Chapter 249 Imbalance

Xu He couldn't help but feel jealous of Liu Mengyan just by thinking about it.

She had no idea what methods Liu Mengyan used to make Jiang Mochuan so devoted to her, that the heir of a top family would marry her.

Normal males wouldn't do that; it's not just a normal marriage downgrade.

Even if Liu Mengyan from the Liu family were to marry into the Jiang family, she still wouldn't be able to climb the social ladder of the Jiang family.

She also admired Jiang Mochuan, but only from afar; she didn't dare to even think about anything else.

Liu Mengyan not only dared to dream, but she also made it happen.

Liu Mengyan liked to wear plain white clothes, which made her look incredibly pure. Her mother also made her wear plain clothes to palace banquets, saying that it would look better that way.

“Mother, nowadays so many females are imitating Liu Mengyan, wearing plain-colored clothes. If everyone imitates her, then nothing is special anymore.”

The head of the Xu family said seriously, "What do you know? The fact that Liu Mengyan's attire can attract those outstanding males shows that they like this style and prefer females who wear plain clothes and dress simply."

"This kind of temperament is very popular with outstanding males. Nowadays, no one likes flashy and gaudy clothes, so don't hold them back."

Nowadays, the aesthetics of Beast King City are all based on Liu Mengyan's dressing style, and the Xu family head also requires Xu Hesi to follow suit.

"This kind of attire makes you appear pure and kind."

"Even if you're going to pretend, you should at least pretend properly. Once you marry your beast husband and everything settles down, you'll be in charge of everything."

Although the head of the Xu family had high hopes for Xu Hejing, Xu Hejing would eventually marry out, and it was Xu Hesi who would inherit the family business.

Therefore, the head of the Xu family still hoped that Xu Hesi would marry a male with a powerful background and status to be her beast husband.

"Even if you don't have Liu Mengyan's abilities, you can learn from Dong Baishang. After she married Duan Tingxuan, the Dong family received a lot of help, and the Duan family gave Duan Tingxuan an extremely generous dowry."

"Even if Dong Baishang stopped pretending later, the Duan family couldn't do anything about her. Once Duan Tingxuan married into the Dong family, he would also be a member of the Dong family and would have to consider the Dong family's interests."

The head of the Xu family was quite envious, feeling that both of them were quite capable.

Looking at Xu Hesi again, I was quite disappointed, mainly because Xu Hesi was a bit spoiled and arrogant, unlike Liu Mengyan and Dong Baishang who were good at putting on airs.

These two exceptions gave hope to many females from humble backgrounds, who began to try every means to marry beastmen with strong social standing and abilities.

Xu Hesi said, "Mother, it's not that easy. Our Xu family is a powerful family. Even if we wanted to get close to those men of high status, we wouldn't have a way. Do you think we can just get close to them whenever we want? We don't even see those people normally."

The head of the Xu family said, "Young Master Yan of the Yan family and Young Master Wei of the Wei family are the most outstanding heirs of aristocratic families, even surpassing the princes. If you can catch their eye, our Xu family will be different."

“I didn’t dare to dream before, but now I want to dream and think about it.”

Xu Hesi's heart pounded violently at the mention of Yan Zhaoye and Wei Jin'an, the two orcs.

Such a person, even just dreaming about him excites her.

"Mother, it's said that the young master of the Moon Clan is like a god. Could he possibly appear at the palace banquet?"

Xu Hesi felt that it would be an honor for her to meet someone like Young Master Yue.

Looking at his daughter's shy expression, the Xu family head poured cold water on her, saying, "Don't even think about someone like the Moon Clan's young master. The Moon Clan has a special status, and the Moon Clan's young master has returned to the Southern Frontier. You can't see him at all."

"Even the Empress's order couldn't persuade them to stay. They live in seclusion and don't participate in court disputes. Even the position of Grand Preceptor couldn't be obtained from them."

When the Xu family head spoke of the Moon Clan, his voice involuntarily softened, as if afraid of saying something disrespectful.

Normal orcs would instinctively feel awe and respect towards the Moon Clan.

The head of the Xu family was no exception.

Xu Hesi seemed to have thought of something, and a look of jealousy flashed in her eyes. "Then why was Su Muyao able to marry Young Master Yue as his beast husband back then?"

She felt extremely resentful about this. Why?
The head of the Xu family shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Xu Hejing listened to his mother and sister talking without saying a word. His expression was calm and indifferent, as if the palace banquet had nothing to do with him.

...In the blink of an eye, it was time for the palace banquet. The banquet would begin after dark and there would be performances.

People usually start entering the palace in the afternoon.

Su Fu
Su Muyao and Wen Nanxi ate lunch early and then started packing.

Wen Nanxi and the others were dressed simply and casually, mainly Su Muyao.

When Su Muyao put on the gorgeous dress that Hua Linye had made for her, Wen Nanxi and the other four were all stunned.

Su Muyao was already extremely beautiful, but wearing such a gorgeous dress showcased her beauty to the fullest.

She was like a celestial maiden descended to earth, so noble and dazzling, so beautiful that they couldn't take their eyes off her.

Su Muyao looked at Wen Nanxi and the others as if they had become statues, completely motionless.

"What's wrong? Is your outfit different from usual?"

Su Muyao usually dresses very casually, unlike her more formal attire now.

Hearing Su Muyao's words, Wen Nanxi and the others came back to their senses and said, "It is different, but the wife is very, very beautiful."

Shen Ci'an's narrow eyes shimmered with a hint of light. "What should I do? I don't want my wife to attend the palace banquet. She's so beautiful; what if others see her like that?"

Xiao Jihan pinched his brow with some worry and said, "I'm really afraid that others will try to take it from me."

Hua Linye had seen his wife try on the clothes before, so he was prepared.

He originally wanted to do something for his wife, but when he thought about how she was going to attend a palace banquet where almost all the outstanding young males in the Beast King City would be present, he felt a pang of jealousy.

Su Muyao said, "If you don't like it, I'll change my clothes."

For her, the feelings of her husbands were more important than the palace banquet.

Everyone shook their heads and said, "That won't do. The wife must stun the entire audience."

Wen Nanxi said gently, "My lady, please sit down first, and I will style your hair."

Wen Nanxi knew that Su Muyao wasn't good at styling her hair, and that Su Muyao usually styled her hair in simple ways.

However, palace banquets are formal occasions, and formal hairstyles are indeed required.

She really doesn't.

"Okay, then you do it for me."

Su Muyao trusts Wen Nanxi a lot.

Hua Linye asked, "Wen Nanxi, you actually know how to tie the hair ornaments for the palace banquet? I've never heard you mention it before."

Wen Nanxi explained, "I've only been learning for a short time."

He has recently studied and practiced this skill.

A slight smile appeared on Shen Ci'an's lips as he said, "You're always so meticulous, and you consider things more thoroughly than we do."

They would think about preparing clothes and jewelry, but they never thought about tying their hair up.

Wen Nanxi reached out and gently combed and styled Su Muyao's hair, letting the smooth, black strands of hair pass through his palm, making him love it so much.

Xiao Jihan and the others watched as Wen Nanxi's fingers ran through his wife's hair, and they all began to envy him.

Mei Qingchen tightened his grip on his side. He wanted to formally form a contract with his wife, but he hadn't found a suitable opportunity yet.

Wen Nanxi's fingertips accidentally brushed against her neck, the cool, jade-like touch causing Su Muyao's sensitive body to tremble slightly, as if her heartstrings had been scalded.

Wen Nanxi looked at her fair and jade-like neck skin, and his breath caught in his throat.
