Under the dim light, Murong Yu's face was ashen, as if he was ready to attack.
He also did not know why he had come over. Was it because of the wind? Was it because of the coldness Yun Sheng had shown to the crown prince during the day? He was just feeling unsettled, so he casually strolled around. He never thought that he would come to this side courtyard and actually see such a good show. He could only feel the fury in his heart boiling uncontrollably.
Baili Yu wasn't nervous. When he saw Murong Yu, he straightened his back even more.
Yue'er likes me, and marrying you is a mistake. Moreover, the emperor has chosen the wrong Lovers List, not to mention that you have not treated her well at all. Look at where you have made her live, and if you don't cherish her, then you should return her to me.
Yun Sheng felt somewhat helpless. She did not understand why Murong Yu was so furious. Perhaps, it was still that damned question of identity.
Before she could even explain, Murong Yu had already told her coldly: "This is the truth? I thought you were really magnanimous. For the sake of This King, it turns out that you already have someone you like. "
"I …" Once Yun Sheng tightened his grip, he did not know what to say. She suddenly felt that her fate was extremely tragic. She was not good at handling situations like this, so why did she feel like she was in the wrong when facing Murong Yu? How annoying!
"Yue'er and I are childhood sweethearts. We have always been mutual lovers. It would be best for you to divorce her …" He did not care whether Yue'er was married or not. He only wanted to bring Yue'er away. Because of his mother's interference, he hesitated for a long time before making up his mind. He could not do without Yue'er.
"Humph!" Murong Yu glanced coldly at Baili Yu and ignored him. He then continued to speak coldly to Yun Shengyue, "Don't forget the agreement you made. It's impossible to divorce you now, and you can forget about eloping with him. Otherwise, the one who will suffer will not be your Yun Family!"
"I …" "I will abide by the agreement." Of course she knew the seriousness of it.
"That's great, This King won't mind today's matters. If This King sees this person again, don't blame This King for being impolite and taking care of yourself. You're still working as an imperial concubine now, so don't put on a green hat for This King." Murong Yu's tone was as cold as ice. After saying those words, he turned around and left in a rage. He believed that Yun Shengyue was a smart person and he could not guarantee that he would do anything if he stayed.
"Yue Er, don't worry about him. Follow me!" "The Yun Family doesn't owe you anything. Since we've returned to Jiangnan, it's none of Murong Yu's business." He knew that he still had a lot of things to do, but Yue'er's absence made him restless. Once he returned to Jiangnan, what could Murong Yu do to him?
It was said that the people did not fight with officials. Although the Baili family was large, it was not good to offend the imperial family. If she were to leave just like that, the impact would be too great. She could not care less about the Yun Family, but what would Yun Chengling do to her mother after being affected? Her mother was already very sick, and if she found out, her life would be even worse. Furthermore, how could Baili Yu's mother accept a married woman who ran off with someone like her?
The husband's family was the emperor, and it was also a marriage bestowed by the emperor. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was impossible. Neither he nor Baili Yu could bear the responsibility.
"I can't go with you now." She took a step back.
"Why? Murong Yu has always been bad to you and now that he knows about our matters, he will definitely treat you better. Baili Yu said anxiously.
Baili Yu didn't know that she and Murong Yu didn't have any interaction at all. She only needed to act the role of the diligent imperial concubine, and even though she really wanted to leave here with Baili Yu, she couldn't be too impulsive. It would be better if she acted according to the agreement, because in two years' time, no one would pay attention to her marriage with the diligent king.
"Brother Yu, can you wait for me for two years?"
"Master, I really can't bear to see our Yinglan marry so far away." Inside the Wei Residence, Madame Li's eyes were swollen from crying.
Wei Yinglan had happily married, she married the person she liked, full of joy and longing, but Madame Li was truly reluctant. Her precious daughter had never left her side since she was young. She had thought that with the wealth of the general's family, she would be able to find a son to marry in Jincheng, but who knew she would marry into Jiangnan. Although Jiangnan had always been rich, it was still too far away from Jincheng. How long would it take for them to see each other again?
"Madam, don't cry anymore." Wei Cheng comforted her. He had only married this lady in his entire life and their relationship was even stronger than Jin Jian's. He was really reluctant to see her cry, but there were some things that were not suitable for him to say right now.
He didn't approve of this marriage at first. With such a daughter, how could he bear to marry into Jiangnan? How could he bear to marry into a merchant's family? However, his daughter was determined to marry him, even if it meant seeking death, he had no choice but to agree.
However, Baili Yu did not personally come to the mansion to escort the bride. Instead, he only sent a housekeeper to bring a wedding procession, causing the guests in the room to burst into an uproar. Originally, he was extremely angry, but the butler invited him to find a quiet place, and after handing him a letter, he could no longer hold back his anger and smile.
"The marriage of Wei Qing's daughter and my son could be said to be a match made in heaven. The heavens have bestowed upon me, and the day of my return to the palace is approaching. Do you wish to welcome me personally, Wei Qing?" The short sentence in the letter had already surprised him, but the signature was a phoenix imprint, causing his expression to change even more.
