”Liu Xu?!” ”Isn't that?!” The City Lord's expression instantly changed.
”Hmm? ”Not what?” Liu Yunqi asked doubtfully.
”Ahem ~ It's nothing, it's just a small request, I agree.” Stunned, the city lord cleared his throat and waved his hand as if he didn't care much about it.
”Also, all gifts that you receive will belong to me.” Liu Yunqi added.
The city lord's mouth twitched slightly and said, ”Good …” ”If there are any other requests, I'll raise them together.”
”It's temporarily gone. If there's anything else I need to replenish, I'll look for you.” Liu Yunqi said.
”En, since that's the case, let's quickly end this matter. The wedding is set for three days later. You should also prepare yourself.”
”Three days later?! ”So fast?!”
In the center of the streets of the Unparalleled City, crowds of people were gathering in front of the bulletin board.
”It is a joyous occasion for the people of the earth and the sky to celebrate together. My daughter will be married in three days. All the citizens of Wu Shuang City will be exempted from taxes for three days from today until the wedding day. ” The people of a city began to chant loudly.
”City Lord is wise ~!”
Immediately, cheers sounded out around the announcement board, and the citizens all rushed to tell each other everything, and the news quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the Peerless City, and all the citizens suddenly praised the City Lord, and his prestige in the entire Peerless City rose greatly.
At the same time, the citizens of the city were all very curious. Who was it that was so lucky to be able to marry such a beautiful, goddess-like daughter?
Marquis Cao's Mansion, study.
Marquis Cao looked at the bald man in front of him in confusion. If the Groom Search Competition had yet to come to an end, who could his daughter marry? Do you know who it is? ”
”This... ”The atmosphere in the City Lord's Mansion is very tense, so …”
”Trash!” You can't catch him! You can't even find out what happened?! Go check! ”We must find out who the groom is!” Marquis Cao was so angry that he immediately threw the teacup on the table at the bald man.
”Yes …” ”Yes.” The bald man didn't dare to complain and nodded repeatedly. He turned around and walked out of the study room. He wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and said, ”These days, it's not going to be easy ~”
In a study in a certain mansion in the city, a burly middle-aged man with a beard and a waist like that of a tiger coldly looked at his subordinate, ”City lord's daughter's grand wedding?” Is it the son of the old thing with the surname Cao? ”
”Milord, from what this subordinate knows, it isn't him.”
”Oh? ”Do you know who it is?”
”The servants in the City Lord's Mansion have no idea.”
”Is that so? As long as it's not that old thing's son, it's fine. Okay, you can go down first and continue to go to the City Lord's Mansion to find out more information.
”Yes!”
After the servant left the study, the robust middle-aged man's face was still filled with doubt, ”He's about to get married without making any noise?” Where did the City Lord get his son-in-law from? ”
City Lord's Mansion Training Room
A white bearded old man looked at the mayor in surprise, ”Oh?!” That brat was actually still Liu Shang's son? Speaking of which, does Liu Shang have such a young son? How come I've never heard of it? ”
”From the looks of it, that brat doesn't seem to be lying. Furthermore, five years ago, there was a rumor circulating in Northern Dou City that Liu Shang had an illegitimate child. ”Because it's just rumors, I didn't go into it at the time. Now that I think about it, it shouldn't be rumors.” The mayor analyzed.
”Mn, since it's not a rumor, then you better hold onto the two big trees, ~! Perhaps this is the opportunity for our Zhao Family to rise up. ” The old man said.
”Father, I know what to do.” The city lord nodded.
”En ~ Then go and busy yourself first. Send someone to notify me when the wedding is over.” With that, the old man slowly closed his eyes.
The mayor bowed to the old man respectfully before turning around and leaving.
In the City Lord's Mansion's garden, Zhao Wushuang was sitting in the pavilion in a daze, bored out of his mind. The maid Xiao Cui slowly came over with the melon fruits: ”Miss, the City Lord really wants to marry you to that child.
”Hm!” Zhao Wushuang propped his chin with one hand and stared at the flowers and plants in the garden as he made his way out of the divine way.
”I heard that you will be married in three days.” Xiao Cui said.
”Yes,” Zhao Wushuang replied.
”Miss, don't you have anything to say?” Xiao Cui asked curiously.
”Say what?” Zhao Wushuang regained his senses, and said with his blurry eyes.
”You're going to be married soon. Don't you have anything to say to commemorate your lost bachelor life?” Xiao Cui said.
”What?” I'm getting married. What are you talking about? ” Zhao Wushuang asked doubtfully.
”Miss, weren't you listening just now? The mayor married you to that child. The wedding will be three days from now. ” Xiao Cui said.
”What?!” Three days later?! How could you be so fast?! ”
”Then you'll have to ask the city lord …” Xiao Cui shrugged her shoulders, then suddenly her eyes lit up and said: ”Miss, since you are going to get married, go pick your wedding dress!”
”If you want to go, then go. If I don't go, then it's not something worth being happy about.” Zhao Wushuang curled his lips and said.
”Miss, why don't you understand? This is what you're going to wear in three days ~ How many people will come to your wedding then? If a wedding dress was too ugly, it would be you who would be the laughing stock! In any case, you will have to wear your wedding dress for Young Master to see in the future. Xiao Cui said.
”Hmm ~ Seems reasonable ~” Zhao Wushuang was moved by her words.
”Then let's go ~” Xiao Cui saw that Zhao Wushuang had loosened his grip and pulled her away.
”Hey ~ Xiao Cui ~ I don't agree yet, Xiao Cui ~” Zhao Wushuang's voice came from afar.
In Zhao Wushuang's room, Liu Yunqi entered.
Liu Yunqi dumbfoundedly looked at the few sets of wedding gowns in front of him, and the corner of his mouth slightly twitched. We just finished the discussion and the wedding dress was sent over already? ”
Liu Yunqi had a strange intuition in his heart. He felt that there was something wrong, but he was unable to put his finger on it.
