The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 505 - 502: Long Hair Tied to His Heart: Yu Wei Side Story (28)

Chapter 505: Chapter 502: Long Hair Tied to His Heart: Yu Wei Side Story (28)

Jun Yu raised an eyebrow, looking at Song Wei’s red lips, and said, "Thank you should be shown through actions; I won’t accept just words."

Song Wei bit her lip, "...Then what do you want?"

Jun Yu asked back, "What do you think?"

... 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

When Song Wei was sleeping at night, she kept saying her mouth hurt, Hua Hua asked what was wrong; she said she accidentally bit herself, and there was a cut...

Swollen and red.

Hua Hua applied some medicine, but Song Wei still felt uncomfortable.

Hua Hua couldn’t understand, "Miss, how did you manage to bite your mouth like that? And so severely, seeing this, it makes me heartache."

Song Wei smiled and comforted Hua Hua, "Alright, once the medicine’s applied, it’ll be fine. Let’s go to sleep!"

The two of them slept, and early the next morning, the news of Madam Song being demoted to a concubine spread throughout the Song Family inner courtyard.

It was the first time something like demoting the Madam to a concubine had happened, leaving many shocked and sighing; human hearts can’t withstand tests, and what is schemed can never last long.

Upon hearing this, Song Wei went to the front courtyard to hear Mr. Song officially announce the matter.

As she passed by Song Wanwan and Song Manman’s place, she heard Song Wanwan’s heart-wrenching cries from afar.

Song Wanwan’s affair was basically settled.

Given that she had already had relations with the steward and was seen by many, she had no choice but to marry the steward, otherwise, she would have no way but death.

Song Wanwan didn’t want to marry the steward, nor did she want to die, so she was pleading with Mr. Song pitifully not to force her anymore.

Song Manman tried to persuade, but it was of no use.

Song Wanwan wouldn’t listen at all, feeling annoyed, she started unjustly insulting Song Manman, accusing her of knowing the outcome all along and watching idly from the sidelines.

Now that things have turned out this way, is she happy? Satisfied?

Song Manman felt wronged and speechless.

Song Wei sighed and walked towards the front hall.

Jun Yu was already waiting there; seeing her come, he greeted her with a smile, looking especially at the small cut on her lip, "Did you rest well last night?"

Song Wei pressed her lips together, "...Oh, it was alright!"

Jun Yu reached out his large hand in front of Song Wei, "Shall we go in together?"

Song Wei did not hand over her hand immediately; she frowned, seemingly weighing whether or not to give her hand to Jun Yu, after all, they were in public and many were watching.

The maidservants nearby stretched their necks, eyes wide open.

Song Wei felt a bit shy.

Jun Yu did not rush her, waiting gracefully.

After quite a while, Song Wei finally made up her mind and placed her hand in Jun Yu’s palm.

"Hahaha..." Jun Yu laughed even more boldly, his voice full of joy.

After laughing, Jun Yu held Song Wei and entered the flower hall.

Song Wei looked as delicate as a peach blossom, bashful and shy, a beautiful scene of spring stirring in a young woman’s heart, making Hua Hua grin from ear to ear as she followed behind.

Today, the Song Mansion gathered everyone to discuss two matters.

The first was that Madam Song was demoted due to lacking virtue, becoming a concubine. Although Song Wei’s biological mother, Ms. Li was deceased, she raised Song Wei, enabling her to become the future seventeenth imperial consort, so Ms. Li was elevated to the official wife posthumously, her tablet placed in the family shrine for ancestral worship.

The second was that Jun Yu and Song Wei would hold a simple engagement ceremony witnessed by the main relatives of the Song family. Afterward, Jun Yu would return to Eastern Chu to request a formal marriage for Song Wei.

Once everyone arrived for the first matter, Mr. Song quickly announced its conclusion with just a few words.

Mr. Song didn’t say much; whether he was avoiding something or eager to discuss the next matter only he knew.

The second matter was a bit more troublesome.

But, the trouble didn’t lie in the engagement ceremony itself but in discussing the dowry and marriage arrangements.

After all, Eastern Chu and Bei Xia have different cultural backgrounds and customs, making discussions about marriage a bit tricky, especially since Jun Yu is no ordinary person; he is from the Imperial Family.

These matters needed careful negotiation.

After seven to eight days of talks, they finally reached an agreement.

Ultimately, what Mr. Song cared about was the dowry Jun Yu would give Song Wei and how much benefit he could gain from it.

Jun Yu was generous enough, giving Mr. Song a beautiful estate in Bei Xia as a dowry, and this estate was world-renowned, roughly worth several Song Families.

Accompanying the estate were nearby shops, farmland, and deeds, which Jun Yu also gave without keeping a thing for himself.

It seemed like he was offering too much, but only Jun Yu knew it wasn’t like that.

His reputation was ruined in Bei Xia, so he had no fondness for anything there. Of course, excluding Song Wei.

He wouldn’t be returning to Bei Xia after marrying Song Wei, intending to live a peaceful life in Eastern Chu.

For him, those possessions in Bei Xia were rather inauspicious and worth less than a tenth of his wealth, so he didn’t mind giving them away.

Mr. Song was very pleased with Jun Yu’s generosity, not even blinking at the list of gifts presented, repeatedly expressing satisfaction, thinking this daughter was indeed marrying well!

Subsequently, without realizing it, Mr. Song became more attentive to preparing for the engagement ceremony, overseeing all details to ensure the best outcome.

...

After the engagement ceremony, on the night before Jun Yu’s departure, the summer breeze was pleasant, and many stars filled the sky.

Jun Yu held Song Wei and flew up to the roof of her room, sitting shoulder to shoulder, watching the stars.

"That one’s very bright; should be the North Star, right?" Song Wei pointed to the brightest star in the sky and said.

Jun Yu nodded, "Yes, by following the North Star, I can return to Eastern Chu."

Hearing this, Song Wei felt a bit saddened; she leaned on Jun Yu’s shoulder, asking, "...Ah Yu, how long will you be gone?"

"As little as three months, at most half a year." Jun Yu looked at Song Wei and joked: "It won’t be over half a year; I’ll hurry back to marry you. You must embroider your wedding dress well; don’t let me come to fetch you and find it unready."

Song Wei said, "I will, but..."

Jun Yu was puzzled, "But what?"

Song Wei said, "But what if you go and never come back?"

The closer Jun Yu’s departure, the more concern Song Wei had.

She feared Jun Yu’s appearance was like a glorious firework, dazzling but fleeting in the sky, briefly stunning in beauty, yet ungraspable.

Its brilliance etched into memory for a lifetime.

"Why such thoughts? Xiao Wei, do you not trust me?"
