Chapter 252 Taking the Crazy Strangeness to the Extreme
The seventh princess's eyes widened, her expression somewhat aggrieved.
"Why?"
Su Mowan also felt that the two were not a good match. On this matter, she and Murong Jing shared the same opinion.
A man like Su Mobai is either paired with a very strong woman or a gentle and tender one.
The Seventh Princess is really not a good match for Su Mobai.
But she couldn't say that herself; it was up to Murong Jing. Thinking this, Su Mowan pursed her lips and remained silent.
Murong Jing looked up at the Seventh Princess, seemingly searching for a reason that would be acceptable to her.
Su Mowan waited for a long time, only to hear Murong Jing say indifferently, "You are too young and not suitable for Su Mobai."
Su Mowan sighed, knowing that the Seventh Princess would definitely refute this reason.
Sure enough, the Seventh Princess immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "What's the big deal? Third Brother, you and Sister-in-law Mo Wan are so different in age, but I've never seen her complain that you're old."
"..."
Su Mowan could hardly contain herself anymore; the Seventh Princess really dared to say anything.
She may have the shell of a sixteen-year-old, but she has the soul of a twenty-something. How can she be compared to the Seventh Princess, who is almost of marriageable age but still looks like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl?
Murong Jing was clearly speechless at the Seventh Princess's words.
It was at this moment that he realized that there was actually such a big age difference between him and Su Mowan.
However, he felt that being with Su Mowan wasn't like having a child with him, so he couldn't compare it to the situation with the Seventh Princess.
Then Su Mowan heard Murong Jing say, "You and Su Mobai are not only a matter of age, but also of status, temperament, and appearance. You are not suitable for each other."
The Seventh Princess could accept her previous identity and temperament, but to say that she and Su Mobai were not a good match in appearance, was this still her Third Brother?
How can an imperial brother speak so disparagingly of his own sister!
Despite her displeasure, the Seventh Princess knew that what was said was true. Su Mobai was very good-looking, while she was at most above average. If we only talk about appearance, she was indeed a step below.
But fortunately, her status is a level higher than Su Mobai's!
The Seventh Princess glanced at Su Mowan and pouted, saying, "But Third Brother, I am a princess, and although I am not born to Mother, I am still a suitable match for Su Mobai, right?"
Clearly, the Seventh Princess did not understand Murong Jing's meaning.
Upon hearing this, Murong Jing raised an eyebrow, and his words stunned the Seventh Princess into silence.
He said, "What I mean is that your status is not worthy of Su Mobai."
The Seventh Princess stared wide-eyed at Murong Jing in disbelief, then quickly glanced at Su Mowan behind Murong Jing, who had a calm expression, blinked once, then blinked again.
“How, how could this happen?!”
She knew that her third brother didn't mean to belittle her, so it could only mean that Su Mobai's status was indeed higher than hers.
But isn't Su Mobai just an illegitimate son of the General's Mansion? How could he be more noble than a princess like her?
The seventh princess couldn't understand it.
However, she also knew that Su Mobai was no ordinary person. Six years ago, when Su Mobai became famous, she was only an eight or nine-year-old child, but she could still feel the shock.
It's also her fault for losing her mind after just one glance at Su Mobai. Even if Su Mobai's status is lower than hers, he probably wouldn't like someone like her.
The seventh princess felt incredibly wronged as she thought about it. For the first time in her life, she had the courage to say that she liked someone, only to be hurt in such a blatant way.
This hurt also came from her third brother, who loved her the most.
The Seventh Princess was completely dejected. She probably felt embarrassed and ashamed, but the fact that she was not good enough for Su Mobai had already overwhelmed that embarrassment, leaving her only feeling lost, helpless, and aggrieved.
Seeing that Murong Jing and Su Mowan were both looking at her without saying a word, the Seventh Princess pouted, looking like she was about to cry.
"Third brother, you're so mean! Couldn't you have put it more tactfully? Even if I'm not good enough for Su Mobai, I'm still pretty good, okay? How am I supposed to face anyone after you say that!"
Su Mowan smiled. She really couldn't be tactful with the Seventh Princess; if she were, she would only be harming her.
Murong Jing's expression remained unchanged.
"I am doing this for your own good."
"Fine, fine, fine, it's for my own good! I'm leaving now! Humph!"
After the seventh princess finished humming, she turned around, opened the door, and ran out.
Looking at the Seventh Princess's retreating figure, Su Mowan knew she must be upset, so she planned to go over and comfort her later.
Who knew that Murong Jing could know what she was thinking? He turned his head and looked up at her, saying, "You're not allowed to coax her later. There's no room for discussion on this."
Su Mowan could only hum in agreement.
She felt that the Seventh Princess was at the age of just beginning to experience romantic feelings, and it was natural for her to be attracted to someone who was good-looking. She thought that after a while, her feelings would fade.
They might have completely forgotten that such a thing ever happened.
"Is this the important thing you're talking about?" Murong Jing asked.
