After Xiaocao left and only a few grown men were left, the atmosphere on the scene became a little subtle.
Of course, the most important thing is between Wei Tingyu and Mu Bei. Fan Wuguo wants to watch the show from the sidelines. According to his personality, it is unlikely that he will notice this. However, he found clues in the "tit-for-tat" between the two people last time. As for Wen Renyang, well, he is probably not in good shape again, so don't expect him to notice anything.
Mu Bei's feelings for Xiaocao, when he first proposed to marry Xiaocao, he used the excuse of "suitability" to evade the idea because he noticed Xiaocao's aversion to some of his actions. Later, he found out about what happened between her and Wei Tingyu, so he felt a little disappointed. However, given Wei Tingyu's physical condition, he could wait, but...
Mu Bei felt bitter. God was not on his side. If Wei Tingyu recovered, he would have no chance at all. It was a bit despicable to have hoped that Wei Tingyu would die. After Wei Tingyu recovered, he really congratulated him on his recovery. He tried harder to control his emotions. Maybe he would let it go slowly over time. But in his heart, he felt like he was soaked in bitterness.
Regardless of his character or upbringing, Mu Bei naturally would not do anything to snatch someone away. However, even though he had a clear understanding and made up his mind, he still couldn't remain calm when facing Wei Tingyu.
In fact, his targeting of Wei Tingyu was not so open and aboveboard. On the contrary, it was different when Wei Tingyu targeted him. After all, Xiaocao was his wife and was coveted by others. It was obviously more justified for him to attack the other party.
"The prince will be removing mourning clothes soon, right? Should the marriage be put on the agenda? After all, the prince is the only child of the Mu family now. The old concubine would also like the prince to remarry soon to expand the Mu family."
As soon as Wei Tingyu opened his mouth, Mu Bei was deeply hurt, because Wei Tingyu had just returned from outside, and although it was not certain before, there were rumors that he was well. Originally, he could still wait, but when this incident happened, he knew that it was impossible for him to marry the fourth lady of the Wen family, so, yesterday, although his grandmother did not say it explicitly, she also mentioned this matter vaguely.
For the sake of his grandmother and the Mu family, he had to remarry and there was no possibility of shirking his responsibilities.
It would be fine if someone else said it, but it was Wei Tingyu who said it, which was obvious that he did it on purpose. Mu Bei's expression suddenly became tense, "There's no need for Wei Shizi to worry about this." If she wasn't someone he liked, she probably wouldn't be as compatible with him as Guangsi was, so it didn't matter who she was. I didn't say anything to my grandmother yesterday, but I still held on to the last bit of fantasy. After I go back today, I'll probably let my grandmother make the decision.
"I just admire the Mu family, and I'm grateful for the contributions of the Mu family's ancestors to Qi Chao. I care a little about the continuation of the Mu family, that's all." The implication is that it has nothing to do with you, Mu Bei, so don't think too much about it.
Mu Bei was speechless for a moment, there was no other way, he was a military general after all, in terms of twists and turns, and in terms of eloquence, he was indeed unlikely to be Wei Tingyu's opponent. In the end, he could not stay any longer, so he simply turned away. Facing Wei Tingyu was probably worse than facing those officials who came to him, although he was averse to dealing with those people from the bottom of his heart.
He would rather face those people now, obviously he is very irritated.
Fan Wuguo looked at this, then looked at that, and shrugged.
Wei Tingyu suddenly cast his eyes on him, "Young Master is eighteen this year. In the past, because of your different appearance and your young age, the princess might not have considered your marriage. Now the situation is different. Who knows when it will be time to attend the young master's wedding."
Fan Wuguo's face froze, and then he cursed, "Wei Tingyu, you really are a cruel person." Didn't he just say a few words that if Wei Tingyu died, his sister would let him take over? What did Wei Tingyu say at the beginning? Didn't he personally let him try it? In the end, he was so narrow-minded that it was recorded in the account book.
"I'm just pointing out a fact, how can you be so cruel?" Wei Tingyu said leisurely.
Yes, this is true, but I'm sorry, he had no plans to get married before, and he doesn't have any plans now. I don't know if he will have any plans in the future, but it is impossible in the next few years at least. However, his mother may really have this consideration, but she just hasn't told him yet.
No, he has to stop his mother from having such thoughts when he gets back. He can't help but get goosebumps at the thought of having a delicate and gentle woman around him.
Over there, Xiao Cao finally got some free time and was chatting with Xia Bihe and Xu Tongdan. These two were originally Xiao Cao's patients. Moreover, during the few months when Xiao Cao and Wei Tingyu were away from the imperial city, she actually got along quite well with Wen Renying. This time when Wen Renying was getting married, it was she who personally sent invitations to these two people.
It can be said that these two people have good backgrounds, but as the saying goes, every family has its own problems. These two people are also very low-key. Most of the guests at Wenrenjia don’t even know them. Because of this, they have been "hiding". If Xiaocao hadn't noticed them, who knows how long they would have "hid".
However, Xu Tongdan was a little abnormal at this moment. He was hesitating and it was obvious that he had something to ask Xiaocao.
"Tongdan, just say what you want to say."
Xu Tongdan's hair has grown a lot because of the brain surgery she had. However, it is not possible to have long hair that can be easily tied into various buns. There is no sign of abnormality at the moment because she is using a wig.
Xia Bihe also met Xu Tongdan by chance. After they became familiar with each other, they had more contact and gradually, their relationship became very good. At this moment, she was a little curious about Xu Tongdan's reaction.
"Well, I just want to ask King Dingbei..." She couldn't continue the conversation. She lowered her head, twisted her handkerchief uneasily, and her face flushed.
Even a fool could tell what was going on. Xiaocao blinked, "Did Tongdan fall in love with King Dingbei at first sight?" With people like Third Master Xie and the young master here today, King Dingbei should not be very conspicuous, so how come... It's not that Xiaocao thinks Mu Bei is not as good as these two people, it's really that King Dingbei has not made his presence felt.
"Oh, no, this is not the first time I met the King of Dingbei. Actually, I happened to be back in the imperial city when his former princess was sent back to the imperial city. I saw him receiving the spirit." Xu Tongdan spoke hesitantly. This first meeting was actually nothing, but she felt a little embarrassed because she had developed feelings for him. "In fact, when I was in the ancestral land, I heard about his deeds in the northern border."
Oh, I see. The heroic complex came first, and then maybe he was touched by King Dingbei's words and actions when they first met. It's that simple to develop a good impression of him.
Xiao Cao suddenly had an idea, "You were injured last year, maybe you wanted to meet him by chance?"
