Xiao Wei began to hesitate. She doubted the rumors that Zeng Yu had been injured somewhere were true. Although she admired power, she didn't want her only daughter to live a life of widowhood, so her attitude was somewhat evasive.
The Zeng family, however, offered a condition: if Wu Yiyu agreed to marry, they would request the title of Princess for her, allowing her to inherit Wu Xiaohe's power as both a Princess and the legitimate daughter of the Wu family. Zeng Yu would then help Xiao Wei and Wu Yiyu secure their positions and drive the Di family out of Ningxia.
If these conditions weren't enough to convince Xiao Wei to sacrifice her daughter's marriage, the Zeng family's subsequent gift of the seal of the General's Mansion and Zeng Yu's painstakingly gathered 5,000 troops as a betrothal gift to Xiao Wei for Wu Yiyu's handover shook Xiao Wei. The fact that 5,000 troops were so casually given to her also indirectly demonstrated the Zeng family's current strength and Zeng Yu's abilities.
Xiao Wei personally visited the Zeng family, bringing a doctor with her. She wanted to see her future son-in-law, hoping to avoid the unlucky wedding date if he wasn't well enough. It's unclear how the Zeng family manipulated Zeng Kui, but the doctor confirmed he was fine and could get married in early August.
So the wedding date of Wu Yiyu and Zeng Kui was set.
When Wu Yiyu found out, she made a big fuss. Xiao Wei felt a little sorry for her daughter, so she proposed to the Zeng family that if Wu Yiyu wanted to move back to her parents' home after getting married, the Zeng family should not stop her.
Zeng Yu sneered in his heart, but looked satisfied on the surface.
At this moment, someone secretly found Wu Yiyu.
This person said that he was the brother of a gangster who had been hired by Wu Yiyu to go to Yanbei, and came to ask Wu Yiyu for money. They heard the brother who had been killed by the Zeng family say that Miss Wu wanted to hire someone to castrate Zeng Kui, and that Zeng Kui would be castrated when he secretly went to Yanbei. Wu Yiyu needed to give them 10,000 taels of silver according to the rumor.
This person spoke with great certainty, even bringing the thing that had been chopped off from Zeng Kui to Wu Yiyu, and pointed out that there was a big mole under Zeng Kui's crotch near the base of his legs.
Because the Zeng family suppressed the news, and neither the Lei family nor the Yanbei Palace publicly confirmed Zeng Kui's involvement, the rumor of Zeng Kui becoming a eunuch remained a mere rumor, one few believed. The person who came to see Wu Yiyu explained that their brothers had been killed or on the run, and were constantly being hunted by the Zeng family, daring not to come to Ningxia. Even for him, meeting Wu Yiyu was extremely difficult, so outsiders were unaware of the true nature of the matter.
Wu Yiyu felt disgusted when she saw the bloody mess that the man had put away in an ice box. It was said to be Zeng Kui's penis, but she also suspected that something was wrong with Zeng Kui.
But in the end, Wu Yiyu chose to hold back for the time being. In order to completely deter those who were plotting against her, she came up with a very vicious idea under the deliberate instigation of some people.
So Xiao Wei discovered that Wu Yiyu, who had been making a fuss about the marriage, suddenly calmed down and even stopped resisting her marriage with Zeng Kui.
Xiao Wei was very pleased that her daughter had grown up and figured things out, and she even relaxed her supervision of her. Fortunately, Wu Yiyu did not cause any trouble until the wedding date approached.
