Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 2029 - 2037: Yanran Enters the Capital (Part 2)
Upon hearing, Dong Wan’er sorrowfully lowered her eyes, a look of desolation in her gaze.
It’s over. After this incident, the people of Tongzhou Prefecture will look down on her family even more. From now on, surely no one will wish to marry into their family. She will likely grow old and die at home. All because of that damn Dong Lian’er. If it weren’t for her, by now she would have been the eldest daughter-in-law of the Mu Family. The glory and respect should have been hers, and the handsome, promising Young Master Mu would also have been hers. But now, just because of that detestable slut, she has lost everything, and has become a street rat, condemned by everyone...
"Dong Lian’er, I am irreconcilable with you, relentless until death!"
She pressed her lips together and silently whispered in her heart...
On the day the mound was started, Mu Zhongqing and his wife set out with their prospective daughter-in-law from Nong’an County, heading north and returning to the capital.
It was early spring at this time, the season when everything was rejuvenated. Along the way, the mountains and waters were picturesque, with birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers. Mu Zhongqing and his wife traveled leisurely, appreciating the scenery while making their way, truly at ease.
Yanran had never felt so at ease before. From her youth, she had grown up amidst a stifling atmosphere, and now she finally had nothing to worry about, able to fully enjoy life. Moreover, whenever she thought of that person waiting for her in the capital, her face would heat up in phases, and her heart would feel sweet.
In fact, she had long admired Chong Wen and hoped to marry him as his wife. However, given the vast disparity in their social statuses, she knew she was not worthy of him and did not want to follow in her mother’s footsteps as a concubine, so she repressed her emotions and devoted herself to business.
The name of that rouge shop was chosen to commemorate her feelings for him, formed by taking the first characters of their names. Initially, she thought it impossible between them, turning her heartfelt sentiments into motivation for work, easing her inner longing for him.
What she never expected was that the Mu Family was so open-minded. Not only did they accept her concubine identity, the two elders were so kind, personally coming to escort her to the capital, letting her boundless heart finally settle and begin to look forward to a beautiful future...
Once in the capital, Yanran entered the Mu Mansion with Mu Zhongqing and his wife, meeting the Mu Family members one by one.
Cai Wei and Cai Fei were also present. Because Dad and Mom had returned, and had brought back their future sister-in-law in a high-profile manner, Nangong Yi and his wife, who were diving in the Southern Sea, also rushed back, both to welcome the elders and the sister-in-law, and to show their attention to this sister-in-law.
Seeing that the Mu family people were all so good-looking, especially the two older sisters and the children born from them, all appearance so astonishingly beautiful, she couldn’t help but feel a bit self-conscious. She stole glances at Mu Chongwen, wondering if he would feel she paled in comparison, and thus no longer pay her as much attention as before.
However, she overthought.
After half a year of longing, Mu Chongwen’s feelings for her deepened. Though constrained by the public, he couldn’t share his yearning with her, but his frequent glances and expressions toward Yanran often led to teasing from the two sisters.
Seeing him gazing warmly at her, devoid of any other sentiments, Yanran felt relieved. She respectfully and gracefully stepped forward to greet Cai Wei.
Cai Wei had already thoroughly investigated their future sister-in-law, knowing her character and abilities well. She genuinely liked this strong, resilient girl and had already considered Yanran as family. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Upon their first meeting, Cai Wei rewarded her with a substantial gift—a five percent equity in Mi Fangzhai’s Pavilion.
