Chapter 234 Meeting the Future Mother-in-law
"Don't worry! Mother understands!" Mrs. Wu nodded. She was not stupid.
"I knew my mother was very smart, so I told you the truth." Mu Xingci praised people with a smile in his eyes, without feeling the slightest bit of guilt for lying.
After convincing the mistress of the Mu family, Mu Xingci began to prepare all matters before welcoming the new bride into the house.
The next day, Wu followed her eldest son's arrangement and deliberately invited several wives of officials to go to Guanshan Temple outside the city to burn incense and ask for divination from a very famous master there.
After they returned, rumors soon spread that the regent had harmed the root of the country's descendants because he had killed too many people, and this was his fate.
Because his evil spirit is too strong, he will face many disasters in the future. If he wants to avoid this disaster, he needs to marry a married woman who also has a strong evil spirit, because ordinary girls cannot withstand his evil spirit.
The mistress of the Mu family believed what the master said, and went home to arrange for a matchmaker to look for a suitable woman to help her son solve his problem. If the matter was successful, she would reward him with a thousand taels of gold.
With such an eye-catching rumor, it quickly spread throughout the capital, and matchmakers came to propose marriage one after another, but none of them satisfied Wu.
It was not until the next day when a matchmaker mentioned Yun Wansheng from the Shangguan Mansion that Wu reluctantly agreed to meet him.
When Yun Wansheng heard that her future mother-in-law wanted to see her, she couldn't help but feel nervous: "Xingci, what should I say to your mother tomorrow?"
Mu Xingci looked at the frightened woman with amusement in his eyes: "Aren't you very talkative? Do you still need to ask me?"
"Isn't this different from usual? Is your mother easy to get along with?" Yun Wansheng looked at the noble and extraordinary man sitting opposite her.
"My mother is a good person. She is not an ordinary woman. She is also a military general. She has a bold personality and never pays attention to trivial matters. She is known as a woman who is as brave as a man. When she was young, even my father was no match for her."
"So powerful? Could it be that your father is deliberately letting her go?"
Mu Xingci laughed out loud when he heard this: "I can't hide anything from you, huh! My father is really giving in to her."
"It seems that your father loves your mother very much?" Yun Wansheng naturally thought positively.
Mu Xingci's eyes darkened. "Maybe she loved him before, but ever since the concubine came into the family, my mother has ignored my father. She never forgave him until he died of depression."
"Ah? Why...why did your father take a concubine?"
"It seems that it was because the concubine was pregnant. My father met her when he was stationed at the border town. At that time, my mother was pregnant with my younger sister and did not follow him to the border town.
I didn't want them to become enemies just because of this separation."
"Your father is not right in this matter." Yun Wansheng stated.
"Well! Let's not talk about him. Don't dress up too much when you go to see my mother tomorrow. My mother likes women who are graceful and elegant." Mu Xingci reminded.
"Got it. Hey! You haven't told me where we're meeting yet?"
"When she comes to your Shangguan Mansion, I will go with her. You don't need to be nervous or afraid." Mu Xingci said with a smile, and reached out to hold the woman's small hand on the table opposite him.
"I am nervous, but not scared." Yun Wansheng smiled as she felt the warmth in her hand.
"Are you nervous?" Mu Xingci stood up and walked towards her with a slight curl of his lips. He pulled her up without letting go of his hand, and then held the woman in his arms.
"What are you doing? Can't you just sit down and talk?" Yun Wansheng put her hands on the man's chest, trying to push him away.
"Didn't I want you to relax because you said you were nervous? Why are you blaming me?" Mu Xingci's sexy thin lips had a hint of evil charm, and his palm caressed the woman's delicate cheek.
Yun Wansheng naturally grasped his teasing hand and rudely shook it off: "I wasn't that nervous to begin with, but your fuss has made me even more nervous. My brother is still home!"
When she thought about the last time when they were cuddling behind the screen and Shangguan Lan suddenly came in, she felt embarrassed every time she saw him.
Mu Xingci looked at the woman who was reluctant to let go and coaxed her softly, "Don't worry this time. Your brother won't come again once he knows I came to this yard to find you." As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed the woman's lips.
He had to hurry and marry her, but he had to take care of so many things when having sex with her, which made him very unhappy.
Sure enough, the next day, Mu Xingci and his mother came to Shangguan Mansion under the guidance of a matchmaker.
Shangguan Lan treated everyone to some good tea and then asked someone to call his sister to the living room.
Yun Wansheng came to the reception room with a plain face and saw the woman sitting in the main seat at a glance.
Her dignified and elegant dress gave her a calm and restrained temperament. This kind of majestic aura made people know at a glance that this woman was a very courageous person.
"Greetings, Madam!" Yun Wansheng stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
"Don't be so polite." Mrs. Wu stood up and gave her a light support, her eyes unconsciously looking up and down at her future daughter-in-law.
The woman in front of him was wearing a purple dress and a jacket, and her pretty face was not made up at all. Her otherworldly dress, set off by her tall and slender figure, exuded a heroic air, which made her particularly pleasing to the eye.
"Your name is Yun Wansheng, right?" There was satisfaction in Wu's eyes.
But he was secretly muttering in his heart, no wonder his son couldn't let go of this woman, it turned out that this wonderful person had such a good temperament, and it was obvious that she was capable.
"That's right! Madam, please take a seat." Yun Wansheng helped her walk to the seat with some restraint.
"Miss Yun, how old are you now?" Wu asked gently.
"Madam, I am twenty-four years old this year."
"Five years younger than my son. Miss Yun, I've heard Xingci talk about your past. You're a good girl who values ​​friendship and loyalty. He's let you down for so many years, yet you're still waiting for him wholeheartedly. This is his blessing.
But you know his current situation, and he might have to wrong you in the future. It's not too late if you regret it now," Wu said with a worried look on her face.
Hearing this, Yun Wansheng turned her head to look at Mu Xingci who was sitting next to her. She didn't know what this bastard had said to his mother. Why did it sound to her as if she couldn't live without this man?
"Madam, I didn't agree to this marriage on a whim. I did it after careful consideration.
Since I've decided to marry him, I won't dislike him just because he has a hidden illness. As long as he treats me well in the future, I don't care about anything else." Yun Wansheng said righteously.
Her words made Wu even more satisfied with her: "Good child, don't worry, as long as you marry into the Regent's Palace, we will not let you down.
If you wish to have a child someday, I will adopt a boy from my collateral relatives. This way, your position in the Prince Regent's Palace will be more secure." Wu thought she was being kind.
"Mom! What are you talking about? Let's talk about the future later. Now we are here to propose marriage." Seeing that his mother had gone astray, Mu Xingci hurriedly spoke out to stop her. He was not really disabled.
