Chapter 171 Mu Huaian Discusses Marriage
Mu Huaian obviously also saw Xie Zhili not far away, and Xie Zhiwen walking towards him.
He lowered his eyes to look at the hand that had been tightly held just now but was now subconsciously released, and felt empty in his heart.
There was no need for Yu Qinghuan to hide her relationship with Xie Zhili, so she let go of his hand only after she saw Xie Zhiwen.
Could it be that she still cares about Xie Zhiwen in her heart?
Yu Qinghuan was about to open her mouth to explain, but she saw Mu Huaian smiling at her gently, "It's okay, you just moved out of the Marquis' Mansion, you should keep it a secret for a while."
Listening to his considerate words, Yu Qinghuan's conscience ached slightly. She didn't know why, but when she suddenly saw so many people appear in front of her, she panicked and let go of his hand.
But she couldn't explain it to Mu Huaian like this, so she might as well let him think it was because of Xie Zhiwen.
At this time, Xie Zhiwen, who had not been seen for a few days, had walked up to the two of them. Ever since Yu Qinghuan moved out of the Marquis' Mansion, he had no intention of doing anything else. He stayed in Yu Qinghuan's yard all day, looking at the furnishings in the house, and reminiscing about the past with Yu Qinghuan.
Ever since Yu Qinghuan started writing to him, he had been deliberately avoiding seeing Yu Qinghuan, for fear that he would regret it.
But when he learned that Yu Qinghuan was coming to the Zheng family for a banquet, he could no longer sit still!
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Zheng family's Spring Flower Banquet is for unmarried men and women in Beijing to meet each other. Ah Huan came to attend this kind of banquet right after moving out of the Marquis' Mansion, obviously wanting to get married again!
Although he knew that no matter what she did had nothing to do with his ex-husband, Xie Zhiwen couldn't help it. As soon as he heard the news, he ran over eagerly, without even shaving his beard. He thought he would just watch her from a distance and never go up to disturb her.
But from a distance, he saw a familiar figure, who looked more lively and energetic than when he was in the Marquis' Mansion, and very much like the way he looked when he first met him in Jingyuan.
So much so that Xie Zhiwen couldn't help himself and walked over with eager eyes. At this moment, he only had Yu Qinghuan in his eyes and ignored Mu Huaian who was walking with Yu Qinghuan.
Seeing Yu Qinghuan up close, he realized that she had become even more beautiful after not seeing her for a few days. He opened his mouth and asked reluctantly, "Ah Huan...it's been a few days, are you doing well?"
Yu Qinghuan laughed dryly twice, asking this question as if they hadn't seen each other for several years.
"I'm fine. Is the Marquis okay?"
Xie Zhiwen suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said, "How can I be well without you?"
Ever since Ah Huan moved out of the Marquis' Mansion, he couldn't eat or sleep. The doctor came to see him and said that it was caused by worry.
He has a lot of pain in his heart, but now he has nowhere to confide in.
Hearing this, Yu Qinghuan glanced nervously at Mu Huaian beside him, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that his expression was normal.
"That's all in the past. My Lord, it's time to move on. Marry as soon as possible and live a good life."
She sincerely advised Xie Zhiwen to look forward instead of being stuck in the past. After all, Xie Zhiwen looked really bad today, with dark circles under his eyes and his cheeks looking a little thinner.
He used to be so stable, but now he felt light and frail, as if he had a serious illness, and in fact he did have a serious illness.
She looked at it and felt really sorry for it.
Mu Huaian also echoed, "Jinyan, you can look around today. If you find a suitable one, you can ask Madam Zheng about it."
He has never been a nosy person, but now he is advising people to meet each other and get married as soon as possible.
If it were in the past, Xie Zhiwen would definitely think that his friend was thinking about him, but in Jiuchong Mountain, he already knew that his friend had fallen in love with Yu Qinghuan.
