Hearing that You Si’s descendants would occupy the position of Duke Shi for long, Mo Shujun put on a long face. “I can steal her husband, and her descendants will never win my offspring.”
Before Shi Juncai got overjoyed, Mo Shujun poured cold water on him. “Juncai, I made a mistake. The only person who will inherit your father’s title in the future is Junfeng.”
“Mother!” Shi Juncai had heard Mo Shujun’s promise just now, yet he was disillusioned soon.
A pie fell from the sky and didn’t hit him but fell on Shi Junfeng who was an unimpressive fence-sitter.
Even though Shi Juncai respected Mo Shujun a lot, he was furious after hearing that and asked in reply anxiously, “Why? I…”
Mo Shujun waved her hand and interrupted Shi Juncai. She just said, “Don’t worry. You are my most loved child, and I won’t treat you unfairly, yet you’d better not think about your father’s title.”
She made this decision forcefully and seemed not to see how terrible Shi Juncai’s face was. She merely stared at him quietly, as if seeing another person.
After a long time, Mo Shujun suddenly said, “You are not like your father at all.”
Her words made Shi Juncai’s indignation stuck in his throat and he couldn’t spit it out, nor could he swallow it. At last, he had to lower his head cloudily.
He clenched his fingers into two fists tightly.
Mo Shujun was lost in thought and didn’t notice that.
On the third day of the lunar twelfth month in the forty-second year after the Mo Dynasty was founded.
It was the wedding date of Infanta Baoning and General Wenren. The emperor granted the marriage in person, and the mansion of the Wenren family had dinner served separately as the guests arrived in succession, which made the whole capital city bustling with noise and excitement.
The line of the people who carried dowries was five kilometers long, and people on horseback were sent to pick up the bride.
It seemed that there was joy even in the air.
The bride Shi Baoning was the happiest woman this day.
The festive sounds of firecrackers and lively music from instruments such as suona as well as a great cheer gathered and wished happiness to her and Wenren Chi.
Shi Baoning’s head was covered with a red bridal veil all the way, and she couldn’t see anybody.
She was joyful and flurried from time to time.
She was quite nervous all day. When she came back to earth, she was led into the bridal chamber and then sat on the wedding bed, waiting for her groom.
It was silent in the room. Shi Baoning managed with effort to observe the surroundings from the cracks under the bridal veil.
It was brightly lit in the room with candlelight swaying. What she could see were all brand-new and exquisite furniture and decoration.
Obviously, the master of the room made a lot of effort to make arrangements.
The master of the room!
At the thought of these words, Shi Baoning felt so happy that she was almost suffocated.
She would become the mistress of this mansion soon.
The only mistress.
Shi Baoning was excited and restrained herself, so she didn’t lift the bridal veil to check the room carefully.
When she was restless, the room door was opened with a creak.
Then deep footsteps came from afar and moved to the wedding bed step by step.
Each footstep seemed to step on Shi Baoning’s heart, which pounded violently with the footsteps.
Till the comer stood in front of Shi Baoning, her heart was in her mouth, which made her almost unable to breathe.
She saw that a balance arm lifted her bridal veil gently from bottom to top.
Shi Baoning raised her head and happened to meet Wenren Chi’s bright and stable eyes.
Their eyes met, and Shi Baoning’s heart quieted down at once, and the surroundings disappeared in an instant seemingly.
Her eyes could only hold him, and only she was in his eyes.
After a long time, Wenren Chi reached out his hand to Shi Baoning and smiled faintly. “Let’s drink cross-cupped wine.”
Shi Baoning blushed and lowered her head with shyness. She moved her hand aimlessly for a long while and then reached out to Wenren Chi’s hand.
She responded cautiously and gently, “Okay.”
Wenren Chi looked at the shy woman and didn’t get impatient.
After he led Shi Baoning to have a seat at the table, he personally poured two cups of wine and then gave one to Shi Baoning.
When Shi Baoning received the cup, the back of her hand got close to Wenren Chi’s boiling hot fingers by accident, and she was shocked and shrank back immediately. Then she lowered her head in panic again.
She was so shy and hurried, greatly different from the first young lady of the Shi family who was always dignified and calm in Wenren Chi’s memories.
Wenren Chi felt fresh and didn’t dislike her.
He didn’t dislike Shi Baoning but even felt that she had a different style.
She was so lovable that he was attracted by her.
Wenren Chi couldn’t help but chuckle. He involuntarily and even forcefully caressed Shi Baoning’s ruddy face with luster.
When Shi Baoning raised her head in doubt, he showed a big smile again and said gently, “Honey, you are so lovely.”
She didn’t know whether it was because of Wenren Chi’s bright and gentle smile or his sweet form of address “Honey”.
Shi Baoning just felt that her heart started to pound again and beat violently, with a loud sound, as if it were beside her ear.
