Chapter 163 Mu Baiying's Wedding 2
Mu Baiying opened her red lips slightly, her voice as gentle as the cry of an oriole: "Father, mother, today I am getting married. When I go to the palace, I will follow my father's instructions, abide by the rules of being a woman, and serve His Royal Highness the King attentively without any willful thoughts. I will also always remember my mother's teachings and take good care of myself. I hope my parents will not worry!"
Jiang's eyes were filled with tears. She nodded continuously, her face full of relief.
Mu Baiying bid farewell again, and then, in the gaze of everyone, she slowly stood up and walked towards Li Shanglu.
Li Shanglu gazed at her gently, took her hand, and walked towards the wedding procession.
The Mu Xun couple stood still, their eyes closely following Mu Baiying's figure, their hearts unable to calm down for a long time.
The wedding procession marched forward in a mighty manner, and festive music echoed in the air.
"It's so lively! I want my wedding to be as lively in the future!" Mu Lanxue couldn't help but sigh as she watched the wedding procession going away.
Mu Lanfeng pursed her lips slightly, revealed a faint smile, and said: "Of course, it will definitely be much more lively than this!"
"Really?" Mu Lanxue was filled with joy, smiling so hard that her mouth couldn't close. She said cheerfully, "Then you must be there at that time, Fifth Sister!"
Mu Lanfeng pulled Mu Lanxue's arm and said in a very intimate way: "My third sister's wedding is such an important event, I will definitely be indispensable! When the time comes, you are not allowed to cry!"
"How shameless! You are still an unmarried girl, how can you have the nerve to talk about getting married in public? Are you crazy about men?" Mu Hongliao had been standing behind the two of them without them knowing, rolling her eyes and suddenly blurting out such a sour remark.
The two sisters were startled for a moment, then slowly turned their heads and looked in the direction of Mu Hongliao.
Mu Hongliao was a little frightened by the looks they gave her at the same time. After just a moment, she raised her chin again, her eyes full of arrogance and disdain, and said domineeringly: "What? Did I say something wrong? Humph!"
Mu Lanfeng frowned slightly, her expression full of displeasure, and she retorted mercilessly: "Marriage is a matter of human nature. Fourth sister, you said such sour words for no reason. Is it because after the eldest sister got married, you felt that no one would speak for you anymore, so you are so sarcastic?"
Mu Lanxue smiled playfully and said slowly, "Fourth sister, there is fish for lunch today, you have to eat more!"
"Ah?" Mu Hongliao was confused, "What does this mean?"
"Look at you." Mu Lanfeng raised his chin, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "If you are so picky, you should eat more fish!"
"Let's go!" Mu Lanfeng said, then he took Mu Lanxue's arm and walked into the gate of the Mu Mansion with light steps.
Only Mu Hongliao was left standing there with a confused look on her face.
After a long time, Mu Hongliao finally realized that she had been fooled.
Her face turned ashen, she gnashed her teeth with anger, and rushed into the gate of the Mu Mansion in rage to settle the score with the two sisters.
After all, Mu Xun was the prime minister of a dynasty, so naturally there were many guests coming this time.
Left Prime Minister Gao Yuanxing came with his wife, Minister of Revenue Lou Heng also came, and even General Zheng Xiuming, who had always been at odds with him, showed up.
Among the princes, the second prince Li Zhiyuan also arrived, and almost all officials, both big and small, were present.
For a time, the Mu Mansion was bustling with people, and it was extremely lively. It was an unprecedented occasion with so many guests.
Mu Xun suddenly felt his face glowing and his whole body was radiant.
Accompanying Jiang, he greeted the guests with a bright smile on his face.
Jiang was also graceful and cooperated well with Mu Xun. She sometimes smiled sweetly and sometimes spoke softly, taking good care of every guest.
He moved among the crowd, and wherever he went, guests bowed to him and praised him.
"How dare those two little bitches treat me like this!" Mu Hongliao was furious and yelled at the top of her voice.
When she chased to the banquet, she immediately shut up as if someone had covered her mouth.
His expression kept changing, and even though he was extremely angry, he did not dare to act presumptuously in front of so many guests.
She gritted her teeth and searched for Mu Lanfeng and Mu Lanxue in the crowd, her eyes full of resentment!
The guests were first attracted by Mu Hongliao's shouting and turned to look.
