Chapter 90 It's just my wishful thinking
Chen Niao asked while staring at Mu Huaian, but because of the mask, she couldn't tell what Mu Huaian's mood was.
She felt that Mu Huaian should blame herself. She broke off the engagement when he was at his lowest point, which was unacceptable to anyone else.
But she really had no romantic feelings for Mu Huaian and always regarded him as her brother.
For so many years, she had never seen love between men and women in Mu Huaian's eyes.
If two people who have no feelings for each other and no connection are forced together, if they meet someone they like in the future, they will only become a couple of resentful lovers for the rest of their lives, which will only increase their misfortune.
So at that time, she wanted to meet Mu Huaian, explain in person the reason for breaking off the engagement, and apologize to him, but Mu Huaian refused to see guests. Later, he had already left Beijing and there was no news from him.
Mu Huaian was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "I don't blame you anymore."
He was in a state of uncertainty at that time. When he learned that Chen Niao had broken off the engagement, he was not a saint, so he naturally felt resentful and blamed his face for the reason.
Otherwise, why did Chen Niao retreat after he was injured? Therefore, he could never let it go.
Later, I went to Zhuangzi, and after my heart calmed down, I felt less resentful.
Marriage is a matter between two people. No matter what the reason was for Chen Niao to withdraw from the marriage, the friendship since childhood is always true.
Now that everything is over and I have my lover, I no longer care about the broken engagement.
Chen Niao breathed a sigh of relief. "How is my brother now?"
Mu Huaian: "Everything is fine."
Chen Niao couldn't help but take a few more glances at him. In fact, the fact that he could appear here showed that he was no longer as depressed as he was two years ago. It just looked like he was affected by other factors.
Thinking of the time Mu Huaian looked at Yu Qinghuan just now, and the eye contact between the two was not like that between ordinary people, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother and Madam Yu... have a good relationship?"
When Chen Niao asked this, Xiao Wu's face changed. Miss Chen saw it?!
Mu Huaian's expression suddenly changed. He looked at Chen Niao but did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Why do you ask that?"
He believed that there was nothing wrong when he spoke to Yu Qinghuan just now. How did Chen Niao realize this and ask this question?
Seeing the wary looks from him and the attendants behind him, Chen Niao explained, "Brother looks at her differently."
Chen Niao had known Mu Huaian since childhood, and he felt that he understood Mu Huaian quite well. For example, Mu Huaian had never looked at anyone else with the same eyes he had just used, so affectionate and tender.
She had never seen what Mu Huaian looked like when he liked someone, but she knew clearly that it was definitely not the look he had when looking at his best friend's wife.
She has always regarded Mu Huaian as her brother. She is naturally happy that Mu Huaian has someone he likes and can regain his confidence, but after all, Yu Qinghuan... Xie Zhiwen cares about her so much.
The friendship between Xie and Mu is known to everyone in the capital.
Chen Niao felt that with Mu Huaian's personality, he would not do such an unjust act as taking his wife away, so she was worried that Mu Huaian would be trapped in it forever.
He immediately advised: "Brother, she is already the wife of Ningyuan Hou."
Mu Huaian knew that Chen Niao was a thoughtful person, but he didn't expect that his thoughts could be seen through with just a glance.
He explained, "When I met her, she had just become a widow and was sent to a farm in the suburbs. I never expected that she would be in such a situation now."
Chen Niao was slightly surprised, "She treats you..."
Mu Huaian said in a deep voice, "It's just my wishful thinking. She doesn't know about it. I hope you can keep this a secret and don't mention it in front of others."
Although he knew that Chen Niao was not a talkative person, Mu Huaian took the responsibility for himself out of concern for Yu Qinghuan's reputation.
If the truth is exposed one day, I will have to bear the blame myself.
Chen Niao sighed, "Brother, there are so many women in the world..."
Mu Huaian: "She only has one."
Hearing this, Chen Niao was slightly startled, "It seems that brother really likes her."
Xiao Wu behind him was surprised. He had never known that his young master could be so stubborn when he fell in love.
Originally, Ning Yuanhou was alive, and he should have severed his relationship with Madam Yu. However, his son went headfirst into it.
Now his son has become a villain who forcibly seizes his friend's wife and is despised by people all over the world.
At this moment, he actually hoped that Miss Chen could persuade his young master.
Mu Huaian curled his lips, "She's fine."
Chen Niao: "Brother is also very good."
It is said that it is better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage, but at this moment, she actually hopes that the Ningyuan Marquis and his wife will have some quarrels so that her brother can get what he wants.
Mu Huaian smiled but said nothing.
After Chen Niao left, he still stood in the corridor, looking at the falling snow, and asked Xiao Wu behind him, "If you were me, what would you choose?"
Should I choose a friend of more than ten years, or compete with him for the person I like?
Xiao Wu didn't know how to answer for a long time. In fact, he also felt that the young master's behavior was not kind, but the young master was suffering too much. Now his only comfort was the person he loved. If he lost even this, his future life would be even more miserable.
"No matter what you choose, I will always stand by your side."
He doesn't listen to those big principles. As long as the young master is satisfied, he, Xiaowu, can keep his conscience clear.
Mu Huaian hesitated again. He found that he was not only despicable but also greedy, and he couldn't give up either of them.
...
At this time, Yu Qinghuan was talking to Princess Rui, and noticed that Princess Rui would occasionally support his shoulders or touch his arms, and her behavior was unusual.
She suddenly remembered that at the banquet just now, when Miss Yu wanted to wipe her, Princess Rui's subconscious reaction was to avoid her, as if she was afraid of being discovered.
Princess Rui's eyes sparkled, and she asked curiously, "Can that dough figurine really be made into anything, and still look so lifelike?"
Yu Qinghuan smiled and nodded, "There are many dough figurine craftsmen in the capital. If the princess is curious, send someone outside to make one for us to see."
Princess Rui was slightly startled.
When Chen Niao came in, she happened to hear the two talking, "If the princess likes it, I will go buy one later."
Seeing Chen Niao coming, Princess Rui was obviously happy, "I've told you several times that when no one is around, you can just call me like before."
Chen Niao smiled and sat down beside her. "We visited each other frequently before she got married."
Yu Qinghuan was a little surprised. After all, the two of them didn't look familiar with each other at the banquet just now.
Chen Niao saw her confusion and explained, "My grandfather is trying to support the crown prince, so it's inconvenient for him to be involved with the Rui Palace. That's why Arong and I usually pretend not to know each other."
Yu Qinghuan understood, "I see."
Princess Rui smiled and said, "My last name is Zheng. It's fateful that both our maiden names contain the character 'Qing'. From now on, just follow A'Niao and call me A'Rong."
Yu Qinghuan nodded, but her eyes turned to Chen Niao. She couldn't help but wonder what she and Mu Huaian had said. Why had they been gone for so long...
