An extremely ambiguous aura slowly spread out, causing the surrounding young women to be envious. Yun Xue Rao gritted her teeth as she looked at these two people. She was so angry that she was about to go crazy.
An Yichen quickly turned his head away, as if he was very unwilling to see such a scene.
He did not expect things to be so coincidental. The friend he valued the most was going to marry the person he liked…
This was the first time in his life that he had been moved, but he had died before he could even begin.
An Yichen held back the tears in his eyes and quietly left.
"Fourth, Fourth Prince, what is going on?”Grand Preceptor Yun was completely confused.
Murong Xuanyu smiled and took Yun Xuezhi's hand. He turned to face the crowd and said loudly,""Yesterday, this king met Miss Xuezhi in the palace and invited her to the residence as a guest. This king is to blame for being too greedy and getting drunk. Fortunately, Miss Xuezhi took good care of her…It was this king's fault for letting her stay overnight in the Xuan Mansion.”
As he spoke, Murong Xuanyu turned around and bowed slightly to Grand Preceptor Yun and Madame Yun.
Grand Preceptor Yun and Madame Yun immediately returned the greeting. They were so frightened that they did not dare to breathe loudly, not knowing how to resolve the situation in front of them.
"This king used his life to guarantee that he would never do anything beyond etiquette! However…" At this moment, he paused and looked down at Yun Xuezhi, the smile on his face deepening." After experiencing this matter, I am sure that I can spend the rest of my life with Miss Xuezhi, so I am here to formally propose marriage. I hope that the two elders will agree!"”
At this moment, everyone was in an uproar. They all looked at Yun Xuezhi with envy. How could they still remember the unhappiness from before?
"Uncle Yu, distribute the silver!" At this moment, he suddenly ordered.
Uncle Yu immediately came out from the crowd. He took out a cloth bag and said to everyone with a smile,"Today is a joyous day for our Xuan Mansion and the Yun Mansion. Since the eldest miss of the Yun family has already spoken, we naturally can't go back on our words. Let the Xuan Mansion distribute the silver ingots on behalf of us so that everyone can enjoy this joyous occasion!”
After saying that, he reached into the cloth bag, grabbed a handful of silver, and threw it into the sky.
Everyone immediately jumped up to snatch it, and the scene was very chaotic.
"Grand Preceptor Yun, Madam Yun, let's talk inside!”Murong Xuanyu turned around and said to Grand Preceptor Yun and his wife.
Grand Preceptor Yun seemed to wake up from a dream and nodded repeatedly."Good, good!"
Murong Xuanyu smiled and held Yun Xuezhi's hand as they slowly walked toward the main hall of the Residence of Yun.
Feeling the warmth of this man's palm, Yun Xuezhi's heart began to beat faster for some reason. She had always thought that a man's hands were cold and without a trace of warmth, just like Murong Chuyan, cold to the bone.
This was the second man who had held her hand, yet he was so different…
Unknowingly, the corners of Yun Xuezhi's mouth curled up into a smile, and her heart felt warm.
Yun Xue Rao looked at the two with hatred, her long nails digging into her palms.
She had never thought that this matter would be so roundabout!
Not only did her plan fail, but she also made that girl and the Fourth Prince's marriage a reality. Yun Xue Rao's heart was burning with jealousy. She wanted to burn this place down so that she wouldn't be upset.
Grand Preceptor Yun and Madame Yun sat down in the main hall. Murong Xuanyu respectfully served them two cups of tea and said solemnly,""Today, I, Murong Xuanyu, officially propose marriage to the two elders. I hope that Yun Xuezhi can marry into my Xuan Imperial Residence and become my princess!”
" Fourth Prince…" Although Madame Yun was smiling, there was a hint of unwillingness in her eyes." Xuezhi is only a concubine's child. I'm afraid it wouldn't be good for her to be the first wife of the Prince…"
As a mother, she naturally knew what her daughter was thinking. Although she was a little afraid of this man, she still wanted to fight for it.
Murong Xuanyu smiled and said softly,""There's nothing good about it! She is the person this king wants to marry. As long as this king nods, no one dares to disagree!”
Madam Yun couldn't help but shiver at this threatening answer. She turned to Yun Xue Rao, gritted her teeth, and forced a smile."But Your Highness, our Yun Residence is still a wealthy family. If you come empty-handed to propose marriage, our Yun Residence will be laughed at by others!”
Grand Preceptor Yun glared at Madam Yun, indicating for her to stop talking. He then looked up at Murong Xuanyu as if waiting for his answer.
Murong Xuanyu didn't panic at all. He took out a jade ruyi from his sleeve and handed it to Grand Preceptor Yun with both hands.
"If you use gold, silver, and silk to propose marriage, this king will find it tacky. This jade Ruyi comes from Xiao Yao Palace and is made of suet jade. It gathers the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. If it is placed at the bedside, it can remove poison and ward off cold, and has the effect of prolonging life!”
Hearing Murong Xuanyu's explanation, Grand Preceptor Yun immediately jumped up from his armchair.
When he received the jade scepter, he felt that it was crystal clear and exquisite. It must be a rare treasure, but he didn't expect it to have such a background!
