Chapter 59 The Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion is Getting Married
Mu Jingrui and Mu Jingyan rushed back to the capital with the evidence. Mu Jingyan was very excited along the way.
"Brother, when we return to the capital and hand over the evidence to His Highness the Crown Prince, we can clear our parents' names. By then, you and I will no longer be slaves, and we can start over."
Mu Jingrui looked at his sister, smiled reluctantly, and nodded lightly.
He was not as relaxed as Mu Jingyan. He never figured out which side Shangguan Yue was on in the whole matter.
"Brother, I'm so hungry. Let's go out to eat something now and then go back to the Crown Princess. I know you will be very busy in the next few days, and we don't have time to sit down and eat together."
Mu Jingrui would not refuse any request from his sister, so he took her to a teahouse and found a seat by the window to sit down.
He looked around casually and found people from the government cleaning the streets. The atmosphere seemed a little different.
"Waiter, why did the government think of rectifying the streets?" Mu Jingrui asked while the waiter was pouring tea.
"You don't know this? My guest, you just came back from outside, right? It has spread throughout the capital that the second prince is about to marry the young lady from the Prime Minister's Palace as his concubine. Although he is only marrying a concubine, after all, he is also a concubine.
The face of the royal family and the Prime Minister’s Office, so..."
Mu Jingrui couldn't listen to what the waiter said next, and his brain exploded with a "boom".
In less than a month after he left, Shangguan Wan Ning was about to get married. Moreover, she was still married to Xiao Zhenting as a concubine.
The side concubine is just a concubine, and she is actually willing to do so.
Mu Jingrui treated the water in the cup as wine and drank it all in one gulp. A sharp and piercing light flashed across his eyes.
Mu Jingyan felt that the temperature around him dropped sharply. Even the waiter who served the tea noticed something strange and quickly retreated.
"Brother, forget it..." Mu Jingyan couldn't bear to see his brother sad and tried to persuade him, "She and we are not the same people. After dad recovers his innocence, you will still be an upright and loyal queen. With your ability, in the future
It’s easy to get ahead, so why worry about not having a famous lady to match you?”
Mu Jingrui said nothing, stood up and walked out.
"Brother, where are you going?" Mu Jingyan hurriedly took his brother's hand. She was a little scared and her eyes became red. "Don't leave me. You are the only relative I have."
"You go back first, I'll go do some errands, and I'll meet you back at the Crown Princess before dark."
Say it, Mu Jingrui withdrew his hand and strode away.
He arrived at the door of the Prime Minister's Palace, which was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. The tall mansion and compound, and even the stone lions at the door, seemed to be mocking him for not being able to climb up.
Mu Jingrui clenched his fists, and scenes of Shangguan Wanning acting coquettishly towards him flashed through his mind.
How much of what she said to him was true?
Shangguan Wan Ning was practicing calligraphy in the study, concentrating and trying to forget the noisy sounds outside.
However……
From the corner of her eye, she could always see the pink wedding dress placed on the other side.
The tip of the pen slipped and the entire calligraphy was destroyed.
Shangguan Wan Ning dropped the pen in annoyance, crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it out.
The paper ball rolled slightly, and her eyes caught sight of a pair of slender legs. She raised her head and met a pair of deep eyes.
"You're back?"
Shangguan Wan Ning suddenly became enlightened, and all her anxiety and uneasiness calmed down.
Only then did she realize that, in fact, she had been thinking about Mu Jingrui in her heart.
"Are you disappointed that I can come back safely?"
Mu Jingrui's cold voice immediately extinguished Shangguan Wan Ning's enthusiasm.
Her face darkened and her tone of voice lost its good tone.
"I don't care if you can come back. Mr. Mu, this is my study after all. It's unreasonable for you to break in without permission. Please come back before anyone notices it."
Shangguan Wan Ning's attitude made Mu Jingrui even more angry. He suddenly arrived in front of Shangguan Wan Ning and grabbed her wrist, with a cruel light in his eyes.
"Isn't that reasonable? Please tell me what is considered etiquette." Mu Jingrui tried his best to suppress his outburst of emotions, "The engagement between you and me has not been cancelled, but you can't wait to marry the second prince as your concubine. Is this so?
Is this a gift from your Shangguan family?"
Shangguan Wan Ning was stunned for a moment. The anger in her eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a gentle smile.
"You're scratching me hurts, let go first."
Shangguan Wan Ning's change of attitude left Mu Jingrui a little confused and in a dilemma.
Seeing that he was not moving, Shangguan Wanning didn't struggle at all. She raised her head and looked at him and asked, "Who told you that I want to marry Xiao Zhenting?"
Mu Jingrui was startled, looked at the wedding dress, and sneered: "Do I need anyone else to tell me? The news has spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital. The young lady from the Shangguan family is going to marry into the second prince's palace as a concubine."
Shangguan Wan Ning withdrew her hand forcefully, straightened her chest and said proudly: "If I, Shangguan Wan Ning, get married, I will never be a concubine. Even if I want to, my parents will not agree."
Mu Jingrui frowned slightly, lowered his eyelids and said nothing.
It seems...it does make sense.
With Shangguan Yue's love for her and the protection of her grandfather's family, how could she marry a fallen prince as a concubine?
"I'm not the only lady from the Shangguan family."
An idea flashed in Mu Jingrui's mind.
"Is it your sister Shangguan Xiaoxiao who is going to marry Xiao Zhenting?"
"Otherwise, what do you think? Is it me?" Shangguan Wanning took a few steps towards Mu Jingrui, stretched out her hand and poked his chest, "Mu Jingrui, why are you so nervous? Are you... reluctant to let go?
I?"
Mu Jingrui's face suddenly turned red. He turned his back to avoid Shangguan Wan Ning's probing gaze. He clenched his fists to calm himself and denied, "No."
For a long time, there was no sound from behind.
He suddenly felt regretful.
If he said this, would it hurt her heart?
Mu Jingrui immediately turned around, and sure enough, he saw Shangguan Wan Ning lowering her head, looking sad and disappointed.
"Actually... I didn't mean that..." Mu Jingrui's thoughts were a little confused. He couldn't help but grab Shangguan Wan Ning's hand, "I meant..."
"Pfft!"
Shangguan Wan Ning couldn't help laughing.
Mu Jingrui found out that he had been fooled again.
"You are so easy to be fooled. You are not suitable for three wives and four concubines in the future, because you don't know how to trick people at all."
Mu Jingrui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but his face remained expressionless. "So what you mean is that I'm not allowed to take concubines, right?"
Now it was Shangguan Wan Ning's turn to blush. "Who said I wanted to marry you? Don't you doubt my father now?"
