Chapter 406 Goodbye Sister
When she saw clearly who was in the room, Zhen Muring couldn't help but exclaimed. This person was actually her own sister Zhen Muyu who was supposed to be imprisoned in the clan house!
"younger sister!"
Zhen Muyu had obviously dressed up today. Her gorgeous robe gave some of the grace and demeanor of a former princess.
"Sister, why are you here?" Zhen Muring walked forward quickly.
"My sister is so beautiful today!" Zhen Muyu said while holding her sister's hand, "Now that my sister can marry a good man, I am relieved."
"Originally, when I knew you were going to marry into the Jia Mansion as a concubine, I was worried and sad for you, but now it seems that this may not be a bad marriage. Today, I only found out after entering the mansion that it was the Marquis of Guanjun who asked His Majesty for an order to allow me to see my sister on her wedding day."
"Since the master committed a crime, who would want to have anything to do with a criminal like me? And now, the Champion Marquis asked His Majesty for permission to let me come here for the sake of my sister. It's obvious that he cares about my sister."
After hearing Zhen Muyu's words, Zhen Muring suddenly realized. Yes, who else could have been here besides him?
"Sister, you have finally understood. The so-called status and family background are just illusions. Even if you are the legal wife, what can you do? It seems that this Marquis Guanjun is different. Although you are only his concubine, it would be great if he could love you."
Zhen Muring nodded slightly, feeling somewhat grateful towards Jia Cong. He had promised before that he would let her meet her sister, but she didn't expect that it would happen at this moment. This surprise was indeed beyond her expectations.
"Didn't my sister go to see the old lady and mother?"
Zhen Muyu shook her head slightly, "With my current status, it's inappropriate for me to be here. Going to see my ancestors and mother will only cause me sadness. Besides, what will happen even if I meet them?"
After pulling her sister to sit down, Zhen Muyu whispered, "In fact, I used to blame my ancestors and mother. Marrying into the royal palace away from my family was naturally very glorious in the eyes of others, but who asked me if I was willing? However, this is also our fate."
"Sister, you don't have to blame the clan. It's true that our ancestors, mother, and father love us, but some things can't be changed because of this. Fortunately, sister has found a good man now, which saves me from worrying about you."
"You must remember that although you are the daughter of the Zhen family, you are also the wife of the Jia family from now on. Your identity is no longer the same!"
"In the future, perhaps the clan will ask you for help, but you must remember to put the Jia family first."
"Obey your father at home and your husband after marriage! If you can, it is necessary to give the family some help. I think the Marquis of Guanjun will understand. However, since you have the surname Jia and have become the Marquis of Guanjun's woman, your honor and disgrace, and even life and death, are linked to the Marquis of Guanjun."
"This is not selfishness, but a responsibility you should fulfill. Just like when our clan asks us to marry far away, we cannot object."
Zhen Muring nodded as if she understood, she knew that her sister would not harm him.
"Can I eat with my sister?" Zhen Muring turned and asked the maid.
"I will have someone prepare food for Madam. Also, Master has already said that the princess can stay in the mansion until half past midnight, and then she will go back."
Seeing that Zhen Muring looked a little sad, Mu Yu smiled and said, "Sister, why do you have to be like this? I am already satisfied that you can come out to see me. Besides, although I am imprisoned, I am just living in a different place. The clan officials will not treat me too harshly even if they consider my status as their brother-in-law."
"Besides, seeing that the Champion Marquis cares so much about you, if you miss your sister in the future, it won't be difficult for you to come and meet her."
After hearing this, Zhen Muring nodded.
…
The Ningguo Mansion was naturally bustling with joy. The men held a banquet in the front hall. The old lady and the Zhen family also came with a group of imperial edicts and held a banquet directly in the flower hall of Ningzheng Hall.
Youshi from the East Palace took care of them diligently with Yuanyang. As for the other girls, a banquet was held in Keqing's courtyard, and they were taken care of by Keqing, Wang Xifeng, and Li Wan.
Jia Cong went to the front hall first. The group of people who wanted to compete with Jia Cong in drinking started fighting among themselves. Of course, Niu Jizong became the target of everyone. When Jia Cong went over, Niu Jizong had already gone under the table and was snoring...
After drinking a few glasses of wine with everyone, Jia Cong went to the flower hall to toast the old lady and others. It was unknown how much he drank, but with Jia Cong's current physical condition, he was not too drunk.
…
"How much wine did Third Uncle drink? Ruizhu, go get him a bowl of hot soup."
When Jia Cong arrived at Keqing's courtyard, Keqing, who was taking care of the girls' food and clothing, hurried over to greet him. When she smelled the alcohol on Jia Cong's body, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
Jia Cong was helped to sit down by Keqing, and he laughed and said, "Hahaha, you don't know how much I can drink. It's no problem even if I make you all drunk."
"Who wants to compete with Third Brother in drinking?" Daiyu said, "If you get drunk, who will take care of you?"
As he spoke, he took the bowl of soup from Ruizhu and said, "Eat something quickly. You must have drunk a lot before. How can you bear this?"
Seeing Daiyu's insincere expression, Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Second sister-in-law, you can't let Sister Lin run away. I'm dizzy from drinking, how can I be left alone to take care of me? Well... it would be best if Sister Lin could take care of me in Ningzheng Hall for a night."
"What nonsense are you talking about, third brother!" Daiyu might have drunk some wine, her pretty face turned a little pink, coupled with her shyness at the moment, she was truly stunningly beautiful.
"It's not my turn anyway, Third Brother, you should go back and let those two good sisters-in-law take care of you. If that doesn't work, there's another sister-in-law waiting for you."
Xing Xiuyan, who had suffered an unexpected disaster, heard this and quickly covered her face with a handkerchief. This Sister Lin was not a good person either, actually teasing her like this in front of her cousin...
Jia Cong chuckled and held Daiyu and Baochai's hands under the table.
"Uncle Lin and Auntie Lin have just agreed that Sister Bao and Sister Lin will stay at the mansion tonight. This is convenient. Otherwise, if we go back to the mansion, it will be inconvenient to offer tea to Sister Bao and Sister Lin."
Daiyu was almost fainted from embarrassment. What embarrassing words did this third brother say? "Who wants tea? Third brother, drink yours."
After spending quite a while with the crowd, Jia Cong finally left.
"Huh!" Jia Cong let out a long breath, "What time is it!"
"Master, it's almost the end of the midnight hour!"
"Then go back..."
