Chapter five hundred and seventy-two missed

 Liu Mingzhi spat out a mouthful of tea and almost coughed without taking a breath.

After taking a few sluggish breaths, Young Master Liu looked at Liu Xuan, who had a pretty helpless face across from him, with an expression of shock.

"What? What did you say? Tell me again about Miss Ren. What happened to her?"

Liu Xuan took out an exquisite handkerchief embroidered with orchids from her cuffs, and wiped the water stains on her cheeks and hair with a depressed expression.

"Brother, isn't it Miss Ren who is getting married? Are you so shocked?"

Liu Mingzhi looked at the helpless little girl with an embarrassed expression. He hurriedly took out his handkerchief and stood up and walked towards Liu Xuan, helping her wipe the tea sprayed on her cheeks and hair.

"Xuan'er, don't be angry, don't be angry.

It was an accident. It was just an accident. When I first heard the news, I couldn't control my emotions for a moment. Don't be angry, don't be angry."

Liu Mingzhi helped Liu Xuan wipe away the water stains on her black hair, then walked to his seat and sat down with a sullen expression.

"Accident, really an accident."

Liu Xuan casually put the handkerchief back into her cuffs, combed her tea-wet hair a few times with her slender jade fingers, and glared at Young Master Liu angrily.

"It is normal for male students to get married and female students to get married. Isn't it normal for any girl to get married?

You yourself said just now that Miss Ren is just a good friend of yours.

Since Miss Ren is just a good friend, isn't she just leaving the court to marry someone else? Are you making such a fuss?

Brother, don’t you think your reaction is a little too abnormal?”

When Young Master Liu heard the younger sister's unkind questioning, he picked up the teacup and put it towards his mouth. However, when he handed the teacup to his mouth, he realized that the tea in the cup had already reached the bottom.

Liu Mingzhi put the teacup back to its original position, then reached out and untied the tobacco pouch from his waist, took out the shredded tobacco from the pouch and stuffed it directly into the pot.

"Brother...brother...brother I haven't seen Miss Ren for so long. After all, it was just an acquaintance. I was a little surprised when I suddenly learned the news that she was getting married from you.

This is human nature, completely human nature.

When you suddenly learn that an old friend of yours whom you haven't seen for a long time is getting married, or is getting married, you will have the same reaction as my brother."

After listening to Mr. Liu's specious explanation, Liu Xuan nodded gently: "Maybe it's what you said, brother, but Xuan'er still feels that your reaction seems a little excessive."

"Hey, I told you, it's only human nature."

Young Master Liu casually responded to Liu Xuan's words, took out the fire stick and lit the shredded tobacco in the smoke pot, smashed his lips and took a few puffs of smoke.

Gently exhaling the smoke lingering in his mouth, Liu Mingzhi put away the fire sticks and stood up, walked to the edge of the pavilion, stopped, and couldn't help but look at a certain courtyard in the inner courtyard of Liu Mansion.

After staring at the empty courtyard in silence for a long time, Liu Mingzhi took a long puff of dry cigarette.

"Girl Ren, it's true. We have known each other for so many years. Even if we are not life-long friends, we can be regarded as close friends.

She didn't know that someone would send us an invitation to inform us of such an important event in her life.

Even if we can't attend the banquet in person, we can at least send someone to give her a congratulatory gift to express our feelings.

The result is not bad. If it weren't for Xuan'er who came back to the capital for the holidays and told me the news, I wouldn't have known about her getting married.

That's all, since they didn't send anyone to inform us about this, we just pretended not to know that she was getting married. In this way, we also saved several gifts!

Alas, it seems that this girl does not regard her eldest brother and your sister-in-law as friends at all!

After all, it's just a casual friendship with her, there's nothing to care about, nothing to care about."

"Yeah, yeah, brother, you are right. She didn't even send an invitation to say that she was getting married. She definitely didn't treat us as friends.

In this case, we really have nothing to worry about. Brother, you are more open-minded, and I admire you."

Liu Mingzhi's face suddenly stiffened when he heard Liu Xuan's echoing words, and he smoked the shredded tobacco in the pot into ashes in one breath.

There was ashes on the soles of the shoes, and Mr. Liu skillfully filled a pot of cut tobacco and lit it with a fire stick.

"Actually...actually, it's possible that what we said was too arbitrary. The reason why Miss Ren didn't send us an invitation might be due to other reasons.

For example, Shu is too far away from the capital. She actually sent us an invitation, but the person who came to send the invitation is still on the way. Another example...another example..."

"Brother, it was already three months ago when my little sister met her by chance.

Three months have passed now. No matter how far Shu is from the capital, the person who sent the invitation will not be able to reach the capital for more than three months, right?

In my opinion, it must be Miss Ren who didn’t send us an invitation at all.”

"What? It's been so long?"

"Of course, what do you think?"

"Then the day you met by chance in Shu, did she tell you when she would get married?

Did she tell you who her future husband is? What is his moral character? What is his family background like?

She has lived in the capital for so long, and she doesn't know if she can adapt to the local climate after getting married.

Especially the other person's moral character. Although Ren Yatou is extremely smart, what if she is blinded by love and marries a hypocrite?

Also, she has lived in our family for so many years without worrying about food and clothing. If her future husband’s family background is not good, will she not be able to get used to such a hard life after she gets married?"

"She seems to have told me about the auspicious day for her marriage, but not about the other things."

"When...when will you get married?"

"Xuan'er can't remember the specific day clearly. She was probably talking about the beginning of August. Oh, it's been more than three months, and I can't remember clearly either.

It seems to be around early August.

Judging by the time, it seems that she has been married for many days now and has become a married woman. However, we have not received her invitation. She must not regard us as friends. "

Don't mention her anymore, don't mention her anymore. It's in vain, brother, that you let her live in our house for so long. I didn't expect that she doesn't care about the slightest friendship.

People like her are not worth talking about as brothers and sisters."

Liu Mingzhi's arm holding the cigarette rod trembled slightly, and he withdrew his eyes from staring at the courtyard in the distance with a lonely expression.

"Already...already married?"

"Yes, today is August 15th, and the auspicious day for her to leave the court is on one of the first days of August. She must have become a certain man's wife by now.

Maybe, she is accompanying her husband now, preparing to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Liu Mingzhi's lips kept puckering, and his eyes were filled with confusion.

It feels like a world away, but I still missed it after all!

Perhaps, this outcome is a good thing for both of them, at least they can fully understand their own knots.
