Though Tian Heng of the Black Warrior Gang received no invitation and brazenly forced himself inside the Count’s Palace, his heart was nervous in truth. He feared the groom would end up being the person he wished to see least. Seeing him, Shen Lang, would only prove to be a disaster.
But as he listened on to the distinguished guests of the Count’s Palace, his turbulent heart calmed. Many of them speculated the identity of the groom and the many names mentioned were young heroes, martial talents, literary scholars, or court and military officials.
“A martial talent? Don’t joke around. The groom is at least a scholar.”
“Yes, you’re right. The Jin Family is not an ordinary aristocratic noble, after all. Although there are some talents in the Jin Family, they’d only be relying on themselves. What’s wrong with them wanting to attain more glory and richness? A scholar can match Miss Jin Mulan’s martial talent. With this, they’re a powerful match made in heaven.”
A scholar is a grand position in this world, after all.
“Mnn. Miss Jin Mulan is a beautiful and talented goddess. Even I cannot fathom how many desire her in their dreams.”
“That’s right. It’s impossible you’d be able to marry the goddess if you’re not a scholar.”
As for Shen Lang, his name was not mentioned.
It is impossible he’d be the groom.
It is only comparing a toad to a swan.
Therefore, Tian Heng felt tremendous relief.
Meanwhile, Zhang Jin gazed intently at the gates. His heart agonized in bitter jealousy.
Who is Jin Mulan? Almost all of the young men, himself included, dreamed of becoming her one and only lover. But in reality, he knew truly why the wedding itself was hasty. It is because the Count was unwilling to marry his daughter to the Zhu Family who was already its way here.
Regardless, Zhang Jin felt slightly relieved. After all, to see one of his relatives married to her would only cause to drown in bitter pain. It is somewhat a good thing indeed.
Xu Qianqian grew ired with jealousy upon seeing the look of his fiance. She’d lash out but the image she cultivated prevented her from doing so. Instead, she laughed softly, her voice pleasing and soothing to hear. “It’s really interesting. We’re all curious to know which man is so lucky to marry Miss Jin Mulan.”
At this moment, the whole crowd quieted down.
The Count and the Countess had made their appearance.
Beside them was a plum young man who expressed an unhappy face. He was the son of the Count’s Palace.
Everyone looked on with a face full of anxiousness, ready to reveal the face of the groom.
Thud… thud… thud…
At the same time, the sounds of footsteps came from outside.
“Here comes the groom!”
Everyone leaned forward to see the lucky groom.
Their eyes were glued to the royal sedan chair. They watched on as the curtain was lifted, the door opening, and the groom gently stepping out. He wore a silver mark so his face could not be seen, but based on his lean and slender body, his white skin, he should be a scholar.
Some speculated that it was the gifted scholar, Yue Gou.
“Here comes the bride!”
At last, Jin Mulan appeared.
All the men held their breath, feeling as if they’d suffocate just seeing her from afar, whereas, all the women looked on with fiery eyes full of jealousy.
Because Jin Mulan’s husband would become her family’s son-in-law, so instead of wearing a red dress, she wore a silver dress. The dress was neutral in color and wrapped elegantly around her hip line. She looked graceful like that of an angel.
She gave off a scent that she is a general who’d fight for her family’s honor and dignity. She’d not be willing to marry into someone’s house but her own.
As she walked, the dress set fire to her devilish figure. Her charming peaks bounced slightly, her tight and plump bottoms were in full view from behind, and her long legs, caused a many men to faint.
She was beautiful and innocent, yet she looked sensual.
Suddenly, they felt jealous of the masked groom.
Jin Mulan’s expression remained indifferent. She was willing to sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of her family. In fact, Shen Lang, a non-important character, was willing to support her goals as the family’s son-in-law.
But Shen Lang’s, after all.
His intelligence is low, his life cannot be governed with the norms of society, and he’s still in the elementary level after ten years of study.
So, even for the sake of her family, to marry such a person, it was impossible to say that she did not at least feel grief and regret in her heart.\n
