Upon hearing this, Duan Yang put down his teacup and asked, "Where are we going?"

Seeing that the two of them were looking at him, Huangfu Hua said helplessly, "There's been a problem with the business in Jiangnan."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "The old man said that I've grown up and it's time for me to settle down and start a family. Since I don't want to settle down, I should go out and start a family. But then my business in Jiangnan ran into some trouble, so he threw me out there."

"Brother Duanyang, Brother Mu, tell me, why is my life so miserable?"

Muqi accepted his gift and comforted him, saying, "Do a good job."

Huangfu Hua: "..."

That's not what he wanted to hear.

Huangfu Hua turned to look at Duan Yang with a look of utter despair, like a dog abandoned by its owner.

Duan Yang looked deep in thought, his expression unreadable. When he saw Duan Yang looking over, Duan Yang reached out and patted Duan Yang's head.

Huangfu Hua: "..."

The next day, Huangfu Hua's carriage was stopped at the city gate by Duan Yang.

Huangfu Hua: "What's wrong? Why did you stop?" He said, lifting the curtain of the carriage.

Looking up, I saw it was the Dragon Boat Festival. He was dressed in a black, close-fitting outfit that accentuated his tall figure. His dark hair was tied up high, giving him a very imposing presence. It was raining, and I wondered how long he had been waiting.

Huangfu Hua's eyes sparkled as he said, "Duan Yang, Duan Yang, did you come here especially to see me off?"

Duan Yang: "No."

As soon as he spoke, the person opposite him who had been laughing happily instantly stopped smiling and said with a wronged expression, "Oh."

Duan Yang curled the corners of her lips and said, "I came to go to Jiangnan with you."

Sure enough, the person on the other side got excited again upon hearing this.

Huangfu Hua, as if afraid he would change his mind, waved to him and shouted, "Quickly, get in the carriage! My carriage is huge, let's go together."

Duan Yang took the package from the servant behind him and said, "Hmm." Then he nimbly got into the carriage.

Huangfu Hua, who was originally sleepy, was no longer sleepy at this time. He chatted with Duan Yang, and he did most of the talking, with Duan Yang occasionally chiming in.

Li Lu, who was driving the carriage, listened to the laughter and chatter coming from inside and thought to himself, "Young Master is still so energetic, that's wonderful."

Royal Palace

Zhao Cheng looked at Murong Zhi standing at the door and said, "Your Highness, it's cold in the rain, please come inside."

Murong Zhi looked at the gloomy sky with some worry and said, "There's been so much rain this year. If this continues..."

Zhao Cheng: "Your Majesty, please don't worry. Your health is the most important thing."

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was July 4th, the wedding day of Murong Qing and Mu Ya.

Perhaps this was truly a good day; after a month of intermittent rain, the sky finally cleared. The rising sun slowly peeked out from behind the clouds on the horizon, bathing them in a warm yellow light. A seven-colored rainbow hung high in the sky, eliciting gasps of surprise from the children on the street.

Mu Mansion

Red silk ribbons were hung everywhere in the Mu residence, the entire place bustling with activity and joy. Mu Ya had risen early, and a group of maids and servants were busy dressing her up. Mu Ya wore a red wedding dress, her eyes filled with affection, her face showing a mixture of anticipation, nervousness, and reluctance to leave her family. Sima Qingqing looked at Mu Ya in her red wedding dress, the crimson tassels cascading from her brow into her hair, she looked less dashing than usual, and more gentle and tender.

Sima Qingqing reluctantly took her hand and said, "Ya'er has grown up. Mother wishes you and the Fourth Prince a lifetime of happiness and harmony."
