"If the prince is telling a joke, I will be in vain. At this time when flowers are blooming, it would be good to hear a joke." Mo Xuetong smiled disapprovingly, shaking the fan lightly in his hand, completely taking it seriously. He looked like he was listening to the joke, his smart watery eyes were still curved charmingly, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
"If this is true, and your father agreed!" You Yuecheng sneered, with some anger, how could this little woman treat her marriage like this, and talk about the most important marriage in her life in such an understatement? It was like a joke, which made him very angry. No woman had ever dared to ignore his existence like this.
"Even if my father agrees, I will not agree." Mo Xuetong smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and picked up a peony between his fingers: "Your Majesty, you see, this peony is called Qu Rong, and it only blooms in the spring that she approves of. , other times, even if someone makes the environment like spring, she will not open it."
He was talking about Huyan Youyue City, seemingly unconcerned, but he was thinking rapidly in his heart. No wonder his father looked so weird today. He specially asked himself to dress up. He thought his father was taking into account the rules of Mr. Peony. Unexpectedly, it was for You Yuecheng came here with the purpose of letting himself and You Yuecheng see each other.
It's just a pity that her father's idea will definitely come to nothing. She and You Yuecheng are fighting wits and courage. It's not a matter of a day or two for them to dislike each other. What's more, she has never considered You Yuecheng in her heart. This man has a weird mind. She was really looking down on her hooking up with Mo Xuemin again.
"Since ancient times, marriage has been dictated by parents and matchmakers. Do you, a noble lady, still want to disobey it?" You Yuecheng's eyes were stern, and there was a surge of anger in his heart that he couldn't suppress, and he said with hatred.
"The prince is wrong. My father hasn't agreed yet, so where can I get the words from my parents? Besides, the prince may not know that I have been engaged since I was a child, but the prince cannot ask for it." Mo Xuetong smiled sweetly. Yes, there was a hint of cunning in his eyes, and he leaned against the flower tree behind him, smiling as brightly as a flower.

Her father may have this idea, but if it was indeed decided, there would be no such meeting today. Her father must still be hesitant. She didn't know what You Yuecheng was threatening her father with, and it was just some things about her mother. , what she has to do now is to give up You Yuecheng's thoughts. You Yuecheng has never expressed that he wants to marry her in the past.
Of course, she would not be narcissistic enough to think that You Yuecheng fell in love with her and wanted to marry her after having bad relations with her several times!
Then You Yuecheng's purpose in wanting to marry him is a bit intriguing.
Mo Xuetong has been engaged? This was something You Yuecheng had never thought of. He raised his head in shock, with anger surging under the undercurrent in his eyes. No wonder Mo Huawen delayed it again and again. If he couldn't delay it any longer, he asked Mo Xuetong to look at him and said If she is satisfied, it will be done.
For this reason, he also deliberately paid more attention to what he was wearing before going out than usual.
"Why have I never heard about your engagement?" His eyes were extremely cold and his face became extremely ugly.
"Naturally, the matter of a girl's engagement cannot be told to outsiders. It is normal that the prince has never heard of it." Mo Xuetong smiled leisurely and said lightly.
She had no intersection with You Yuecheng in her previous life, and she didn't want to have anything to do with him in this life. He was just an unimportant passerby. After Mo Xuetong said these few words, she felt that she had no intention of continuing.
"Your Majesty, I'm admiring it here. I'll go take a look in front and say goodbye." Without waiting for You Yuecheng's reply, Mo Xuetong turned around and moved out of the way to leave.
Sure enough, he still refused to take the hard way, and was extremely cunning. Anger surged in the undercurrent in You Yuecheng's eyes. He stretched out his hand, trying to repeat his old plan, and stopped Mo Xuetong to force him to say something else. A figure Appearing quietly on the road ahead, a hoarse and somewhat elegant voice came: "But Mr. Ming Guo, some ladies in front of me got into a fight. I heard that it was you. Go and have a look." Bar!"
