ters on this side, they said that so-called spirit marriage is a folk custom, something decided by the families of two deceased people… You, my husband, wouldn't be using spirit marriage for another p...Mu Wanchen wouldn't let me leave early, he kept standing beside me holding my hand.
The wedding took place in a magnificent palace, located in the upper part of the Wuzhi King's city. It was lavishly decorated with twelve enormous stone pillars supporting its structure.
Mu Xia Qiao pouted, "When we came here before, it was very simple... Now it's decorated like this... Humph, sure enough, treating your wife differently..."
"Wasn't it very rudimentary before" I asked directly.
She nodded and said, "Anyway, when I first saw these halls and rooms, they all felt like tombs, full of stone and wood. But look now, the beams are intricately carved and there's a profusion of splendid decoration, completely different styles... What do you think We outsiders just give a casual greeting, but our own wives would rather empty their entire fortune to make things grander!"
She teased Mu Wanchen, who replied faintly, "Stones and jade are no different in my eyes. They're just values imposed by the world. I only need a roof over my head. However, Yin Luojiao has been pampered her whole life, so naturally, I can't let her suffer with me."
Ptui ptui ptui, eating one's own dog food is really pathetic.
Mu Xia Qiao was looking at me with a mischievous grin, and I felt a little embarrassed.
Sitting beside Mu Wanchen, waiting for waves of people to come and present gifts and bow, this tedious and boring procedure lasted for ages. I almost fell asleep sitting here.
Mu Xia Qiao was treated like a VIP here. People called her honored guest, she sat on our left, happily eating fresh fruit. Master had already vanished, leaving Mu Xia Qiao to attend the wedding banquet alone.
"Xiao Yinluo, when are you two planning to have a baby" Mu Xia Qiao asked seriously.
I almost choked. The old woman who was hosting the ceremony next to me, I think her name was Ban Po—the people here have pretty unusual surnames.
Grandma Ban heard the young mistress's question and her eyes lit up with excitement. She immediately turned to me, as if waiting for my answer.
"......You know how hard it is to raise children, why would you encourage me to go through it again" I laughed nervously hoping to get past it.
"Well, this isn't repeating the past, this is just going with the flow. Besides, you two are already married, it's much better than when I was your age~~" she smiled at Mu Wanchen: "Have kids soon and bring them to Nanshan to play together, Nanshan kindergarten hahaha."
Little Mrs. smiled sweetly, making me smile back involuntarily. But this matter of children... still... maybe we should take it slow. I'm afraid my father's heart couldn't take it.
The moment I think of my dad, I feel a little homesick. Although I've only been gone for a few days, I'm not quite used to being alone here.
Mu Wanchen's life here is quite archaic. Seeing the abundant food and wine at the banquet, I can't help but think of how the wealthy and powerful figures of ancient times squandered their wealth.
He didn't care about these things at all. Whether it was fine clothes and delicious food or plain rice and tea, he couldn't eat much. Instead, he paid attention to what I liked to eat, which made me a little embarrassed.
"Mu Wanchen, I'm really not some pampered little princess. I just have a lot of siblings and love to act cute and clingy. You don't need to treat me like this." I said softly.
"It's fine, my wife. I can afford to spoil you. Just pick what you like, don't worry about the rest."
"So much waste, can we give it to someone else" I asked quietly.
Suit yourself.
I called Liang Xiaoge over and asked him to help me distribute the things in front of us. Liang Xiaoge whispered, "Little princess, Your Majesty the Witch King, I just saw Si Duan sneaking out, I don't know if he is going to the dungeon to save Si Yun. I have already sent someone to watch him, we need to be more vigilant."
Mu Wanchen nodded slightly and said to me, "Yin Luo, go home first after the banquet. I'll come find you after I deal with things here."
"Oh... what are you handling Can't I see"
He gave me a withering glance. “Better not look, it might scare you.”
This tone, is it meant to interrogate Siyun
Mulan Chen said what she meant and delivered, opening a portal for me on the platform of the Witch King's Palace.
Legend has it that immortals can travel to the East China Sea in the morning and Kunlun Mountains in the evening.
Thoughts change with every thought, coming and going in an instant.
Only those with a connection to the origin have the opportunity to enter the Dharma Gate.
Mu Xiaoqiao was very familiar with the way to Fa Men. Mu Wanchen didn't go with me, she took me there instead.
On the other side of the door was my room. As soon as I entered, I heard Xiao Hei's alert cat call from outside the window. I hurried to open the window and waved at it. When it saw me, it continued to lie lazily on a stone bench in the pavilion.
"This cat…" Mu Xia Qiao glanced through the window crack, her brows furrowed slightly. "Why is this cat still alive"
"Huh"
"Humans have three souls, animals have two, and plants have one. This cat's soul is incomplete, how can it still be so clever" Mu Xiaoqiao asked in bewilderment.
"Ah… I was about to die, but Mu Wanchen saved me." I explained as I opened the closet and changed my clothes.
Mu Xia Qiao sighed, "Mu Wan Chen is too merciful. Some things that should pass away, it's better to let them go, but he... always softens his heart."
"Speaking of which, Mu Xia Qiao smiled at me and said, "Actually, you're quite soft-hearted. You don't want to cause harm if you can avoid it. This kind of mindset is good, it creates less karma."
"After all, my family are doctors... every day we study how to heal the sick and save lives. I really can't bear to harm a life. Besides, our family also practices Taoism, little mistress. Why don't you stay here for two days I'll arrange a courtyard for you." I changed my clothes and prepared to go to the front yard to find my father and eldest brother.
"Sure!" Mu Xiaqiao nodded and smiled, "I've never lived in a big manor like yours before. Our Mu family's old house in the countryside is made of wood and brick, very simple. Your ancestors look like wealthy landlords at first glance! I want to stay for two days to experience it, and take some time to visit the Shen family."
Hmm, Mu Xia Qiao is such a cute and gentle woman, but she also carries responsibility on her shoulders.
Perhaps a woman becomes stronger and more open-minded after becoming a wife and a mother.
Of course, it also depends on how much love she receives.
Women are beings that are always nurtured by love. The more kindness and love they receive, the more kindness and love they radiate outwards.
I took Mu Xiaqiao to see Master Yunfan first. The two siblings seemed to be very familiar with each other, not at all awkward. They greeted each other with hugs and pats, then the junior sister went to hug her sister-in-law and chat in whispers.
It seems Master Yunfan quite likes our place. It's a good spot for Madam Mu to rest and recuperate while she carries the child, so he intends to stay for a month or two.
My dad actually went out to see patients again. I really don't understand how this old man can't just stay at home at his age
With so many apprentices now, who will go out to practice medicine about to burst!Is he controlling himselfIs there still hope!I reached up and touched the small window behind me, desperately searching for a button.In the instant that Jie Dou drew his sword, I opene...
