Chapter 296 - You Are Not like Your Father (1/2)

It was like what Shi Juncai had expected.

Hearing that You Si’s descendants would occupy the position of Duke Shi for long, Mo Shujun put on a long face. “I can steal her husband, and her descendants will never win my offspring.”

Before Shi Juncai got overjoyed, Mo Shujun poured cold water on him. “Juncai, I made a mistake. The only person who will inherit your father’s title in the future is Junfeng.”

“Mother!” Shi Juncai had heard Mo Shujun’s promise just now, yet he was disillusioned soon.

A pie fell from the sky and didn’t hit him but fell on Shi Junfeng who was an unimpressive fence-sitter.

Even though Shi Juncai respected Mo Shujun a lot, he was furious after hearing that and asked in reply anxiously, “Why? I…”

Mo Shujun waved her hand and interrupted Shi Juncai. She just said, “Don’t worry. You are my most loved child, and I won’t treat you unfairly, yet you’d better not think about your father’s title.”

She made this decision forcefully and seemed not to see how terrible Shi Juncai’s face was. She merely stared at him quietly, as if seeing another person.

After a long time, Mo Shujun suddenly said, “You are not like your father at all.”

Her words made Shi Juncai’s indignation stuck in his throat and he couldn’t spit it out, nor could he swallow it. At last, he had to lower his head cloudily.

He clenched his fingers into two fists tightly.

Mo Shujun was lost in thought and didn’t notice that.

On the third day of the lunar twelfth month in the forty-second year after the Mo Dynasty was founded.

It was the wedding date of Infanta Baoning and General Wenren. The emperor granted the marriage in person, and the mansion of the Wenren family had dinner served separately as the guests arrived in succession, which made the whole capital city bustling with noise and excitement.

The line of the people who carried dowries was five kilometers long, and people on horseback were sent to pick up the bride.

It seemed that there was joy even in the air.

The bride Shi Baoning was the happiest woman this day.

The festive sounds of firecrackers and lively music from instruments such as suona as well as a great cheer gathered and wished happiness to her and Wenren Chi.

Shi Baoning’s head was covered with a red bridal veil all the way, and she couldn’t see anybody.

She was joyful and flurried from time to time.

She was quite nervous all day. When she came back to earth, she was led into the bridal chamber and then sat on the wedding bed, waiting for her groom.

It was silent in the room. Shi Baoning managed with effort to observe the surroundings from the cracks under the bridal veil.

It was brightly lit in the room with candlelight swaying. What she could see were all brand-new and exquisite furniture and decoration.

Obviously, the master of the room made a lot of effort to make arrangements.

The master of the room!

At the thought of these words, Shi Baoning felt so happy that she was almost suffocated.

She would become the mistress of this mansion soon.

The only mistress.

Shi Baoning was excited and restrained herself, so she didn’t lift the bridal veil to check the room carefully.

When she was restless, the room door was opened with a creak.

Then deep footsteps came from afar and moved to the wedding bed step by step.

Each footstep seemed to step on Shi Baoning’s heart, which pounded violently with the footsteps.

Till the comer stood in front of Shi Baoning, her heart was in her mouth, which made her almost unable to breathe.

She saw that a balance arm lifted her bridal veil gently from bottom to top.

Shi Baoning raised her head and happened to meet Wenren Chi’s bright and stable eyes.

Their eyes met, and Shi Baoning’s heart quieted down at once, and the surroundings disappeared in an instant seemingly.

Her eyes could only hold him, and only she was in his eyes.

After a long time, Wenren Chi reached out his hand to Shi Baoning and smiled faintly. “Let’s drink cross-cupped wine.”

Shi Baoning blushed and lowered her head with shyness. She moved her hand aimlessly for a long while and then reached out to Wenren Chi’s hand.

She responded cautiously and gently, “Okay.”

Wenren Chi looked at the shy woman and didn’t get impatient.

After he led Shi Baoning to have a seat at the table, he personally poured two cups of wine and then gave one to Shi Baoning.

When Shi Baoning received the cup, the back of her hand got close to Wenren Chi’s boiling hot fingers by accident, and she was shocked and shrank back immediately. Then she lowered her head in panic again.

She was so shy and hurried, greatly different from the first young lady of the Shi family who was always dignified and calm in Wenren Chi’s memories.

Wenren Chi felt fresh and didn’t dislike her.

He didn’t dislike Shi Baoning but even felt that she had a different style.

She was so lovable that he was attracted by her.

Wenren Chi couldn’t help but chuckle. He involuntarily and even forcefully caressed Shi Baoning’s ruddy face with luster.

When Shi Baoning raised her head in doubt, he showed a big smile again and said gently, “Honey, you are so lovely.”
