The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 420

There are only a few days until the wedding day, but Li Zhao has not returned yet.

Mu Qingyu's room was full of things prepared for the wedding day.And regarding the fact that Li Zhao hadn't come back yet, except for Mu Qingyu, everyone else was in a hurry.

From Mrs. Mu to the maids who cleaned Mu Qingyu's yard, they were all on the verge of getting angry.

Mo Zhu and Miao Xiang were even more afraid that on the day of their wedding, the bridegroom would not come, making their young lady a laughing stock.

At dawn, the two sent people to wait at the gate of the city.

Just a few days later, and tomorrow is the wedding day, there is still no news from General Li.

Miao Xiang caressed her chest and said, "Mo Zhu, my heart is beating very fast, and I always feel that something big is about to happen."

Mo Zhu was also uneasy in his heart, but he said calmly: "Don't scare yourself, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and General Li will definitely come back at night."

Miao Xiang sighed, but the uneasiness in her heart still did not dissipate.

The people in the kitchen came to deliver the lunch, and the two entered the house, took the lunch out of the lunch box and arranged them one by one.

Miao Xiang said in a low voice: "Miss probably has no appetite, why don't you ask the kitchen to bring some lighter food."

Mo Zhu nodded, "Alright, then you go..."

Before she could finish speaking, Mu Qingyu came out from the inner room after hearing footsteps.

She walked to the table and sat down, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and ate.

Mo Zhu and Miao Xiang were standing with cloth dishes, thinking that she would lose her appetite, so she would stop eating after a little bit.

Unexpectedly, Mu Qingyu's appetite was so good that he ate more than usual.

Mo Zhu and Miao Xiang looked at each other.

After lunch, Mu Qingyu ate some snacks, and went back to the inner room to rest after eating.

Mo Zhu followed and walked in, only to see that Mu Qingyu was planning to take a lunch break.

Mo Zhu hurriedly went up to spread the quilt, "Miss, are you not worried?"

"What are you worried about?" Mu Qingyu asked puzzled.

Mo Zhu had no choice but to make it clear: "General Li hasn't come back yet, don't you worry that the general will come back tomorrow?"

Mu Qingyu smiled and said, "So it's this? Since he promised me, he will definitely come back tomorrow."

Mo Zhu thought to herself, how can she rest assured?But she didn't dare to say it, for fear of disturbing Mu Qingyu's good mood.

In addition to Dingguo Mansion, there are many people who are following Li Zhao's development.

At the gate of the city sat a lot of servants from various prefectures, all of whom were sent by the master to inquire about Li Zhao's news.

They had been sitting at the door for several days, not to mention General Li himself, not even a single person from the General's Mansion.

Sitting and waiting was no fun, and they chatted casually.

"I don't know if General Li will come back today!"

"I see Xuan. Tomorrow is the day of General Li's big wedding. Does the wedding have to be changed?"

"I haven't heard of it. I passed by the Duke's Mansion today, and the gates are all dressed up. It doesn't seem like I'm going to change the day."

"Then there is no groom officer, how can this marriage be married! It will be lively again tomorrow!"

Several people talked for a while, all of them affirmed in their hearts that even Li Zhao would not be able to come back tomorrow.

When Dingguo's mansion was in a hurry, Mu Qingyu lived as usual.

Tomorrow she had to get up early, so she took a rest early.

Mrs. Mu's room was brightly lit.

"What did the person sent say?" Mrs. Mu asked worriedly.

Fang shook her head, "Still haven't come back."

Mrs. Mu sighed, and said again: "There are still several hours before dawn, you can send someone to guard it. If General Li hasn't come back tomorrow morning, I will go to the palace to beg for help with my old face." I'm begging the Queen Mother. After all, we can't let others see our jokes."

Fang said in a deep voice, "That's the only way to go."

"By the way, where's the second child?" Mrs. Mu asked, "I haven't seen him for several days."

Fang replied truthfully: "Second Uncle hasn't come back for several days, he must be busy outside."

Mrs. Mu snorted, "What is there to do? No matter how busy you are, you can't help but go home."

She made up her mind that after Mu Qingyu's matter was resolved, she would tell Tong Qiurui to hurry through the door.

Fang was busy until late at night before resting, and got up early before dawn, and asked the people who were squatting at the gate of the city, but Li Zhao still did not come back.

Fang glanced at Yubai in the sky, and let out a long sigh.

If you don't come back at this hour, today's wedding appointment cannot be fulfilled.

She immediately went to Mrs. Mu and asked Mrs. Mu to go to the palace as soon as possible.

Mrs. Mu also expected such an outcome, she was already fully dressed, and after asking someone to prepare the carriage, she was going to the gate.

Before leaving the courtyard, there was a person standing at the gate of the courtyard, it was Mu Qingyu who was wearing thin clothes.

"Yu'er, why are you here?" Fang asked, "Is it cold with so little clothes?"

Mu Qingyu smiled and said: "I'm not cold, I have to wear wedding clothes later, I'm too lazy to wear other clothes."

There was a blush on her face, and she smiled shyly, which was full of anticipation and joy of being married.

Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Fang felt bitter when they saw it.

"Grandma, where are you going?" Mu Qingyu asked.

Mrs. Mu said in a deep voice, "Yu'er, you know...General Li hasn't come back yet..."

"Grandmother," Mu Qingyu said with clear eyes, "don't worry, General Li will definitely be back. If you want to go out for this matter, you don't have to go out."

"Yu'er, General Li is not coming back now, and it is almost impossible to come back later. Even if he comes back in a hurry, he might miss the auspicious time. You listen to me, let the old lady go to the palace for a while, Pick a good day." Fang said a lot of words.

But Mu Qingyu still stubbornly said: "Don't bother, I think today is fine."

Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Fang looked at each other, Mrs. Mu continued to persuade: "Yu'er, now is not the time to be arrogant."

Mu Qingyu only begged: "Grandmother, trust me this time."

She stood at the gate of the courtyard and refused to let go. In the end, Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Fang were defeated.

"Forget it, today is your good day, so I'll listen to you. You can go back and make up." Mrs. Mu sighed.

Mu Qingyu said happily, "Thank you, grandma."

Seeing Mu Qingyu leave, Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Fang had complicated expressions.

"Mother, Yu'er is self-willed, should we pamper her?" Fang was still unwilling, and always felt that it was better to ask the Queen Mother's will to change another day.

"Forget it, you can send some people to wait at the gate of the city." Mrs. Mu turned around and went inside.

When the sky slowly dawned, the guests all came to the door.

Mu Qingqiu and Guo Nian'er helped the Fang family greet the guests.

With so many guests, the two of them were so busy that they didn't even touch the ground.

The guests knew that Guo Nian'er was just a cousin of the Duke's Mansion, but Mrs. Mu spread the news that she had a sore eyeball, and no one dared to underestimate her.

Guo Nian'er was talking to the young ladies and was about to lure them to sit in the flower hall when he suddenly heard Mu Qingqiu's angry voice behind him.
