Lin Yanran stood not far behind her, shook her head, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, seeing Yun'er's lonely back, she really had no appetite, so she took two snacks from the table and followed her out.
"Third sister-in-law?" Murong Yun turned around, and the tears that had already been in her eyes fell without warning.
When Lin Yanran saw Yun'er crying, she was a little overwhelmed for a moment. She walked straight over, stood opposite her, and said softly: "Yun'er, believe me, cousin Qingchu's will definitely be fine."
"Sister-in-law, I really have no idea. Cousin Qingchu is very stubborn."
Fidgeting with the pebbles in her hand blankly, Yun'er's eyes seemed unable to focus.
"Yun'er, I will help you." Lin Yanran gently held Murong Yun's cold little hand, trying to convey some warmth and confidence to her through her own hands.
At nightfall, the whole palace was full.
Shangguan Qingchu came to Murong Che's residence as invited. In the flower hall, a table full of tempting wine and food had already been placed.
"Yun'er, hurry up. No matter how sad you are, you still have to eat."
Shangguan Qingchu's heart was lightly touched. The sound came from the yard, and his heart began to beat wildly. Yun'er is here too?
Lin Yanran was serious and raised her voice as high as possible, hoping that her voice could reach the ears of someone sitting in the flower hall without missing a word: "Yun'er, don't keep a dark face. You secretly shed tears without telling me.
Why do you really treat third brother and third sister-in-law as outsiders?"
"Third sister-in-law, I..." Yun'er hesitated, knowing clearly that she just wanted to put on a show, but she couldn't get rid of the restlessness in her heart. She looked at Lin Yanran for help, her eyes still a little red as if asking
Her: Is this okay?
"Yun'er, you can't be soft-hearted, did you hear me? For your happiness, you must not cheat." Yanran lowered her voice, with a solemn look on her face.
Shangguan Qingchu was sitting at the dining table, his face as calm as ever, but his heart was rippling with uneasiness. Especially when he heard Yan Ran say that Yun'er secretly shed tears, the softest part of his heart seemed to be pricked by something.
"Cousin Qingchu is here?" Yanran smiled playfully. Without waiting for Shangguan Qingchu to answer, she turned to look at Murong Yun who had been dragged in by her: "Yun'er, why are you crying? You might as well tell us all, Qingchu
Cousin Chu is here too, we are all our own. Tell us and we can help you analyze it."
Yanran looked at Shangguan Qingchu again, with a little anxiety and confusion on her face. Seeing Shangguan Qingchu's expression change due to her words, she felt even more confident.
"Cousin Qingchu, Yun'er and you have a good conversation. Did she tell you what happened? I've been asking all afternoon, but I still can't get any answers. I'm really worried."
Yanran made a gesture and stamped her feet.
"I...I don't know either."
After a long silence, a few words came out of Shangguan Qingchu's mouth. His eyes glanced at Murong Yun intentionally or unintentionally. Sure enough, his eye circles were red. When he saw him looking at him, the resentment in his eyes became even more intense.
The solemnity made the self-blame in his heart deepen even further.
"Yun'er, stop crying. Tell third brother who bullied you, and I will definitely vent your anger on your behalf." Murong Che got a hint from his wife and started to fan the flames.
"I'm fine. Thank you Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law. Let's eat first."
Murong Yun looked at the calm face, and felt even more uneasy.
"Okay, let's eat, eat."
Murong Che tried to smooth things over, and then everyone took their seats.
In order not to make what she said later come out abrupt, Yanran and Murong Che started a casual chat. Shangguan Qingchu and Murong Yun had a surprisingly tacit understanding. Except for Yanran and Murong Che's sudden question, they refused to say anything more.
Word.
Murong Yun lowered her head and ate with a calm expression on her face, not even looking at Shangguan Qingchu who was sitting opposite him.
Shangguan Qingchu looked very calm, but occasionally he raised his head and glanced apologetically at Murong Yun, who was sitting opposite. Yanran saw all this, and she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law."
There were shouts and screams in the yard, and except for Shangguan Qingchu, the other three people felt nervous. Murong Mo's arrival was beyond their expectations, and they were really afraid that he would be disturbed by things later.
"Qingchu and Yun'er are here too. Oh, the food is quite rich. I originally came to see Sister-in-law, and she seems to be looking good, so I'll just eat here."
Murong Mo acted like a member of his own family, and directly asked Yu'er to take a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and unceremoniously sat down on the empty chair.
"What should I do?" Murong Che and Murong Yun glanced at Lin Yanran at the same time.
Lin Yanran looked at Murong Mo, then at the two of them, and shrugged. She couldn't drive Murong Mo out.
Halfway through the meal, Murong Che touched Yan Ran's elbow to indicate that she should start "acting".
Yanran smiled playfully and spoke like a nagging person: "Yun'er isn't young anymore, is she?"
