I'll tell you the secret and let's laugh together!

Emperor Mu Wu kept his word and asked them to return immediately. He did not let them wait until the next day and directly ordered the imperial guards to "escort" Hu Yantan and others out of the capital!

"Prince Huyan, please take care. I will remember to send you money at this time next year." Ning Zhiyi stood on the city wall and shouted to Huyan Tan who was walking away.

Hu Yantan paused for a moment, tightly gripping the reins, thinking that it would be Emperor Muwu's birthday in a while. Given how much his father loved him, he would definitely bring him there. Thinking of this, he exhaled and said to Ning Zhiyi proudly:

"Governor Ning, I will come back, and then you won't be able to escape."

He emphasized the word "escape" very heavily, with a meaningful look on his face.

Ning Zhiyi rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "You're back, you're almost back to your soul!"

At this time, Huyan Tan had already walked far away and did not hear Ning Zhiyi's words. Even if he heard it, he would not care.

......

A few days later, Du Shaofeng and Du Shaoyun came to Ning Mansion to find Ning Zhiyi.

"Girl, let's go out and watch the fun!"

"Watching the fun? What happened?"

Du Shaofeng blinked mischievously and said with a sly smile: "Today is the wedding day of Duan Muyang and Xia Wanqing. Duan Muyang will marry both of them at the same time. Just thinking about it, that scene will be very interesting!"

"Wow, so fast, I was busy these days and didn't pay attention to it."

Du Shaoyun nodded and told the news he had found out, "It is indeed faster. According to the news my mother found out, it was Wan who asked her eldest brother and the Duan family to put pressure on the Xia family, forcing Mr. Xia to marry Xia Wanqing as soon as possible, otherwise they will fight to the death with the Xia family and drag the entire Xia family into the water."

"Lord Xia is the patriarch of the Xia family. There are many girls waiting to get married in the Xia Mansion. He cannot just consider his own daughter. Under pressure from other members of the Xia family, he can only agree to marry Xia Wanqing as soon as possible."

"No wonder it happened so quickly, it turns out this is a game between two families!"

Du Shaoyun thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide it from Ning Zhiyi. "The two of them got married so quickly because of my family's involvement. My father was also involved, and my maternal grandfather's family also had a hand in it."

"I didn't reveal Duan Muyang's health condition before because I didn't want Xia Wanqing to use this as an excuse to cancel the engagement. Once the two of them get married, the news will be widely publicized. Not only that, but also the affairs between Madam Xia and Master Duan, as well as the conflicts between the Duan and Xia families in recent years, will be 'accidentally' discovered."

Ning Zhiyi and Ning Yuanzhi clapped their hands and laughed, saying that it was a great pleasure. Ning Yuanyi glanced at the girl unobtrusively. Not bad, she had endured it until now without showing off.

"Niu Xuekla Si, it's OK, little sister."

Ning Yuanyi initially thought that Du Shaoyun was a coward. He didn't show any reaction when being bullied. It turned out that he was holding back a big move!

It's still good. A little girl has to be sharp so as not to be bullied. It would be frustrating if anyone could step on her and she doesn't know how to resist. It may be that Ning Yuanyi's filter for Ning Zhiyi is too deep. He always thinks that a girl with the same temperament as his sister is the best.

Dare to love and hate, dare to hit and scold, and of course at the same time you must master the skills of becoming cowardly and admitting mistakes. This is called being able to bend and stretch, just like Ning Zhiyi is now.

"Zhiyi, what did you just say? Big brother told us to discipline you. Come on, repeat what you just said to your brother!"

Ning Yuanyi's hand pinched Ning Zhiyi's ear accurately. Without much force, Ning Zhiyi turned around and ran away, begging for mercy:

"Third brother, I was wrong. You didn't hear anything just now. You just treated me as a gust of wind. Just let me go this time, or the eldest brother won't let me go out again."

The classic fly rubbing hands appeared again. Ning Yuanyi was deliberately teasing her. He said no with a stern face and pretended to chase her.

"Ah, Third Brother, spare me! Fourth Brother, Big Brother Du, Sister Shaoyun, run quickly, let's go out and watch the fun, otherwise Third Brother won't let me leave the house."

In the carriage, Ning Zhiyi sat very obediently, with her finger raised to promise that she would be good and obedient and would never run around or cause trouble.

Ning Yuanyi and Ning Yuanzhi nodded. It was good that they could scare this little devil. If she kept quiet, they could relax for a while. Otherwise, they would have a hard time explaining themselves when their eldest brother came back.

Obviously, the two of them didn't understand at this time that there was a law that where Ning Zhiyi was, there would be no peace. Even if she behaved herself and didn't cause trouble, trouble would still come to her.

The entrance to the Duan Mansion was decorated with lights and a red carpet was laid, looking very festive. Mrs. Wan welcomed the guests with a big smile on her face, and the smile on her face was even bigger than that of the groom Duan Muyang.

"Mom, I haven't heard from Wanqing for a long time. Can I go pick her up first?"

The smile on Wan's face disappeared, and she pursed her lips and wanted to start cursing.

"Mom, I promise that I will compensate my cousin well in the future, and my cousin is very considerate and will definitely not mind."

Wan tried hard to hold back the curses in her mouth. She recently discovered that men are mean-spirited. They won't appreciate it even if you try your best to persuade them for their own good. But if you speak in a gentle and kind manner, they will agree even if what you say is not in their favor or even if it doesn't suit their wishes.

The smile returned to her face, and she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief to hide the disgust and malice in them, but her voice was very gentle, "Son, it's not that mother insists that you go pick up your cousin first. Think about it, you and Xia Wanqing had such close contact in public, and the Xia family doesn't want to marry their daughter here."

Wan was satisfied to see Duan Muyang's slightly changed expression and continued:

"If it weren't for your mother and uncle's efforts, you don't know when you would be able to marry her. Your uncle has made a lot of efforts and has loved you so much since you were a child. You have to give him this face. And you forgot what mother promised you. As long as Xia Wanqing is obedient and doesn't make trouble, mother will treat her well like her cousin."

"Mom, I will listen to you. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of you with my sister Wanqing in the future."

"Okay, good son, go ahead."

When Duan Muyang disappeared, the smile on Wan's face disappeared, and a vicious look flashed in her eyes. She would definitely treat Xia Wanqing "well", but she didn't know if she would have the blessing to enjoy it!

Duan Muyang's wedding process went smoothly, but problems arose at the gate of Duan Mansion. The bridal sedans from Wan Mansion and Xia Mansion arrived at the gate of Duan Mansion at the same time. Both sedans wanted to enter the mansion first and neither was willing to give way, so the two sedans were stuck at the gate.

Upon hearing the news, Wan angrily threw the teacup in her hand, "What's going on? Didn't we ask the bride's escort to leave half an hour later? How come they brought her back so soon after they left?"
