Chapter 190: Chapter 132: Lan Jue’s Wedding Day Has Finally Arrived

Jun Moling almost revealed all the secrets in his heart.

However, just at the moment he was about to speak, he forced himself to hold back.

Because Shen Ruoxi’s past experiences made it difficult for her to completely trust a man.

If he revealed it now, it would only add to her burden.

He hoped that he could wait until the day she truly loved him, and then confide in her without reservation.

“Because you’re my future wife! If I’m not good to you, then to whom?” Jun Moling said with a smile, gazing at Shen Ruoxi with tender eyes.

Shen Ruoxi gently pressed her lips together, “But we had an agreement…”

Before she could finish her words, Jun Moling interrupted softly, “We have all the necessary matchmakers and gifts, not missing a single one, and every detail of the wedding ceremonies is perfect; our wedding is, of course, real.

My meaning is, if you feel unhappy or uncomfortable in this Prince Zhan Mansion, you can leave anytime, and I will respect your choice.

But if you feel at ease here and think I’m not too bad of a person, then let’s spend our lives together, shall we?”

Jun Moling’s gaze was sincere and intense, and Shen Ruoxi, looking at him, couldn’t bear to break the beautiful moment, so she slightly smiled in response, “Alright.”

Jun Moling wished he could embed her into his body, becoming truly one, to spare himself the torment of constant anxiety and longing.

Jun Moling suddenly thought of something and said, “Tonight I feel like eating…”

Shen Ruoxi chuckled lightly, “Your Highness, it’s not appropriate right now, I won’t keep you, please go back!”

Jun Moling also understood the inappropriateness of his actions. Although he was not afraid of the rumors outside, and knew well that Shen Ruoxi wasn’t someone narrow-minded, the Shen Family still had the widows of his two brothers to consider, and he had to consider their feelings, especially since they were not yet married.

“Alright, I’m leaving.” Although Jun Moling was somewhat reluctant, he still made the decision.

Shen Ruoxi smiled sweetly, “Farewell, Your Highness.”

Jun Moling felt a bit aggrieved and muttered under his breath, “Are you that happy to see me go?”

“Ah! What did you say, Your Highness?” Shen Ruoxi didn’t catch his words and asked again.

Jun Moling, still sulking, said, “I said I’m leaving.”

Shen Ruoxi reminded him, “Alright, go then! Sleep early tonight, don’t stay up late, the more you stay up, the harder it is to sleep. If there’s no improvement, I’ll prescribe you some medicine.”

Hearing this, Jun Moling asked, “Will there be a massage too?”

As Shen Ruoxi pushed him towards the exit, she said, “Yes, as long as you have time, I’m always available.”

“That’s more like it.” Satisfied with her affirmation, Jun Moling left contentedly.

With Prince Zhan’s departure, the atmosphere eased, allowing Chuntao and Xia Lian to come out and serve.

They also learned that Xueyan accidentally fell into Moon Lake because of that scoundrel Xiao Chengyi.

The two hurried over to check on Xueyan, only to be shocked by another piece of news: Xueyan was going to marry that tower-like man Mi Yi.

Chuntao immediately frowned, full of displeasure, “Miss, look at his fierce appearance, if Xueyan marries him, won’t she be bullied to death! I absolutely do not agree with this marriage.”

Shen Ruoxi, however, chuckled softly, her gaze gentle, “Chuntao, don’t judge a book by its cover. Besides, Mi Yi actually looks quite decent, just a bit more robust.

A strong man, after all, can give a woman a sense of security. Don’t speak so carelessly. I had contact with Mi Yi when I was at the camp, he’s upright and would not bully Xueyan.”

Recalling the Mi Yi she had just seen, Chuntao was filled with anger and even more reluctant when she thought about him becoming Xueyan’s husband.

“By the way, tomorrow you will come with me to the government office to transfer Xueyan’s household registration to the Shen Mansion. Also, I have recognized Xueyan as an adopted sister, and you two will be the same. When you marry, it will be according to the standard of being my sister, Shen Ruoxi.” Shen Ruoxi said seriously.

Chuntao and Xia Lian hastily waved their hands, saying in unison, “Miss, we will not marry in this life, we will stay with you.”

Shen Ruoxi shook her head helplessly, “Not marrying? Do you want me to support you two for life? Don’t talk nonsense! There are many good men in the world!

Like my father, my grandfather, and my uncles, they are all good men with only one wife and no concubines in their lives.

When you meet a good one, you have to hold on tight, with a husband, children, and a warm home, life is considered complete.”

Chuntao still wanted to insist on not marrying, but Xia Lian pulled her aside to stop her, and she laughed, “Miss, there’s no rush, we should wait until you successfully enter the Prince Mansion before discussing this.”

Shen Ruoxi also felt this made sense, she couldn’t be too hasty. After all, marriage is a matter that concerns their lifelong happiness and should be carefully selected.

In her heart, Chuntao and Xia Lian were no different from her own younger sisters, and she only wished that they could all have happy and fulfilling lives.

The day of Lan Jue’s wedding finally arrived, and as relatives of the Prince Mansion in the south of the city, Shen Ruoxi, along with her two sisters-in-law, rushed over early in the morning, hoping to lend a helping hand.

Even though the servants in the mansion claimed everything was ready, on this important day, the mansion was still a scene of bustling chaos.

Red lanterns were hung high, but were they high enough? Were they in the right place? Were all the food and supplies prepared? Such issues kept everyone dizzyingly busy.

Shen Ruoxi understood that she was never welcomed by Xu Jingwan.

Especially considering her status as a second marriage, along with the widow status of her two sisters-in-law.

On such a joyous day, they were considered inauspicious. So, she voluntarily helped with the rough work and never stepped into the bridal chamber.

Lan Jue was dressed in a bright and striking groom’s outfit, and although it was still early, he casually greeted the arriving relatives.

He was enveloped in the red attire of a groom, surrounded by a festive atmosphere, yet there wasn’t a trace of joy on his face.

Shen Ruoxi was helping the servants count the cups, calculating how many were needed per table.

As she inadvertently looked up, she saw Lan Jue walking towards her, she was momentarily stunned, then a smile spread across her face, “Congratulations, cousin.”

Lan Jue’s heart was full of bitterness, he barely responded, “Congratulations to you too, cousin, you should go sit in the front hall, there’s no need for you here.”

“There’s no need here, then where am I needed? I’m a relative of the groom now, you hurry up and prepare, you ought to go fetch the bride soon, don’t bother with me.” Shen Ruoxi said with a smile on her face and a light-hearted tone.

Lan Jue gave her a deep look, his fingers unconsciously clenching, and finally, he resignedly agreed, “Alright.”

Watching Lan Jue turn and walk away, Shen Ruoxi let out a gentle sigh.

She knew her thoughts were somewhat mean-spirited, only because she couldn’t maintain peace and calm in his presence, so she eagerly wished for him to marry quickly.

Only when they both established families and cut off the undue thoughts, leaving only familial affection, could she truly be open-hearted when facing him.

She sighed quietly, then continued instructing the servants on setting up the cups and utensils.

Just then, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid suddenly walked in from outside.

She appeared very sharp, bowed respectfully to Shen Ruoxi, and spoke clearly, “Marquis Shen, this servant has something to report, may I have a word with you?”
