Is my wife farming today?

Chapter 334 The Banquet is Interrupted
Xu Boyan, who was in the garden, had just woken up when he heard Xue Hanxiang knocking on the door.

"what happened?"

Xue Hanxiang said anxiously, "My husband sent someone to ask you to go to the East Courtyard."

Xu Boyan savored the word "My dear" from Xue Hanxiang's mouth, and suddenly realized who he was talking about. He quickly got up and opened the door.

In Ji Yue, only the main husband is qualified to be called Lang Jun by the servants. Otherwise, the concubine husband is just a concubine husband, and the maid is just a maid, and they are not worthy of being called Jun.

There was still a slight smell of alcohol in the room, but Xue Hanxiang didn't bother to talk about it. She said hastily, "Something happened in the eastern suburbs this afternoon. My master rushed to deal with it, but he hasn't come back yet."

Xu Boyan was a smart man, so he naturally understood the meaning behind Xue Hanxiang's words.

She replied, "Okay, tell your husband not to worry, I will wipe my face and go to the eastern suburbs myself."

"Thank you, Master Xu." Xue Hanxiang added, "Today is my husband's celebration dinner, and it is really inconvenient for him to leave. I hope Xu Boyan can tell the master to return as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Xu Boyan washed his face with clean water, and without even changing into new clothes, he took a horse from the stable in the backyard and galloped out.

After Dugu Xiwei heard the news reported by Xue Hanxiang, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, and she said with some self-abasement: "In the past, I treated Senior Brother Xu poorly."

The Helang wine is about to be served, and a person's true character can only be revealed at this critical and urgent moment.

Xu Boyan could treat him like this, which made Dugu Xiwei feel that his past behavior was too petty. He was not such a person, but seeing Xu Boyan and Xie Jue were too close, he couldn't help but get jealous.

From now on, he would treat Xu Boyan as a person he respected, just as he had rejected him.

While I was thinking this, someone came to the front yard and said that the guests had arrived.

He declined but still did not come back.

Dugu Xiwei's eyelids suddenly twitched. Could something have happened?

As these thoughts came to his mind, he became more and more filled with uneasiness.

But after all, Dugu Xiwei was used to the complicated and unpredictable banquets held by aristocratic families in Kyoto, so she was able to handle them with ease.

Zhou Wenxi was the first person to notice that Xie Bu was gone.

"What's going on? What happened?" She then found an excuse, came to Dugu Xiwei with a glass of sake and asked. Based on her understanding of Xie Jue, she would definitely not let the husband she had just married yesterday deal with such a dinner alone.

Even if she had no feelings for this husband, she couldn't do it, let alone how much she doted on Dugu Xiwei.

"It's okay, she went out and hasn't come back yet." Dugu Xi replied without changing her expression.

Zhou Wenxi looked around and suddenly clicked his tongue, "Strange, the Princess Royal just went out and hasn't come back yet, do you think the two of them might have bumped into each other?"
Anyway, Feng Qingran never likes to refuse things. This is a recognized fact and there is nothing to hide.

Of course, Zhou Wenxi just mentioned it casually and jokingly.

Unexpectedly, Dugu Xiwei took it to heart.

"Go, ask Steward Xue to find out where the Crown Princess has gone." He called Ruyi and whispered an order.

Ruyi also knew the importance of Helang wine, so she ran out. Xie Shen, who was sitting on the main seat, was also surprised, but he didn't send anyone to ask. On the one hand, he wanted to see how Dugu Xiwei was able to handle things, and on the other hand, he wanted to wait and see what would happen. He didn't want to make a big deal out of this matter, which would affect his reputation.

Just think about it, he had just taken the initiative to break off the engagement with the Princess Royal in front of the palace, and was voluntarily leaving the house and leaving the Dugu family. All of this was just to marry Xie Ju and become her husband.

Now if there are rumors that she refused the marriage and ignored him, and even didn't show up to celebrate the Langjiu,

Then Dugu Xiwei would really become a laughing stock of the world.

Xie Shen would never allow such a thing to happen.

"Where is Hong'er? Why are you here alone?" Xie Shen asked subconsciously as he looked at Jiang Han who came alone to greet him.

Jiang Han replied calmly, "My wife went out to buy cakes for Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Why haven't you come back yet after being gone for so long?"

"Should we send someone to urge them?" Just as he was talking, Xie Hong came back from outside with two packages of pastries, her face rosy. Feng Qingran was also with her. The two of them looked refreshed and were even talking and laughing along the way.

A trace of doubt arose in Xie Shen's heart. When did these two become so close?

As soon as Jiang Han saw it, he knew that tonight’s event was done.

After a while, the person sent by Xue Hanxiang also came back. Dugu Xiwei took the opportunity to wait for his report in the side hall while paying respects to the guests from the capital.

"The eldest lady went to Liuxiangzhai with Her Royal Highness the Princess today. She stayed there for a few hours and just came out before rushing back to the mansion. She didn't go anywhere else."

Dugu Xiwei listened and had someone give him a reward.

"Okay, I understand." As soon as the servant left, Dugu Xiwei brought Xue Hanxiang to find Xie Shen, "Mother." He said with a sob.

Xie Shen had never seen him like this before, and he opened his eyes wide, "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

"Mother, I want to stop this banquet to celebrate my husband's death."

Xie Shen was puzzled, "Why?" Could it be that the bastard took out his anger on him during the day? Or did the couple have a few arguments and were worried about losing face at the banquet?

Dugu Xiwei did not mention the fact that he refused to come back, and insisted: "My child suddenly felt unwell, and I was worried that I would neglect him."

"Don't talk about whether you are being treated poorly or not. If you don't want to hold this Helang Banquet, you can cancel it at any time. Someone, go to the front yard and tell them to break up the banquet." Following Xie Shen's powerful order, Dugu Xiwei secretly clenched his palms.

Just as Xie Shen was about to lead his men away, he suddenly stepped forward and said, "Mother, I'm worried that my wife might have met with an accident outside. Could you please send a few teams of guards to search the city?"

"That bastard hasn't come back yet?"

"Yes." Dugu Xiwei explained: "Originally, someone from the East Suburb Garden sent a letter saying that she had something important to report. She left after hearing it. When she left, she repeatedly told me to wait for her to come back, but now she has been gone for several hours and I am worried..."

Although Xie Shen felt that Dugu Xiwei's worries might be unnecessary, due to her promise to Dugu Jin, she still called three teams of personal guards and went to search along the route Xie Jue took.

The banquet was adjourned and many guests left in confusion.

Privately, they were discussing whether Master Dugu had some hidden illness? Could it be that he had disgusted his wife after just one night? Why couldn't he even hold this Helang wine party and had to disband it midway?
No wonder she is still staying at home in her early twenties. If she is really as good as the rumors say, unparalleled in the world, with both talent and beauty, why would she stay unmarried for so long?

Wang Qian and Liu Sixue mingled in the crowd, listening to everyone's discussion about Dugu Xiwei. They felt a little complicated in their hearts, not knowing what to feel.
