Chapter 47: The Eve of the Wedding
Before dawn the next day, Situ Youning was guarding the gate, although he endured such humiliation to beg Feng Yumo, but he did not say anything, Situ Youning did not fall asleep all night, she was afraid that when the holy decree would come to Situ Mansion, so on the third and fourth days, she paid attention to the movements around the gate at any time.
The housekeeper and the nursing home staged a scene of discussion of Wu Yueshan and Situ Shaoqi's marriage in front of Xu Rushi according to her instructions, and Xu Rushi was furious and pointed the finger at Wu Yueshan.
On the evening of the third day, Situ Youning looked forward to the person she didn't want to see at the door-Situ Muling, even so, she still felt very relieved, what she finally waited for was at least not the indifferent and ruthless holy decree.
When Situ Muling softly woke up Situ Youning, who was asleep against the door frame, Situ Youning slowly opened her eyes, in the dim light, she seemed to see the second brother from a long time ago, the second brother at that time, or the brother who would stand in front of her to protect herself without any scruples, Situ Youning couldn't help but rub her eyes a little moist.
"Tomorrow is the day you get married, why are you still staying in this place now, if you catch a cold, it will cause trouble for Situ Mansion." Situ Muling stood up straight and looked down at Situ Youning.
Situ Youning didn't get angry at Situ Muling's words, she just opened her mouth and asked lightly, "Second brother, will my father and mother come back tomorrow?" ”
Looking at Situ Youning, who had no interesting teardrops in his eyes and looked as quiet as a lake in the middle of the night, Situ Muling's hands behind his back trembled slightly.
"They're not coming back." Situ Muling's words did not carry any emotional color, but deep down in his heart, he was eagerly looking forward to Situ Youning's next reaction.
Situ Youning removed the gaze that had been looking at Situ Muling, lowered her head, and clutched the index finger of her left hand with her right hand, and finally she slowly stood up, but because she had been sitting for too long, her legs had begun to go numb, and her whole body fell backwards.
originally thought that she was going to add another wound, but her body did not fall to the ground, and Situ Muling finally hugged her back.
"Rest early today."
Gently leaning on Situ Muling's chest, Situ Youning didn't cry like she was in Situ Tanhua's arms, after listening to Situ Muling's words, she just nodded slightly and walked towards the mansion.
She had only walked a few steps before she stopped and looked back at Situ Muling, "Second brother, has the Situ family's business been going well recently?" ”
Situ Muling was stunned, his hands clenched and frowned, but he quickly regained his composure, "Didn't you say it, this kind of thing is not your girl's responsibility." ”
Although the uneasiness in Situ Muling's eyes was only a momentary thing, it was seen by Situ Youning, and after she was silent for a while, she took a deep breath, "Second brother also rest early." ”
Looking at Situ Youning's disappearing back, Situ Muling fell into deep thought.
"Second brother, do you really have the heart to let Ning'er marry Feng Yumo?" The voice of Situ Tan's painting suddenly sounded, and he walked to Situ Muling's side, the two tall figures stood in the dim light of the night, looking in the same direction, the white robe and the cyan robe fluttering gently in the breeze.
"Why did the fifth brother ask me this question? If you can't bear it, you can stop that girl. ”
Situ Tanhua glanced sideways at Situ Muling, his expression was unusually serious, "Second brother, did you control this incident?" ”
Facing Situ Tan's questioning, Situ Muling laughed and looked at him, "The fifth brother's observation is still so keen, if it weren't for lingering in the land of fireworks all day long, you might be the most capable of all the brothers." ”
"Haha..." Situ Tanhua opened the fan in his hand and laughed, but his smile was a heartfelt smile, but soon there was a hint of ridicule in the laughter, "Since it was planned by the second brother, then how can I be embarrassed to stop you, fifth brother?" ”
Situ Tan's words inevitably made Situ Muling a little surprised, because if you want to say that among the six brothers, Situ Youning has the best relationship with Situ Youning, it should be him, when he came back, Situ Muling began to worry that his plan might be terminated because of Situ Tan's painting, but he didn't expect that he had such an attitude towards Situ Youning's affairs.
