Chapter 559 The Republic-era Miss Who Admitted Her Mistake to Her Arranged Marriage (30)
The outer hall was completely silent.
When Mu's parents heard their daughter admit that she and the young marshal were in love, they were almost stunned.
In this atmosphere, Shen Yucang clenched his fists silently.
Mu Zhou's calmness was like a heavy hammer blow that woke him up.
My chest felt as if it were filled with a sour feeling.
He should be content.
Even though Mu Zhou wasn't willing, she still accepted it in the end.
Take it slow, she'll eventually fall in love with him.
Suppressing the sharp, stabbing pain in his chest, Shen Yuncang slowly reached out and grasped Mu Zhou's hand.
Such a clear statement left Mu's parents with no choice but to accept it.
They had originally planned to ask their daughter privately what was going on and whether there was any way to salvage the situation.
After all, the young marshal's status is extraordinary. If anything were to happen to him, a family like theirs would be no match for him.
Unexpectedly, within a day, the affair between their daughter and the young marshal became the talk of the town.
Shen Juncang did not hide his trip, and Ruan Cheng soon learned of his whereabouts.
Even local officials came.
Before everyone could speculate on why he would appear in Ruancheng, another piece of news about Mu Zhou and Shen Zhecang began to circulate.
An insider revealed that the Mu family's daughter unexpectedly saved the young marshal's life during a secret business trip. The young marshal fell in love with her at first sight and came to propose marriage after recovering from his injuries.
Now, the entire Ruancheng became lively.
The Mu family, a traditional and prominent family, has once again become famous because of the fact that the young marshal saved their lives.
Mu Zhou was hurt and abandoned by a heartless man, but then the young marshal fell in love with her at first sight, and everyone's initial pity for her turned into envy.
Compared to the young marshal, what is the Shen family?
In no time, the threshold of the Mu family's house was almost worn down by the crowd.
Meanwhile, after Shen Yucang left, his mother and Mu Zhou had a long talk.
Mu Zhou did not tell the whole story of what happened in Anping, but simply made up an excuse.
Seeing that she wasn't unwilling, her mother was finally relieved.
"That's fine. After all, the world changes in an instant. Can someone like the young marshal protect you?"
At least, they won't have to endure any hardship.
After saying all this, Mu's mother began preparing the dowry.
Although everything was prepared when she married into the Shen family, now that her fiancé has become a young marshal, the dowry naturally needs to be increased.
We can't let people look down on them.
Not long after, Shen Huocang's betrothal gifts were delivered to the Mu family in a grand manner.
Cart after cart of betrothal gifts filled the entire street, a sight that left many wealthy families speechless.
The young marshal clearly values the Mu family's daughter.
A month later, Mu Zhou and Shen Huocang's wedding was held in Ruancheng.
The old warlord and a group of army commanders all came to Nguyen Thanh.
Seeing how much the other party valued their daughter, the initial worries of the Mu family parents finally dissipated.
The wedding was still held in a traditional style.
Wearing a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, they bowed to each other and got married.
Everything was done meticulously according to etiquette.
*
The wedding night.
Mu Zhou was half-forced to lie face down on the desk, tears streaming down her face.
Her slender waist was gripped tightly by Shen Huocang's large hand, rendering her unable to move.
The bright red wedding dress was loosely draped over her shoulders, looking completely disheveled.
However, it did not completely fade away.
As if on purpose, she hesitated, half-concealing her face.
Her exposed fair skin had a pinkish tinge and was covered with a fine layer of sweat.
Shen Yuncang leaned down and pressed his nose against her back, nuzzling her neck.
His deep breathing filled my ears.
Mu Zhou couldn't help but tremble.
Ever since she drank the nuptial wine, she has never been lucid.
The wine they drank was "Daughter's Red," a type of wine buried in the family the year Mu Zhou was born.
It has a mellow flavor and a strong aftertaste.
Mu Zhou started sweating and felt weak all over after drinking it.
Her sweet and gentle appearance made Shen Yucang pull her into his arms and kiss her passionately.
After getting drunk, she became much clingier, and she was exceptionally cooperative in the face of Shen Yucang's plundering.
A few tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, but she couldn't help but let them spill out.
This further amplified the dark side of Shen Huocang's heart.
Later, they even led the person to this table.
He hooked his arm around Mu Zhou's waist, turned her over, and stole her breath.
Mu Zhou could no longer discern the signs of danger; she only felt a slight discomfort in the muscles beneath her palms.
So she gently rubbed against his chest, gradually moving up to his sharply defined collarbone.
My fingertips continued to wander, finally touching the prominent Adam's apple.
Shen Yucang let out a muffled groan, his whole body tensing up.
His reaction successfully pleased Mu Zhou.
Mu Zhou took the initiative to climb onto his shoulder and get even closer.
Shen Yuncang closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with crimson.
“Zhouzhou, this was your initiative.”
Mu Zhou was a little slow to react and hadn't even understood what he was saying before he was pushed down onto the table.
Both hands were restrained above the head.
She tilted her head back and slowly responded to his kiss.
Until he was kissed until he couldn't breathe.
Shen Yucang was like a hunting beast, refusing to let go once he had caught his prey.
Until Mu Zhou was completely dismantled and swallowed whole.
…………
The couple returned to Anping soon after their marriage.
At first, everyone thought that Shen Congjun was having an affair with his new girlfriend and didn't want to come back.
But later, the Shen family discovered that he had disappeared.
So he asked around for help to find it.
It wasn't until the Wen family's collusion with other regional armies was exposed and the entire family was subjected to military law that everyone learned that Shen Congjun had also been imprisoned long ago.
The people of Ruancheng then realized that Shen Congjun had climbed the social ladder, which was why he had abandoned his marriage to the Mu family.
Everyone was joking that there was no such thing as free love or that true love is invincible; it was just that there were better options available.
Fortunately, the Mu family's daughter was lucky and found a better marriage, so her life wasn't completely ruined.
Now that the Wen family is in trouble, Shen Congjun has no choice but to accept his fate and be implicated as well.
It was his own choice, after all.
As a result, even the Shen family was too ashamed to ask the Mu family for help in making peace.
And so, the topic of Mu Zhou's past engagement gradually faded away and was no longer mentioned.
Seven years later.
At night, only a desk lamp is lit in the bedroom.
Mu Zhou lay face down on the bed, her face buried in the pillow, her cheeks flushed.
Her chest heaved, her red lips parted slightly, her eyes were half-closed, and she exuded a disheveled charm.
Soon, Shen Yucang covered him from behind.
He gripped Mu Zhou's waist with his large hand, his husky, magnetic voice slowly emanating from him:
"Madam, I..."
"No, I'm so sleepy."
Mu Zhou immediately cut him off.
His weak and feeble voice betrayed his impatience.
"Good Zhouzhou..."
Shen Yuncang kissed the back of her neck, patiently murmuring her name as he kissed her.
He was trying to seduce her into falling into depravity with him.
But when he turned her over to face him and went to kiss her lips again, he found that she was breathing steadily and had actually fallen asleep.
Shen Yuncang's taut muscles instantly froze.
As if doused with a bucket of cold water, he came to his senses.
He gazed silently at Mu Zhou, his eyes filled with a dark and complex expression.
