C15 (1/2)
Crack, crack, crack. The sounds of firecrackers rang out in unison, and the guests in King Yu's Mansion were as numerous as the clouds.
”Bai Yu Guan Yin outside Zhang Yuan …”
”Steward Liu, use your Green Edge's treasured sword …”
”Lord Prefect Jin has come to congratulate you …”
The attendants in charge of receiving gifts at the door continuously shouted loudly. The guests within the door were as numerous as the clouds, and the crowd was so noisy that it had already filled the entire courtyard of the manor.
He wasn't very good at dealing with these kinds of things, greeting others gave him a headache. Whenever someone greeted him, he would laugh, and if no one paid him any attention, he wouldn't even bother to smile.
If it was any other time, King Yu would have reminded him, but today, he was preoccupied with something and was in no mood to remind him. He only focused on dealing with the guests and soon put Mu Yi An on the side.
Mu Yi'an didn't like dealing with these kinds of things either. He hid and hid, but in the end he still hid in a corner.
King Yu treated it as though he didn't see it. After all, this person was no longer his son-in-law, and what was troubling him was … How should he explain this to Mu Yi'an? After all, the two of them had been engaged since they were young. If he knew that Yun Jiao had this kind of luck, he wouldn't have put his mind to Mu Yi An.
”Hiss —”
Mu Yi'an was in a daze and heard some strange noises. When he turned his head, he saw Yi Xiaoqiao's little face and couldn't help but frown. ”Weren't you locked up? Why are you here?”
Yi Xiaoqiao tiptoed like a thief, carefully arriving beside Muyi: ”I came to find you.”
”You still think I'm not enough?” Mu Yi An asked snappily.
”I wasn't willing to look for you yesterday.” Yi Xiaoqiao decided to push this matter to Yun Jiao. In that case, Mu Yi An would definitely understand Yun Jiao's ”good intentions”.
”Oh? Is someone holding you up with a knife? ” Mu Yi'an asked, turning to leave.
”I was ordered, do you understand?”
”Where are you going?” Yi Xiaoqiao looked left and right before pulling him back. ”Don't go, I have something to tell you.”
”In broad daylight, how is it proper to pull and pull? ”Let me go.”
”If you don't leave, I'll let you go.”
Mu Yi An pulled back his sleeve. ”Speak.”
”Princess Yun Jiao's heart has changed.” Yi Xiaoqiao went straight to the point.
Mu Yi'an frowned, looking at her like she was crazy. ”Yi Xiao Qiao, even if you want to sow discord between me and the princess, you don't need to tell such a lie, do you? Do you think that the princess is you?
”That woman last night …”
”You arranged it?” Mu Yi An asked.
Yi Xiaoqiao almost vomited a mouthful of blood. What did it have to do with her? It was arranged by Yun Jiao!
”Why do you think that? Why would I do that …”
”How do I know why you did it?” Mu Yi An held a medicine bag between two fingers and handed it over to her.
Yi Xiaoqiao found the medicine bag familiar and subconsciously reached into his bosom. It was gone!
Her face flushed red. ”This … ”This …”
”I found it where you were standing yesterday. Don't say it wasn't yours.” Mu Yi An sneered, ”Joyous Union Disperse, lucky you found it!”
It was over. There were no excuses. In Mu Yi'an's eyes, she had completely become a woman with ulterior motives.
”Let's go, I'll pretend I didn't see you.” Mu Yi'an turned around.
”I …” Yi Xiaoqiao was speechless. His stomach filled with words, and he nearly suffered internal injuries. ”You can let me go, but give me back my things!”