"Second brother, then I'll go back and rest first, and you can rest early today."
There was a light rain in the sky again, and Situ Muling waved his white long sleeves and walked into the door.
The two horses galloped one after the other in the night, and the anxiety in the hearts of the two people on the back of the horses was like the sound of hurried horses' hooves.
"Third brother, the mountain road is too dark, you slow down!" Situ Chenfeng pretended to be calm behind Situ Shaoqi and persuaded him.
"Big brother, tomorrow is the wedding date, do you think I can not be in a hurry? Even at this rate, we may not be able to rush back to Chang'an tomorrow morning. Situ Shaoqi's expression was very serious, and his eyes revealed strong anger.
Regarding Situ Shaoqi's words, Situ Chenfeng didn't know how to answer, because this was also what he was thinking at this time.
"Isn't Mu Ling in Chang'an? Why would he allow such a thing to happen? ”
"Humph!" Situ Shaoqi replied disdainfully, "It's good that he didn't add oil and vinegar to this matter." ”
"Third brother, what do you mean by that?"
The reason why he left Chang'an with his eldest brother was entirely because of Feng Yumo's proposal, and his father Situ Hao left Chang'an because of the sudden business trouble, Situ Muling, who had always been with him, did not follow him this time, and the eldest brother received a letter from his sister-in-law a few days ago, how could his mother, who usually regards Xiao Yujing as a thorn in her side, let her sister-in-law go back to the Shen family with her, there must be a reason for her helplessness, and this reason is likely to be related to Situ Muling, who was still in Chang'an at the time, And according to the information he usually collected, Situ Muling was originally very close to Feng Yumo.
Although he was suspicious of Situ Muling, in front of Situ Chenfeng, he still didn't say anything, so he could only change the topic, "If only the fourth brother could rush back." ”
"I hope so."
"Brother..." Feng Yaoyi poked her little head out from behind the door, her big eyes stared at Feng Yumo's expression sitting at the desk from a distance, and only after making sure that she was not in danger of her life when she went in, she stepped into the study.
"Why don't you rest so late?" Feng Yumo put down the book in his hand and looked at Feng Yaoyi with doting eyes.
"Brother," Feng Yaoyi walked behind Feng Yumo and gently hugged his neck, "I can't sleep." ”
"What's wrong?" Feng Yumo said softly, and then closed his tired eyes.
"Brother!" Feng Yaoyi let go of him in surprise and stood in front of him, "Tomorrow is the day of your concubine, I should not be able to sleep as a sister, but why are you still staying here so leisurely and reading books now, I haven't seen you preparing for tomorrow's wedding these days." ”
"Really?"
"You can't forget, can you?!" Feng Yaoyi looked at her brother in surprise again, but this time she pouted angrily, for the fact that her brother never took other women to heart, Feng Yaoyi was a little upset for them.
"Ahem..." Feng Yumo coughed a few times, "I know, I'll send someone to arrest her tomorrow." ”
"Catch?" Feng Yaoyi's brows furrowed.
"Alright, take it, let's do it." Feng Yumo picked up the book again with trouble.
Feng Yaoyi slapped her hands on the desk, "Brother, I really want to hear that you took the initiative to marry Situ Youning, why is this attitude now?" ”
Feng Yumo put down the book in his hand, raised his head to look at Feng Yaoyi, and patiently explained, "I just played a joke with her, I didn't expect her to beg me to marry her." ”
"Joking in front of the emperor and the two queen mothers?"
"Yaoyi," Feng Yumo stood up and gently pinched the tip of Feng Yaoyi's nose, "You just take care of your own affairs, don't be too curious." He walked out of the study.
"Brother, sister-in-law's business..." Regarding Feng Yumo's words just now, the feeling in Feng Yaoyi's heart was not so much anger as distress, she said in a low voice.
"Shut up!" Feng Yumo turned his back to Feng Yaoyi and interrupted her words, his tone was completely different from just now, which made Feng Yaoyi shrink her shoulders in fright.
