Chapter 215 -216 Not a Couple_1
At first, they announced to the world that they were husband and wife without even having revered the heavens and earth in ceremony. To say Muniang had no regrets in her heart would be a lie. Now that Yu Ze brought it up, she still paused in surprise.
“We’ve told everyone we’re married, and now to have another wedding ceremony, what is this all about?”
Yu Ze said with a smile, “My parents would surely wish to have another one as well, after all, our current status isn’t proper, and you still haven’t been included in our family’s genealogy. I want to give you a complete wedding.”
Muniang was overjoyed, “Really? That’s wonderful!”
But then she became serious with a touch of worry, “Jin Feng mentioned you are the heir of the Marquis Mansion, and your family is prominent. Your parents not minding my background must have been a big concession, but I can’t just live quietly in a big estate and be a docile Princess.”
Muniang had her own grand ambitions, and everything was just starting for her. How could she let go so easily?
Yu Ze said, “Don’t worry, the affairs of the court have stabilized now, and there are no major incidents at the borders. I won’t linger in the Capital City. If this is the life you enjoy, then I will accompany you.”
He himself had no desires or demands, the so-called home in the city was nothing but a place that chilled his heart. If it weren’t for meeting Muniang, he would have preferred to guard the border for a lifetime. How could he, for the sake of some false pride, constrain her and clip her wings?
“Really?” Muniang had always been worried about this very issue, and to hear him say this so casually brightened her eyes.
“Really.”
Muniang hooked her arms around Yu Ze’s neck, “My dear husband, you are so good to me!”
Yu Ze smiled contentedly. With a wife like this, what more could he ask for? With a long reach, he pulled Muniang into his embrace, “My lady, I missed you.”
The embrace was familiar, yet it seemed to have taken on a different flavor, and now Muniang found herself blushing a bit, “Hmm.”
Yu Ze rarely saw Muniang in such a dependant posture; his heart nearly melted with warmth.
But after Yu Ze came out from bathing, he found Muniang bustling about and was momentarily taken aback, “My lady, what are you doing? Are we not staying in this room anymore?”
Muniang blinked, “No, it’s you who won’t be staying in this room.”
Yu Ze’s face darkened instantly, “Why?!”

Muniang spoke earnestly, “Since we are not officially husband and wife yet, we haven’t gone through the wedding rites or been added to the family registry, so how can we share a room? You haven’t formally carried me over the threshold in a bridal sedan, do you intend to have an illegitimate child before marriage?!”
Yu Ze’s mouth twitched, “But before, we were always—”
“Before you had the mind of a seven-year-old, can you compare that to now?” Muniang explained diligently. With his reactions at seven years of age, it would be strange not to expect something to happen now when he was a healthy young man at the peak of his blood and vigor, sharing the same room!
Yu Ze immediately put on a wronged expression, “My lady—”
Muniang glared at him, “Don’t address me so affectionately, we’re not married yet! Out you go!”
Yu Ze’s face was streaked with melancholy lines. That small bird-like dependence had all been an illusion, hadn’t it?
In the end, Yu Ze walked out holding his clothes and with a dark expression on his face. If he had known, he wouldn’t have brought up the matter of getting married. They were perfectly good as husband and wife, so which nerve had misfired when he mentioned this?
After shutting the door, Muniang finally let out a sigh of relief, her hand on her rapidly beating heart. She hadn’t thought it through yet. This man, both strange and familiar, made her feel both intimate and distant. To become his true wife so suddenly, she felt somewhat unprepared. She hadn’t fully understood or accepted who he was now. She needed a little more time.
And more importantly, since they had decided to have a wedding ceremony again, how could she end up pregnant before marriage and wed with a conspicuous belly?
Muniang firmly shook her head, “A wedding only happens once, you have to be the most beautiful bride. What’s the spectacle in a pregnant woman wearing a bridal gown?!”
Early the next morning, Jin Feng immediately sidled up to Yu Ze, with a sly look in his eye, “General, last night you went into the room with Lady so early? It seems ‘a short parting is sweeter than a new marriage’ really is true.”
However, Yu Ze’s face instantly darkened, “Is the firewood in the yard all chopped?”
Jin Feng didn’t understand, “What? I… I’ve chopped it all.”
“After you’re done chopping, go cut some more, and after cutting, keep on chopping!” Yu Ze left these words behind and walked away coldly.
Jin Feng was on the verge of tears. He had finally thought to build camaraderie with the General as men, following Lady’s lead. What was this all about suddenly? Could it be Lady left the General unfulfilled last night?
“Time for breakfast, Erliang!”
Yu Ze walked in, still with a dark expression. Muniang was speechless. This man, why was he still as petty as ever upon waking? He was still angry at this hour.
Just then, Madam Liu came in, all smiles, “Oh, Erliang is back! I didn’t hear about this until last night myself, but it was too late to come over. You two really should have told us about such big news.”
Muniang laughed, “We were too busy yesterday, it just slipped our mind. Auntie, please come in and sit.”
Yu Ze stood up and greeted her, “Auntie.” He was always a man of few words and couldn’t say much. His tone might not be very enthusiastic, but it wasn’t cold either, which was very satisfying to Madam Liu.
Madam Liu winked at Muniang and whispered, “Don’t mention it, but Erliang seems so much more steadfast now.”
Yu Ze, as a martial artist, couldn’t possibly miss their whispers. He felt helpless in his heart. What kind of impression had he left on people after a year of foolishness?
“Have you eaten, Auntie? Let’s eat together.”
“I have, had it very early today because I was sending the two kids to school. The other two wanted to join the fun too. I wanted to ask you, are you going today?” Madam Liu said with a smile.
Muniang replied, “Of course I’m going. I already said I would yesterday; how could I go back on my word? I’ll go over after I finish breakfast, just taking our family’s carriage.”
“I was just worried that you newlyweds might want some time to be sweet to each other. Well, since you’re going, that’s even better.”
Yu Ze, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, “Hmm, I’ll go with you.”
Madam Liu was stunned, clearly not expecting this. Erliang used to tag along with Muniang even when he was foolish, but now he’s recovered and still wants to follow…
Yu Ze laughed, “A short parting is sweeter than a new marriage.”
Muniang was speechless, this man was really—
Madam Liu’s children hadn’t seen Erliang for a long time and had missed him too. The moment they saw him, they yelled with joy and flew into his arms.
“Brother Mu, I missed you so much! You’re finally back. I knew you would never leave Sister Mu. If you ever left Sister Mu, I’d grow up and marry her!” Hongsheng said earnestly.
That was something Erliang, when he had been foolish, used to argue about with the kids. Muniang, holding back laughter, listened as if it was all a joke, thinking that Yu Ze’s temperament wouldn’t let him quarrel with the kids anymore. But then Yu Ze crouched down and said seriously, “My wife’s already booked for the next life too, none of your business!”
With exasperation, Muniang rolled her eyes at her husband. Could this man get any more childish?
