Zhou Yifu's face turned pale and he tried to explain: "I don't know why Madam came to such a conclusion. I didn't bother you.
I really don’t know, Her Royal Highness the Princess is so much older than me, and I am a man, so I will not inquire about her birth for no reason..."
Mu Yunhan made a gesture to signal him to stop talking: "No need to explain, please come back after dinner on Tuesday."
She stood up and walked out, leaving Zhou Yifu and Gu Fenglin, who were uneasy, looking at each other.
Zhou Yifu was indeed a little aggrieved. He looked at Gu Fenglin and tried to force out a smile, but his smile was uglier than crying.
Gu Fenglin helplessly spread her hands towards him, expressing that there was nothing she could do to help him.
Zhou Yifu did not ask Gu Fenglin for help or express his grievances. After a moment of silence, he stood up and said, "My farewell, I wish you peace and success."
Gu Fenglin quickly persuaded him to stay: "Let's eat before we leave."
Zhou Yifu was still young after all. His face turned red and he just shook his head: "No, I'm not hungry."
With that said, he quickly walked out.
Mu Ying happened to come in from outside. When she saw him, she said, "It's time to eat. Where are we going?"
She has long curving eyelashes, clear eyes, ghostly spirit, delicate and beautiful appearance. It can be said that she becomes more and more outstanding day by day.
Zhou Yifu felt sad and forced a smile and said: "Suddenly I remembered that there is something urgent, so I need to take a step first."
Mu Ying tried her best to persuade him to stay: "That doesn't mean I won't have to eat. The food is ready."
Zhou Yifu looked at her, with a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't say a single word. He could only lower his head and said: "Let's do it another day."
He left in a hurry and heard Mu Ying say behind him: "I have recently obtained a batch of books. You can take a look when I return to the city."
"Okay." He choked on his throat, said this with great difficulty, and fled as fast as he could.
Mu Ying looked at his back, stopped smiling, and walked into the room: "Brother-in-law."
Gu Fenglin nodded: "He left?"
Mu Ying said: "Yes, I let him eat, but he refused."
Gu Fenglin said: "What do you think? Your sister is not here, so you can speak freely."
Mu Ying said: "I think it's okay. But if I say how satisfied or fond I am, like you and sister, I don't have it.
If you don't meet someone you like more in the future, it may not be impossible to live with him.
My sister forced him to choose between his family and us. He didn't make the choice right away, but used a tactful and procrastinating method. I think it's okay.
It would be terrible if he sold his relatives without hesitation just to please us.
I invite him to continue to come to my house to read, so he will continue to think about this issue after he goes back, and he will be able to see his choice in a few days."
She said to Gu Fenglin seriously: "When will we discuss this issue?"
Gu Fenglin agreed: "Yes, your sister means the same thing. You have to remember that character is more important and more reliable than intelligence."
Mu Ying said: "I remember. The situation is so critical, what are your plans?"
Gu Fenglin said: "Of course, do you still remember what I said to you before?"
Mu Ying solemnly said: "You said that even if I can't be a help to my sister, I can't be a drag on her.
But in fact, I will be her helper and do things for her that she can't do, is inconvenient to do, and doesn't want to do."
When the girl said this, her eyes were extremely calm.
If Mu Yunhan saw it, she would be surprised to find that this was a completely different Mu Ying from her perception.
