Chapter 112: Get Married Soon
Chen Niao sat next to Yu Qinghuan and couldn't help but look at her. He wanted to know what was going on between her and Mu Huaian, but he didn't dare to ask.
Seeing her looking at him frequently, Yu Qinghuan thought there was something on his face, but when he touched it, there was nothing.
When Chen Niao looked over again, Yu Qinghuan couldn't help but ask, "Why do you always look at me?"
Chen Niao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You are beautiful, so of course I can't help but look at you."
This is an excuse, but it is also the truth.
Yu Qinghuan knew that he was good-looking, but this was the first time he had been praised so directly by someone, especially since the other person was a girl of the same age as him.
Her face felt a little hot, and she picked up the tea and took two sips.
Chen Niao was just about to talk to her, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Cheng, who was sitting in the main seat, looking over here from time to time, and her expression didn't look very good.
Did you discover something?
After the banquet ended that day, Chen Niao and Yu Qinghuan left the house together. Mu Huaian wanted to see them off, but was stopped by the maidservant next to Cheng.
"Sir, the Madam invites you."
Cheng Gongjin had just walked out of the flower hall when he heard the words, thinking he was being called. He stopped and looked back. Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, he was about to move on when he was stopped again:
"Sir, Madam asks you to come along."
The two looked at each other and followed the old woman away.
...
At this time, Xie Zhiwen's carriage had already been waiting outside the Duke's Mansion. He frequently lifted the curtain, and when he saw Yu Qinghuan's figure, he immediately jumped out of the carriage, took the paper umbrella from the coachman beside him, and hurried to greet her.
"Ah Huan!"
This shout attracted the attention of the guests who had left the table. Seeing that it was Ningyuan Hou, they all smiled mischievously.
I thought: This Ningyuan Hou is really a lovesick man. Whenever Yu goes out, he comes to pick her up eagerly.
Some people saw this and thought of their miserable husband who was drinking somewhere at home. They felt envious and thought that they had married too hastily in the first place!
Although the Ningyuan Marquis had no official career, his doting on his wife made him surpass half of the men in the capital.
The moment Yu Qinghuan saw Xie Zhiwen walking towards her with an umbrella, she was a little stunned. She thought that Xie Zhiwen's words about coming to pick her up today were just casual talk.
After all, no one knows when the banquet will end, and there is no exact time. If Xie Zhiwen wants to pick someone up, he can only come early and wait outside.
She said something to Chen Niao and walked quickly towards Xie Zhiwen.
The moment he met Yu Qinghuan, Xie Zhiwen tilted his umbrella towards her to block the falling snow, and handed her the hand warmer in his arms, "It's cold, warm your hands quickly."
Yu Qinghuan couldn't help but ask, "My Lord, how long have you been waiting outside?"
Xie Zhiwen smiled, "Not long ago, I just got here and you came out."
Yu Qinghuan didn't believe it, and she didn't know how the time when the banquet ended could be so perfect.
She held the hand warmer and looked at Xie Zhiwen in front of her. Her throat suddenly felt dry. It was freezing cold, and she didn't know how long this man had been waiting outside. He was really a fool.
Watching the two of them get on the carriage, Xie Zhiwen treated Yu Qinghuan like a treasure and protected her. Chen Niao was worried about Mu Huaian and wanted to snatch him away, which was really not easy.
...
At this time, Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
The maids were taken away by the old woman, and once the door was closed, no one was allowed to approach.
Cheng Gongjin was waiting in the other room.
In the room, Cheng looked at her son. Because he was wearing a mask, she couldn't tell what his emotions were. She felt a little annoyed and didn't know how to start.
Seeing his mother staring at him without saying anything, Mu Huaian thought she had nothing important to do and immediately said, "Mother, the teacher is still waiting. If it's nothing important, I'll go and ask the teacher to come over."
Having said that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Cheng immediately called out to him, "Stop!"
Mu Huaian had no choice but to stop.
Cheng's fingertips slammed heavily on the table, the sound particularly sharp in the silent room. She stared at her son's back and asked in a deep voice, "Let me ask you, what is your relationship with the wife of the Ningyuan Marquis?"
Hearing this, Mu Huaian's body stiffened slightly, and his knuckles turned slightly white from clenching under his sleeves.
He turned to look at Cheng and said in a low voice, "She is Jin Yan's wife. I have met her several times."
Cheng stood up, walked around to her son, and tried to see something in his eyes.
But Mu Huaian concealed it very well, with his back straight, and he didn't look guilty at all.
For a moment, Cheng wondered if she had misunderstood. After all, her son didn't look like someone who would do such a despicable thing.
Mu Huaian didn't know how much she had guessed, but at the moment, he could only fool her, "If mother has nothing else to do, I will go and call the teacher first."
Cheng frowned and waved her hands, but suddenly said, "Huaian, you are not young anymore, it's time for you to get married. In a few days..."
Mu Huaian interrupted, "Mother, I have no intention of getting married."
Seeing Cheng's face full of suspicion and wanting to say something, he raised his hand and slowly took off the mask. The hideous scar meandered from his brow to his jaw, covering his entire right face.
Cheng's pupils suddenly constricted, she took a breath of cold air, and unconsciously took half a step back.
Seeing her reaction, Mu Huaian felt a chill in his heart, and a hint of self-mockery appeared on his lips: "If even my mother can't stand it, who else can I expect to be attracted to my face?"
He turned and walked away.
Cheng was still a little dazed. She was about to explain when she saw her son had left. She suddenly felt a headache and her heart ached.
She hadn't seen her son for two years, and when she suddenly saw the scar on his face, she still couldn't accept it.
Her son used to be so outstanding, but now...
Just when Cheng was still worried about this, Cheng Gongjin walked into the room.
"sister."
Cheng raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, looked at her brother, and extended her hand, "Ajin, come here."
Cheng Gongjin hesitated for a moment and walked over.
Cheng grabbed his hand and held it tightly, tears in her eyes, "Ajin, you've seen how Huai'an is now. As a teacher, you can't just ignore him!"
Cheng Gongjin's eyes darkened, "I'll take care of him."
He would certainly lead his nephew back to his original path and hand the Cheng family over to him.
Cheng wiped her tears with her sleeves, looking very distressed. If Duke Dingguo were here at this moment, he would definitely feel distressed when he saw this.
She choked up and said, "Then you should get married soon."
Cheng Gongjin said indifferently, "What does this have to do with me managing him?"
Cheng looked at her brother with hope. "Huai'an has always been taught by you. If you don't marry, he won't marry either. He has to follow you in everything. Just think of it as doing it for the Cheng and Mu families... Otherwise, how will I face my parents when I die?"
Cheng Gongjin pursed his lips, looked at his sister in front of him, and said after a while, "Stop pretending. The tea stains are all on your sleeves."
Cheng paused as she wiped her tears: "......"
