Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

The banquet hall was brightly lit and filled with banquets. Mu Yao looked over and saw about a hundred tables, a spectacular sight comparable to the day of her wedding to Xu Qingcheng.

All the members of the Xie family who could come today were present. They all looked at Xie Ci and Mu Yao, with envy and excitement on their faces.

Although it was not the first time that Mu Yao attended such a big occasion, she felt extremely socially awkward being stared at by so many scorching eyes at the same time. She was almost suffering from embarrassment and wished she could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

Two red clouds appeared on her beautiful cheeks, which made her look quirky and cute under her wine-brown pigtails.

Her cheeks were so tender that they looked like water could be squeezed out of them, she had two shallow dimples, her eyes were full of twinkling stars, and her long and curly eyelashes made her look extremely shy, like a rose that had just been baptized by dew, emitting a crystal-clear glow all over her body.

Everyone stared at the new family member in a trance, their heartstrings broke with a bang, shattered to the ground, and turned into a pool of spring water.

"so cute!"

Someone shouted, which livened up the atmosphere of the entire banquet hall.

Everyone waved towards them and invited Mu Yao to sit with them.

The children who had received a bunch of gold leaves from her earlier ran forward, said a lot of nice things to Xie Ci in a sweet voice, and pulled Mu Yao's hand to move to their table.

Mu Yao looked at Xie Ci for help, and it was finally Xie Bufan who spoke up and asked them to sit back at the main table.

The two sat down, and Mu Yao lowered her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Xie Ci bowed to the side and said, "Third Uncle, Third Aunt, Third Brother, long time no see."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yao immediately raised her eyes and stood up, bowing along with Xie Ci and saying, "Mu Yao greets Third Uncle, Third Aunt, Third...Brother."

The man in a black robe and black veil suddenly caught her attention. Apart from Wei Wushang, this was the second time she saw a man with his face covered, and she couldn't help but secretly look at him curiously.

The man said nothing, as if he didn't hear Xie Ci and her greeting. He just stood there straight and motionless, as if he had merged into the air. He had no sense of existence, but because of his black robe, people couldn't help but notice him.

Today's banquet was filled with joy and everyone was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but he was the only one who looked so different.

"This is my grandson - Xie Yu." Xie Bufan introduced, his tone revealing helplessness and sadness. He then waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.

Song Yiren had not returned to her ancestral home for three years. Today, she received a message from the head of the family and came back with her son and husband to take a look. She did not expect to see such a beautiful lady.

She was born into a family of Jianghu people, and she didn't have many fancy words to describe the beauty of her niece's wife. She just felt that there was no girl more beautiful than her in the world. She secretly glanced at her son and saw that he was still cold and numb. She felt so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe.

A Ci found such a good wife, but what about her son?

Song Yiren's eyes were always on Mu Yao. Even when her grandfather talked to her, her eyes would still be cast towards her. But Song Yiren never talked to her, which made her feel very strange.

Xie Ci's third uncle, Xie Gantang, was much more enthusiastic, with a warm smile on his face. He had a very good appearance, and although he was in his twilight years, his face did not show many signs of aging. His full head of silver hair made Mu Yao stunned for a moment, as if she saw the shadow of Shen Chutang in him.

"Yaoyao, is Aci your only husband?" Song Yiren asked suddenly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the entire table fell silent. Everyone looked at her in surprise. They didn't expect Song Yiren to ask such a sudden question.

Xie Bufan hesitated to speak. Mu Yao's situation would be known to her family sooner or later.

Xie Ci slightly adjusted his sitting position, put his arm around Mu Yao's slender waist and was about to speak, but heard Mu Yao's thin lips gently open: "Aunt, I have a total of... six husbands."

Her voice was a little awkward, but she still told the truth openly.

A few breaths passed without any response from Song Yiren. Mu Yao was puzzled and looked up, only to find that she was staring at her intently, which made her feel nervous.

