Pick up a princess to be your wife

That evening, Xiong Wenjing hurriedly returned home, but Sima Xiangyue had not yet returned, so he waited anxiously.

Much after nightfall, Sima Xiangyue finally returned.

Seeing Xiong Wenjing's excited expression, she knew something good had happened.

"Go ahead."

"You were absolutely right! That kid Li Xingzhou is marrying the Princess of Chu tomorrow!"

"Oh."

Sima Xiangyue was not surprised.

She had originally thought that Ye Xiao would stop Xu Yi and Li Mu from getting together.

Xu Yi, being so naive and innocent, might be having second thoughts, and she was planning to help him at a crucial moment.

It seems she underestimated Li Mu's abilities; that kid handled everything on his own.

“Very well, Xu Yi does need a place to belong. Xingzhou is a good place for her,” Sima Xiangyue said.

"Madam, why aren't you surprised at all?" Xiong Wenjing asked.

“I already knew about this, so what’s so surprising?” Sima Xiangyue said.

"The most beautiful woman in Lingnan... Li Xingzhou is quite the lucky guy with women," Xiong Wenjing said.

"Speaking of which, I recently found you a young lady. She's eighteen years old and from an ordinary family. She's a nice person, pretty, and smart. I've already spoken with her parents, and they'll bring you to see her another day."

In the past, Xiong Wenjing would have really been thinking about eighteen-year-old girls every day.

But he found that Sima Xiangyue was becoming more and more beautiful and attractive, as if she had experienced a second spring.

So Xiong Wenjing didn't think much about it.

Of course, the main reason was that Sima Xiangyue had a big appetite, which made this strong man, who was not yet thirty, somewhat unable to keep up.

"This isn't urgent. Did you have your pulse checked today?" Xiong Wenjing asked.

“There’s no need to take my pulse, I can do it myself. There’s no movement in my stomach,” Sima Xiangyue said.

"Hey, okay."

"How about... we try again tonight?"

"Well... it's not impossible."

The next day, at the Li family's residence, four tables were set up in the courtyard and one table in the main room, for a total of five tables.

Originally, Li Mu said he wanted to hold a big banquet, with four or five hundred tables, and invite all the neighbors in Quanxinpingfang to eat together.

But Xu Yi disagreed no matter what, so Li Mu chose to respect Xu Yi's opinion and only invited acquaintances.

As Li Mu led the bride in, everyone stood up and applauded to welcome her.

In the main hall sat Li Xin and Li Tian, ​​a married couple.

After the wedding ceremony, Li Mu escorted Xu Yi to the bridal chamber.

This is definitely the smallest house Xu Yi has ever lived in. Even the house she usually stays overnight at the finance office is much bigger than this house.

However, although the room is small, it has all the essentials.

Sitting in the courtyard of a farmhouse, Xu Yi felt a strange sensation in his heart.

Li Mu lifted the veil and placed it beside the bed.

Today, Xu Yi is heavily made up and looks stunningly beautiful.

But her feelings are still complicated.

"From now on, this will be your home," Li Mu said, gently stroking Xu Yi's face.

However, Xu Yi did not feel a sense of belonging.

Perhaps, this will be her home from now on.

She was already inside; what else could she say?

"Go and entertain the guests, I want to be alone for a while," Xu Yi said.

"Well, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."

Li Mu gently kissed Xu Yi's forehead, then touched Xu Yi's lower abdomen before turning and leaving.

"The groom is here!"

"Second Brother, come and have a drink!"

"Just waiting for you."

"Brothers, drink as much as you want, there's plenty of meat and wine."

Li Mu and Li Xin toasted everyone together, and then Li Mu sat down in the main room.

He Xianzhi sat opposite, with Cheng Liang and his wife sitting next to her.

He Xianzhi touched Xiaolan's lower abdomen and asked, "When will you give birth?"

"It's still a long way off, about six months from now."

Xiao Lan leaned closer to He Xianzhi and whispered, "Miss, have you gotten jealous?"

"what are you saying?"

“Li Xingzhou has already taken a second wife, and you and Li Xingzhou are nowhere to be found.”

"Nonsense, food can't shut you up."

He Xianzhi glared at Xiao Lan.

But she still has one question.

"Do you know who Li Xingzhou married?" He Xianzhi asked.

Most people inside and outside the house knew about it, but He Xianzhi and the Li family were still unaware.

“You know this person, can you guess who it is?” Xiaolan said.

"A woman I know?"

"Yes, we're quite familiar with each other."

He Xianzhi is now the head of the Chamber of Commerce. Among the members of the Chamber of Commerce, some are daughters of bosses who are quite good-looking, and some are businesswomen who are reasonably attractive.

He Xianzhi ruled out all the past possibilities and felt that it was unlikely that Li Mu had this kind of relationship with people in the business world.

Because Li Mu rarely goes to the Chamber of Commerce unless he has something to do.

Then there aren't many women she knows well.

"I can't figure it out, who is it?"

"Xu Yi".

"Who?"

When He Xianzhi heard this name, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

That guy Li Mu actually stole the Princess of Chu?

That's his aunt!

Isn't this against human ethics?

Also, when did Li Mu and Xu Yi get together? How come she didn't notice a single clue?

"I was quite surprised too. At first, I thought Cheng Liang was lying to me," Xiao Lan said.

"Oh……"

"Miss, Li Xingzhou dared to marry even the Princess of Chu, so why wouldn't he dare to marry you?"

"Shut up, you."

"Xiao Lan, are you talking bad about me?" Li Mu asked Xiao Lan.

"No."

"I heard you're pregnant too. I was planning to visit and give you a gift, but I haven't had the time. Perfect timing, I'll take the gift back with me later."

“That won’t do. According to the rules of Lingnan Road, you have to deliver this gift in person. Right, Brother Cheng Liang?”

“Yes, yes, it’s not that I’m not giving you face, brother. This is the rule in Lingnan.” Cheng Liang said.

"Okay, I'll definitely come to congratulate you tomorrow."

……

After three drinks, everyone dispersed.

Li Mu returned to the new house.

Today is Li Muxin's wedding day, so Li Xin went to sleep in another room.

Li Mu lay on the bed and let out a long breath.

She had twice secretly climbed into Xu Yi's bed, once at the Chu King's residence and once at Xiong Wenjing's home.

Now we can finally do it openly and honestly.

"You're officially recognized and have a formal status now, aren't you happy?" Li Mu asked.

She seems to have hardly ever been happy; it's as if the happiest time was also the time when she felt the deepest guilt.

Now that she has a formal title, she doesn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.

"How about I make you happy?" Li Mu pulled Xu Yi, who was still sitting, down to lie down.

"What are you doing? I'm pregnant, didn't you know?" Xu Yi said coldly.

“I know you’re pregnant, but on our wedding night, looking at your stunning beauty, I simply couldn’t resist,” Li Mu said.

"Absolutely not."

He knew it definitely wouldn't work.

“No, that won’t work, but we can do it this way, you come…” Li Mu slowly turned over and got up.

"What are you doing? How can you be so shameless... Waaah~"

After drinking some wine, Li Mu increasingly enjoyed seeing Xu Yi's haughty face beneath him.

Xu Yi felt a surge of shame, which she found utterly repulsive, yet it also caused her to utterly succumb once again.

She felt that there was something wrong with her psychology. The more she disliked something, the more she felt a sense of satisfaction that she couldn't explain.
