Chapter 55

It was late at night during the summer.
A cool night breeze blew past, and the air was filled with the sound of cicadas chirping.
The bright moon was in the sky, and the stars were shining brightly.
Tonight was the best time to get married.Gu Xue sat in front of the dressing table.
Everything here was so familiar, but things were different.
She could only stay in her memories.Murong Dandan was carefully combing Gu Xue's hair when she smiled, "Xue Er, you're very beautiful today.
You're the most beautiful bride I've ever seen.
I wish you well!""Dandan, thank you." After hearing Murong Dandan's words, Guxue turned around and held Murong Dandan's hand.
Then, he smiled and said, "How is it?
Have you figured it out?"Murong Dandan naturally understood what Guxue meant.
He lowered his brows and looked at Guxue with a serious nod, "Mm.""That's good." Guxue was overjoyed to see Murong Dandan understand the situation.
She turned around, picked up a piece of red paper, and gently pursed it to her lips.
Then, she smiled faintly like a beautiful flower."Do you know, Dandan?
When I went to Minghua Temple today, I met an old monk.
He told me that we should just let the past go with the passing of our memories.
We can't control the future.
Therefore, we have to grasp today and cherish the person before us!
Hehe..." Guxue had already comprehended the monk's words, so he told Murong Dandan happily..After hearing Guxue's words, Murong Dandan furrowed his brows and contemplated carefully.
After speaking, Guxue gently applied some rouge on his face.
These things were given to him by his father when he was still alive.
Back then, he often dressed up as a boy, so he didn't use them much.
Who would have thought that they would be used today?Guxue clasped his hands together and mumbled in his heart, "Let these rouges witness my wedding with Mujie in place of my father's.
We will definitely be happy."Duan Mujie had already finished testing his clothes.
He stood in front of the bronze mirror and turned around."Mm, he's quite handsome!
Haha..." Wudong said happily as he stood behind her."That's a must." Duan Mujie shook Liuhai's forehead and smiled at Wudong.
"When are you getting married, kid?"Duan Mujie walked over and patted Wudong on the shoulder.
This was an intimate gesture that his buddies usually did.Wudong lowered his head and smiled softly.
Then, he placed his finger under his nose and sniffed.
Then, he looked up at Duan Mujie, "As long as she agrees, we'll get married.""Haha, let's go find Gu Xue." Duan Mujie smiled happily and walked out.Murong Dandan had already finished combing Guxue's hair.
Guxue carefully picked up the beautiful golden phoenix crown and carefully stroked it.
This was something that his mother had worn when she married her father.
Today, he would have to wear this phoenix crown and marry Mujie.Guxue smiled faintly and said to Murong Dandan, "Sister, help me put it on."Murong Dandan looked at Gu Xue in red and the gleaming phoenix crown.
His eyes were wet.
Didn't women want to marry a woman who loved them?"Mm." Murong Dandan nodded vigorously, tears almost flowing out of his eyes."What's wrong, sister?
Are you crying?" Guxue asked worriedly, noticing the flickering tears in Murong Dandan's eyes."It's fine.
I'm just a little excited." Murong Dandan smiled as he helped Guxue wear his phoenix crown."Haha, it's not that difficult.
Didn't big sis already see Wudong's sincerity today?
Why don't big sis have a wedding with us?" Guxue smiled and comforted Murong Dandan.
Her smile was very innocent."This..." Murong Dandan was a little embarrassed.
He didn't know what to say.By this time, Duan Mujie and Wudong had already walked in."Sigh, Mujie, why did you come in?" Guxue asked excitedly.Wudong and Murong Dandan looked at each other, communicating with each other with their eyes."Let me see if you're ready." Duan Mujie looked at Gu Xue and smiled.
"You're pretty!""Aiya, it's not like you haven't seen her wearing red makeup before.
Why would you say that?" Gu Xue lowered her head and said shyly.Murong Dandan felt somewhat embarrassed by Wudong's gaze.