Murong Mo spoke quickly. He felt bored just now after eating. Before Yun'er could answer, he said first, "You're not young anymore. It's time to get married."
"Fourth brother——" Murong Yun stopped her rice chopsticks and lightly kicked Murong Mo.
"What's this? That's what it is. By the way, Yun'er, I just heard today that my father asked you about the marriage proposal yesterday."
Murong Yun was a little embarrassed. Murong Mo's words made her already pretty face blush. Shangguan Qingchu, who was sitting opposite, was stunned for a moment when he heard Murong Mo's words. The blush on Murong Yun's face made him more certain.
The answer immediately made me feel like I had turned over a five-flavor bottle and I couldn’t tell what it was like.
Lin Yanran was just worried that Murong Mo would mess up her plan. Unexpectedly, although the play did not develop as she expected, Murong Mo's appearance not only did not seem like a mistake, but made the play more realistic.
"Yun'er, I heard what my father told you yesterday, is it true or false?" In order to implement his beloved wife's plan, and in order for Yun'er and Qingchu to finally get married, Murong Che risked his life to "
Acting" goes on to the end.
"That's right, Yun'er, you didn't tell me about such a big thing."
Lin Yanran pretended to be angry and peeked at Shangguan Qingchu. His cheeks twitched, and the chopsticks he had used to pick up the vegetables stopped in the air and he took them back hard.
"Forget it, let's not argue with you. Girls are inevitably shy." Yan Ran nodded thoughtfully, looking very understanding: "Did your father say who you want to marry me to?"
Yun'er shook her head, still not looking at Shangguan Qingchu, with a very indifferent expression: "Father reminded me, he just named a few people for me to consider. There are Lord Nangong's son Nangong Tian, and Lord Shen.
The son of the family, Shen Congwen..."
"Nangong Tian? What is your father doing?" Murong Mo was the first to jump up and vote against: "That guy is not much better than Jin Qiyan, but my father would actually mention him. And that Shen Congwen looks like a weak scholar, if I really follow her, I'm afraid my life will be very boring."
"Mo, how can you say that?" Lin Yanran curled her lips and disagreed with his opinion: "People change, and no one is always a bad person."
Murong Che thought for a moment: "Ran'er is right. In fact, Nangong Tian is not that bad. After marrying Yun'er, he probably won't be like this anymore. After all, Yun'er is the most beloved princess of the father. He should Don’t you dare.”
He glanced at Shangguan Qingchu again and said: "Shen Congwen, although he is weak, I think he is more reliable. Although Yun'er will be very lonely in the future, at least he will not bully Yun'er."
"Third brother, you are also stupid!" Murong Mo didn't even have the appetite now, "Anyway, I don't think highly of them at all. If I really follow them, will Yun'er be happy in this life?"
"Yun'er, who do you think is better?" Murong Che chose to ignore Murong Mo's words and left the decision-making power directly to Murong Yun.
Murong Yun, who had been pretending to be quiet, raised her head, glanced at everyone, and finally cast her eyes on Shangguan Qingchu, with a hint of resentment in her tone: "Me? I don't think it matters now. Anyway, they are all the same." There is happiness at all, so what does it matter who you choose to be your horse?"
"How can this not matter!" Yan Ran scolded. She glanced at Shangguan Qingchu. Shangguan Qingchu's face was ugly, as if he had been suppressing something. Then she said: "Cousin Qingchu is silent today. Let's all stay together. Let's choose a suitable husband for Yun'er. Cousin, tell me your opinions, Nangongtian or Shen Congwen, which one do you think is more suitable?"
"This..." Shangguan Qingchu never expected that Yanran would throw this question to him, and was speechless for a moment: "I think Princess Yun should make her own decision."
Yun'er was really speechless this time. He actually didn't care about her and let her make her own choice. He looked at Lin Yanran with pleading eyes.
"Oh, they say that men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. I'm really afraid that Yun'er will be like this."
Lin Yanran sighed heavily, with a look of helplessness on her face.
"No." Shangguan Qingchu bit his lip and stared at Yun'er.
"How could it not be possible? After careful calculation, I found out that most of the men in the capital are talented and good-natured, and most of them are already married. There are really not many who match Yun'er."
Pulling her fingers together, Yanran's expression was very serious, "Yun'er, I think Nangong Tian is better than Shen Congwen. At least he won't make you bored. With your temper, Shen Congwen can't say a few words in a day. You must not go crazy?"
"Third sister-in-law, I..." Seeing Shangguan Qingchu biting her lip without revealing her feelings at all, Yun'er really couldn't bear it.
"If Nangong Tian is not good, she will be wronged." Murong Mo stopped Yun'er's words.
"Then who do you think is better?" Lin Yanran looked at Murong Mo disapprovingly: "I can't find a suitable candidate."
"If you ask me, now it seems that Qingchu is more suitable. Yun'er might as well tell my father to give you to Shangguan Qingchu."
