Chapter 130 Contract
Ying Yu asked again.
This sound brought Mu Yunyun back to her senses.
She looked up and met Ying Yu's eyes, her expression unusually serious.
Under her gaze, Ying Yu unconsciously tensed up.
“Lord Yingze is of noble character and noble status, while I am but a humble person born in the mountains and forests. How could I possibly be worthy of such a high position? Even if you do not mind, I am still too young.”
Is this a rejection?
That's the Ying family!
Everyone looked astonished.
The young patriarch of the Ying clan in Beihai will one day rule the entire Beihai. As an ancient clan, who would refuse such a position?
For the sake of the prosperity of both clans, the Dijiang clan had proposed the idea of Di Yao and Ying Ze forming a pact on numerous occasions.
How could we possibly accept such a great opportunity being offered up so readily and then rejected?
Even Ying Yu didn't expect to be rejected, and with this reason: "You're overthinking it, my lady. Throughout history, clan covenants and agreements have always been prepared well in advance. How could it be considered too early?"
"It's also because I'm afraid Lord Yingze will be wronged. It wouldn't be good for him to leave his ancestral home at such a young age. And I've always treated him like a younger brother, I've never thought of anything else."
Upon hearing this, Ying Ze couldn't sit still any longer!
He had a bad temper to begin with, and at such a young age, he couldn't hold back and stood up abruptly.
"You! You're utterly shameless!" He blushed and pointed at her, cursing, "Back then, in the hunting grounds, you were looking for the antidote and groped me all over. Now you're making excuses for it. You're completely irresponsible!"
"Ze'er!"
"I'm going to tell you anyway!" Ying Ze didn't care and suddenly exploded in anger: "I dare to swear to the Ancestor that if I tell a single lie, may I die from exhaustion of spiritual energy."
hiss--
The young ladies at the banquet were all stunned.
He even forgot to drink the wine.
I never expected such a thing to happen; it's utterly shocking.
Hu Erzhuang could no longer sit still: "Lord Yingze, what kind of talk is this? That day, the lady was only impolite in a moment of panic. If it weren't for you, sir..."
"All right."
Mu Yunyun interrupted Hu Erzhuang.
As soon as she spoke, everyone fell silent.
The scene froze.
All that could be heard was the rustling of the autumn wind through the branches in the mountains.
"Indeed, I was the one who was rude first."
"Lady!" Hu Erzhuang wanted to speak again, but wasn't this forcing someone?
"Please forgive me, sir. I did not consider things carefully. It is indeed better to form a sworn brotherhood sooner rather than later. However, there are many trivial matters in the clan. How about we set it for next month?"
Is this a promise?
Ying Yu's eyes held a subtle expression.
He had originally intended to take things slowly and not rush things, but he hadn't expected Ze'er's temper...
He sighed. Things had escalated to this point, and even if it wasn't what he wanted, there was no going back.
"The end of next month will be a good day."
"Then let's do it at the end of next month."
Mu Yunyun stood up, not intending to stay any longer, and bowed: "The banquet is not over yet, so it is inconvenient for me to stay any longer. I hope you will not take offense, sir."
Ying Yu nodded: "Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."
Wait for someone to leave.
The table then returned to normal.
There was whispering, inquiring, and people pulling others aside for questioning; it was quite a commotion.
Ying Yu was embarrassed and didn't want to stay and become a laughing stock, so he had no choice but to resign and leave with Ying Ze.
......
"Father..."
On the way back, Ying Ze noticed that Ying Yu's expression was not good, and he knew in his heart that he had said something wrong.
He's just too impatient.
"It's not your fault." Ying Yu was reluctant to scold his son. "You're young, and it's understandable that you act rashly without thinking things through. Fortunately, Consort Nü is kind-hearted and doesn't hold grudges. She's willing to accept this, so others won't gossip. It's just that..."
"Just what?"
