Chapter 152 152, He has a daughter?

The engagement banquet was held at the Marquis Mansion in Jinyang.

All the dignitaries in the city came to the banquet.

Such an engagement banquet should be a supreme honor for Mu Yunjiang - an ordinary little concubine became the head of the county in one fell swoop, and was given a marriage gift to marry into the marquis's family. The emperor invited officials from the Ministry of Etiquette to the marquis's mansion to preside over the engagement ceremony.

With such a wedding standard, generally only princes and princesses can receive such treatment.

Such a marriage is absolutely unique among the wealthy families in Tiandu City.

When Xiao Qiyu came to the door, he saw an endless stream of guests inside and outside the Hou Mansion. These distinguished guests were all well-dressed, smiling, saying "congratulations" and bowing with fists in their hands.

He thought about it carefully, and if Mu Yunjiang was engaged to him, there would not be many guests in the Jingbei Palace.

Now, everyone knows that the relationship between the Crown Prince and King Jingbei is tense.

Under such circumstances, attending his banquet shows that you are in the same camp as him. Who dares to stand in line so blatantly?

The day the prince ascends the throne, all those close to King Jingbei will no longer be able to succeed.

The Marquis of Jinyang is different.

He does not create factions, and his foundation in the court is complicated. He has many good friends. This time it is his most beloved son who is getting engaged, so he held this engagement banquet extremely grandly.

.

"Third brother, here you are, sit inside!"

Luo Xunyang, who was dressed in fine clothes and looked majestic, was receiving guests with a smile and was in high spirits. When he saw Xiao Qiyu coming to the banquet, he felt a little nervous for no reason.

What he was most afraid of at the moment was that during the engagement ceremony, if Xiao Qiyu came and snatched the marriage on the spot, wouldn't he be embarrassed?

But he still had a smile on his face.

Xiao Qiyu nodded and said, "Congratulations, you finally got what you wanted."

"Thank you, Third Brother."

He returned the greeting with a bright smile.

Only Xiao Qiyu himself knew how bitter he felt when he said these words.

And Luo Xunyang's "thank you" was such a hypocritical politeness - if he hadn't secretly communicated with his father and acted first, it might have been him and Mu Yunjiang who should be engaged at this moment.

"Third brother, come here, I want to have a chat with you..."

Luo Xunyang pulled the person to a high building behind the wedding hall.

There was no one else here except them, only the birds on the trees were chirping.

Standing on a high place, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Hou Mansion - you can have a panoramic view of the loud gongs and drums in the front yard.

At this moment, both of them were silent.

They were the best of brothers, but now they are trapped in a pitiful confrontation in which they are silent about each other. This is probably an outcome they never dreamed of.

"If you have anything to do, tell me!"

It was Xiao Qiyu who broke the silence between the two.

"From today on, Ajaan is my fiancée. Third brother, I hope you can let go in the future and stop pestering my bride..."

Luo Xunyang looked serious: "Now, I still call you third brother. Going forward, I hope you will always be my third brother. I hope there won't be any new conflicts between you and me..."

He really didn't want to have any more conflicts with him.

Xiao Qiyu turned his head and stared at him quietly, and said lightly: "Xunyang, you can get engaged this time because you cheated, so I can't guarantee what will happen in the future?

"Today, I just want to tell you: I will not mess around and will respect her wishes. But if one day, let me know that you have made things difficult for her. Xunyang, I will let you know my methods."

Luo Xunyang's face darkened and his heart tightened when he heard:

Is Third Brother going to start a war with him?

What he said was so harsh.

It turns out that the third brother who is sincerely moved will also get angry and turn into a beauty.

He pursed his lips unconsciously: "Third brother, no, King Jingbei, Third Prince, then I will also say something: I will not give you the chance to take her away. In this life, she is destined to be my bride.

If you fight with me, I will fight with all my strength and will never give in."