She turned her head away and didn't look at Wudong anymore.
Murong Dandan looked at Duan Mujie and Guxue, who were still spouting nonsense, and smiled faintly, "The auspicious hour has arrived.
Hurry up and go to the ceremony.""Mm." Gu Xue smiled happily at Murong Dandan.
Then, she looked at Duan Mujie reluctantly and said, "Hurry up and leave."Duan Mujie blinked at Gu Xue, then left.
Wudong's gaze, which had been fixed on Murong Dandan all this time, shifted, and followed Duan Mujie out.Gu Xue covered her head with a red head and Murong Dandan carefully helped her over the threshold.In the middle of the wedding room was a large red word.
The red candles were burning happily, emitting golden light to bless the two newcomers.Duan Mujie wore a large red flower on his chest, waiting for the bride's arrival.
Not long after, Murong Dandan came with Gu Xue.Gu Xue's concubines sat on the chairs under the word 'Joyous', smiling as they waited for the two newcomers' wedding ceremony.
Back then, when they were young, they had also been married to Ping Yangwang in the same way.
However, that time was much livelier than now.The old housekeeper was directing the only few maids in the mansion to cook in the kitchen.
Although this place was not as lively as before, if the princess could be happy, it would be enough.In the main hall, Guxue and Duan Mujie were in the middle of their wedding ceremony.
As soon as the two of them finished their toasts to their concubines, the two of them exchanged greetings.
The entire hall erupted with applause and applause.Tears had already poured out of Murong Dandan's eyes, and she could no longer control her emotions.
Wudong saw the tears on Murong Dandan's face and walked over to gently hug her.The two of them watched as Guxue and Duan Mujie walked into the room, hand in hand.Several concubines were also very touched.
Their faces were filled with tears of happiness.After the banquet, Murong Dandan and Wudong sat on the roof.
None of them said a word.
Summer nights were quiet, and the occasional sounds of frogs could be heard."It's so desolate here." Murong Dandan looked at the dried up weeds in the courtyard and said sadly, "Look, the grass in the courtyard has withered.
It's summer now, so they should be flourishing.""It's fine." Wudong placed his hand on Murong Dandan's shoulder and continued, "Aren't Xue Er and Mujie already married?
A year later, we'll be able to create a small life.
However, isn't that a bit too little?
Why don't we get married soon and have a lot of children too?""Screw you." Murong Dandan rolled his eyes at Wudong, turned his head away and ignored him.
In fact, she was already extremely nervous."Are you sure you don't want to marry me?" Wudong moved his lips closer, causing Murong Dandan's face to itch."Go." Murong Dandan nudged Wudong, trying to keep him away from her.
She really wasn't used to this."No, I'll stick to you." Wudong drew his face closer and hugged Murong Dandan, pouting."What are you doing?!" Murong Dandan was horrified by Wudong's actions.
He hurriedly turned his head around and coincidentally caught Wudong's lips.Their lips were glued together, as if they were attracted by an invisible force.Inside the room, Guxue and Duan Mujie had already drunk their wine, sat on the bed, and looked at each other."Why are you staring at me all the time?
Pervert!" Guxue rolled his eyes at Duan Mujie."Sigh, you're already my wife, yet you're still talking to me like this!
Don't you know that women have to abide by the virtues of morality and virtues?" Duan Mujie didn't back down either."What?
Are you marrying me because you want to control me?" Gu Xue pouted, obviously unhappy."Uh..." Three drops of sweat appeared on Duan Mujie's forehead.
"I was just kidding.
Why would I care about Raka?
I'll take good care of you.
When I wake up in the morning, I'll pay my respects to you, okay?
I'll also make meals, wash my clothes, wash my bowls, and clean my hygiene...
All in all, I'll do all the work I need to do.
I won't let you suffer.""...""Haha..." Gu Xue covered her mouth and smiled.
She looked at Duan Mujie's silly look and said, "I was just kidding.
I'm not as narrow-minded as you are.""Eh, you're so bad!
