I made the villain right.

Fan Hua held the wine glass tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white, and his eyes moved back and forth between the faces of the two elders, hoping that they would say something to break the suffocating tense atmosphere.

"What does Your Majesty think of their friendship?" Shi Wei took the lead in breaking the deadlock and asked.

"They must be destined to be together."

Fan Hua breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but the next moment his heart was in suspense again.

King Shengqing narrowed his eyes, stared at Shi Wei, and said seriously: "I just don't know why General Shi looks down on my son. Could it be that he thinks my son is not worthy of your daughter? In my opinion, it is clear that your daughter is not worthy of my son."

When Shi Wei heard this, his brows tightened and he said in an unhappy tone: "Shengqing Wang, this is wrong. Your son is a killer leader, ruthless and murderous. My daughter is gentle, intelligent, and well-educated. How can she be a match for him! Besides, you poisoned Jin'er and almost killed her. How can I marry her to your family at ease?"

Both of them are fathers who protect their children, and things are about to get tense.

King Shengqing did not back down. With a sarcastic sneer on his face, he said loudly, "Your daughter is gentle and lovely? General Shi, are you blind? I heard that she is unruly and fierce, notorious, and has an outrageous temper. How can she be worthy of my heroic, elegant, and resourceful son!"

King Shengqing recalled the past events and his expression changed slightly. After a slight hesitation, he said, "And it was not me who poisoned your daughter."

Shi Wei was startled, his face solemn. He stared at the Holy King and asked, "Who is that?"

King Shengqing sighed, and after a moment's silence, he said, "It was my subordinate Bai Jin. I did have this idea back then, but I gave up. I was heartless to involve innocent children in the feud of the past. But Bai Jin knew the feud between you and me very well, and in order to help me find out the truth as soon as possible, he took the initiative to make the decision."

This matter has been weighing on Shi Wei's mind and he can't let it go.

Now, after hearing King Shengqing's explanation, the resentment he had towards King Shengqing dissipated a lot. Finally, he snorted coldly, indicating that he still had some dissatisfaction with him in his heart.

But then she remembered that the words of the Holy King just now had been derogatory towards her daughter, and she became angry again. She said with wide eyes, "All the rumors about my daughter are malicious slanders. My daughter is the eldest daughter of the general's mansion. She is both literary and martial. She is beautiful and intelligent. She is gentle and considerate. She is the best person in the world."

"My son is also the best person in the world, not as bad as the rumors say."

Fan Hua looked at the two people who suddenly started arguing and was at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to stop the fight.

If it were someone else, he would just tie them up and gag them.

But the people arguing across from him were his father and father-in-law, so he couldn't treat them in a rude manner.

Li Muci, who was watching the fight from the side, seemed unwilling to see the two elders continue arguing, so he interrupted and said, "I think they are both equally matched. No one should look down on the other."

As soon as these words were spoken, the four of them looked at Li Muci.

The aura of Shengqing Wang and Shi Wei gathered instantly. Facing the sudden invasion of hostile forces, the two began to form a united front and face the outside world together.

"Shut up." The two of them shouted in unison. The voice was filled with unquestionable authority and suddenly exploded in the air, making the surroundings seem quiet.

The two men glared at Li Muci, as if warning him not to talk too much. At this moment, they seemed to be united in their hatred of the enemy, and the awkward stalemate between them was completely gone.

"What do you mean they are the same? They are clearly a perfect match!"

After Shi Wei finished speaking, the Holy King continued, "It's a match made in heaven!"

Li Muci raised his eyebrows slightly, with a faint smile in his eyes. All this seemed to be within his expectations.

Well, he cured two twisted people.

Li Muci's lips slightly raised, but a sly look flashed in his eyes that was not easily noticed by others. He said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, the two elders are very satisfied with their marriage. What is there to argue about?"

After these words were spoken, Shengqing Wang and Shi Wei looked at each other, feeling embarrassed and at a loss for a moment.

They had just been arguing fiercely, belittling each other's children, but after hearing what Li Muci said, their previous quarrel seemed like a child's farce.

King Shengqing coughed lightly, wanting to refute but not knowing where to start, he just turned his head, picked up a glass of wine and drank it all, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

The spicy taste of the wine in his throat seemed to make him forget the embarrassment temporarily.

King Shengqing put down his wine glass and said slowly, "My son is a rare talent. The girl he chooses can't be bad. She must be as outstanding as him to be together with him."

When Shi Wei heard this, his expression eased a little, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes: "My daughter is excellent, and there are not many people who can match her. If the prince treats her sincerely, I naturally hope that they will be happy and well."

The Holy King looked directly at Shi Wei, his eyes showing a hint of sincerity and relief, and he spoke sincerely: "As a parent, all I wish for in this life is for my children to be happy and to be with me. I will let go of the past."

The atmosphere suddenly became harmonious. Fan Hua's lips curled slightly. Seeing that the time was right, he bowed deeply to the two elders, his eyes full of gratitude, and said to smooth things over: "Thank you, father and father-in-law, for your help."

After that, Fan Hua lightly moved to the side of Li Muci, touched his shoulder, and whispered: "You spoke up to help me without fear of life and death to resolve the deadlock. I owe you a favor."

