Murong Family Residence
The magnificent and magnificent villa was not the least bit inferior to the Imperial Family Residence. Perhaps it was because the owner's family was few in number, but the entire villa faintly revealed a gloomy and decadent atmosphere. The extravagance that was piled up with countless priceless treasures gave people a heavy feeling that made it hard for them to breathe. Murong Mingyan stepped through the door, and there were already groups of servants waiting for her. When they saw her return, they hurriedly welcomed her with joy. "Eldest Miss, you're finally back. Master was worried to death. "
Murong Mingyan frowned in disgust. She raised her head and looked at the group of servants with flattering faces in front of her. She also looked at the magnificent and majestic carved eaves and beams. She couldn't help but think of the elegant and otherworldly white-clothed man who looked like an immortal. Murong Mingyan bit the corner of her lips, and her eyes flashed with a determined light.
"Grandfather, Great Granduncle." Before she could return to her room, Murong Mingyan was called to the study by Master Murong. Master Murong wasn't the only one in the study. Her Great Granduncle Murong Xiong, who she had been afraid of since she was young, was also there. Master Murong coldly snorted and said, "You still know to come back?! You are Murong Family's Eldest Miss, who allowed you to run out? "
Murong Mingyan lowered her head and helplessly twirled the silk in her hand. She didn't dare to speak. In the eyes of outsiders, she was Murong Family's Eldest Miss. But since she was young, she never had the right to speak in front of her grandfather and Great Granduncle. All this time, she could only listen to what they said. But now … they were going to talk about her marriage. Master Murong saw her obedient appearance, and the anger in his heart subsided a little. He softened his tone and said, "Tomorrow is the last day of the Martial Arts Convention. Your Great Granduncle and I have already decided that you will be married to Yanwang Chamber's Pavilion Master, Ling Tiehan."
"But … Ling Tiehan is already 40 years old!" Murong Mingyan raised her head in astonishment and couldn't help but blurt out. 40 years old was already an old man to the 17 year old Murong Mingyan. If her father was still alive, Ling Tiehan would be a few years older than her father.
"Shut up!" Master Murong's face sank. He looked at Murong Mingyan with disappointment and said, "So what if he's 40 years old? With Ling Tiehan's martial arts cultivation and status, he is still very young. How many people in this world do you think can stand up to Lei Zhenting? I actually wanted to marry you to Prince Ding, but it's a pity that he doesn't like you and isn't even willing to come. "
Being mercilessly ridiculed by her own instructions, Murong Mingyan was so embarrassed that her entire face flushed red. Very quickly, her complexion turned deathly pale, and she was unable to speak for a long time.
In the end, she was his granddaughter, and she was his only bloodline in the world. Seeing her like this, Master Murong sighed and eased his expression. He said patiently, "We deliberately made such a scene for your sake. There were only a few truly capable people in this world. Prince Ding's refusal to come shows that he doesn't care about you or Murong Family's wealth. Moreover, everyone knows that Prince Ding is deeply in love with Princess Ding. Even the capital of the Northwest is named after her. Prince Ding won't abandon his wife for the sake of his reputation and the Xu family. Even if you marry him, you can only be a concubine. As for Emperor Chu and Prince Li, Emperor Chu already has the Liu family by his side. There's no room for us to interfere. I'm afraid that Prince Li won't be able to do much. But Ling Tiehan is different. He is the Master of Yanwang Chamber. He lives in Xi Ling, and he has a good relationship with Prince Ding. It was precisely because of this identity that no one dared to offend him even though he was not involved in any fights. Furthermore, Ling Tiehan hasn't married yet. If you marry him, you'll be the wife of the Pavilion Master of the King of Hell's Pavilion. You also have the support of the Murong family. Who in this world would dare to give you any face?
Murong Mingyan stubbornly bit her lip and didn't answer. Even if her grandfather praised Ling Tiehan, in Murong Mingyan's eyes, how could Ling Tiehan, who was dressed in plain clothes and looked ordinary, compare to the elegant Young Master Qingchen?
