Murong Xue's hesitant attitude aroused Jiang Ming's suspicion!

Thinking to myself, I wonder if Xue'er is also siding with outsiders and trying to persuade me on behalf of her father?

"Just say what you want to say! I don't like beating around the bush..."

"My husband!"

Murong Xue said coquettishly, "Look, what do you think of my little brother, A Lie?"

"Your brother?"

"Um!"

Murong Xue said, "Ah Lie is a handsome man, tall, and incredibly brave. Most importantly... he listens to his husband. He'll definitely become his right-hand man in the future..."

"Well......"

Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and said, "A Lie is a good kid, so what exactly are you trying to say?"

"My husband!"

Murong Xue rubbed against Jiang Ming, continuing to plead, "Ah Lie, you've taken a liking to your sister Nanxiu and want to marry her..."

"Well......"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming immediately frowned.

Actually, he thought it was a good thing, but Jiang Ming felt that the sunk cost was a bit too low, since Murong Lie got off so easily!

Murong Xue was just saying that Tuoba Hai, the leader of the Tuoba tribe, had to achieve three great military exploits in order to marry Dugu Yan!

Therefore, Murong Lie also has to pass a test before he can marry his sister!

"Husband, what's wrong? You seem reluctant?" Murong Xue asked with some concern.

"No complaints!"

Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and then asked, "What do you think of Nan Xiu?"

"Wow! Just like a fairy from heaven..."

Murong Xue said enviously, "Xiuxiu is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen... She's such a good person, gentle and virtuous, intelligent and quick-witted, and has a lovely voice... If I were a man, I would admire her too..."

"hehe......"

Jiang Ming smiled faintly and said, "My sister, if she's going to marry, she has to marry a hero!"

"puff!"

Murong Xue smiled and said, "I know! My idea is... After A Lie marries Nan Xiu, I will speak well of him to Father Khan and try every means to make A Lie the heir... In this way, a hundred years later, the Great Khan of Xianbei will be your brother-in-law and husband! What do you think of this arrangement?"

Jiang Ming smiled and sighed slightly: "In all things, one should remain hidden and not act rashly. Don't reveal your intentions too early, or you will inevitably suffer losses. Your father is a shrewd and ruthless man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals... Don't let him see through your thoughts too early, or it will backfire!"

“Oh…” Murong Xue nodded thoughtfully.

"Ah Lie wants to marry Nan Xiu, no problem! But two conditions must be met!"

Which two conditions?

Jiang Ming said, "First, my sister has to like him! If she's not satisfied, this won't work out. Even though I'm her brother, I won't force her to marry someone she doesn't like. Second, he has to do me a favor and satisfy me..."

"Pfft! Giggle!"

Murong Xue smiled and said, "As for the first one, I don't think there's a big problem! A Lie has already confessed to Xiu Xiu and even gave her a pearl. Xiu Xiu accepted it, so it can be considered... a token of their love."

"Eastern pearl?"

"Yes!"

Murong Xue smiled and said, "That thing was originally part of A-Lie's mother, Consort Dugu's dowry. His mother loved her son, so she gave it to A-Lie, telling him... to give it to his beloved in the future, that he could only have one in his life. So A-Lie gave the Eastern Pearl to Nanxiu..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Ah Lie is actually a love-struck fool..."

"Yes, Ah Lie is very devoted!"

Murong Xue said, "As long as you agree to let him marry Nanxiu, Alie will definitely be loyal to you to the death!"

"A-Lie's mother is from the Dugu tribe? Is she related to that Dugu Yan?"

"Of course!"

Murong Xue smiled and said, "Two sisters..."

"ah?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming was even more bewildered!

The blood relations among the Xianbei people seem so complicated!

He was going to marry the Grand Consort of the Changsun tribe, who was Murong Xue's aunt.

And the chief wife of the Tuoba tribe was actually Murong Lie's aunt...

This is... a gap of two generations!

What should Ah Lie call himself from now on?

Is he my brother-in-law? My uncle? Or my brother-in-law?

"Then you should call Dugu Yan 'Auntie,' right? Why do you call her 'Auntie'?" Jiang Ming asked, puzzled.

"Giggle giggle..."

Murong Xue laughed and said, "After all, I wasn't born to Consort Dugu. Besides, Tuoba Hai and my father Khan have become sworn brothers, so it's more appropriate for me to call her Aunt!"

"Oh, I see!"

Jiang Ming nodded thoughtfully: "By the way, what's your aunt's name again?"

“Changsun Yuenu,” Murong Xue replied.

"Ugh! This name is awful!"

Jiang Ming sighed, "Changsun Yue sounds just fine, why did you have to add 'slave' to it?"

"puff!"

Murong Xue laughed and said, "This is our Xianbei language, just like how you Gan people call women 'Ji'."

"My husband!"

Murong Xue advised, "After my two elders arrive, you should raise a child with them as soon as possible. That way... their maternal families will be more loyal to you!"

Jiang Ming smiled helplessly and said, "The relationships among you Xianbei people are so complicated. When I meet your mother in the future, should she call me son-in-law or brother-in-law?"
