Chapter 073 – Mu Zi Yan is very sought after (Second Shift) (2 / 2)

Jun Qian Che knew about Mu Zi Yan early on, and was more than a little curious about her, especially since what Mu Zi Yan had done in the past few months had been of great interest to him.

Mu Zi Yan knew that there might be the eyes of the Third Prince within the Marquis Mu Mansion as well, so now that she saw the way he was looking at her, she could be sure.

“Please rise, Miss Mu.” Jun Qian Che carefully sized up Mu Zi Yan, although she was young, she had guts and knowledge, compared to his main consort, she still had a bit of vigor, such a woman, after she reached maturity, she was afraid that she would be very sought after.

Looks like he’ll have to plan ahead, and some plans can be changed in due time.

Mu Zi Yan slowly rose, “Thank you, Third Highness.”

“Miss Mu and the cold list of eyes know” Jun Qian Che knowingly asked, he can not see wrong, just now the two in the pavilion platform, Leng Han Feng’s entanglement, her indifference, so that he did not expect is that this girl actually jumped directly from the pavilion platform, when it was really a bright spot in front of his eyes ah.

“Don’t know.” Mu Zi Yan responded in a deep voice, “Such a frivolous son or daughter, there is no need to recognize them in the future.”

Jun Qian Che smiled and raised his eyebrows, only to think that this girl was really, really interesting, and then said, “Leng Pungent Eyes, how did you mess with Miss Mu”

Leng Hanfeng realized that the woman in front of him is actually the Marquis Mu’s daughter, Mu Zi Yan, the person he inquired about early in the morning, a few days ago at the State Duke’s birthday banquet, because of some things did not see her, and now it’s coincidental, but he did not understand why she was so disgusted with herself.

He hastily collected his thoughts and bowed, “I also don’t know why Miss Mu is treating me like this.”

Leng Hanfeng couldn’t help but laugh bitterly when he responded.

Mu Zi Yan only felt a chill as she raised her eyes to Jun Qian Che and said in a low voice, “Third Highness, my daughter is a little tired, so I will leave first.”

“Miss Mu please,” Jun Qian Che sidled up with a modest gentleman’s demeanor.

Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly and smiled faintly at Qi Xuan as she crossed over to his side, then she lifted her steps to leave.

Jun Qian Che turned his eyes to look at Qi Xuan, whose smile was still at the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice, “This cousin of yours is an interesting one.”

Qi Xuan collected his laughter and said in a low voice, “It’s just being a bit naughty.”

“A great lady who dares to jump off the pavilion platform, she is the first.” Jun Qian Che laughed cheerfully, and then he too walked forward.

Qi Xuan and Zhang Staffer exchanged glances, and the two of them then followed along.

Leng Hanfeng eyed Mu Zi Yan’s departing back, his heart seemed to have made some sort of decision, and then he also followed Jun Qian Che to leave together.

Mu Zi Yan went back to the guest room and entered the inner hall alone, then lay on the bed in thought.

Yunxiang and Bi Yun two people thought it was Mu Zi Yan was frightened, worried, remembering the situation just now, the two people are still scared out of their wits, palpitating.

“What’s wrong with Missy” After half an hour, Bi Yun had not yet seen Mu Zi Yan respond, so she became somewhat worried.

“Wait.” Rue whispered.

Qi Xuan rushed over at this moment, with some plasters for bruises in his sleeve, and then stood outside the house, and without hesitating, he raised his hand to knock on the door.

Bi Yun then got up and after opening the door, when she saw that it was Qi Xuan, she hurriedly saluted, “Cousin Young Master.”

“How is cousin,” Qi Xuan asked in a low voice.

“Eldest Miss has been resting since she returned.” Bi Yun said it somewhat euphemistically.

However, Qi Xuan also understood, raised his steps into the guest room, through the hall, stood outside the inner hall, through the tent, softly inquired, “Cousin is awake.”

Mu Zi Yan has always been sober, she just can’t get over that hurdle in her heart, remembering that her days of being thwarted and wandering around in the dark for a thousand years were all given to her by Leng Hanfeng, and even though she was calm again, she couldn’t do anything to Leng Hanfeng to be able to speak calmly and politely.

