Chapter 789 Xingxing's wedding is the best opportunity

The fact that the Meimu Opera Troupe was Xingxing's asset was not concealed even after they arrived at the theater.

The main thing is that once Xingxing entered the garden, she was treated very differently.

The exquisite snacks were served in plates, and the tea was also very good, filling the table in the small private room.

At first Wei Shiyu thought it was because of the three box tickets he bought at a high price, and he even muttered to Xing Xing Wei Shiyan, saying that it was really worth the money.

Xing Xing smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to tell Wei Shiyu.

Fortunately, the Meimu Opera Troupe started performing a wonderful show afterwards, and Wei Shiyu's attention was immediately drawn to the stage, and he listened with great gusto.

Unexpectedly, Wei Shiyan also likes to listen to opera.

He listened with great concentration.

Xing Xing breathed a sigh of relief and focused all her energy on the stage. She happily ate snacks and watched the new play by the Meimu Opera Troupe.

——Although Wei Shiyu didn’t think too much about it at this moment, not long after, Zi Ruihong, the always aloof mainstay of the Meimu Opera Troupe, came directly to the box where Xingxing and the others were, wearing a full set of makeup without even taking it off after she finished singing and left the stage.

Ruihong is dressed in green, so beautiful that it is hard to tell whether she is male or female.

He smiled and called out "Miss", and Wei Shiyu's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Ruihong knelt down and saluted Wei Shiyu and Wei Shiyan as a greeting, then smiled and asked Xingxing, "Miss, the play we just performed was newly choreographed by us. What do you think of it?"

Xing Xing quickly glanced at Wei Shiyu and coughed: "It's fine..."

Rui Hong was very smart and knew that the boss might not be able to chat at this moment. He smiled sympathetically and said, "Then you are busy first, Miss. I will talk to you later."

Before leaving, Ruihong knelt down and bowed to Wei Shiyu and Wei Shiyan before taking her leave. She was very polite.

However, Wei Shiyu had already tasted something wrong.

He turned his head suspiciously and looked at Xingxing: "... This Ruihong, when I came to listen to the opera before, he was very rude to everyone. Why is he so rude to you..."

Wei Shiyu looked Xing Xing up and down, and suddenly said something shocking: "You two don't have a special relationship, do you?"

Wei Shiyu's words are ambiguous.

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that his second brother gave him a sinister look with a somewhat cold look in his eyes.

Wei Shiyu waved his hand quickly: "No, no, I don't mean anything else... I mean, are you two on good terms?"

This statement was somewhat ambiguous. Wei Shiyu felt that his second brother's eyes were still cold.

Wei Shiyu was sweating coldly.

Fortunately, at this moment someone knocked gently on the door outside the private room and greeted her with a smile, "Miss."

It was Mo Wenjin, the owner of the Meimu Opera Troupe, who came over.

Xing Xing didn't have time to explain to Wei Shiyu for a moment, so she let the class owner Mo Wenjin in first.

Mo Wen's face was radiant and he greeted Xing Xing warmly and attentively.

The main pillar of this troupe, the troupe owner, came over to greet them one by one. Xing Xing thought that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she coughed and didn't try to avoid the question anymore: "Owner, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Mo Wenjin showed some hesitation, and Xing Xing said, "It's okay, these two are our own people."

Mo Wenjin then smiled and said, "Yes, Miss, it's a good thing. An official from the Honglu Temple came and said that Nanzheng will send an envoy in a few days. One of the steps is to let Nanzheng see the brilliant art of our Daxia folks and promote the prestige of our Daxia country."

Before Xing Xing could say anything, Wei Shiyu beside her clapped his thigh excitedly: "I know that the Nanman delegation is coming, and the Honglu Temple Opera Troupe was chosen to perform the Meimu Opera Troupe? Not bad, not bad, old man Sheng from Honglu Temple does have some taste!"

When Mo Wenjin heard Wei Shiyu's evaluation of the Minister of Honglu Temple, he looked away in surprise.

Mo Wenjin still had some impression of Wei Shiyu and knew that this was "Master Wei San" who was a regular customer who often came to the garden to listen to opera.

This regular customer has always been low-key and generous... It was the first time that Mo Wenjin knew that this regular customer, Wei Sanye, was not only a friend of their boss, but also very familiar with the tone of the officials in the court...

Wait, Master Wei San... Wei... Wei?!

A flash of surprise flashed through Mo Wenjin's mind, but he still smiled and pretended not to know: "Master Wei San is really well-informed."

Wei Shiyu showed a bit of pride on his face: "It's okay, it's okay."

Xing Xing shook her head helplessly and said with a smile: "This is a good thing."

