Chapter 1046: Chapter 1048: Xiang Yun’s Grand Wedding (5)

Boss Ma felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over his head upon hearing that, sending a chill down his spine. Previously, when he boasted to her about how much money he could earn and how capable he was by sharing the affairs of the inn, he never imagined that it would backfire and become a vulnerable spot she could tightly grasp!

Seeing Boss Ma’s defeated demeanor, Lady Bai reverted to her act of an innocent white lotus and delicately said, "Old Master, I have borne you a son already. Let’s not dwell on matters that don’t concern us. Lady Mo is old and lacks charm, unable to serve you well. Why would you still think of her? Would it not be wonderful for the three of us to live a good life together?"

Of course, it wouldn’t!

If Lady Bai hadn’t threatened him, Boss Ma might still feel a bit guilty towards her, but after hearing those words from her, all he felt was disgust and hatred. Living with such a scheming, sinister viper beside his pillow made it impossible for him to settle down and live peacefully with her!

However, as much as he despised her, he really didn’t dare challenge her. If she were to disclose his misdeeds of embezzling for personal gain, his career as the big shopkeeper would be over. Things could even escalate to legal proceedings!

Boss Ma had no choice but to remain quiet and dare not bring up divorcing his wife again, yet while he appeared calm, his mind itched annoyingly like a cat’s scratch. Lady Mo’s indifferent and efficient demeanor always loomed in his mind. She had been his wife for over ten years, yet he had never enjoyed such an allure from her, leaving him helpless and deeply frustrated!

This restless and agitated state continued for several days, and in a blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of July. In two more days, it would be the grand wedding day of the daughter of the Marquis of Jian’an and the young master from the Second room of Duke Li Guo’s Mansion. Jufude had already accepted Duke Li Guo Mansion’s order to prepare the banquet on the eighth day.

The Duke Li Guo’s mansion was the Empress’s parental home, and the future maternal grandparents’ house of the Emperor. He dared not be the least bit negligent, thus he had to set aside his personal issues and focus all his energy on preparing for the wedding banquet.

Cai Wei also prepared some gifts for their grand wedding, presenting two basins of blooming Blue Snow Lotus to the Duke Li Guo’s Mansion as a congratulation gift.

Blue Snow Lotus was an extremely rare flower that grew at altitudes of 4500 meters in the far north, nestled between cliffs and crevices. The blossoms were a light blue color, with a delicate and enduring fragrance. Empress Mo, a lover of flowers, had dispatched dozens of people to search for it, and after four years, they finally found a plant on a foreign snowy mountain cliff, which was then laboriously transported back to the Capital and cherished in the Jade Palace like a precious treasure.

Unfortunately, the Empress was under house arrest a few months ago, and the Blue Snow Lotus, due to negligence, died. After her release, she grieved for a long time, composed many poems to mourn it, and ordered the court painter to paint the Blue Snow Lotus, which was then hung in her sleeping chamber to soothe her longing.

It can be said that the gift she was sending was truly unique in the Great Jin, and though it was merely a plant, it was priceless!

For Xiang Yun’s gift, she hesitated for a long time but eventually decided to give the Amethyst Jade Head Face set from the Zhenbao Pavilion as the grand wedding gift. Although this set was quite precious and made her feel a bit of a pinch, recalling the scene at the hunting ground when Xiang Yun fought fiercely with Helana for her sake while pretending to faint and considering that Xiang Yun would soon be Fei’er’s sister-in-law, she felt that this set of jewelry was worth giving.

After making arrangements, she specifically went to Zhenbao Pavilion, intending to take the head decorations back home, planning to visit Xiang Yun’s house tomorrow to present the gift.

Upon arriving at Zhenbao Pavilion, no sooner had she entered the shop than Manager Feng eagerly greeted her, wearing a somewhat proud expression, and said, "Boss, that set of Amethyst Jade Head Face has been sold!"