"Isn't that important enough? It's rare for the Seventh Princess to be so serious. However, what you just said was indeed too direct; she's still a child."
Murong Jing suddenly pulled her in front of him.
"She's still a child? Does that mean you are too?"
"..."
Su Mowan cleared her throat, feeling somewhat uncomfortable under Murong Jing's gaze: "I'm not the same as the Seventh Princess."
If she were a child, wouldn't he find it hard to bring himself to hug and cuddle her every night?
This was just something she thought to herself; Su Mowan wouldn't dare say it aloud. Seeing Murong Jing holding her hand tightly again, she felt an indescribable awkwardness.
He doesn't care how he poops at night, but Su Mowan isn't used to it during the day.
"I'll go out and take a look first. You and Feng Yue can continue discussing it."
As Su Mowan was speaking, she was about to call Feng Yue in when Murong Jing suddenly pulled her gently to his side, frowned, and then dragged her onto his lap.
Su Mowan was stunned by his movement, her mind going blank. After regaining her senses, she tried to get up. Murong Jing had a problem with his legs; how could he just sit on them like that?!
Murong Jing pressed the person down and said, "It's alright."
After the initial shock, Su Mowan panicked. She was certain that Murong Jing was going to continue his erratic behavior today.
Although she was sitting on Murong Jing's lap, Su Mowan's feet could touch the ground. She shifted her weight slightly onto her feet and turned to look at Murong Jing.
"what do you want to say?"
Coincidentally, her gaze was level with Murong Jing's.
As soon as she turned her head, she fell into Murong Jing's deep eyes, and Su Mowan clearly saw her reflection.
At this moment, the four words truly came to life: "breathing within earshot."
Su Mowan felt that their breaths were intertwined, creating an indescribable ambiguity.
If a fire were set now, it would probably start burning.
Murong Jing stared intently at her, his thin lips moved slightly, and he said, "You and I are a perfect match."
"..."
Is this comparison derived from the Seventh Princess incident?
Su Mowan went through what Murong Jing had said to the Seventh Princess. Their identities, personalities, and appearances seemed to be a perfect match.
It's just that his personality is a bit of a mystery.
Hearing someone say something like "whether we're a good match" like that made Su Mowan's face burn.
She lowered her eyes slightly, not daring to look Murong Jing in the eye.
"I didn't say I wasn't good enough."
Murong Jing's thin lips were almost touching hers. After a moment of hesitation, Su Mowan heard him say, "Do you think I'm too old?"
"..."
Su Mowan suddenly realized that Murong Jing was quite a serious person. He still remembered what the Seventh Princess had said.
Su Mowan looked up, glanced at it, and then looked away.
"It's okay, I don't mind."
"..."
Murong Jing's breathing immediately became much lighter.
Su Mowan felt his arm around her tighten slightly, and thought to herself, "Did I not offend anyone with that statement?"
Just as she was thinking this, she felt Murong Jing's thin lips getting closer and closer, his breath tickling her face.
He is going to...
Su Mowan's heart was pounding with nervousness.
The last time Murong Jing kissed her, it was on the river, and it was at night, so she didn't feel particularly embarrassed.
It's broad daylight now... Su Mowan thought her face must be completely red.
She tilted her head slightly, and Murong Jing's lips missed their mark.
"Let's reschedule! I... I'm leaving now!"
As Su Mowan spoke, she braced herself on the wheelchair and was about to get up when Murong Jing stopped her.
"What are you nervous about?"
Damn it, how could she not be nervous?
Murong Jing probably thought she was an experienced driver, but she was clearly an innocent person!
Murong Jing's slender fingers suddenly reached to her lips and gently caressed them.
"Has the King of Chu ever kissed you?"
"……No!"
Murong Jin and she hadn't even reached the point of being intimate; they hadn't even held hands.
"What about the others?"
"Others? Who?" Su Mowan looked completely bewildered.
Seeing this expression, Murong Jing's mood inexplicably improved. Wasn't this the wild man Su Mobai had mentioned who could both cook and dress the young woman?
However, it seems there's no need to bring it up again now.
So Murong Jing released his grip and gave the order: "Cook for me tonight."
The conversation abruptly shifted to food before it was even finished. But Su Mowan was eager to leave, so she readily agreed, got up, and went to leave.
When Feng Yue saw her leave, he didn't dare to look up and just bowed his head to see her off.
Su Mowan quickly fanned her face and rubbed it as she walked.
This is really tough! Being alone with Murong Jing is a real test of my endurance!
It was already evening, and Su Mowan thought she could go cook. It got dark early these days, and by the time she finished cooking, Murong Jing and Feng Yue should have finished talking.
The image flashed through her mind, and Su Mowan frowned. The image not only showed the terrain but also indicated the distribution of troops.
Murong Jing deployed a large number of troops in the northeast corner of Yanxue. But isn't that the border between Yanxue and Dongli? How did Murong Jing manage to get his troops there?
Although Dongli and Yunmo are related by marriage, who can feel at ease allowing so many troops from another country to be deployed on their own territory?
