Three more days passed, and the turmoil in Hu's house gradually subsided. Because Hu Weiyong was a loyal man, it was an unexpected blessing that he was reused by the Holy Emperor.
In the past three days, Hu Miaomiao said that she wanted to recuperate and stayed away from home all day long. In fact, it was to hide from the Xian King.
Even if he didn't say it, Hu Miaomiao's fear of him could not be eliminated in a day or two.
Moreover, Hu Miaomiao also heard about Dong Yuankai's tragic situation, and felt even more uneasy.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly, which was a rare good weather.
Because Hu Miaomiao didn't go out for a few days, the girl from the Li family came to see her.
Li Yan and Hu Miaomiao are close friends and have always had a good relationship.
Li Yan is a few months older and has a calmer temperament. She takes a dominant position in their relationship and takes good care of Hu Miaomiao.
"Miaomiao, have you heard that the Hou Mansion wants you to marry as soon as possible to celebrate Dong Yuankai's wedding?"
At this point, Li Yan became extremely angry, "Everyone in the capital doesn't know that Dong Yuankai has become a shameless monster. He scared so many maids from the Hou Mansion to tears. He still wants to marry you?"
Before this, Li Yan had no good impression of Dong Yuankai. After all, a person's reputation will spread.
I have long heard that Dong Yuankai had more than one concubine, but there is no evidence.
"Miaomiao, what do your parents think? Do they really want to marry you off?"
Hu Miaomiao sighed slightly and said with a wry smile: "My parents want to break off the engagement, but the Marquis Mansion does not agree."
Not only did they disagree, they also let people spread rumors wantonly, saying that the Hu family wanted to break off the engagement because they disliked Dong Yuankai, which was simply insulting.
However, a situation like Dong Yuankai's has never happened in the past hundreds of years. It's hard to say whether we should break off the engagement or not.
As a result, the capital was divided into two factions.
Some people believe that Dong Yuankai was harmed, but he did not do anything inappropriate, so the marriage will naturally count.
Some people said that Dong Yuankai had become a useless person and his appearance was so terrible that he could no longer bear to marry his daughter off.
In just three days, this matter caused a stir in the city. I heard that even the emperor was alarmed.
Li Yan didn't care about those who wanted to push Hu Miaomiao into the pit of fire. She was the first to disagree.
"Miaomiao, you must not be deceived by Dong Yuankai. You must not marry him!"
"I know, I can't marry him either."
She and the King Xian were already married, so how could she marry someone else?
Thinking of King Xian, Hu Miaomiao blushed slightly and looked a little unnatural.
"Miaomiao, you don't have a sweetheart, do you?" Li Yan squinted her eyes, igniting the spirit of gossip.
Hu Miaomiao was about to say no, but couldn't open her mouth.
What if she said no and the wise king found out about it, he would have to torment her again.
"No, do you really have a sweetheart?" Li Yan was so excited that she pulled her and kept asking, "Who is that person? Do I know him?"
"Oh, please stop asking..."
Hu Miaomiao hesitated, but no matter how she asked, she never confessed the man.
Now, Li Yan was even more curious, wondering what kind of man had captured her heart.
That person...
Presumably the jade tree is facing the wind, and it is gentle and elegant, right?
After thinking about it, Li Yan showed a subtle smile and kept winking at Hu Miaomiao.
Hu Miaomiao became even more embarrassed, her face turned red, "Okay, don't ask anymore, I really can't say."
If told the truth, Li Yan would definitely jump up in fright, and maybe even scold her for being too courageous.
"Okay, you can figure it out yourself." Seeing that she refused to say anything, Li Yan didn't ask any more questions.
The weather was just right, and Li Yan saw that her complexion was much better, so he took her out.
"There is a one-month-old temple in Qingcheng Mountain. I heard it is very efficacious. Many people go there to seek marriage. Let's go and join in the fun."
