Chapter 197 Marrying Liuli
Chapter 197 Marrying Liuli
Li Xuemei's eyes flashed with deep hatred: "Princess, please rest assured! We sisters have long seen through the ugly faces of men in the world. Our mother lost her precious life because she trusted the so-called sincerity of those men who pursued power! We sisters will never make the same mistake again!"
Luo Lingyue responded softly: "Not all men in this world are heartless and ungrateful. There are also people with deep affection and friendship. You can't generalize! If there were other feasible methods, I would never let you serve Chu Chengli. This man is really not a good person! If... you can have a better destination in the future, you should live for yourself, find a place away from the hustle and bustle, and spend the rest of your life in peace!"
Li Xuemei's eyes were as firm as a rock: "Princess! The only wish of us sisters in this life is to avenge our mother. We must personally eliminate the culprit who murdered our mother. At the same time, we must also find a bright future for our two brothers. Only by joining the service of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can we achieve this wish!"
Luo Lingyue slowly lowered her head, her eyes dimmed, but her tone was very firm: "Li Mingfu wants Chen Manping to be the prince's concubine, but Jing'an Marquis's Mansion will never compromise easily. Therefore, they will definitely resort to insidious means. Perhaps, my upcoming coming-of-age ceremony is the perfect opportunity they have been waiting for! By then, you must let the Eighth Princess lead you to the General's Mansion to attend my coming-of-age ceremony!"
Li Xuemei and her sister bowed respectfully to Luo Lingyue and thanked her in unison: "Thank you so much, Princess! From now on, our lives will be in your hands!"
Luo Lingyue smiled slightly, and that smile was as warm as the spring sun, but it also revealed a hint of helplessness and determination. She said softly: "You don't have to dedicate your life to anyone! The road you choose is full of thorns, so you must always be vigilant and protect yourself!"
The next morning, the sun shone on the earth, bringing a touch of warmth and vitality to the whole city. Du Heng, wearing a gorgeous robe and smiling, set out on the road to the general's mansion with an experienced matchmaker. The purpose of their trip was very clear - Du Heng wanted to go to the general's mansion in person to give the betrothal gift and express his sincere love to the woman he liked.
When they arrived at the general's mansion, the guards at the door immediately came up to them and led them into the mansion. Along the way, Du Heng was excited, his heart full of anticipation and joy.
When they walked into the hall, they saw more than a dozen boxes of exquisite betrothal gifts neatly placed there, each box exuding a precious and unique atmosphere. These betrothal gifts not only represent Du Heng's sincerity, but also his beautiful expectations for future married life.
Linglong, who was standing by, had a twinkle of envy in her eyes. She couldn't help but sigh, "Liuli! Du Heng is so good to you! Such a large amount of precious betrothal gifts is enough to prove his deep affection for you. I really hope you can live a happy life!"
Liuli's face flushed with happiness after hearing Linglong's words. She said softly, "Thank you, Linglong. In fact, I am also very lucky to have met someone like Du Heng. His sincerity makes me feel extremely warm and at ease."
At this time, Du Heng came forward, his eyes fell on Liuli firmly and tenderly. He whispered: "Liuli, these betrothal gifts are just part of my love for you. I hope we can go through every stage of life hand in hand and create our own happiness together."
Liuli nodded with emotion, tears in her eyes. She knew that the man in front of her would be her life partner, and they would face future challenges and difficulties together and share the joy and happiness in life together.
Du Heng walked quickly to Luo Lingyue and said, "Princess! Some time ago, I was busy buying a new house and some maids and servants. Here are all my properties, including the land deeds, house deeds, and the servants' indentures. I will hand them all over to Liuli. From now on, she will be the mistress of the Du family!"
Luo Lingyue smiled slightly and said softly: "It is better to do it today than to wait for a day! You can return to the mansion today to prepare for the wedding, and come to pick up the bride in the evening! I have prepared the dowry for Liuli, and I will take it back to the mansion together with the betrothal gifts you sent, and they will all belong to Liuli!"
Du Heng was shocked and asked in surprise, "This... don't we need to choose an auspicious day? Is it too hasty to do it..."
Luo Lingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at him with a sharp gaze, and slowly said: "This princess can borrow your Zuiyuelou's cook! Or, you...are you trying to delay the wedding date?"
Du Heng hurriedly waved his hands and explained, "No! Du Heng has absolutely no such intention! I just feel that if I act in such a hurry, I am afraid that I will treat Miss Liuli unfairly!"
Luo Lingyue smiled slightly and said softly: "It's not unfair to be the mistress of the house! Go now!"
As night fell, the entire Soul-Destroying Gate was brightly lit and filled with people. Everyone gathered together to celebrate this grand event. At the banquet, there was a wide variety of fine wines and delicacies, people were laughing and talking, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
Du Zhong was drunk, his face flushed, and he muttered to himself: "I never thought that my brother would get married one day! Woohoo... We are all bachelors! Du Heng actually got a wife so soon..."
There was a hint of envy and emotion in his words, as if he saw what his future would look like. Others present also echoed Du Zhong's words, and laughter and blessings intertwined, making this night full of warmth and happiness.
Luo Lingyue quietly leaned against the window of her boudoir, staring at the bright moon in the sky with a dazed look. The moonlight sprinkled on her like water, as if she was covered with a layer of silver gauze. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
Liuli, the woman who was like a sister to her, has finally found her own happy home. Luo Lingyue was filled with relief and joy, and she was sincerely happy for Liuli. They had spent countless happy times together, sharing each other's joys and sorrows. Now, seeing that Liuli could get true love and happiness, Luo Lingyue felt that she also felt the warmth and sweetness.
She gently closed her eyes and recalled every moment she had spent with Liuli. Those beautiful memories were like colorful paintings, slowly unfolding in her mind. They strolled in the garden together, admiring the flowers and grass; they sat in front of the window together embroidering and talking about their dreams; they tasted delicious food together and enjoyed the fun of life... Every moment was filled with warmth and happiness.
Luo Lingyue knows that true friendship is not only about companionship in good times, but also about support and encouragement in bad times. She and Liuli are like this. No matter what difficulties and challenges they face, they always support each other and move forward together. This sincere friendship makes their hearts closely connected.
At this moment, Luo Lingyue silently blessed Liuli, hoping that her future would be full of sunshine and laughter. At the same time, she also looked forward to finding her own happiness as soon as possible. Although she didn't know what the future would be like, she believed that as long as she kept a kind and firm heart, happiness would surely come to her.
