Chapter 97 He's Grown Love-Obsessed
To everyone's surprise, Xie Yunman said calmly, "This matter is left to my grandfather to decide."
Xie Yunyu looked at Xie Yunman in surprise.
Did he get brain damage from being kidnapped during his wedding today?
"I have already agreed to your request. You can decide your own marriage. Now, tell me your thoughts," Old Master Xie continued.
Xie Yunman stood up, cleared his throat, and said:
"I am really tired today and would like to go and rest."
Let Father and Grandfather decide this matter.
After speaking, he bowed and prepared to leave.
Wu Yumin suddenly spoke up: "Second Brother, Yu'er and I are going to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion tomorrow. Do you have any words to say to Lady Xue Jiu?"
We'll pass on a message for you.
Xie Yunman paused slightly upon hearing this, and said without turning her head, "No."
But Xie Yunyu noticed with her sharp eyes that Xie Yunman's ears suddenly turned red.
I suddenly understood.
It's not that I've damaged my brain, it's that I've developed a love-struck brain.
Then she laughed as she watched his retreating figure.
Inside the room, Zheng and Xie Yuanshan looked at each other in bewilderment.
What does he mean by that?
Xie Yuntang did not enter the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion; he returned with the three of them.
So they had no idea what was going on inside and were completely bewildered.
Xie Yunyu laughed: "Mother, congratulations on getting a good in-law from the Duke of Zhenguo's family."
Madam Zheng glared at Xie Yunyu: "Stop making things worse. Let's talk about your second brother's matter first. What does he mean by this?"
Grand Tutor Xie stood up, took a step forward, and said:
“Yu’er is right. Let’s wait for the Duke of Zhenguo’s mansion to come knocking.”
Madam Zheng was stunned for a moment: "This...this...don't we need to ask Man'er's opinion again?"
Xie Yuanshan understood, got up, and pulled Zheng Shi out:
"That's what Man'er meant."
"But he didn't say anything!"
Zheng did not understand.
"Don't you know your son? If he doesn't like Ninth Sister Xue, he will definitely say so directly."
"If they don't say anything now, that means they agree."
"Ah, this...this...how could Man'er have fallen for her, someone who wields swords and spears..."
Besides, the two of them hadn't interacted before, had they?
Xie Yuanshan sighed and said, "On the Lantern Festival, Man'er was attacked on the street, and it was Lady Xue who saved him."
Upon hearing this, Zheng fell silent and followed Xie Yuanshan back home.
Wu Yumin, standing nearby, teased with sparkling eyes:
"Who would have thought that the two of them would have such a predestined relationship?"
I have a feeling there's something else going on between them. I'll go see Weiyang tomorrow and get her to explain it to me in detail.
Xie Yunyu laughed along with her.
A fierce fire of gossip ignited between them as they exchanged glances.
At the Duke of Zhenguo's residence, Xue Weiyang was delighted to hear from the Duke that Old Master Xie had asked her to discuss marriage in a few days.
But halfway through his joy, his face fell again, and he looked at Xue Zhan and asked:
"Third Brother, do you think His Majesty will issue an edict?"
Xue Zhan thought for a moment and replied, "Probably not."
Xue Weiyang's eyes sparkled as she pressed on, "Why?"
"We've made a big fuss about this today, so His Majesty won't forcefully issue an edict to break up this marriage."
Otherwise, if we set a bad precedent, everyone in the court will live in fear, and who wouldn't be afraid that their daughter will be forcibly taken by a prince?
Xue Weiyang laughed upon hearing this: "Third Brother, you make a good point."
So he stood up, pulled Xue Zhan aside, and asked with a smile:
"I haven't eaten lunch today, I'm starving. Let's go see what food is in the kitchen."
Sure enough, the next half day passed peacefully.
As darkness fell, Xue Weiyang happily flicked her whip and went back to sleep.
The next morning, Xie Yunyu and Wu Yumin sent a visiting card to Xue Weiyang, saying they would be visiting her soon.
Xue Weiyang suddenly became nervous upon receiving the visiting card.
I wasn't this nervous even when we were trying to steal the bride yesterday.
I was distracted while eating breakfast, and after finishing, I sat restlessly waiting.