When he heard these words again and saw the two people walking side by side, his face changed immediately. He felt that when he was in Jiuchong Mountain, his words of advice to his friend to give up his thoughts must have been ignored by the other party.
Now that he saw Ah Huan moving out of the Marquis' Mansion, he was tempted and wanted to give it a try... After all, Ah Huan was beautiful.
As a friend of more than ten years, Xie Zhiwen knows Mu Huaian well. He is a man of noble character, proficient in the six arts of a gentleman, and good at music. He must have many common topics with Yu Qinghuan.
Knowing this very well, he couldn't bear to see these two people getting along.
One is his ex-wife, and the other is his long-time friend. If these two get together, it will be the end of his life!
Xie Zhiwen looked at Yu Qinghuan calmly, and saw that she looked normal and did not lean towards Mu Huaian when she spoke. It seemed that she just treated Mu Huaian as an ordinary friend, and he immediately felt relieved.
"Huaian, Ah Huan and I have something to discuss privately. Could you please step aside for a moment?"
Yu Qinghuan was about to speak when she felt that she had nothing to say in private and there was no need to avoid Mu Huaian.
But Mu Huaian nodded, gave Yu Qinghuan a reassuring look, and then walked away.
His lonely figure made Yu Qinghuan feel distressed again. He had already moved out of the Marquis' Mansion, but he was always forced to hide. She immediately decided to make it up to him tonight.
Turning her head, she looked at Xie Zhiwen with a puzzled look, "I wonder what the Marquis wants to say?"
Xie Zhiwen's eyes were filled with disappointment. "Ah Huan, even if we are not husband and wife anymore, why should we be so distant? Before we got married, you always called me Jin Yan."
Yu Qinghuan was speechless. At that time, she only wanted to seduce Xie Zhiwen to escape from the Yu family, so naturally they were as intimate as possible. Now that they had moved out of the Marquis' Mansion, she had to call him "Master Marquis".
"There are a lot of people watching, so if you have something to say, please say it quickly."
Xie Zhiwen's pale lips moved, "Why are you and Huaian together?"
Yu Qinghuan's heart skipped a beat. Did he see something?
But her ex-husband didn't look like he'd noticed anything, so she immediately explained, "We just ran into each other, so we're traveling together. What's wrong?"
Xie Zhiwen thought of the few pleasantries he had exchanged with the wife of Duke Dingguo just now, and immediately said to Yu Qinghuan seriously, "Ah Huan, Huai'an had his engagement broken off once, so it's not easy for him to get married now. You should keep some distance from him to avoid misunderstandings and affecting his marriage."
Discuss marriage?
Yu Qinghuan was stunned. So Mu Huaian came to the Spring Flower Banquet today... not to see her, but to discuss marriage.
As she spoke, she caught a glimpse of someone not far away. Mu Huaian had just walked away when he was called aside by the wife of Duke Dingguo. Across from him, she saw a girl with a quiet face being accompanied by a lady. She remembered that it was the wife of Minister Sun of the Ministry of Personnel.
The talent of the Sun family girl is also well-known in the capital.
Mu Huaian was wearing a mask, so Yu Qinghuan couldn't see the emotions on his face, but she could clearly see his lips moving slightly. Miss Sun said something, and he also said something. As they talked, Miss Sun blushed and felt a little shy.
A talented man and a beautiful woman, they must have many topics to talk about.
Yu Qinghuan couldn't help but think, if Mu Huaian had met Miss Sun instead of herself in the manor... he would probably be married now and would not be entangled with herself.
The more she thought about it, the more bitter she felt in her heart. Looking at Xie Zhiwen in front of her, she suddenly felt unhappy. "Yes, I have a bad reputation. I shouldn't have gotten close to him. It affected other people's marriage plans. Thank you so much for reminding me!"
Xie Zhiwen was blocked and immediately realized that Yu Qinghuan had misunderstood his words, "Ah Huan, that's not what I meant..."