She took a deep breath and calmed the thoughts that filled her mind, this time she came here for her father and brother, as for Leng Hanfeng, she put it aside for now.

She got up from the bed, and then went out of the inner hall, raising her eyes to Qi Xuan, who was standing by the side, revealing a shallow smile, “Let cousin worry.”

“Cousin has something on her mind,” Qi Xuan asked with concern.

“Cousin, in fact, I came here this time because I have a favor to ask.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to Qi Xuan, but she did not beat around the bush.

Qi Xuan saw that Mu Zi Yan’s eyes were clear, but they were filled with an unconcealable firmness and stubbornness, his heart was moved, and he whispered, “What is it that cousin is asking for?”

“Can cousin send someone to secretly protect my father,” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.

“Auntie,” Qi Xuan couldn’t help but say with some confusion.

Mu Zi Yan then stepped back and then knelt down, “Cousin, it’s considered that I’m begging you.”

“Cousin please rise, it’s just that I don’t understand why cousin is being like this” Qi Xuan looked at Mu Zi Yan in disbelief.

“Cousin may not believe me, father is departing for Funan tomorrow, that place is unsettled today.” Mu Zi Yan continued to speak, “It’s just that I can’t tell cousin the specific reason today, I’m just requesting if cousin can send someone to secretly protect him”

“How many men does cousin need,” Qi Xuan asked in a low voice after a moment of silence.

“Be fine not more.” Mu Zi Yan got up and spoke with a cold face, “When will cousin take office”

“The day after tomorrow.” Qi Xuan saw Mu Zi Yan suddenly mention this matter and then said, “But what are the movements in the court?”

When asked, Qi Xuan can not help but be shocked, knowing that the Mu Zi Yan in front of you is only ten years old, and is still a boudoir woman, and how would know about the matter of the court just do not know why, he felt that the Mu Zi Yan should be aware of it.

Mu Zi Yan continued, “If father and brother have no return this time, the Mu Hou Mansion is going to change hands.”

Qi Xuan frowned, but did not know why Mu Zi Yan would be so worried, just to see her face grave, also, even if nothing happens, more people to protect, always be prepared, so also let cousin feel at ease.

Mu Zi Yan knows that Qi Xuan will not believe, after all, now the status of the Marquis of Mu untouchable, more importantly, the second uncle and the third uncle of the establishment is far less than her father, so there is no one to believe it!

When Mu Zi Yan saw that Qi Xuan had agreed, she then said, “Cousin can you lend me some men and horses”

Qi Xuan looked at Mu Zi Yan, “What does cousin need men and horses for”

“Cousin does not know, in a few days, I will go to the Divine Physician Sect with my master, father has given me some manpower, but I am worried.” Mu Zi Yan know, tell Qi Xuan Mu Houfu crisis, already belongs to the limit, after all, now, she can not make him convinced, even if he told him the other, for fear that it is also just a futile trouble, it would be better for her to borrow some manpower, personally solve.

Qi Xuan thought about it carefully and it was true, so he nodded, “How many men do you want?”

“Thirty people are enough.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.

“When will cousin need,” Qi Xuan continued.

“The sooner the better.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Qi Xuan gratefully, “Cousin, if father and brother can turn around this time, cousin will be grateful.”

Qi Xuan saw Mu Ziyan’s eyes overflowing with gratitude, he was a little embarrassed, thinking that the Marquis’ residence was really going to be in trouble.

Mu Zi Yan continued, “After cousin goes back, he should still remind grandmother and aunt that there are many eyes within the State Duke’s residence, so if you can remove them as early as possible, lest there be endless trouble.”

Qi Xuan nodded slightly, not expecting her to be so cautious at her young age.

After speaking with Qi Xuan, he personally sent him away, Mu Zi Yan’s heart still hasn’t been put down, but is thinking about how to utilize these centaurs.

Seeing Mu Zi Yan’s worried brows, Yun Xiang hurriedly came forward and whispered, “Eldest Miss, Hidden One has come with a letter.”

