337 Mother is Scarier than Men
Ming City
After Jun Hua arrived in the Ming City, she returned to her residence first. The residence was something that the previous emperor of Ming Kingdom gifted to her, but she already cleaned up the place and made sure to explore the place through fully. After all, it was such a waste if she didn't use it.
"This one greets Princess Hua," Madam Xie, Xiao Yun, and Xia greeted Jun Hua.
Jun Hua smiled when she saw them, "You don't have to call me Princess. Just call me Miss as usual."
They complied before taking Jun Hua around. After not coming here for months, in fact, it was more than two years, Jun Hua didn't really remember the place anymore. Although there was almost no change, she still felt that this was an unfamiliar place.
In the first place, she never came here that often and only occasionally came because she was not comfortable in coming here except if there was any need. As for living, she preferred living with her grandfather because she was an unmarried woman. Now that she was officially the princess and the war was partially over, she could stay here if she wanted to.
"You did a good job in taking care of this place, Madam Xie," Jun Hua praised.
"This one is only doing my job," Madam Xie beamed. Taking care of an empty household was easy because she only needed to clean the place. Although she missed her daughter, meeting her daughter again and found the girl living well and all were already more than enough.
Jun Hua nodded her head, "I will be living here for the time being. Oh right, what is the situation in Jun Family residence?"
Due to them going to Mountain Kingdom and leaving the residence, she didn't appoint anyone to take care of the place. In case the emperor chose to torture them, she preferred the place to be unattended. After all, living being was different with items and she didn't want to make pointless death.
As for this place, the emperor would not dare to slight the place belonged to Young General Jun Min since he was the famous general in this kingdom. Many people adored him, so she knew that this place was practically safe. That was unless the emperor went mad and ignored the angry citizen.
"The place is still fine," Madam Xie answered, "There are some groups of people that come there and didn't allow the place to be tainted by the soldiers. The previous emperor cannot do anything because he's busy dealing with the war."
Jun Hua smiled wryly. Those people were an idiot, but she still felt bad for making them protected the place, "Xia, search for their identity and give them money pouch as my thanks."
"Yes Miss."
Xia quickly did as Jun Hua said as the girl strolled around the place once more before sitting on the chair. She looked towards Madam Xie with a grin.
"Madam Xie, I will be troubling you to help me with my wedding."
Madam Xie smiled kindly, "Leave it to me Miss."
Jun Hua listened to Madam Xie's preaching attentively. Because she never participated too deep into the preparation for the wedding, she didn't know most of them. Thankfully, Madam Xie was already there when her mother had gotten married, so she can ask many things to her.
After an exciting morning full of lectures, there were people coming to her residence at afternoon. The people who came were Soujin with his mother and grandfather.
Qin Shie was the first one to get out of the carriage. Seeing her excited expression and the slight trace of perspiration, Jun Hua knew that Qin Shie was one who wanted to meet her the most.
Upon seeing Jun Hua, Qin Shie greeted her formally. However, Jun Hua stopped her because she didn't like it if her friends or someone she knew was bending down to her. Besides, with her being Soujin's mother, she wouldn't want her to bend down to her.
"Please don't Madam Shie," Jun Hua moved forward and helped her to rise.
When Qin Shie experienced Jun Hua strength, she smiled bitterly, "So the rumor that you're Jun Min is true, isn't it?"
Although Jun Hua formally introduced herself to the soldiers after the battle, she hadn't made any announcement to declare her identity. Because of that, the fact remained a rumor and many people still couldn't believe it.
Jun Hua nodded her head, "I'm sorry that I hide it, Madam Shie."
"It's fine," Qin Shie smiled kindly, "And, please calls me mother, Hua'er."
Jun Hua was stunned, "But…"
"I insist. I have long wanted my foolish son to get married, but he takes so long to bring a woman home. Now that you're going to become my daughter, there is nothing wrong in calling me mother," Qin Shie persuaded her.
Jun Hua nodded her head as her heart turned warm, "I understand Mother."
"That's good," Qin Shie pat Jun Hua's hand kindly, "I have talked with Soujin and he wanted the marriage to be so quick. That is absolutely impossible. I would not allow the ceremony to be cut…."
When it came to preaching, Qin Shie completely turned into a different person. She would not stop before explaining the matter to Jun Hua. One way or another, they finally managed to get inside the residence and talked about the matter formally.
Usually, the one who will take care of the things was the bride's mother, but because Jun Hua's mother had died, Qin Shie was the one taking care of it. Explaining many things, Jun Hua felt that it was good that she had preaching this morning or she would not be able to keep up with Qin Shie.
"Hua'er, when will your next birthday?" Qin Shie changed the conversation.
"It will be in around one month, Mother," Jun Hua answered.
"We will hold the wedding in two months then," Qin Shie changed the date easily, "Mother will surely prepare the best ceremony for the two of you."
Soujin interrupted them, "Mother, can't the marriage be quicker?"
"Why are you rushing so much?" Qin Shie was displeased, she didn't want to break the ritual for marriage and they were not supposed to rush something important as this.
"Mother, there will be some matters that I have to do," Soujin couldn't explain everything because he didn't want her to worry, but he was saying the truth because he can't delay in the capital for a long time.
Although Qin Shie was the one hoping for marriage the most, she didn't want to be rushing things. The ceremony was really important, and they have to pick the most suitable date.
Going back and forth with Soujin and Nanglong Souka, they debated about the date. On the other hand, Jun Hua chose to stay back because she didn't understand why a simple thing like date would make them debated for so long.
After some time, they decide the time to be next month, a few days after Jun Hua's birthday.
"No more rushing. I want the ceremony for my son and daughter in law to be perfect without any trouble. Marriage is really important for a woman," Qin Shie said in hard tone.
Seeing Qin Shie like this, Soujin and Nanglong Souka could only concede and followed what she had decided. Jun Hua smiled wryly, the power of a mother was terribly dangerous.
