Chapter 241 Heartbreaking Scene 1
Yang Jianwu briefly recounted her relationship with Puyang Xuan on the way.
General Yang felt some sympathy for Puyang Xuan. He could understand Xuan's nervousness about meeting his father-in-law. If he told Wu'er the truth, wouldn't that be admitting that he himself had been a coward when he was young...?
It's not appropriate to say it out loud, as it would damage his dignified image, given the generational gap between him and his granddaughter!
Upon hearing this, Luo Li gritted her teeth, "Young Master Puyang is truly ungrateful! His hesitant manner suggests he's still reluctant to part with his concubines!"
"How can there be..."
Yang Jianwu tried to explain, but Luo Li didn't give her a chance at all.
"Miss, don't defend him! If he really cared, he should have come with you! Besides, you've been home for so long and he didn't come after you, so he definitely doesn't have you in his heart!"
Yang Jianwu glanced sideways at Luo Li, "Are you trying to comfort me, or are you going to kick me in the heart?! Humph, if you can't comfort people, then don't try!"
Luo Li already felt that no one was good enough for his young lady, and it would be even better if the young master of Puyang didn't pursue her.
"Miss, please don't worry. Even if you don't find a suitable partner in the end, I will always be there for you!"
"You are beautiful!"
……
General Yang was eavesdropping on the two men's casual conversation, his lips never closing in a smile.
He enjoys listening to Yang Jianwu talk; he often learns new vocabulary and insights, which enriches his mind and makes him feel younger.
It was already evening when they returned to the general's mansion, and the setting sun cast a rosy glow on their faces.
Puyang Xuan spent the entire afternoon at the General's Mansion, feeling extremely uneasy. He would assume that the slightest sound was Yang Jianwu returning, and each time he ran to the door, he was met with nothing but emptiness.
Yuan Suxin tried to dissuade him to no avail, so she let him do as he pleased, and this time they actually ran into each other.
Upon arriving at the gate of the mansion, I encountered a heartbreaking scene.
Under the setting sun, the handsome man and beautiful woman, bathed in the orange glow of the afterglow, had a joyful expression on their faces. Occasionally, they would exchange a few words, adding a touch of warmth and life to the scene.
"Sword Dance..."
Puyang Xuan was somewhat hurt. He knew he hadn't done well that morning, and now he was filled with remorse...
Luo Li's gaze... Jian Wuxin couldn't see it, but as a fellow man, he understood it quite well.
Yang Jianwu was momentarily delighted when she saw Puyang Xuan, but the joy quickly turned to reality. "What are you doing here?"
These words put Puyang Xuan in an awkward position. What could he possibly be doing here?!
They had a perfectly good discussion before, but his hesitation led to the current situation. So, Jianwu's question doesn't seem wrong...
You reap what you sow!
"I've come to pay my respects to my uncle and aunt today as their son-in-law!"
Yang Jianwu's heart stirred slightly; he was willing to take this step! Just as he was about to speak, a dark figure blocked his view—it was Luo Li!
"Luo Li, you..."
Before Yang Jianwu could finish her question, Luo Li started hurling insults.
"Young Master Puyang, have you ever heard that only love that is mutual has meaning, and only love that is cherished by both parties can last?"
Yang Jianwu actually wanted to stop her. Luo Li had been by her side since childhood and had a lot of classic maxims and aphorisms. His ability to roast people was just as good as hers.
She was just angry that Ah Xuan lacked courage, not that she didn't love him. How could she bear to let Luo Li say something to him...
Luo Li's words struck a chord with her. She also wanted to know what A Xuan was thinking, so she chose to keep her mouth shut and remain silent behind Luo Li.
"How do you know I don't love sword dancing? My presence at the General's Mansion today is the best proof!"
"Tch, did you come for Miss herself, or for her strength? If it was for her, why didn't you come earlier? Why didn't you come with Miss?!"
"A formal visit requires a gift, and I don't want to be laughed at, so I'll take a little longer. Guard Luo Li, are you satisfied?!"
Puyang Xuan deliberately emphasized the word "guard," hoping that Luo Li would recognize his true identity.
The only people who could stay by Yang Jianwu's side, except for Qingdai who was soft, were all troublemakers. Puyang Xuan's words had no effect on Luo Li whatsoever!
His young lady once said that guards and maids are just doing their jobs for money, and that they shouldn't look down on themselves!
"I am very satisfied! Then may I ask, young master, have you explained this to the young lady? Hmm?"
General Yang frowned slightly, somewhat displeased. Luo Li's questioning at the gate of the mansion was truly damaging to the reputation of the General's Mansion...
Unable to contain her curiosity, she chose to stand quietly to the side. She also wanted to subtly intimidate Ah Xuan; his granddaughter wasn't someone to be trifled with!
"My horsemanship is inferior to your young lady's, so I couldn't catch up and haven't explained it to her yet..."
Puyang Xuan spoke these words without any conviction, his heart filled with regret once again. He was wrong, wrong, truly wrong...
"Ha~ha~ha~"
Luo Li laughed loudly, showing no respect for Puyang Xuan. "Young Master Puyang, it's fine if you don't want to explain, but why make up such a lame excuse? Miss's horsemanship is indeed good, but it's not as exaggerated as you say! Couldn't you have called for help?! In the end, isn't Miss the most important person in your heart?"
"Shut up!"
"I shut up? Because I'm right?"
Pu Yangxuan was furious, but reason told him that he absolutely could not make a move at the entrance of the General's Mansion!
