It is irritating Wuxian wasn't being more irritating. Of all times to decide to be a good big brother, why did Wei Wuxian pick when he'd just had his heart smashed like an alabaster jar and when he's enduring his most public disgrace? That is so annoying. Could anyone on this earth have a more obnoxious sibling? What would you wager the man is going to follow him into the other room when he finds the strength to announce to his guests they have to leave and take their wedding gifts with them? What possible crime did Wanyin have done in his previous life to have deserved such a horrible pest?
He takes a heartier drink and closes his eyes. He thinks back to his mother and how she stood against Wen Zhuliu and Wen Chao's mistress so courageously. He squares his shoulders and lifts his chin. "Let's go."
He has the servants summon the wedding guests, at least those not part of the Ouyang family who were already in the process of leaving. He grits his teeth as he bows as humbly as he can to the crowd. "My deepest apologies for the inconvenience and disrespect this has brought to you, but I must ask that everyone return to their own realms now. Lady Ouyang Anju and I will not be continuing our pursuit of marriage and our agreement between our clans has been dissolved. Please take your wedding gifts with you when you go. If you cannot we will make arrangements for repayment at a later time."
There's a surprised gasp and murmur through the crowd. So this was what was causing all the drama earlier? The chatter in the room immediately going rampant with gossip, questions, and theories.
"What have you done, Sandu Shengshou?" The Yao sect leader demands. "I heard shouting and Jin-zongzhu's men were attacked! I heard his voice! Is this why her lady doesn't want to wed you? Are you prone to violence?"
Sizzle. A few sparks of purple emit from Wanyin's clenched fist but apparently there has been some progress from when he was a child or someone would've gotten whipped for that comment. He is however visibly seething. "How dare you ask me that in my house! Get out!"