Li Muci crossed his arms, looked at Fan Hua with a smug expression on his face, and said jokingly: "What a pity, when you got married, you should have treated me as a distinguished guest and placed me at the main table, and you should have prepared generous gifts for me, so as not to let me down for what I have done today."

Li Muci thought for a moment and said, "You owe me this favor for now, I'll ask you to pay it back some other day."

Fan Hua nodded slightly after hearing this.

Inside the house, the tense atmosphere just now disappeared, and both Shengqing Wang and Shi Wei showed relieved smiles on their faces.

When their eyes met, there was no longer the previous tension, but instead a tacit reconciliation.

Shi Wei was the first to raise the wine cup in his hand, and the wine swayed lightly in it, as if Shi Wei was in an excited mood at the moment, happy and encouraged by this rare harmony and happiness.

"Come, let us drink this cup together, and not leave until we are drunk. I pray that my daughter and her husband will live long and respectful lives together, sharing weal and woe, and that their good stories will be passed down forever."

Shi Wei's voice was full of enthusiasm, which infected others.

King Shengqing was also busy raising his cup, smiling broadly, and said generously: "That's right, I wish my son and daughter-in-law will have a deep love like mandarin ducks, live together for a long time, love each other for a lifetime, and be free from worries every year. From now on, our two families will be as close as one family!"

After they finished speaking, the two elders simultaneously raised their wine cups high up and lightly touched them in the air, making a clear sound.

Immediately, the two of them raised their heads and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, looking very generous.

King Shengqing and Shi Wei drank one cup after another. The more they drank, the happier they became, and the more they enjoyed themselves, the more smiles on their faces became more and more radiant.

Li Zhi also joined their battle.

Fan Hua looked at the scene at the moment, his eyes bright as stars. He smiled freely, his smile was like the spring breeze and warm sunshine. His whole body seemed to be wrapped in happiness, emitting warm light.

Mianmian, we did it, but it’s a pity that you couldn’t see the scene today.

Nothing can stop us from being together.

Gradually, after an unknown amount of time, their eyes began to become blurred and their words became increasingly unclear.

King Shengqing's steps were already a little unsteady and his body was shaking. If it weren't for Li Muci supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground.

He still raised his hand, trying to reach the wine jug, mumbling: "I am very happy today, one more... one more cup, I must... drink to my heart's content."

Shi Wei wasn't much better, his face was flushed from drinking.

He laughed loudly, and there was a hint of drunken madness in his laughter.

His body tilted and he almost hit the corner of the table. Fortunately, Fan Hua rushed forward to hold him up, but he was still struggling and shouting: "I'm not... not drunk, keep drinking."

Li Zhi also looked a little drunk, but also somewhat sober.

The Holy King suddenly held Shi Wei's hand, and said with guilt in his heart, "Although it was unintentional back then, the general's wife passed away, I..."

When Shi Wei heard this, his body stiffened slightly, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he quickly waved his hand, interrupting him and said, "There is no need to talk about the past. I just hope that our two families will be safe and sound in the future."

The Holy King raised his cup and said, "Okay, come, let's have a drink."

"Drink!" Shi Wei clinked glasses with King Shengqing and drank them all in one gulp.

Fan Hua and Li Muci looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Li Muci suddenly suggested: "Since they are already this drunk, there is no need to send them back. We can just let them stay at the mansion."

Fan Hua agreed, "I think so."

Li Zhi immediately said, "Come here, clean up the east wing and give them a place to stay."

"Yes." Butler Zhao waved his hand to signal several servants to tidy up the room in advance.

After a while, seeing the servant hurried back to lead the way, Fan Hua and Li Muci immediately helped the two drunk elders.

Li Muci was supporting Shi Weishi, and when he saw a pot of wine on the table out of the corner of his eye, he quietly took it with him.

Butler Zhao looked at Li Zhi, who looked drunk, and took a step forward to support him, but was rejected.

"No need. I'm not drunk and don't need help." After saying that, he walked heavily towards his residence, but he walked diagonally.

Butler Zhao was worried and followed closely, ready to straighten the man out at any time.

The two elders had lost their former dignity at this moment, and were like two children, being half-dragged and half-supported.

Under the light, the figure cast a long shadow and walked all the way towards the wing room.

Led by the servant, Fan Hua supported King Shengqing and walked towards a room.

Li Muci helped Shi Wei to move into the next room, and Shi Wei fell into a deep sleep after getting into bed.

After the Shengqing King came to bed, his eyes were a little blurry, and he murmured: "Ran'er...our Nan Nan is still alive."

His voice was filled with a complex emotion of endless vicissitudes and relief.

As he spoke, a tear fell from the corner of his eye, which made him look lovable: "It would be great if you were here too, so that our family could be reunited."

Seeing his father like this, Fan Hua pursed his lips, as if he was suppressing the sadness in his heart. He lowered his eyes and sat beside the bed, gently tucking the quilt for his father.

After a long while, he whispered, "Father, you should have a good rest."

Then he left the room and closed the door quietly. Just as he took a step, he felt a gaze behind him.
