Xu Wanyan, Su Hairong and Su Mu enjoyed the meal quite well.
However, Su Yunuo would glance at Xu Wanyan from time to time, as if he had a lot to say.
"Wait a minute, I'll get you something."
"Grandfather, keep it for yourself. I have enough."
Xu Wanyan wanted to refuse, her hands were really full recently.
Su Hairong shook his head. "How can that be? This should be given to you."
As he spoke, he entered the study.
Su Mu also stood up and said with a smile: "Wanyan, I have also prepared some makeup for you. Wait, I will get it for you."
Xu Wanyan felt embarrassed, "You are too polite, I don't need anything."
"Even if you don't need it, we will give it to you. We need to let King Chen know that we value you very much. That way, he won't dare to bully you in the future."
Xu Wanyan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. If Xiao Jingming were here, his face would probably be as black as the bottom of a pot.
He never imagined that in the eyes of others, he was the one who bullied others.
Only Xu Wanyan and Su Yunuo were left in the room.
I don’t have much contact with Su Yunuo on weekdays. Now that the two of us are here, I don’t know what to say.
After a long while, Su Yunuo finally spoke: "Xu Wanyan, you won't run away from the marriage, will you?"
"Cough, cough, cough, cough"
Xu Wanyan sprayed out the water that had just reached her mouth, and she looked at Su Yunuo in surprise.
"Cousin, you..."
Su Yunuo looked uneasy. "I seem to have heard rumors that King Chen is cruel. Are you...scared?"
Xu Wanyan's mind was racing. She remembered that Su Yunuo and Yang Jiaoxue had a good relationship.
Could it be that Yang Jiaoxue told her about this?
Xu Wanyan didn't dare to tell her the correct decision. After all, she didn't know which side Su Yunuo belonged to?
Thinking of this, she showed fear on her face, "Is he, is he really as the rumors say?"
Seeing her timid look, Su Yunuo couldn't help but roll his eyes at her. "How should I know? I'm not in contact with Prince Chen."
Hearing this, Xu Wanyan lowered her head and said nothing.
"I'm telling you, don't do anything rash. Your marriage to Prince Chen was decided by the late emperor. If you were to run away from the marriage, do you know what crime you would commit?"
Xu Wanyan shook her head in confusion.
"You...you don't look stupid on weekdays, so why can't you react?"
Xu Wanyan opened her mouth in confusion: "Yes, did Yang Jiaoxue and the others lie to me?"
"How should I know? I just want to tell you that you should consider the consequences before doing anything."
Su Yunuo looked at Xu Wanyan and felt a little overwhelmed. She had seemed so smart before, how could...
But, think about it, she is still a little girl, and it is normal for her to be afraid after hearing the rumors about Prince Chen.
Thinking of this, Su Yunuo's expression became better.
"If you really run away from marriage, I'm afraid you will have to..."
"Who wants to run away from marriage?"
Su Hairong and Su Mu walked in at the same time.
"Uh, no, no one wants to run away from marriage?"
Su Yunuo explained nervously.
"Then why did I hear you say you ran away from marriage?"
After saying that, he looked at Xu Wanyan, and after a long while he said, "Wanyan, are you planning to run away from the marriage?"
Xu Wanyan didn't say anything. She wanted to trick Yang Jiaoxue and the others.
Suddenly, Su Hairong's face became serious. He walked to Xu Wanyan and put down the brocade box.
"Wanyan, tell your grandfather if you don't want to marry that brat?"
Xu Wanyan neither nodded nor shook her head, "Grandfather, I..."
"If you don't want to marry him, run away."
"ah?"
This sound was made by Xu Wanyan, Su Mu and Su Yunuo at the same time.
They couldn't believe that these words were spoken by Su Hairong. You know, disobeying the imperial edict is a capital crime.
"If you want to escape, escape to the border. Although it's a little harder there, the emperor won't be able to find you."
As he spoke, he picked up the brocade box beside him and handed it to Xu Wanyan. "This is the treasure left by your grandmother. Before she left, she told me to give it to Feng'er's child. Now, I have finally received it."
"Can......"
"Even if you want to run away from the marriage, you should take it with you. From now on, food, drink and accommodation will all cost money along the way. Sell it and exchange it for silver notes so that you can take it with you."
"Can......"
"Don't say but, just do what you want. Don't force yourself to do something you don't like. If the sky falls, Grandpa will cover it for you."
Xu Wanyan looked at the elderly man in his twilight years and suddenly felt that she had gone a little too far.
Just as she was about to tell the truth, unexpectedly, Su Mu also stuffed a box in her hand.
"These are meant for you. No matter what decision you make, we support you."
At this moment, Xu Wanyan felt the love of her family and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"You..., Grandfather, Brother, do you know what this crime is?"
Su Yunuo was so angry at them that she almost died. No matter how biased they were, they couldn't be so biased. This was a matter punishable by beheading.
"Yunuo, Wanyan is also your cousin. We should respect her decision."
"But... there's nothing to worry about. My only request to you is that you don't spread this."
Su Yunuo was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time. Finally, she asked angrily: "Is this the kind of person I am in your hearts?"
No one spoke.
Su Yunuo was so angry that he ran out quickly.
Xu Wanyan didn't expect that a nice farewell dinner would end in such a bad mood.
Thinking of this, she looked at Su Hairong and Su Mu with guilt, "Grandfather, cousin, actually my cousin is right, I..."
"What's right about that? What good can she learn from hanging out with those girls from the capital all day?"
Hearing this, Xu Wanyan swallowed back the words that she wanted to tell the truth.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything outrageous."
"Wanyan, do as you wish. Don't force yourself. If you really leave, come and join us after the New Year. We will take good care of you."
"Hmmmm."
Su Mu nodded his head like a rattle.
Xu Wanyan sniffed and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Holding the two big boxes, Qiao Yun was overjoyed again.
Seeing this, Xu Wanyan couldn't help but joked: "This time, our Qiao Yun's dowry will be bigger."
"Miss, if you tease me again, I will be really angry."
Qiao Yun's face flushed red, the young lady always liked to talk about her.
Xu Wanyan looked at her and said seriously, "After we get married, I should think carefully about you. If you have feelings for someone, don't hide them."
"I don't have any."
After saying that, Qiao Yun ran towards the carriage with a red face.
Xu Wanyan looked at her back and secretly made up her mind to make Qiao Yun live a happy life.
