Chapter 2433 - 2430: Wedding
"This matter originally had nothing to do with you."
"Consider it your reward for helping me with the drug research. Even between blood brothers, accounts have to be settled clearly. A give-and-take is only human nature." Ye Muyu lifted a hand, stopping him from continuing.
In the end, Lu Sangqi did not refuse further.
"Is your marriage arranged? When is it?" Ye Muyu asked.
"It’s settled for the middle of next month, that’s the nearest date." Lu Sangqi couldn’t suppress a hint of joy at the corners of his mouth.
Su Lan smiled, "That’s great."
"Sister, about the Qi family..." Lu Sangqi mentioned the matter and his mood completely relaxed, feeling at ease.
"Don’t worry about it, the Qi family is too busy with their own affairs now." Ye Muyu wouldn’t act without preparation.
The Qi family is not easy to deal with.
She had been sending people to gather evidence against the Qi family.
But things are not so easily accomplished.
The evidence currently in hand is not enough to topple the Qi family. Taking advantage of their inability to respond, she plans to open more workshops to accumulate wealth.
If she previously chose to move cautiously, since Chu Heng’s incident, she couldn’t slow down anymore.
With Emperor Xuanming growing older, the day of seizing power will eventually come to the forefront. If efforts are made only then, the opportunity will be lost, leaving only the result of being used by others.
Seeing off Lu Sangqi.
Ye Muyu utilized all the silver in the residence, investing continuously, causing the funds to grow more and more.
Gradually,
The day for Chu Ziluo’s marriage arrived.
Three days prior,
The betrothal gifts from Prince Rong’s Mansion filled the Chu family, even the Emperor, Dowager Empress, and Empress from the Imperial Palace sent rewards.
On the wedding day, the Chu family was even more bustling.
Chu Cai took leave from the yamen, and along with Madam Wang and the children, arrived early at the Chu family.
Ye Muyu also changed into a festive imperial command attire, appearing very grand.
She arranged for Su Mei and Madam Wang to receive guests together.
When the auspicious hour arrived, Prince Rong had already entered the Chu family.
With his status, naturally, no one dared to stop him from fetching the bride.
Soon, Chu Ziluo, supported by the Madam of Etiquette, arrived at the main hall with Prince Rong.
Amid the blessings of the people, they saluted to Ye Muyu.
Ye Muyu handed over the prepared gift to them both.
Looking at Chu Ziluo under the red bridal veil, an indescribable feeling arose in her heart. She then looked at the dignified Prince Rong and softly said, "Zhongjin, from now on Ziluo is entrusted to you. I hope you both have a harmonious and long-lasting marriage."
"My lady, I will."
Even on this wedding day, Prince Rong’s status dictated that he couldn’t address Ye Muyu as Mother, but his change in self-reference showed his sincerity.
Both of them understood each other’s meaning.
Ye Muyu nodded.
The auspicious hour had arrived.
Li Chongjin looked at the figure beside him in the bright red wedding attire, held her hand, and left the Chu family together.
He personally saw her into the bridal sedan, mounted the leading horse himself, and amidst the sounds of gongs and drums, followed by the dowry procession, they were joyously carried into Prince Rong’s Mansion.
When Chu Ziluo and Li Chongjin were paying their respects to heaven and earth, an Imperial Decree arrived outside.
Though Emperor Xuanming hadn’t come in person, he sent wedding gifts, signaling to all that Li Chongjin, this Prince Rong, held a position of importance in the Emperor’s eyes. Naturally, more people at the banquet sought to connect and engage with him warmly.
When Li Chongjin finished toasting and returned to the bridal chamber, the rich scent of alcohol clung to him.
Chu Ziluo waited for him to lift her red bridal veil, her charming face lifting to look at him
