Chapter 160 He hesitates to speak
A fierce wind swept in, carrying snow.
Amidst the biting cold, a figure slowly approached from afar.
The candlelight at the banquet illuminated her fair, jade-like face, as if coating it with a layer of light. Standing in the light, she stood tall before everyone, dazzling and radiant.
The banquet fell silent instantly.
The guests were momentarily lost in thought, their minds drifting back to the controversies and rumors surrounding her during this period.
Di Qiang frowned, unsure of her purpose in coming.
Ying Yu immediately stood up, losing his composure.
He didn't expect her to come.
The elders of Beihai hadn't expected this either.
"Female concubine".
The old witch doctor came over, sweating profusely. He knew the inside story and wanted to remind Mu Yunyun to hold back and not make things too ugly.
Mu Yunyun ignored her and looked at the person at the head of the banquet.
"Having heard that the Dijiang clan is holding a grand banquet today, I have shamelessly come here, hoping to also receive a cup of celebratory wine."
Her voice was gentle, her attitude humble, and she had no intention of causing trouble at all. In fact, there was a hint of sorrow in her expression, which was very touching.
The clansmen immediately perked up from the alcohol.
Those who were unaware of the situation were completely confused and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Someone offered an explanation.
"The two were in love, but were hindered by their social status."
"That's right. At the Autumn Mountain Banquet, the young clan leader threatened Beihai with his reputation, which forced him to agree."
"The news of the two becoming sworn brothers spread throughout the entire Yuanzhou. I heard that the ceremony had already been completed, but the Dijiang clan forcibly disrupted it."
"There's nothing we can do. This concubine is of low status. Even if she has the backing of the Jiang Shuiqi clan, how can she compare to the Dijiang clan?"
People couldn't help but feel sympathy for them.
"It's just a cup of wedding wine, surely the clan leader won't object?"
Someone stood up.
Mu Yunyun looked over.
It turned out to be the same group of people who had threatened to leave at the last banquet.
It seems to be a clan from Fengying; she has a vague recollection of it.
Di Qiang's face immediately darkened.
Feng Ying and his gang just love to stir up trouble.
However, she had no intention of arguing with them.
"It's just a cup of wine. Once you're seated, you're a guest. How can you disagree?"
Di Qiang beckoned: "Someone prepare a seat." His tone showed he didn't take Mu Yunyun seriously at all.
She looked down on this race born in a poor rural area and didn't think they could cause any trouble.
Yinghua quickly came over and invited her to sit down. He intended to join her, but unexpectedly, all the young females surrounded her.
These people belong to the Yuanzhou clan.
The collateral branches of the family prepared generous gifts to attend Mu Yunyun's betrothal banquet, while those of their status were required to attend the Dijiang Clan's banquet.
As soon as Mu Yunyun arrived, the crowd, who already had a good impression of her, gathered around to greet her.
"Why did they suddenly come here? What about the Yao family?"
"Yes, yes, I heard that Beihai has changed its alliance with the Yao clan. The Yao clan is one of the top clans, and all the males are the bravest warriors."
"Could it be that she's not good-looking? Or has a bad figure?"
The chattering little females looked on with curiosity.
Mu Yunyun sat down, not answering directly, but only giving a bitter smile: "Everything is fine, it's just..."
"Just what?"
"It's nothing." Mu Yunyun picked up her cup, swallowed the bitter tea, and drank it all in one gulp.
The little females felt like they were being scratched by a cat when they saw her like this.
"Speak up, what's so hard to say? Are you still thinking about the young clan leader of Beihai?"
"Let me give you a piece of advice: with the status of a young clan leader, one is not in control of one's own destiny. You must not do anything foolish."
Mu Yunyun smiled gently.
"Of course, I am of lowly status and cannot possibly reach your level, so why would I do anything foolish? It's just..."
Mu Yunyun hesitated again, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
