Chapter 235 A Smooth Wedding
Seeing her son's unhappy expression, Mrs. Wu stopped talking about it. "Miss Yun, I'm old. Please don't blame me if I'm wrong."
"It's okay, ma'am." Yun Wansheng smiled politely.
"Miss Yun, your infatuation with Xing Ci makes me, as his mother, very grateful. I thought he would live alone for the rest of his life.
I didn't want him to have you, my confidante, waiting for him. Now that I know you are with him, you don't know how happy I am.
I know it's selfish to think this way, but as a mother, which one would like to see their child live a lonely and helpless life?
"I hope you'll understand him more after you get married. If you regret it later, we mother and son won't make it difficult for you. You can just file for a divorce then," Wu said earnestly.
When Yun Wansheng heard her words, she secretly cursed the bastard for being so good at flattering himself.
"Madam, please don't worry. Since I chose to marry him, I have never thought about the day when I would divorce him." Yun Wansheng said coaxingly.
"If you haven't thought about it, then I will feel more relieved. Since you treat my son so well, I will not let you down. Our Regent's Palace will double the betrothal gift. You can ask for whatever you want. As long as I can do it, I will get it for you." Wu said generously.
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam. The betrothal gift can be as normal as usual. I have no other requests."
Seeing how sensible she was, Wu liked her even more: "Good girl, Xing Ci is so lucky to have such a gentle and considerate wife like you."
Upon hearing this, Yun Wansheng could only smile politely.
Wu was very satisfied with the meeting this time, and Yun Wansheng also thought that she was a good future mother-in-law, so the marriage was considered a success.
Wu left, but Mu Xingci didn't leave. Yun Wansheng rolled her eyes at him and returned to her own yard.
Mu Xingci followed her to the cross-yard feeling a little guilty. As soon as he entered the house, a pillow came towards him and he caught it easily.
"What's wrong, Wansheng? Weren't you fine just now?" Mu Xingci walked up to the woman holding a pillow and said with a smile.
"Tell me! What did you tell your mother about me?" Yun Wansheng grabbed his neck with both hands and asked seemingly forcing him.
"Of course I'm speaking well of you, otherwise why would she agree to our marriage so quickly?" Mu Xingci held the pair of harmless little hands on his neck, smiling.
"You're saying nice things to make me sound like a love-struck woman who will only marry you? If you say that, I'll be so embarrassed when I enter your house, as if I will only marry you." Yun Wansheng pouted her red lips, expressing her dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, Mu Xingci's handsome face was filled with a happy smile. He reached out and embraced the strong woman: "Okay, don't be angry. When you get home, I will tell my family that you are not the infatuated one. I am the most infatuated man. It's okay for me to be the one who pesters you, right?"
"Mu Xingci, I found out that I've been fooled by you. On the surface, it's you who keeps pestering me, but once I marry you, all the good public opinion will go to you. Then I will be seen as marrying above my station, and no one will believe that you were the one pursuing me." Yun Wansheng said a little aggrievedly.
Mu Xingci had never really thought about this question: "Uh! Now that you put it, it's true, but in order for us to be together, there are some things that cannot be explained to outsiders.
Wansheng, please bear with it for a while. When the time is right, I will let everyone know that it is me, Mu Xingci, who must have you."
Yun Wansheng looked at him with a gentle yet cautious expression, as if he was afraid that she would get angry and not marry him.
His reaction softened Yun Wansheng's heart. She stopped being so angry with him and put her arms around the man's waist, leaning against him. "Forget it, as long as we keep it between ourselves, I don't care what others say. I was just joking with you just now, don't take it seriously."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci understood that she was trying to comfort him. Feeling the caring nature of the woman in his arms, he couldn't help but smile, and he hugged her tighter.
"I have someone choose an auspicious date. We will get married on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. If possible, I would like to marry you tomorrow."
Yun Wansheng calculated the days: "There's still more than a month left, ten days earlier than my brother."
"Your brother and sister got married within a month of each other, which can be considered a double happiness.
However, there may be two weddings in my house, and my second brother is also getting married." Mu Xingci said happily.
"Really? Four happy events in such a short time would be much more exciting."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci's eyes suddenly darkened again: "Your brother and my second brother's marriage must be postponed. It cannot take place this year. After all, the retired emperor just passed away not long ago. If our two families get married one after another, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction."
The man's words made Yun Wansheng feel that he was right. "How about we get married after the New Year? My eldest brother's marriage has already been arranged, and we can't put it off any longer."
"No, I will not give in on this matter. Even my own brother has to give way to me. I have waited long enough." Mu Xingci made a decisive decision.
"You are too domineering! You are bullying others by taking advantage of your power." Yun Wansheng said unconvinced.
"As long as I can marry you soon, I don't care if he's overbearing or not. I'll admit it even if you accuse me of bullying. Just wait for me to come and take you home."
Yun Wansheng saw that he had made up his mind and didn't say anything else. Compared to her, he had indeed waited longer than anyone else. His anxiety also showed that he really wanted to marry her.
When Shangguan Lan heard Mu Xingci asked him to change the wedding date, he readily agreed.
When his second brother heard this, although he was not convinced, he had no choice. After all, his eldest brother was the boss! He could only obey.
The news of the marriage between the two families soon spread throughout the capital, and people couldn't help but sigh, how could a woman who was unlucky in marriage have such a good life? She had the Duke's Mansion in front and the Regent's Mansion behind her, how could they both choose her?
But the difference is that the former is a Duke of a foreign country, while the latter is a good match for the Regent.
After hearing this, Duke Tian Jinfeng's face became gloomy every day. He thought to himself that he was unlucky. If he knew that woman was really unlucky for him, he would never marry her.
He thought that no good family would marry a woman like her, but he didn't expect that she would marry the Regent instead. How could he not be jealous?
But it was too late to hate. He didn't dare to take revenge on that woman because he knew very well that the power of the Duke's Mansion would gradually weaken.
However, the regent was at the peak of his power and was not someone he could afford to offend at the moment.
Ever since Mu Xingci killed many people and reorganized the entire court, most of the civil and military officials in the court are his people. If anyone is so blind as to offend him, that person will definitely suffer a miserable end.
As time passed, the wedding date arrived as scheduled. An unprecedented grand wedding brought Yun Wansheng, dressed in a bright red wedding dress, into the Regent's Palace. At this time, she sat in the bridal chamber quietly waiting for the arrival of the groom.
