Chapter 244 Shock
Chapter 244 Shock
Lu Jinyan arrived at the door with the chosen date. The Demon King glanced at the date she had chosen, then at Mo Xuan, and finally handed the booklet to Mo Xuan.
"Choose for yourself!"
Mo Xuan took the booklet and glanced at it. There were three dates: one at the end of the month, one two months later, and one three days later. Although he really wanted to choose three days later, he was afraid that three days would be too rushed, so he finally chose the end of the month.
There are still two weeks left until the end of the month, so preparing for the engagement banquet isn't too rushed. He definitely wouldn't want to wait two months. The Demon King knows his son's temperament well and naturally knows which one he will choose.
After the date was set, both sides began preparations. Lu Jinyan's side didn't have many people, and like when she got engaged to Ruohan, they chose to have a meal at a restaurant. Mo Xuan's side was in a special situation, and she couldn't help or get involved, so she simply became a hands-off manager.
The Prince's mansion had many people and didn't need her help at all. During the past two weeks, although Mo Xuan couldn't stay with Lu Jinyan, he often went to see her.
Lu Jinyan hadn't been idle in the past two weeks either. She was also preparing for the restaurant, which would open a few days after her engagement banquet. She also needed to continue building up her goodwill with Lingyuan.
In the past two weeks, apart from the daily gifting of love stones to boost his favorability, Ling Yuan's favorability rating hadn't increased at all, which made Lu Jinyan somewhat upset. Qin Hao's body was now completely free to move around, and Lin Churan's relationship with him seemed to have become even closer.
Lu Jinyan pondered that the two of them were about to have a happy ending. Half a month later, Lu Jinyan and Mo Xuan got engaged. The son of the Demon King got engaged to an unknown little flower fairy, and even married down, which shocked many people.
However, this is ultimately their business, and outsiders have no right to interfere. So at most, they can only sigh in their hearts and dare not discuss it too much. For a time, Lu Jinyan became the object of envy and learning for many female demons.
After the engagement ceremony, Mo Xuan moved back to the Lu residence, and Lu Jinyan personally went to fetch him. Before leaving, Qingyin said to Lu Jinyan, "Let's set a wedding date as soon as possible!"
"Okay!" Lu Jinyan nodded in agreement. She naturally wanted to settle things as soon as possible, after all, you can only eat meat after you're married, right?
Lu Jinyan wanted Ruohan and Moxuan to enter the family on the same day. The Demon King expressed no objection, so Lu Jinyan began preparations, and it was another round of choosing a date.
After Lu Jinyan's engagement was finalized, Uncle Mu took Aunt Chun back home, saying they would go back and visit before returning, since they had been away for so long and it was time to go back and see her.
Lu Jinyan's wedding date was set for March, and three months was enough time to prepare for the wedding. The wedding dress was also ordered in advance. Since it was for the young master of the Demon King's family, no one dared to make them wait. Lu Jinyan personally took care of all three wedding dresses, from taking measurements to choosing the fabric and style.
She was so busy every day that she didn't even have time to go and see the restaurant's opening. Fortunately, Furong and her husband were capable and didn't need her help.
At the Demon King's Palace, Qingyin was startled when she saw the betrothal gift list in her hand.
"Brother Yu, are you sure this is the betrothal gift list that girl sent?" Although Qingyin had agreed to Lu Jinyan and Moxuan's marriage, she was still not very comfortable with it, so she had left the betrothal gifts there without ever looking at them.
Having spent time with Lu Jinyan these past few days, I've discovered that she's truly a good girl, so my prejudice against her isn't as severe anymore. That's when I remembered to take stock of the betrothal gifts she sent and then prepare her dowry.
“That’s right. I’ve kept it in the warehouse ever since she delivered it. I just took it out today. What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” Mo Yu asked, looking puzzled.
"Take a look for yourself!" Qingyin handed the betrothal gift list to her husband, her heart filled with turmoil.
Among the betrothal gifts sent by Lu Jinyan were many high-grade items, especially some pills. As a demon king, she didn't even have many in her mansion. This girl sent several boxes of them at once. How could she not be surprised?
"This... could this be a mistake?" Mo Yu was stunned after reading the betrothal gift list.
"Let's go to the storeroom and see! We'll know then!" Qingyin pulled her husband straight to the storeroom. The moment they opened the door, they saw boxes of all sizes filling the storeroom. Without asking anyone for help, the two of them closed the door and began to count them one by one.
As the boxes were opened one by one, the expressions on their faces became increasingly varied, until finally they were both numb. The items listed as mid-level on the list were actually high-level, and the items listed as high-level were almost at the heavenly level.
The number of pills was countless, and many of them were very helpful to Mo Yu's body. Mo Yu had been injured before, his demonic power was damaged, and his cultivation had regressed significantly. He had been searching for pills to treat this for years, and they never expected that they would receive so many just by marrying off their son.
For a moment, they didn't know whether to be happy or sad. The couple looked at each other, and they both thought that this girl's identity was probably not simple.
The couple put their things away untouched. Mo Yu went to find Mo Xuan to inquire about Lu Jinyan. Qing Yin, on the other hand, asked Bai Ru to investigate Lu Jinyan's background herself.
To be able to casually produce so many good things is probably not that simple. Not to mention others, even the Four Great Demon Kings couldn't produce so many things in a short time.
When Mo Yu arrived, Lu Jinyan happened to be home: "Uncle, you've arrived! Please come in and sit down!"
"It's alright, it's alright, girl, no need to trouble yourself. I just came to talk to Xuan'er about something, I'll be leaving in a bit!" Mo Yu smiled, glanced at Lu Jinyan, and didn't notice anything unusual.
He was absolutely certain that her cultivation level was less than thirty, and he had never heard of any powerful figure having a daughter with such a low cultivation level in recent years.
“Alright, Mo Xuan is in the courtyard. I’ll take Uncle there!” Lu Jinyan led Mo Yu straight to Mo Xuan’s courtyard.
Mo Yu originally intended to say no, but the girl was too enthusiastic, and he couldn't refuse.
After taking the person to Mo Xuan's courtyard, Lu Jinyan tactfully left, as it wasn't appropriate for her to be there while the father and son were talking.
"Father, what brings you here?" Mo Xuan was somewhat surprised to see his father suddenly appear.
"Xuan'er, I've come to ask you something." Mo Yu didn't know how to start, and after thinking for a while, he finally asked a few questions.
Mo Xuan frowned upon hearing his father's question: "Father, what do you mean? Why are you inquiring about Yan'er's past?"
Didn't Father and Mother already agree to their marriage? Why are they suddenly asking about this? Could something have happened?
