Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 489 Witness

Feng Siyue looked up at Gongzi Qi, and her opinion of Mu Nanxin improved considerably.

Bai Sinian and his senior brother had an excellent relationship with Mu Nanxin.

Mu Nanxin's expression relaxed a little.

"That's good."

He sighed, "If Ah Jin had this opportunity, she wouldn't have to stay here with me."

The man seemed to remember something, and explained to Feng Siyue with a smile, "Ajin is the wife I'm going to marry."

Feng Siyue nodded, indicating that she understood.

Gongzi Qi took out a pure white box. "I brought a gift with me this time."

Mu Nanxin snapped out of his reverie and shook his head with a smile, "It's already an honor for Brother Qi to come; bringing a gift would be too formal!"

The young man pushed the box in front of him.

"Nan Xin, open it and take a look."

"Need not……"

"You don't need it, and your partner doesn't need it either?"

The words caught in the man's throat. Realizing something, he hurriedly opened the box, and a faint golden light emanated from it. Mu Nanxin looked at the contents of the box, his voice trembling.

"This is... a four-thousand-year-old golden rice flower?"

"This is too valuable!"

A 4,000-year-old golden rice flower?

Feng Siyue's doubts began to grow.

What illness did Mu Nanxin's wife have that required such precious holy-grade medicinal herbs?

Mu Nanxin didn't want to accept Gongzi Qi's congratulatory gift, but when he thought of his lover who was being tormented to the point of exhaustion, he couldn't bring himself to refuse.

In the end, all he could do was sincerely thank him.

"Thank you, Brother Qi!"

The young man said, "We're all brothers, no need to be so polite."

"Hang it here, don't let it be crooked!"

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Hurry up, don't get these red silks dirty!"

"I'm talking to you! What are you standing there for?"

Feng Siyue looked towards the door and saw a handsome young man in a bright gray brocade robe instructing four or five servants to hang up the silk.

Mu Nanxin, who was inside the room, spoke again, "Brother Qi, I have another favor to ask."

"what?"

"I would like to ask you and your junior sister to be our witnesses at our wedding."

"puff!"

Feng Siyue spat out a mouthful of tea.

Did she hear it correctly?

The officiant?

Noticing their gazes, Feng Siyue smiled awkwardly but politely, "Sorry."

Gongzi Qi paused, but managed not to lose his composure despite the outrageous request. "This is inappropriate."

Mu Nanxin smiled bitterly, "Brother Qi, in this world, besides you, no one else knows about our past."

"Even if I can't go back to that place in the future, I still want this marriage to be witnessed by acquaintances."

The man spoke from the heart, and Feng Siyue, recovering from her shock, sensed the unspoken sorrow in his words.

After a long silence, Gongzi Qi finally agreed.

"it is good."

it is good?

Feng Siyue was stunned, "Senior brother..."

The young man shook his head at her.

At this point, Mu Nanxin seemed to have no regrets. He stood up with a big laugh, "Thank you for your understanding, Brother Qi!"

"I'll have to trouble you tomorrow, Brother Qi!"

Gongzi Qi nodded.

After the person left, Feng Siyue got up and walked a few steps to the young man's side, asking in confusion, "Senior brother, how could you agree to that?"

"Their entire families, including any related individuals, were wiped out."

Feng Siyue was taken aback.

Yes.

He comes from the Mu family.

The young man continued, "Mu Nanxin, you should be able to guess, is a member of the Mu family who was wiped out overnight a hundred years ago."

"As for his wife, A Jin, she was originally a disciple of the Huayi Sect in Zhongzhou. She was killed because she refused to marry the illegitimate son of the reclusive Tu family."

"She herself was also poisoned by the other party. They wanted to force her to submit, but they did not expect that Ajin was so strong-willed that she would rather die than let the other party succeed. She jumped into the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave and was rescued by Nan Xin who happened to be passing by, which is why this story became a beautiful tale."

The Cave of Ten Thousand Spirits?

She had heard that Yan Nanfei said it was a notorious gathering place for ferocious beasts on the continent, and even a Spirit Sect member would die if he went in.

This Ah Jin is incredibly lucky.

Even so, Feng Siyue still wanted to ask,

"Senior brother, you should take the role. Why did you have to drag me along? I don't even know him..."

Gongzi Qi thought about it and realized that he knew the reason behind it. He sighed and said, "Nan Xin invited you because she probably didn't want A Jin to be gossiped about."

Several question marks popped into Feng Siyue's mind.

"gossip?"

What does their marriage have to do with anyone else?

She doesn't understand.

Gongzi Qi gave a soft "hmm," and said, "Since ancient times, the witness to a marriage has been a very important part, representing the importance and blessings that the elders of the family have for this marriage."

“If not, this marriage would not be recognized in the eyes of many people. Nan Xin would not care about the gossip behind her back, but Nan Xin was worried that she would be hurt by the rumors.”

Feng Siyue understood.

"So, I've become Ah Jin's family?"

Gongzi Qi smiled slightly and nodded. "If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be going to the bride's residence soon."

Feng Siyue fell silent. "Then...should I also prepare a wedding gift for them?"

The young man nodded.

According to custom, giving gifts represents blessings.

Feng Siyue: "......."

Seeing her blank expression, a smile appeared in Gongzi Qi's eyes, "Junior sister, don't worry, I've already prepared your share."

get ready?

Did Senior Brother already guess it?

Feng Siyue shook her head and said, "No, after all, I need his help. I can do it myself."

But what should I give as a gift?

Before she could decide, she saw Mu Nanxin rush in and stand in front of her, looking a little embarrassed. "Miss Chu, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."

...........

Feng Siyue stood in front of a quiet house in the northern suburbs of Fengcheng and blinked.

With the joyous occasion approaching, red silk ribbons were hung on the plaque.

The guard at the gate noticed a strange woman standing there and came over to ask, "Young lady, who are you looking for?"

The lady inside gave instructions that many people have come these past few days, and they should be careful not to offend any important guests.

Feng Siyue collected her thoughts, took out a pink jade lily carving, and said calmly,

"I'm looking for your wife."

The guard looked at him and immediately smiled and said, "The master had instructed earlier that a distinguished guest would be arriving soon. I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. Please come in, please come in!"

Feng Siyue nodded and followed the guard through the front hall and back garden to the largest courtyard on the right.

Fuguang Temple.

Before she even got close, she heard a series of rapid coughs.

The guard led her into the courtyard and knocked on the door. "Madam, the master has brought a distinguished guest to see you."

"guest?"

"Ahem... Nan Xin, we can't meet the day before the wedding, why did you come?"

The woman who spoke had a gentle voice, but with a hint of disapproval.

Upon hearing this, the guard explained, "Madam, the master did not come. A young lady came to see you with the master's jade pendant."

"girl?"

The voice paused for a moment, then asked curiously.

"Who is it? Please come in."

A moment later, footsteps sounded.

The door, decorated with red double happiness symbols, opened from the inside, revealing a girl in a pink dress.

Upon seeing her, the guards respectfully addressed Feng Siyue.

"This is where I'll take you, sir."

Feng Siyue nodded and stepped inside.
