However, his happiness lasted only a short while before he frowned, looking troubled. His fiancée was too popular; what if his beloved Yu'er was stolen away if things continued like this?
But there are still six months until their wedding. Anything can happen in six months!
It wasn't that he lacked confidence in Chuanyu, but rather in himself. Chuanyu had been popular since childhood; every little boy wanted to play with her. He couldn't afford to take any risks!
I regret not setting the wedding date earlier!
Xu Wuyou called a major general to train him, while he went home to discuss with his parents whether they could move the wedding date forward.
After arriving home, Xu Wuyou went to her father's study first. The study door was closed and it was very quiet inside. She guessed that her father was probably reading military books, so she knocked on the door and said, "Father, I have something to discuss with you!"
Then I heard a commotion inside, and the sound of teacups being overturned. After a while, I heard someone say, "Come in!"
Xu Wuyou pushed open the door with suspicion and saw her father sitting at his desk, tidying up the books that had been soaked with tea.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Yunfei concealed his guilty conscience and asked Xu Wuyou casually. Xu Wuyou glanced at the corner of a book that was exposed under the desk and his brow twitched because the exposed corner had words such as "powerful minister" and "chasing his wife".
His father was reading those novels about domineering ministers chasing after their wives in a tragic way.
Xu Wuyou suddenly remembered what he had heard from Chuanwen: his father thought there was an earthquake, and carried Prime Minister Zhang for two miles before remembering his wife and children at home. As if possessed, he asked, "Father, you and Prime Minister Zhang...?"
Before he could finish speaking, he realized he couldn't bring himself to ask the question. Meeting his father's innocent and confused gaze, he sighed and decided to put it aside for now. He changed the subject and said, "Father, I'd like to move up the wedding date between Yu'er and me. What do you think?"
Xu Yunfei was taken aback and asked, "Ahead of schedule? Why earlier?"
They had seized the initiative and prepared defenses and counterattacks before the Western Regions launched their attack on the Great Jin. In addition, the emperor had placed the Western Regions prince as a pawn, and the Western Regions had already submitted to the Great Jin.
Although a few forces were not completely wiped out and occasionally caused trouble, the new weapons manufactured by the production battalion were tested on those forces, and the results were quite good. Those forces were either scattered by them or fled to more distant places because they were afraid of their weapons.
The Western Regions have been peaceful for a long time, the Southern Liang Kingdom has been subdued by Su Heng, and the North is protected by an icy river, making it a place with few rebels.
The emperor probably won't send them out of the capital anytime soon, so what is his son worried about?
Xu Yunfei was a little confused, and Xu Wuyou didn't intend to explain further, so he said, "Settling down and starting a family is the only way I can be single-minded and at the beck and call of the court at any time."
Xu Wuyou spoke with righteous indignation, and Xu Yunfei thought: ...I would believe you if you weren't my son.
Xu Yunfei thought of how there were always clueless guys sending flowers and love letters to Chuanyu, and then glanced at his son. Was his son afraid that his wife would run away?
Well, no matter what, it's never a bad thing for my son to get married early.
Xu Yunfei put the books that had been soaked with tea aside to air them out, and said, "I'll call your mother, and we'll go to the Marquis of Changxing's residence this afternoon."
"Since we're going anyway, we might as well go sooner rather than later."
Xu Wuyou suggested, his face calm and composed, showing no sign of his inner anxiety.
However, Xu Yunfei is his father after all, and he knows his son's temperament quite well. His son is getting anxious!
Xu Yunfei sighed. Children are all debts from past lives. He was just at the crucial part of his storybook, where the pregnant heroine and the male lead reunited. Honestly, he wasn't even allowed to finish reading it!
Forget it! Going early means we can come back early and continue watching!
Xu Yunfei had no choice but to leave with his son, and then went to the Changxing Marquis's residence with his wife.
The three arrived at the Changxing Marquis's residence with gifts of various sizes. They were respectfully invited to the living room, while servants went to the backyard and study to inform the Changxing Marquis and Chuanhai.
While they were waiting, they unexpectedly heard a voice: "What kind of 'throwing yourself into someone's arms'? It's basically a one-stop shop of pinning them down, kissing, and pulling off their clothes!"
Madam Xu's hand trembled as she put down the teacup, almost causing it to fall.
Because of her husband's and sons' military achievements, she was granted an imperial title, so she could hear Chuanwen's inner thoughts, but Chuanwen's inner thoughts... were too bold, weren't they?
Xu Wuyou and Xu Yunfei were also stunned. Could it be that the person she was talking about throwing herself into someone's arms was not herself?
After thinking about it carefully, those were indeed things she was capable of doing!
However, the group turned their heads but didn't see Chuanwen. Where was she? And who was she talking to?
The three of them stood up and looked around. There were only the three of them and a few maids in the living room; there was no one else there.
The maids were very curious about the three men's behavior. What were these three distinguished guests looking for?
Although puzzled, the distinguished guests did not ask, so they stood obediently at their posts.
Soon, the three of them saw Chuanwen and Xu Yan in the corridor not far away outside the door.
The two sat in the corridor, each with one leg crossed on a bench and the other dangling, eating snacks and talking. Wen Xue, who was not participating in the conversation, was also enjoying her pastries.
Because they were quite far apart and were speaking in hushed tones, the other women couldn't hear their conversation, but could hear Chuanwen's inner thoughts.
"That can't be right, the Su family doesn't seem to have this problem, does they?"
