When Mingyue went to the headquarters of Qisha to rescue Madam Ji, she had mobilized the power of Wushang.
None of this was hidden from Yingyang, who was in charge of the Xing Tang. After some investigation, Yingyang was surprised to discover.
Their Wushang leader, Miss Mingyue, had quietly gotten married in China.
He immediately came to the imperial capital and found Zhecheng, who was in charge of Wushang's region in China.
Yingyang's reputation made Zhecheng betray Mingyue and reveal everything he knew.
Like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, he confessed everything without reservation.
So Yingyang chose a date and requested to visit the Ji family to see Mingyue.
Mingyue naturally could not refuse and agreed. Ji Shiyou attached great importance to this and stayed at home instead of going to the company.
He was very curious and wanted to see what the Yingyang, whom even Mingyue feared, looked like.
When visitors from Mingyue's maternal family arrived, Madam Ji, with the help of the household servants, also made meticulous preparations.
"Good granddaughter-in-law, why did your brother bring so many things?"
The old madam, standing at the door to welcome Yingyang, watched as a convoy arrived.
The items unloaded were carried by two people at a time, and they were continuously brought into the courtyard. The old lady was a little confused.
Looking at the items, they were all adorned with "xi" characters, resembling a wedding celebration.
"Greetings, Old Madam. My name is Yingyang, and I am Mingyue's brother.
I am here today to deliver my little sister's dowry. Please do not mind.
Our family just received the news, it is truly impolite!"
Yingyang was dressed in a black suit. From a distance, he appeared tall and long-legged, a handsome man.
But upon closer inspection, one could see a cold, poker face with no smile.
Furthermore, he exuded an aura that kept people at a distance, making them feel uncomfortable if they got too close.
He had memorized the Ji family's information and recognized the old madam at a glance.
He approached, respectfully greeted her, and explained the purpose of the items he brought.
Madam Ji's guess was correct; he had come to deliver Mingyue's dowry.
"There is nothing to mind. Our Ji family values Mingyue herself.
As for dowry or not, we do not mind."
The old madam smiled warmly and said affectionately, holding Mingyue's hand.
Mingyue was a lucky charm, and no amount of dowry could compare.
"Old Madam, your words are not entirely accurate. You are old and virtuous, and the Ji family is a prominent family.
If I may be so bold, this marriage between Mingyue and your grandson is not proper and should not be considered valid."
Madam Ji's words were impeccable, but Yingyang's stern face uttered words that were not pleasant to hear.
"Everyone, let's go inside. No need to stand here!"
Seeing that Ji Shiyou and the old madam had changed their expressions upon hearing Yingyang's words, Mingyue quickly intervened to smooth things over.
For Mingyue's sake, Ji Shiyou and the old madam did not retaliate, but their expressions were not very pleasant.
Without inviting Yingyang, they directly entered the villa. Mingyue gave Yingyang a warning glance.
Her meaning was clear: don't cause trouble. She followed them in.
Yingyang did not seem to mind and followed Mingyue into the villa's living room.
"Old Madam, what I said earlier was correct. Marriage is decided by parents and arranged by matchmakers.
Even if my adoptive parents are deceased, I am still her adoptive brother.
Furthermore, I watched the wedding video, and it was simply a farce.
If you valued Mingyue, you should have had a formal engagement with a matchmaker and held a grand wedding to propose.
Marrying her off so simply is an insult to Mingyue and is improper."
Yingyang did not take Mingyue's warning to heart. After taking his seat, he brought up the topic again.
"Yingyang, you've gone too far. You have no right to interfere in my marriage.
If you continue to be presumptuous, get out!
Grandmother is an elder, and you speak to her like this?"
Mingyue considered the Ji family her own home and treated the old madam as her own grandmother.
With her protective nature, seeing Yingyang being so aggressive, she immediately became angry.
Moreover, the old madam had painstakingly prepared for her wedding in just a few days.
She did not think it was as bad as Yingyang described; it was the old madam's best effort.
As for the unexpected incidents during the wedding, they were beyond anyone's control.
"Miss, even if you drive me away, I will stick to my opinion.
My adoptive parents were incredibly kind to me. They passed away early, and you are my responsibility.
I cannot allow the eldest daughter of Wushang to marry so quietly.
Wushang's one hundred thousand brothers did not even have a chance to offer their congratulations. I cannot let you be wronged.
Letting others mock you as a bride for good fortune is a disgrace to Wushang.
Your noble status should not be desecrated, nor should you marry so obscurely."
Seeing Mingyue's anger, a hint of rage appeared on Yingyang's icy face. He stood up and argued his case.
"Everyone, please calm down. I believe my adoptive brother is right. Does adoptive brother already have an idea?
I also feel that Mingyue has been mistreated. Please tell me, what can our Ji family do to satisfy you?"
Ji Shiyou, who had been silent, stood up, pulled Mingyue to his side, and said politely.
He had thought about it and realized Yingyang was right; his and Mingyue's wedding had been a farce.
Putting himself in their shoes, if his daughter were to marry as a bride for good fortune,
and her maternal family couldn't even attend the wedding or were unaware of it, he would also be furious.
Moreover, Yingyang repeatedly claimed the marriage was improper and invalid, yet he brought a dowry.
This proved that he knew in his heart that he could not change this marriage.
He must have had a purpose in saying this.
Ji Shiyou was also a perfectionist, especially when it came to Mingyue.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have agonized over a confession for so long.
Yingyang had reminded him that his and Mingyue's wedding should not have been like that.
Therefore, he got straight to the point and asked Yingyang what he meant.
"The wedding will be re-held, following ancient rites: proposal, engagement, selection of auspicious date, betrothal gifts, setting the date, and personal escort. Not a single step can be missed.
The news of the wedding will be announced to the world, and guests will be widely invited.
We want everyone to know that our Wushang's eldest daughter is marrying in splendor, not as an unknown bride for good fortune.
Rest assured, Wushang will bear all the expenses; the Ji family will not spend a single cent.
Furthermore, my adoptive father had prepared a small island overseas for the eldest daughter during his lifetime.
He was waiting for her wedding day to hold the ceremony there. I want to fulfill his last wish.
..."
Seeing Ji Shiyou's inquiry, Yingyang sat down and spoke eloquently.
Ji Shiyou's thoughts were correct; he had already planned all the wedding details.
According to his description, this wedding could be described as a world-shattering, breathtaking event.
"Adoptive brother, you underestimate me. I, Ji, am not incompetent; I still have money to marry a wife.
I really like your design. Please handle the preparations, adoptive brother.
As for all the expenses, I will pay for them."
The wedding details described by Yingyang amazed Ji Shiyou.
This was the perfect wedding with Mingyue that he had envisioned.
Therefore, he readily agreed but insisted on reimbursing all the expenses.
As a man, how could he let the bride's family handle the wedding? Wouldn't that make him a live-in son-in-law?
"Good, straightforward. For this alone, you are qualified to marry the apple of our Wushang's eye.
I have one more thing to say that requires your cooperation."
Yingyang stood up and made one last request, which made both Mingyue and Ji Shiyou's expressions change.