The wind blew, lifting the peonies he had embroidered into the blue water ice fabric. The large peonies were worn on his body, giving people a sense of luxury for no reason, mixed with the extravagant floral fragrance, and a pair of twinkling eyes. Under the mask, it was revealed that the visitor turned out to be the owner of the Peony Garden, Mr. Peony.
You Yuecheng frowned, and suddenly remembered that when he entered, Ling Mingyan's carriage was also behind him. Is this Ling Mingyan? He had another dispute with a young lady from an unknown family, and it must have involved him. A trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, and he turned to look at Mo Xuetong helplessly, then turned and left in the direction where Mr. Peony came from.
"Princess Anping?" Young Master Mudan looked Mo Xuetong up and down and asked with a smile.
There was something strange in Mo Xuetong's heart. Mr. Peony had appeared so timely, as if he appeared just when You Yuecheng was in trouble for her. The timing was perfect.
"Mr. Peony?" Mo Xuetong smiled faintly, and her eyes fell on his face, where he wore half a mask. Then he slowly moved it down, and the thin, bright red lips and the smile on the corners of his lips became more and more beautiful. No wonder At that time, she felt that there was something very wrong with Mr. Peony, but it turned out to be him.
The two of them are indeed destined, the only outsider who was friendly to her in her previous life, but in this life...
Yes, it was a coincidence that when I saw him at that time, he was in Yuncheng.
"Princess Anping is already engaged? That's a pity. I just wanted to prepare a four-color gift to propose to you." Mr. Peony said with a smile. Although the face under the mask could not be seen clearly, it made people feel elegant inexplicably. It has a jade-like feel and is luxurious and mysterious, but this does not detract from its excellence.
Mo Xuetong raised her eyebrows, reached out and brushed a strand of hair that fell on her face behind her ears, raised her eyes and smiled sweetly. Although her delicate eyes were shy, she looked at the twinkling eyes in front of her without evading them. In his previous life, he didn't know who he was because he wasn't familiar with him. In this life, he only looked at him like this, and there was a reluctant smile in his eyes.
"Then the young master should hurry up and come to the door. If it's too late, I will have no choice but to marry someone else."
Her eyes were flowing, extremely charming.
"Ghost Elf, you have guessed it as expected." A helpless smile accompanied by a familiar lazy voice overflowed from Mr. Peony's lips. With a bit of pampering and a bit of heartache, he walked over and stretched out his long arms, holding his hand. Holding Mo Xuetong's slender waist, the figure disappeared from the place in a flash.
…
"Is the injury healed?" Mo Xuetong asked, looking at Feng Juoran who casually took off his mask. Under the mask was indeed Feng Juoran's extremely handsome face. She was used to seeing him wearing purple clothes with peony patterns on his body. The robe made him more flamboyant, noble, and gorgeous with a sense of laziness.
"Don't worry, my injury is almost healed." Feng Juoran leaned against Mo Xuetong nonchalantly. The two people's brocade stools were so close together, which inexplicably made Mo Xuetong feel a little nervous again. Subconsciously, she turned sideways to avoid his fiery gaze.
"Is what You Yuecheng said today true?" Mo Xuetong bit her lip, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she deliberately changed the subject, with a faint blush on her face because he was too close.
"Don't worry, after a while, your father's marriage decree will come to your house. No one will dare to miss you anymore." Feng Juoran reached out and held Mo Xuetong's hand, and said softly, "You Just get ready to get married.”
"Will You Yuecheng..." Mo Xuetong blushed and was a little embarrassed, but still asked worriedly.
"You Yuecheng doesn't care about himself. He can marry whomever he wants. Ling Mingyan, who just settled in the Duke's mansion, had a dispute with several young ladies who secretly had a crush on him because of him. For a while, , How can he escape?"
Not only will he be unable to escape for a while, but he will also be unable to escape from now on!
Ling Mingyan, that woman, was destined to be married to You Yuecheng. Who dared him to spy on his woman, and even tried to force her into marriage while she was injured? Fortunately, he had always had an informant in the Mo Mansion. Otherwise, he would have almost been killed by You Yuecheng this time. Exploited a loophole.
