Chapter 309 The Unwelcome Prince Yi
"Greetings, old marquis! Fourth brother!"
Murong Yi was the first to pay his respects to the old marquis as a junior.
The old marquis waved his hand and said, "Prince Yi, there is no need to be so polite. It is I who should greet you."
Murong Li just nodded at him indifferently.
Murong Yi's heart sank, knowing that he would not be welcomed when he came to Anding Hou, and it turned out to be true.
But he was not angry, let alone upset. Didn’t he see that Murong Li’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot?
As long as he sees him unhappy, he will be happy.
As expected, the old marquis returned the greeting with Murong Yi. Murong Yi quickly stepped forward to support the old marquis, "Old marquis, there is no need to be so polite. This prince and Xue'er are already engaged, and we should be a family. From now on, no one in the Anding Marquisate will need to be so polite to this prince. Just treat him like you treat Fourth Brother."
"Come here, move the things into the mansion."
After Murong Yi finished speaking, without allowing the old marquis to speak, he told the people accompanying him to carry the boxes into the mansion.
The servants of Prince Yi's Mansion were about to carry boxes of things into the mansion, but they were stopped by the old marquis: "Prince Yi, it's not time to propose yet. Prince Yi is sending so many things. The Anding Marquis Mansion can't afford it."
Murong Yi's expression remained unchanged as he said sincerely, "Old Marquis, these are for Xue'er. I'm here to apologize to Xue'er."
Murong Li narrowed his eyes. Murong Yi's patience was truly remarkable. Even the old marquis had refused him, yet he wasn't angry at all.
After not seeing him for a few days, he has become even more thick-skinned.
The old marquis waved his hand and said, "Prince Yi is wrong. What's the point of apologizing? Luckily, there are no outsiders here. If they heard this, they would think that Xue'er was killed by you. You are the victim and you saved Xue'er. It should be our mansion's gratitude to Prince Yi. We dare not accept these things. Please take them back."
"This? Old Marquis, these are all for Xue'er to calm her down. If she got scared today, it's my fault. The things have been delivered. If Xue'er doesn't like these things, just throw them away."
Murong Yi was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Why did this old man speak so irritatingly? He even refused to accept the things he had.
But he couldn't get angry, so he could only pretend to be embarrassed and change his words.
He was cruel enough to say such words. The things he sent today were priceless. He did this just to get the Marquis' Mansion to support him in the future in consideration of not making things difficult for him over these things.
She also didn't believe that Su Xue really threw these things away. There is no woman in the world who doesn't love gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin.
The old marquis also witnessed Murong Yi's shamelessness today. Even in this state, he was still bringing up Xue girl. If it weren't for the fact that he was the emperor's son, he would have died long ago if he had bullied his granddaughter like this.
And let him be here to cause trouble for him.
But if he didn't accept his things today, he was afraid that it would never end. Moreover, this was at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, so he didn't argue with him. He said, "Then leave it in the mansion for the time being. I will make a decision when Xue'er wakes up."
Murong Yi then became happy and asked his servants to carry the things in. The boxes looked quite heavy and he didn't know what they contained, but the old marquis didn't care.
It took a long time before the move was completed. After that, the old marquis invited Murong Yi into the house. The three of them came to the living room, and the old marquis immediately had tea served.
Murong Yi took a sip of tea and frowned. The taste of this tea is hard to describe.
He glanced at Murong Li and saw that he looked calm, as if this tea was really good. He couldn't help but suspect that the old marquis did it on purpose.
The old marquis did it on purpose. He bullied his granddaughter and expected him to treat her with good tea and a nice attitude. He was overthinking it.
Murong Yi couldn't swallow the tea in his mouth, nor could he spit it out. Finally, he closed his eyes and swallowed it.
He looked around the marquis's mansion. The furnishings were very simple, better than those of an ordinary farmhouse. After all, the Su family had just returned to Beijing, and their property had been ransacked before, so even if they had good things, they couldn't put them back.
After looking around, he asked the old marquis, "Old marquis, can I go see Xue'er?"
The old marquis's face fell, and he said indifferently: "Miss Yue is there, and Miss Xue is emotionally unstable right now. Prince Yi should not meet her."
He still has the nerve to see Xue'er. What the hell is he thinking? When she feels better, if she doesn't want to get married, he will go and beg the emperor to grant the marriage even if he risks his life.
It's a disgusting thing just by looking at it. Xue'er wasn't used as a bargaining chip when she married into the family. It's easy to imagine that the Marquis of Anding's Mansion and the Prince of Li's Mansion are tied together.
He thought that if he used this method to stabilize the Marquis's Mansion, they would turn around and follow him.
What a wild idea.
Murong Yi smiled awkwardly: "Is that so? Then the king will come to see Xue'er this time. I hope Xue'er can forgive me."
Murong Li glanced at him and said quietly, "Fifth brother, you keep asking Xue'er to forgive you and make amends. Did you do this yourself?"
Murong Yi's face darkened. "Fourth brother, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I, the fifth brother, am also a victim. But this has hurt Xue'er. She's a girl. Can't I, a grown man, apologize?"
Murong Li said with a half-smile, "Of course, Fifth Brother, please don't say something that seems to be true but is not. It will cause people to misunderstand you."
The old marquis also said: "Yes, Prince Yi said this, I almost thought Prince Yi was the thief crying thief. I will come to thank you in person someday."
Murong Yi...
He felt that he should not have come here today to suffer this kind of humiliation. Look at what the guy said. It was enough to make someone mad enough to die.
Although he is a bit of a thief crying "stop thief", he shouldn't say it so bluntly.
Murong Yi regretted it. He felt that this old marquis wanted to gain the support of the Marquis of Anding's Mansion and steal Murong Li's girlfriend, but this tactic was not feasible.
However, he felt a little more balanced in his heart, as he could marry Su Xue to get along with some people.
He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, why would the old marquis come in person? I will come in person after the two Lords Su return."
This time he no longer dared to say words like apology.
The old marquis didn't want to waste time on him, so he just said casually, "Since Prince Yi insists on doing this, I can't force him, so I'd better obey your command respectfully."
This old guy seems to feel uncomfortable if he is not harmed.
Murong Yi forced a smile: "Haha, old marquis is always so modest, making this prince embarrassed. This prince is also your grandson-in-law, you should treat me the same as your fourth brother."
The old marquis snorted in his heart. He hadn't even become the grandson-in-law of the Su family, and yet he dared to provoke Murong Li. What a wishful thinking! He said solemnly, "I dare not. Every family has its own rules, and every country has its own laws. Without rules, there will be no order. I dare not overstep the boundaries."
The old man is really a stubborn old thing.
Murong Yi was so angry that he almost fell over. He gritted his teeth and cursed the old marquis in his heart for being ungrateful.
When he becomes the emperor, the first person he will attack will be the Su family.
