Interstellar Era of Gossip

Chapter 101 [Epilogue (Part 1)]

 I'm ready.

　　Director Monte, Xerxes' father, why did he send the invitation? Could it be that the two families who were rumored to be enemies and were about to reconcile were really Xia Er Wei and Monte?

　　Nalun was impatient with the other party's evasive attitude and asked, "If you have to tell it sooner or later, how many batches do you plan to divide it into?"

　　The attendant said with a bitter face: "Director Monte seems to be interested in the old prince..." After a pause of a few seconds, he said in one breath: "These days... he visits every now and then."

　　Nalun was puzzled: "Intent?"

　　The attendant shrank his neck and emphasized: "Rumors, rumors."

　　The old Prince Xia Er Wei lost his wife in middle age, and the old Director Monte also divorced early. The two older elders had some conflicts when they were young, but became close to each other in old age. It is hard not to have impure thoughts.

　　Nalun didn't expect such an outrageous development. He knew very well that his father had no intention of having a twilight romance.

　　Since the death of his spouse, the old prince has been raising his two sons. He lost interest in pursuing love a long time ago and has gotten used to and enjoyed the retired life of a single old man.

　　As for the old director, Nalun had heard some things from Xerxes: Mrs. Richel and Director Monte remained single after their divorce and would occasionally meet for dinner.

　　What kind of imagination is needed to bring these two people together?

　　But... thinking about the various public opinions he has been facing, Nalun sighed again: It is the times that have created people's creativity.

　　He said coldly: "Don't believe unnecessary rumors, and don't spread unfounded speculation."

　　The servant was stunned and complained: "...I didn't mean to spread it." You are the one who is questioning me.

　　Nalun asked indifferently, "What about the invitation?"

　　The servant glanced at him, lowered his head and said nothing.

　　Nalun urged.

　　Squire: "I only know the rumored version."

　　Nalun: "...Speak."

　　The attendant reluctantly said, "It seems that the two of them are going to make it public. The old prince accepted his invitation, so doesn't that mean he agreed?"

　　Nalun: "..."

　　The attendant asked curiously, "Did you really agree?"

　　...

　　Nalun took a deep breath and waved his hand to end the topic - it was stupid to waste time gossiping about family matters with outsiders.

　　The attendant sighed regretfully as he did not get a positive answer.

　　Nalun: "..."

　　We must not tolerate unhealthy trends and it's time to put an end to the gossip culture!

　　Having gained nothing, Nalun contacted his relatives and friends in the imperial capital. It only took him ten minutes to send messages to each of them. They also exchanged the latest news with each other.

　　Xi Jin's fifth attempt to run away from home was declared a failure. His Majesty the Emperor could no longer bear it, so he sent a marriage proposal to the Insect Star people. To show his sincerity, he would return the gold-eating insect Sean who was placed in prison.