Mu Hongliao was standing there with an angry look on her face, and everyone looked surprised.
But soon, everyone returned to normal and continued the conversation as if nothing had happened. After all, in such an occasion, no one wanted to get into unnecessary trouble.
Some people were discussing it in private.
"Look at the fourth young lady of the Mu family. She doesn't look like a lady from a noble family at all. What's the difference between her and a street shrew?" The wife of the Left Prime Minister said with disdain on her face.
"Yes, it's not proper to shout and yell at a banquet like this." Another official's wife echoed.
"Humph, the Mu family is considered a famous and prestigious family, how could they raise such an ignorant daughter? It really brings shame to the Mu family!"
"This fourth young lady is so out of control, is she trying to attract everyone's attention?"
"It seems that the Mu family's education is just so-so. This fourth young lady is so arrogant, which family will dare to marry her in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xun and Jiang's faces changed drastically and they were extremely angry, but they had to pretend to remain calm in front of so many guests.
Mu Xun coughed lightly, forced a smile on his face, and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh. This child is young and doesn't know the rules. Please don't mind."
Jiang also quickly agreed, "Yes, children are ignorant, please don't take it to heart."
After saying that, Jiang signaled Aunt Liu with her eyes to take Mu Hongliao away.
Aunt Liu pursed her lips and wanted to say a few words to defend Mu Hongliao, but when she raised her eyes and saw Mu Xun's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, she immediately swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and fell silent in an instant.
She knew that she couldn't disobey this matter, so she hurried to Mu Hongliao's side and said in a low voice, "Hongliao, come with me quickly, don't make the Prime Minister and his wife unhappy again."
Mu Hongliao looked unwilling and wanted to struggle, but was held tightly by Aunt Liu.
Jiang knew Mu Hongliao's personality very well and was afraid that she would make a scene, so she looked at Mu Xun.
She walked slowly to Mu Hongliao, with a gentle smile on her face, coaxing and fooling around, acting like a loving mother, and said gently: "Good child, today is a good day for your big sister! Promise mother that we can talk about anything tomorrow, okay?"
Mu Hongliao usually listened to Jiang's words the most. After being coaxed by Jiang, the anger in her eyes subsided a little, and she nodded obediently and agreed: "Hongliao listens to mother. Mother must make the decision for Hongliao!"
As she spoke, Mu Hongliao raised her chin and looked at Jiang with a face full of grievance, then suddenly pulled her hand away from Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu was caught off guard by this sudden move.
She swayed, her eyes widened, her face full of panic, and she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
After stabilizing herself, she smiled awkwardly, her face instantly reddening to her ears, a trace of panic flashing in her eyes, and she did not forget to cover up for Mu Hongliao, "This child is really strong!"
As she spoke, she quickly reached out to tidy up her messy hair, and glanced at the people around her from time to time, afraid that others would notice her embarrassment.
"Mother, Hongliao will go down first." Mu Hongliao lowered her head slightly. Although there was still reluctance in her eyes, her tone had become much gentler.
She bit her lips lightly, twisted the corners of her clothes tightly with her hands, and when she turned to leave, she looked back at Jiang from time to time.
Upon seeing this, Aunt Liu hurriedly followed closely behind.
She lowered her head, looking a little nervous and uneasy, and carefully followed Mu Hongliao out of the banquet.
"Fourth sister, is the fish delicious?" Mu Lanfeng said slowly with a faint smile in her eyes.
When Mu Hongliao heard Mu Lanfeng's words, she suddenly stopped, turned around, her eyes wide open, and her fists clenched tightly.
"Little bitch, so you've been hiding here!" she said gritting her teeth.
Mu Lanfeng was not afraid of Mu Hongliao's glare at all. She still smiled faintly, tilted her head slightly, and spoke softly but with a barely perceptible edge: "What's wrong with Fourth Sister? You are so angry, is it because you didn't like the fish?"
Mu Hongliao was furious. She rushed to Mu Lanfeng and raised her hand to hit him: "You little bitch, you made me look bad today. I will teach you a lesson!"
However, before her hand fell, Mu Lanfeng firmly grasped her wrist.
Mu Lanfeng's eyes turned cold, and he exerted a little force on his hands: "Fourth sister, it will not look good if we fight in public."
Mu Hongliao struggled to pull her hand back, but found that Mu Lanfeng was too strong and she couldn't get free at all.
