The night before her wedding, Li Muge learned about the detailed wedding customs of the people.
Even when she was married, she was simply tied up and thrown into the bridal sedan chair. No one combed her hair or spoke intimately to her.
But she still combed Xiao Shaoyao's hair herself, not wanting to make Xiao Shaoyao feel wronged.
She gently picked up the jade comb and lightly combed Xiao Shaoyao's long hair.
"May you live in harmony and happiness, with a loving and respectful marriage."
"Ershu lives a carefree life, peaceful and joyful."
"May you grow old together, never to be separated, through three combs of your hair."
Little Peony's tears were about to fall, and she hugged Mu Ge's waist tightly, moved.
"Mu Ge, you are so good to me. Even if I get married in the future, I will stay with you forever and I will never leave you."
"Silly peony, you're so naive. It's a two-way street, you're so good to me too!"
Li Muge smiled and said, "Everyone needs to have their own life. You're already married, so how can you keep following me? Have you thought about Mu An?"
"In love, everyone hopes to be the most important one, incomparable to anyone else. Little Peony, since you like Mu An and want to be with him for life, you must learn to understand him."
"Yes, Muge, I will. I will try my best to be a good wife." Little Peony's tears fell: "But Muge, for some reason, I feel so uneasy."
"It seems like something's about to happen?" Little Peony muttered.
"How could that be? No one will cause trouble. I think you're just too nervous. Are you worried that someone will come to take your brother Mu An away?"
“How could that be? He wouldn’t dare!” Little Peony pouted. “Mu An isn’t that kind of person. He said that he would never like a woman again except for me.”
After saying this, Little Peony blushed, her innocent face now showing a hint of girlish shyness.
Li Muge covered her mouth and laughed: "Okay, your Mu An brother is the best. But fate is really strange, you two are both peony flower fairies."
"A peony fairy, who doesn't compete for beauty, has instead happily married. Little peony, may you live a peaceful and joyful life from now on."
"If that brat Mu An dares to treat you badly, come find me. I'll always be your family."
"Uh-huh."
After Mu Ge left, Xiao Shaoyao looked shyly at the bronze mirror, pursed her lower lip, and her eyes sparkled with longing for the future.
She remembered seeing Mu An from the very first day she gained consciousness; he was exceptionally kind to her.
She'll definitely be very happy to marry someone like that.
She will definitely have children with Mu An in the future. How many will they have?
She likes children, and Mu An certainly does too.
What kind of flower would be the offspring of a peony and a peony?
From now on, she will be with Mu An forever.
People often say that marriage is the grave of love, but she entered this grave willingly.
The thought of spending time with Mu An filled her with anticipation.
--
Under the silent starry sky, Li Mu held onto the colorful feather in his hand, recalling the story Su Xun had told him.
I was deeply moved. It was a miracle that Little Peony recovered from such a serious injury overnight.
But Su Xun is nowhere to be found.
Did Su Xun save Xiao Shaoyao? Then where is he now?
Li Muge prepared a bag of wedding candy to send to Cui Mingzhu, but by this time, the Zhang family had already undergone a complete transformation.
After Zhang's mother fell ill.
Cui Mingzhu stopped working hard outside to support the family as before.
Zhang Sheng was merely riding the coattails of a successful candidate in the imperial examinations; his prestige was only superficial.
He is indeed talented.
But he was a terrible person, lacking tact and having an inflated sense of self-importance.
So even in the small town of Sifang, he couldn't make a name for himself.
Driven by a thirst for revenge, Cui Mingzhu took drastic measures, putting a poison in Zhang Sheng's food that would prevent him from ever touching a woman again.
The night after the poisoning, Cui Mingzhu stood outside the courtyard, looking at the starry sky.
Li Muge appeared out of nowhere beside her.
Cui Mingzhu was not afraid at all when she saw it.
"Why aren't you surprised?" Li Muge asked, somewhat taken aback.
“What do I have to be afraid of now? I have nothing left.” Cui Mingzhu said with a bitter smile.
She used to think that as long as she was virtuous and kind, a good daughter, a good sister, a good wife, a good daughter-in-law, and a good mother, everything would be fine.
The hard times will eventually pass, but reality dealt her a heavy blow, shattering all her naive fantasies.
Li Muge sighed: "Actually, Cui Mingzhu, I don't really like your current state. Even if it's for revenge, you can live the life you truly want before seeking revenge."
"I don't need to stay in this cramped house anymore, losing myself and spending every moment with the people I resent."
Li Muge placed the wedding candy in Cui Mingzhu's hand: "Have a piece of wedding candy to share in the joy. May you have a happy and joyful life in the future and live the life you want."
"Who are you?" Cui Mingzhu felt that the bright red woman in front of her was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
"Who I am is not important, Mingzhu! I just feel that you have suffered too much in your life."
"I hope you're happier." Li Muge said with a gentle smile.
"Thank you. My life will be better from now on. Hardship will not defeat me; it will only make me braver."
"Girl, I received your blessing."
As soon as Cui Mingzhu finished speaking, Li Muge, who was standing next to her, vanished into thin air.
But Cui Mingzhu has found her direction for the future and is no longer confused.
