Chapter 315 Determined to Win
Wouldn't she be a widow if she married him then? Now that Nangong Junze has recovered, she naturally can't give him up. He is just an orphan, how can he be compared with her? She has plenty of ways to make her leave on her own.
Thinking of this, Mu Yiyun suddenly had an idea in her mind. She raised her eyes and glanced at where Nangong Junze was. Mu Yiyun's face was full of pride. She was determined to get Nangong Junze.
……
The legend of the marriage tree in Hu'en Temple has a long history. It is said that the two trees are so close that they can be hugged, with their roots connected and their branches and leaves intertwined. Many people come here to admire its reputation.
The two of them came to Qinglong Temple together, and seeing the lush branches and leaves of the marriage tree in front of them, relying on each other and being intertwined, people were very respectful.
Nangong Junze looked at Wen Leshi praying earnestly, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and then he stood aside and waited. Seeing the people around him boldly expressing their feelings, Nangong Junze couldn't help but feel a little envious. Seeing Wen Leshi coming over, Nangong Junze looked aside as if nothing had happened.
Wen Leshi naturally didn't dare to pray for him to go with her. Now that he could accompany her, it was enough for her. Knowing that there was no possibility between the two of them, Wen Leshi buried this feeling deep in her heart.
"Let's go! We should go back!"
After Wen Leshi finished speaking, she walked directly down the mountain. Nangong Junze clearly felt that something was quietly changing, but he could not let it go. He could only follow Wen Leshi's back and leave.
Wen Leshi hadn't said a single word to Nangong Junze since they had returned to the palace. Nangong Junze followed behind Wen Leshi silently, and seeing her silent and speechless all the way, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Thinking of how she usually kept telling him new things, she was a little bit calm now, which made him feel a little bit overwhelmed.
"Le..." Before Nangong Junze could finish his words, Mu Yiyun's voice interrupted him.
"Cousin! So you're here! Yiyun has been looking for you for a long time!"
Hearing Mu Yiyun calling him, Nangong Junze could only stop and look at her and ask, "Why are you here?"
Nangong Junze did not show any closeness to this distant cousin. After all, when he was suffering in the palace, his uncle, Mu Taifu, did not help him.
If it weren't for the fact that his mother took pity on him and asked his father to send people to take better care of him, he would have passed away long ago. Later, when his father ascended the throne, Grand Tutor Mu began to pay attention to him. He was not unaware of the rumors circulating outside, but he had no intention of getting married, so he naturally didn't take them to heart.
Later, he was poisoned and dying, so the Mu family gradually distanced themselves from him. Now when he saw Mu Yiyun again, Nangong Junze's eyes were very calm, but when he saw her blocking his way, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.
Listening to Nangong Junze's words, Mu Yiyun's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Nangong Junze worriedly and said:
"I heard that my cousin didn't attend the morning court today. Father was worried about him, so he asked Yiyun to come and check on him. Is there anything wrong with him?"
After Mu Yiyun finished speaking, he moved closer to Nangong Junze.
Wen Leshi looked back and saw Nangong Mojunze and Mu Yiyun standing together intimately. They looked like a perfect match. Wen Leshi felt a pang in her heart and left quickly.
Nangong Junze didn't want to get too involved with Mu Yiyun, so he said a few simple words and looked towards Wen Leshi, but found that Wen Leshi had disappeared. Suppressing the disappointment in his eyes, Nangong Junze walked past Mu Yiyun and left.
Mu Yiyun naturally did not miss the disappointment in Nangong Junze's eyes. She did not expect that Nangong Junze actually cared so much about the orphan girl. In that case, she could not just sit there and wait for death. However, thinking of her own plan, Mu Yiyun couldn't help but smile. Looking at Nangong Junze's departing back, Mu Yiyun was determined to win.
Wen Leshi returned to the room, and thinking of the scene just now, she could no longer suppress the tears in her eyes. However, thinking that she was about to leave here, Nangong Junze's affairs naturally had nothing to do with her. Wen Leshi had a good idea, but she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart. In order to stop herself from thinking about it, Wen Leshi directly asked for a pot of wine, and then drank it by herself.
Nangong Junze returned to the bedroom and began to get busy, as if only by being busy could he temporarily take off his disguise. Listening to the sound coming from outside the door, Nangong Junze's eyes flashed with impatience. He thought Huan Wu would stop people outside the door, but Mu Yiyun rushed in directly.
Mu Yiyun had always considered herself Nangong Junze's fiancée, and this was no secret in the palace. So when Mu Yiyun forced her way in, the guards couldn't stop her forcefully. Seeing Nangong Junze's gloomy face, the guards hurriedly bowed and apologized: "Your Highness, please forgive me! Miss Mu..."
Before the guard could finish, Nangong Junze said, "This will not happen again!"
Hearing Nangong Junze give him a chance, the guard hurriedly bowed and responded: "Yes!"
Mu Yiyun had never thought that Nangong Junze would be so ruthless to her. If it was that orphan girl, I wonder if the situation would be different! Concealing the gloom in her eyes, Mu Yiyun hurriedly looked at Nangong Junze and said softly:
"Knowing how hard it's been for my cousin, Yiyun specially prepared some jujube paste pastries and some chicken soup with codonopsis pilosula, which is the most nourishing. Now that my cousin has just recovered, he shouldn't overwork himself!"
Listening to Mu Yiyun's words, Nangong Junze said coldly without even raising his head: "Put it down! It's getting late, you should go back early! Otherwise, people will misunderstand you!"
Mu Yiyun looked at Nangong Junze in surprise. She didn't expect him to be so ruthless. Thinking of the purpose of her visit, Mu Yiyun naturally would not leave easily.
"Cousin, you're angry because Yiyun hasn't come to visit you during this period. But, cousin, Yiyun has his own reasons!"
As Mu Yiyun spoke, she covered her face and cried, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Nangong Junze looked at Mu Yiyun crying and felt annoyed. Seeing Mu Yiyun getting closer and closer, Nangong Junze instinctively took two steps back.
"I never blame you. Men and women should not touch each other. Now we are all grown up, so naturally we can't be as fearless as we were when we were young."
Mu Yiyun had never thought that even though she had already lowered herself and made compromises, Nangong Junze could still remain calm. Thinking of the rumors outside, Mu Yiyun's heart sank. Could it be that Nangong Junze was really as the rumors said? But no matter what, she couldn't care less now. She had to marry Nangong Junze, otherwise, what awaited her would be even worse. After all, she couldn't wait any longer!
