Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Seeing that Lu Ming ignored her and instead stared at Su Wanyun, Xiao Qingyun was displeased. Could this bastard be trying to use the marriage to provoke Su Wanyun?

When Su Wanyun saw Lu Ming looking at her, she wondered if he was trying to provoke her by mentioning marriage. However, she wouldn't be provoked by it, since she genuinely wanted to see Lu Ming get married.

Su Wanyun then asked, "Qingyun is right. If you like Mu Yunyan, then you should let her join the family as soon as possible. The Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion does indeed need a mistress now."

Seeing that Su Wanyun had said this and that she didn't seem to have any other unpleasant feelings, Lu Ming knew that Su Wanyun genuinely wanted him to get married, so he said, "Okay, I'll listen to Sister Yun. I'll write a memorial and report it to the court right away."

The reason Lu Ming came to talk to Su Wanyun was because he was worried that Su Wanyun might be jealous and unhappy since he had recently said he liked her but was about to marry another woman as his princess.

Now it seems that I was just overthinking things. Su Wanyun probably never even had the idea of ​​being the mistress of the royal palace. Perhaps in Su Wanyun's heart, the position of princess could belong to anyone, but not her.

Lu Ming knew that Su Wanyun was shy. Although he had considered making Su Wanyun a princess, he thought it was better not to force her, considering that Su Wanyun might not be able to overcome that hurdle.

As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, he turned and left Youlan Courtyard. As soon as Lu Ming left, Xiao Qingyun immediately said to Su Wanyun, "Wanyun, you can rest assured now."

“Once the princess enters the household, the Xiaoyao Prince’s Mansion will no longer need us, and then we should leave the Xiaoyao Prince’s Mansion.”

Hearing Xiao Qingyun's words, Su Wanyun was slightly stunned.

Suddenly, a sense of unease arose in her heart.

Yes, if Lu Ming no longer needs me, do I still have a reason to stay in the Prince of Xiaoyao's Mansion?
If she leaves the Carefree Prince's Mansion, what will happen to the love poison in Lu Ming's body? Now that Lu Ming is affected by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden Technique, he needs to make love to her every now and then. She absolutely cannot leave Lu Ming or the Carefree Prince's Mansion.

Another thing that worried her was that if Mu Yunyan married into the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion and became the official princess, she might not be able to stand the two of them, who had no official status, continuing to stay in the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion. Perhaps Mu Yunyan would directly make them leave the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

If they continue to stubbornly stay in the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion even after Mu Yunyan has told them to leave, it will definitely have a certain impact on the mansion if word gets out.

In the past, they could make excuses to say that they were taking care of Lu Ming. But Lu Ming already had a princess, so naturally he didn't need the two of them, who had no official status, to continue taking care of him.

Seeing the worry on Su Wanyun's face, Xiao Qingyun felt actually very happy. After Lu Ming and Mu Yunyan got married, Su Wanyun would probably give up on Lu Ming.

Perhaps before she even completes her deal with Lu Ming, Su Wanyun will agree to leave the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion with her.

If Su Wanyun were to leave the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion with him on her own initiative, then he would no longer have to make deals with that bastard and would no longer be toyed with by him.

……

After leaving the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion, Mu Yongfeng did not go home, but went directly to the Zhenling Guard.

Although he had agreed to marry his daughter to Prince Xiaoyao, Prince Xiaoyao's status was special, and his marriage to his princess still needed to be approved by the imperial court. Mu Yunyan would not be able to marry into Prince Xiaoyao's mansion for the time being.

He should now continue to consolidate his position in the Zhenling Guard, accumulate more power for the Carefree King, and continue to investigate the evil spirits' massacre of the village, collecting more evidence of the emperor's crimes in preparation for exposing the emperor's atrocities in the future.

Just as Mu Yongfeng arrived at the gate of Zhenling Guard and was about to go to his office, a Zhenling Guard soldier suddenly came up to him and said, "Sir, the Supervisor wants you to go to the Star Gazing Tower."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yongfeng wondered if the supervisor had discovered that the evil spirits were still massacring the village and was planning to deal with the matter personally.
Mu Yongfeng then went directly to the Star Gazing Tower. At this moment, on the upper floor of the Star Gazing Tower, an old man dressed in a white robe sat upright in front of a table. The old man had white hair and a long white beard, and had an otherworldly air about him, looking just like an immortal.

Soon, a guard's voice came from the doorway, "My lord, Lord Mu has arrived."

Sikong Cheng said indifferently, "Come in."

The next moment, Mu Yongfeng arrived at the pavilion. "Greetings, sir! May I ask what brings you here?"

Sikong Cheng said expressionlessly, "You've been spending a bit too much time with the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion these days."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yongfeng was stunned for a moment. He immediately realized that someone had clearly informed Sikong Cheng that he had gone to the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion.

I don't know if Sikong Cheng planted spies in the Prince's mansion, or if Sikong Cheng doesn't trust me and has been sending people to keep an eye on me.

Mu Yongfeng said, "The Prince of Xiaoyao has taken a liking to my daughter and intends to make her his princess consort, so I have been going to the Prince of Xiaoyao's residence these past two days to discuss this matter."

Upon hearing Mu Yongfeng's words, Sikong Cheng's brows furrowed into a deep frown, and his face instantly turned gloomy.

After a moment, Sikong Cheng spoke up: "Yongfeng, you should know that I don't want to get involved with the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, right?"

As Sikong Cheng spoke, a powerful aura emanated from his body, and Mu Yongfeng immediately felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making it extremely difficult to breathe.

Mu Yongfeng forced himself to say, "This was proposed by the Prince of Xiaoyao. Given the Prince of Xiaoyao's noble status, I had no choice but to agree."

Sikong Cheng said coldly, "He's nothing but a good-for-nothing who lost his parents' protection. You actually take his words seriously?"

Upon hearing Sikong Cheng's words, Mu Yongfeng fell silent. Seeing that Mu Yongfeng did not speak, Sikong Cheng continued, "Mu Yunyan is from the Star Gazing Tower. If he wants to marry Mu Yunyan, he will have to ask me if I agree."

Mu Yongfeng thought to himself, just as he expected, Sikong Cheng would not agree to marry his daughter into the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

Mu Yongfeng then said, "My lord, Prince Xiaoyao should have already submitted his memorial to the court. Perhaps it won't be long before the Ministry of Rites announces my daughter's marriage to Prince Xiaoyao."

Sikong Cheng said indifferently, "I can make the court reject his memorial with just one sentence."

At this point, Sikong Cheng glanced at Mu Yongfeng and then continued, "As for you, you were promoted by me, yet you secretly married off the future pillar of the Zhenling Guard to a good-for-nothing. What are your intentions?"

Mu Yongfeng quickly said, "Please forgive me, sir."

Sikong Cheng seemed to have thought of something and continued, "It seems that the Prince of Xiaoyao has caught your Mu family in some way."

Sikong Cheng was a seasoned veteran who had lived for over a hundred years; he wasn't stupid, and he didn't believe Mu Yongfeng was stupid either.

Is it possible that Mu Yongfeng would marry his daughter to Lu Ming simply because Lu Ming is the son of the old Prince Xiaoyao? (End of Chapter)
