"My God, this is killing me with laughter." Situ San laughed hysterically.
"Yes, yes, this second Miss Mu is really ruthless, huh?"
"Sigh, my family has heard too. My sister keeps sighing at home, wondering what kind of blind eyes Ye Haoyang must have had to get engaged to such a woman, and she even wants to find the second Miss Mu to make her cancel the engagement quickly."
His sister also has a crush on Ye Haoyang.
Ye Haoyang and the others looked at each other in surprise, none of them expected this matter to have spread.
"Didnât Situ San get his bones broken by Second Brother? How is he here at Gathering Tower?" Ye Rongqing asked curiously.
Ye Haoyang glared at Mu Niancheng, "Your parents arenât home, and youâve let the household become like this? Even a servant dares to go out and spread rumors. Iâll give you two days, if the rumors donât stop and Huaâenâs reputation is damaged, Iâll burn your medicine furnace."
After Ye Haoyang left the private room, Mu Niancheng turned to talk to Ye Haoxuan, "What have I done wrong? Why is he always threatening to burn my medicine furnace?"
"Young man, compared to the people next door, youâre much luckier."
"Ah..."
"Crack..."
"Demon, Demon Ye, I was wrong, I didnât say anything!"
"Ye Haoyang, stop, my bones havenât healed yet, if you dare touch me, ah..."
The wails from the next room came incessantly, and Mu Niancheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling very fortunate he hadnât suffered any substantial harm.
When Ye Haoyang returned from the next room, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Brother, dear brother, donât worry, Iâll definitely deal with that sycophant when I go back, I promise there wonât be any rumors not benefiting Huaâen spreading."
However, he couldnât control the rumors, and instead they intensified. In just a few days, the whole Capital City was talking about the Mu Family sisters, and Mu Shaoling and Ye Haoyang were both summoned to the palace.
"There must be someone manipulating this from behind the scenes." Ye Haoxuan placed a piece on the board.
"Mu Huarong?"
Ye Haoxuan shook his head, "Brother, youâre too close to see clearly. According to you, Mu Huarong was injured and after escaping, she should be recuperating and strengthening herself."
"Then itâs the person who saved her."
"What? You donât think she escaped by herself?"
"It was disguised to look like she escaped herself, but upon careful investigation, something feels off." After a pause, Ye Haoyang said, "I just canât figure out who took her away and whether this person is targeting the Mu Family or me?"
"At present, it seems targeted at the Mu Family. However, maybe theyâre trying to hit the bullseye through a mountain, after all, if Huaâenâs reputation is damaged, most ordinary people might cancel the engagement, and if Mu and Ye Families broke off the engagement, their relationship would inevitably be affected. At that point, youâd lose a pillar, and even though Uncle Mu and Chengcheng arenât in the court, being the Emperorâs exclusive imperial doctors gives them more opportunities to contact the Emperor."
"Cancel the engagement? Haha, Iâm not doing that." Ye Haoyang sneered, "Not only wonât I cancel, but Iâll advance the marriage."
After saying that, he pushed aside the chess board and went to the Bamboo Courtyard.
"You want to get married next month?" Yang Chuxia was so surprised that she almost dropped her cup.
"Hmm, if I could do it this month, that would be even better."
Yang Chuxia, "..." Thereâs only seven days left in this month, and he dares to say that.
"Iâve already agreed with your Aunt Dongyang for December, changing the date now, your uncle probably wouldnât agree."
"Mom, youâll never know unless you try, right?" Ye Haoyang stepped forward and grabbed Yang Chuxiaâs sleeve, "Mom, I just want to get married next month."