Hu Miaomiao held it in for a few days, and was somewhat interested in being able to go out and play with her.
Immediately, Li Yan pulled her out without giving her a chance to refuse.
On the carriage, Li Yan was chattering and had endless things to say, but the two of them didn't feel bored.
Hu Miaomiao lifted a corner of the curtain, and when she was excited to watch, she suddenly saw a familiar person.
Is it her?
Hu Miaomiao stretched his neck and looked, but there was no one in sight.
"Who are you looking at?" Li Yan followed her gaze and looked out, but she didn't see anyone.
"It's okay, maybe I saw it wrong."
Just now, she seemed to have seen Liu Piaopiao, but it didn't look like him. Maybe it was just a human being.
Along the way, the carriage traveled slowly and leisurely, and finally arrived at Qingcheng Mountain at noon.
At the foot of the mountain, from time to time you can see girls who come to worship Yue Lao.
They were smiling brightly, hoping to find a right husband.
Li Yan is also sixteen years old, has not yet been engaged, and is still yearning for love.
Therefore, Li Yan behaved extremely eagerly and was more pious than others even when offering incense.
Hu Miaomiao was by her side, holding three sticks of incense in her hand, but after thinking about it again and again, she didn't know whether she should ask for marriage.
Suddenly, a cold figure appeared in his mind.
Hu Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore. After lighting the incense, she turned around and left.
Forget it, she can't ask for someone like the Wise King.
After leaving Yuelao Temple, the two of them walked around at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain.
On both sides, vendors from all walks of life shouted enthusiastically, all running for life.
Walking among them, a smile couldn't help but appear on Hu Miaomiao's face, and the anxiety he had felt for many days had dissipated a lot.
"Miaomiao, did you just ask for marriage?"
Li Yan was a talkative person and couldn't help but come up to ask.
Hu Miaomiao's eyes were erratic, sometimes saying yes and sometimes saying no, which was obviously perfunctory.
However, the more perfunctory she was, the more she proved that there was something wrong in her heart.
Li Yan chuckled, winked and said, "Miaomiao, I knew you were feeling springy too."
It's a pity that I don't know which young master captured her heart. I'm really curious.
Suddenly, Hu Miaomiao paused, his eyes slightly surprised.
Li Yan also stopped, leaned into her ear and asked, "Who is this person? Do you know him?"
Hu Miaomiao was speechless, not knowing whether to say she knew him or not.
At this time, the beautiful woman opposite took the initiative and said: "Miss Hu, my name is Liu Yiyi, and I am Liu Piaopiao's sister."
"ah……"
It turns out to be Liu Piaopiao's sister, no wonder she looks a bit similar.
At this time, Li Yan also realized that this woman was afraid that she was coming with bad intentions.
"Why did you stop us?"
Li Yan looked rude and didn't take her seriously at all.
Liu Yiyi looks weak and can be bullied, just like a little white flower. She is completely opposite to Liu Piaopiao's temperament. She is weak even when she speaks.
"You two have misunderstood. I accompanied Young Master Dong to seek medical treatment, and I happened to meet Miss Hu, so I came over to say hello."
"Seeking a doctor?" Li Yan looked suspicious and didn't believe her words.
Liu Yiyi sighed, seeming a little embarrassed, "It's true, Mr. Dong's facial injury has recurred, and he screams in pain all day and night."
It is said that there is a barefoot doctor at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. He is very good at treating difficult and complicated diseases, but he is aloof and unwilling to visit the doctor. He likes to let patients visit his thatched cottage.
There was no other way, so Liu Yiyi accompanied Dong Yuankai.
This was said so accurately that Li Yan was immediately speechless.
However, Li Yan had always hated Dong Yuankai, and she didn't want Hu Miaomiao to marry him. She didn't care whether he was dead or alive, as long as she didn't get involved.
"Miaomiao, let's go."
The two of them were about to leave, but Liu Yiyi blocked their way.