Xie Gantang quietly pushed his wife's elbow, his eyes full of anxiety. Song Yiren hasn't had an attack for a long time, so she must not have an attack at this critical moment.

She seemed not to notice her husband's reminder, and her expression gradually became excited. After taking a look at Xie Yu, she smiled and said, "Yaoyao, you can be my daughter-in-law. My Ah Yu is very good."

These words were like a bomb, completely shattering all the good atmosphere.

"Old Third Family, today is the first time that Aci's wife is visiting us. As an elder, you must not say anything without meaning it." Xie Bufan warned, his face full of displeasure. If he didn't want to see Xie Yu, he wouldn't have called them back.

Xie Gantang was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do. His face turned pale and blue. He suppressed his emotions and apologized to his father and Xie Ci: "Dad, Ah Ci, I will take them back now."

"I won't! I didn't say anything wrong, why should I go back? Dad, Ah Yu has already reached the right age to get married, but he still doesn't have a wife. Don't you love him the most? It would be great if Yao Yao could marry Ah Yu as well, so that we can become even closer relatives."

Before Xie Bufan could speak, he turned to Xie Ci and begged, "Ah Ci, Ah Yu is your biological brother. You and he have had the best relationship since childhood. Can you let Yaoyao take Ah Yu in? Just think of it as Third Aunt begging you!"

Xie Ci knew that Third Aunt was ill, but he didn't expect that in the past few years, not only had there been no signs of improvement, but she became even crazier. Who did she think Mu Yao was? And who did she think Xie Ci was? The expression on her face could hardly be controlled, and it sank in an instant.

"Aunt San, be careful with your words! In this world, no matter how good the relationship is, not everything can be shared. Mu Yao is my wife who I am thanking for my decision! I hope you will stop having these inappropriate thoughts!"

Mu Yao was stunned by this scene and couldn't say a word. She seemed to feel that the Third Aunt's eyes had become a little crazy, and the "Ayu" she mentioned was still sitting there like a stone statue, without any reaction, as if she couldn't even detect the slightest breathing sound, which made her feel terrified and thought of the word "living dead".

"Why? Why are you willing to let others share your wife but not your own brothers? What's wrong with marrying one more person? Marrying six is ​​marrying, but marrying one more is not marrying?" Song Yiren seemed to be irritated by Xie Ci's stern rejection. She raised her voice suddenly, attracting the attention of the people around her. The noise in the entire banquet hall stopped abruptly.

"Shut up! Come back with me!" Xie Gantang's face turned pale and he slammed the table in anger. He had never been so embarrassed as today. He grabbed Song Yiren's wrist and dragged her away.

Suddenly, a burst of crazy laughter rose in the void, harsh, sharp, and hysterical. To Mu Yao, it was full of disdain, bitterness, and despair.

After Xie Yu stood up and laughed wildly, he tore off the veil, revealing a horrible face that looked as if it had been eaten by an evil ghost.

He pulled Song Yiren's shoulders, made her face him, and shouted, "Mother, look at your son's face! Look at your son's grimacing face! This face that is despised by the world! Don't you think your son's life is not hard enough, miserable enough, and tiring enough?"

He frantically smashed a green bowl with his bare hands and stabbed his uneven ghost face with the sharp fragments without hesitation.

"No——" Song Yiren did not expect A Yu to hurt herself. No one present had expected Xie Yu to do this. The banquet hall suddenly became chaotic.

The children seemed to be frightened by Xie Yu's behavior and burst into tears one after another.

The heart-wrenching, emotionally devastating cries were deafening.

Mu Yao stared at the scene in front of her with dull eyes, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses until her Third Aunt and Xie Yu were forcibly dragged away.

Xie Ci held her tightly in his arms, and kept saying soothing words, but all that reached Mu Yao's ears was a low buzzing sound.

When I turned my head, I saw my grandfather sitting there quietly with his head down, his whole body filled with suppressed sadness. His originally straight back became hunched, and his whole body was immersed in a deep sense of vicissitudes.