The head of the Mo Troupe nodded, with a look of excitement and encouragement: "I want to discuss with the eldest lady that since our Meimu Troupe has been selected for the Nanman visit, we must not bring shame to Daxia. So I want to wait until the Nanman delegation is about to enter the capital, and then temporarily suspend the troupe to rehearse and improve their skills."

Mo Wenjin looked at Xing Xing with some anticipation, "Miss, do you think this will work?"

Xing Xing said seriously: "This is an important matter. What the class owner said is very necessary. I support it."

Mo Wenjin was obviously very happy. He nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Miss, we will never embarrass you!"

Mo Wenjin happily took his leave.

Wei Shiyu frowned and turned to look at Xing Xing: "...Are you going to tell me that this Meimu Opera Troupe is also your business?"

Xing Xing hesitated: "...If I say yes, what will you do?"

"It's OK. I can still hold on." Wei Shiyu wiped his face and said firmly, "Come on, Xingxing, why don't you tell me the truth, what other industries do you have in the capital?"

Xing Xing thought for a moment and said, "Not... not much. My second brother is a business genius. He helps me run most of the business."

Wei Shiyu became alert when he heard this.

He is no longer the simple and ignorant person he was half a day ago!

"...So, can you roughly give me a number, how many companies are there?" Wei Shiyu asked vigilantly.

Xing Xing thought for a moment and said, "Not many, maybe only about a hundred."

Wei Shiyu was stunned: "...This does not include the farmland and other properties, right? And the three thousand households of food my father just gave you..."

Xing Xing nodded: "Yes, those are not included. There are also some industries outside of my hometown. My grandmother was afraid that I would suffer, so she bought some industries for me from all over the country."

Suffering...

How can we endure hardship under such conditions? !

Wei Shiyu realized one thing deeply.

——That is, how low-key the Yu family is!

Xing Xing suddenly remembered something and added, "Oh, by the way, I also have a mine. I have been investing in its development over the past few years, and I have started to see some money coming back this year. I think I will be able to break even soon."

Wei Shiyu: “…”

He was completely numb.

What a rich woman this is! She is so rich that she can rival a country!

Wei Shiyu looked at his second brother and suddenly thought, even if he became a prodigal son who lived off others for food and drink in the future, as long as he held on to his second brother and Xing Xing, wouldn't he be able to live a good life in the future?

This is a good thing!

Thinking of this, Wei Shiyu immediately understood!

…

Xingxing had a very fulfilling day. First, she went to a banquet in the Fourth Prince's palace, then she wandered around with Wei Shiyan and Wei Shiyu, and finally she went to listen to a play.

It was almost dusk when she returned home under the escort of Wei Shiyan and Wei Shiyu.

Who would have thought that just as the carriage arrived at the gate of Yu Mansion, Xing Xing was still lifting the curtain to ask Wei Shiyan and Wei Shiyu if they wanted to go in for some tea and dinner before leaving, when the gatekeeper ran over with a nervous look on his face and reported in a low voice: "...Princess, the wife of the prince of Xin Guo Mansion is here, and has been waiting for you in the mansion all afternoon."

Xing Xing's body paused slightly.

Within two days after she came back, she went to visit the old couple of Duke Xin. Of course, she didn't want to meet Jiao, so she went there in a low profile, and there was no token of the Yu family in the carriage she took. The old couple of Duke Xin also respected Xingxing's personal wishes and did not leak any news to Jiao and the others.

But there is no wall that is impenetrable.

Jiao eventually found out about it. She was so heartbroken that she rushed to Yu's house uncontrollably.

Because Jiao's condition obviously looked amiss, the Yu family's concierge urgently notified Mrs. Wei, who then invited Jiao to her house for tea.

Jiao just sat there with a pale face.

Mrs. Wei didn't dare to provoke her too much, for fear that something might really happen.

So she secretly asked someone to tell the doorman that if Xingxing came back, he should tell Xingxing about this and let Xingxing make her own decision.

…

When Xingxing heard that Jiao was there, she frowned slightly.

She didn't really want to see Jiao.

Xingxing had previously heard that Jiao knelt down in the small Buddhist temple every day to chant sutras and pray for her safe return, and she didn't know how to face Jiao.

Wei Shiyan probably saw the embarrassment on Xingxing's face. He paused and suddenly turned over and dismounted.

Wei Shiyu was still a little surprised: "Second brother?"

Wei Shiyan ignored Wei Shiyu. He led the horse and looked at Xingxing: "Will I go back with you?"

Xing Xing didn't bother to be polite with Wei Shiyan and nodded: "Okay."

Wei Shiyu was also about to dismount: "Then I..."

Wei Shiyan said: "You go back to the palace."

Wei Shiyu froze in mid-air: "Ah?"

