Zi'an originally thought that Murong Jie would leave after the lunch banquet, but he did not expect that he would be talking to a group of ministers and relatives in the pavilion.
The noble ladies came forward to pour wine for him, with almost half of their bodies leaning in his arms, but he did not dodge or evade.
What he said about not liking women getting close to him is all nonsense.
Zi'an turned away angrily and spoke to Murong Zhuangzhuang.
Xiao Tuo came at this time. As soon as he came in, General Chen rushed over to him and frightened Xiao Tuo.
Zi'an said to Chen Liuliu as if he was watching a play: "Liuliu, if Xiao Tuoruo gets scared, this marriage will be ruined."
Chen Liuliu suddenly jumped up and wanted to rush over to chase away her brothers, but she was afraid that she would be too fierce and scare Xiao Tuo, so she poked Zhuangzhuang and said, "Princess, help me chase away those flies."
Murong Zhuangzhuang smiled and said, "General Chen, all of you come over here and help me with something."
General Chen and his men were obviously unwilling to pay attention to Zhuangzhuang. What could be more exciting than chatting with one's future brother-in-law
However, it would be difficult not to go since the princess had asked.
Murong Zhuangzhuang looked at Murong Jie, then at Zi'an, and said to General Chen with a smile, "Go and help the Regent move all the wine to my palace. I promise that when you come back, Xiao Tuo will still be there. Also, what are you doing surrounding Xiao Tuo? You should let Liu Liu talk to him."
The Chen brothers said in unison: "Yes, the princess is right."
Liu Liu is the protagonist, and it is time to let Liu Liu talk to Xiao Tuo.
On the other side, Murong Jie saw the Chen brothers moving his wine, and immediately pushed away the noble lady who was pouring wine for him and jumped up, "What are you doing? Don't move!"
Brother Chen said, "Your Majesty, the princess has asked me to deliver the wine to the princess's mansion first."
Murong Jie looked at Murong Zhuangzhuang, who raised his hand and said, "Move away."
Murong Jie was anxious, "Don't move yet!"
He walked over quickly and said angrily, "Aunt, what are you doing? Why are you touching my wine?"
Murong Zhuangzhuang reached out and patted the stool beside him, "Seeing you surrounded by a group of beauties, you've lost your soul. If I don't move your wine, will you come over?"
Murong Jie sat down and said, "You are wrong. People are kind enough to give me wine. I have to respond to them out of courtesy, right?"
"When you have wine, you lose your mind. One day, you will die in the wine jar." Zhuangzhuang said coldly.
After being scolded by Zhuang Zhuang, Murong Jie asked Zi An, "Are you complaining?"
Zi'an rolled his eyes, "I have so much free time, I might as well sit down and have a cup of tea."
After saying this, he turned his head and looked away, holding the teacup in his hand.
Murong Jie snorted, "Are you still being petty? Just now when I was surrounded by people, you didn't go to help me. This kind of fiancée is incompetent." After saying that, his face changed and he said to Zhuang Zhuang with a smile, "It's better to move this wine to the princess's mansion. I will bring it back tomorrow."
"You shameless thing!" Murong Zhuangzhuang pouted.
Xiao Tuo came over, sat down and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "This Chen Mansion is scary, the Chen brothers are not to be messed with."
Liu Liu came over and poured him tea virtuously. "Yes, the general is right. They are scary. I have always been bullied and oppressed at home."
Xiao Tuo glanced at Chen Liuliu, and felt extremely sympathetic. "Girl, no wonder you went on blind dates like crazy and even moved to the Prime Minister's residence. No one can live in the Chen residence."
This was the first time that Chen Liuliu heard Xiao Tuo speak to her in such a gentle tone. She was overjoyed and immediately pretended to be pitiful and sat next to Xiao Tuo. She took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes. "Who said it wasn't true? The elders in my family value boys over girls. I am a girl, so naturally I am looked down upon. In fact, you all think it is pitiful that Zi'an was excluded and framed by the Xiangfu. My status in the Chen Mansion is even lower than Zi'an's."
