Chapter 320 My brother's road to winning back his wife is long and arduous.
He couldn't see very clearly through the screen, but he could still see that the girl was smiling very happily, and his gaze was fixed on the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Xie Yunchuan's hand involuntarily tightened around the cup.
The Li family and the Lu family are going to discuss marriage. Lu Yixue seems willing, even very enthusiastic. What about her?
Li Manyan laughed so hard her shoulders shook, having a great time with Sheng Sheng and Xie Yunjia beside her.
Little did she know that her cheerful demeanor sank a person's heart, filling their chest with bitterness.
Xie Yunchuan's throat was dry. She was smiling so happily, could it be that she was willing too?
...
The performance of "Spring River Flower Moon Night" captivated all the guests, especially the girls, who were mesmerized simply by looking at Lu Yixue.
"Spring River Flower Moon Night" is divided into two volumes. Just as the first volume was coming to an end, Lin Xin suddenly cried out and hurriedly said to Lu Yixue, "Brother Lu, um, um, I don't know if I ate something wrong at noon today, but my stomach suddenly hurts a lot. I'm going to the bathroom first. You can finish playing the second volume by yourself!"
After saying that, Lin Xin ran away as fast as lightning, ignoring Lu Yixue's reaction.
Lu Yixue, who continued playing the flute calmly without stopping, was speechless.
Questions arose from all sides.
"What's going on? Why did the peacock that was playing the zither run away?"
"I don't know, it seems like my stomach hurts."
"I'm dying of laughter. Lin Xin was playing the piano when his stomach suddenly started hurting. I'm going to go back and tell my brother about this. He'll regret not coming to the Spring Banquet today, hahaha."
With Lin Xin's departure, the music of the zither ceased, leaving only the sound of the xiao (vertical flute).
Although "Spring River Flower Moon Night" can be played on its own using only the xiao (vertical bamboo flute), it was just a duet, so the sound of the xiao alone sounds somewhat desolate now.
Madam Li suddenly said to Li Manyan, "Yan'er, don't you also know how to play 'Spring River Flower Moon Night'? Why don't you go up and save the day?"
Li Manyan frowned, somewhat bewildered: "Huh?"
Madam Li pulled her up, half-pushing and half-persuading, "Young Master Lu, it's so awkward for you to be there alone. Today we are the hosts, of course we should take good care of our guests. Listen to me, go quickly."
Xie Yunchuan happened to see this scene, and he pinched his brow in annoyance, then silently drank a glass of wine.
Li Manyan sensed that Madam Li's attitude was off, and remembering the recent rumors circulating in the mansion about arranging a marriage for her, Li Manyan became even more unwilling, saying with difficulty, "Mother, this is not appropriate..."
"Oh, is there something wrong with it?"
Madam Li wanted to say more, but was interrupted by a voice.
"I will go."
Xie Yunjia suddenly stood up, pulled Li Manyan back a little, gave her a look, and whispered, "It's okay, you don't have to go if you don't want to."
Li Manyan's eyes flickered with emotion: "But, Princess, you..."
"It's alright, didn't I already promise to play the piano for you?" Xie Yunjia said nonchalantly. "Besides, there's only half left of 'Spring River Flower Moon Night.' I can both save the day and quickly fulfill my promise to you. Isn't that a win-win situation?"
Actually, it's a win-win-win situation; it can also help Li Manyan avoid doing something she doesn't want to do.
Madam Li was stunned: "Huh? This..."
"Alright, that's settled then."
After saying that, Xie Yunjia walked down the steps and headed towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Shouts rang out from behind: "Wow, Royal Sister is so powerful! Royal Sister is so cool!"
"Why……"
The only one who was somewhat troubled by this was Madam Li, but she couldn't stop the princess because of her own selfish thoughts, especially since Xie Yunjia had already stepped forward on her own.
Li Manyan breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed her smile, and said to Madam Li with a hint of regret, "Mother, since that's the case, let's just focus on being listeners."
Madam Li sighed, "Alas, what a pity."
Madam Li left somewhat disappointed. Li Manyan and Shengsheng exchanged a glance and then burst out laughing.
Sheng Sheng asked her curiously, "Sister Yan Yan, why does it seem like Madam Li really wants you to go up and play the zither?"
"To be honest, it seems my family is discussing arranging a marriage for me recently." Li Manyan frowned and sighed. "Now it seems to be true, and the person my mother likes... is most likely this Young Master Lu."
"Huh?" Sheng Sheng was startled and turned to look at the outstanding young master Lu.
What, marriage proposals?
Sister Yan Yan and Lu Yixue?
no!
If Sister Yan Yan goes on to marry Young Master Lu, what will happen to her brother?
Xiao Shengsheng, who was deeply worried about her brother and sister-in-law's love life, clenched her fists silently.
She can't afford any unexpected events to happen with this couple she's rooting for.
She gave just as much as anyone else in this relationship!
Sheng Sheng slammed her hand on the table and stood up instantly, shouting, "No way!"
Li Manyan was stunned by her sudden reaction. Why was the second princess's reaction even stronger than hers?
Sheng Sheng blinked and chuckled, "Uh, Sister Yan Yan, I was just thinking, Sister Yan Yan didn't seem willing to go up and play with Young Master Lu as Madam Li wished. Does that mean that you don't actually like Young Master Lu?"
"Sheng Sheng, what are you talking about?" Li Manyan smiled and patted Sheng Sheng's head. "Because my mother and Madam Lu are close friends, I've known Young Master Lu for a long time. However, although I've known Young Master Lu for a long time, we're just friends, nothing more. Young Master Lu is a man of refined character, and I can't say I don't like him, but it's just that Young Master Lu and I only have the kind of liking that friends have for each other."
"Ah, Sheng Sheng understands." Sheng Sheng laughed happily, "In short, it's that Sister Yan Yan doesn't have romantic feelings for Young Master Lu, hehehe."
"Yes, you could say that." Li Manyan nodded. "Wouldn't it be awkward if Liang Guiren, who was originally a friend, suddenly became that kind of person because of an arranged marriage?"
"Awkward, awkward, how could I not be awkward?" Sheng Sheng nodded repeatedly.
That's good, that's good. It's good that Sister Yan doesn't like Young Master Lu!
Sheng Sheng breathed a huge sigh of relief, and the alarm bells that had just been ringing in her mind instantly went silent.
As long as Sister Yan Yan isn't interested in him, Brother still has a chance!
I wonder if Young Master Lu has any feelings for Sister Yan Yan. Young Master Lu, who doesn't like attending banquets, is willing to perform the flute on such an occasion. I wonder if this means that Young Master Lu made this move for Sister Yan Yan.
Well, that's hard to say.
But it doesn't matter, as long as Sister Yan Yan has no feelings for him, everything is fine.
The most difficult thing would be if Sister Yan Yan didn't object to this marriage.
Hmph, that brother of mine is such a brooding weirdo. He doesn't know how to make the most of his time. All he does is run around doing errands or practicing martial arts. If he keeps relaxing like this, his sister-in-law will be snatched away!
However, this is ultimately a matter between the two of them, and aside from occasionally offering assistance, Sheng Sheng shouldn't interfere too much.
It's alright, it's alright. My brother is so handsome and outstanding, he's no less than Young Master Lu.
It's just that Sister Yan Yan is also very outstanding. Even without Young Master Lu, there are probably many other people waiting for her.
Given Xie Yunchuan's slow and insidious approach, it's going to be tough.
My brother's journey to win back his wife is long and arduous.
He sighed repeatedly, calmed himself down, and then happily continued watching the play.
