Mu Yun'an was stunned. She looked at Xiao Chengyi and forgot to react for a moment. Wang Zefang was also shocked. He stood up suddenly and walked out.
"how so?"
Mu Yun'an murmured, with a somewhat disappointed expression on his face: "I thought there would be no trouble in the second sister's marriage, but I didn't expect that there would be no deposed prince and King Jing. What do you think His Majesty is thinking?"
Xiao Chengyi said in a calm voice: "What else can I think of? It's just to give the second room a comfort."
He pulled Mu Yun'an to stand up and said, "Go and see Mu Yunhuan first and see what she thinks, and then we can think of a solution."
Mu Yun'an nodded, and she turned around and walked out of the room to see Mu Yunhuan.
After Wang Zefang asked the housekeeper to confirm that the imperial decree granting the marriage was correct, he stood there in a daze. Xiao Chengyi came over and asked him: "How do you feel now?"
Wang Zefang said gloomily: "Somewhat sudden and...lost."
Yes, he was disappointed. His cousin had intended to match him with Mu Yunhuan just a moment ago, but before he agreed, His Majesty's decree of marriage caught him off guard.
Is it better to marry into the royal family and become a concubine than to marry him?
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows and asked him: "Then what do you think? Do you really have that intention for Mu Yunhuan? If so, then snatch him back. Why are you standing here?"
Wang Zefang was silent, and then asked: "What kind of person is King Jing?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "Not bad, he is someone you can trust for life."
"That's good."
Wang Zefang smiled, but the smile was a little sad: "Maybe my second cousin and I are not destined to be together after all."
Xiao Chengyi heard the meaning of his words: "So, you are not going to fight for it? How come a mere imperial edict granting marriage is so difficult for you? Or is it that you don't really care about Mu Yunhuan that deeply?"
Wang Zefang didn't say anything, as if he acquiesced.
Xiao Chengyi snorted, flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked away.
At this time, everyone in the second room of the Mu family was also shocked by the imperial edict granting marriage.
Mu Zongping and Li did not expect that their daughter would be able to marry into the royal family and become a concubine after the crown prince was deposed.
In the past, they would have been happy when their daughter became the imperial concubine, but now they just feel uneasy, especially after what happened with Liu Lanxin, they have finally seen the emperor's intentions clearly.
But the imperial edict has been issued, everything is a foregone conclusion, and they can only accept it.
in the room.
Mu Yunhuan came back after receiving the imperial edict. She sat in a chair, lost in thought, until a voice came: "Second sister."
Mu Yun'an came over, held Mu Yunhuan's hand and looked at her dazed expression and asked, "Are you okay? I've heard about the marriage, what do you think?"
Mu Yunhuan smiled bitterly: "Now that things have happened, do my thoughts still matter? Will His Majesty change his mind because of my thoughts?"
She lowered her eyes, with uncontrollable sadness in her eyes.
Mu Yun'an felt a little distressed when she saw her like this. She asked, "Second sister, the person you like is cousin Zefang, right?"
Thinking of Wang Zefang, Mu Yunhuan felt even more uncomfortable. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and said, "So what? Now there is no possibility for me and cousin Zefang anymore."
Mu Yun'an frowned, feeling sad. Maybe it was because she loved Xiao Chengyi so much that she didn't want to see lovers who couldn't get married.
But what should she do to help her second sister and cousin Ze Fang?