“Bring it.” Mu Zi Yan said in a deep voice.

Yunxiang will be the letter paper on the ground, Mu Zi Yan read it, eyes a cold, “Second uncle now where”

“The Second Master is in office now.” Yunxiang returned truthfully.

“No, he is not in office today.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes slightly converged as she said in a low voice, “Have Hidden Two find Second Uncle’s whereabouts as soon as possible.”

“The Second Master is not in office,” Yunxiang couldn’t help but be puzzled now.

“What are you still waiting for,” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked coldly at Yun Xiang.

Yun Xiang didn’t dare to delay, and hurriedly went to send a message to Hidden Two.

Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment, and then read that letterhead carefully again, “It’s really like this.”

Yun Xiang then hurried over again, “Eldest Miss, Second Miss Zhong is here.”

“She” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes condensed slightly, “when did she come”

“I don’t know.” Rue shook her head.

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes were cold, she even came silently, which was out of her expectation, she collected the letter paper and put it on the candle flame to burn it out, and then she raised her steps and stepped out of the inner hall.

To see the surplus into the Zhong Xuan, Mu Zi Yan heart cold smile, this two people at the same time to the hot springs villa, is it just a coincidence is afraid of early has been a secret position it.

Mu Zi Yan did not move to sit down, raised her eyes to look at Zhong Xuan, but also did not have a trace of politeness, for these two people, she did not have to be false, nor did she have to pretend, she was the first miss of the Marquis of Mu, compared to a commoner’s daughter, a man of the cloth, the status is really much higher.

She raised her eyebrows lightly and looked at Zhong Xuan, “What is Second Miss Zhong’s reason for coming to my place”

Zhong Xuan did not expect Mu Zi Yan’s attitude towards her was so cold and disdainful, not even a trace of politeness, could not help but be a little puzzled, is this Miss Mu too crazy or simply not deal with her or not see her as a commoner daughter!

Zhong Xuan, however, was not annoyed, but rather suppressed the doubts in her heart and faintly made a half salute, saying with a smile, “But it was only because I knew that Eldest Miss Mu was here that I came to take a look.”

Mu Zi Yan coldly laughed, “I am not familiar with Second Miss Zhong, and for Second Miss Zhong to come here so presumptuously, on the contrary, makes me uncomfortable.”

Zhong Xuan could hear Mu Zi Yan’s mockery of herself in her tone, as well as her disdain for her, and even though she could maintain good cultivation, she really couldn’t smile at Mu Zi Yan at this point.

She glanced at Mu Zi Yan, the smile on the ground at the corner of her mouth stiffened a bit, and she spoke softly, “In that case, then I won’t bother you.”

“See the guest off,” Mu Zi Yan, however, coldly issued an expulsion order.

Zhong Xuan felt self this is self-interested, but, think of Mu Zi Yan is the Marquis Mu’s daughter, she had to endure, all the planning, can not be separated from a one by one pieces, Mu Zi Yan is now undoubtedly a crucial piece.

When Mu Zi Yan saw Zhong Xuan leave, she slapped her palm on the several cases and rose up prancingly, so she turned around and entered the inner hall.

Yunxiang hurriedly followed in, “Eldest Miss, it’s clear, she came with the third prince’s side consort, and she’s in disguise.”

“It seems that she has been conspiring with Jun Qian Che since early morning.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes condensed, more and more she felt that this place was full of conspiracies, should she continue to stay in the hot springs manor to find out or should she leave as soon as possible?

She thought about it, simply stay another day, the day after tomorrow immediately leave, after all, there is nothing more important than father and brother’s life, the day the conspiracy is finally recognized, but father and brother’s life is only once.

She rubbed her brow lightly, her forehead flaring with some pain, and raised her eyes to Rue Xiang, “Keep a close eye on the movements of the manor.”

“Eldest Miss, what exactly is this Second Miss Zhong’s ability” Mu Ziyan had previously asked Yunxiang to keep an eye on Zhong Xuan, but Yunxiang felt that a commoner daughter who had been kicked out of the manor without a care in the world was of no concern whatsoever, but now, she realized that this Second Miss Zhong was indeed not simple.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and said, “She is capable of much more, and if she succeeds in her calculations step by step, she can subvert the world.”