Seeing his agitated expression, Madam Yun asked in confusion,"Master, this is just a piece of jade. Don't we have a lot of it in our residence?”
"What nonsense are you spouting? Shut up if you don't understand!" Grand Preceptor Yun glared at Madam Yun." Xiao Yao Palace is the number one demonic palace in the world. No one knows where it is or who is inside. That place was full of ghosts and monsters, but it was also the place with the most spiritual energy. As long as one stayed there for a few days, they could live for another ten years…This was a rare treasure!”
"Grand Preceptor Yun is really knowledgeable!" Murong Xuanyu smiled.
"Your Highness, I am truly grateful that you are willing to part with me!”Grand Preceptor Yun held the jade Ruyi in his arms, afraid that it would be taken away.
"Then Grand Preceptor, do you agree to this marriage?”Murong Xuanyu turned to look at Yun Xuezhi.
"Of course! Of course!" Grand Preceptor Yun hurriedly nodded. He had long been overwhelmed by the joy of obtaining a treasure, so how could he remember Yun Xue Rao's previous warning?
Yun Xuezhi looked at Murong Xuanyu in surprise. That jade ruyi was obviously not an ordinary item. Its value was enough to exchange for several carriages of gold. Where did this man get this rare treasure?
"On the eighth day of next month, this prince will go to the residence to marry Miss Xuezhi!”
"Alright, alright…"
Murong Xuanyu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly walked to Yun Xuezhi and said in a low voice,""Follow me, I still have something to ask you!”
Yun Xuezhi looked at Murong Xuanyu in surprise, but her eyes met with his clear eyes. She immediately lowered her head, her heart beating wildly.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Murong Xuanyu gently held her slender waist and said with a smile,""Grand Preceptor Yun, can I borrow my daughter?”
"Please! Go ahead!" Grand Preceptor Yun couldn't stop smiling.
"Where to?" Yun Xuezhi asked in a low voice.
"Just follow me!" As he spoke, Murong Xuanyu increased the strength in his hands and dragged her out of the Residence of Yun.
At this moment, Yun Xue Rao couldn't hold back her anger anymore. She screamed and ran to her room.
Madam Yun was extremely worried and immediately chased after him.
She ran back to Lily House and closed the door with a bang. Then, she fell on the bed and burst into tears.
It was all over now! The Fourth Prince had already set a wedding date, and it was less than a month away from now. Was he really going to miss out on the person he liked?
"Xue Rao, open the door!”Madam Yun knocked on the door as she tried to persuade him worriedly.
She glared at the door. It's all your fault! She actually agreed to this marriage with joy…Mother, I've already said that I won't marry anyone other than the Fourth Prince in this life!”
"Okay, okay, okay…Let's talk about this after we open the door, okay?”Madam Yun was so anxious that her forehead was covered in sweat.
"At this point, what else can we do?”Yun Xue Rao said hatefully. She seemed to remember something and asked word by word," Mother, can you help me get rid of that girl?" Just like back then…"
"Xue Rao!" Madam Yun suddenly snapped, interrupting her. After a long while, she said softly," If you have anything to say, it's not too late to wait until you open the door…"
Seeing her answer, Yun Xue Rao was overjoyed. She wiped her tears and quickly opened the door.
Madam Yun looked at Yun Xue Rao with a pained expression and frowned."Your mother must think of a way!"
"But, time is running out!" Yun Xue Rao became anxious again.
Madame Yun smiled as if she remembered something and whispered to Yun Xue Rao.
"Will it work?" Yun Xue Rao was suspicious.
"This is called killing with a borrowed knife! If this move doesn't work, Mother will think of another way!”
"Thank you, Mother!" Yun Xue Rao's tears turned into a smile as she hugged Madam Yun tightly.
"Silly girl!" Madam Yun hugged Yun Xue Rao tightly, but a fierce look flashed in her eyes. She only had one precious daughter in her life. For her, she was willing to go to hell!
"Uncle Yu, you can go back first!" Murong Xuanyu said to Uncle Yu, who was following behind him.
Uncle Yu glanced at Yun Xuezhi, unable to hide the joy on his face."Wangye, this lowly one understands!" After saying that, he left happily.
"Where are you taking me?" At this moment, Yun Xuezhi had already calmed down and replied with a complicated expression.
Murong Xuanyu didn't say anything. He just held her hand tightly and strode forward.
Yun Xuezhi struggled for a while but it was futile. She could only follow behind him.
The two of them formed a very eye-catching scene, attracting the attention of passers-by, who were full of admiration and praise.
After making eight turns to the left, Murong Xuanyu stopped in front of an inconspicuous courtyard.
Yun Xuezhi looked up and saw the words "Hundred Herbs House" written on the plaque.
"Where is this place?" Yun Xuezhi was extremely surprised.
Murong Xuanyu didn't say anything. He pulled her and pushed open the wooden door of the courtyard.
A man in purple was sitting on a stone chair. He held a book in his left hand and some dried flowers in his right hand. He seemed to be studying something.
"Why didn't you knock?" Seeing Murong Xuanyu, the man did not seem surprised at all. He only frowned unhappily.
