At night, the City Lord's Mansion was extremely lively.
"All of you, give me some. Tomorrow morning, we have to go to the Ming family to give the betrothal gifts. Don't get it wrong.”
"If anyone accidentally makes a mistake, I'll skin them alive.”
A middle-aged man in a black butler uniform was instructing a group of servants to prepare things.
"How's Shou Hai's preparation going?"
Dugu Ming walked over with a smug look on his face.
"Young City Lord, I'll get the servants to check again to prevent any mistakes. I guarantee that there won't be any problems tomorrow.”
The black-robed butler Shou Hai bowed to Dugu Ming.
"Haha!"
"Yes! Not bad, work hard, and no one will be rewarded.”
Dugu Ming patted his shoulder and praised him before turning around and leaving.
Shou Hai wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and turned to the group of servants."All of you, check carefully. Don't lose the face of the City Lord and the Young City Lord.”
The group of people checked even more carefully.
In the Ming family's courtyard.
As for Ye Feng not returning, grandma did not ask further, she only looked at Ming Yue who seemed a little off and did not bother about her anymore.
Ming Yue, who had just finished bathing and changing, walked towards her own room, she stopped in front of the room where Ye Feng used to stay, she pushed open the door, everything inside was neat and perfect, it was clean and refreshing.
Ming Yue couldn't help but curl the corner of her mouth. This was indeed very much like his style. His aura was still lingering in the room, but unfortunately, he was no longer there.
He left the room, closed the door slowly, and walked back to his own room.
She lay on the bed and looked at the stars outside the window.
In the bamboo forest outside the city, Ye Feng was leaning on his sword and looking at the starry sky.
……
The morning silence had yet to dissipate, Ye Feng slowly walked into the city in light green coarse clothes, the bamboo hat on his head slanted down to cover half of his peerless face, his entire body was emitting a faint sharp aura.
The passersby who were approaching suddenly felt as if they had been pricked by needles. They all avoided him. This was just something he had unintentionally emitted.
"Pa, pa, pa…"
Before they could get close to the City Lord, they heard the sound of firecrackers and drums.
A long line of people was walking out of the City Lord's Mansion towards the Ming family.
"I heard that the young city lord is going to propose marriage to the Ming family today. Now, there's wine to drink!”a passerby said.
"The Ming family! Isn't that Ming Yue? This is a good girl!" An old man with a walking stick said.
"What a pity. I heard that the young city lord's reputation is not very good for such a good girl!”The gossipy woman.
Ye Feng lowered his bamboo hat, looking at the Dugu father and son who were walking past him, his right hand gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, but he slowly loosened it.
"It's not time yet." He muttered softly and turned to leave.，
Dugu Yifang seemed to have sensed something. He looked around but didn't see anything. He thought it was his illusion.
In the Ming family's courtyard.
Ming Yue and her grandma, who were dressed in pale yellow robes, were taking care of the medicinal herbs.
"Dong dong dong!"
The sound of gongs and drums could be heard from afar.
Ming Yue was a little curious." Who's having a wedding?!" Why doesn't she know about it?!"
The voice came from afar and then came closer and closer. In the end, it stopped at the door of her house. Ming Yue immediately felt that something was wrong. Could it be that it was coming for her?
Dugu Yifang placed his hands behind his back and walked in with steady steps. His aura was like a rainbow, and behind him was Dugu Ming, who had a smug look on his face.
"Greetings, City Lord."
"Mingyue greets City Lord."
Ming Yue and Granny hurriedly bowed.
"There's no need to be so polite."
"I'm here today for the marriage between Miss Ming Yue and my son, Dugu Ming.”
Dugu Yifang cupped his hands and said.
"Oh!" Grandma's eyes lit up and she was delighted. She reached out and said,""City Lord, please come in."
Dugu Yifang and his grandma walked into the main hall.
Ming Yue and Dugu Ming walked behind him. As he walked, he would occasionally wink at Ming Yue.
Ming Yue, who was already extremely angry, became even angrier and no longer looked at him.
"Today, our Dugu family is proposing marriage to your Ming family.”Dugu Yifang looked at his grandma and said.
"City Lord Dugu personally came to propose marriage. It's our Ming family's fortune!”Grandma said with a happy expression.
Instantly, Ming Yue felt as if she had lost her soul. Her grandmother actually wanted to betroth her to Dugu Ming.
"No, I don't agree!"
"I don't want to marry Dugu Ming!" Ming Yue said angrily.
The atmosphere in the main hall dropped to the extreme.
"Humph!"
A cold snort sounded.
"It's not up to you to decide whether you agree or not. As the saying goes, it's the parents 'order and the matchmaker's words. Since I've already spoken, it's impossible to change it.”
Granny said coldly.
"But grandma, if you join Mingyue and marry into the Dugu family, who will take care of you?”
Ming Yue still wanted to work hard for herself.
As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Ming said,"If Mingyue enters the Dugu Family, then Granny will also be part of the family. I will arrange for the best servants to take care of her.”
"Miss Ming Yue, don't worry."
Dugu Ming smiled at Ming Yue.
"Young City Lord is very thoughtful." Granny smiled.
"Pa!"
Dugu Ming clapped his hands, and betrothal gifts were carried in one after another, filling the entire courtyard.
"This is the betrothal gift of our Dugu family. I hope you will be satisfied.”Dugu Yifang laughed.
"Haha, it's fine, it's fine."
Grandma looked at the betrothal gifts in the courtyard and smiled.
"There's one more thing that I need to discuss with you.”Dugu Yifang finally got to the point.
"Oh?" Grandma asked Dugu Yifang. What's the matter?"
Dugu Yifang deliberated for a moment before saying,""At that time, I hope that Ming Yue can bring the Unparalleled Yin Sword and marry into our Dugu family.”。
"When the time comes, Ming Yue and Ming 'er will be able to cultivate the Love of the City. It will be of great help to the stability of my Peerless City.”
Granny smiled and said," So it's about this. It's okay. Mingyue will bring the Unparalleled Yin Sword to the Dugu Family as a dowry."”
"Thank you for your help, Granny!" Dugu Ming bowed.
"In that case, we won't disturb you anymore.”
"Oh!"
"However, this wedding should be done quickly. The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day.”
"At that time, our Dugu family will hold a grand wedding to welcome Mingyue as our Dugu family's daughter-in-law.”
Dugu Yifang said to his grandma.
Ming Yue was so angry that she no longer looked at them because these people did not give her a chance to make a decision at all. They had already decided everything. Thus, she turned her head to look outside the door.
At this moment, a figure wearing a light green coarse cloth and a bamboo hat flashed past the door.
Although Ming Yue did not see his appearance, she knew that he was definitely Ye Feng from his clothes and aura.
She wanted to rush over to explain to him, but she was stunned.
She went to explain why. The two of them had nothing to do with each other anymore, so she felt sad.
By the time she came back to her senses, everyone had already dispersed.
The fourth chapter.
