Chapter 834: Stunning Loneliness (3)
Crown Princess Consort? Mo Yan was surprised, never having thought that the Crown Princess Consort would come.
Seeing this, Liu Tinglan thought Mo Yan was overjoyed and said with a smile to Xin Er, "Those people were right, it’s not that your sister has a spouse; how many young girls coming of age get the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Consort to personally come and offer congratulations?"
Xin Er shook her head and said, "The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Consort are here on behalf of Brother Xiao’s parents to propose marriage for him; otherwise, the match wouldn’t be quite proper."
The secretive affairs of Lord Wei Yuan House were only circulated among the upper class, and Liu Tinglan, not being privy to such information, had no idea about the discord between the Xiao father and son. Upon hearing that the Crown Prince and his wife were coming to propose marriage on behalf of Xiao Ruiyuan’s parents, she wondered, "Then where are Sir Xiao’s parents? No matter how busy they are, they should come over for their own son’s lifelong matter, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xin Er’s expression changed and she looked nervously at Mo Yan.
Previously, because of this matter, their father had been displeased with Brother Xiao for a while and nearly disagreed to this engagement, fearing that after her sister entered the Xiao Family, she would suffer at the hands of Brother Xiao’s father and stepmother. Her sister and Brother Xiao had taken quite some effort to reassure their father!
Liu Tinglan, seeing this, could guess there was an unspoken secret at play, and immediately felt a pang of regret. She quickly tried to make amends, "It’s an honor for the Crown Prince couple to come and propose a marriage for Sir Xiao, something others would beg for but not receive. It puts you in a good light as well, nothing could be better."
Mo Yan felt there was nothing to hide since everyone else would eventually find out, but the present moment wasn’t the right time for such discussions, so she said, "Some things can’t be explained in just a few words, I’ll tell you when the time is right."
