"Quick, stop her!" Yang Chuxia said hurriedly to the maid.
But how could the maid stop her? Just as her fist was about to land on Mu Nianchengâs face, Mu Niancheng caught it.
"I did call out as agreed." Mu Niancheng said, "You canât just go back on your word like this."
"How dare you say that? Is that what I asked you to shout?" Qi Yunqiao was furious, "How dare you trick me? Just you wait!"
The two of them were quarreling noisily at the gate of Prince Anâs Mansion. Ye Haoyang, seeing the situation, stepped forward to pull Qi Yunqiao away and gave Mu Niancheng a look, signaling him to leave quickly.
Mu Niancheng nodded and said to Yang Dongxue behind him, "Aunt, Iâll go back and prepare, let my parents come for a proposal."
Yang Dongxue: ...
"Cousin, donât let him leave, stop him, make him explain to me."
Ye Haoyang, gripping her arm, scolded, "Quiet down. Donât you see so many people here? Whatâs the fuss about?"
Once Mu Niancheng left, the group returned to the mansion.
Yang Chuxia was laughing cheerfully.
Even Baili Han, who was playing chess with Ye Ziâan, knew about the commotion outside.
"Crack..." A chess piece was crushed in his hand, "I knew that cheeky brat had a problem. When saving Yunqiao, he was more eager than me."
"Itâs normal for men and women to get married, isnât it?" Ye Ziâan said, "I watched Chengcheng grow up, heâs a good kid, just a bit quiet. He complements Yunqiao with one being active and the other being quiet."
"No way!" Baili Han waved his hand without thinking, "Yunqiao has to go back to Great Qi. If she marries into your family, I might feel relieved, but I donât trust other families."
Heâs not worried about the affairs in Great Zhou, since the two dynasties have been on friendly terms.
The main issue is, he doesnât know what kind of person Commandery Princess Dongyang is; Yunqiaoâs temperament needs someone who can be accommodating.
If she returns to Great Qi, no one would dare neglect a royal princess wherever she marries.
In Great Zhou, although her status is respected, it canât be openly shown.
Most importantly, the agreement signed back then stated that the two dynasties wouldnât have intermarriages. How would he explain marrying his daughter over now?
"Whatâs there to be worried about?" Ye Ziâan said, "Mu Shaoling and Dongyang have been in Funan these years. From what they say, they plan to go back to Funan. They wonât be living together, so why worry Yunqiao will be bullied? Moreover, with Yunqiaoâs temperament, itâs good enough if she doesnât bully others."
After pausing, Ye Ziâan continued, "Besides, if youâre still uneasy after they get married, you can stay in Capital City to keep an eye on things. Anyway, youâre not going back to Great Qi."
Baili Han was clearly swayed but didnât speak.
When they arrived at the main hall, Qi Yunqiao was still fuming.
Being played like that was truly outrageous.
Seeing this, Baili Han said, "Daughter, if that boy really dares to come later, Dad will help you give him a beating."
"I knew Dad is the best." Qi Yunqiao went forward and hugged his arm.
Mu Niancheng seemed to act quickly, returning in less than two hours.
In fact, he had prepared the proposalâs items the night before, and even informed Dongyang, dragging Mu Shaoling and Dongyang along as soon as he got back.
Mu Shaoling was still feeling gloomy, wondering how the two got together so quickly.
Now, when marrying a daughter-in-law and proposing, the groomâs side has to bow. Bowing to Baili Han felt incredibly awkward to him.
That old donkeyâs skin must be feeling particularly smug.
"My daughter wonât marry your son!" Indeed, as soon as Baili Han entered, he snapped.
