Chapter 1451 Let's get married at the end of the year.
Mu Ning got up very early on the weekend because she was going to pick up the Third Madam.
When she left, the aunt mentioned that the third wife had a lot of complaints about Zhuang Shiyuan accompanying her to school, and told her to be prepared that she might get a lecture.
However, the third wife wouldn't get angry; she might just be a little more serious in her words.
Mu Ning was extremely worried. It wasn't her fault for encouraging Zhuang Shiyuan to do that. If the Third Madam hadn't called to ask her, she wouldn't have known at all that Zhuang Shiyuan had taken her to school in the morning, picked her up at noon, and waited outside the school the whole time without leaving. This happened on Tuesday and Friday as well. When Mu Ning questioned Zhuang Shiyuan later, he denied it, showing her his phone records. Even though his mother had come to confront him, he was still pretending.
Zhuang Shiyuan didn't care. "Anyway, I'm just idling around. What's the harm in spending the morning there? This way, I don't have to run back and forth."
Mu Ning wouldn't listen to him and was still sulking, so she went out early in the morning.
Upon arriving at the airport, Mu Ning was surprised to see Miss Zhuang. She glanced at her stomach instinctively and moved closer to her with concern.
"Are you alright?" I was quite worried.
Seventeen smiled and nodded, "How can you go out if you're not feeling well?"
Mu Ning stuck out her tongue before greeting the Third Madam: "Aunt Huo."
"Come on, sit with me. Aunt Huo has something to tell you," Huo Yan said earnestly, then glanced at Zhuang Laoyao and the eldest young lady, "You two take the other car."
When Mu Ning heard Huo Yan call her by her given name, her heart skipped a beat. It seemed the beautiful and gentle Third Madam truly held a deep grudge against her. Just as she was worrying about this, she heard Zhuang Laoyao's voice beside her.
"Receive the imperial decree!"
Mu Ning immediately turned her head to look, her face twitching: Holy crap! What kind of look is this? Is she out of touch with the times, or has Second Master's aesthetic sense become warped?
“Your sleeve…”
"Tear it up!"
“Hehe,” Mu Ning chuckled dryly, offering a meaningful comment, “Truly special!”
"That's right, that's what we want – to be special!" Zhuang Shijue said with an air of arrogance, exuding an unconventional and extraordinary aura!
Mu Ning's face twitched again, and she barely managed to look away. Come on, she was born with such a good appearance, yet she had to ruin herself like this. So there really were people who had a grudge against her soul.
Old Master Zhuang's outfit wasn't particularly special, but it was certainly memorable. He was shirtless, his sleeve torn, his left arm bare, and his right leg exposed, roughly from the knee down. Everything else was normal. The sleeveless shirt was a dark gray knit sweater worn under a vest. It's worth mentioning that the vest Old Master Zhuang was wearing was down-filled—down-filled!
It's probably just that the young master wanted to experience the agonizing feeling of ice and fire!
What Mu Ning didn't understand was, even though Third Master Zhuang wasn't there, how could Old Master Zhuang dare to appear in front of his beloved mother dressed like that?
The people got into the car one after the other. Ren was driving in front, with Zhuang Laoyao and the eldest young lady inside. Kou Quan was said to be returning in a few days. An was driving behind. Once Huo Yan and Mu Ning were seated, the car started moving.
The car started moving, slowly following behind the car in front. Mu Ning glanced at Huo Yan cautiously, sensing that the Third Madam didn't seem inclined to pay her any attention, so she decided not to initiate conversation. She knew the Third Madam didn't really like overly assertive people.
Halfway through the journey, after entering the ring road, Huo Yan finally spoke.
"Mu Ning, you've taken care of Shi Yuan all these years, it must have been so hard for you."
"..." Mu Ning paused for a moment, then turned to Huo Yan, "Aunt Huo..."
"Listen to me, Aunt Huo isn't blaming you for not taking good care of Zhuang Shiyuan. Aunt Huo has seen all your hard work and dedication," Huo Yan said with a smile.
Mu Ning still didn't understand what the Third Madam meant. After a pause, she took the initiative to say, "Aunt Huo, don't worry, I'll take a taxi to school by myself from now on, without a driver. That way, Brother Shiyuan won't come with me. I know you're worried about him, and I understand that I didn't think it through."
"Yes, I'm glad you understand. But what Aunt Huo wants to say is, why don't we hold your wedding with Shiyuan at the end of this year?" Huo Yan said with a smile.
This gentle sentence almost made Mu Ning's heart explode. After a long while, she finally spoke softly, "Um, I'm still in school?"
“There are plenty of female graduate students who have children, so what’s the big deal?” Huo Yan laughed. “I understand your concerns very well. I went through the same thing back then. You are still young, and there are some things you can’t think about too much. So, obedient children will avoid detours and have a less tiring life.” Huo Yan spoke softly, but it was actually a heartfelt statement.
Zhuang Zhou was mostly a mentor to her. Although he was a bit domineering, it was all for her own good.
Therefore, Huo Yan was not forcing the younger generation as an elder. The child knew nothing and could only think of a limited range of things, so it was understandable that he refused to listen.
But Mu Ning didn't quite understand what Huo Yan meant by her half-hearted words.
Does that mean she'll have a very tiring life if she doesn't want to get married?
Mu Ning frowned and said with a bitter expression, "Actually, Zhuang Shiyuan is very weak right now, and marriage is not suitable for him..."
"So Aunt Huo didn't say now. There are still a few months until the end of the year. By then, Shiyuan should have recovered quite a bit." Huo Yan saw that Mu Xiaoniu's words didn't seem to contain much reluctance, so she spoke much more cheerfully, probably because she was happy.
"Hehe, I'll listen to Shiyuan, let him make the decision." Mu Ning directly pushed the matter onto Zhuang Shiyuan.
She couldn't refuse the noble, elegant, beautiful, and generous third wife, but it was much easier for Zhuang Shiyuan to say it.
This was taught to her by her wise mother: never go against your mother-in-law, and never refuse any of her mother-in-law's requests in person; you have to let your husband do it.
When Aunt Huo looked at Mu Ning, she loved her more and more. Look at her body, how well she's taken care of herself. If she were to have a grandson, she would have plenty of nutrition. Huo Yan was very satisfied with this.
"Aunt Huo knows you're a good child, she didn't misjudge you." Huo Yan patted Mu Ning's hand. This silly child was her favorite. She should listen to what Mu Ning said. That's good, that's good.
Mu Ning felt uncomfortable under Huo Yan's gaze. She scratched her hair, hoping that Zhuang Shiyuan would listen to her and persuade his mother.
Huo Yan had prepared a lot of words to persuade Mu Ning, but the girl was too easy to talk to. She just wanted to say that since Mu Ning was still in graduate school, it would be great if she could have a child soon—a daughter didn't count, she hoped for a son. Furthermore, another reason for wanting Mu Ning and Zhuang Shiyuan to get married quickly was to have the youngest child.