Thinking that when he and Bai Yihao were fighting with each other in a battle of wits and strength, You Yuecheng was standing by to take advantage of him. This evil fire was a bit hard to suppress, and he had to vent his anger no matter what.
Doesn't he want to get married? Okay, he will make it happen. After today, You Yuecheng will not be able to get married even if he wants to.
Hearing his affirmation, Mo Xuetong nodded, You Yuecheng was fine, but what about Bai Yihao
"That engagement..." She raised her head and asked with a frown.
Bai Yihao is not You Yuecheng!
"But this note?" Feng Juoran let go of Mo Xuetong's hand, and flipped through it with his slender fingers. A somewhat old note came out in his hand. The yellowed page showed that he had some troubles. time.
"Where did it come from?" Mo Xuetong was overjoyed, stretched out her hand to take it and asked.
"Bai Yihao took advantage of the fifth princess to have his house burned down, so of course I took advantage of the chaos and stole his engagement contract first. Anyway, he didn't care, so he just threw it aside. If it weren't for me, this piece of paper would have been burned away." Feng Juoran smiled proudly and said, of course he would not tell Mo Xuetong how Bai Yihao was nervous about the box and the engagement contract in the box.
No matter what, Tong'er is his, no one can take it away.
Mo Xuetong's attention was entirely on the paper in her hand.
Counting her past life and second life, this was the first time she saw this marriage contract made by her mother for herself. No, it was more like a contract. What was her mother doing? Did she know a woman's innocence? How important her name is to her, yet it's such a child's play to make a marriage contract that neither party agrees with.
If by the time you are fifteen years old and the other person has not come to your doorstep, you can marry a man and a woman, regardless of who you are.
There were only restrictions on her own side. If Mo Xuetong hadn't known that Bai Yihao was still young when the marriage agreement was made, she would have almost thought that this was Bai Yihao's plan.
A one-sided contract, a one-sided respect, the time was when she was a child. In her previous life, she clearly remembered that this engagement had never appeared.
"Mother, why did you sign this engagement?" Mo Xuetong's hands were cold and she bit her lip hard to suppress the waves of pain that surged into her heart.
The best age for a Qin woman to get engaged is thirteen or fourteen. If it is still undecided by the age of fifteen, it will be more difficult to choose the right one. Why does the mother think that she should stay like this and wait for Bai Yi? Hao will marry him if he feels he is valuable.
In the last life, Bai Yihao occasionally appeared in everyone's gossip. The astonishingly proud Crown Prince and she were from two different worlds. Even if they were on the same plane, they would never intersect. As the daughter of an ordinary official of the Qin State, why did my mother think that the Crown Prince of the Yan State would condescend to marry her.
Is this why my mother doesn’t take it seriously
But since he knew this, why didn't he say it outright in the first place, and why did he come up with such a marriage contract, which restricted himself to death, but gave Bai Yihao absolute freedom.
Regardless of whether Bai Yihao marries her or not, she has to wait until she is fifteen. If someone wants to marry, she comes to the door with a marriage certificate, and she must marry; if someone doesn't want to marry her, then it will be a male or a female, it doesn't matter!
What a ridiculous engagement!
There is nothing more ridiculous than this in the world! The note in his hand turned into bits of crumbs, torn into pieces and fell from the air! Then he squatted on the ground again, silently picking up pieces one by one, taking the flint from the side, opening it to light a flame, throwing all the scraps of paper into the burning flame, and watching the fire swallow up these small pieces of paper.
No more entanglements from now on.
It was like this in the past life, and it should be like this in this life!
"Tong'er, it's all over, there's no more..." Feng Juoran put his arms around her slender waist, patted her shoulder gently, and comforted her.
Being held in his arms and leaning against his solid chest, she could not help but shed tears silently. If she said she had no complaints, how could it be possible? She still couldn't sort out her mother's affairs. She only felt that her mother had taken care of her. Keeping yourself in the dark is actually the biggest mistake you can make.
Letting Grandma Ming swear an oath on her, and letting herself exercise her responsibilities unilaterally, is this what a biological mother should do? (To be continued)
