"This auspicious time has passed, why hasn't the groom come to welcome the bride yet?"

"That's right, nothing happened, right?"

"Ph, you crow's mouth."

Shangguan Yue sat in the upper position, his face getting darker and darker.

He had heard the whispers of the guests.

It has been half an hour since the auspicious time for weddings, and Mu Jingrui's wedding team has no trace yet.

He is the prime minister of a country, where should he put his face?

"master."

The housekeeper walked in pretending to be calm, leaned over to Shangguan Yue's ear and whispered to report: "The old slave has already gone to Mu Mansion to see it in person. Over there... he has removed all the big red lanterns at the door. And..."

Shangguan Yue was surprised and turned to look at the butler.

Such eyes made the butler swallow in horror, but he could only bite the bullet and continue talking.

"Mr. Mu sent off the guests and did not explain why. In short, it seems that he will not come to welcome the bride."

Shangguan Yue frowned and calmed down quickly. He had never doubted Mu Jingrui's sincerity towards Shangguan Wanning unless...

It was a change he didn't know.

"Send someone to find Jing Rui immediately and bring him to see me."

"Yes." The butler immediately walked away without hesitation.

Shangguan Wanning sat in front of the mirror, staring blankly at herself with exquisite makeup.

Today, she has been looking forward to it for a long time; but the facts are completely different from what she imagined.

Mu Jingrui hasn't come yet.

Why didn't he come?

How could he not come?

"Miss, have a cup of tea."

Lutong served Shangguan Wanning the longest time, and she could clearly feel Shangguan Wanning's anxiety and sadness at this time.

Shangguan Wanning remained motionless and had no reaction.

"Ning'er, don't worry, maybe Jingrui has delayed other important things." Mrs. Shangguan's dissatisfaction with Mu Jingrui had turned into anger, but she still comforted her daughter gently, "Let's wait a little longer."

This wait, from dawn to dark.

Mu Jingrui still didn't show up after all, and didn't even have an explanation.

Until the lights were in hand, Shangguan Yue still did not find Mu Jingrui. He dismissed the guests, as if he had grown much older in an instant.

"Ning'er, you haven't eaten anything in a day, can you eat something, okay?"

Mrs. Shangguan took the bird's nest porridge handed over by Lutong, blew it cooled and fed it to Shangguan Wanning's mouth, but she didn't react.

"Ning'er, don't do this, don't scare your mother." Mrs. Shangguan was worried that her daughter would be unable to think and dared not leave.

At this time, the eldest princess walked in with two close maids.

Mrs. Shangguan was about to get up and salute, but the eldest princess signaled her to sit down.

The eldest princess walked to Shangguan Wanning and sat down, gently holding her hand. "Ning'er, no matter what happens, you must take care of yourself. Be obedient and eat something, okay?"

Shangguan Wanning's tears suddenly slid from her eyes and muttered to herself: "He won't come...but why... how could he not come?"

The eldest princess and Mrs. Shangguan thought of each other.

"Ning'er, don't worry. Even if I search the entire capital, I will definitely find Mu Jingrui and let him kneel in front of you to admit his mistake." The eldest princess wiped Shangguan Wanning's tears with distress.

Suddenly, Shangguan Wanning seemed to have thought of something, and she eagerly held the eldest princess' hand.

"Can it be... something happened to Jing Rui? Aunt, I beg you to help me find him. Something must have happened to him..."

If something threatening to life had not happened, he would have never come.

Shangguan Wanning got up and was about to run out. Her sudden move caught everyone around her off guard.

"ah!"

Shangguan Wanning ran to the door, tripped on the threshold, and fell to the ground.

Mrs. Shangguan, the eldest princess, and the maids and nanny around them all went to help.

"I'm going to find Jing Rui..."

"Ning'er, calm down." Mrs. Shangguan held her daughter and cried, "There are already many people looking for him. Don't do this, be obedient and stay at home..."

"No, I'm going to find Jing Rui. Mom, I beg you, let me go..." Shangguan Wanning burst into tears, her heart as if she had been cut into pieces, and the pain was almost suffocating.

She felt dizzy. As soon as she stood up, she fainted again when she saw darkness in front of her eyes.

Mrs. Shangguan's face turned pale. "Hurry up, come here, come and find the doctor in the palace."

The civil strife in the mansion was in chaos, and Shangguan Yue and Zheng Binghong were in the study, and the atmosphere was very serious.

"Have you still not found Mu Jingrui?"

"If you want to know, no."

When I went out to find Mu Jingrui's guards, I didn't even dare to go out.

Zheng Binghong waved his hand to signal the guards to go out, and after pondering for a while, he said, "This matter... is probably a bit strange."

Shangguan Yue nodded in agreement, with a little more inquiry in his eyes.

"Strangely, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not come today."

Everyone in the court knew that Mu Jingrui was the prince's best friend.

Although Mu Jingrui is now the Minister of War, he is still very young than Shangguan Yue. He dares to lose all his face in such a day, and the only one who can protect him is Xiao Yujue.

Xiao Yujue did not appear today. Does it mean that this matter has been approved by Xiao Yujue?

"No matter what, I'll find Mu Jingrui first."

Zheng Binghong felt sorry for the grievances and hurts Shangguan Wanning suffered, and was also indignant.

The night is as bright as ink, the bright moon is in the sky, and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion is silent.

The servants were carefully removing all the red silk, for fear that Shangguan Wanning would be sad when she saw it.

Shangguan Wanning lay on the bed, her eyes staring blankly in front of her, her mind was blank.

Tonight, it was originally her and Mu Jingrui's wedding night, but she never thought that she would live alone.

Mrs. Shangguan and the eldest princess were both worried that Shangguan Wanning would do stupid things, so they stayed in the living room outside the room.

"Sir, I've found Lord Mu."

When the guards came back to report, Shangguan Yue and Zheng Binghong both jumped up from the chair.

"Where?"

"Mingxianglou. He refused to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet the Lord, and asked the Lord to see him."

A sharp light flashed through Shangguan Yue's eyes and he snorted coldly. "The airs are not small. OK, I'll go and meet him to see what explanation he has.---Prepare the sedan chair."

"I'll go with you."

"No," Shangguan Yue refused, saying, "Ning'er is emotionally unstable now, so you should stay and watch the house for me. Otherwise, if something happens, all the women in the room, I'm afraid they will lose their minds."

Zheng Binghong thought for a while and nodded.

Shangguan Yue rushed to Mingxiang Tower angrily and saw Mu Jingrui sitting alone in the lobby and drinking by himself.