Wei Shiyan said patiently: "If the two of us are together, the Yu family might feel uncomfortable."

Wei Shiyu thought that if the two princes came to Yu's house together, it would indeed make the host family uncomfortable.

Wei Shiyu smacked his lips with some regret: "...Okay then, I'll go back to the palace first. I'm afraid my mother is still thinking about me in the palace."

Xing Xing and Wei Shiyan nodded in unison: "Go back soon."

Wei Shiyu had to leave reluctantly.

Xing Xing and Wei Shiyan then looked at each other and entered the Yu family together.

Xingxing didn't let anyone know that Prince Cong was coming with her, otherwise, everyone in the family would have to rush out to welcome him.

Xingxing and Wei Shiyan entered the main courtyard of the Yu family. Only then did Mrs. Wei realize that Xingxing did not come back alone, she also brought back His Royal Highness Prince Cong.

Mrs. Wei hurriedly took several women in the house out to greet them.

Jiao sat here for most of the afternoon, feeling a little dazed.

I was so dazed that when I heard the five words "Xingxing" and "King Cong", I couldn't react for a moment.

When she saw that the Yu family ignored her and hurried out, these five words went through her mind again, and then Jiao suddenly reacted.

Xing Xing!

King Cong!

Jiao suddenly stood up and hurried to the door, and saw the women of the Yu family coming in, surrounded by a man and a woman.

Who else could that girl be if not the Xingxing she has been thinking about all the time?

Jiao had tears in her eyes and was about to call out "Xingxing" with a trembling voice, but Wei Pozi coughed and interrupted, "Madam, this is His Royal Highness Prince Cong."

Jiao's emotions were suddenly interrupted, and she could only pay her respects to Prince Cong according to etiquette.

Wei Shiyan looked at Jiao calmly.

This is... Xingxing’s biological mother?

While in the cave, Xingxing talked to him a lot.

Including her biological mother who gave Xingxing a complicated impression.

From the looks of it now, Xingxing has probably grown up and doesn't look that much like Jiao.

The temperament is completely different.

Wei Shiyan retracted his gaze and said calmly, "In the past, when I was cultivating in the mountains, I was often taken care of by the Yu family. Moreover, this time I was able to return to the capital safely, thanks to Xing Xing and the Fourth Master Yu. The Yu family is my benefactor. There is no need to be polite."

The Yu family members felt very comforted by these words.

Mother Wei let Wei Shiyan sit at the main seat: "Your Highness Prince Cong's words are really embarrassing to our Yu family."

Perhaps Mrs. Wei could be said to have grown up watching Wei Shiyan, so she was not afraid of Wei Shiyan's cold face. She asked about what happened between Wei Shiyan and Xingxing outside in a very familiar and intimate manner.

Jiao was originally sitting in the guest seat feeling very uncomfortably, but when she heard Mrs. Wei asking Wei Shiyan about Xing Xing, her ears almost pricked up.

Wei Shiyan was not a talkative person, but Mrs. Wei was an elder he respected. When Mrs. Wei asked some questions, Wei Shiyan answered them seriously.

Mrs. Wei could sense Wei Shiyan's attitude and nodded with satisfaction.

As Jiao listened, her eyes subconsciously moved to Xingxing's face.

Xingxing's little face was rosy, but her eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky. She was smiling as she watched Wei Shiyan and Mrs. Wei talking about their experiences.

——Jiao realized something and his eyes widened instantly.

She looked at Wei Shiyan for a while, then at Xing Xing, her eyes seemed to be burning with some kind of enlightenment.

Jiao's mood instantly lifted!

Her Xingxing, this is, this is good news coming!

Then think about how her Xingxing had risked her life for His Royal Highness Prince Cong, and how she was of noble status. She had saved the Empress' life and was personally conferred a princess by the Emperor.

Aren't these two a match made in heaven!

Wait for His Majesty to grant marriage, Xingxing, Xingxing must marry from the Duke of Xin's Mansion, right?

By then, wouldn't it be natural for Xingxing to call her mother?

Jiao's heart was about to jump out of her throat!

Wedding, yes, wedding! How could she forget about the wedding? !

Jiao felt that he suddenly saw hope!

Just like a drowning person clinging to the last piece of driftwood, Jiao felt that Xingxing's marriage to Prince Cong was her best chance!

Mrs. Wei would glance at Jiao from time to time out of the corner of her eye.

She was really worried that Jiao, as her biological mother, would do something strange.

Then, Mrs. Wei saw Jiao laughing in a very strange way.

Her face was flushed with smile.

It's really terrifying to watch.

Mrs. Wei's arms were covered with goose bumps.

She rubbed her arms with a chill and some worry.

Is there really something wrong with Jiao's brain?
