Xiao Li also went to meet this girl with her mother. Not only was she very beautiful, but she also had a cheerful, gentle, and generous personality, which perfectly matched Xiao Li's image of a sister-in-law. She was very happy.
Mo Yunxiao is twenty years old this year. The betrothal gifts were prepared long ago. A room was set up at the escort agency, an auspicious day was chosen, and the betrothal gifts were delivered directly to the escort agency.
They also made some gold and silver jewelry, bought a lot of furniture, and prepared new cotton quilts and bedding, all according to the dowry specifications. Then they brought the bride back and held a banquet with more than a dozen tables, and the marriage was done.
On his wedding day, Mo Yunxiao dressed in new clothes and led a group of his good brothers in a horse-drawn carriage to pick up his bride. When they arrived at the village entrance, musicians who had been waiting there played music all the way to escort her to her doorstep.
After the wedding ceremony, the celebratory feast began. The whole village was invited, and a total of 20 tables were set up. Several aunties were invited to help prepare the feast, and everyone was busy and happy.
Mo Yunxiao lifted the red veil and went out to accompany the guests. Several cousins came to make a fuss for a while and then went to eat at the banquet. Only Xiaoli was left to accompany the newly appointed sister-in-law so that she wouldn't be scared.
Xiao Li picked up the plate of snacks on the table and handed it to Ye Qiuwen: "Sister-in-law, are you hungry? Have some snacks first, and I'll bring you your meal later."
These pastries were made to a small size, perfect for one bite. Ye Qiuwen could see them clearly, and a warm feeling washed over her. She softly hummed in agreement and ate four or five before stopping. She then ate two large strawberries to quench her thirst.
Xiao Li set the plates down and tidied her sister-in-law's appearance before Mo Yunxiao entered. He was beaming with joy, clearly very pleased with the marriage.
He was carrying a tray with a bowl of noodles, a few side dishes, and a bowl piled high with meat and vegetables.
As she placed the food on the table, she said, "Little sister, thank you for your hard work. I've brought Xiao Qiu her food. You should go and eat too."
Xiao Li gave a mischievous smile, obediently went out, and closed the door behind her.
Mo Yunxiao bought a property in town. After getting married, they lived in Mo Family Village for a while before moving to town. Mo Yunxiao took care of the escort agency. After they left, the Mo family became deserted.
As Yun Yu Niang sat in the courtyard, thinking about how after her daughter got married, only she and her husband would be left at home, she was overcome with grief and tears streamed down her face.
Mo Qingshan happened to return and saw this, so he quickly went up to ask. After learning the reason, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"It's not even a sure thing yet. Look at you, our daughter is very decisive. That guy is not good enough for her. Let's keep her here for a few more years. Don't cry, or your eyes will be swollen." Mo Qingshan gently persuaded her.
"Who's been saying all this time that the Shen family's boy is handsome and skilled? It's all your fault! If you hadn't been talking about him, I wouldn't have even noticed him."
Angry women are terrifying; they're unreasonable, and whoever they say is at fault is at fault.
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I won't let him into the house tomorrow, and I'll tell my daughter to stay away from him from now on." Mo Qingshan nodded repeatedly, admitting his mistake.
"That won't do. This is the only one that's acceptable. If we wait any longer, our daughter will get too old."
Mo Qingshan said directly, "Whatever you say, I'll do it."
Yun Yuniang smiled; her life had been worthwhile.
"How about I ask Xiao'er and Xiao Qiu to go home and live? I can tell you just can't bear to part with them."
Yun Yuniang quickly refused, "Let's stay in town instead. We can come back every few days, and it's closer to the escort agency. Also, we can't expose Xiaoli's secret. We'll see how it goes after we've known each other for a while."
Mo Qingshan nodded.
The whole family is so devoted to their daughter that they don't even want their son and daughter-in-law anymore.
Xiao Li overheard this and was wondering whether she should tell her parents that she didn't want to get married. In the past two years, Shen Qi had often come to visit Grandpa Su, but he was also away most of the time, so the two didn't see each other frequently.
However, Shen Qi probably did have that intention, and he often sent gifts to the Mo family. Xiao Li also thought he was very good, but she always felt that something was missing.
The two never opened up to each other. They both had secrets and were wary of each other.
Xiao Li thought that she would ask clearly next time they met. If it didn't work out, she would give up on the idea completely, focus on cultivation, and let things take their course.
At this moment, Shen Qi was also rushing to Mo Family Village. He had been waiting for Xiao Li to grow up, and he suppressed his intense feelings deep in his heart, afraid of scaring the beauty.
Now that Xiaoli has grown up and Mo Yunxiao is married, it's finally time to propose marriage.
So he went to the capital during this time, sorted out his businesses, prepared the betrothal gifts, and went to his mother's grave to pay his respects. He then told her about the matter.
He never imagined that Xiaoli would disagree. After all, in this era, marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers. He could tell that the head of the Mo family liked him very much, and Xiaoli had not rejected his advances.
Grandpa Su also thought highly of Xiaoli. The more he got to know her after living together for the past few years, the more he realized how rare Xiaoli was. He often sighed that if Xiaoli were a man, she would definitely have achieved great things. What a pity!
Upon hearing that they were going to become family, he was overjoyed and brought out all his most precious possessions, sending his grandson to propose marriage.
Early the next morning, Shen Qi prepared to go out to find the Ice Man, only to see Xiao Li standing not far away watching him. The two walked towards the back mountain in tacit agreement, stopping only when they entered a valley deep in the mountains. This place was open and they weren't afraid of being overheard.
Xiao Li was a little conflicted, unsure how to bring it up. Shouldn't it be better for the man to say it? What if she misunderstood? Wouldn't that be very awkward?
Shen Qi watched Xiao Li's face change repeatedly, finding it quite adorable, and couldn't help but laugh.
What are you thinking about? Is there something you want to tell me?
Xiao Li looked at him with a resentful expression, inwardly complaining, "Why is he smiling so beautifully? I've seen countless celebrities; this little bit of good looks can't tempt me." She looked away, about to speak.
"Oh, right, I also have something to tell you. I want to come to your house to propose marriage, Xiaoli. Let's get married!"
Xiao Li opened her mouth, her eyes widened slightly, and she looked surprised. They were getting married already? She hadn't even dated yet, how could they skip that?
She felt a secret joy in her heart, realizing that it wasn't just wishful thinking on her part; he really did like her.
"Shen Qi, I have three conditions. If you can meet them, then we can talk about marriage." Xiao Li decided to see his attitude first before deciding whether to marry him.
Shen Qi nodded. "Go ahead."
"First, I am a selfish person and will not allow my husband to take a concubine. If you marry me, you can only have me from now on and you cannot be fickle."
Shen Qi assured him, "Yes, I have never thought of taking two women as concubines. You are the only one in my life."
Xiao Li smiled and continued, "After marriage, you can't restrict my freedom. I can't be like a young lady confined to her home, never leaving the house. The world is vast, and if possible, I want to go and see it."
