After this farce was over, Xu Shucai thought of testing whether Mu Jinghua remembered what he had just said.

"Xiao Mujin, what happened to you just now? It seemed like you didn't hear what I said."

"Ah?" Mu Jinghua frowned, "Did you tell me anything?"

"It's just a trivial matter." Xu Shu waved his hand. "Is this the first time this has happened? Could it be the sequelae of that fever?"

"It's a sequelae." Mu Jinghua nodded. "It's related to that fever. Maybe I haven't fully recovered yet."

He leaned weakly towards Xu Shu, "Tired."

"Then let's sleep a little longer?" Xu Shu suggested.

"No... I don't want to sleep." Mu Jinghua reacted and sat up. Then he came back to his senses and smiled gently at Xu Shu, "What happened when you entered the palace today? Why do you want to go out to relax?"

"Uh." Xu Shu was stuck for a second, "It's nothing more than going back to Yuzhou."

"Nothing else?" Mu Jinghua was a little nervous.

"Nothing else." Xu Shu kissed his forehead and made up a few stories to coax him.

Mu Jinghua fell asleep while listening, but he still held Xu Shu's clothes tightly, and Xu Shu watched him by the bed.

Endearing.

He was born beautiful, with the kind of androgynous beauty that was hard to tell whether he was male or female. His facial features were so delicate that there was nothing wrong with them. He could captivate you at first sight.

But his brows were always furrowed, as if there was some sorrow that he would never be able to overcome in this lifetime. Even in his dreams, it was still painful.

Xu Shu smoothed his face, and he wrinkled again soon, as if he was crying, but he was quiet and silent. It was really...

Endearing.

Xu Shu stared at him in a daze for the entire afternoon.

-

The wedding day will soon be here.

As soon as the sky began to turn a gentle pale blue, Xu Shu got up and started working.

Because I had to go to Bai's house to pick up the bride, I couldn't stay overnight there, so even though I was very reluctant, I had to stay alone in the empty room last night.

However, the unbearable midnight had passed, and despite a poor sleep, Xu Shu was still full of energy.

Wu Yong was also excited and came to knock on the door early in the morning, fearing that the groom Xu Shu would oversleep. Seeing that Xu Shu looked refreshed and well-dressed, he felt a little jealous.

"I thought you wouldn't wear a wedding gown."

He saw Xu Shu wearing a carefully sewn bright red wedding dress and exclaimed, "This is Sichuan embroidery, right? It took a year to embroider this one. You are a very talented person."

"How can one year be enough?" Although Xu Shu didn't show it, he actually wanted to get married more than anyone else since he and Xiao Mujin confirmed their relationship. "It took me three years to embroider it. It was only completed last month."

Wu Yong chuckled and said with ill intent, "Brother, you finally got what you wanted. Let me congratulate you first."

Xu Shu smiled at him and was about to speak when he heard the sound of firecrackers outside.

The firecrackers would go off once every stick of incense. When it went off for the third time, Xu Shu was ready to set out to welcome the bride.

There was still some time, but he didn't want to wait any longer and walked straight out the door.

Wu Yong laughed non-stop in the back, muttering, "I wonder how Le Ge'er is doing."

Li Zile has experience and is a brother, so it is natural for him to accompany Mu Jinghua to Bai Mansion.

Jiang Xiangwan also went along, but his family was in financial difficulty when he and Jiang Xiao got married, and he had never seen such a grand ceremony, so he went just to chat with Mu Jinghua.

It was exactly when he was needed.

"Brother Mu, why do you look so unhappy? Are you unhappy about getting married?"

"I'm happy." Mu Jinghua responded listlessly, "It's absolutely safe. I should be happy."

He stayed awake all night last night, thinking over his plan carefully, and making sure over and over again that it was foolproof, but his heart became more and more panicked.

As the only one with experience, Li Zile took the lead in helping him take care of everything. Whether it was the exquisite makeup or the gorgeous wedding dress, every detail showed luxury and care.

Mu Jinghua touched the fabric on her body and heard the maid boasting beside her: "Sir, this is the finest Shu embroidery. It is worth a fortune to get one piece."

"Mr. Xu treats you very well."

He hummed in a muffled voice, staring blankly at the ring on his hand with lifeless eyes.

Jiang Xiangwan brought him some rice porridge to fill his stomach, and happened to see that he was in a daze and absent-minded, so she asked him about it.

"What do you mean by foolproof?" Li Zile couldn't help laughing when he heard them chatting, "You're getting married yourself, who do you want to make it perfect for?"

"It's important that you're happy."

Jiang Xiangwan took it very seriously, nodded seriously, and said from her own experience: "When I married Brother Jiang, I only had a red belt wrapped around my waist. Brother Jiang didn't have a bullock cart to pick me up, so he could only carry me all the way home. People in the village said it was shabby, and it was even worse than your marriage, but when I think about it, I still feel very happy."

Mu Jinghua recalled his childhood expectations. At that time, he just wanted a piece of red cloth.

It's the kind of red cloth that's wrapped around the waist and would flutter in the evening breeze.

But now.

He looked at his precious Shu embroidery wedding dress and said gloomily: "It's better for you to be like this. But I can't go back."

"Look at this guy." Li Zile couldn't help laughing at him, "Why are you still thinking about the hard times?"

"Brother Xu never made you suffer." Li Zile laughed at him, "Even when he was the poorest, wasn't he able to have three meals a day and have a full stomach?"

Mu Jinghua was in a trance again: "He is the same to others. He will help anyone he sees suffering."

"What do you mean he treats others like this?" Li Zile was deeply impressed by this and immediately retorted, "Xu Shuke is only special to you."

"I lived next door to Xu Shu at the time. Don't disbelieve me." Li Zile handed Mu Jinghua tea to rinse his mouth and said, "During that time, my brother owed gambling debts, and the people from the gambling house came to our house every day to collect the debts. There was no money at home, so they wanted to sell me to a brothel."

"Xu Shu passed by several times, but he never said he would pay off my debt or redeem me. But for you, he paid back the five hundred taels as soon as he said so. He only cared about whether you cried or not."

"There were several big men surrounding the village chief's house, looking like they were about to die, but he still remembered you. He was afraid that you would cry, so he covered your ears."

"I'm not afraid to tell you, when I saw it, I was so jealous that I almost went crazy. Why doesn't anyone love me like this?" Li Zile smiled, and realized that he had said too much, he changed the subject, "If Xu Shu had saved everyone he saw according to what you said, shouldn't he have come to save me as soon as he heard that I was being bullied?"

"But the truth is, not only did he not come to save me, but most of the time he couldn't even remember who I was."

Mu Jinghua laughed at this: "He has a good memory, how could he not recognize you?"

"I didn't notice me. No matter how good your memory is, you can't remember it. Wan'er, do you think so?"

Jiang Xiangwan nodded seriously: "That's right."

Mu Jinghua felt inexplicably sweet in his heart, as if he had been coaxed.

But then he remembered his plan and felt a little depressed: "What if I did something wrong."

"If I do something wrong, will he still love me?"

"What are you talking about on such a happy day?" Jiang Xiangwan was so angry that she tapped Mu Jinghua's forehead lightly and was about to say something else.

There was the crackling sound of firecrackers outside, followed by the bridesmaid's surprised shout: "The wedding procession is here, is the young master ready to come out?"