In the past, when the Queen had been ill for half a year, Imperial Concubine Lian had presided over the affairs of the Imperial Palace, and Imperial Concubine Lian had temporarily taken charge of the Phoenix Seal. After the Everlasting Blessed Palace's fire, she had not seen Imperial Concubine Lian and Second Prince's corpses, and even the Phoenix Seal had not been found out.
Everyone only speculated that Imperial Concubine Lian and the Second Prince might still be alive, and that there might have been people who had not given up on searching, but had not found anything. Only after ten years had passed did people gradually forget about it, but now the Phoenix Seal had appeared. He had seen that young man before when he proposed marriage. His temperament was indeed extraordinary. That day, he had wondered why a merchant's son would have such an innate noble aura. He believed that his identity shouldn't be wrong.
If the other party was not so sure, how could he have chosen to send this letter on the day of his marriage? Presumably, it was to give him a choice, he could choose to not believe this letter and not marry his daughter. If he chose to believe this letter, then his position on the Crown Prince's side would change.
That butler stood calmly by the side, waiting for him to express his stance. If he was neither servile nor overbearing, how could he choose? Since it was already the day of his marriage, it was too late for him to break off the engagement. Moreover, his daughter was determined to marry him, so he had no other choice but to agree.
He did not know what Qian Yulian was planning. It had been ten years, and since she had chosen to reveal her identity, she must have prepared a lot of chips for it. The military talisman in Wei Cheng's hands was also something that she valued.
He had only one daughter in his life, so naturally he had to give her the best. After thinking for a long time, he finally made a decision and said to the butler, "Please return to your family. I, Wei, will await the day when my daughter returns to peace."
"Master, please say something. When will I be able to see Lan'er again? Will her husband allow her to occasionally come back to visit us?" Madame Wei pushed her silent husband and asked.
Wei Cheng raised his head and said with certainty, "Yes, ma'am. They will be back soon."
"Young master, let's go!" "If you don't leave now, you won't be able to catch up with the wedding procession. It's agreed that you will personally greet the bride at the southern shore of Qi River." Wei Long was dressed in grey, and there was a trace of anxiety on his flat face.
Originally, the Madam wanted him to personally come to the Wei Mansion to escort the bride. However, the young mistress had changed her mind and told Wei Hu that he would be greeting the bride at the southern bank of the Qi River. Back then, he had saved the mother and daughter, but who would have thought that it would be the prime minister's concubine and daughter. Ignoring her identity, the girl, Sheng Yue, and the young master were indeed a perfect match for each other.
This was truly a bad fate. So what if the young master hadn't given up yet? Was he really going to fight with his own blood brother for the woman? He had secretly followed the young master last night as well. The young master's safety was of utmost importance, so how could he let his guard down? Thankfully, Miss Sheng Yue had not agreed to leave with the young master.
"Young master …" Wei Long reminded him again.
He would return as soon as possible, and his Yue'er would wait for him. Once that damned agreement was concluded, his Yue'er would still belong to him, and he hoped that Murong Yu would never be able to see her again.
The matter of the meeting with Baili Yu should have made Murong Yu very angry. In any case, she did not see him again, and the security around the side yard was even stronger, so there was no need for that. Baili Yu had already promised her that he would return to the Wind City, so she would not go out by herself.
Luckily, Baili Yu hadn't changed his mind. When he thought of how he was going to take her away, she felt reassured. They would meet again after she dissolved her engagement with Murong Yu. So what if she became his concubine? It was enough that he loved her.
With a sense of relief, Yun Sheng decided to live in the side courtyard. He could walk around freely in the manor. This palace wasn't small either. Reading books, admiring flowers, feeding fish, embroidering. She and Cui'er lived a peaceful life, even though Cui'er would occasionally nag at her.
A month passed quickly, and the spring of Jincheng finally came unsteadily. The willow trees were lush and verdant, and the spring flowers were stamping on the floor. Their clothes had shrunk, and their entire bodies seemed to have become light and graceful.
"Miss, the roses in the garden are already blooming. With such a good weather, let's go out for a walk and pick some flowers." As long as there was sunlight, Cui Er would not be able to sit still.
Yun Sheng put down his embroidery and stretched his waist as he said, "Alright, let's go out for a walk. After sitting for half a day, my waist feels sore."
She changed into a light pink dress, tied up with an exquisite belt embroidered with rose flowers, and combed her hair in a simple half-woman style. With a lot of long hair hanging by her side, she looked extremely charming, and her sixteenth birthday passed quietly, no one knew, and she did not mention it.
Rose was Shengyue's mother's favorite flower. Previously, there weren't many headdress pieces, but her mother's favorite flower or two was a beautiful rose or two, and she smiled and said that her daughter was even prettier than the rose.
With this thought in mind, Yun Sheng plucked a pair of pink roses that connected the branches and stuck them into his bun.
"Ah, so beautiful! This flower really suits young miss. " Yun Sheng picked another flower to help her put it on. Immediately, the little girl went to pick the flowers with great joy.
"Sister's mood is so good!"
Cui Er turned around and saw Chen Ju`er walking over with a fat cat with tiger spots in her arms.
