Xixia Kingdom, the imperial capital.
In an inn.
Murong Fu, Deng Baichuan, Gong Yeqian, Bao Bubutong, and Feng Boxie gathered together and looked at a wedding invitation on the table.
The wedding invitation came from Yanziwu and was urgently sent by A'Zhu.
"What do you mean by this?" Bao Tongtong frowned and said in a deep voice, "She clearly knows Miss Wang's feelings for the young master, how could she do that?"
Murong Fu stared at Li Xianyu's name on the wedding invitation, hesitant.
He was extremely impressed by Li Xianyu.
This time I came to Xixia all because I listened to Li Xianyu's words.
"This Li Xianyu is not a simple person." Deng Baichuan said.
The battle of Juxianzhuang has spread throughout the world.
Li Xianyu's name is also widely circulated.
"Hmph, he's just a scholar who can only talk. He's not even worthy of carrying our young master's shoes." Feng Bo snorted coldly. What he despised most was a scholar who could only talk.
"Second brother Gongye, third brother Bao." Murong Fu looked at Gongye Qian and Bao Bubu and said slowly, "You guys go back to Gusu and test my aunt's attitude."
"Okay." Gongye Qian and Bao Bubu nodded.
Bao BuTong asked: "Do you want to kill this person named Li?"
Murong Fu frowned, shook his head, and said, "No need for now, let's first determine what happened over there."
"If Miss Wang asks about the young master..." Gong Yeqian showed hesitation.
"Don't tell others before the big thing is accomplished." Murong Fu said calmly.
“……”
Gusu City, Mantuo Villa.
In the evening, the sun sets.
Li Qingluo stood on a high pavilion, looking at her daughters Wang Yuyan and Li Xianyu who were walking side by side in the flowers below, and felt inexplicably unhappy.
It has been almost ten days since the wedding invitations were sent out, but no news has been received.
This made her increasingly irritated.
She had a bad temper. In the past, when she often went out by boat to look for Duan Zhengchun, she would often kill some unscrupulous people to express her inner annoyance.
these days.
She stayed at Mantuo Villa for the whole time, but the depression in her chest could not be released.
At this moment, seeing his daughter walking with Li Xianyu, I felt inexplicably dazzling and wanted to break this scene.
"This little pervert may have fed Yan'er some kind of ecstasy."
Li Qingluo snorted softly, turned around and went downstairs.
It didn't take long.
Blocked in front of Wang Yuyan and Li Xianyu.
"Mother." Wang Yuyan shouted, her cheeks a little red.
Li Xianyu glanced at Li Qingluo and caught a glimpse of Li Qingluo's nails, confirming that they were the real Li Qingluo and not A'Zhu pretending.
In recent days, A'Zhu has come here less frequently, but every time he comes, he always appears and disappears.
He boldly pretended to be Li Qingluo once before, but Li Xianyu was shocked.
"Auntie." Li Xianyu called.
Li Qingluo had no expression on her face and said first: "Your wedding is coming soon. At this time, you should avoid suspicion."
"Avoid suspicion?" Li Xianyu's eyelids twitched.
In ancient times, men and women did need to avoid suspicion and not see each other before they got married.
Wang Yuyan lowered her head and her cheeks turned redder.
As a well-educated and courteous young lady, she naturally knew better than to avoid suspicion between the two of them before getting married.
"Auntie, we are all children of the world, so we should be informal." Li Xianyu said with a grin.
Li Qingluo sneered: "You used to be a scholar, don't you feel ashamed to say this?"
Li Xianyu's face twitched slightly and he said in a low voice, "We agreed before that Yu Yan will guide my practice every day."
"Yu Yan? You are so intimate." Li Qingluo felt even more unhappy and said angrily, "The wedding is less than twenty days away. I will have plenty of time to give you advice after we get married."
After saying that, she looked at Wang Yuyan and ordered: "From tomorrow on, you will stay in your own yard and you are not allowed to go to Langhuan Jade Cave again before you get married."
"...Oh." Wang Yuyan said softly, her cheeks very red.
"You go back first." Li Qingluo said.
"Oh." Wang Yuyan lowered her head and left.
Li Xianyu frowned, feeling very unhappy.
Li Qingluo had no expression on her face, but she felt secretly happy in her heart. Especially when she saw Li Xianyu's dissatisfied look, she felt a morbid pleasure of 'beating a mandarin duck' with a stick.
"Junior also said goodbye." Li Xianyu muttered, turned around and left.
"Wait a minute." Li Qingluo called out to Li Xianyu.
Li Xianyu stopped and glanced sideways at Li Qingluo, guessing that this woman was trying to trick someone else.
Li Qingluo looked a little unnatural and said: "It has been more than ten days since the wedding invitations were sent out, but there is no response at all from Henan and Dali."
"No response?" Li Xianyu raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "That would be difficult."
Li Qingluo's heart tightened and she said in a low voice: "It was you who said that Duan... Duan Zhengchun was in Luoyang, Henan."
