Chapter 510: Searching for Him in the Crowd 3
Since they have found someone who can break the bad luck of the Fifth Miss, the Mansion will naturally not miss the opportunity. The Lady Dowager took the lead and ordered the official matchmaker to go to the Mansion of the Marquis of Yongyi to propose marriage. The Mansion is now the royal family, and the Fifth Miss is dignified and capable, so the old lady of the Mansion of the Marquis of Yongyi agreed immediately.

The marriage went smoothly.

Even after the two families had begun the six rituals, the Second Lady was still a little confused.

“I always feel that there is something strange about Fifth Girl’s marriage.”

Xia Yun asked, “Since the engagement with the Yongyi Marquis’s Mansion, Fifth Sister’s illness has gradually recovered. When I saw her today, she was completely fine. This shows that the witch doctor’s magic is very skilled. How could this be so strange?”

The Second Madam clutched the golden handkerchief, recalling the whole story, her mind was filled with anxiety: “The Fifth Girl once told me that she liked the young Marquis Du, but I rejected her outright. I introduced her to so many powerful and wealthy men, but she didn’t like any of them. But she got sick, and it was a vicious disease, and Du Jingxuan happened to be able to cure it. Don’t you think this is strange?”

The Second Lady has always been shrewd and not so easily deceived.

As she spoke, she said with certainty: “From what I’ve seen, it’s possible that the fifth girl wrote and performed this in order to marry Young Marquis Du.”

After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Xia Yun also became suspicious: “It’s a bit strange.”

After thinking for a while, he wondered again: “That witch doctor was recommended by my second sister-in-law, and the imperial doctors are all from the palace. If this story was made up by my fifth sister, then my second sister-in-law must have been involved.”

After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, the second wife thought about it from the beginning and found that Qin Xiaoning was indeed involved in many key points.

So she put her doubts aside and said to her daughter-in-law, “A Ning is a kind and gentle person. She will not lie to you.”

Xia Yun said: “If the second sister-in-law hadn’t participated, the fifth sister wouldn’t have been able to handle such a big game by herself. It can be seen that she was indeed involved in an evil spirit. This also shows that she and Du Jingxuan are destined to be together.”

The facts were before her, and the Second Madam had to admit it: “That’s it, as long as Shu’er is fine, I’ll be satisfied.”

Mid-Autumn Festival came in a blink of an eye. This year, the weather was good and the harvests were good. The emperor and empress held a Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet in the imperial city.

Naturally, everyone in the mansion will come.

This also includes the fifth girl, Lu Wanshu, who is about to get married.

Halfway through the palace banquet, the fifth girl came out to get some fresh air. She was sitting in the pavilion admiring the night view of the palace when a clear voice suddenly entered her ears: “It’s been a while since I last saw you.”

Upon hearing the voice, the fifth girl turned around quickly.

What comes into view is a handsome face.

It was Du Jingxuan.

“It’s you.” The fifth girl didn’t act coy, and greeted her fiancé openly, “Why are you out too?”

Du Jingxuan did not answer, but walked to the pavilion, leaned on the railing and looked into the distance. After a long while, he said, “Why haven’t I seen you go out to play recently?”

Glancing at his indifferent expression, the Fifth Girl replied calmly, “An engaged woman can no longer go out casually.”

Yes, they are already engaged, and in half a year, they will become husband and wife.

Du Jingxuan felt as if he was in a dream.

He turned around and looked at the Fifth Lady, who met his gaze. He asked, “Do you feel that there is something fishy about our marriage?”

The fifth girl felt guilty when she heard this, but she quickly calmed down.

The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. Even if she had plotted against him, in the end it was all arranged by their parents and the matchmaker. She had not done anything wrong to him.

She asked directly: “Why? Are you not satisfied with this marriage?”

Not satisfied?

Not really. It’s just that he doesn’t like being controlled by others.

This made him feel very awkward.

Any capable man may have this characteristic. They only like to control others, but will not tolerate others plotting against them.

Although Du Jingxuan is just over twenty years old, he is now the commander of the Left Commander of the Inner Court, a second-rank official, and has the title of Marquis. Such a man is naturally proud.

He was somewhat surprised by the Fifth Lady’s outspokenness: “It’s not that I’m dissatisfied, I just think that this marriage is a little strange.”

He looked at the familiar little girl in front of him and said in a light voice: “I heard that you were ill a while ago and you even invited a witch doctor, is that right?”

The two houses were separated by only a wall, and this man was the commander of the Imperial Guards. How could such a thing be hidden from him?

Seeing him questioning her like this, the fifth girl was indeed a little flustered, but she quickly calmed herself down and said frankly: “Yes, the witch doctor said that I had offended someone and that I could not get married.”

She was halfway through her words, paying close attention to Du Jingxuan’s expression.

Although Du Jingxuan knew some rumors, it was impossible for him to know everything about what was happening in the mansion’s backyard.

Hearing the fifth girl say “the marriage cannot take place,” Du Jingxuan couldn’t help but look surprised.

The fifth girl glanced at him and continued, “Then the witch doctor gave me a prescription, saying that I can only marry someone who matches my horoscope.”

She looked at Du Jingxuan and said in a neutral tone, “Look, in the whole capital, only you are suitable for me.”

“So, I have to thank you.”

“Thank me?” Du Jingxuan really had no idea about the details here.

He forced an awkward smile.

The fifth girl had a wooden face and said with a hint of sarcasm: “Really? I have to thank you. If you were not born to match me, I would probably not be able to get married.”

Hearing the sarcasm in her words, Du Jingxuan didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

The tall and strong man just stood there, looking at the young woman in front of him foolishly.

Seeing that he didn’t say anything, the fifth girl rolled her eyes at him and continued, “Of course, if you don’t want to, I will go back home and refuse this marriage. At worst, I will just stay single for the rest of my life, which is not a big deal.”

“I didn’t say I didn’t want to.” Du Jingxuan said anxiously, “The marriage has been decided, how can you regret it just like that?”

He didn’t object to the marriage, but he was against being plotted against.

The Fifth Lady was secretly delighted when she heard this, but she remained calm and said indifferently, “Marriage is a big deal. Although it is decided by parents and matchmakers, it still depends on your mutual consent. If you have no objection, that would be great.”

Young Marquis Du glanced at the young woman in front of him, smiled slightly, and raised his eyebrows slightly: “So, you are very willing to this marriage?”

When the Fifth Girl heard this, her heart began to beat wildly, but her face remained calm.

She raised her eyes to glance at Du Jingxuan and replied, “Didn’t I tell you that my marriage is limited by my fate and I can’t be picky.”

He looked a little reluctant.

Young Marquis Du glanced at her, cleared his throat, and smiled: “If that’s the case, let’s do it this way. Anyway, I hope you don’t feel wronged to follow a warrior like me.”

No, no, I’ve been secretly in love with you for so many years. Now that my wish comes true, I’m no longer wronged.

The Fifth Lady thought so in her heart, but she didn’t show it on her face. She said calmly, “I also follow my husband wherever he goes. It’s not like I feel wronged or not.”
