Chapter 647 Mother Arrives in Person
Wang Xiangyang, who had previously been implanted as Meng Wei's adopted son, was following behind her with a sad face, his face full of helplessness and anxiety, as if he knew very well what was about to happen.
Behind the two of them followed Ehuang and Nuying, who had been implanted next to Meng Wei, as well as Wei Zifu, Zhangsun Wugou, Xi Shi and other confidantes of Su Ye, who had been left behind in Cangzhou by Su Ye because of the war.
The large group of people made the originally spacious study room seem a little crowded.
Seeing his mother's aggressive look, Su Ye's face froze slightly and he secretly groaned in his heart.
I wanted to find an excuse saying that I was busy so as to temporarily avoid this "Hongmen Banquet".
But Gao Jiong, Di Renjie and others were obviously unwilling to get involved in this mess. They looked at each other tacitly, then stood up and left together.
Before leaving, she did not forget to give Su Ye a look that said "good luck to you", and was very disloyal to leave him here alone.
The corner of Su Ye's mouth twitched, and he cursed these guys inwardly for being disloyal, but he could only bite the bullet, force a smile, and bow to greet his mother.
"Mother, why did you come in person? You didn't even inform me in advance so that I could prepare to welcome you."
Su Ye tried his best to make his tone sound relaxed and natural, but his eyes involuntarily drifted towards the close female friends behind him, trying to find a little comfort.
"Why, does a mother need to report in advance when she comes to visit her son? Or is there some shameful secret in your Tianheng Mansion?"
Meng Wei chuckled, with a hint of cunning hidden in her smile.
"Mother, you are joking. How dare your son hide anything from you?"
"It's just that there are so many things to do at the recent martial arts conference, and I have to build the Jixia Academy for Mr. Yiwu. There are so many things to do, and I really can't spare the time."
Su Ye's heart trembled, but he remained calm and explained quickly.
"Alas, mother is all alone in Prince Yun's mansion, with no one to accompany her. It's not like here where it's so lively. Look, have you ever gone back to see me these days?"
Seeing this, Meng Wei curled up the corner of her mouth into a meaningful smile.
"Mother, you are too kind. I am too busy with the war to spare any time. I will come home more often to accompany you and never let you feel lonely."
Su Ye secretly groaned inwardly when he heard this. He knew that his mother was teasing him on purpose, but he could only put on a smile and apologize repeatedly.
"Oh, that night, do you know what your mother was looking forward to the most?"
Meng Wei did not pursue the matter further, but changed the subject, looking at Wei Zifu, Zhangsun Wugou, Xi Shi and others, and sighed in a pretended sad manner.
"Whatever wish you have, mother, I will do my best to satisfy it."
Su Ye muttered to himself in his heart, but had to cooperate and asked.
"As the saying goes, you should start a career after you get married. But now you have already taken control of three states and are a powerful figure in all directions. I don't need to worry about your career. But you haven't made any progress in starting a family yet. How can I not be anxious?"
Having said this, she deliberately paused for a moment, her gaze sweeping over Wei Zifu, Zhangsun Wugou, Xi Shi and others one by one, her eyes full of scrutiny and expectation.
"Zi Fu, Wu Gou, Xi Shi, they are all rare good women, and they also have deep feelings for you."
"You can't let them follow you like this forever without any status, right? When can you give them a name and give me an explanation?"
As an old mother, she is very worried about her son who is always fighting everywhere and can't even take care of his confidante.
When other people's children reach Su Ye's age, they can't even start a family, and their children can almost do housework.
Not to mention building a career, Su Ye's current achievements are so great that no one of his peers in the world can be better than him in this respect.
When Su Ye heard this, he immediately understood that his mother came here to urge him to get married!
However, he also knew his mother's good intentions. After all, in this chaotic world, a stable family is undoubtedly the best support for him. "Mother, I have my own plans. We need to take our time and not rush into anything."
He couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he had to remain calm on the surface.
"Ye'er, do you know that time is unforgiving? Girls like Zifu and Wugou have been with you for so long, their youth will not wait for anyone."
"Mother is not forcing you, I just hope you can give them a name, and let mother hold her grandchildren sooner."
Meng Wei shook her head gently and spoke earnestly.
Su Ye felt mixed emotions when he heard this.
He naturally knew that what his mother said was true, and his feelings for Wei Zifu, Zhangsun Wugou, Xi Shi and others were by no means shallow. However, how could such a serious matter as marriage be treated lightly?
During that period of time, he was busy fighting wars all over the territory of Daqian, so it was indeed not appropriate for him to have too many female relatives around him.
The only few women around him are fierce warriors like Zhuque, Dongjun Feiyan and Jingwei who can be brought around for a fight at any time.
Therefore, this kind of love affair had been delayed by Su Ye.
He is now free and the war has stopped, but Su Ye is already a local overlord, owning three states and holding great power. Every decision he makes may affect the fate of countless people.
As a result, he can no longer take his marriage lightly.
This also requires considering the need to marry into the aristocratic families under his command.
The three states had just been settled, and it was the time to recuperate and work hard to govern. Marriage was undoubtedly an effective way to quickly win over the aristocratic families and reduce internal friction.
Through marriage, he could transform potential opponents into allies, thereby more firmly grasping the power of the three states and laying a solid foundation for future hegemony.
However, marriage is ultimately about personal emotions and happiness.
While Su Ye was weighing the pros and cons, he couldn't help but fall into deep trouble.
He was unwilling to disappoint those affectionate women, nor did he want to treat his marriage as a political transaction.
"Princess, your Highness knows what's right. We are all willing to wait for your reply."
Just as he was hesitating, Wei Zifu stepped forward and spoke gently.
Changsun Wugou and Xi Shi also expressed their opinions one after another, which made Su Ye feel warm in his heart.
Zhangsun Wugou and Wei Zifu are both virtuous wives who can be ranked as virtuous queens, so they naturally would not embarrass Su Ye.
"Ye'er, mother knows that you are a responsible child, but matters of the heart also require you to feel and cherish them with your heart."
"Don't keep mother waiting too long, okay?"
Seeing this, Meng Wei's eyes flashed with relief. She gently patted the back of Su Ye's hand and said earnestly:
"Mother, Jin Yu understands. When the time is right, I will give you a satisfactory answer."
Su Ye looked at his mother's expectant eyes, an indescribable complexity surged in his heart. He took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
Hearing this, Meng Wei finally showed a satisfied smile on her face.
