Xie Xin looked up at Wang Mu, her voice casual: "Why not? It's just a wedding, what's Uncle afraid of?"
Looking at Xie Xin's relaxed and natural expression, Wang Mu somewhat disapproved.
"I'm worried it will damage your reputation and affect you..."
Xie Xin scoffed, interrupting Wang Mu: "If I wanted to, I could gouge out the eyes of anyone who even glanced at me. Do you think I'd be afraid of their gossip or belittling of me?"
Wang Mu fell completely silent.
He forgot that the little girl in front of him was no longer the little girl who would rush into his arms, crying and wailing in pain.
Now that she holds great power, she certainly doesn't need to care about what others think of her.
Xie Xin changed the subject: "I've already had someone send the wedding procession details to my uncle tomorrow. He should have seen them by now, right? I wonder what his thoughts are?"
Wang Mu frowned slightly as he recalled the procedures he had read, and finally said, "According to the procedures, I will be living in the Princess's residence from now on?"
Xie Xin nodded: "Is there something wrong? My uncle doesn't have a mansion in the capital. Last year, they were going to reward him with one, but he refused and exchanged his military merits for other rewards. He can't go back to the Wang family either. Does my uncle have any other place to go?"
Wang Mu: ...
No, there isn't.

The next day, when Xie Xin was about to go out to greet the bride, he saw a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old standing outside the door.
The young boy was dressed in plain white clothes, his hair casually tied up.
A gentle breeze blew by, causing his clothes and hair to flutter in the wind, giving him a graceful and ethereal appearance.
To have such good looks in her teens, she'll surely be even more remarkable when she grows up.
Xie Xin recognized the boy at a glance.
"Yuqing?" she asked.
The boy bowed to Xie Xin and said, "Auntie!"
Xie Xin was overjoyed and immediately invited the young man into the mansion.
The two entered the main hall. Xie Xin dismissed everyone else before turning to Xie Yuqing and asking, "Where are your father and mother? Is your mother alright?"
"On the Southeast Immortal Island, that island can withstand backlash, so Mother is unharmed!" Xie Yuqing said respectfully. "Mother sent me to ask Aunt if she knows General Wang's true identity?"
Xie Xin was silent for a moment, then replied, "Of course I know!"
Xie Yuqing nodded: "Mother said that if Aunt knew, she would have no objection to this marriage!"
Xie Xin suddenly smiled: "I still need to go to pick up the bride. Since you're here, why don't you stay for a while before you leave? Alan misses you very much!"
"Okay!" Xie Yuqing immediately agreed, "Auntie, you go ahead with your work, I'll go check on Alan!"

Xie Xin led the wedding procession to the post station where Wang Mu was staying.
After that, the two rode side by side back to the Princess's residence.
From the time Yun Chuwei married without wearing a veil, the custom of allowing women to ride horses through the streets on their wedding day gradually took hold in the Great Chu.
Now the two of them ride horses through the streets, and no one finds anything wrong with it.
The people on the street looked on with blessings, as well as amazement and envy.
Having held a high position for many years, Xie Xin is already able to calmly face any gaze.
Wang Mu, on the other hand, seemed a little uncomfortable.
After all, it's a bit odd to parade through the streets with your niece in a wedding dress.
Xie Xin glanced at Wang Mu, lowered her voice, and chuckled, "Is Uncle shy?"
That spirited and unrestrained young general actually had moments of shyness.
Xie Xin simply found it amusing.
Wang Mu calmed himself down, smiled, and said nothing.
He can't be outdone by a little crybaby.
Although this little crybaby has grown up.
During the subsequent wedding ceremony, entering the bridal chamber, and drinking the nuptial wine, Wang Mu showed no timidity.
He felt even more relaxed after Xie Xin left the bridal chamber.
After taking a bath and changing his clothes, he planned to go to bed.
To his surprise, Xie Xin, dressed in her pajamas, barged in as soon as he lay down.
They even pounced on him.
Wang Mu was caught off guard and was pinned down on the bed by Xie Xin.
He whispered, "Xin'er, what are you doing? I'm your uncle!"
Xie Xin's eyes were slightly hazy with intoxication, but his posture remained arrogant.
"Who do you think you are, my uncle? You're just someone who has my uncle's memories."
Wang Mu: ...
"Besides, my mother is not my maternal grandfather's biological daughter at all. Calling you 'little uncle' is an honor, understand? Your elder brother calling you 'little uncle' is also an honor, you know? Your only real nephew is that idiot Xie Sheng."
Wang Mu: ...
How does this crybaby know everything?
As Xie Xin spoke, she touched Wang Mu's cheek, her eyes becoming somewhat dreamy.
"Uncle, you're so handsome. You were handsome before, and you still are. Before, like my brother, I wanted you to be my one and only uncle. But now I'm different. Now all I want is to sleep with you!"
Wang Mu: ...
