Chapter 183 Her reaction is hurtful
Shangguan Lan watched them leave and said, "Little sister, the private room is inside, let's go over there." She sighed and walked towards the private room.
The brother and sister entered the room, ordered the dishes, and the waiter left.
"Brother, who were those two people just now?" Yun Wansheng asked casually.
"One of them is the recent dean of the Liang Family Academy, Liang Wenyu. Another is Helang Ge, a fifth-rank official in the imperial court. The other is Gu Feicheng, currently a second-rank governor.
"The three of them and the Prince Regent have been good friends since childhood, and people respectfully call them the Four Friends of the Capital," Shangguan Lan said simply.
"I can see that they have a good relationship. I know Gu Feicheng, but I didn't expect that he also returned to the capital." Yun Wansheng smiled.
"Yes! Those who worked diligently under the Regent were promoted by him, either overtly or covertly."
"He's been very kind to you, and it's worth your help. Well, let's not talk about them anymore. After dinner, we'll take a walk around and then go back home."
"good!"
On the other side, Mu Xingci and Gu Feicheng were riding in the same carriage, while the carriages of the other two friends followed behind them, which made it convenient for Gu Feicheng to ask questions.
"Xingci, haven't you always wanted to find that woman? Now that she appears, why do you seem unhappy?"
Ever since that woman left Qizhou City without saying goodbye, Mu Xingci had been deeply regretful and had been drunk for several days. How could he be so nonchalant now that he saw her right in front of him?
"Feicheng, there's one thing I don't think I've told you yet." Mu Xingci leaned lazily on the low couch and said lightly.
"What's the matter?" Gu Feicheng asked instinctively.
"Actually, I didn't go to Yufeng City last time. I went to Jinxi City. I didn't go there specifically for the Yan tribe's affairs, but I knew that woman was in Jinxi City."
"So you went to that place specifically to find her?"
"Well! Unfortunately, after several years, she still hates me and refuses to follow me back to the capital. Even though I agreed to marry her, she still refuses to forgive me.
You just saw it, we met like strangers. I think if her eldest brother wasn't getting married, she wouldn't have come to the capital. This is good, I won't be thinking about her anymore." Mu Xingci's eyes flashed with frost.
That woman's reaction just now was so hurtful. Did he really deserve her hatred? After all, they had a life like husband and wife. How could she treat him so cruelly? Even if she had greeted him like a friend, he wouldn't have been so heartbroken.
After returning home, Yun Wansheng was so tired that she went to bed to rest. However, she could not fall asleep. The person in her mind kept following her, making her feel uneasy for a long time.
That night, the cold wind blew for half the night and only stopped at dawn.
When the sunlight shone into the room, Yun Wansheng slowly woke up. After a moment of silence, she got up.
As soon as the door opened, two maids helped her wash and dress.
"Miss, would you like to wear a new dress today?" Alan opened the wardrobe and asked for her opinion.
Upon hearing this, Yun Wansheng remembered what happened yesterday afternoon. Shangguan Lan forced her to go to the clothing store to buy some new dresses.
"Okay! Just wear the purple one!" After all, she is the general's sister, and this is the capital. If she dresses too simply, it will embarrass Shangguan Lan.
After she was dressed neatly, the two maids praised her in unison: "Miss, you look so beautiful in this dress."
"Miss, this dress suits your skin tone and temperament very well. Combined with the makeup we did for you, you look even more beautiful." Ah Xi said again with eyes full of admiration.
"Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. This saying has always been true." Yun Wansheng smiled with her red lips slightly curved.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she didn't expect that the dress would look so gorgeous and beautiful on her.
With the addition of the gold hairpins, tassels, flower hairpins and earrings on her head, her beautiful face was even more gorgeous and eye-catching, which made her sigh that the money was not wasted, as this outfit cost several hundred taels!
Yesterday Shangguan Lan bought her five sets of gorgeous dresses, which cost more than one thousand taels when he checked out, but he didn't seem to feel bad about spending the money and just paid the bill.
Then he went to a jewelry store and bought her a lot of things, making her feel that it was great to have a brother who loved her.
Just as she was enjoying herself, a maid's voice came from outside: "Miss, the general wants you to come over for breakfast."
"Coming!" Yun Wansheng responded and walked out of the room.
When the maid saw her suddenly, her eyes were full of envy: "Miss, you are so beautiful today!"
"Thank you for the compliment! Let's go!" Yun Wansheng said in a friendly manner and went to the main courtyard next door.
At this time, Shangguan Lan was sitting in the dining room waiting for people. The rice porridge had been placed on the table, but other hot food had not yet been served.
As he was waiting patiently, he suddenly saw a woman who was so beautiful that it made his eyes light up walked in. He couldn't tell who she was at first glance.
But then he saw clearly who it was, and something in his heart jumped.
"Little sister, you look very beautiful in this outfit today!" Shangguan Lan suppressed the excitement in his heart and praised with a gentle expression.
He didn't know why, but ever since he knew that Yun Wansheng was his sister, he had never been able to feel any affection for her. He always felt that she was not his real sister.
But he also knew very well that the two of them were destined to be brother and sister. If he didn't control himself and destroyed this relationship, they would no longer be brother and sister.
Yun Wansheng didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing him praising her, she couldn't help but smile happily: "Of course, this is what my big brother bought for me, how can it not be beautiful!"
"It's enough to know that I love you. Qingcao, let someone serve the food!" Shangguan Lan said with a smile.
When the food was served, the two of them ate in silence, as was their habit.
Just as they finished eating and rinsed their mouths, Butler Chen walked in: "General, Miss Qiao is here."
"Why is she here?" Shangguan Lan's eyes flashed with displeasure.
"She said she had something to tell you, what do you think?"
Shangguan Lanwei thought for a moment and said, "Let her in!" Now that she was here, how could he chase her away?
"Is my future sister-in-law here?" Yun Wansheng asked with some anticipation.
"Yeah! Maybe it's for tomorrow."
"You haven't made an appointment yet?"
"No, I was planning to have someone send her a letter this afternoon, but she came to my house instead."
"It seems that Qiao Xue likes you very much. And indeed, you are a handsome man, brother. How many women would not like you when they see you?"
It's a pity that you are a little old. If you were younger, I think you would definitely attract a lot of peach blossoms."
Yun Wansheng's mixture of praise and criticism made Shangguan Lan laugh and cry: "Little sister, am I that old?" As he said this, he touched his cheek unconfidently.
