Chapter 4: Entering the Bridal Chamber by Imperial Decree
hat there was going to be some drama."I know your family really needs this money, and I know you wouldn't do something like split it with him if you took it.""You don't need to worry about our grievan...To prevent the two of them from pulling any tricks, I'll just make up a fake marriage certificate to fool myself.
Master Mu instructed his two sons to tidy up the house, then had the driver take him, along with Mu Wancheng, who had changed into a new dress and looked even more beautiful, and Chen Pingan, to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their marriage.
The grandfather's action directly caused Mu Wancheng's fake marriage plan to come to naught. With a bitter face, she reluctantly went to the Civil Affairs Bureau for registration.
However, even if a pretty person frowns, they don't look unattractive; instead, it makes them seem adorable.
Chen Pingan couldn't understand, a beautiful girl like Mu Wanting wouldn't have any trouble finding a husband, so why did Old Master Mu insist on forcing him to marry her
A group of people quickly arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
When they took their wedding photos, both of them had cold faces and stood very far apart, looking very unwilling.
"No, no, this isn't a wedding at all! You two look like enemies who have just met, with murderous looks on your faces!"
"Start over, start over, you guys are supposed to smile, knowing that you are filled with happy smiles, okay"
"Marriage is a very happy and joyous occasion, you two should practice smiling at each other first!"
Mr. Mu didn't look like someone who had just died and come back to life at all. He was full of energy, commanding the two people taking wedding photos with discontent on the sidelines.
Mu Wancheng and Chen Ping could only follow the old man's wishes and awkwardly smiled at each other.
Just then, the old man standing on the side suddenly stumbled and bumped into his granddaughter, Mu Wancheng. With no time to react, Mu Wancheng fell straight into Chen Ping'an's arms.
...and very ingeniously, he ended up kissing Chen Ping'an face-to-face.
When their lips touched, it was like an electric shock. They stared at each other with wide eyes, forgetting to pull away.
"My dear granddaughter, would you believe me if I said this was an accident"
Elder Mu's words brought the two of them back to their senses, as if a powerful spring had been installed between them, quickly pushing them apart.
"Grandpa, do you think I would believe you"
Mu Wancheng was so angry that she stomped her feet and turned around to glare at her grandfather. Her expression almost made her cry.
After waking up, grandpa hasn't been himself. He's forcing me to marry this stranger and even deliberately creating chances for us to kiss, my first kiss!
Oh no!
Faced with the childish grandfather, Mu Wanting felt like she was going to go crazy.
"Hahaha!"
"You two are going to be husband and wife soon, so what's wrong with a kiss It's not embarrassing!"
Master Mu burst into laughter seeing his granddaughter stamping her feet.
"Master Mu, this is too much! We haven't even gotten our marriage certificate yet. If you keep acting like this, we won't get married!"
Seeing Mu Wancheng's puffed-up appearance, Chen Pingan solemnly said to Old Master Mu.
This old man is a good person, his heart is young despite his age!
It's obvious he also misunderstood Old Master Mu.
If Mu Wanting in front of me were a normal person, she's so pretty, she would actually make a good daughter-in-law.
He could see how anxious Old Master Mu was to marry his granddaughter off to him, even resorting to such measures to get him close to Mu Wanting. He firmly believed that there must be something wrong with Mu Wanting, a big problem that made her unmarriageable.
"Yes, Grandpa! If you cause any more trouble, we won't get married!"
This time, Mu Wancheng and Chen Pingan stood on the same side, puffing out their cheeks and threatening her grandfather.
"Alright, alright, Grandpa won't cause any trouble anymore. You guys should hurry up and take pictures and get your marriage license!"
Master Mu, seeing the explanation was unclear, simply stopped explaining. He said with some displeasure.
Fearing that Grandpa would continue to create more mischief, both of them cooperated very hard afterwards. When taking pictures, they tried their best to smile happily.
Soon the two got their marriage certificate and walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Mu Wanteng looked at the marriage certificate in her hand, a little lost. She never expected to get married like this, so casually and without much thought.
"Master Mu, now that the marriage certificate is in hand, could you please give me what's owed"
As soon as Chen Pingan stepped out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, he eagerly asked Old Master Mu for gold needles.
"Still called Master Mu"
"If you call me grandpa, I'll give you the things!"
Old Master Mu said with a hint of displeasure.
"Grandpa... Grandpa!"
Chen Ping'an could only grit his teeth and shout.
"Well now, that's more like it!" Old Master Mu beamed with delight and then turned his gaze to Mu Wanting.
"Granddaughter, go home first. I have something to talk to your husband about!"
"Bah, I don't care about your business! Acting all mysterious like that!"
Mu Wanting glared at the two of them with displeasure before walking away.
"Did you see the pair of gold earrings on your wife's ears"
“That’s what you’re looking for. It was made into earrings by her grandmother before she passed away and given to her. This girl considers these earrings to be a relic left by her grandmother and won't give them to anyone. On the wedding night, just try your best and when she's exhausted and falls asleep, sneakily take the earrings off!”
Master Mu pointed at Mu Wanting's back with a wicked smile.
Chen Ping'an only then noticed that the pair of round earrings on Mu Wancheng's ears were very similar in color to the gold needle in his hand.
Chen Ping'an instantly felt that he had been tricked by Mu Xinbo.
"If I had known the golden needle was right on your granddaughter's ear, I wouldn't have saved you!"
Chen Ping gritted his teeth and said.
"Haha!"
"A thousand gold coins couldn't buy foreknowledge, this just proves you two are destined to meet!"
Master Mu was delighted to playfully tease Chen Ping'an.
When they returned to Mu's Estate, the entire Mu's Estate had undergone a dramatic transformation.
Originally, the white streamers hanging all around created a mournful scene. Now, it has transformed into a festive atmosphere with lanterns and decorations everywhere.
I'll have this arranged right away. I'll have someone find a good date and book a hotel to have your wedding!
Seeing the festive scene, Old Master Mu waved his hand with excitement and said.
"Let's not rush into planning the wedding. We can always do it three months from now if we haven't divorced by then!"
Chen Pingan quickly stopped the other party.
"Okay, then let's hold the wedding in three months!"
But that doesn't prevent you from having your wedding night, you can consummate the marriage tonight. If you are afraid of having a child and it affecting your divorce in three months, you can take some safety precautions!
Master Mu was very generous and said to Chen Pingan.
Chen Ping'an blushed with shame.
However, since it's a wedding night, I won't be polite tonight. Anyway, we both already got our marriage license, so at most, we can just do what her grandpa said and take precautions.
"I'm going out to buy some things!"
Chen Pingan finished speaking and turned to leave the Mu family's residence, afraid that if he stayed any longer, the old man would say something even more outrageous.
It's time to get ready for dinner, remember to come back early for a meal.
Master Mu instructed from behind.
Chen Ping'an didn't even turn his head, he just raised his hand and made an OK gesture.of mine: Zhao Shikai and Zhao Min!""In the future, please look after these two junior disciples!"The old warrior immediately brought his grandchildren to Chen Ping's presence, introducing them to him....
