She has many bracelets like this, so she won’t miss this one. They were all given to her by my father. I will give you all the ones I buy in the future. Please keep this one for now. Don’t let her good intentions go to waste!”

Madam Xiong was so angry she laughed: "As expected, once you have a wife, you forget your mother!"

Si Mingyue looked at the old lady for help, and the old lady nodded at her. Only then did she not take off the bracelet on her wrist, but she glared at Xiong Er with some anger!

Yuuji...

What happened? What did I do wrong?

Mrs. Xiong felt ashamed for her foolish son! He was incredibly stupid when he should have been smart!

Commander Xiong and General Si are here.

"Long time no see! I never thought we'd become in-laws! Hahaha, if I'd known, I would have sent my youngest son to your house when he was little, so he wouldn't be an old bachelor now!"

Xiao Yang felt deeply awkward standing next to Xiong Batian! Fortunately, Xiong Er's personality was unlike Xiong Batian's!

General Si was somewhat speechless, but considering that the two might eventually become in-laws, he didn't say anything, only smiled slightly!

Xiong Er knew his father very well. To prevent his father from ruining his plans, Xiong Er followed Xiong Batian to General Si's side as soon as he arrived. Upon hearing his father's words, he knew something was wrong and quickly interrupted:

"Father, here are the betrothal gifts I asked you to bring! Since you and Mother are here too, how about we finalize the engagement first!"

General Si glanced at Xiong Er, who immediately turned his head away to look at Song Yan'er, feeling somewhat guilty!

General Si: Hmph!

Song Yan'er...

"Yes, since Uncle and Aunt have come all the way to the capital, let's sit down and discuss what else needs to be done!"

General Si finally agreed to finalize the marriage today!

Firstly, the arrival of Xiong Batian and his wife undoubtedly shows that they value Si Mingyue highly, so there is no doubt about that!

Secondly, Xiong Batian is, after all, the commander-in-chief of the border, and it wouldn't be good for him to be away for too long, a point that General Si can understand very well!

Thirdly, Xiong Er and Si Mingyue are indeed in love with each other, so it doesn't matter if it's a day earlier or later!

Yuuji held the newly issued marriage certificate and looked at it carefully again and again!

Song Yan'er couldn't hold back any longer and walked up to Xiong Er:

"I'm telling you, that's enough! You look like you've never seen the world before. Be careful, General Si might not be willing to marry his daughter to you if he sees you acting like this!"

Yuuji...

"Sister-in-law, you're married, so of course you don't know the pain of us unmarried people! We finally got a glimpse of each other's birth charts, and you can't even let me have a little fun!"
