Chapter 271 A Substitute Bride's Brave Love, A Prince Without Heirs Forever By Her Side - 1
As Mu Wanwan emerged from the delivery room, Li Xingyu held her hand. She struggled to open her eyes, "Husband~"
With tears in his eyes, Li Xingyu kissed her hand. "Wife, I love you. Thank you for giving birth to our baby. You've worked so hard, my dear wife."
Mu Wanwan shook her head. Although giving birth was a mission, every minute and every second she spent with Li Xingyu in this world was real.
The love between the two is real, and her desire to spend the rest of her life with him comes from the bottom of her heart.
After Mu Wanwan finished her postpartum confinement, Li Xingyu personally planned a marriage proposal ceremony to surprise her.
Just as Mu Wanwan asked him why he still proposed, he said that this time it was him giving her happiness, thanking her for bravely taking 99 steps towards him, and thanking her for not giving up on him.
After the proposal, a wedding ceremony was naturally held. Although a wedding had been held before, this time Li Xingyu was in charge of organizing the entire ceremony.
All the people who came were relatives and friends, who came to witness their love.
Their love story eventually became a popular tale, and even storytellers adapted it.
In this world, Mu Wanwan watched her son get married, have children, and inherit the leadership position. In the end, she died in Li Xingyu's arms, which was her only regret.
In the final moments, she watched helplessly as Li Xingyu cried uncontrollably for her sake. Her heart ached so much that she could hardly breathe. As her hand slowly fell to her sides, his cries gradually faded in her ears.
Back in the familiar pavilion, Mu Wanwan opened her eyes, and her piglet happily called out to her, "Master!"
Seeing that Mu Wanwan was in low spirits, it knew that its owner was still immersed in the sadness of leaving Li Xingyu.
It has already followed its master on missions across several worlds, and each time it returns from a world, its master is heartbroken.
It understands that only when one has invested genuine emotion in a mission will there be reluctance to leave at the end.
"Master, a fragment of the soul!"
Mu Wanwan took the soul fragment and merged it into her palm. The suffocating feeling in her heart made her extremely uncomfortable.
Piggy quickly offered the potion of forgetfulness, saying, "Master, drink it quickly, drink the potion of forgetfulness, and all your troubles and worries will disappear."
She stared blankly at the potion of forgetfulness in her hand; with one sip, Li Xingyu would vanish from her mind.
"Xingyu, goodbye!"
She made up her mind to drink all the potion of forgetfulness from now on, and her memories of Li Xingyu gradually disappeared.
"Master, are you ready for the next mission?"
The pig tentatively opened its mouth, afraid that its owner wasn't ready.
"Come on! The sooner we finish our tasks, the sooner we'll be free."
When Mu Wanwan opened her eyes, her face was covered by a red cloth. She was about to pull it off when someone stopped her.
“Miss, this is a red veil, it must be lifted by your husband himself for good luck.”
what?
Red veil?
Is it a traditional Chinese wedding?
She looked down and saw herself in a bright red traditional Chinese wedding dress and red shoes.
A red veil, red clothes, and red shoes—it's definitely a traditional Chinese wedding.
Reminded by the middle-aged woman, she withdrew her hand and sat upright on the bed.
"Your Highness, you've arrived?"
Could the prince the middle-aged woman was talking about be the male protagonist she was tasked with completing?
"Piggy, quickly explain the task to me. What should I do next?"
With her head covered by a veil, she couldn't see anything and had no idea where she was.
"Master, I'm here!"
Piggy lay on her lap, looking up at Mu Wanwan, "Wow, Master, you're so beautiful! If I were a man, I would want to marry you and make you my wife."
Mu Wanwan really wanted to slap the pig flying. "Hurry up and get down to business. You can't even do anything proper."
“Master, you are now in ancient times, seven thousand years ago. Your man is Prince Zhuo Yucheng of this era, and you are the daughter of the Mu family.”
"A rich girl? That's quite a background."
Mu Wanwan was quite satisfied with her status as a young lady. In ancient times, if one was a slave, it would be difficult to change one's fate.
"Ahem~ Master, she is indeed a wealthy heiress, but a fallen one!"
If there were a table in front of her, she would have slammed her hand on it and shouted, "What kind of heiress is this, fallen on hard times?!"
"Master, the Mu family's business failed, and they suddenly fell into decline. Marrying you to Zhuo Yucheng is a temporary measure. The Prince's Mansion is sending a thousand taels of gold as a betrothal gift to the Mu family to help them revive."
"Then what should I do?"
“Master, Zhuo Yucheng originally favored your sister Mu Keke, but Mu Keke was unwilling to marry him after hearing that he had no heir. Your parents doted on Mu Keke and were unwilling to marry her into the royal family, but they also did not want to return the dowry that could have turned their lives around. So they took a risk and married you into the royal family as a substitute bride to bring good luck.”
Mu Wanwan was truly speechless. A fallen family, unloved by her father and mother, and forced into a substitute marriage?
Is it for a wedding to bring good luck?
"Piggy, why is marriage considered a way to bring good luck? Can you just tell me everything at once?"
Seeing that its owner was already dissatisfied with its status and now looked so anxious that it wanted to eat people, the pig was really afraid that its owner would kill it in the next second.
“Master, Zhuo Yucheng has already married several concubines, but they have been in the household for several years and have yet to bear any children.”
His mother consulted a fortune teller who divined the prince's fate. The fortune teller said that someone had to be brought into the mansion today to bring him good fortune, otherwise he would be childless for life.
Mu Wanwan was truly exasperated. "So, Zhuo Yucheng wanted to marry my sister, but she refused, and my parents made me, their unloved second daughter, marry in her place to bring good luck?"
"Master, you're amazing! You figured out the whole story in no time. In this world, you not only have to increase your favorability, but you also have to have a child with Zhuo Yucheng."
Piggy praised Mu Wanwan, but it didn't put Mu Wanwan in a good mood. "Piggy, what was the original plot?"
"After Zhuo Yucheng discovered that you were a substitute bride, he kicked you out that very night. You then died suddenly on the street, and your sister was married into the royal palace and became the princess."
Mu Wanwan was speechless. Damn it, could she really complete this mission?
Having arrived here, she has absolutely no advantage over anyone. Piggy cancels the pause, "Master, mission begins!"
"Piggy, can I change the mission? Or maybe I can choose a different protagonist?"
Piggy bit her lip in distress. Lately, her master seemed to ask the same question with every mission: "Master, the mission has been initiated and cannot be reversed. Either complete it, or perish! It's up to you!"
After saying that, the pig disappeared. "You damn pig, when you were choosing a mission, you didn't even know to find me a good background."
"Master, the specific details will gradually be transmitted to your mind, and you will be able to react accordingly when the time comes."
Just then, footsteps grew closer and closer to her. Mu Wanwan gripped her skirt tightly with her hands on her knees, her palms sweating with nervousness.
The middle-aged woman didn't seem to be in the room either; the sound of the door closing just now must have been her going out to close it.
In other words, there are only the two of them in the room now, and she doesn't know what kind of person the prince is.
