Chapter 339: All Acting
"Why did you two come out? Where are your elder brother and your sister-in-law?" As the two of them moved to the door, Fifth Aunt's anxious voice came over.
It turned out that the whole family was waiting outside silently.
Chu Ci sobered up instantly. She coughed to cover up her abnormality and turned to look at Fan Jingrui, "Husband, shall we go out too?"
"Listen to my wife." Fan Jingrui is very thick-skinned now, and he doesn't look embarrassed at all even in front of everyone.
Instead, he reached out and pulled Chu Ci out with a confident smile on his face.
At this time, Qianxue and Qianyan were frantically making up excuses to cover up for the couple.
Qianxue blinked her eyes constantly and stammered, "Um...we..." She blurted out word by word, and was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Qianyan was so anxious that his face turned red, and he clenched the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands, "It's just..." He couldn't say anything for a long time.
Seeing this, Chu Ci felt both angry and amused. He turned around and glared at Fan Jingrui fiercely, his eyes seeming to say "It's all your fault".
She quickly spoke up to rescue the two poor sisters-in-law, "Mother-in-law, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Fifth Aunt, why are you all here?"
Chu Ci's mother-in-law and several aunts looked at Chu Ci and his wife holding hands tightly. They were also young once, so they naturally understood the deep love between them and understood it instantly.
"It's okay, it's just that this is our daughter-in-law's first time attending a banquet, and we feel uneasy, so we came to take a look." The mother-in-law walked forward and patted Chu Ci's hand gently, her eyes full of concern.
"Since Jingrui, you are going with you, I won't worry anymore. Let's go, let's go!" Chu Ci's mother-in-law said with a smile on her face, and then turned around and left with several aunts.
At this moment, Chu Ci wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Her pretty face turned red with shame, and she wished she could disappear from everyone's sight immediately.
Fan Jingrui, on the other hand, had a nonchalant and smug look on his face, with the corners of his mouth raised and a hint of cunning in his eyes.
For some reason, at this moment, a thought suddenly popped up in Chu Ci's mind: Even a gentle and modest man cannot escape the bad nature of men?
But as soon as this thought came to her mind, she quickly shook her head, as if she wanted to throw this ridiculous idea out of her mind.
"It's getting late, let's go!" Chu Ci calmed himself down and said calmly, trying to break the slightly awkward atmosphere.
Chuci is warm and beautiful.
After learning the whole plan, the King of Shu was left with only anxiety.
The King of Shu paced back and forth in his study, frowning. His trusted guard asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, what should we do?"
The King of Shu glared at him fiercely and said in a low voice: "What can I do? This situation is giving me a headache."
The guard said softly, "Don't worry too much, my lord. There will always be a way."
The King of Shu snorted coldly: "Solution? Tell me about it!"
At this time, the voice of Princess Xing Yunyun came from outside the door: "My Lord, I want to see you."
The King of Shu looked even uglier and he winked at the guards, who quickly retreated.
Xing Yunyun walked into the study and said indifferently, "Your Majesty, if you mess up this, don't blame me for being rude."
The King of Shu suppressed his anger and said, "Princess, please don't push me too far."
Xing Yunyun sneered, "You're pushing me too far? Does Your Majesty have any choice now?"
The King of Shu knew that he couldn't annoy Xing Yunyun now, so he could only pretend to be helpless and said, "I know you are anxious, but do you really think you are a match for Princess Yixin? You know, the second brother, no, that bastard, had the best timing and location, but in the end, he still..."
Before she could even finish the words "end up like that", Xing Yunyun became angry and said, "Shut up, it was all that woman's fault. And that bitch actually dared to betray us, otherwise, we wouldn't have lost, not at all."
Her eyes were red, her face was distorted with anger, and her voice was sharp and almost out of control.
Xing Yunyun clenched her fists, her body trembling slightly, and continued to shout: "It's all their fault, they are the ones who made us like this!"
The King of Shu looked at the nearly insane Xing Yunyun and felt annoyed, but he still suppressed his emotions and said, "Okay, don't lose your composure like this."
Seeing that the King of Shu was still willing to comfort her at this time, Xing Yunyun couldn't help but feel happy, thinking that the King of Shu still had feelings for her.
There was a flash of surprise and anticipation in her eyes, and at that moment, it seemed as if they had returned to the time when they were in love.
However, this brief fantasy was quickly broken by reality. She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and said through gritted teeth: "But we still have a chance."
At this moment, the fire of madness rekindled in her eyes, the fire was hot and resolute, as if she had really grasped the last straw of life, even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, she would rush forward regardless of everything.
When the King of Shu saw this, he could hardly conceal the disgust in his eyes.
His brows were furrowed, his eyes dodged quickly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. It was obvious that he was trying hard to control his emotions.
Fortunately, the sound coming from outside broke the tense atmosphere in the room and interrupted the confrontation between the two.
"Your Highness, Princess, Princess Yixin and her family have arrived at the gate." The voice was anxious but not respectful enough.
But even so, when the news entered the house, it shocked both the King of Shu and Xing Yunyun.
The King of Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly adjusted his expression, putting on a warm smile.
Xing Yunyun also pretended to be calm, and straightened her clothes and hair. She looked relaxed, but in fact her hands were clenched into fists, and her joints were white from the force.
The King of Shu seemed not to notice Xing Yunyun's little action. He looked into the distance, his thoughts seemed to drift away, and he slowly said, "Princess, I think today's guests are almost all here."
"Besides, it's almost time. If we don't go out now, we'll probably be criticized. Let's go out!"
After the King of Shu finished speaking, he walked towards the door, his steps steady yet a little anxious.
Xing Yunyun still wanted to say a few more words to the King of Shu, but she hadn't vented the anger in her heart yet, and her face was full of anger.
Unexpectedly, Minghui ignored the obstruction and pushed the door open and rushed in. Her face was red, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead. She said breathlessly: "Father, Mother, I also want to go find Sister Yixin."
Minghui's eyes were full of anticipation and eagerness, as if she was completely unaware of the tense atmosphere in the room.
"No..." Although Xing Yunyun's heart was towards the former dynasty, her love for her daughter was real.
At this moment, she frowned, looked worried, and wanted to stop her daughter.
Unfortunately, before she could finish her words, the King of Shu interrupted her. "Okay, follow father! I'm sure your sister Yixin will be very happy to see you."
The King of Shu had a gentle smile on his face and extended his hand to Minghui.
Xing Yunyun shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty, no!"
But the King of Shu seemed not to hear it and walked out holding Minghui's hand.
Xing Yunyun had no choice but to quickly catch up.
