"Auntie, this is what happened."
"In my opinion, let's call off the marriage between our two families. After all, it's about fulfilling the wishes of others. Although Yu Han sister said Ye Longlin is unemployed, based on my understanding of Yu Han sister, he's likely not an ordinary person. Besides, Yu Han sister is proud and wouldn't possibly find an ordinary person to be her boyfriend.
Although I, Song Yuanfeng, am not a good person, I can still fulfill others' wishes. Even though I like Yu Han sister very much, I can't steal someone else's love.
If Yu Han sister has someone she likes, she won't be happy even if she marries me. As long as Yu Han sister is happy, anything I do is worth it. Please don't go find Yu Han sister, and don't make things difficult for Yu Han sister's boyfriend, because Yu Han sister will be unhappy. Not to mention saying Yu Han sister's boyfriend is unsuccessful or that there's a family gap that would make him feel inferior."
Song Yuanfeng was like a manipulative person. Although he told her not to trouble the other party, his words implied, "Hurry up and cause trouble for them."
The old man remained silent, fully aware of his young master's intentions.
His young master wanted to use a borrowed knife to kill. Furthermore, for them, there was never any talk of affection, only alliances for marriage.
Even though scions of great families were born at a starting point unattainable by ordinary people, only they knew the hardships behind it.
Affection couldn't be forced.
The boy's words were understandable, but it was completely unfair to girls. From the moment they were born, they became tools for marriage alliances. If they met someone with a good disposition, it was fine, but if they met someone with a bad disposition, it was torture for both parties.
Therefore, many were outwardly harmonious in their marriages, but in private, they kept various women or kept male lovers.
This was already the norm.
Mu Ye and Kong Bailu were like this.
When Mu Ye's surname was still Murong, their marital relationship was at least outwardly very harmonious, but that was only in front of outsiders and Mu Hanqi. In private, they were constantly keeping lovers.
There was no affection whatsoever.
"Yu Han has a boyfriend? Scoundrel! Utter scoundrel! Who allowed her to have a boyfriend? She's completely disregarding the face of the Murong family of Jinling! If this news reaches Jinling, this marriage will become a joke!
The three patriarchs have utilized two generations to finally achieve a closed loop. How can she, Murong Yuhan, ruin the grand plan of the three patriarchs! For someone to dare to covet the princess, they are simply seeking death!"
Kong Bailu snorted, her eyes filled with menace.
The three major families of Jinling, the Murong family, the Kong family, and the Song family, were the leading families, with countless second-tier families. After all, it was the capital of six dynasties.
These three families had a plan from the generation of the patriarchs, which had the approval of the heads of the three families.
Simply put, it was to form a closed loop of interests for the three families.
The Murong family allied through marriage with the Kong family, the Kong family allied through marriage with the Song family, and the Song family allied through marriage with the Murong family, thus forming a closed loop.
However, during the previous generation, due to some changes in the Song family, the only son of the Song family patriarch died in the battlefield while serving in the army, which caused a delay, and they could only wait for the grandchildren's generation.
This was the truth behind the marriage alliance between Song Yuanfeng and Mu Hanqi.
It was to solidify the upper echelons so that no one could interfere with their interest chain, thus expanding their influence and increasing their authority, which was the core factor.
There was an accident in the previous generation, and there must be no accidents in this generation!
"Auntie, please don't be rash. Yu Han sister seems to really like her boyfriend. I... I..."
After saying that, he sighed deeply.
As a result, Kong Bailu's eyebrows twitched. She wasn't stupid, how could she not understand Song Yuanfeng's intentions? However, it seemed she could only go along with his wishes now.
This was an open stratagem, and she couldn't say anything because it was the truth.
"You don't need to worry about this matter. We'll return to Jinling tomorrow, and I'll definitely bring her with me."
Kong Bailu said irritably, then got up and left to go to Cloud Top Celestial Palace.
Outside Cloud Top Celestial Palace, the security guards took a deep breath upon hearing the beautiful woman in front of them wanted to go to Villa No. 3 and let her pass directly.
The events of yesterday had caused a stir in the property management headquarters. Zhao Hongtai had directly ordered that if the person seemed to have significant backing, they should be allowed through, and then the owner of Villa No. 3 should be notified.
They couldn't afford to incur the losses of Elder Lin.
Elder Lin had gone into seclusion directly after returning yesterday.
"Boss, the gatekeeper said a beautiful woman is looking for Miss Mu. She claims to be the lady's mother and her name is Kong Bailu."
Upon hearing Yuan Gang's report, Mu Hanqi, who had just finished exercising and showering, instantly turned pale, her eyes wide open.
"Yes, it's my mother, but why is she in South Province?"
Mu Hanqi said tremblingly. It was evident that Mu Hanqi was somewhat afraid of her mother, otherwise, she wouldn't be like this now, but would be filled with joy.
"Woody, my mom is definitely coming to cause trouble for you. My mom is quite strong, and maybe tonight..."
Mu Hanqi was very worried about a conflict between the two, one being the person she deeply loved, and the other being her mother. Caught in the middle, she truly had no choice.
"It's alright, the ugly duckling has to meet her in-laws eventually."
"Yuan Gang, go borrow a helicopter from property management and invite Aunt Zhao over."
There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom.
Since it was Mu Hanqi's mother, he would invite Aunt Zhao over to confront her, to avoid conflict as much as possible. Moreover, not just anyone could handle such matters.
"Understood."
Ye Longlin pondered for a moment and instructed Xuan Niao, "Prepare the national sacrifice attire and the golden saber. I want to tell my future mother-in-law that this king is not to be trifled with."
Mu Hanqi asked curiously, "What are national sacrifice attire and the golden saber?"
The so-called national sacrifice attire is the traditional sacrificial clothing of Great Xia, and the national sacrifice refers to the supreme ruler ascending Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the countless ancestors and emperors of Great Xia, telling the ancestors and emperors that Great Xia is now prosperous and peaceful.
The important matters of the state lie in rituals and military affairs.
The customs and etiquette passed down for thousands of years must not be abolished.
From the ancestral rites ceremony to the national sacrifice ceremony.
Although feudal superstition no longer exists, sacrifices still exist throughout the country.
The sacrifices of the Qiang people, the sacrifices of the Yao people, the ceremony of Genghis Khan, the ceremony of Confucius, etc., have all been passed down.
As for his national sacrifice attire, it had only been worn once since it was issued, the year he was appointed Five-Star Heavenly King, when he accompanied the supreme ruler to Mount Tai.
His appearance that time shocked everyone, because in this era, he was the only one who could wear the imperial python robe!
Ye Longlin rubbed her little head, "Have you ever seen an imperial python robe?"
