Ye Zi’an shook his head and stepped forward to embrace her, "Let’s put the Eldest’s matter aside for now. Prepare so things first. We’ll go to the Mu Residence tomorrow to discuss the marriage."
"Mm, you’re right. I’ll get ready now." Yang Chuxia mumbled, "Why did this child suddenly want to advance the marriage?"
Ye Zi’an naturally knew the reason. His son’s intent to protect his wife ant he should not tell his wife, otherwise it would upset her again.
The next morning, Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an went to the Mu Residence with a pile of gifts.
When Mu Shaoling heard they were coming to discuss the wedding date, he was furious and cursed, saying Ye Haoyang was taking advantage of soone in a vulnerable ti with impure intentions. Advancing the wedding now would let him gain a reputation for being deeply affectionate and faithful to Hua’en. How wishful of him.
But the Commandery Princess Dongyang agreed, so it was useless even if he disagreed.
Thus, Yang Chuxia happily left the Mu Residence and started bustling around Prince An’s Mansion with wedding preparations.
Inviting guests, preparing various gifts, and so on...
In a courtyard sowhere in the Capital City, a woman in white sat sipping fragrant tea, while a maid beside her plucked at a lute.
"Master, the Mu and Ye Families have set the wedding date for the twentieth of next month."
"Is that so?" The woman in white curled her lips, "I didn’t expect there to be no cancellation. I thought a family like the Ye Family would have high demands for a daughter-in-law and wouldn’t want soone with such a bad reputation. Such a waste of my planning."
Yes, the rumors in the Capital City about Mu Huarong killing her sister were spread by her. She just didn’t want the Mu Family to have it too easy, whether it was the n or the won, she didn’t want them to have a good ti.
"What should we do next, Master?"
"Why the rush? On the wedding day, it will be crowded with many eyes, so it will be easy for you all to mix in. Besides, aren’t the Mu sisters fighting over a man quite lively? Anyway, both have lost face, who knows who is who then?"
The person beside her understood her intentions, and at the ti, planned on making Mu Huarong take Mu Hua’en’s place in the marriage.
After a pause, they heard the woman in white say, "At that ti, use so drugs to have one in the bridal chamber of the Ye Residence, and another in a beggar’s den outside the city. By the ti morning tea is served, let the news spread throughout the Capital City. We’ll just sit back and watch this great play."
By then, the sisters’ infighting would surely escalate.
No matter how stable the alliance between the Mu and Ye Families was, it would likely be affected by such an incident.
Without the alliance, the Mu Family’s montum would weaken even more. Later, if she finds a way to undermine the Mu Family’s standing with the Emperor, uprooting the Mu Family entirely will just be a matter of ti.
The wedding date was set, and Ye Haoyang was overjoyed.
There was only one thing he wasn’t satisfied with, which was that the two couldn’t see each other before the wedding ceremony.
How could that be acceptable? Already he didn’t have much ti with his little wife, and now even when both were in the Capital City with no previous worries, they still couldn’t et.
So that night, Ye Haoyang sneaked in like a flower thief.
"Brother Ye Er?" Mu Hua’en thought she was seeing things.
"It’s ."
"Why are you here?"
Mu Hua’en was delighted but also sowhat conflicted because her father had told her to never et Ye Haoyang before the wedding, or it would lead to unhappiness.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly pushed Ye Haoyang towards the door, "Brother Ye Er, you need to leave quickly!" But how could Mu Hua’en push him away?
Ye Haoyang was not pleased at this mont. He missed his little wife, even if it ant not sleeping, he had to co to see her. Yet he was pushed to leave without even speaking, "You stubborn girl, you don’t want to see ?"
