Madam Li from the marquis’ residence arrived with her son for a marriage proposal—to wed Miss Lu Mingxuan from the Lu family.

They brought along numerous dowries, presenting themselves grandly.

Lu Yuanfan agreed without hesitation since having his daughter marry into the marquis’ family was already a great trade, especially after his daughter lost her innocence. It would also help salvage some dignity for their own residence.

Claiming that their passion couldn’t be contained was at least better than admitting they had engaged in an affair, right?

During this period of time, Mistress Yun had been completely crushed by Lu Junning. Once arrogant in the residence, she was now ignored by everyone.

Now that there finally came a marriage proposal from the marquis’ residence for her daughter. Mistress Yun immediately approached Lu Yuanfan, delicately expressing her desire to manage the inner courtyard once again.

However, this resulted in a scolding from Lu Yuanfan that nearly brought Mistress Yun to tears.

Mistress Yun trembled with anger and wished she could tear apart Lu Junning from limb to limb

Now she had to prepare the dowry for Lu Mingxuan, but there wasn’t much of value left. All their precious belongings had already been taken away by Lu Junning.

Mistress Yun had no choice but to dig into her private stash and use it as a dowry for her daughter.

Lu Mingxuan rarely ventured outside the courtyard. She dedicated herself either to tending her health or embroidering the wedding trousseau.

Although Mistress Yun couldn’t regain control over the household, the fact that her daughter was marrying the eldest son of the marquis’ family brought her some relief and put an end to certain unpleasant rumors within the residence.

“Daughter, hurry up and embroider your wedding trousseau,” urged Mistress Yun to Lu Mingxuan. “The date is approaching quickly, so you must hurry.”

However, Lu Mingxuan felt devoid of enthusiasm and joy about getting married.

“Mother, something doesn’t feel right. I don’t want to marry Li Yu,” said Lu Mingxuan.

“What are you saying? If not Li Yu, then who else would you marry? You have no other option but him. Don’t be stubborn,” replied an impatient Mistress Yun.

“Li Yu isn’t bad. He has good looks and comes from a respectable background. Additionally, he has no vices or scandalous behavior,” persuaded Mistress Yun.

“Now that everything is settled, stop having second thoughts. Daughter, there is no turning back for you, you can only marry Li Yu.”

Lu Mingxuan sighed deeply. “It’s all because of that wicked servant Bi Tao conspiring against me with Lu Junning.”

“Oh right, where is Bi Tao?” asked Mistress Yun.

Lu Mingxuan shook her head. “Since my return home, I haven’t seen her. I assume Lu Junning must have already gotten rid of her.”New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on Noᴠelꜰire.nᴇt

“In that case, focus on embroidering your wedding trousseau while I keep an eye on Lu Junning. It wouldn’t bode well if she ruins your marriage prospects,” instructed Mistress Yun.

Lu Mingxuan’s expression remained indifferent. Her heart couldn’t help but fill with desolation whenever she thought about the handsome Third Prince. She liked him, not Li Yu.

Marrying Li Yu meant that she would truly have no chance left with the Third Prince.

Lu Mingxuan couldn’t help but feel that it shouldn’t be this way. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. She wanted to be with the Third Prince.

Ning Shu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that the marquis’ family had come to propose marriage to Lu Mingxuan. Now all she had to do was wait for their wedding.

In addition to embroidering flowers, Ning Shu also prepared some self-defense powders such as knockout drugs and other similar substances.

The world was dangerous, and one must have the power to protect oneself. If Lu Yueyun were to return, these powders would provide her with some level of protection.

“Third Sister, Third Sister,” Lu Yujing happily called out as she came looking for Ning Shu.

Ning Shu continued embroidering roses without even lifting her head and asked, “What is it that’s made you so happy?”

Lu Yujing walked over and looked at the embroidery in Ning Shu’s hands before asking, “What kind of flower is this? Why have I never seen it before? And why does it look like a bud waiting to bloom?”

“A bud waiting to bloom is even more beautiful. What’s put you in such high spirits?” Ning Shu replied.

“Eldest Sister is going to marry into the marquis’ mansion!” Lu Yujing said as she sat down.

Ning Shu glanced at her. Not long ago, she had seemed devastated like the sky was falling. Now suddenly there was joy written all over her face.

Ning Shu thought of water hyacinths – rootless water hyacinths. When the lake’s surface was calm, they would float peacefully; but when the waves grew turbulent, they would be shaken.

Unable to find peace.
