Chapter 900 - 126 Child gone?
The visitor was not Meng Liangdong alone, but also Mo Sanniang. If it had just been Meng Liangdong looking for Lin Yuan, it should have been about the school, but now that these two were together, Lin Yuan smiled, somewhat grasping the situation.
Especially after seeing Meng Liangdong’s spirited demeanor and Mo Sanniang’s shy, sweet bliss, she became even more certain of her guess. It seemed a series of good events were indeed unfolding.
As expected, Lin Yuan’s speculation was not off the mark, for the pair had come to deliver a wedding invitation to her. It turned out that in the month while she was away from Zhuma Town, Meng Liangdong had asked Old Mr. Cheng to be the matchmaker and personally visited the Mo family to propose marriage.
Even though Old Mr. Cheng had not succeeded in achieving the top imperial examination rank or an official position, he donated half his life to the poor people in the southern part of the city, which earned him some fame in Zhuma Town. With Old Mr. Cheng personally proposing marriage, naturally, the Mo family’s elders were overjoyed. Moreover, they were already very pleased with the trustworthy and reliable Meng Liangdong, so the marriage was settled.
"The eighth day of the eighth month? What a good day!" Lin Yuan said, genuinely happy for the couple after a glance at the wedding invitation.
Mo Sanniang glanced at Meng Liangdong and laughed, "It was Old Mr. Cheng who personally picked the date. My parents said they wanted him to officiate our wedding."
With Old Mr. Cheng’s qualifications, nobody else but he could officiate the wedding.
Seeing Meng Liangdong smiling so broadly his teeth were almost popping out of his face, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but tease, "Mr. Meng, your dream has truly come true, winning the beauty and returning home."
Meng Liangdong chuckled, and his just-relaxed body suddenly tensed up again. Years of discipline had ingrained a habit in him. Even in the presence of the very familiar Lin Yuan, he still subconsciously straightened up.
At first, Lin Yuan was a bit worried whether such a scrupulous man, almost to the point of being pedantic, would really wind up with the bold and straightforward Mo Sanniang. But as it turned out, she was worrying over nothing.
"During Liangdong’s days teaching in the south of the city, the people there respected him greatly; I’ve visited a few times and really liked it there," Mo Sanniang said, tucking her hair behind her ear. Perhaps it was the imminence of marriage, but she seemed to exude a charm that was hard to ignore—gentle, serene, and peaceful.
