When Second Brother Mu Chongwu ordered to save that woman, Die’er had just pulled her husband in.
She was wearing a hooded veil, so Second Brother did not see her, but she saw her second brother clearly.
She truly saw the heartache and tenderness in her second brother’s eyes, and couldn’t help but exclaim to King Jing, "Husband, did I see wrong? Look at Second Brother, has he fallen for the woman kicked by the horse?"
Upon hearing his wife’s words, King Jing couldn’t help but scrutinize his brother-in-law. After observing for a while, he thoughtfully said, "To be honest, such a sign is indeed there. But this woman looks very ordinary, and her attire is nothing out of the ordinary. Would Second Brother really fall for her?"
Cai Die was sowhat puzzled. Both her elder brother and second brother are known for having high standards and are unwilling to compromise in choosing a partner. Her elder brother married Sister-in-law Yanran, who is not remarkable in appearance or family background. It was said they t outside; if it is a growing affection over ti, that’s understandable. But Second Brother just looked at that woman with clear love and pity in his eyes. That woman’s looks and attire are very average; she can’t compare to them sisters. Second Brother has no reason to like her?
Seeing his young wife deep in thought, King Jing didn’t want her to overthink and reminded her, "Instead of pondering here, why not send soone to keep an eye on things? Once everything is clear at Shi Chen, the truth will be revealed. However, as far as I can see, it’s very likely Second Brother is truly interested in this woman. Look, he’s left people to take care of her and asked for the best doctor. If we’re lucky, there could be another joyous event for our house!"
Although Cai Die was not entirely satisfied with Second Sister-in-law’s appearance, if her brother liked her, she wouldn’t say anything. Yet, in her heart, she felt vaguely uneasy. Her elder brother had already married a concubine from a declining family, which she thought was low enough. If Second Brother were to fancy a daughter from a lowly commoner family, wouldn’t people gossip?
However, despite not wishing for her brother to marry such a woman in her heart, she would still support her brother’s decision. After all, the most important thing is not family background or appearance but the woman’s character and conduct.
Both elder brother and second brother are very proper people; they would never marry an unreliable woman into the family!
...
Wanyan Chao awoke after half a Shi Chen had passed, and by then Mu Chongwu had already found him and was speaking with Bright Pearls.
Seeing Wanyan Chao awake, Mu Chongwu, with a hand on his forehead, said, "Thank Heaven, Your Highness, you’ve finally awoken. Now, is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable? I’ve already sent for the Imperial Physician, so please wait a mont; the physician will be here shortly."
However, Wanyan Chao’s eyes remained fixed on Bright Pearls, urgently asking, "Bright Pearls, are you alright? Why did you faint just now? Were you frightened by ?"
Though he had clearly been ambushed and fainted, he was only concerned for her. Bright Pearls felt warmth in her heart, yet she chided, "I’m fine, but as for you, you got punched by that hateful Ba Tulu. Quickly, check if you’re injured anywhere!"
Only then did Wanyan Chao rember himself. As he moved his body, he suddenly felt his neck hurt as if it were broken, involuntarily hissing and gritting his teeth, "That damned Tartar, let not see him again, otherwise I must kill him."
Chong Wu said, "If Prince Ba Tulu died in Our Great Jin Dynasty, Your Highness would bring great trouble to Jin. I think it’s better to let this matter go. If you really can’t swallow this indignity, report to The Emperor and Empress Dowager and let them decide for you."
Wanyan Chao disdained acting like a child, running to adults to complain when wronged. This ti, he had truly fostered a grudge with Ba Tulu, but now that he was in Jin, he didn’t want to cause trouble for Bright Pearls’ Imperial Father and Mother. This matter wasn’t over yet; when he returned, he would definitely settle accounts with that savage...
