Chapter 469
The marriage of Huang Zhi and Mu Yunzhi is finally confirmed. Mu Yunzhi will return to her hometown soon to prepare for her marriage.
"What's wrong with Yunzhi?"
Liu Furan asked a question that no one could figure out. Huang Zhi was speechless several times and could only say as always, "Yunzhi is fine."
"If it's so good, why do you have second thoughts?"
Huang Zhi responded with a long sigh. Liu Furan wanted to go up and give him a few punches, but he was an elegant scholar with a fair face, so he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"Your elder brother has come to look for me several times, trying to find out why you wanted to cancel the engagement. Now the old lady can't stand it anymore and has called me over. I have been lying so shamelessly day after day that I am too ashamed to face anyone."
Until one day, the old lady of the Huang family fainted.
Huang Zhi knelt in front of the old lady's bed for a long time, unable to get up, until the old lady woke up faintly and shouted "what a curse!", which made Huang Zhi kowtow heavily.
"How could I raise such an irresponsible bastard like you! If you really want to give up Yunzhi, even if you marry a fairy, I will not recognize you at all!"
deny?
Huang Zhi dared not speak.
I heard my mother scolding me, "I won't let the child you have with her be included in the Huang family's genealogy or ancestral hall. Let everyone spurn you. I, an old woman, will watch you ignore the kindness of your clan parents in raising you and have an affair with a wild woman from outside!"
These words made Huang Zhi give up the idea of canceling the engagement.
The old mother almost choked from coughing. Huang Dalang, who usually didn't care about household chores or other people's business, was so angry that day that he slapped his third brother hard.
"Asshole! How dare you say that? If anything happens to my mother, I will search the entire capital to find that wild girl and tear her into pieces!"
Huang Zhi knocked his head hard and broke his forehead.
He replied, "I dare not."
When the news of the marriage proposal reached Mu Yunzhi's ears, she showed no joy at all. Zhulan cursed and looked at the girl with sad eyes, "Girl, cry if you want to."
The man I have been thinking about since childhood is now hiding a mysterious woman.
For the sake of that woman, he was going to ruin this marriage.
Zhulan felt sorry for the girl just thinking about this, but what could she do? Now that her cousin was on the list, and ranked first in the second class, he must have a bright future.
If the girl agrees to cancel the engagement, how can she marry a suitable man at the age of twenty?
"Zhulan, this is a happy event, there is no need to cry."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhulan's tears rolled down like a broken string, "I feel bad for you, young lady. I have never treated you badly, why are you so heartless?"
"Fortunately, my aunt was able to distinguish right from wrong, so my cousin never let me down."
Mu Yunzhi said calmly, her eyes no longer sparkling as before when she mentioned Huang Zhi. Instead, they became as dull as stagnant water in a dry well.
"Miss..., we still have a long time to live. If my cousin is still so stubborn, how are we going to live?"
Zhulan became more and more sad, thinking about the countless hardships the girl had suffered over the years, and felt that her true love was misplaced.
Mu Yunzhi closed her eyes and said softly after a long while, "In the backyard, my cousin can allow me to have a child, and I will take care of the child and live."
"girl--"
Zhulan cried uncontrollably and fell to her knees, holding the girl's knees. Her tears could not wash away the grievances she felt. In her tearful and confused eyes, she could not see the future for herself and the girl.
Mu Yunzhi lowered her head slightly, looking at Zhulan, who had grown up with her. She felt a thousand unspeakable pains in her heart. She helped Zhulan comb her hair and comforted her softly, "After we get married, I will also tell you about a good marriage. If you want to stay with me, you can be my companion daughter-in-law. If not, I will find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and let you and your husband live a good life there."
"What are you talking about, young lady? I have never thought of parting with you in my life. You are in the Huang family mansion... How can I feel at ease if I don't follow you?"
It’s not that I’m unfamiliar with the place, but it’s more worrying than this.
Mu Yunzhi smiled helplessly, her eyes misty, she sighed, "My cousin is eager to break off the engagement and marry me. I'm sure she's not from a small family, let alone the wild girl that my eldest cousin scolded. I originally thought that when I got married, my cousin would insist on marrying me, and he would find an auspicious day to carry me in a sedan chair. Unfortunately-"
The other party must be of extraordinary status, otherwise Huang Zhi would not have made such plans.
"Miss, let's not worry about it for now. Let's secure your marriage first. After you become the third young master's wife of this mansion, we can slowly make plans."
"Plot?"
Mu Yunzhi shook her head. She looked at the leisurely sun outside the window. A feeling of sadness surged up in her mind, but she then forced it down.
"I have a brother by my side, and this is how I will live my life from now on."
"Do not--"
Zhulan whispered, "Miss, you must not be so lazy. If we really become a family, I'm afraid your cousin will come back to you. One brother is not enough, you need two or three. In the future, your cousin will be sent to serve as an official, and you will be a prestigious official wife. That wild girl, no matter what her status, can't surpass you."
"Silly girl, that's why I said this is not a bad thing, don't cry."
Zhulan slowly wiped away her tears, but she felt a desire to fight. She whispered to Mu Yunzhi, "Don't be afraid, young lady. Even if my cousin takes concubines and maids in the future, I will not let those slutty bitches give birth to evil offspring that will get in the way."
"Zhulan, you can't do this."
Mu Yunzhi hurriedly stopped him, "You are a well-educated maid of my Mu family. You must not do those dirty things. This is the way of the world. The emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, let alone a talent like my cousin. If I really keep him in my room, wouldn't it be like a woman without morals? What can I accomplish in my life?"
"girl!"
Zhulan was angry and annoyed. She stamped her feet and whispered, "If you want to understand, you should know that your cousin can only give you 50% support, and the remaining 50% must be the boy you will give birth to in the future."
The master and servant talked about their future plans, and Zhulan advised Mu Yunzhi not to be too virtuous.
"You are smart, and you don't want to fight with those girls. But your safety for the rest of your life is at stake. You are kindhearted, but what about those girls?"
Zhulan had heard about what happened in other people's mansions from other people in the past, so she told Mu Yunzhi everything without hiding anything.
"Who wouldn't admire the wife of Mr. Wang? She is gentle, virtuous, kind and amiable. She is as close as sisters to Mr. Wang's concubines. Have you forgotten what happened afterwards?"
Wang Yuanwai also had business dealings with the Mu family and had heard about it a few times. Now that Zhulan mentioned it, Mu Yunzhi sighed, "How could I not know? Madam Wang died in an unclear manner, and the only son is still young. I heard that the second concubine persuaded the Mu family, and the legitimate son was sent away."
"Yes! Girl, remember not to be such a soft persimmon!"