If Ye Li was here, she would definitely scoff at Murong Mingyan's taste. It wasn't that Ye Li thought Ling Tiehan was better than Xu Qingchen, but the two were completely different types. Although Ling Tiehan wasn't as handsome as Xu Qingchen, Mo Xiuyao, Feng San, and Han Mingxi, he was tall and straight. His appearance was also firm and handsome. Even if he was put together with these world famous handsome people, he would definitely not be drowned out. Moreover, on the surface, everyone thought that Xu Qingchen's temper was better than Ling Tiehan's. However, if Ye Li were to say, she was afraid that Ling Tiehan's heart was softer than Xu Qingchen's.
If Ye Li were to choose one of these two to be her husband, Ye Li would most likely choose Ling Tiehan and not Xu Qingchen. This also explained why Young Master Qingchen's appearance and wisdom were unparalleled in the world, but he still hadn't married. Sometimes, too much gentleness was actually a kind of alienation and indifference. Unfortunately, Murong Mingyan didn't understand this truth.
Murong Xiong coldly snorted and said, "This old man knows what little girl is thinking. You just think that Ling Tiehan is much older than you and his appearance isn't as handsome as many of the young masters who came to participate in the martial arts convention. It seems that Murong Family has spoiled you too much. How good do you think your appearance is? Tonight, you went to see that brat from the Xu family, right? Were you rejected? Your appearance may be called a beauty in An Cheng, but Da Chu State isn't Xi Ling. That brat from the Xu family has traveled the world, what kind of beauty hasn't he seen? With your appearance, if you stand next to that brat from the Xu family, I'm afraid you're not as good looking as him! You don't have to resent Ling Tiehan for being older than you. At forty years old, he can maintain the appearance of a thirty year old. At seventy years old, he can also maintain the appearance of a forty or fifty year old. Do you think you'll still be a beauty at fifty years old? At that time, it'll be him who dislikes you! If you marry that brat from the Xu family or Mo Xiuyao, I'm afraid you'll be left behind before you're thirty years old. "
"Great Granduncle!" These words could be said to be vicious. Murong Mingyan had never been humiliated like this in her entire life. This humiliation was personally given by her own family. Tears immediately flowed out and couldn't be stopped no matter how much she wiped them away.
"Cough … Uncle …" Master Murong coughed lightly. He also felt that Murong Xiong had gone too far. Although Murong Mingyan's appearance hadn't reached the point of being unparalleled in the world, it wasn't to the point of being disliked. The title of the number one beauty in An Cheng wasn't self-proclaimed. Although Master Murong wanted to attack Mingyan so that she wouldn't be too ignorant, there were some things that went too far.
Murong Xiong glanced at Murong Mingyan, but didn't say anything in the end. Master Murong looked at Murong Mingyan and said, "In short, your Great Granduncle and I have already decided on this matter. There's no need to say anything more. "
How could Murong Mingyan be willing to accept this? She steeled her heart and knelt in front of Master Murong, "Grandfather, Mingyan has a better idea. Pavilion Master Ling might not be the best choice." Master Murong raised his gray eyebrows. It wasn't that he looked down on Murong Mingyan, but he was very clear about his granddaughter's capabilities. Naturally, he didn't believe that Murong Mingyan had any good ideas. Murong Mingyan quickly said, "Young Master Qingchen."
Master Murong's expression changed, and he said angrily, "I've said so much to you, but you're still stubborn! In the end, you just can't bear to part with Xu Qingchen's face. You still dare to say it in such a dignified manner. Don't forget who was the one who lived a life of luxury with you all these years. " Murong Mingyan looked at Master Murong with tears in her eyes. Murong Xiong frowned and raised his hand to stop his nephew from shouting. He stared at Murong Mingyan and said, "Tell me about it." Murong Mingyan was overjoyed and quickly said, "Young Master Qingchen's wisdom is unparalleled. If … if we can make him agree to marry into the Murong family …"