"Back then you said you wanted Yu Yan to guide me in my cultivation every day." Li Xianyu sneered.
Li Qingluo frowned and looked at Li Xianyu lightly.
Li Xianyu returned the cold gaze, feeling unhappy.
These days, he and Wang Yuyan get along very harmoniously.
It's just a little bit closer to breaking the distance between lips.
Now that you start to 'avoid suspicion', wouldn't all the previous flirting be in vain?
"This little bastard will make you look good one day." Li Qingluo cursed secretly, took a deep breath, changed her expression, smiled, and said, "You are the only man in the entire Mantuo Villa, and I have no restrictions. your freedom.
When you need advice, are you afraid that you can't find Yan'er? "
Li Xianyu also smiled and said gently: "Prince Duan has a special status. Even if he receives the wedding invitation, he will not respond."
"What do you mean?" Li Qingluo frowned, not understanding.
Li Xianyu said: "With Prince Duan's intelligence, the moment he received the wedding invitation, he must have guessed that this was a plan to 'invite you to the urn'.
Yuyan is his..., as long as he still has some friendship with you, even if he knows that you have set up a trap in Mantuo Villa, he will still come and try. "
Li Qingluo's face softened and she felt relieved.
Li Xianyu continued: "He came here to attend the wedding banquet, and he had two options.
One is to come here with great fanfare and as the king of Dali Zhennan.
The second is to remain calm and come quietly. "
"Is there any difference?" Li Qingluo asked.
"If he chooses to come here with great fanfare, he will definitely send you a reply." Li Xianyu muttered, "He will have at least 180 guards around him by then. It will be difficult for you to keep him."
"That's invisible." Li Qingluo disagreed and said confidently, "As long as he dares to come to my Mantuo Villa, even if he brings a thousand soldiers and horses, I will still be able to capture them."
"You still don't understand what I mean." Li Xianyu shook his head and said, "Even if you can deal with the guards he brought, what you leave behind will not be Duan Zhengchun, but the King of Dali Zhennan."
"What do you mean?" Li Qingluo frowned, is there any difference?
Li Xianyu knew that Li Qingluo's IQ was limited, so he explained patiently: "If he really comes here as the King of Zhennan, and if he cannot go back in time, Dali officials will definitely come to investigate later, and he may even alert the Song Dynasty court, causing Diplomatic events between the two countries.
Once things get serious, the eminent monks from Dali Tianlong Temple may be dispatched to come here to ask for people. "
"The eminent monk of Tianlong Temple..." Li Qingluo's heart trembled. She was not so arrogant that even Tianlong Temple looked down upon her.
"According to what you say, I can't keep him?" Li Qingluo looked at Li Xianyu, a little irritated.
"Don't worry." Li Xianyu smiled, "If Prince Duan was still a man, he would not come here as the King of Dali Zhennan.
He will come secretly. If you have the ability to keep him when the time comes, the eminent monks from Tianlong Temple will never have the shame to come and ask for you.
Even if they come to ask for someone, you don’t have to admit it. "
"That's it."
Li Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief.
"What you should worry about is not whether he will come, but how to keep him after he comes." Li Xianyu said leisurely, "Don't underestimate Prince Duan, he is smart."
Li Qingluo glanced at Li Xianyu and asked hesitantly: "Can you help me keep him?"
Li Xianyu paused. It was already bad enough to have a cheap mother-in-law, but he didn't want to have more cheap father-in-laws.
"It's not convenient for juniors to come forward for this kind of thing. You still have to rely on yourself, aunt."
"I can still keep him without you." Li Qingluo snorted. Over the years, she has thought of no less than a hundred ways to keep Duan Zhengchun.
Li Xianyu smiled and said, "Then I hope Auntie's wishes will come true."
Li Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as I see Duan Lang again, I will never let him slip away from me again!
Even if you break his legs, you must keep him!
"Then I'll take my leave now, junior."
"Yeah." Li Qingluo hummed softly, then suddenly thought of something, and quickly stopped Li Xianyu, "Wait a minute."
Li Xianyu had no choice but to look at Li Qingluo and asked angrily: "What's wrong?"
"According to you, no response is good news?" Li Qingluo glanced at Li Xianyu and asked, "What if he really didn't receive the wedding invitation and didn't know that Yan'er was getting married?"
"This..." Li Xianyu paused and said, "The possibility is very small."
"The possibility is very small... that is to say, there is still such a possibility." Li Qingluo's face was not so good, and she said coldly, "I will never allow this possibility to exist."
Li Xianyu glanced at Li Qingluo. When he heard the words 'I will never allow this possibility to exist', a line from a TV series he had seen in his previous life appeared in his mind:
Jingzhou does not allow such awesome people to exist.
"Then continue to send out wedding invitations widely." Li Xianyu said casually.
Li Qingluo's eyes flashed and she said slowly: "Even if I continue to send wedding invitations, as long as I don't get a reply, I'm still worried."
Li Xianyu was speechless and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"
"Find him and hand the wedding invitation to him personally!"
