Chapter 115 Auspicious Wishes (33)
The day after Cerebellum returned, Ma Yuliang sent an invitation to the Zhu residence.
I was struck by how quickly the plot was coming to an end. It's been non-stop. I just visited my second aunt yesterday, and today, after having brunch, I'm off to see Ma Yuliang.
Despite her complaints, Yi Yi still packed her things and, with a driver arranged by Hong Que, headed to the Marshal's mansion.
Originally, we cleared out the horse-drawn carriages from the warehouse because we were worried that it would be inconvenient to drive in the snow.
As it turned out, both sides handled the post-snow disaster recovery work quite well; at least the road from the Zhu residence to the Marshal's residence remained unobstructed.
The carriage was left to gather dust in the warehouse.
Having ridden in an old car she hadn't ridden in for a long time, Yi Yi arrived at the Marshal's Mansion.
It wasn't Ma Yuliang's adjutant who met her, but another ordinary servant.
Given the current situation, it seems that all of these military talents have already been deployed to the front lines.
However, the young marshal Ma Yuliang was left in Yangcheng by his seriously ill father.
Following the plot, Yi Yi soon arrived at the living room of the Marshal's mansion.
The servant who was there to greet her opened the living room door and bowed slightly, gesturing for Yi Yi to enter.
After Yi Yi entered, the man closed the door from the outside, leaving a private space.
In this space, there were only her and Ma Yuliang.
?
"Where's Xiaoxiao?" Yiyi asked, puzzled.
Ma Yuliang did not answer immediately. Instead, he took her hand and led her to sit down on the sofa before explaining, "She is somewhere else."
"That……"
As Yi Yi tried to get down to business, Ma Yuliang interrupted her. The handsome young marshal looked at Yi Yi with a wronged expression and said with dissatisfaction, "Yi Yi only cares about your sister. I haven't had time to see Yi Yi lately, and she doesn't even want to ask a single question."
Upon hearing this, Yi Yi was both amused and exasperated.
He reached out and took off her hat, then ruffled her hair, soothingly saying, "Yes, our A-Yu has been working so hard lately! It's so kind of you, A-Yu, to be so busy and still cooperate with my plans! A-Yu is amazing!"
With just a few words, Ma Yuliang was hooked.
【Little Yiyi, look at how worthless he is!】 Xiaonao silently expressed her disdain in her mind.
[You're no better, shut up!] Yi Yi ruthlessly pressed him down.
Although Ma Yuliang seemed smug, the fatigue on his face was still obvious.
Yi decided to finish the important business quickly so that he would have more time to deal with military affairs.
"How has the commander been feeling lately?" After thinking for a moment, Yi Yi decided to start the conversation from a different angle.
Ma Yuliang initially thought it was just a casual greeting from Yi Yi and subconsciously intended to give a perfunctory reply. However, remembering that Yi Yi had seen Ma Dashuai's sickly appearance before, he honestly confessed, "It's not good. Now, just because of leg pain, I have to rely on a wheelchair to get around."
Although she knew that Ma Dashuai's health would deteriorate, Yi Yi was still surprised that it would happen so quickly.
After all, when we met two days ago, he was a little old man who could smoke three cigars in an afternoon.
Yi Yi patted Ma Yuliang's hand, which was holding hers, and comforted him, "The commander is getting old. He went through a lot of gunfire in his early years, so his later years will be tough."
“I know, but the old man is getting more and more confused as he gets older.” Ma Yuliang nodded and complained, “He actually listened to slander and wanted me to marry Zhu Qianxiao early to bring good luck!”
This is it!
Yi Yi's eyes lit up. If Ma Yuliang brought it up himself, the rest of the process would be much easier.
"About this... I hope you can agree to Commander Ma's request." Although she felt the matter wasn't difficult to discuss, Yi Yi still felt a little guilty when she said it.
"Why?! Isn't it enough to just keep the engagement? I was planning to marry Yi Yi!" Sure enough, Ma Yuliang immediately protested.
Yi Yi was well prepared for Ma Yuliang's resistance and quickly said what she had prepared in her mind: "How am I supposed to explain this to you?"
“That’s right! It’s a fake marriage, it’s a fake marriage!” Yi Yi poked Ma Yuliang’s cheek, who had turned into a pufferfish, and explained softly, “Believe me, your wedding won’t be able to go on.”
Glancing at Ma Yuliang, who still looked puzzled and even resistant, Yi Yi continued to coax him, "This is the last thing I'm asking of you! After you two get married for the sake of it, there won't be any two-year agreement anymore. You can do whatever you want from now on!"
Seeing Ma Yuliang's slightly softened expression, Yi Yi knew she had made the right bet.
Although we can use the two-year agreement to force him to follow the storyline, we still hope that he won't accept this mission with resistance.
After all, in the original story, Ma Yuliang was quite happy on his wedding day.
If we force him to comply, his condition will probably not be very good at that time.
"So, after the fake marriage, will Yi Yi cooperate with me unconditionally?" Ma Yuliang asked cautiously.
Yi Yi answered readily, "Yes."
Anyway, Ma Yuliang will probably be extremely busy for the next two years, at most he can only develop a secret relationship where they can't see each other for more than three days.
There's no burden at all.
Two years later, he finished the side story and left. As long as he obediently completed the wedding storyline, he could finally relax.
"Alright then, what do I need to do?" Ma Yuliang thought for a moment, then pretended to be reluctant before agreeing to the task.
Yi Yi was a little puzzled: Where did he learn this way of taking advantage of others?
But I felt relieved and told him, "Let me tell you the details—"
"In short, you should first agree to your father's marriage proposal, and then proceed with the normal preparations. On the wedding day, your wedding procession will encounter a funeral procession. At that time, Xiaoxiao will run out of the bridal sedan chair, throw herself onto the coffin on the other side, and then disappear. Just don't interfere too much."
"You mean, Zhu Qianxiao will disappear in front of everyone on her wedding day?" Ma Yuliang was somewhat surprised to hear Yi Yi's words.
Yi Yi nodded: "As for how she did it, don't worry about it. Our two-year agreement will end as soon as she disappears!"
Seeing that Yi Yi was unwilling to reveal more details, Ma Yuliang did not press the matter further and simply nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay, I'll listen to Yi Yi."
Yi Yi breathed a sigh of relief after finally finishing discussing the important matters. Thinking about the final plot, she felt a sense of relief in advance.
No, no, no! We can't let our guard down! We need to keep a close eye on the plot until the very end!
Thinking this, Yi Yi looked at Ma Yuliang and asked, "So, can you take me to see Xiaoxiao now?"
Ma Yuliang pouted, about to say something, when someone outside the door shouted loudly: "Young Marshal, military report!"
For a moment, I was interrupted before I could say anything.
Ma Yuliang gave Yi Yi a deep look.
Then he spread his arms and hugged Yi Yi tightly, taking two deep breaths.
Ma Yuliang pulled Yiyi to her feet and led her to the door.
After pushing open the door, he said to Yi Yi, "This servant will take you to see Zhu Qianxiao. Just follow him."
The perceptive servant bowed and agreed, silencing Ma Yuliang before he could say anything else.
After glaring fiercely at the servant who even took away his time to say another word, Ma Yuliang called the soldier who had come in and left the living room.