However, she didn’t want to stop it at all, and she even liked such a feeling very much.
At the moment, she confirmed that Wenren Chi loved her.
Wenren Chi loved Shi Baoning.
Wenren Chi had a smile on his face, looking at Shi Baoning who looked sluggish and attractive because of his words.
He couldn’t help but laugh more loudly and lower his head, moving close to her little by little.
Then their lips met and they clung to each other.
It was not a procedure of the wedding, yet the couple who kissed each other didn’t care about this. They just thought about being intimate.
First, their lips were together, and then they held hands. Later, their bodies…
Wenren Chi’s parents had died at an early age, and the elders in the clan were missing or dead in the chaos caused by war, so only Wenren Chi was left in the family.
He had no elder.
So the next day after the wedding, Shi Baoning didn’t need to get up in a hurry to greet her parents-in-law. She just lay in Wenren Chi’s arms quietly and slept most comfortably.
When Shi Baoning opened her eyes again, she happened to meet Wenren Chi’s clear eyes, as if he had watched her in this way for a whole night.
Seeing that Shi Baoning woke up, Wenren Chi had a smile on his lips involuntarily and split her long hair on her cheeks, asking in a soft voice, “Did you have a good sleep last night?”
Shi Baoning lowered her head with shyness and replied in a low, muffled voice, “Yes…How about you?”
“I slept well, too.” Looking at Shi Baoning who was so shy that her face became like a red apple, Wenren Chi couldn’t help but purse his lips and flirt with her. “With you around, how can I not sleep well?”
Shi Baoning was seldom close to others. Suddenly she heard Wenren Chi’s flirtation, so her face was more scorching.
However, she didn’t want to miss the chance to be intimate to Wenren Chi. She restrained her shyness and reached out to grab his hand, saying in a soft voice, “I…I have the same feeling.”
Wenren Chi knew that Shi Baoning was introverted and shy, so he didn’t expect her response, and he was stunned after hearing her low yet sincere answer all of a sudden.
Then before he came to his senses, he raised Shi Baoning’s cute jaw and kissed her red lips.
The quilt rose and fell like waves, and they just made love passionately.
When they got up, the sun was high in the sky.
A servant came to report that some visitors had come to the mansion.
The only master and mistress in the mansion had to get up from the warm bed.
Shi Baoning thought that there was no elder in this mansion, so it must be cheerless on the next day after the wedding, but some visitors came early in the morning unexpectedly.
When she let Jing Yi comb her hair and dress her up, Shi Baoning couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Chi, do you know who came to visit us?”
The servant who came to report didn’t tell them and just said that the butler Li asked them to see the guests in a hurry, so they must be significant.
And obviously, they came at this hour in order to congratulate the new couple on their wedding and add happiness to the cheerless mansion.
After all, the people who considered that the mansion would be cheerless on the next day after the wedding must truly care about Wenren Chi.
With such kindness, no matter who came, they should be entertained with hospitality.
Wenren Chi was putting on a coat by himself and frowned involuntarily after hearing Shi Baoning’s words.
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, yet then he shook his head. “I don’t know. But they came out of kindness anyway. Just go with me.”
Shi Baoning thought that even if Wenren Chi didn’t ask her, she would come with him. Now she was invited by him, so she was happier, and the smile on her face was brighter.
Her brother Chi really took her seriously.
“Okay, Brother Chi.” Shi Baoning lowered her head and answered, yet the smile on her face and lips still couldn’t be hidden.
Wenren Chi saw that and suddenly pulled a long face, asking indifferently, “What did you call me?”
“Brother…Chi,” Shi Baoning repeated rigidly.
Seeing that Wenren Chi looked unhappy, Shi Baoning got nervous and thought that she said something wrong.
When she was regretful and racked her brains, trying to remedy it, she didn’t notice that Wenren Chi showed a complacent smile involuntarily. He secretly waved away the servants in the room and stepped forward to pull her into his arms, letting her sit on his knees.
Facing Shi Baoning’s surprised eyes, he finally couldn’t help but laugh. He reached out his hand to pinch her cute nose and teased, “We have been married. Why do you still call me Brother Chi? What should you call me? Hmm?”
Shi Baoning finally realized that Wenren Chi didn’t get mad at her but…
Noticing the intimacy and sweetness in Wenren Chi’s words, Shi Baoning felt that her face was burning hot again, and the blush spread to her neck from her cheeks, which was fascinating.
She lowered her head with shyness and whispered in a voice like a mosquito’s, “Honey…”
Wenren Chi felt fresh and joyful after seeing that and refused to let Shi Baoning go. He forced her to call him honey several times and then let go of his beautiful wife with satisfaction.
When they finally finished enjoying it and thought of the visitors in the living room, thirty minutes had passed.
After they rushed to the living room, they felt surprised again to see the visitors.
