Xu Muwan was initially quite happy listening to this, but the more she listened, the more something seemed off. "Wait a minute, why does it sound like the Crown Princess has been bullying you every day ever since you two met?"

Niu Mingjie was about to say, "You finally figured it out."

Xu Muwan continued, "Aren't you saying it backwards? You're the one who bullies the Crown Princess every day, aren't you? The Crown Princess was only six years old back then, wasn't she? How could a six-year-old girl possibly bully you?"

Niu Mingjie was extremely frustrated!

Niu Mingjie wants to say, haven't you heard the legend of Yun Xiaoliu?

However, given Xu Muwan's level of admiration for Yun Xiaoliu, it would probably be pointless to say anything.

Forget it, he's already admitted that he won't marry anyone but Yun Xiaoliu, so it's not a big deal if he also admits that he bullied Yun Xiaoliu every day when they were kids.

Niu Mingjie looked up at the moon again. "You're right. I bullied her every day, and I regret it so much now. I don't even have the chance to be nice to her anymore."

After saying that, two more tears welled up in Niu Mingjie's eyes.

These two tears are real this time.

Even though it was Yun Xiaoliu who bullied him, he still had to admit that it was Yun Xiaoliu who bullied him.

How pitiful he is.

When he returns to the capital, he must make Yun Xiaoliu treat him to a good meal.

Xu Muwan felt a pang of regret when she saw Niu Mingjie crying again. "I'm sorry, I made you sad again."

"It's nothing." Niu Mingjie took a sip of his drink. "I'm used to it. It's getting late, you should go back and rest, your injuries haven't fully healed yet."

How can I leave like this? "It's alright. The moonlight is quite beautiful tonight, let's compose a few poems."

"Okay. I'll go first."

"OK."

Niu Mingjie began by reciting a sorrowful poem.

Xu Muwan: "..." Maybe she should go back and rest.

After finishing his poem, Niu Mingjie looked at the moon sadly for a while before saying, "It's your turn."

Xu Muwan was originally quite good at writing poetry.

However, after being teased by Niu Mingjie, Xu Benwan didn't know what poem to write.

How about a sad one? I'm afraid it would make Niu Mingjie even more heartbroken.

How about a cheerful one? I'm afraid it will make Niu Mingjie feel even worse.

Niu Mingjie saw that Xu Muwan was hesitant and reluctant to part with him. "By the way, how did you deal with your mother? My mother wrote to me again."

Xu Muwan breathed a sigh of relief. "I told my mother that I wanted to wait until I passed the imperial examination before getting married."

"And then your mother stopped pressuring you?"

"Um."

“Your mother is really easy to deal with. My mother told me that she has already made a deal with my eldest brother and my eldest nephew that if I don’t get married, I will not be allowed to enter the ancestral grave.”

So ruthless?

No wonder he wants to find someone to marry.

"So... what are you going to do?"

"I don't know either, I'm so worried. Can you help me think of a solution? You're smarter than me. The only thing I can think of is faking a marriage with someone."

"A fake marriage?"

"Yes, it's a big deal that we can't be buried in the ancestral graveyard."

really.

Niu Mingjie took another sip of wine. "But what woman would be willing to fake a marriage with me? Even if there were, I wouldn't dare. I'm afraid she's after the Crown Princess. You know, many girls admire the Crown Princess and want to talk to her, chat with her..."

"And my father is the Crown Princess's godfather, so the Crown Princess often visits my house."

"Whoever marries me will be able to meet the Crown Princess, and will be able to talk and chat with her."

"If it's just normal conversation, that's fine. I'm just worried that she'll start screaming as soon as she sees the Crown Princess. How embarrassing would that be for me?"

"Furthermore, if she gets too close to the Crown Princess and starts helping her family, I'll be even more embarrassed."

"well!"

Niu Mingjie sighed deeply. "Finding a suitable person for a fake marriage isn't an easy task."

After saying that, Niu Mingjie started looking at the moon again and drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

Xu Muwan had no time to comfort Niu Mingjie. She was deeply attracted by the sentence, "Whoever marries me will be able to meet the Crown Princess and have a chat with her."

Seeing that Xu Muwan remained silent, Niu Mingjie continued, "If only I could find someone who wouldn't embarrass me in front of the Crown Princess and who would also be willing to have a fake marriage with me. But where can you find such a good thing? Sigh!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Muwan immediately said, "Look at me, how could I..." At this point, Xu Muwan came to her senses!

How could she do this?!

Fortunately, Mr. Niu was slow to react after drinking too much.

Otherwise... otherwise she should find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Look, I've been out for a while now. I'm going back now. You should get some rest too."

After saying that, Xu Muwan quickly left.

Niu Mingjie quickly rubbed his leg after she left. He wasn't one to cry on cue; his tears were all drawn out with needles.

well!

Why is it so difficult for him to find a wife when other people find it so easy?

well!

Hopefully this trick will work, otherwise... otherwise he'll have to stab himself.

Just as Niu Mingjie finished thinking, Ning Yirong and Lao Hei jumped down from the tree.

Niu Mingjie: "..." Who are these people? "You just arrived, right?"

Old Black: "No."

Ning Yirong: "Not bad, you've learned to apply what you've learned to other situations. I just told you a few days ago not to argue with rumors, to use rumors to make Miss Xu sympathize with you and pity you, and today you've learned to use Xiao Liu to seduce Miss Xu."

Niu Mingjie wanted to beat up Lao Hei and Ning Yirong.

However, he couldn't beat any of them.

Also, Ning Yirong is the crown prince, and Lao Hei taught him kung fu.

Niu Mingjie mentally punched Lao Hei and Ning Yirong. "You two are really bored. I'm not seducing her, I'm just telling her that if she marries me, she'll be able to meet the person she admires."
