Xing An said: "Let's go back."

"Well. There are too many corpses here, the smell is disgusting, it's better to leave quickly..."

The two returned to the city, never encountering a killer on the way. Xuanyue sent Xing An back to the inn, and then went to Xingyue Building, but did not see Cui Lin or Song Jianmad, so she pretended to be a diner, ate some snacks at will, and returned to the General's Mansion.

For the next two days, Xuanyue was almost at home.

The single-door courtyard was tightly closed, no one was allowed to enter or leave, and no servants were called to serve. Xuanyue stayed in the general's mansion, but seemed to disappear from everyone's sight. No one saw her appear, and no one knew. What is she doing alone in the room. Sometimes, the maid wanted to go in and clean the room, but knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.

This is a bit out of line with the lively and festive atmosphere of the General's Mansion. No one knows what Xuanyue is doing, but she has always been very withdrawn in the past. Now that she is about to become a princess, no one dares to ask her about her. .

The five-day appointment with the eldest prince is getting closer.

The General's Mansion was lively and bustling, ready for a wedding.

It's a big happy event for the daughter to leave the cabinet!

Marrying the eldest prince and becoming a member of the royal family is even more of a great honor! This is definitely something that shines on the lintel. It's just that the elders who are in charge of the Xuan family seem to know something in their hearts, or have already guessed something. Everyone seems to be very preoccupied, as if they are not infected by this festive atmosphere.

Is this marriage a blessing or a curse...

No one can predict yet.

According to what Xuan Boyong and Xuan Zhengyang said, if Xuan Yue didn't get a positive answer, they would have to use extraordinary means to tie her directly into the sedan chair. You know, if she does the slightest thing wrong in this royal-aligned marriage, it will affect the entire family.

Xuanyue had already said repeatedly in public that she would never marry the eldest prince.

This sentence is like a time bomb placed in the heart of every Xuan family member, and it will explode at any time!

And Xuanyue's mysterious actions in the past two days have aroused suspicion among Xuan's parents.

For this reason, Xuan Zhongwu received cold eyes and exclusion. If it weren't for the fact that he has a daughter who is about to marry into the palace, I'm afraid he would have been ridiculed to death long ago.

Now, everyone is worried and watching the fire from the other side...

If Xuan Yue marries the eldest prince smoothly, the Xuan clan will be proud from now on... Xuan Zhongwu will of course turn over as a salted fish, father and daughter are more expensive! At this juncture, Xuan Zhongwu at least can't be offended.

Xuan Boyong's temper is relatively hot, and he couldn't hold back his temper for a long time.

It's just that the old man of Xuan's family didn't speak, so no one came to disturb Xuanyue.

This is the important factor that Xuanyue has not encountered a little bit of pressure from within the family at this juncture. In the eyes of the rest of the Xuan family, the old man seemed to be very at ease with Xuanyue, and he was not too worried about this marriage. Instead, he often mentioned the purpose of the first prince to propose marriage...

Three days later this afternoon...

The last day of the five-day appointment.

Strictly speaking, it was the last night.

When Xuanyue opened the door and saw the red sunset hanging diagonally in the air, she found that under the setting sun, several familiar faces appeared at her door.

Xuan Zhongwu, Xuan Jiwen, Xuan Cheng, and Xuan Xuanshuang were standing at her door in a row.

"Father, third uncle, why are you here? Are you still standing at the door? Have you been here for a long time? Why didn't you knock on the door?" Xuan Yue looked curious.

"Grandpa won't let us disturb you." Xuancheng said with a smile, a look of jealousy on his face.

"Then... what are you doing here? Grandpa has something to do with me?" Xuanyue glanced at the silent third uncle and father.

Xuanzhong Wudao: "Everyone, let's go ahead and talk about it."

Xuanyue quickly stopped at the door: "The room is too messy, go to the side hall and talk, you go first, I'll come to make a pot of tea."

"Alright! There are so many of us, it's not good to go to a girl's boudoir." Xuan Jiwen nodded, and led Xuan Cheng and Xuan Zhongwu to the side hall in the other corner of the yard. Xuan Xuanshuang seemed to be suspicious of something. When she walked past the door, she raised her head and looked into the room...

"Fourth sister. What are you looking at?" Xuanyue asked directly.

"No... nothing." Xuan Xuanshuang's face became embarrassed, and quickly followed Xuan Jiwen and the others.

Xuanyue then turned around and entered the room.

When she came out, she had already made a pot of tea, and she didn't forget to close the door before leaving.

She came to the side hall, took out four clean cups, poured a cup of hot tea for everyone, and then began to speak: "Father, third uncle, what's the matter with you? I think, the four of you are one Get up and find me, there must be something important, right?"

Xuan Jiwen said: "It's not a very important matter, I just want to remind you that tomorrow...tomorrow is the deadline for the five-day appointment!"

Xuanyue said lightly, "So what?"

Xuancheng said: "Father, why are you hesitant to speak? Let me speak!"

Xuan Jiwen glared at her son, but it was nothing, it was a default. Obviously, there are some things he is not good at saying. Asking Xuancheng to take over the topic was exactly what he wanted.

Xuanyue said: "Third brother, then you can talk about it. We are a family, there is nothing that can't be said."

The words on the lips are clean and beautiful. In fact, Xuanyue understood when she saw this posture, there must be some words that are inconvenient to say. Otherwise, even Xuan Zhongwu didn't speak much when he came, which was obviously very embarrassing.

Xuancheng smiled and said: "You old sixth, you really have a face. Now everyone in the General's Mansion is worried about you?"

Xuanyue said, "What's going on?"

Xuancheng said: "Didn't you ask this knowingly?"

Xuanyue was slightly annoyed: "Why did I ask for it knowingly? Third brother, don't wrong me. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Xuancheng said: "Isn't it for your marriage?"

Xuanyue frowned: "This matter...it's really...there's no way to not have a headache!"

Xuancheng said: "That's right! That's it! You also know that if you are willing to marry the first prince, you will be happy and everyone will be happy. But when the first prince came last time, you and him were almost the same. There was going to be a quarrel, and the eldest prince could not get off the stage, and finally left angrily. Moreover, you also said in front of all your fathers, uncles and elders that you would never marry the eldest prince... You know, the inheritance of the general's residence After thousands of years, it is not easy to have the prosperity you are today. If you offend the eldest prince because of your marriage and disobey the imperial edict, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

Xuanyue said: "Third brother, you don't need to go on. I understand."

Xuancheng nodded: "You are a smart person, you will understand these words as soon as I say them. Dad and Er Uncle are actually entrusted by the elders of the clan, and I am here to watch the fun, the main thing is I care about you. As for the fourth sister, hehe, I think she should be here to monitor you."

Xuan Xuanshuang said angrily, "Third brother, what nonsense are you talking about?"
