"Otherwise, shouldn't I secretly ask Feiyan about this?" Fan Wu said.
Feiyan and Hong Xiaoduo are both girls, and their daily interactions are like those of sisters. They probably talk about these kinds of topics in private!
Even though Quan is an elder brother, he is still a man. No matter how close the relationship, how could a girl talk about such things with her elder brother?
“There’s no need to ask Feiyan. Xiaoduo did talk about getting married, but that’s because she was worried that she wouldn’t be able to take care of the children after she got married,” Quan Jinghuai said.
Fan Wu perked up immediately upon hearing this: "What did she say?"
"She said she's not considering marriage for the time being," Quan Jinghuai said after thinking for a moment.
"Didn't you say why? Were you afraid of entrusting her to the wrong person and ruining her life?" Fan Wu pressed.
Quan Jinghuai shook his head. He only knew that she had a secret that she couldn't tell anyone, and he didn't know if her saying that she wasn't considering getting married was because of that secret.
"No, no, wait a minute." Fan Wu suddenly remembered something. When they were in Fengling Town, they were strolling on the street together. Yuan Xi had overheard her talking to the prince. She said things like she was chaste and self-respecting, that she would be devoted to one person for life, and that if she married, she would be faithful to him.
At the time, Yuanxi misunderstood that he liked Xiaoduo and that the prince was trying to steal her away from him, so Yuanxi did not tell him at the time.
It was only later, after confirming his brotherly feelings for Xiaoduo, that I told him.
He also asked the young master what the young master had said. At the time, it was because of the daughter of Magistrate Liu, but he couldn't remember her name. Anyway, the young master said that it was because of that young lady from the Liu family that he and Xiaoduo had jokingly chatted about marriage.
Is it possible that, although the two were joking and chatting casually, she was actually saying what was on her mind?
So, the reason why the Crown Prince is now struggling is that he cannot commit to being with her for life.
If that's the case, then he deserves to be upset. Why should I pity him? He doesn't deserve anyone's pity!
"What came to mind? What's wrong?" Quan Jinghuai asked.
"It's nothing, it's alright. I can't be bothered with the young master's affairs. I'll treat you to lunch, shall we have a few more drinks?" Fan Wu said.
As for the prince who is like a brother to him? He claims to be in love with Xiaoduo, yet he also wants to enjoy the blessings of having two women in his life? What is he thinking? He only wants to have two women on his left and right, without considering Xiaoduo's feelings?
All day long, Murong Jing stayed in the inn without going out. He didn't eat the breakfast his subordinates bought for him, ate a few bites at noon, and spent the evening drinking alone in his room.
As darkness fell, Mu Rongjing overheard his subordinates whispering to Fan Wu outside the guest room: "Brother Wu, you're finally back. The young master has been inside all day, drinking alone. You should go in and check on him. We dare not say anything or ask anything."
Mu Rongjing thought that Fan Wu would immediately push open the door and come in to comfort her, looking very worried.
Hmph, he was out all day and had a blast, and now he remembers there's a brother at the inn who's in a bad mood?
Mu Rongjing lay fully clothed on the bed, having made up her mind. When Fan Wu came in, she would ignore him. Everyone has a temper!
"Don't worry, even if our young master is in a bad mood, he won't do anything drastic like self-harm. Brother Wu, I've spent the whole day playing with my sister and a few nephews, and I'm a little tired. I'm going to sleep." After this voice, what reached Mu Rongjing's ears was the sound of the door closing next door.
Huh? What's wrong with Fan Wu today? Why isn't he paying attention to his good brother?
Mu Rongjing suddenly sat up...
