Chapter 948: Chapter 950: Meeting the Parents-in-law (5)

"What? She said the same thing?" Mu Zhongqing and Lady Du were a bit stunned.

"Indeed, not only that, she forbade me from taking concubines, even a chambermaid is not allowed!"

Nangong Yi picked up the teacup from the table and took a sip, his face brimming with a smile.

At this, Mu Zhongqing and Lady Du were even more bewildered, "Then why is she still with you?"

"It’s simple!"

Nangong Yi set down the teacup, looked at Mu Zhongqing and his wife with a magnanimous gaze, "I agreed to her demands, and only then was she willing to be with me!"

"This, this is impossible, Your Highness, you must be joking!"

Not taking concubines, not even having a chambermaid, how could that be? It wasn’t just Mu Zhongqing and Lady Du who didn’t believe it, even Auntie Liu who was serving by the side couldn’t believe it.

However, Nangong Yi said, "Before I met her, I also thought it was impossible, but after I had her, I realized that all the women in the world are just her foil. If I say I will marry only her in this lifetime, the two seniors here would not believe me and think I, Nangong Yi, am lying. Therefore, I will inform the Imperial Father and Imperial Mother and within three days, come to your mansion to propose. By then, the parents-in-law will see my sincerity!"

Mu Zhongqing did not expect Nangong Yi to say these words, and even less did he expect him to come to their house to propose within three days. He immediately became excited and said, "In that case, I will wait at home for King Qin’s arrival. I will not break my promise; if King Qin truly seeks my daughter’s hand in marriage as his official wife, I am willing to give her away!"

"Pop--"

Cai Wei, who had been hiding outside the door eavesdropping, couldn’t hold back her laughter at her dad’s statement ’I am willing to give her away’, which struck her funny bone. Mu Zhongqing’s face turned red, and he quickly realized the faux pas in his words, becoming stuck there, but fortunately, Lady Du, quick-witted in the crisis, helped him escape from the predicament.

"Your Highness, since your relationship can be settled within three days, let us return to our manor for now. Once the marital affair with our daughter is settled, you may meet her then, if that’s agreeable?"

Nangong Yi said humbly and politely, "I shall follow Mother-in-law’s instructions; as the son-in-law, I obey."

Now, Mu Zhongqing and his wife were satisfied. The clouds of worry that had hung over them these past days all dispersed. They had feared that their daughter would be mistreated as a minor, but now they knew not only would she not be a minor, but there wouldn’t even be a ’minor’ in the future King Qin’s Mansion. King Qin was utterly devoted to her, willingly remaining chaste for her.

At this moment, the couple felt quite accomplished, even somewhat proud. The daughter they had raised was truly remarkable!

Nangong Yi left earlier than planned, complying with Mu Zhongqing couple’s request not to meet Cai Wei privately. Cai Wei, moved yet a little disappointed, wished she could share the joy of success with him.

Before leaving, the man left his horse carriage and ritual entourage behind, asking Chai Feng to escort them back to the manor, and he arranged with Mu Zhongqing that he would inform his Imperial Father and Mother today, and would definitely come to their manor to propose within three days!

After Nangong Yi left, Mu Zhongqing and Lady Du, along with their children, contentedly boarded the horse carriage bestowed by their son-in-law and set off for their own manor.

The manor they were currently in was located in the northern suburbs of the Capital, while Mu Family’s manor was in the southern suburbs of the Capital. Therefore, to return to their own manor, they had to traverse the entire Capital.

The horse carriage bearing the insignia of King Qin’s Mansion slowly entered the Capital and proceeded down the main road. Since there were people clearing the way in front and soldiers guarding behind, the commoners automatically stood aside, watching with envious and respectful expressions as the magnificent procession departed.

Outside, the streets were as bustling as ever, cries of hawkers and sellers rising and falling. Wen’er and Wu’er had been cooped up in the manor for two days and were bursting with energy. Hearing the lively atmosphere outside, the two youngsters simply kneeled on their seats, lifted the curtain, and stuck their round little heads out to look, occasionally reporting what they saw to their parents inside the carriage.