Having finally met the two of them, Xue Weiyang lowered her head and blushed with embarrassment when she met Xie Yunyu's ambiguous smile.
Wu Yumin, however, spoke without any politeness: "Oh, isn't this the female general who was catching a husband yesterday?"
The groom didn't come today, so why are you blushing?
Hearing this, Xue Weiyang became even more embarrassed and reached out to tug at Wu Yumin's sleeve:
"Oh, please stop making fun of me."
Wu Yumin reached out and grabbed her hand, questioning her:
"Tell me quickly, have you and my Erlang been having an affair for a long time?"
Xue Weiyang lowered her head, her face as red as if it were dripping blood.
Wu Yumin and Xie Yunyu exchanged a glance, seeing that the gossip fire in each other's eyes was already unstoppable.
Wu Yumin pulled Xue Weiyang into her boudoir and pressed her down into a chair.
She and Xie Yunyu stood with their arms crossed in front of Xue Weiyang and began interrogating her.
"Tell me quickly, how did you two meet?"
Xue Weiyang looked up at the two of them, her face flushed, and said:
"It was at the foot of Nanshan Academy that he helped me pull my car out of the mud."
Wu Yumin then asked, "And then what happened?"
"Later, it was that time when I was drugged by the First Prince at Tianxing Tower that he saved me."
Wu Yumin exclaimed in surprise: "So the person you mentioned last time was Erlang?"
Xue Weiyang nodded, then glanced at Xie Yunyu again:
“I didn’t mean to hide this; I genuinely didn’t know his identity at the time.”
"When did you find out his identity?" Xie Yunyu asked with a smile.
"Yes, on the day of Yumin's wedding, I was hit by someone in your backyard, do you remember?"
Xue Weiyang looked at Xie Yunyu and said.
"Well, you asked me who that person is, I said it might be my second brother or Hui-di."
"Yes, the next day when I got home, I found their portraits and I knew who he was."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yumin exclaimed in surprise, "Then why didn't you come and ask us?"
Xue Weiyang scratched her head when asked the question, her voice so low it was almost inaudible.
"I'm thinking of asking him what he thinks first, to see if he's willing to marry me. If he is, I'll have my father go to your house to propose marriage."
If he's unwilling, then just pretend I didn't say anything. It won't... it won't affect the relationship between the three of us, right?
Wu Yumin laughed upon hearing this, glanced at Xie Yunyu, and then asked slyly:
"Did you ask Erlang?"
Xue Weiyang continued, head bowed, and whispered, "I...I asked..."
"when?"
"On the night of the Lantern Festival, I was passing by when I saw someone trying to kill him, so I saved him."
Then... I asked him... asked him if he would marry me.
"Oh, what did my second brother say?"
Upon hearing the crucial point, Xie Yunyu and Wu Yumin leaned forward, their eyes wide open, displaying the expressions of complete onlookers.
"He rejected me and ran away."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yumin and Xie Yunyu both laughed so hard they bent over.
"Then what?"
After laughing, Wu Yumin continued to ask.
At this point, Xue Weiyang seemed a little angry, so she looked up at the two of them and said indignantly:
"Then I was forced by the eldest prince, so I had no choice but to think of simply catching a son-in-law from the list of successful candidates and forcibly bringing him here to marry me."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yunyu couldn't help but applaud Xue Weiyang.
"A role model for us all."
Wu Yumin clicked her tongue and said, "You two are both amazing! I'm so envious!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Weiyang looked up in astonishment: "What do you mean by 'each one more fierce than the last'? What did she do?"
Wu Yumin smiled and looked at Xie Yunyu, asking, "Can you tell me?"
Xie Yunyu sighed and said, "Well, only you and my second brother in the whole family know, but she... will find out sooner or later."
Xue Weiyang looked at Xie Yunyu, puzzled: "What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?"
Wu Yumin bent down and whispered a few words in Xue Weiyang's ear.
Xue Weiyang turned to look at Xie Yunyu, her face filled with shock.
"You secretly took down the Prince of Shou'an, whom all the unmarried young ladies in the capital were eyeing?"
After speaking, he looked Xie Yunyu up and down.
"You're amazing! I admire you!"
