In the end, Nangong Waner's heart was a little bigger, but the adults were all embarrassed and pretended to be calm. Nangong Waner still had a normal expression, and his appetite was overflowing. Only Nangong Waner was enjoying his meal joyfully. With Mistress Xiao's white eyes on the table as a warning, Xiao Ze gave Nangong Waner some food and wholeheartedly thought about how it felt to take care of Assistant Minister's family.
But only Nangong Waner could eat his meal without a care in the world. The four adults all had their own thoughts.
Nangong Waner saw that the expressions of Assistant Minister and his wife were not as natural as usual, but he felt that the Assistant Minister and his wife were truly pitiful to have such a daughter, they even had to worry so much about marriage, but he was still someone out of place, and had only planned to buy five male servants to spend the rest of his life with.
With a little guilt in his heart, Nangong Waner put in more effort in showing off. He sat properly and ate gracefully, his speech very well-deserved. Occasionally, even Madam Xiao would ask a question, and Nangong Waner would answer it very carefully and in an orderly manner.
Even though Xiao Ze had worked hard to resolve the situation, he still could not withstand Master Xiao's cold face and ignored Madam Xiao's scheming to interrogate him. No matter how thick-skinned the Assistant Minister couple were, they would not be able to stay any longer after eating.
Thus, after a quick meal, the Assistant Minister couple hurriedly brought Nangong Waner back to the residence. In the carriage on the way back, Nangong Waner wanted to confess that he did not have any thoughts about Xiao Ze, furthermore, Liu Zhi Zun liked Xiao Ze, and Assistant Minister and his wife were completely wrong about the Lovers Peak, but after thinking about it, Liu Zhi Zun was after all, a young miss that had not left the pavilion, so if these words were to spread, Liu Zhi Zun's reputation would not be good.
"Father, Mother, I don't like Xiao Ze at all. We are just friends. After hesitating for a while, Nangong Waner thought of an excuse.
The Lord Assistant Minister was silent and did not speak. No one knew what he was thinking, but when Madam Yang heard this, he understood that his daughter finally understood the intentions of the Xiao Family. He also misunderstood that his daughter was feeling somewhat wronged by the Xiao Family's cold treatment. "Wan Er, don't fuss about it with that Madam Xiao. Your father was originally a student who took the great examination with that Lord Xiao, and the two of them were on good terms with each other, which was why you decided on this child's marriage. Indeed, there is a gap between Assistant Minister’s Residence and the Xiao Clan today, and we did not even want to enter into this marriage, but your parents were able to tell that you and Xiao Ze are in love with each other. Madam Yang looked at Nangong Waner with an expression of helplessness and grief, as if he was somewhat able to endure it and began to console Nangong Waner. "Wan Er, Father and Mother will think of a way eventually. "You don't have to be anxious. Don't be angry and attack your heart."
Nangong Waner looked at Madam Yang and Lord Assistant Minister who were both depressed. He wanted to explain a few things, but he was afraid that the more he tried to explain, the more he would misunderstand.
Nangong Waner sighed deeply from the bottom of his heart, and didn't say anything more. However, news of Assistant Minister’s Residence going to the Xiao Residence to eat had spread out quietly, even including the fact that Nangong Waner and Xiao Ze had children's families since they were young.
Strangely, when the Assistant Minister’s Residence and Xiao Residence did not come out to explain what had happened, the rumors spread even more violently than before until, as the rumors went on, the two families had already become united. Nangong Waner's fate was beneficial to Xiao Ze in every aspect, so even if the marriage was set, when the parents of the two parties decided on a good date, Nangong Waner would be carried into the Xiao Residence.
There were some civil and military officials in the imperial court who curiously listened to the gossip and wanted to seek confirmation from Master Xiao. Master Xiao really wanted to deny it, but Lord Assistant Minister had a marriage contract, Master Xiao naturally did not want people to say that he was the one who went back on his words. Master Xiao always deliberately avoided this topic.
Because of this, the Lord Assistant Minister had to rely on Nangong Waner's reputation, and if there were no changes in his words, the Lord Assistant Minister would also avoid him.
As for Nangong Waner, the female lead of the Eight Trigrams, she had long trained her indestructible body and told him that she was a goddess, so she did not care too much about it and naturally did not care about it.
Because of all these, the news of Nangong Waner and Xiao Ze being married was getting more and more popular.
However, Nangong Waner did not mind at all. After class that afternoon, he went to find Xiao Ze and Liu Zhe. The three of them went to the opera garden to fetch Qingfeng.
When the four of them were eating, Nangong Waner proposed to stroll around Spring Mountain tomorrow. "I heard that on this Spring Mountain, the spring water is very sweet and Shangjing City is rather famous. Furthermore, there is a temple on Mount Qingquan. I heard that as long as your heart is sincere and you worship the deity within that temple, that deity will fulfill one of your wishes. "
"Wan Er, when did you become such a swindler? and you believe in worshiping gods? " Even if the news outside were to spread quickly, she did not hate Nangong Waner at all. She knew that Nangong Waner did not like her, and even if Nangong Waner married her, she would be happy for them if she married the best sister to the person she liked.
"Just go, and listen to me." As Nangong Waner spoke, he kept blinking his eyes, feeling as though her eyelids were going to spasm from blinking. Liu Zhi then agreed with her, "Oh, oh, I also heard that the Green Spring Mountain and the Green Spring Temple is very famous. Let's go there tomorrow."
As usual, Xiao Ze didn't have any objections, but Qing Feng looked at Nangong Waner thoughtfully. He didn't understand why she would suddenly go to the Green Spring Mountain.
After the four of them finished their meal, Nangong Waner took the initiative to send Qing Feng back, "Xiao Ze, you should go with me.
Qing Feng was very afraid. Ever since Nangong Waner had treated him so well for no reason, Qing Feng felt that he had to refuse her. "Assistant Minister’s Residence and the play garden are you on your way?" Qing Feng looked straight at Nangong Waner and asked.
"It's along the way, but it's something Lord Censor's residence took a detour to deliver to you. You can do it with a raise of your hand." Nangong Waner spoke as if he was helping others make them happy.
Qingfeng wanted to refuse, but he received a warning from Nangong Waner as his eyes rolled back.
Xiao Ze looked at Nangong Waner, with a profound look in his eyes, but in the end he did not say anything and headed back to the residence.
