Chapter 799 Chu Moli Gets Married!
Duanmu Jing was overjoyed to learn that Mu Xin Nuan was pregnant again.
As the two were chatting and laughing, Duanmu Chuze returned.
Upon seeing Duanmu Jingzai, Duanmu Chuze's face darkened. "Why are you here?"
Duanmu Jing also became somewhat displeased, "What? Fourth Brother is the Crown Prince now, so I can't come?"
"You silly girl, you're the first to complain. I'm asking you, what exactly are you and Chu Rong planning to do? Your father and mother are getting old and can't take any more trouble. Just behave yourself, do you hear me?"
Duanmu Jing pouted, "Fourth Brother, you didn't even ask who was at fault before you started scolding me! Humph! As expected, I, your sister, am not as precious as your wife."
"Of course!" Duanmu Chuze said without hesitation. "My wife is definitely more precious than yours. If you want someone to pamper you, go find Chu Rong, don't bother my Anuan."
Tsk tsk, listen to what they're saying!
Duanmu Jing snorted coldly, "I would like to find him, but isn't he in the military camp right now?" As she spoke, a fawning smile appeared on her face, and she explained her intentions, waiting for her elder brother, the Crown Prince, to give her a satisfactory answer.
"You, how could you even think of that! Ah Nuan, didn't you try to persuade her just now?"
Mu Xin Nuan said helplessly, "I tried to persuade them, but to no avail. In my opinion, it would be good to let them meet. Although this matter was started by Chu Mo Li, in the final analysis, it is still a matter between the two young couple. Although Madam Chu is an elder, she can't interfere too much. Besides, isn't Jing'er still a princess? What kind of mother-in-law and sister-in-law of a princess insist on arranging for their son to take a concubine? That's not in accordance with the rules."
That makes sense, but we can't exactly let Duanmu Chuze, a man, argue with them, can we?
"Fine, since Ah Nuan has already put in a good word for you, then I'll take you with me. But there's one thing: you're not allowed to cause any trouble."
"Okay! Thank you very much, Fourth Brother."
Duanmu Jing was overjoyed and had no time to sit idly. After finding out the exact date, she hurriedly returned to her princess residence to make preparations.
"That Chu Moli is really something, does she have to cause trouble for the whole family before she feels better? And besides, if you hadn't brought Qiu Wan'er back, Xiao Jing wouldn't be in such a bad mood right now!"
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. Don't be angry, Nuan. Come on, I'll go for a walk with you. We'll have dinner later, otherwise you won't be able to eat."
Mu Xin Nuan let him support her as they slowly walked out of the main hall.
A few days later, Duanmu Jing indeed went to the military camp with Duanmu Chuze. Not only did she go, but she also brought her two children with her.
After Duanmu Chuze dismounted, he saw two little babies coming out of the carriage, one of whom was still being held by her wet nurse. He felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Could this little sister do something even more earth-shattering?
This is a military camp, a place of great importance. I was already being kind enough to agree to bring her here, but she actually brought her several-month-old baby with her.
Chu Rong and Duanmu Jing talked in the room for almost half an hour. When Duanmu Jing came out again, her eyes were a little red, but thankfully, she had a happy smile on her lips.
That same day, Chu Rong sent a letter back to the Chu family.
The letter severely reprimanded Chu Moli, and also told Madam Chu that the princess would return with the child after she went back to her residence. During this time, if she missed her child, she could go directly to the princess's residence to see the child, and the princess would not stop her.
This finally put Madam Chu's mind at ease, and she breathed a sigh of relief. However, Chu Moli's marriage could not be delayed any longer.
This time, whether it was intentional on General Chu's part or not, he actually chose a husband for her from another region. Although the family background was not bad, firstly, they weren't in the capital; secondly, their social standing was somewhat lacking; and thirdly, Chu Moli was marrying the second son of a widower. In the future, he would have no chance of becoming the matriarch of the family.
Chu Moli was initially unwilling, crying and making a scene. General Chu was already tired of her act, so he bluntly said that she could marry him or not and would have to live in the temple and never come back.
General Chu was a military officer, and he always kept his word.
His words startled not only Chu Moli, but also Madam Chu.
In the end, Chu Moli agreed to the marriage.
Because she was a divorced woman and her husband was a stepmother, the marriage was not celebrated in a grand manner.
Two weeks later, the two got married.
Keeping things simple is a style that military generals all prefer. Although Madam Chu was not very happy, since her husband had made up his mind, there was nothing she could do to help.
Most importantly, after reading the letter that Chu Rong had sent back, Madam Chu was somewhat disappointed in her daughter.
When the whole family had their eyes on Mu Xin Nuan, this daughter was unhappy and went against everyone, which strained the relationship between the two families.
Now that Chu Rong has married the princess, Chu Moli has stirred up trouble again.
Thinking back, Chu Moli hadn't caused the princess any trouble before, when the princess was making a scene at her in-laws' house. It was only after the princess divorced and returned to the Chu residence, spending some time with the princess, that she started causing trouble.
Madam Chu naturally understood the importance of the matter.
Princess Jing is the Emperor's legitimate princess, and Duanmu Chuze's younger sister. The two have always had a very good relationship, and Duanmu Jing and Mu Xin Nuan are also very close. At this time, no matter what, one cannot afford to offend Princess Jing.
When Mu Xin Nuan was three months pregnant, she sent people to deliver wedding cakes to the Mu family and the Zhenguo General's Mansion.
Li was counting down the days, and seeing that she had successfully completed three months of pregnancy, she quickly lit some incense for the Bodhisattva.
Now that there are no other women in the Eastern Palace, only Mu Xin Nuan as the proper mistress, Madam Li is not worried that anyone would dare to make a move on her. Moreover, she has a senior aunt by her side, so there should be no problem.
Only then did the old master and the Zhenguo General's Mansion learn that Mu Xin Nuan had been claiming illness and staying home all along, actually to take care of her pregnancy.
Both families were naturally overjoyed, and Li Wanhe from the second wife's side, upon hearing the news, had her eyes light up. "Are you telling the truth? Is the Crown Princess really pregnant?"
"Fourth Miss, it can't be wrong. The wedding cakes have already been distributed to each room and courtyard."
Li Wanhe's eyes crinkled with joy, but to the servants, it seemed as if she was being a little too happy.
It's as if she herself is pregnant. Isn't that a little strange?
Li Wanhe frowned. "Give the order that I go to the temple outside the city to offer incense and say that I am going to pray for the Crown Princess."
"Yes, Fourth Miss."
