Mu Weizhu glanced at Mu Wenbin and his wife and said, "Father, Mother, regardless of Feng Yuqin's identity, I'm going to kill her. Don't try to stall me."
With her soul back in place, Mu Weizhu's intelligence had obviously improved a lot. Just by looking at the reactions of Mu Wenbin and his wife, she guessed that they might deliberately try to delay things.
Mu Wenbin and Nan Mu's expressions stiffened slightly.
"Zhu'er, you've just come back. How about waiting a while? After everyone knows you're back, we'll arrange for people to avenge you against Feng Yuqin," Nan Mu said tentatively, trying to persuade Mu Weizhu.
"That's not a conflict. I don't want to wait," Mu Weizhu said. "Do you think your daughter isn't important to you?"
"Of course not," Mu Wenbin said. "I'll arrange people for you right away."
Mu Weizhu looked at him and said, "Give me the people. I'll arrange things myself."
She didn't trust them.
She could feel that they had affection for her.
But their previous trust in her was lacking.
Mu Wenbin hesitated for a moment and then nodded. "Okay."
...
On the other side, in the Western Song State, Mo Xuanye personally came to propose marriage with betrothal gifts.
When people heard the news, they all thought it would be a grand procession of ten - mile red bridal array.
But when the on - lookers saw it, they found that it was not just a ten - mile red bridal array; it was more like a hundred - mile one!
When Yan Xiao and the others in the Dark Night Pavilion heard the news, they also came out to take a look.
Seeing Mo Xuanye at the front and the long line behind him, they twitched the corners of their mouths violently.
Yan Geng even said, "This grand occasion will make it hard for us to marry wives in the future."
Yan Xiao: "..."
"Aren't you supposed to be glad that our cousin has found a man who values her so much?" Yan Xiao asked his younger brother helplessly.
Yan Geng said, "But it doesn't stop me from being amazed at the scale of these betrothal gifts."
"I think we should hurry back and clear some space. Otherwise, the Yan Mansion won't be able to hold all these boxes," Yan Xiao said as he rushed towards the Yan Mansion.
Yan Geng followed closely behind.
The two of them returned to the Yan Mansion before Mo Xuanye arrived.
The whole Western Song State knew about this commotion.
Of course, Feng Pingqiu and his daughter were no exception.
When Feng Qing told Feng Pingqiu this news, there was envy and hatred in her eyes.
"Are you sure?" Feng Pingqiu asked. "Wasn't she in the Central Region? When did she come back?"
Feng Qing glanced at Feng Pingqiu impatiently. "During this period, you've been lying in bed recuperating every day. It's normal that you don't know what's going on outside."
"So Feng Yuqin really is back, and Mo Xuanye really presented a hundred - mile red bridal array?" At the mention of the "hundred - mile red bridal array", there was a flash of greed in Feng Pingqiu's eyes.
"I saw it with my own eyes. Can it be fake?" Feng Qing said with a cold look on her face. "As soon as I heard the news, I rushed over to take a look. The procession was extremely long, as if showing off. They walked quite slowly. Now Mo Xuanye may have just reached the gate of the Yan Mansion."
"Help me up," Feng Pingqiu said angrily. "Feng Yuqin is my daughter. Even if the betrothal gifts are presented, they should come to our place. How can they be carried to the Yan Mansion? The Yan family is just her maternal family. What right do they have to accept the betrothal gifts of our Feng family?"
Feng Qing hadn't thought of this before. Hearing Feng Pingqiu's words, she immediately reacted and agreed, "That's right. Father is the one who should rightfully accept the betrothal gifts."
As long as her father could get these betrothal gifts, she wouldn't have to live in this shabby little yard anymore.
They could buy a big mansion and regain the glory they had in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Although it had only been a few months, Feng Qing had had enough of this kind of life.
After walking out of the yard, Feng Pingqiu took out some silver and said to Feng Qing, "Go and hire a carriage. We must stop them before those things enter the Yan Mansion."
Feng Qing nodded and immediately went to make the arrangements.
...
At the Yan Mansion.
All the elders of the Yan family and the Yan Xiao brothers were sitting in the main hall. Feng Yuqin was still practicing in her own yard.
Mo Xuanye came to propose marriage with full courtesy.
Before Mo Xuanye arrived, Yan Xiao had told the Yan family about Mo Xuanye's current status in the White Flame Sect and his approximate strength.
Although Yan Xiao didn't know Mo Xuanye's exact strength, he had asked Feng Yuqin on their way back to the Western Song State, so he had a general idea.
After hearing this, the Yan family thought that although Mo Xuanye had achieved such success, he still came to propose marriage with full courtesy, and they were quite satisfied.
Actually, they also wanted to make things a bit difficult for Mo Xuanye, because they all thought Feng Yuqin was very outstanding.
But they also understood that Feng Yuqin and Mo Xuanye would face many things outside, so they couldn't bear to make things difficult for them.
Seeing that they didn't make things difficult for him, Mo Xuanye also let out a sigh of relief.
Next, it was time to discuss the wedding date.
"Since we've accepted your betrothal gifts, now we'll discuss the date of your wedding with Aqin," Old Master Yan said. "Since we'll be leaving here soon, let's choose a date as soon as possible."
Mo Xuanye smiled and said, "Sir, I've already chosen the date. It's the fifth day of next month."
As he spoke, Feng Yi beside him handed over the marriage horoscope.
Old Master Yan was stunned. "So soon?"
On the day Feng Yuqin came back, after Yan Geng mentioned their wedding, Old Master Yan had privately checked the dates.
The fifth day of next month was indeed a good day, but it was already half - way through this month, and there were only about half a month until the fifth day of next month. So he had his eye on a date two months later.
"Aqin and I can't stay here for long," Mo Xuanye said. "There are still many things for us to do in the Desolate City."
Most importantly, they needed to understand some things on the Desolate Dragon Continent.
So they didn't plan to spend too much time in the Western Song State.
"Let's listen to the young people," the old lady beside them said. "They're both assertive children. They must have their reasons for choosing this date."
Since the old lady had said so, what else could the old master say?
"Will this date be too rushed?" Yan Huaijin asked.
Yan Huaishen also thought that since Feng Yuqin was his only niece, it might be too hasty to hold the wedding so soon.
"No. I'll give Aqin the best," Mo Xuanye said. "Actually, I've been preparing for the wedding since before Aqin agreed to marry me."
Everyone in the Yan family: "..."
Yan Geng even asked helplessly, "Are you so sure that Aqin will marry you?"
After all, let's not mention the previous marriage alliance.
After the failure of the marriage alliance, Aqin's personality had changed a lot.
Although they didn't understand why Aqin had changed so much, they knew that if Aqin didn't agree herself, Mo Xuanye wouldn't be able to marry her.
"I've set my heart on her and have only prepared a wedding for her," Mo Xuanye said. "So if she doesn't agree, I won't marry anyone else."
Everyone: "..."
They didn't expect that a person like Mo Xuanye would be so persistent about marriage.
But they also thought that such persistence was a good thing.
In the Yan family, it was a tradition of monogamy. Only after Yan Aoyun got married and met Feng Pingqiu did things change.
