The couple ate breakfast in the house. Xie Xuanchen enjoyed his wife’s meticulous care and gradually began to wander again. His thoughts about last night suddenly wavered. He thought to himself that he had missed the chance to come clean last night anyway, so there was no harm in pretending for another day.
In the evening, Senior General Xu prepared a celebration banquet for everyone. Mu Mingtang was grateful to the Xu family for taking care of them these days. Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang both gave the Xu family some respect and attended on time. At this moment, the dining room was already very lively. All the children of the Xu family were here. Since Senior General Xu had seven sons and they married wives and had children…
It was really a gathering of a group of people. Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen were sitting on the side, watching the children running all over the ground, feeling shocked. Mu Mingtang spoke quietly to Xie Xuanchen, “I have never seen such a big family gathering.”
“Me neither,” Xie Xuanchen said with emotion, “I just realised that you could fill 4 or 5 tables with just the members of an immediate family.”
They both looked at each other, surprised. Although he was not used to it, Xie Xuanchen suddenly felt envious when he saw children running around on the ground, the brothers talking in duos and trios and the sisters-in-law gathering in a group to talk.
He discussed it with Mu Mingtang very seriously,”Actually, having more children is also advantageous. Just like Senior General Xu, when he gave birth to seven sons, he could help his family no matter what he planned on doing. In the future, we will also give our children a younger brother or sister.”
Mu Mingtang glanced at him and said nothing. Xie Xuanchen became more and more excited when he thought about this, to the point where he was even considering if it would be better to have a younger son or daughter.
Mu Mingtang’s face was red until dinner time. When 5th Madam Xu saw it, she asked in a loud voice, “Your Highness, why are you blushing?”
Xie Xuanchen looked back at Mu Mingtang and smiled without saying a word. She pretended to be calm and said, “It’s hot.”
Xie Xuanchen poured a glass of water and put it next to Mu Mingtang, “Do you feel hot?”
Mu Mingtang pinched him quietly and said, “Maybe it’s because there’s no ventilation, I just need to take a break and it’ll be fine,” After saying that, she glared at him secretly, silently asking him not to stir trouble.
Since it was a family dinner, there was no need to worry about men and women interactions. Xie Xuanchen took Mu Mingtang to sit in the chairman’s chair, accompanied by Senior General Xu and Senior Madam Xu. At the dinner table, several men couldn’t help but talk about court affairs, “The news of King Dongdan’s capture has been sent to the capital. With how sinister of a person Ye Luyan is, I wonder if he will withdraw his troops without caring about King Dongdan’s life.”
“He definitely doesn’t care,” Xie Xuanchen himself had some experience and could predict Ye Luyan’s thoughts just by guessing. If someone arrested the Emperor and threatened Xie Xuanchen with his life, he would definitely think it was nonsense. He was more than eager for the other party to step down, so how could he be threatened?
For Ye Luyan, Xie Xuanchen wouldn’t think there would be any difference.
