Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 529 Another Bird Flies In At Night (2)

Jueqing had received the invitation to Feng Xi’s grand wedding. After arranging everything at home, he took his wife and their child, who was a little over one year old, along with a carriage full of gifts and set off for Yunzhou Prefecture. They were delayed on the road for a day and a night but hurriedly traveled day and night thereafter, finally arriving just before Feng Xi’s wedding ceremony.

As soon as Jueqing stepped off the carriage, he led his wife, Qinmeng, and his child directly towards the mansion, leaving the carriage in the care of Butler Mi.

Upon seeing Feng Xi clad in his joyous wedding robe, glowing and greeting guests with a smile on his face, he stepped forward, cupped his fist in salute, and congratulated him, "I wish my cousin a grand wedding, a harmonious marriage lasting a hundred years, and the early birth of a precious child."

"Cousin! Cousin-in-law!" Feng Xi said, full of surprise. He had waited all of yesterday but didn’t see them and thought they might not make it. Unexpectedly, they managed to arrive at this time today.

"Yes, your cousin-in-law and I traveled overnight to get here. It rained for a day and night in Wanzhou the day before yesterday, which caused the delay. Fortunately, we made it today; otherwise, I would have regretted it deeply."

Seeing his cousin and cousin-in-law all dusty from travel, with his cousin-in-law carrying a sleeping nephew, Feng Xi immediately led them to ’Lotus Garden.’

"Cousin, your sister has returned," Feng Xi mentioned casually as they walked towards ’Lotus Garden,’ giving his cousin a heads-up to prevent any excessively startled reactions later on.

Jueqing was taken aback and then realized, given that his elder brother was getting married, it was certain his sister would return, "Has His Majesty arrived?"

"He has, along with the Crown Prince and the Princess."

Jueqing shook his head with a smile, chiding himself for his foolishness; it was just like Dugu Chen’s nature not to let his cousin return alone.

Soon, they arrived at ’Lotus Garden.’ Huang Yi and Xuan Yue, who were guarding the gate, were a bit surprised to see Jueqing, but they quickly regained composure and nodded to him, "Young Master Cousin."

"Yes, you have worked hard," Jueqing replied with a smile and entered the courtyard with Feng Xi.

Inside, Feng Xuxu was chatting about the past with Uncle Feng. Mei Lenglei, with sharp eyes, spotted Feng Xi in red attire entering through the main entrance and, to her surprise, the Castle Young Master Jueqing following him. She quickly walked over and whispered into Feng Xuxu’s ear.

Feng Xuxu’s expression changed dramatically, and she looked eagerly towards the entrance. It was her cousin and cousin-in-law who had entered ’Lotus Garden.’

Uncle Feng followed her gaze and, seeing someone had arrived, deemed it improper to linger. They both stood up and said to Feng Xuxu, "We were so caught up in conversation that we lost track of time. We’ll take our leave now and come back in a couple of days."

"Uncle Feng, Aunt Feng, let me see you out," Feng Xuxu offered without insisting they stay.

"No need, your aunt and I will just stroll out on our own," Uncle Feng said, and they were already stepping out of the gazebo.

Feng Xuxu, feeling helpless, called Baihe over: "Please see Uncle and Aunt Feng out for me."

"Yes, Miss," Baihe responded.

After watching them leave, she took her child and headed straight for the guest room.

"Cousin, cousin-in-law." Before she even entered the room, Feng Xuxu called out in a slightly anxious tone.

Jueqing and Qinmeng stood up to kneel in salute as Feng Xuxu entered the room, but she quickly helped them to their feet, scolding, "You mustn’t do that!"

"Alright, we’ll heed cousin’s wishes. But when others are around, we still need to perform the kneel," Jueqing would not take liberties just because his cousin did not want them to kneel. His mind was clear, always mindful of the distinction between ruler and subject.

"Uncle Cousin, Aunt Cousin, I am Yueyue, and this is my brother, Qiqi." Yueyue was not shy, having already heard about Uncle Jueqing from her mother’s lips.
