Meanwhile, on the night Su married into the Yun family, she didn't even take off her wedding dress. She knelt down beside the Marquis of Yun and quietly took his hand.
For some reason, when he recalled the day Zhou Shi mentioned Nuan Nuan in Yun Hou's ear, Yun Hou's fingers would twitch.
If it was to avoid suspicion, she wouldn't dare to think in that direction at all.
But now that her marriage to him is a done deal, a certain kind of wishful thinking has begun to grow in her heart.
Naturally, she also hoped that Yunhou would wake up, so before she drifted off to sleep, she gently called out in Yunhou's ear, "Cousin, it's me, Nuannuan. Please wake up soon."
She slept peacefully that night, as if all the regrets, pain, and sorrow of the past had vanished.
The next morning, when she woke up, she felt that her palms were sweaty.
Her hand was being held tightly.
She was startled and suddenly opened her eyes, raising her head to see her cousin's familiar yet unfamiliar eyes staring at her.
She was overjoyed. "Cousin, you're awake?!"
Yun Yue reached out and gently touched her cheek, his expression stunned. He whispered, "Am I dreaming? Nuan Nuan, why did I see you wearing a wedding dress and marrying me?"
Su felt a pang of pain in her heart. Could it be that her eldest cousin had been having this dream all these years?
Seeing her staring blankly at him, Yun Yue gave a bitter smile. "I was indeed dreaming. But it's alright, I'm probably going to die anyway. To have this dream before I die, fulfilling my wish, is worth it."
After saying that, he tried to withdraw his hand.
How could Su not understand his feelings? She immediately grasped his hand, pressed it against her cheek, and tears fell silently. "Big Cousin, you're not dreaming. You're awake! It's so good that you're awake!"
As soon as Yun Yue stopped, he felt a sharp pain all over his body, and his mind suddenly cleared. "What happened?"
Is he dreaming?
With tears in her eyes and a smile on her face, Ms. Su told him everything that had happened during this period.
Finally, wiping away her tears, she smiled and said, "I really made the right choice in marrying him to bring him good luck. Now that my cousin has woken up, I'll go tell my aunt right away."
After saying that, she got up and rushed out.
Yun Yue was shocked on the spot and could not process what he had just heard for a long time.
What is meant by "marrying for good luck"? What is meant by "divorce"? Why did Zhou's wife not live long?
What on earth is going on here?
After a long while, he roared, "Absurd! Utterly absurd!"
Upon hearing the sound, the servants outside were all overjoyed. "Oh my, the Marquis is awake! The Marquis is really awake! The Marquis's wife really made the right choice marrying into the family to bring good fortune!"
Marquis Yun was immediately stunned. The Marquis's wife they were talking about, was it Nuan Nuan?
Madam Yun soon received news from Madam Su and happily brought over little Youran, who was sleeping in the next courtyard.
After delivering the good news to Old Madam Yun, Madam Su was surprised to find that she was still wearing her bright red wedding dress. Not wanting to go back to the main courtyard, she stamped her feet and ran back to the small courtyard where she had been staying temporarily in the Yun residence to change.
In the main bedroom, when Marquis Yun saw his mother, who was beaming with joy, he rose to pay his respects.
Madam Yun quickly stopped him, "Lie down quickly, no need for formalities. It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake!"
Lord Yun repeatedly apologized, "It is your unfilial son who has implicated my mother!"
Madam Yun pushed Xiao Youran in front of him, "Quickly, let your great-uncle take a look."
Yunhou stared blankly as she took out her wrist and began to take his pulse.
Who is he? Where is he? What is he doing?
Why was he being treated by a five-year-old toddler?
And who is this five-year-old toddler?
Why do her eyebrows look so similar to Nuan Nuan's?
Seeing his bewildered expression, Old Madam Yun explained, "This is Xiao Youran, our little lucky charm. Oh, no, she can't call you 'Big Uncle' anymore. Her mother married you, so she has to call you 'Father' now!"
Xiaoyouran: ￥￥@……%\\u0026
Uh... she's having trouble saying "Daddy" right now.
In her previous life, she called this Marquis "father," but he was her father-in-law!
Now, whenever I call him "Dad," I always think of this incident. How can I get rid of it?
Lord Yun remained completely bewildered.
He was shot by an arrow, fell into a coma, and not only did he get a new wife, but he also gained a daughter?
After Xiao Youran finally took the pulse and left the main courtyard to write a prescription, Marquis Yun hurriedly asked, "Mother, what happened to Zhou Shi?"
Madam Yun sighed, "Let her eat something first, then she can come and talk to you herself."
After informing her of the news, Su Yarong disappeared without a trace.
The entire Yun family was filled with joy.
Zhou, who was in a side courtyard, naturally found out as well, and hugged her daughter Yun Manwan, weeping with joy.
After Lord Yun had taken a bath and eaten some thin porridge to fill his stomach, he saw Lady Zhou walking weakly, supported by her eldest daughter, Yun Manwan.
Madam Zhou was about to curtsy when Marquis Yun quickly stopped her, saying, "Madam, there's no need for such formality. Wan'er, quickly help your mother sit down."
Seeing her father like this, Yun Manyan's eyes reddened again. After settling her mother in a chair, she quickly left.
Madam Zhou sighed, "My lord, as you can see, I am now halfway to the grave. Being able to arrange this grand wedding for you has fulfilled my wish. Now that you have woken up, I can die in peace. I hope you will not blame me for taking matters into my own hands."
Marquis Yun stood there with his mouth agape, unsure what to say for a long time, before finally asking, "What's wrong with your body?"
Zhou smiled bitterly, "It's my old headache problem. I always felt like there was something throbbing in my head, and I never thought it would actually be a brain ailment. Both Doctor Gu and the imperial physician examined me, and they originally predicted I wouldn't live more than three days. Thankfully, Xiao Youran was there, keeping me awake and holding on for so many days. I can finally die in peace, having been able to settle everything before I die..."
Having said that, she closed her eyes wearily, as if powerless, then suddenly opened them again, "My lord, my cousin Ya Rong has been incredibly kind to us. I willingly gave her the position of Lady of the Marquis. Please don't blame her, my lord, and... live out the rest of your lives with her."
After a moment of silence, Lord Yun asked, "When did you find out?"
Madam Zhou's face was full of relief, and she didn't hide anything. "I knew all along that you had a woman named Nuannuan in your heart. When the Marquis's mansion was raided last year, and the Ministry of Revenue returned the items, I checked them one by one. I found your box of letters, and that's when I learned that Nuannuan was actually my cousin from the Su family. But this is good, otherwise, if I hadn't known it was her, where would I have found a Nuannuan when the Abbot asked me to arrange a marriage to bring you good luck? The Abbot really is effective. This marriage to bring you good luck has been a happy one for everyone."
She couldn't help but punch her aching head with her fist, then weakly said, "My lord, I really don't have much time left. I've already signed the divorce papers; they're on your desk. My lord, please... sign them as soon as possible so that your marriage certificate with my cousin can be sent to the government office for filing. She's not a concubine; she's your lawfully wedded wife. However..."
