Chapter 2472 - 51:
Speaking of which, Marquis Changning’s Mansion will eventually be inherited by Qingqing. At this time, it’s quite troublesome for the second brother to hold the wedding banquet there and then have to move out once Qingqing gets married and the family divides; it makes him seem pitiful as he doesn’t have a place of his own.
Therefore, it was suggested that the brothers’ wedding banquets all be held at Prince An’s Mansion, and after marriage, they could all reside here. Once the family officially splits in the future, they can each move out.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zi’an was naturally happy and agreed.
As for Ye Haoyang, he didn’t have much objection either. Though his mother had prepared a residence for him, it was not as grand as Prince An’s Mansion. Plus, getting married here could give Hua’en some face.
Early in the morning, all three Ye Family’s young masters were dressed up, with Ye Haoxuan and Ye Rongqing assigned to help with welcoming the bride.
They greeted Ye Zi’an and Yang Chuxia brightly and then went off to the Mu Residence to welcome the bride.
At Mu Residence, Mu Huaen was nearly ready.
The disfigured half of her face was covered with a human skin mask. This was a creation by Mu Niancheng, who spent over ten days crafting it to ensure her wedding day had no regrets.
"My daughter truly is beautiful," Commandery Princess Dongyang said as she personally styled her hair and applied makeup.
"Mother!" Mu Huaen held her hand, her eyes red.
"You mustn’t cry; today is a joyous day, and tears would bring misfortune." Commandery Princess Dongyang continued to embrace her, "Live well in the future; Yangyang is a good child, he will treat you well."
"Mother, I know."
"It’s good that you know; you are familiar with the other members of the Ye Family, so try to get along with them."
"Okay."
"..."
After a few more words of advice, Commandery Princess Dongyang left.
Mu Huaen looked in the mirror with delight, as she hadn’t seen such a flawless face in a long time.
Her eyes fell on the pearl necklace around her neck, feeling somewhat displeased; she preferred the gemstone chain given by Brother Ye Er.
"Zhuan’er..."
"Zhuan’er..."
"Hey, where is this girl?" Mu Huaen turned to glance around the room, wondering why the bridesmaid was absent too.
Just then, a strange young maid entered from the outer room, "Miss, Miss, Sister Zhuan’er went out with Madam. If you need anything, please tell me."
"Which courtyard are you from? Why haven’t I seen you before? Where is the bridesmaid?" Mu Huaen asked first.
The maid didn’t answer her question, so Mu Huaen frowned, ready to get angry, when another maid-like figure entered.
As the newcomer raised her head, Mu Huaen was shocked, "Mu Huarong, why are you here?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Huarong smiled mysteriously and drew a piece of paper from her sleeve, which boldly read, "Ye Haoyang either never marries or can only marry me."
"I think you are not just heart-sick, even your brain is troubled." Mu Huaen stood up, sneering, "I let you succeed once because I considered you a sister. If I let you succeed a second time, what right do I have to stand by Brother Ye Er?"
She reached to remove the hairpin from her head; the pin was hollow, filled with powder.
Mu Huaen was skilled in poisons, which Mu Huarong naturally knew, but ever since Mu Huaen’s disfigurement, those toxins were long destroyed, and Mu Huaen swore never to concoct poisons again. How could she still have them? Especially on a day like today, how could she carry such things?
Mu Huaen detected her confusion and sneered, "I swore never to make poisons again because making poisons lost me Brother Ye Er. Now that I am about to marry Brother Ye Er, there’s no need to harp on past vows."
As her words fell, Mu Huarong also collapsed to the ground, followed by that strange maid.