You're so bad!" Duan Mujie pretended to be wronged.
After about a minute, Duan Mujie continued, "Xue Er, don't you think our manor is a little cold?""Mm." Gu Xue sighed softly when she heard Duan Mujie's words."Then..." Duan Mujie placed his arm on Guxue's shoulder and whispered, "Why don't we hurry up and create human beings?""You..." Gu Xue was shy and wanted to say something, but before she could finish, Duan Mujie's lips were tightly wrapped around hers, and the two of them intertwined.It wasn't long before Guxue's body began to sting, like an explosion of soap bubbles.
She almost screamed out loud.
Duan Mujie's lips met in time, and Guxue's voice drowned her stomach.In spring ten years later, the flowers in the residence of the Prince of Pingyang bloomed beautifully.
Peony recklessly spat out a fragrance, and the Peony Flower bloomed like a raging fire.The morning sun shone with golden light, shrouding the courtyard in a blissful and warm golden color."Hey, Yuxun, don't run!
Don't fall!" Guxue shouted nervously from behind."Madam, don't chase after her.
You're pregnant now, so you have to pay attention to your health.
" A little maid dressed in green said worriedly, "I'll go and get Miss back.
""Eniang, I want to play with Xiaoxi, don't chase after me!" Duan Yuxun shouted at Gu Xue."Ahh, this child..." Guxue looked at Yuxun and chuckled softly.
Then, he looked at the servant girl who had gone after Yuxun and said, "Xiaocui, don't chase after her anymore.
Look at her carefully and don't let her fall.""Yes, Madam." The maidservant named Xiaocui bowed and ran over."Xue Er, what are you standing at the doorway for?
You're pregnant now, so you need to take care of yourself." Duan Mujie walked in through the door and looked at Gu Xue with some resentment, his eyes filled with love for her."I'm fine.
Just now, Yuxun was running to play with Xiaoxi.
I was afraid that she would fall, so I told her to slow down." Guxue smiled and said to Duan Mujie."Heh heh.
It's the time for children to play.
Ever since Wudong and Dandan moved out ten years ago, there hasn't been any news of them ever since." Duan Mujie paused for a moment.
The past had surfaced in front of him like a tidal wave, whether it was happy or sad.Gu Xue's expression turned solemn, and her voice was somewhat aged, "That's right.
At that time, I thought that they would live with us, and then the two families would have a good relationship...
But, I didn't expect..."The scene from ten years ago appeared in front of Gu Xue's eyes.On the sixth day after their wedding, Guxue and Duan Mujie made a lot of dishes and wanted to celebrate with Wudong and Murong Dandan.
However, when Guxue happily went to Murong Dandan's room to look for her, he didn't see her.Gu Xue thought that Murong Dandan had gone to Wudong's room, but when she walked to his room, she didn't see Wudong.
She had thought that the two of them would be back in a while, but she hadn't seen them again.When Gu Xue thought of this, tears welled up in her eyes."Eniang, why are you crying?" A childish voice asked."It's nothing.
I was just thinking about my mother-in-law's two very good friends when she was young." Guxue's eyes stared into the air.
Then, he suddenly remembered something.
"Eh?
Yuxun, didn't you go out to play?""Xiaoxi isn't home, so I came back." Yuxun's voice was sweet and pleasant to the ear."Xue Er, don't even think about it.
Let's head back into the room.
I'm sure Dandan and Wudong are enjoying themselves!" Wudong said to Gu Xue as he picked up his nettle."Mm." Gu Xue nodded and walked into the house.All of a sudden, he heard the cries of the children in the room.
It was the twins who had woken up.
Guxue ran over to the bedside, picked one up, and said to Duan Mujie, "Quick, cheer that one up."Duan Mujie put down the nettles in his arms and walked over to pick up another one.Yuxun grabbed onto the table's legs and looked at Guxue and Duan Mujie.
He pouted.
Ever since he had his younger brother and sister, Eniang and his father hadn't cared about him that much.
