Shen Qingxu and Mu Yunzhou, who were sparring, heard Madam Mu's voice and hurriedly separated. After they calmed down for a while, they came to Madam Mu and asked, "Madam, is there anything I can do for you?"

"I just came to bring you some refreshments. I heard you were going to hold a grand ceremony tonight?"

Shen Qingxu and Mu Yunzhou looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

They had originally intended to do these things in secret, but unexpectedly Madam Mu heard them and a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face.

"Madam, we are holding the ceremony in the evening because we want to save time."

Shen Qingxu explained and glanced at Mu Yunzhou, who quickly agreed: "That's right, the shorter the better. We think tonight is just right!"

After all, they are going to catch bandits tomorrow.

Seeing that the two of them were in sync and really anxious, Madam Mu stopped being euphemistic and asked directly, "Can you hold the ceremony for a while? Ceremonies are very grand. If you hold it lightly, it will seem a bit hasty."

After all, it was Mu Yunzhou who was marrying Shen Qingxu, so Old Madam Mu wanted to hold it in a grand manner, and it would be best if the whole Daliang knew about it.

"This..." Shen Qingxu looked at Mu Yunzhou, as if asking him what to do. After all, she was not a member of the Mu family.

"We can't wait, we have to hurry up and do it, otherwise it will be troublesome if we delay important things!"

Under the expectant gazes of Mu Yunzhou and Shen Qingxu, Old Madam Mu hesitated.

They were thinking of becoming sworn brothers tonight and setting off tomorrow to do justice as brother and sister. If they were late, wouldn't that delay their time to do justice?

When those thieves and bandits are bullying the people, they don't think they can wait until tomorrow. Just one day later, the people in those places will be bullied, which is what Mu Yunzhou and Shen Qingxu don't want to see.

"Grandma, I can't wait any longer!"

When Madam Mu heard this, she looked at Shen Qingxu's belly with a strange look in her eyes.

The only thing that could make Shen Qingxu and Mu Yunzhou anxious was probably the fact that they had a child.

Now, Madam Mu also found an excuse for the two of them to rush into marriage. If Shen Qingxu got pregnant and delayed for a few days, and the child was not born at the right time, wouldn't she be embarrassed?

There is really no time to delay!

“Okay, then you guys take a good rest in your room and don’t compete with each other anymore. I’ll help you prepare for the ceremony!” Madam Mu gritted her teeth and agreed.

In fact, Madam Mu wanted to tell Shen Qingxu to follow her and see if there was anything else that needed to be added to the ceremony, but... she looked at Shen Qingxu's belly again, and felt that she couldn't let her work too hard, so she simply left first.

The people of the Mu family noticed that Madam Mu looked strange, and asked curiously, "What did they say? Do they have any new requests?"

Madam Mu glanced at the person who asked the question and said unhappily, "Why are you everywhere? Go and prepare the things for the ceremony. It has to be grand, okay? There can't be any mistakes!"

"Yes!"

The people from the Mu family agreed, and then they worked even more enthusiastically.

In the whole afternoon, everyone in the capital knew that Shen Qingxu was going to marry Mu Yunzhou. The people were even happier, especially those who liked Shen Qingxu. They suddenly had the mentality of marrying off their daughter and became more demanding of the Mu family.

However, the two people who were sparring did not know this. They just felt that Madam Mu attached too much importance to this sworn brotherhood. The sound of servants running outside could be heard from time to time, which made them feel an inexplicable sense of guilt in their hearts.

"It's a bit rushed to hold the ceremony tonight, and judging from the old lady's expression, she wants it to be very grand."

Shen Qingxu touched his chin and stopped attacking Mu Yunzhou.

Mu Yunzhou thought of the old lady's look at that time, and felt that Shen Qingxu's words made sense, so he asked, "Then what should we do? Do we really need to change the time? But I have made plans. If we set out early tomorrow morning, we will reach the first place where the bandits gather within three days."

"Of course not. I think our sworn brotherhood ceremony doesn't need to be so grand. This way we can save a lot of time."

Mu Yunzhou also felt that Shen Qingxu's words made sense, so he went to find Old Madam Mu.

When the old lady saw Shen Qingxu coming over and trying to sit down carelessly, she hurriedly asked the maid to help her up: "Why are you here instead of taking a good rest?"

Mu Yunzhou and Shen Qingxu now saw more clearly how much Mrs. Mu cared about the ceremony, and felt that they really needed to talk to her about it.

"Madam, we also know that it is really rushed to hold the ceremony tonight. Besides, there is no need to prepare too ostentatiously for the sworn brotherhood ceremony. Just hang some red silk to create a lively atmosphere."

"What are you talking about!" Madam Mu angrily scolded Mu Yunzhou: "This is a very important ceremony for you, how can you be so casual?"

Shen Qingxu also chimed in: "This is actually the result of our joint discussion. As long as the ceremony is held as quickly as possible, the rest is not something we both care about."

Since Shen Qingxu had spoken, Madam Mu could only reluctantly agree: "Okay, since the princess has spoken, then prepare more red silk to hang up."

The two left with satisfaction. It turned out that Madam Mu's hearing was indeed not very good. They were talking about the sworn brotherhood ceremony and hanging some red silk.

As a result, Madam Mu only heard the wedding ceremony and the hanging of red silk, and didn't hear the rest at all.

The maid went out to make tea, and when she came back she found that the two people had left. She didn't hear anything the whole time, so she asked in confusion: "Madam, do you want to send this health tea to the princess?"

"Of course you should, but after you deliver it, tell everyone else to hang red silk all over the house!"

"Yes!"

"Go to the Duke Ding's Mansion next door and borrow some more."

"Yes!"

The maid first brought tea, and then told them the request of Mu Yunzhou and Shen Qingxu.

When Lin Mengping knew that the old lady wanted to borrow red silk, she said there was no need to borrow it and she would go buy a new one.

The whole mansion was busy again. Lin Mengping actually bought all the red silks in the capital and hung them up. The whole mansion suddenly became lively and filled with a festive atmosphere.

The Mu family had no experience in holding a wedding overnight, but as they were wealthy and powerful, they quickly made preparations and invited relatives from the Xiao family, the Shen family and many other families to attend the wedding.

As for the retired emperor and the empress dowager, the Mu family was not worried and felt that they would definitely come.

Indeed, Shen Qiuchi and Xiao Qi have now changed into clothes for the ceremony, and Xiao Qi is helping Shen Qiuchi draw his eyebrows.

Just when the last stroke was made, Xiao Qi froze. His dull expression made Shen Qiuchi laugh: "What's wrong with you? Your hand is still frozen. Is your old illness flaring up?"