This was the first time in so many years that he longed for someone so much. Therefore, he could only break up with his third brother.

Xiao Qiyu stopped talking and turned around to leave.

Luo Xunyang stood there, his face gradually showing sadness. From now on, he no longer has a third brother - the place in his heart suddenly became empty.

On the other side, Xiao Qiyu sat back down.

His expression was in a trance. During this period, he was agitated and wanted to drink. He poured a glass to drink, but found that it was not wine, but sweet soup.

He felt bitter in his heart, so he found another pot of wine and poured a glass. He was about to drink it, but was held down by Mu Yuntao.

"My lord, you can't drink. You can only drink sweet soup or warm water. Xiaoqi specifically told me before that if you come, let me watch you and never drink. Drinking will hurt your health. In order to make you healthy as soon as possible,

You must follow the doctor’s orders…”

Mu Yuntao muttered in his ear.

Xiao Qiyu's eyes flashed.

Oh, you are going to marry someone else as your bride, but you still care about his life and death?

She is really very lenient.

But just because she is his doctor.

Thinking about this, he found that his heart felt more and more bitter, but he didn't want to drink anymore. Instead, he took a few sips of sweet soup. However, the taste couldn't offset the bitterness at all.

"Yuntao, go and tell her: I want to see her and I have something to ask...invite her to meet her at Ruyixuan..."

He asked Mu Yuntao to deliver the message.

Mu Yuntao was stunned for a moment, thinking of what Yan Wuhen had said before: "His Royal Highness likes your seventh girl, but he hates the Emperor for marrying mandarin ducks randomly and missing His Highness's good match..."

Now His Highness is in a bad mood. It seems true. It's just that His Highness wants to have a private affair with a married woman. Isn't this inappropriate?

If word gets out, this is an insult to a woman's integrity.

As a brother, he must defend his sister's reputation.

But he still ran to deliver the message, and quietly pulled Xiao Qi to a quiet place to talk.

Mu Yunjiang was silent for a moment and responded: "I understand, I will handle this matter..."

When the engagement banquet ended, it was already the moonlight above the willow trees.

Xiao Qiyu stood alone under the willow tree outside the gate of Jinyang Hou Mansion. He saw the female members of the Mu family coming out, smiling, talking softly, and being extremely gentle.

Mu Yunjiang was dressed very beautifully today, with a charming smile and beautiful eyes. The groom-to-be, Luo Xunyang, was saying goodbye to her beside her.

Luo Xunyang said pleasantly: "Ajiang, I will bring some interesting things to you tomorrow. You will definitely like them after reading them."

Mu Yunjiang whispered a few words into Luo Xunyang's ear.

The two of them looked like a couple of gods and gods, a perfect match.

Soon, the female relatives got into the car.

Mu Yuntao drove the car himself.

The carriage passed in front of Xiao Qiyu.

Just in time, Mu Yunjiang raised the curtains and looked out, and happened to meet his deep eyes. The next second, she hung the curtains.

Now that she has made a promise, she must avoid suspicion in front of others...

Xiao Qiyu followed and left, heading to Ruyixuan.

Halfway through, someone chased me, as fast as the wind - the person who came was a martial arts master with excellent light skills.

Xiao Qiyu originally thought it was Mu Yunjiang who came, so he reined in the snowy horse. When he turned around to look, he found that it was Su Yue who came and Mu Yunjiang was not there.

"I have met the prince."

Su Yue bowed respectfully.

He glanced in that direction again: "Isn't your girl here?"

"The girl didn't come, let Su Yue reply."

His heart sank: "Say."

"The girl said: I have been paired with someone. In the future, if it is not necessary, please do not ask for an edict from Your Highness. I will do my best to investigate the matter that Your Highness is investigating. If I find anything, I will report it to Su Yue on your behalf..."

She reproduced the girl's original words, word for word, exactly.

Xiao Qiyu's eyes flickered slightly.
