Mu Jingrui and Shangguan Wan Ning paid their respects in the presence of Huo Gang and Wuji Sect disciples.
In the bridal chamber, when Mu Jingrui lifted Shangguan Wan Ning's red hijab and looked at her charming and shy face, her heart was filled with excitement.
He hugged Shangguan Wan Ning into his arms, lowered his head to kiss her lips.
"Hey, wait a minute."
Shangguan Wan Ning put her hands on Mu Jingrui's chest and turned her head away from his kiss.
"What's wrong?"
Mu Jingrui felt as if a fire was burning in his body at this time, making his thoughts boil.
Wait a moment? Still have to wait?
"There are still important things that haven't been done?" Shangguan Wan Ning said, blinking her clear eyes.
Mu Jingrui grabbed Shangguan Wan Ning's hand. "Think about the most important things. Ning'er, you know how long I have been waiting for this day."
Although he had obtained her before, it was a long time ago after all.
What's more, at that time, their reputation was not upright, but now, she is a serious Mrs. Mu.
"The teacher taught me that before... that, I have to drink the combined quilt wine first, otherwise the ceremony will not be completed."
Mu Jingrui showed a helpless expression, stood up, walked to the table and poured two glasses of wine.
Shangguan Wan Ning took it and held it in her hand, and the two of them drank a glass of wine carefully.
"Ning'er, from now on, you will be my wife. I will protect you, take care of you, and accompany you for the rest of my life. I will not let you suffer any injustice."
"Jing Rui, I will also take care of you, love you, share weal and woe with you, and depend on you for life and death."
A tender smile appeared at the corner of Mu Jingrui's mouth. He lifted Shangguan Wan Ning's chin and kissed her lips gently.
Tonight, his possession of her was a matter of course.
There was a breeze blowing gently outside the window, and the branches in the yard swayed with the breeze. The stars in the night sky twinkled, emitting a gentle light.
A meteor fell with a long tail, creating a gorgeous scenery.
It's late at night and everything is silent.
Mu Jingrui looked at Shangguan Wan Ning, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and couldn't help but reach out and gently rub her cheek.
The best future he can think of now is to wake up every morning and see her smile.
Mu Jingrui's heart was full of tenderness. He kissed Shangguan Wan Ning's eyebrows gently and subconsciously strengthened his arms to hold her.
Suddenly, there was the sound of subtle footsteps outside the door, pacing back and forth as if anxious.
Mu Jingrui frowned slightly.
He gently pulled out the arm that was pillowed by Shangguan Wan Ning, tiptoed out of bed, picked up a piece of clothing from the screen and put it on.
"Muda people."
Huo Gang was hesitating whether to wake up Mu Jingrui and Shangguan Wan Ning.
When he saw Mu Jingrui coming out of the room, he couldn't let go of the huge stone hanging in his heart.
"What's the matter?" Mu Jingrui asked in a low voice.
"My subordinate just... received news from the capital that Madam Shangguan... passed away."
Mu Jingrui's expression suddenly changed, and his whole heart was lifted.
"Died? When? Why did you die?"
"Yesterday afternoon, I heard that he died suddenly and suddenly."
Huo Gang had a very good impression of Mrs. Shangguan.
When their brother and sister were in trouble, they were taken in by Shangguan Wan Ning. When he was away on business, Shangguan's wife took good care of Su Mo.
In his memory, Shangguan's wife had never yelled at any servant.
She is virtuous, modest, kind and gentle, but her body has always been weak.
Such people... shouldn't have such a short life.
"Mr. Mu, the eldest lady has a deep love for the official's wife as mother and daughter. I'm afraid I can't hide this matter from her..."
"I know."
Mu Jingrui never thought of hiding it, even though he knew Shangguan Wan Ning would be heartbroken. "I'll tell her, you go and rest."
Huo Gang nodded, turned and left.
Mu Jingrui stood outside the door for a while, trying his best to organize his words so that Shangguan Wan Ning could accept it.
He took a deep breath and was stunned the moment he pushed the door open.
Shangguan Wan stood blankly behind the door, her face ashen and tears streaming down her face.
"Ning'er..."
Mu Jingrui hurriedly stepped forward and held her in his arms. "Ning'er, don't be afraid...it will make you feel better if you cry..."
On their wedding night, Mu Jingrui really didn't expect to receive such bad news.
He felt Shangguan Wan Ning trembling violently in his arms, so he patted her back gently.
"My mother...is dead, I will never see her again..."
Shangguan Wan Ning felt that the whole world had collapsed.
She came back from rebirth and changed her fate of being slaughtered by Xiao Zhenting in her previous life; she became a disciple of Lu Xiangzi because she wanted to learn medical skills and take good care of her mother; but in the end...
The Yiyong Hou Mansion no longer exists, leaving only her uncle Zheng Binghong; her father is on the opposite side, causing a gap between father and daughter; even the mother she wanted to protect the most died...
"No more... I have nothing left..." Shangguan Wan Ning held Mu Jingrui's arm tightly, her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't speak.
"No, Ning'er... you still have me. I'm still here, don't be afraid..."
Mu Jingrui has experienced the pain of losing a loved one, and he knows that any words of comfort at this time are in vain.
He could only hold Shangguan Wan Ning tightly and let her cry heartily.
"mother……"
Shangguan Wan Ning was heartbroken, her breathing became rapid, her vision went dark and she fainted.
"Ning'er."
Mu Jingrui hurriedly carried her back to the bed and asked Huo Gang to go find a doctor nearby.
When Shangguan Wan Ning woke up again, what caught her eyes were Mu Jingrui's anxious eyes.
Huge sadness and desolation came over her, her heart was cut by a knife, but she no longer had the strength to cry.
She suddenly felt that her heart had become as hard as iron the moment she learned of her mother's death.
"How long have I been asleep?" Shangguan Wan Ning asked in a low voice.
"Just one morning."
Mu Jingrui helped Shangguan Wanning sit up.
She looked out the window and saw a ray of bright sunshine falling on the potted plants on the windowsill.
Tears once again blurred my vision, but did not fall.
She looked at Mu Jingrui and murmured to herself: "Jing Rui... From now on, I will only have you in this world..."
"I know. Ning'er, I will always hold your hand and I will never let you down."
Mu Jingrui crossed Shangguan Wan Ning's fingers and looked at her firmly.
Shangguan Wan Ning lowered her eyelids, feeling so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe.
"Mr. Mu, the eldest lady."
Huo Gang knocked on the door and reported: "The imperial court has soldiers chasing us. It's not safe here. We have to leave immediately."
"good."
Mu Jingrui had made up his mind not to return to the capital, and Shangguan Wan Ning's current condition worried him even more.
"Ning'er, you rest for a while, I'll take care of you, and then we leave here first."
