Buddhist Miracle Doctor: The Dark Prince, Can't Get Rid of Him

There were still many guests outside who had not left, and some wanted to stay for dinner before leaving.

Therefore, after receiving the news, Governor Mu, Mu Qiming only called his wife and his eldest son back to the study to discuss countermeasures.

Mu Qiming didn’t know whether the prince had faked his death or had some other reason.

But what he was sure of was that this man who was originally his son-in-law was definitely making trouble. He did not come to marry her in person, but instead picked up the bride at the gate of Xue's mansion and even worshipped her.

Because he was also worried about the reaction over there, Mu Qiming arranged several people to keep an eye on it.

The person who came back to report said that regarding the prince's matter, the rumor in the Xue Mansion was that the prince seemed to have traveled for several days in a row in order not to delay his marriage, and then went to the palace to meet the emperor at night. It was already late at night when he returned to the mansion and he was very tired, so he asked someone to pick him up in the morning.

As for the others, the guests present were also very curious and surprised, but the people in the Xue Mansion just smiled and said nothing.

Mu Qiming had another worry in his heart. He had spies in the palace, but he had no idea that the prince had returned to Beijing. What did this mean? Was it that his spies, whom he had spent a lot of money to hire, really didn't know? Or was there some other reason?

The eldest sister of the Crown Prince, Concubine Xue, was indeed neglected by the Emperor, but the status of the Xue family did not entirely rely on that noble in the palace. Marquis Xue had made contributions to the court, and his son, although young, was both civil and military, and was quite favored by the Emperor. The Emperor entrusted many matters to him.

Xue Zhenggang has several sons, but the most outstanding one is actually the eldest son Xue Wenyu. The others also seem to be outstanding, but none of them can achieve anything significant.

It was because Xue Yi fell out of favor and the news of Xue Wenyu's death that Mu Qiming decided to give up the Xue family.

But Xue Wenyu was actually alive! This matter was difficult to handle!

"Father, if the Xue family believes it and doesn't pursue the matter or make a fuss, but still demands a replacement, how should I respond?" Mu Yongjie asked worriedly.

This was exactly the problem that Mrs. Dong was worried about, and in fact, Mu Qiming had not thought of it either.

"Just agree to it. Whether we change it today or choose another auspicious day, just do it according to their wishes." Mu Qiming hardened his heart and made the decision.

After all, I was in the wrong this time, so how could I have the confidence to negotiate with others?

In short, it would be fine if the matter could be resolved peacefully and not get out of hand. He was not afraid of the gossip that would spread all over the city, but he was afraid of the consequences of betting on the wrong chips.

"Yes, son, I understand. I'll go right away." After Mu Yongjie got the instructions, he immediately asked the steward of the mansion to leave.

"Master, the Xue family is not so easy to fool. Even if they pretend to be ignorant and change people, or even if they change people to save face and keep things peaceful, Jinyi's life will not be easy in the future. Do we really want to change her?" Mrs. Dong was so anxious that tears came to her eyes.

She usually obeyed her husband's words, but she was really worried about her daughter. She knew her son had already left and she couldn't persuade her husband to change his decision, but she still couldn't help crying and asking.

"Okay, I understand this truth. But, at this point, do you have any better ideas than this? Don't worry, Jinyi is a sensible person. She knows what to do and can deal with it." Mu Qiming sighed and comforted.

Things have developed to this point. Even if the person is successfully replaced, some things are already a foregone conclusion.

"Master, you have such a cruel heart." Dong felt her heart was broken.

"You're just a woman, what do you know? Stop crying and go to Jin Yi quickly to ask people to prepare." Mu Qiming was already annoyed, and seeing his wife crying and accusing him, he became even more annoyed, and his tone became harder.

Mrs. Dong was unwilling but helpless. She wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief and walked towards the direction where her eldest daughter lived.

Preparation? The expensively embroidered wedding gown and the phoenix crown had already been worn by that lowly maid. Even if the son was brought back, the daughter would already be wronged enough. Could it be that she should be forced to wear the wedding gown that someone else had worn?

Dong hoped that the Xue family would not agree to change the bride, but thinking that this matter might affect her husband's official career and the fate of the hundreds of people in the Mu family, she had no choice but to pray helplessly, and the Xue family agreed to choose another auspicious day to marry their daughter.

That way, at least I would have time to prepare a decent wedding dress for my daughter.

But what if it doesn’t work?

Thinking of this, Dong had no choice but to stop, call the housekeeper behind her to come over, and whisper in her ear.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." The housekeeper was also quite surprised. She nodded repeatedly and turned to leave.

In theory, as long as you have money, it is not difficult to buy a wedding gown on short notice.

However, wedding dresses are all custom-made in advance by the bride's family. Unless the merchant, for the sake of money and if time permits, secretly sells it to her first, and then rushes to make it for the bride, as long as it does not delay the delivery date, it will be fine.

However, she couldn't guarantee that the wedding dress she had found in such a hurry would meet the standards of the one her eldest daughter had ordered previously.

Even if there were, the family that could customize such standard wedding gowns must be of no less status and position than the master of the family. The embroidery shop would also be afraid of not being able to explain if there were any mistakes, so it was not certain whether they would agree.

The housekeeper who hurried out of the house sighed silently in her heart. Many people envied her for doing this job in the prefect's house, but who knew the hardships involved? Even if things were done well, the master might not necessarily praise her.

But if you mess it up, then nothing good will happen to you!

Back at Marquis Xue's mansion, they were drinking tea and chatting with a few distinguished guests in the garden when they saw the servant next to my father coming over, looking like he wanted to say something.

"If father has anything to tell you, just tell me. The uncles here are not outsiders." Xue Wenyu had already seen Mu Yongjie, his brother-in-law, standing not far away.

I had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, so I deliberately didn't stand up and go to the side to ask.

"My uncle-in-law came over and said he wanted to discuss something with the young master." The servant said exactly what he said.

"Oh? Since it's my uncle who's here, why don't you just invite him over to talk? He's not a stranger." Xue Wenyu said with a smile.

When the servant heard this, he immediately turned around.

"By the way, today is the wedding day of my nephew and his sister, but I didn't see him at the banquet just now. Could it be that he didn't come to send the bride off in person today?" The general drinking tea nearby was a military officer, General Shang. He was an honest official with a generous temperament, and he asked very straightforwardly.

"Well, my dear nephew, I'm not sure about this. Maybe he has something more important to do and can't get away for the time being." Xue Wenyu responded respectfully.

At this time, Mu Yongjie heard the servant's response and had no choice but to come over here.

This prince saw me coming but didn't come over to greet me. This is not a good thing...
