Old Madam Yun paused for a moment before speaking, "Thank you, Princess, for your concern. However, Qiuchen has just recovered, so we haven't considered her marriage yet."
Yun Qiuchen didn't have any serious illness, but she was deaf in her left ear. The Yun family had sought treatment from many doctors, but none of them had satisfactory results. Yun Qiuchen's condition made it easy for her to find a husband, but...
Yun Qiuchen suddenly spoke calmly, "Princess, I want to become a monk."
After these words were spoken, the expressions of Old Madam Yun and Madam Yun turned unhappy.
A woman like Yun Qiuchen had been the center of attention since birth. She had spent half her life striving to become the legal wife of a superior. How could she be willing to marry an ordinary man? If so, she might as well spend her life guarding the Buddha.
Old Madam Yun and Madam Yun were not happy to see Yun Qiuchen become a nun, but they knew Yun Qiuchen's personality well. This girl was too opinionated, and if they forced her to marry, the result would definitely not be what they wanted. So Yun Qiuchen's matter was delayed.
The princess wasn't surprised by Yun Qiuchen's words. She pondered and said, "You're still young, there's no need to rush into such a decision. The Dowager Consort will be returning to guard the old prince's mausoleum next year. If you don't want to stay home, you can go with her to keep her company. There's a nunnery nearby where you can listen to the Dharma when you're free. You can come back when you've figured things out, and no one will dare spread rumors this way."
When Old Lady Yun and Madam Yun heard this, they knew that Concubine Yun still had some sympathy for Yun Qiuchen, which was why she let Yun Qiuchen go with her to guard the old prince's tomb. This way, no one outside would dare to spread gossip about Yun Qiuchen, so they did not object.
Yun Qiuchen was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go."
The princess nodded and started talking about other things with Old Lady Yun.
Naturally, the princess did not have to sit at the wedding banquet from beginning to end. She only moved her chopsticks a few times, drank a few glasses of wine, and then stood up to return home. The eldest wife of the Yun family personally saw the princess out.
It was already late when the princess' carriage left the Yun Mansion. Since the other guests had not yet left their seats, the road was quiet.
However, the princess' carriage was stopped as soon as it came out of the alley where the Yun Mansion was located.
"Princess, it's Lord Mu who has arrived." Nanny Xin lifted the curtain and took a look, then said in a low voice.
Mu Hu came with a pair of men and horses. When he saw the princess's carriage stopped, he immediately got off his horse and walked quickly to the side of the princess's carriage to salute.
"I greet the princess."
The princess knew Mu Hu, and she asked gently through the curtain, "Why is Lord Mu here?"
Mu Hu took a few glances at the attendants brought by the princess. In addition to the maids and old women, the princess also brought a dozen guards with her. However, the two guards following at the back had their heads lowered, and their faces could not be seen clearly in the middle of the night.