He had been carrying his younger brother and sister all this time, and had become much colder to himself.
Sometimes, Yuxun would wake up in his dreams, and then hide in his bed and cry."Master, Madam, look, who's outside!" A steward in his fifties ran in and said excitedly."Who?!" Duan Mujie asked eagerly.By this time, Wudong and Murong Dandan had already entered the room."Wudong, Dandan!" Guxue couldn't believe his eyes when he saw them.
"It's really you!""Haha, that's right!
We're back!" Murong Dandan said excitedly, "I thought you guys were staying somewhere else.
It took me a long time to find out that you're still staying here.""What are you still standing there for?
Come in and have a seat!" Duan Mujie said considerately, noticing that Wudong and Dandan had been standing there the entire time, afraid that they would be exhausted.Duan Mujie continued, "Xiaocui, go pour some tea for the two guests.
Also, tell the kitchens to make some delicious dishes.
We need to have a good chat!""By the way, what have you guys been doing all these years?
Why did you suddenly disappear ten years ago?" Gu Xue asked in confusion."Truth be told, we left ten years ago because we wanted to have a happy life." Murong Dandan smiled.
"All these years, we've been drifting about.
We've explored every corner of the world, and we've seen many beautiful sceneries.
We've been to the West Lake, Mount Tai, Suzhou Garden, and many other beautiful places."We cooked on the green grass and ate the birds that shot from the sky and the fish that were caught in the water.
It was fun.The more Murong Dandan spoke, the more excited he became.
However, the expressions on Duan Mujie and Guxue's faces weren't happy at all.
In fact, they were a little downcast."What's wrong?
Are you guys unhappy?" Murong Dandan sensed something and asked."We want to know..." Gu Xue thought about it and didn't know if she should ask."What?" Murong Dandan asked in confusion."Didn't you two get married?" Guxue asked softly.
He didn't know whether or not he should ask this question."We're getting married." Murong Dandan looked at Wu Dong and smiled at Guxue."That's right.
We'll be married after a year," Wudong said with a smile."But why didn't I see your husband?" Duan Mujie asked in confusion."Oh, they..." Wudong was just about to explain when he was interrupted by a child's voice."Eh mommy, daddy, there are three more children in our family!" It was Yuyin's voice."Hmm?
I'll go take a look." Guxue put down the child in his arms and ran out.When she ran to the door, she saw that there were four children in the courtyard.
They were standing beside the garden, looking happily at the butterflies dancing on the flowers."Haha." Guxue laughed happily and turned around.
"Those three are your children, aren't they?
They're so cute.""Your children are also very cute." Murong Dandan ran over to the bedside and looked at the two children lying on the bed.
Their eyes were wide open, and their faces were flushed red.Guxue and Murong Dandan ran out together, leaving only Duan Mujie and Wudong in the room."How have you been with Xue Er these past few years?" Wudong looked at Duan Mujie and asked with concern."It's pretty good.
I've been busy with business recently and have made some money.
Although I'm not as wealthy as I used to be when Ping Yangwang was around, I can still live on." Duan Mujie sat down on a stool and looked at Wudong, "What about you guys?
Have you been well these past few years?""It's okay.
We've traveled far and wide.
Although there are times when we don't have enough money on us, we'll just find a job there, earn some money, and continue to move forward.
Now, we're back." Wu Dongwei said with a smile."Now that you're back, you don't have to leave.
Stay here!" Duan Mujie said sincerely.
"After you left, our days were even more lonely.
Several concubines in the manor passed away one after another, and our days became more and more lonely.
Now that we finally have a few children, and a few new maids have come, it's finally a little livelier than before."If you live here, it will be even livelier.""Everything here hasn't changed." Wudong looked around and continued, "I used to live here.
Now that I'm back, I'll just stay here.""That's great!" Duan Mujie said happily.At night, countless fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and the trees and silver flowers bloomed.
The four adults sat on the roof, chatting happily about the past.
