"Yes." Seeing that Jiao'er's expression wasn't as angry as it had been at the beginning, I sat down on the stool in Jiao'er's room.
"No wonder I haven't seen you come looking for me. I thought you'd forgotten about me." Jiao'er gave me a cutesy look and then asked, "Did the Sun and Moon Lord go to the mortal realm with you?"
"Yes." I nodded.
“I knew it. My father hasn’t been to court lately, and he said he hasn’t seen the Sun and Moon Lord since.” As she said this, a hint of gossipy excitement appeared on Man Jiao’er’s face. “I guessed it was you and the Sun and Moon Lord together as soon as I thought about it.
"Yes," I nodded. "Jiao'er, would you like to come with me to the mortal realm for a visit?"
"Can I go?" Man Jiao'er's eyes widened immediately.
"Of course, as long as you're willing."
"Of course I'd like to." Man Jiao'er's expression immediately became very excited.
"Then let's go to the mortal world together after You finishes her business. I'll take you around for a few days, and then you can come back." I couldn't hide my excitement when I saw that Jiao'er had agreed.
"Okay." Jiao'er nodded.
"Let's go out for a stroll." I haven't been to the Abyss in a long time, and I have to say I miss it a little.
"Okay," Jiao'er agreed, then looked at me as if she had something to say.
"What's wrong?"
"I..." Jiao'er looked up at me, her face flushed.
"What's wrong?" I looked at Jiao'er's unusually shy expression and a bad feeling welled up in my heart.
Could it be something between Jiao'er and Yuejiao?
I raised an eyebrow at Jiao'er and said, "You wouldn't be with Yuejiao again...?"
Man Jiao'er nodded gently, her voice tinged with shyness but mostly with fear, "Do you think it's not a good thing for me and Yue Jiao to be like this?"
I blinked. To me, as long as two people love each other, there's no such thing as good or bad.
Why is it not good?
Jiao'er twisted her fingers, "Have you forgotten about Yuejiao and our family?"
Now that Jiao'er said that, I remembered that Yuejiao and the Man family did not get along well.
But it doesn't matter to me. Romeo and Juliet's families were sworn enemies, yet they still created an epic love story.
"As long as you two truly love each other, there's nothing wrong with that. Maybe you two can even resolve the hatred."
By the way, the Man family and the Yue family aren't sworn enemies. I remember that Yue Jia hurt Man Jiao'er once before, and later, after successfully seizing power in the Yue family, he tried to force Man Jiao'er to marry him, which led to the later hatred.
“But…” Man Jiao’er sighed, “My father will definitely not agree.”
Old Man Man? I remember Man Jiao'er's father was a nice man, and he treated Jiao'er well.
“You should talk to your father properly, and I think he will agree.”
“My father has a strong prejudice against Yuejiao, as you have seen before.”
"Then what should we do? What do you and Yuejiao think?"
“Yuejiao said he was going to my house to propose marriage, and that if my father didn’t agree, he would keep pleading for me and he would never give up.” Manjiao’er said this with a little sadness. “When I asked him more, Yuejiao wouldn’t say more, he just told me not to worry.”
"Has Yuejiao met your father?"
“My father doesn’t even know this, so how could Yuejiao have ever met him?”
"Keeping this secret isn't a solution. Your father will find out eventually, and how long can you keep it a secret?"
Jiao'er sighed, "I know, but... but I have no choice. I really don't have the courage to tell my father this."
Seeing Jiao'er's melancholy expression, I wondered how I could help them.
I propped my head up and thought for a long time when suddenly a brilliant idea flashed in my mind. "That's it, Jiao'er, I've got an idea."
"What method?"
I smiled, but then felt that this move was a little underhanded.
"Oh, stop laughing, tell me quickly." Jiao'er took my hand and looked at me with her big eyes.
"I'm thinking of having You arrange a marriage between you and Yuejiao. What do you think? Or you could have Yuejiao go to You and ask for a decree to propose marriage. Even if your father doesn't want to do it, he can't do anything about it." I think if You issues this decree, Manjiao'er's father will definitely hate You to death. He might even risk his life to go to the palace to beg You to take it back.
"Is this okay?" Jiao'er asked with a hint of hesitation.
"It's possible, but I reckon your dad will hate You to death, hahaha." I'll go tell You, and she'll naturally agree.
I'm sure I'll attract a lot of hatred from the moment I step out!
"Yes, I think that given my father's personality, he would definitely insist on begging the Sun and Moon Lord to rescind the decree no matter what." Man Jiao'er sighed as she said this.
"That's why we need you now." I blinked at Jiao'er.
Jiao'er looked into my eyes and bit her lip tightly.
I composed myself, abandoning my playful demeanor, and asked seriously, "Are you sure you want to be with Yuejiao? If you are, I will definitely help you achieve your wish."
Man Jiao'er looked at my serious face with a firm gaze, "I'm sure."
Looking into Jiao'er's determined gaze, I understood that the bond between Yuejiao and Jiao'er was truly unbreakable; they were destined to be together.
Although I have no way of knowing what kind of love journey the two went through in the time I couldn't see, as Jiao'er's friend, I will definitely stand firmly by Jiao'er's side and help her.
"Now that you've made up your mind, I'll make sure you and Yuejiao are happy together." I looked at Jiao'er and smiled.
"Thank you." Jiao'er stepped forward and hugged me tightly, not letting go for a long time.
"What are you thanking me for? You've always helped me when I was down, so of course I'll help you now." I patted Jiao'er on the back.
Jiao'er held me without saying a word, and only let go of me after a long time. Her eyes were slightly red when she looked at me.
"I'll go back and tell You that I'll arrange a marriage for you two. This time, You will have to play the role of the bride." I rested my chin on my hand and explained my idea in detail.
"After Youci's marriage, it will be time for you to stay at home and persuade your father."
"I should persuade him?" Jiao'er pointed to herself, lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before she understood. "I understand. I'll tell my father that this is a marriage bestowed by the Sun and Moon Lord, and we cannot refuse. As the chief of the Man family, Father cannot only care for his daughter. There are hundreds of people in the Man family, big and small, who need Father's help, so we cannot disobey him."
“Yes, that’s right!” I patted Jiao’er on the shoulder. “Jiao’er is so smart, she understood what I meant right away.”
Jiao'er smiled shyly, "No."
"You'd better discuss this matter with Yuejiao. Once you're sure there are no problems, I'll have You bestow a marriage upon you."
"Okay, thank you so much, I don't know how to thank you enough."
"Let's not talk like that between us. By the way, let's go out for a walk today." I was still thinking about going out for a walk. It had been a long time since I had been to the Abyss, and I was starting to miss the food at Yongtai Pavilion.