This now made Yun Xiang dumbfounded, really some unbelief to look at Mu Zi Yan, “This”

Mu Zi Yan snorted coldly, “You and go do it.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang turned around and retreated, unable to return to her senses for a long time, it seems that in the future, it is better to be more wary of this Second Miss Zhong.

Bi Yun carefully entered, holding a fragrant bag in her hand, her face red, and approached Mu Zi Yan with difficulty.

“What is it,” Mu Zi Yan looked to Bi Yun and asked in a low voice.

“This was placed on the doorstep by someone unknown.” Biyun said with her head hanging down.

Mu Zi Yan raised his hand and took it, looked down, and then opened the bag of incense, in which there was a chic, small and exquisite bone fan, to be opened, the bone fan exudes a light refreshing fragrance.

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then she put the bone fan back in and looked at Bi Yun and said, “Burn it with a fire.”

“Yes.” Bi Yun didn’t dare to ask more questions, but just complied and turned around, then took a copper basin and burned it instantly.

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, Leng Han Feng, you think you can confuse me again with such small skills!

Leng Hanfeng hiding in the dark, to see Bi Yun will incense bag in, then slightly relieved, do not know why, his heart is a kind of inexplicable tension, standing under the eaves of the corridor for a long time, but saw Bi Yun hurriedly come out, both hands carrying a copper basin, and then squatted in the ventilation of the corridor, the incense bag thrown into the copper basin, in an instant turned into ashes.

Leng Hanfeng looked at the burning flames, his heart was annoyed, when did he miss, this bone fan is extremely rare, if other women look at it, it must be the heart, but, she was indifferent, in the end, where did it go wrong.

At this moment, there was a person standing behind her, clad in a pale pink cloak, revealing that delicate face, gazing at the man with his back turned to her, she slowly stepped forward to lean her cheek against his back, her hands encircling his waistline, “You’ve got a new target again”

The man’s back stiffened and he turned suddenly, collecting the ghostly light from his heart and looking at her with downcast eyes, “How”

“Really,” the woman asked, tilting her head half-heartedly.

“You demonic spirit, don’t you know what’s in my heart” Leng Hanfeng said and then lowered his head to peck on her delicate lips.

“That Miss Mu has a strange temper, just now I went to say hello, she was not half polite to me.” The woman in the cloak was Zhong Xuan, now looking at Leng Hanfeng, telling her grievances.

“Is that so” Leng Hanfeng heard this, the inexplicable condensation of depression in his heart dissipated a lot, so she is not only so to him, so the corner of his mouth also hangs a trace of imperceptible lighthearted smile.

The heart secretly thought, anyway, she is still small today, the coming day will be long, he is not in a hurry.

Zhong Xuan had since seen the predatory light in his eyes, her eyes sunk slightly, but she only smiled charmingly at him, hooking her hands around his neck, “It seems like you’re seriously interested in her.”

“She’s just a child, how can she be compared to you” Leng Hanfeng said and then he turned his body around, wrapped Zhong Xuan in his arms and left silently.

After Bi Yun finished burning, she then entered the house and saw Mu Zi Yan standing by the window in a daze, she carefully walked over, “Eldest Miss, the slave girl has already burned that object.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded, and then spoke, “In the future, whenever you see something unclean, you don’t have to bring it in and burn it immediately.”

“Yes.” Biyun hurriedly answered, and quietly retreated.

Mu Zi Yan stared at the white moon outside the window, but thought a lot, really all the trajectory has changed, and even she also saw Leng Hanfeng and Zhong Xuan three years ahead of time this pair of dogs and men, she is not to speed up the pace too!

At this time, Yunxiang hurriedly walked in, raised her eyes to Mu Ziyan, and said in a low voice, “Eldest Miss, the Second Master is really not in office.”

“Can find out where he went” Mu Zi Yan eyes crossed a flash of realization, the corners of the mouth with a sinister smile, turned around and asked in a deep voice.
