Feng Guang was a little stunned when she heard Xie Zhan's expectant tone. She originally thought that someone like him would not make such a joke, and the most likely thing he would do was to tell her not to talk nonsense.
Seeing that she wasn't saying anything, Xie Zhan patted her head again, "What are you daydreaming about, little girl?"
"I heard... that the young marquis has some business to attend to recently, so he won't be visiting the Xie residence." Feng Guang didn't know why she suddenly brought up Luo Yuanzhi. She heard the news about Luo Yuanzhi not coming from her father while they were eating. The Dingguo Mansion sent someone with an invitation, saying that Luo Yuanzhi had some business to attend to recently, and his visit to the Xie residence would probably have to be postponed for a few months.
Feng Guang was indeed somewhat surprised that Luo Yuanzhi didn't come, but she was happy that he wasn't there, as it saved her the trouble of putting on a smiling face and talking to him.
Xie Zhan asked, "Does Feng Guang want to see the young marquis?"
"Of course not!" she quickly waved her hand. "I'd love for him not to come looking for me."
"Why is that?" Xie Zhan asked, amused. "Isn't the young marquis your fiancé?"
"He's just my fiancé. I've never even met him. Just thinking about marrying him gives me a headache."
"Fengguang doesn't want to marry the young marquis?"
"No." She shook her head decisively.
Xie Zhan asked again, "Why?"
“I don’t like him, so of course I don’t want to marry him.”
Xie Zhan said, "Feng Guang has already said that you have never met him. The young marquis is a dashing and romantic figure in the capital, and he is also an outstanding person among the younger generation. If Feng Guang met the young marquis, she might change her mind about not wanting to marry him."
"Absolutely impossible!" Feng Guang's expression hardened. "No matter how popular he is with countless girls, even if he stood naked in front of me, I would have absolutely no feelings for him."
"What are you saying?" Xie Zhan chuckled. "How can you, a girl, speak so recklessly?"
"Third Uncle, you're a man, but you don't speak so recklessly."
“Alright, we can skip this topic.” He shook his head and said helplessly, “Three days from now, an envoy from the Xi Chiefdom will be coming. A palace banquet will be held, and all the civil and military officials will bring their families. I bet you and your sister-in-law will be there too. You can’t be so outspoken then.”
She immediately frowned. "Can't I just not go?"
"I doubt it." He chuckled softly. "Today at the temple, Her Majesty the Empress has already remembered Feng Guang's name. Moreover, the envoy from the Xi Chiefdom said he brought their most beautiful woman. Feng Guang, do you think Her Majesty would refuse to let you go?"
"You mean... you're afraid of embarrassing our country, so you want to drag me along to save face?"
He laughed, “That’s true.”
She crossed her arms and smiled smugly, "So you admit that I'm very pretty, right?"
He smiled and said, "Not bad."
"Appearances are superficial." If she had a tail, it would probably be wagging its tail to the sky. "What's important is inner qualities, of course. Besides, some people are not only good-looking but also very knowledgeable. Moreover, such a person is a woman. So, Uncle, don't you think it would be better to find another niece of yours?"
"Of course, Er Yatou will go too."
Feng Guang's face immediately darkened. Without saying a word, she turned and left.
