So at the dinner organized by Murong Shu in the evening, several men from Anping Marquis's Mansion were present. Yueyue saw her father and second uncle's eyes were red with grievance, and Shu Shi and Shu Yan felt distressed.
Marquis Anping even glared at his son and nephew. Why were they messing with his precious granddaughter? They both deserved to be punished. His granddaughter could marry whoever she wanted. Look at what they are capable of.
Now the two of them really reacted and realized that Marquis Anping was not holding back on any big moves, and he really agreed. It turned out that they were the only two who were "opposed".
After realizing this, the two of them became more friendly towards Yueyue, fearing that Yueyue would be angry with them.
Shu Yan came up to Yueyue and coaxed her, "Second Uncle's Yueyue will marry whoever she likes, as long as Yueyue comes back to stay with her more often every year." This was the biggest concession Shu Yan could make.
"Yes, father's Yueyue can marry no one, even the prince." Shu Shi was just making an analogy, but Yueyue took it seriously.
"Yueyue doesn't want to marry the prince. Yueyue only wants to marry Senior Brother. Daddy really doesn't love Yueyue anymore as my younger brother said. He wants to separate Yueyue and Senior Brother."
The little girl was about to cry, feeling that her loving father had betrayed her, just as her brothers had said.
Shu Shi was dumbfounded. When did he want to break up Yueyue and the senior brother? Shu Shi couldn't explain it now.
Everyone looked at Shu Shi reproachfully. Shu Shi just heard his younger brothers, and then thought of his nephews. In the past, Shu Shi felt that children just needed to be spoiled, but now that he had been cheated, he decided to make them learn the family rules when he returned.
"Yueyue, you misunderstood. Daddy didn't object. It was my brothers who said those things." Shu Shi hurried to coax his daughter.
"Dad, are you serious?" Yueyue asked in surprise.
"Of course, Yueyue can marry whoever she wants to marry. Daddy has no objection. It's your brothers who misheard. Daddy will explain it to them when we get back."
The first half of Shu Shi's sentence was gentle, but the second half was somewhat harsh. Shu Yan couldn't help but observe a moment of silence for his two sons, but when he thought about how they had spread the rumor, Shu Yan felt that they deserved to be punished.
Seeing that her second uncle and father had no objection, Yueyue took her eldest brother's arm and smiled brightly.
Shu Shi thought that at worst he could go to Tianmen Mountain to retire, so that he could be closer to his precious daughter.
The misunderstanding was resolved, and the group of people were finally able to sit down to eat, reminisce, and discuss the engagement.
After three rounds of drinks, Shu Shi proposed that he wanted to live in Tianmen Mountain in his old age. The eldest senior brother looked at the third senior uncle with some embarrassment.
"Mr. Pei, don't you want to? Yueyue is my only daughter. How can Rong'er and I bear to leave her alone? We just want to be closer to our daughter. We don't need a betrothal gift. We just want to live in Tianmen Mountain in our old age."
Shu Shi was persuaded by Mousse to drink a little too much, but he was not drunk and was still very sober. He made these requests only under the pretext of being drunk.
Murong Shu looked at his eldest senior brother and third uncle, then at Marquis Anping. It was obvious that Shu Shi didn't know that Yueyue was not marrying far away.
The Third Uncle smiled and said, "Master Shu, I agree to this request on behalf of Tianmen Mountain."
Shu Shi was very happy when he heard that he could go to Tianmen Mountain to retire, but Yueyue's next words made Shu Shi dumbfounded.
"Dad, can you please leave mom to Yueyue? Otherwise, Yueyue will miss mom."
Yueyue thought that her father was recuperating in Tianmen Mountain before and liked the place very much, so she wanted to live there in her old age.
"No, my dear daughter, you don't have to marry to Tianmen Mountain?" This time it was Shu Shi's turn to be surprised.
"Senior sister has already bought a house for my senior brother and I to live in after our wedding. After we get married, my senior brother and I will live opposite the Wen Mansion! Yueyue was also very surprised. Dad didn't even know about this.
"Yueyue, are you telling the truth?" Shu Shi was half sober.
"Shu Shi, you don't know that Shu'er has already decorated the house, and you don't care about Yueyue at all." Mousse felt that Shu Shi had been making a fuss for a long time, but in the end he didn't understand the situation clearly.
"But no one told me?" Shu Shi felt even more aggrieved. Really no one told him. If that was the case, he would agree with it wholeheartedly.
"Daddy is lying. Grandfather, grandmother, mother and second aunt all know about it. How could Daddy not know?" Yueyue felt that Shu Shi was lying.
Shu Shi looked at Anping Hou in disbelief, wanting him to speak for him, but Anping Hou added, "Shi'er, I think you missed it."
"Yueyue will forgive Daddy this time. Next time, Daddy must not hear it wrong." Yueyue decided to forgive Daddy after hearing her grandfather say that Daddy might have missed it.
Shu Shi was originally still depressed, but when he heard that his daughter had forgiven him, his mood instantly improved. As long as his daughter didn't blame him, he was glad, and she didn't have to marry far away, so Shu Shi thought it was better to get engaged.
The misunderstanding was resolved and everyone was happy. The eldest brother toasted Shu Yan, Shu Shi, Wen Jing, Anping Hou, and Mousse with a glass of wine. The banquet ended with everyone's satisfaction.
When Shu Yan returned to the mansion, he ran to the Second Madam and asked her with great grievance, "Madam, why didn't you tell me earlier that Yueyue would live in the capital after we got married?"
"I thought my husband knew. After all, Lian Cheng'er and Nian'er both knew it." The Second Madam's words left Shu Yan speechless. Shu Yan felt bitter, but he had no place to speak.
So Shu Yan went to his youngest son's yard to teach him. The second wife didn't bother to pay attention to him and went to bed first.
Shu Shi cried for half the night while hugging his wife because he was drunk. He talked about how he and Yan Rong were childhood sweethearts and their daughter's engagement. Yan Rong, a pregnant woman, couldn't stand his noise, so she asked his personal servant to take care of him and went to the study to rest.
Yueyue was very happy after taking care of her father and second uncle. On the way back, she walked back hand in hand with her eldest senior brother. After all, the two of them were so good at martial arts that they could fly back when they were tired.
"Senior Brother, Yueyue is very happy!" In the little girl's heart, her Senior Brother is the best. Except for her senior sister, no one can say a bad word about her Senior Brother.
"Yueyue, senior brother is also very happy. I can finally stand beside Yueyue with full legitimacy." The eldest senior brother was also very happy today. His little girl was finally his.
"Big Brother, let's celebrate. Yueyue wants a kiss." The little girl wanted to kiss to celebrate, but was stopped by the big brother. "Yueyue, we are on the street, no kissing!"
Yueyue nodded as if she understood and asked, "Does that mean we can kiss each other not on the street?"
The eldest brother neither nodded nor shook his head, and explained to the little girl, "You can only kiss when you are two people."
Now Yueyue understood immediately, and flew directly back to Pei Mansion with her senior brother. Back home, they were just the two of them, and they could kiss each other.
Before the eldest brother could react, he was carried into the air by the little girl. He smiled dotingly, then picked up the little girl by the waist and flew towards Pei Mansion.
