Chapter 89: Can my brother blame me?
Miss Wei covered her face and stared blankly at her father who had always doted on her. She couldn't believe that he would hit her.
Her tears fell, "Father..."
Miss Wei standing by was also stunned. She had never seen her half-sister in such a miserable state, and a sense of pleasure instantly rose in her heart!
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that Minister Wei, who had always doted on his second daughter, would get so angry and not care about his face at all, and beat someone on the spot?
At this time, Sang Ru returned to Yu Qinghuan and said, "I have reported this matter to Lord Wei as you instructed, but many guests in the front yard are here and they all heard it."
Her wife had taught her that today's incident was just a small matter, but the banquet was organized by her wife after all. Although Princess Rui would not hold her accountable, if she let the matter go, it would be a slap in the face of her wife, and the old lady might even blame her later.
Only by making this little thing known to everyone can Minister Wei realize the seriousness of the situation, and today's matter will not be left unresolved.
Therefore, she said it in front of everyone in the front yard just now, in order to let all the guests know that the two girls from the Wei family were causing trouble, so as to embarrass Minister Wei.
Yu Qinghuan looked at Sang Ru with admiration, "Not bad, you are becoming more reliable now."
Chen Niao, who was standing by, looked at Yu Qinghuan with increasing admiration. Even the maidservant beside her was doing her job so well.
At this moment, Minister Wei pointed at his second daughter and cursed her bitterly, "You rebellious girl! Normally, I couldn't bear to criticize you because you were so young, but I never thought you would dare to come to the Marquis's residence and offend the noble today. Why don't you apologize to the Marquis's wife!"
On weekdays, his two daughters quarreled a little, but he didn't bother to care about it. They were just the tricks of girls fighting over each other.
Unexpectedly, today, these two people actually caused trouble in such an occasion. All the civil and military officials in the hall, as well as the Crown Prince and Prince Rui, now know about this matter. It really brought shame to his Wei family!
Miss Wei had never seen her father so angry before. She was so scared that she burst into tears and apologized to Yu Qinghuan.
Miss Wei, who was standing nearby, also came out to admit her mistake and apologize.
Yu Qinghuan had a cold face and only asked Minister Wei to take the two daughters away. He then went back to Prince Rui's Mansion to apologize and asked them not to disturb his banquet today.
Soon, Minister Wei took the two daughters away, and the entire backyard became quiet. The guests came out from behind the screens one after another and soon started chatting again, as if nothing had happened just now.
At this moment, Yu Qinghuan took Sang Ru to the backyard, but unexpectedly, Chen Niao followed them.
"Madam Yu, are you going to look for Princess Rui?"
Yu Qinghuan: "Miss Chen is also going to look for Princess Rui?"
Chen Niao smiled and nodded.
Yu Qinghuan had a good impression of Chen Niao and did not refuse. "Then let's go together."
Sang Ru at the back wanted to say something but stopped herself, wanting to remind her wife that this Miss Chen was the daughter of Lord Chen who had canceled the young master's marriage.
Madam has a very close relationship with the young master now, so how can she have any contact with this girl from the Chen family?
If the young master saw this, who knows what would happen...
Just as Sang Ru was thinking about this, she saw the person coming towards her. He was wearing a mask and wrapped in a snow-white fox fur coat. It was the young master of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Mu Huaian.
Sang Ru was speechless: “…” What you fear will come true.
Glancing at the familiar person, Mu Huaian was slightly startled, but quickly came to his senses and looked at Yu Qinghuan, puzzled as to why the two of them were walking together.
Chen Niao was also stunned. He didn't expect to suddenly meet Mu Huaian here, whom he hadn't seen for more than two years.
Xiao Wu, who was standing behind Mu Huaian, widened his eyes. What kind of a good day is today? Why are all these people and things happening at the same time?
Yu Qinghuan took the initiative to speak, "Why is the young master here?"
Mu Huaian didn't look at Chen Niao again. His eyes turned to Yu Qinghuan with a much softer tone. He explained, "The front yard is noisy. I'm here to take a break."
Yu Qinghuan nodded, "Miss Wei just bumped into Princess Rui. I'm going to go see Princess Rui now."
Mu Huaian nodded and stood aside to make way for the two of them.
Chen Niao, who was standing beside him, suddenly spoke up, "It's been a while since we last met. I wonder if you could spare a moment to talk to me, brother?"
When these words came out, almost everyone held their breath.
Mu Huaian subconsciously looked towards Yu Qinghuan, and happened to meet Yu Qinghuan's eyes as she looked over at him.
Sang Ru and Xiao Wu both looked at Chen Niao, each worried about their own master. The broken engagement happened two years ago, and they wondered what this girl from the Chen family wanted to do now.
Mu Huaian's subconscious reaction was noticed by the attentive Chen Niao. She was slightly stunned and turned to look at Yu Qinghuan. She was puzzled but did not ask.
Yu Qinghuan knew that Mu Huaian was asking for her opinion. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Then you guys chat. I'll go see Princess Rui first."
After Yu Qinghuan left, Sang Ru followed him, but she was a little worried and kept looking back, even wanting to stay there and eavesdrop.
"Madam, are you really going to let them talk alone?"
The young master is such a good person, isn't Madam worried that these two will rekindle their relationship?
Yu Qinghuan didn't care, "Isn't Xiaowu here?"
Sang Ru curled her lips. "After all, Miss Chen and the young master are childhood sweethearts. Maybe they'll end up talking about it again... From what I see, Miss Chen doesn't care about the young master's appearance as much as the rumors say. Are you really not worried?"
Yu Qinghuan was silent. How could she not be worried? Not to mention that Sang Ru wanted to stay there and listen, she herself didn't want to leave.
"I'm a mess myself now, how can I ask him for anything?"
When she said this, there was a bitterness in her voice that she herself didn't even notice.
Sang Ru sighed and whispered, "I saw it today. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been staring at you. He doesn't look like he's going to give up."
Yu Qinghuan suddenly had a headache. This was what worried her the most.
But there is no solution now, we can only take it one step at a time, and deal with the enemy with our troops and block the water with earth.
...
At this time, the only sound in the yard was the whistling wind, which was carrying snow and falling to the ground.
Mu Huaian and Chen Niao walked to the corridor. Xiao Wu stood not far away, listening with his ears perked up, fearing that his young master would be hurt by the girl from the Chen family again.
Chen Niao spoke first, looking at Mu Huaian with some guilt, "I'm really sorry about breaking off the engagement back then. I wanted to explain to you, but you didn't see guests."
Back then, she had wanted to cancel the engagement, but she didn't expect Mu Huaian to be injured. So when she went to visit him and saw Mu Huaian's injury, she didn't mention it, thinking that she would discuss canceling the engagement after Mu Huaian recovered.
Unexpectedly, the Duke's wife felt that Mu Huaian's career was hopeless due to his injury, so she wanted to arrange the marriage between the two families as soon as possible. Helplessly, she could only propose to cancel the engagement.
Unexpectedly, some bad words about Mu Huaian were spread in the capital because of this.
Chen Niao looked at Mu Huaian in front of him cautiously and asked nervously, "Does my brother blame me?"
