Chapter 430 - Five days later
On the second day, maternal grandma changed from his usual ordinary attire to exquisite clothes. It seemed like he had made preparations for today's betrothal.
After seeing maternal grandma, Miss Mingyue knew that he had no other choice. He could not help but swallow the words that were about to leave his mouth.
"Are you ready? Today is an important day, so why are you wearing this outfit?" maternal grandma frowned in dissatisfaction when he saw the clothes on Lady Mingyue.
"maternal grandma is right, I will go change it now." Lady Mingyue did not dare to disobey and quickly changed his clothes.
Seeing the bright new moon, the maternal grandma laughed in satisfaction, "I am a very beautiful lady. I think that Dugu Ming has no reason to reject me."
Seeing that she was about to lose her chance to speak, Miss Mingyue became even more nervous. Her mind was filled with what Ling Xiao had told her last night.
"If you don't like it, then think of a way to delay it."
Gritting her teeth, Miss Mingyue raised her head and said, "maternal grandma, even if you want me to marry the City Leader, can you allow me to rest for a few days?"
"What do you mean?" Hearing that, maternal grandma's face immediately turned cold.
Lady Mingyue mustered up her courage to face maternal grandma's cold gaze and said, "Could it be that you are willing to watch your own lady get married out of fear? I don't have any relationship with that Dugu Ming, so I should get familiar with him first."
These words rendered maternal grandma speechless. After a moment of silence, he said: "I understand, but I must agree to it today. At most, I will allow for a later marriage."
With that, maternal grandma pushed open the door and walked out. Seeing that, Miss Mingyue sighed faintly and followed him out.
Unparalleled City, Main Hall.
Dugu Xingfeng sat on the seat of honor, looking at the incoming guests with a proud and aloof expression. Ling Xiao and the others all sat down, waiting for Dugu Xingfeng to speak.
"All of you here are my Unparalleled City's friends and companions, we are also on the same side. As for today, I have a good news for all of you to announce." A smile appeared on Dugu Feng's face.
Dugu Ming could not help but smile. From time to time, he would glance towards the seat not far away where Lady Mingyue was seated.
Those eyes were full of greed, as if Lady Mingyue was already his.
Ling Xiao frowned slightly. He thought, you are not the kind of person that Miss Mingyue likes. I'll let you be proud for a while, I'll take your life myself.
"Master City Leader, you brought us all here today, and we thought that something big had happened. We did not expect that it would be such a good thing, please speak, we are all waiting." An ally of the Unparalleled City cupped her fists and said.
When the others heard this, they also began to cheer him on.
"Haha, please be patient, please be patient." Dugu Feng laughed out loud as he stroked his beard. Then, he clapped his hands, and one by one, servants came walking in, each of them carrying a box filled with dishes.
Seeing this, everyone immediately understood that Dugu Feng was actually going to propose marriage.
After which, the crowd took a glance at the scene and realized that it was only the young lady, Brightmoon, who understood.
When all the servants had gathered with the betrothal gifts, they discovered that there were so many people that the huge door was blocked. They couldn't even see the light outside.
Everyone could not help but sigh at Unparalleled City's rich and imposing manner, and they all became envious of him. How could they not have such a beautiful girl?
When maternal grandma saw this scene, he couldn't help but grin from the happiness. Dugu Xingfeng had given them so many things as a betrothal gift, it seemed like he had attached great importance to this matter as well.
"Hehe, I believe everyone has guessed it. That's right, my son has always liked Miss Mingyue and has always been looking for me, saying that he wants to marry Miss Mingyue. So today, I brought my son to formally propose to Miss Mingyue!" Dugu Feng stood up from his chair and announced loudly to the crowd.
Everyone immediately stood up to congratulate him after hearing what he said. In their eyes, this was all due to Lady Mingyue's good fortune. There was no reason for them to reject her.
maternal grandma naturally represented Miss Mingyue, and said happily: "To be able to be chosen by City Leader, is naturally my Lady's fortune. Then, I hope that Lord City Leader can see how the time of the marriage will be decided."
Facing this rare opportunity, maternal grandma wished that he could immediately settle this matter.
When the crowd saw this, their eyes were all red with envy, as they inwardly sighed in their hearts about how they did not have such good luck.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao could not help but reveal a disdainful expression, truly a group of snobbish eyes.
Duan Lang followed beside Ling Xiao and said in a low voice: "If nothing unexpected happens, the thing that we want should appear."
Ling Xiao heard and nodded, "Mn, before we obtain this, we still need to continue hiding, we cannot act rashly."
"Yes sir!"
The Dugu Family let out two loud laughs, and said: "I never thought that maternal grandma would be so anxious, it seems like he's even satisfied with my son, very good, very good, but this is related to the happiness of the two young people, if we were to decide on this, wouldn't it be too selfish?"
After that, Dugu Fang looked at Lady Mingyue and asked, "Lady Mingyue, what do you think?"
Seeing that Lady Mingyue did not say anything, Dugu Ming anxiously said, "Father, Lady Mingyue must be too shy not to speak. The so-called 'choice of day is not as good as challenge'. Why not just today?"
Hearing that, maternal grandma immediately agreed: "That's right, how about today?"
Hearing that, Miss Mingyue's face became ugly, and then she secretly looked up at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao nodded slightly, allowing him to have the courage to express his thoughts.
Thinking about her happiness, Lady Mingyue took a deep breath and finally spoke.
"Lord City Leader, Lord Young Lord, Brightmoon is not feeling well these days. She needs to rest for a few more days in order to not ruin the mood of the two lords."
When these words were spoken, the entire hall immediately quietened down. maternal grandma's complexion turned slightly cold, but thinking that this was something a woman could not avoid, he had nothing to say.
Hearing that, Dugu Fang frowned, then nodded his head: "Since it's like this, then we can't force it. How about this, five days later, Unparalleled City, I will set up a banquet to invite everyone!"
Hearing this, maternal grandma's face eased up. She was afraid that Mingyue's words would make Dugu party unhappy.
The rest of the people also started to applaud and cheer, one by one, they flattered the Dugu side, and the crowd became lively again. They were all people that shamelessly wanted to befriend Unparalleled City.
"Good, now that the announcement is done, let's all sit down and eat. It's a good day, let's eat and drink to our heart's content!" After Dugu Feng said this, he raised his wine cup and laughed loudly, "To Unparalleled City, raise your goblet!"
"For the Unparalleled City!" Everyone hurriedly raised their wine glasses and echoed loudly.
