Rebirth: Missing the Beloved - C95
Many of the betrothal gifts of the Duke of Xiao’s estate had turned into a chat after dinner with the citizens of the Royal City. When the later generations talked about this matter, they were filled with admiration.
Of course, this was all fabricated by the future generations of commoners. Their true appearances were only so-so, just slightly worse than the rumors.
The red carpet covered a hundred meters from the Du Residence to the Duke of Xiao’s residence. This momentum was not small at all!
Mu Lingshao, dressed in a red robe, was riding a horse with a radiant face. He cupped his fist to the left and to the right, and his face was filled with unconcealable joy.
The band played it loud and sonorous, as if it was going to shatter half the sky.
At this moment, the two beautiful ladies of the Du residence were obediently waiting at the entrance. When Du Ruanyu heard this voice, she thought it was Mu Yufeng’s wedding procession. She arrogantly said, “Elder sister, this is a royal wedding. The lineup is slightly different.”
She knew that Mu Yufeng was not favoured nor had any money, and in her previous life, when the two of them got married, it was to save a province’s worth of money. In the end, the Du Residence felt that it was too shameful to spend that much, so it was a bit more respectable. However, how could he ruin Du Ruyu’s mood at this time?
“What little sister says is true. In the end, the imperial family cannot compare. I wish little sister and the Sixth Prince love and love for a hundred years.”
It was rare for Du Mu Zhou to say something like that, so Du Ruanyu was also happy. She did not continue to push Du Mu Zhou.
Very soon, Mu Lingshao’s wedding procession arrived. Hearing the voice, Du Ruanyu said excitedly, “Elder sister, little sister …. I’ll be going out before you! ”
Du Ruyu couldn’t hide the happiness in her voice. However, in the next moment, she slapped her face.
“Eldest Miss, quickly prepare yourself. The wedding procession of the Duke of Xiao’s estate has arrived.” The butler moved closer to Du Mu Zhou’s ear, reminding her.
Coincidentally, this voice wasn’t loud and was clearly heard by Du Ruanyu. Under the red veil, her face turned green from anger.
“I’m sorry little sister, it seems like big sister should go out first. That’s right, I heard that the Sixth Prince’s wedding procession is rather shabby. When that time comes, little sister shouldn’t dislike it.” Du Mu Zhou said with a smile.
Du Ruyu was truly unrelenting in her anger, but she couldn’t vent it out either. This was what made people angry, but Du Mu Zhou was no longer going to care about her.
Mu Lingshao got off the horse, and he knew that the one beside Jian Jia was his wooden boat.
He walked over slowly, trying to appear calm. He took Du Mu Zhou’s hand and gently switched it with hers.
“Let’s go.”
Du Mu Zhou didn’t say anything. He had nothing to say to the people of the Du Residence, so he only spoke to Mu Ling Shao … She would say what she needed to say later, and now all she had to do was put her hand in his.
“Farewell father-in-law, I will take good care of the wooden boat. Please rest assured.” Before Mu Ling Shao left, he solemnly promised Du Zhong that he was Du Mu Zhou’s father after all. No matter what, the etiquette he should show was not lacking.
“Go.”
Mu Lingshao put Du Mu Zhou into the bridal sedan and waited for him to mount the horse before the wedding procession left.
Not long after Mu Ling Shao left, Mu Yufeng’s wedding procession arrived. It was just that the lineup was too small, so no sound could be heard. Compared to the Duke of Xiao’s estate, it was far worse.
When Mu Yufeng held onto Du Ruanyu’s hand, Du Ruanyu angrily spoke in a low voice, “Why have you taken so long and you can’t even hear the sound of the gongs and drums. Can’t you make me look like Du Mu Zhou just because I’m marrying once in my life?”
Mu Yufeng’s face stiffened when he heard what Du Ruanyu said. What did she mean? Did this mean that a prince like him couldn’t compare to a prince like you? But now in the Du Residence, he couldn’t get angry. He could only secretly remember in his heart: Du Ruanyu looks down on him!
Mu Ling Shao’s wedding procession was grand and majestic. Along the way, he was sending sweets to the common people, who were infected by the joyous atmosphere and started cheering one after another. With the sound of the drums and the gongs, it was quite a joyous song.
In the bridal sedan, Du Mu Zhou secretly lifted his headscarf and opened a slit. He saw many people cheering in joy, and a few children were shouting for sugar in front of them. When Du Mu Zhou saw this, he couldn’t help but laugh.
“Miss, please quickly put on your headscarf, this won’t do.” Seeing this, Jian Jia quickly stopped Du Mu Zhou.
Du Mu Zhou also knew the rules, so he could only withdraw. In fact, she just wanted to see what Mu Ling Shao looked like right now. He was wearing a red robe and was definitely going to be breathtaking.
As he thought of this, Du Mu Zhou was actually a little jealous. Why would a grown man have such good skin?
She thought that she would arrive at the Duke of Xiao’s estate.
The gongs and drums stopped. Mu Lingshao dismounted and walked in front of the bridal sedan. He said, “Mu Zhou, we’ve arrived. Give me your hand.”
Du Mu Zhou adjusted his state of mind. This was her second time marrying someone, and the feeling he gave off was indeed very different. At this moment, her palms were covered in sweat.
It was likely that Mu Lingshao had also felt her presence, so he held her hand and said, “Mu Zhou, don’t worry. Second Uncle is here, so you don’t need to see your elders. Relax.”
It was true that the popularity of the manor had lessened by a bit, but there was a voice full of blessings along the way. Just from the voice alone, it sounded like the same person was pretending to be the same person.
After Jian Jia carried Du Mu Zhou through the brazier, she was about to bow down to heaven and earth.
“I bow to the heavens and the earth.”
“Second bow to the hall.”
“Husband and wife bow to each other.”
Time seemed to have slowed to an exceptionally slow pace by the third bow. Mu Ling Shao thought that the person in front of him had finally become the person beside him … However, Du Mu Zhou was thinking, now that she was with Mu Ling Shao, she finally had someone close to her.
Thinking about how he finally had someone to rely on after so many years, his eyes reddened.
“Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute. Why don’t we first try the wooden boat’s alcohol tolerance after sending it to the bridal room?”
Xiao Qing Qing did not look like he was going to be serious, but after hearing what he said, a lot of people started to echo him. Mu Lingshao glared at them and said, “Don’t be rash, you haven’t even taken off your headscarf. Jian Jia, bring Madam to her room.”
After giving out the instructions, he turned around and said to Xiao Qing Qing, “You only know how to punish me. If I don’t get drunk today, my name isn’t Mu Ling Shao.”
“Brother Mu, I see. It’s better if you don’t get drunk.” What a great idea!
Then… Another match …
Compared to the fewer people in the Duke of Xiao’s mansion, there were a lot of people in the Sixth Prince’s mansion. Presumably, all of the officials who didn’t want to go to the Duke of Xiao’s mansion had already arrived here.
“Sixth Prince. Congratulations, you finally got the beauty. ”
“That’s right, that’s right. A talented beauty, that’s really a good saying.”
Mu Yufeng’s side was quite lively, but unfortunately, not one of them was sincere.
