Chapter 931 Seen but Unable to Eat
Song Ruozhen watched him get up helplessly, and smiled like a cunning cat.
"where are you going?"
"I'm going to take a shower," Chu Junting said.
Watching Chu Junting leave, Song Ruozhen touched her lower abdomen, unable to help but feel regret.
"Babies, I gave up such a great opportunity for you."
It's not just Chu Junting who can't see or eat; she's a vegetarian too!
Not long after, Chu Junting returned.
Not only did they bring her a basin of water to soak her feet, they also prepared a cup of jujube tea for her.
"This should be your favorite flavor, have a taste."
Song Ruozhen took the jujube tea, and just smelling the aroma made her feel very happy. She immediately smiled and nodded.
"This seems a bit different from what I usually drink."
Chu Junting smiled faintly, "I know you like to drink jujube tea, so I specially looked for some well-known brands to see which one you like best. From now on, I will drink your favorite one."
Song Ruozhen felt a warmth in her heart. She realized that Chu Junting truly remembered all her preferences. He remembered everything she had mentioned being interested in.
She suddenly remembered a conversation she had with a friend: such a perfect man only exists in books and doesn't exist in reality.
Now look what's happened, she's actually found a perfect husband like the one in the book!
The next day.
When Song Ruozhen woke up early in the morning, she learned that her fourth brother had arrived.
"Fifth sister, do you know if something has happened to Mu Yao?"
Song Jingshen's brows furrowed with worry. Although no news had come out yet, he clearly sensed that something was wrong.
Previously, Mu Yao would come to the teahouse whenever she had time, and even if she couldn't come, she would tell her immediately. But now, there has been no news at all in the past two days.
Based on his understanding of Mu Yao, there was definitely something wrong, but he specifically asked around and couldn't find out the reason.
Looking at the anxious Song Jingshen in front of her, Song Ruozhen thought of Chu Muyao, who lived in the Prince's Mansion, and wondered if she would be willing to see her fourth brother at this moment.
In her view, there was no point in running away; everyone would find out about this sooner or later.
Instead of running away, it's better to talk things out face-to-face.
Even if there's no chance for things to turn around, both sides should at least say goodbye instead of keeping everything bottled up inside.
Thinking of this, she whispered a few words to Bai Zhi, asking her to ask Mu Yao for her opinion.
Seeing Bai Zhi leave, Song Jingshen keenly sensed something was wrong and quickly asked:
"Fifth Sister, is Mu Yao in your residence?"
Song Ruozhen nodded slightly and didn't hide anything, "Fourth brother, don't be in a hurry, sit down and let's have a good talk."
Seeing his younger sister's expression, Song Jingshen nodded. As long as he was sure Mu Yao was alright, he was relieved.
"Fifth sister, no matter what happened, you don't need to hide it from me. Is it because the Emperor doesn't approve of my marriage to Mu Yao?"
Song Jingshen's expression was solemn. In fact, he knew from the beginning that Mu Yao was of noble status and could be considered the most favored princess.
It's likely that the Emperor and Empress wanted to find her a promising scholar, a top-ranking official, but he was just a businessman. It's normal that the Emperor and Empress were not satisfied.
Song Ruozhen shook her head. "Actually, the Empress approves of your marriage. Even the Emperor didn't immediately object after hearing the news. After learning about your situation, he was even more prepared to agree to the marriage."
Song Jingshen's eyes lit up, not expecting this outcome. "If that's the case, then why..."
"Because news suddenly came from the border that the princess to be sent for a marriage alliance must be a direct descendant of the royal family," Song Ruozhen said.
Upon hearing this, Song Jingshen's eyes flashed with astonishment. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His initial incomprehension turned into disbelief, and finally into a deep sense of powerlessness.
If it were for other reasons, they could find a way to change it, but marriage alliances are related to the stability of two dynasties.
I'm afraid that no matter how strong their feelings are, it will be difficult to shake all of this.
"How could this be?"
Song Jingshen's voice was hoarse, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, so he fell silent.
No wonder there's been no news from Mu Yao for the past two days. Mu Yao must have found it hard to accept the news and didn't even know how to tell him, which is why there's been no word from her.
"Fifth Sister, is this matter set in stone, with absolutely no room for negotiation?"
Song Jingshen was still somewhat unwilling to give up. He didn't want to give up just like that. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he still wanted to try.
"Fourth brother, don't worry. I cast a divination after I learned about this, and the divination shows that there is a turning point in this matter."
Besides, I calculated your and Mu Yao's destiny before; you two are destined for each other, it's just that Mu Yao may have forgotten about it.
Song Ruozhen spread her hands. "True fate" means a destiny preordained.
In other words, this is an inseparable bond.
It was precisely because of this that she felt something was wrong after discovering the sudden change of the marriage alliance.
As Song Ruozhen finished speaking, Song Jingshen was first stunned, then his eyes filled with a strong sense of hope.
"Fifth Sister, are you telling the truth?"
"That's natural."
Song Ruozhen nodded, "You're my own brother, would I lie to you about something like this?"
"Fifth sister, now I'm pinning my hopes on you. Finding someone I love is really not easy, and my love life has been so bumpy."
If these words had come from someone else, Song Jingshen would not have believed them, but he knew his younger sister's abilities all too well and had no doubt about them at all.
After all, this is just news; there may be other developments.
"Don't worry, things are turning around, but it will take a little longer."
Mu Yao is now completely immersed in grief. I comforted her yesterday, but she was too heartbroken and couldn't think of any way to turn things around.
I just had Bai Zhi inform Mu Yao. If she's willing to come see you, then you should talk to her properly. If she's not willing, don't worry.
"I had anticipated this turning point, but it's not appropriate to discuss it openly right now, lest other complications arise."
Upon hearing this, Song Jingshen understood and said, "I understand, don't worry."
After her fourth brother went to see Chu Muyao, Song Ruozhen turned around and found that Chu Junting had arrived at some point. A hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes as she said:
"I hope this variable comes soon. If it doesn't, my fourth sister-in-law will be worried sick."
Chu Junting raised his handsome eyebrows. "From what you're saying, the prince that the Qi Yue Dynasty wants to marry into... could he be coming to the capital?"
Song Ruozhen nodded, "They're already on their way. But I don't know much about the Qi Yue Dynasty. I didn't expect that the person sent for the marriage alliance wouldn't be Wu Jingshuo."
