Mu Jingrui and Shangguan Wanning got married in the presence of Huo Gang and the disciples of Wuji Sect.
In the bridal chamber, when Mu Jingrui lifted Shangguan Wanning's red veil and looked at her stunningly beautiful and shy face, his heart was filled with excitement.
He held Shangguan Wanning in his arms and bent down to kiss her lips.
"Hey, wait a minute."
Shangguan Wanning placed her hands on Mu Jingrui's chest and turned her head away to avoid his kiss.
"What's wrong?"
Mu Jingrui felt as if there was a fire burning in his body at this moment, making his thoughts boil.
Wait a minute? Still waiting?
"There are still important things that have not been done?" Shangguan Wanning said with clear eyes blinking.
Mu Jingrui grabbed Shangguan Wanning's hand. "Think about the most important thing. Ning'er, you know how long I have been waiting for this day."
Although he had gotten her before, that was a long time ago after all.
What's more, they were not in a legitimate relationship at that time, but now, she is the real Mrs. Mu.
"The head teacher told me that before... that, we have to drink the quilt-binding wine first, otherwise the ceremony will not be considered complete."
Mu Jingrui showed a helpless expression, stood up and walked to the table and poured two glasses of wine.
Shangguan Wanning took it and held it in her hand, and the two of them drank the wedding wine carefully.
"Ning'er, from now on, you are my wife. I will protect you, take care of you, and accompany you for the rest of my life. I will not let you suffer any grievances."
"Jingrui, I will also take care of you and love you, and I will stand by you through thick and thin, and through life and death."
A tender smile appeared on Mu Jingrui's lips. He lifted Shangguan Wanning's chin and kissed her lips gently.
Tonight, his possession of her came naturally.
There was a breeze blowing gently outside the window, and the branches in the yard were swaying in the breeze. The stars in the night sky were twinkling, emitting a gentle light.
A meteor fell with a long tail, leaving a beautiful landscape.
It was late at night and everything was quiet.
Mu Jingrui looked at Shangguan Wanning who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and couldn't help but reach out and gently rub her cheek.
The best future he could imagine now was to wake up every morning and see her smile.
Mu Jingrui's heart was filled with tenderness. He gently kissed Shangguan Wanning's brow and subconsciously increased the strength of his arms to hold her.
Suddenly, there were faint sounds of footsteps outside the door, as if someone was pacing back and forth anxiously.
Mu Jingrui frowned slightly.
He gently pulled out the arm that Shangguan Wanning was resting on, tiptoed out of bed, and picked up a piece of clothing from the screen and put it on.
"Master Mu."
Huo Gang was hesitating whether to wake up Mu Jingrui and Shangguan Wanning.
Seeing Mu Jingrui coming out of the room, he couldn't let go of the huge rock hanging in his heart.
"What's the matter?" Mu Jingrui asked in a low voice.
"I just received news from the capital that Madam Shangguan has passed away."
Mu Jingrui's face suddenly changed, and his heart was in his throat.
"Died? When did it happen? Why did he die?"
"Yesterday afternoon. I heard that he died suddenly."
Huo Gang had a very good impression of Mrs. Shangguan.
When they were in trouble, they were taken in by Shangguan Wanning. When he was away on business, Mrs. Shangguan took good care of Su Mo.
As far as he could remember, Madam Shangguan had never yelled at any of her servants.
She is virtuous and modest, kind and gentle, but her health has always been weak.
Such a person... shouldn't have such a short life.
"Master Mu, the eldest lady and Madam Shangguan have a deep mother-daughter relationship. I'm afraid we can't hide this from her..."
"I know."
Mu Jingrui didn't think of hiding it, even though he knew Shangguan Wanning would be heartbroken. "I'll tell her, you go and rest."
Huo Gang nodded, turned and left.
Mu Jingrui stood outside the door for a while, trying hard to organize his words so that Shangguan Wanning could accept them.
He took a deep breath, and the moment he pushed the door open, he was stunned.
Shangguan Wanning stood blankly behind the door, her face ashen and tears streaming down her face.
“Ning’er…”
Mu Jingrui hurried forward and held her in his arms. "Ning'er, don't be afraid... You will feel better if you cry..."
On the wedding night, Mu Jingrui really didn't expect to receive such bad news.
He felt Shangguan Wanning trembling violently in his arms, so he patted her back gently.
"My mother...is dead. I will never see her again..."
Shangguan Wanning felt like the whole world was collapsing.
She was reborn and changed her fate of being executed by Xiao Zhenting in her previous life. She worshipped Lu Xiangzi as her teacher, just to learn medicine and take good care of her mother. But in the end...
The Yiyong Marquis Mansion no longer exists, leaving only her uncle Zheng Binghong; her father stood on the opposing side, causing a rift between father and daughter; even her mother, whom she wanted to protect the most, died...
"No more... I have nothing..." Shangguan Wanning tightly grasped Mu Jingrui's arm, her voice so hoarse that she couldn't speak.
"No, Ning'er... You still have me. I'm still here, don't be afraid..."
Mu Jingrui had experienced the pain of losing a loved one, and he knew that any words of comfort at this time would be futile.
He could only hug Shangguan Wanning tightly and let her cry as much as she wanted.
"mother……"
Shangguan Wanning was heartbroken, her breathing became rapid, and she passed out when her vision went dark.
"Ning'er."
Mu Jingrui hurriedly carried her back to the house and asked Huo Gang to find a doctor nearby.
When Shangguan Wanning woke up again, what caught her eyes were Mu Jingrui's anxious eyes.
A huge sadness and desolation came over her, her heart was broken, but she no longer had the strength to cry.
She suddenly felt that her heart had become as hard as iron the moment she learned of her mother's death.
"How long have I been unconscious?" Shangguan Wanning asked in a low voice.
"Just one morning."
Mu Jingrui helped Shangguan Wanning sit up.
She looked out the window and saw a bright ray of sunshine falling on the potted plants on the windowsill.
Tears blurred my vision again, but they did not fall.
She looked at Mu Jingrui and murmured to herself, "Jingrui... From now on, you are the only one left in this world..."
"I know. Ning'er, I will always hold your hand and will never let you down."
Mu Jingrui crossed his fingers with Shangguan Wanning and looked at her firmly.
Shangguan Wanning lowered her eyelids, feeling so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe.
"Master Mu, Miss."
Huo Gang knocked on the door and reported: "The imperial court has pursuers coming. It's not safe here. We have to leave immediately."
"good."
Mu Jingrui had made up his mind not to return to the capital, and Shangguan Wanning's current condition made him even more worried.
"Ning'er, you take a rest for a while. I'll go and pack up and leave here first."