Xiao Tuo frowned, "Why is it that what I heard is not like this?"
"Before Zi'an's regretful engagement came out, did you believe that Prime Minister Xia was that kind of person?"
Xiao Tuo thought for a moment and said, "That's right. Although I didn't agree with Xia Huaijun's political platform before, I didn't expect that he was such a despicable and sinister villain behind the scenes."
Zi'an and Murong Zhuangzhuang looked at each other and felt that Chen Liuliu had no bottom line. They stood up together and said, "Let's go over there."
Murong Jie stared at Zi'an's back with a sullen face, "Look at that stingy look, so annoying."
Su Qing leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, you seem to be very concerned about Doctor Xia."
"Isn't this nonsense? She is my fiancée, so I have to pretend to be nice to her." Murong Jie looked righteous.
"That's right!" Su Qing scratched his head. Although he considered himself an expert when it came to matters between men and women, he sometimes just couldn't understand.
Seeing Murong Zhuangzhuang walking away, Murong Jie privately instructed Su Qing, "Follow the Chen brothers and ask them to move the wine to the palace."
"I want ten jars!" Su Qing said.
Murong Jie narrowed his eyes and looked at him with dangerous eyes. Su Qing looked at him and stood up. "Okay, one bowl is enough."
Su Qing's words made Murong Jie a little upset. He picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it without knowing whose it belonged to.
Xiao Tuo was still listening with great interest to Chen Liuliu's talk about her miserable childhood, which made him feel very sympathetic.
Murong Jie stood up and said to Xiao Tuo calmly, "You pig brain, she lied to you. In the Chen family, she is the apple of the eye. But I'm sure you know that she just doesn't know how to do any harm."
Xiao Tuo stared at him with wide eyes, "How can you be so heartless? Didn't you hear Sister Liu Liu say that she was almost being squeezed to death by her twelve sisters-in-law?"
Murong Jie pouted, "Sister? Everyone knows that Xia Zian promised in front of the Queen Mother that he would tie you to Chen Liuliu's bed within half a year."
Chen Liuliu raised her big, sparkling eyes. One advantage of big eyes is that they can receive a wide area of wind, and when wind enters the eyes, tears easily form. Seeing this, Xiao Tuo felt even more pity for her, and could not help but say to Murong Jie, "Go away, go away, you lonely old man, you are talking nonsense. Liuliu is a good girl, and I misjudged her before."
After saying that, he chased him away like a fly.
Murong Jie took the wine jug from the table and said, "Fill it as much as you can."
Chen Liuliu was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. It was not easy for her to get a chance to say a few words to Brother Xiao Tuo. If the Regent interfered, she would have to kill someone.
However, he was the regent, and the regent's palace was very powerful. She could do nothing but stand up and whisper in Murong Jie's ear: "Grandmother brought back more than a dozen jars of Shaodaozi from the Northern Desert. They all belong to the prince."
Murong Jie raised his eyes, turned around, and said with compassion: "Liu Liu, I know something about your affairs, but the old lady is so virtuous and respected that I can't say anything to her. I can only hope that you can find your ideal husband as soon as possible and escape from this hell of the Chen Mansion."
After saying that, he shook his head and left as if he felt sad for Chen Liuliu.
Xiao Tuo looked at Chen Liuliu and said, "In fact, I already knew that the old lady asked Doctor Xia to bring us together. I know that you don't really want to marry me, but just want to get married as soon as possible. Don't worry, I will pretend to associate with you and secretly find a good family for you."
Xiao Tuo is not stupid. He actually knows that Chen Liuliu is not in such a situation in the Chen family, but she is indeed squeezed and bullied by her dozen sisters-in-law. The reason why Chen Liuliu wants to get married as soon as possible is because she will not live past the age of 19 and needs to rely on her husband for help.
He didn't want to marry Chen Liuliu because her brother was too fierce, but he didn't want to offend Lady Chen and damage the relationship between the two families, so he had to pretend to be stupid and secretly find a husband for Chen Liuliu.
He already has a choice.
Su Qing!
