Chapter 099 – Love Enemies Meet (Second Shift) (2 / 2)

“Many thanks to big sister.” Mu Zi Jing hurriedly got up and obediently stood beside her.

Seeing her like this, Mu Zi Yan said in her heart that it was lucky that she was allowed to come back earlier, otherwise if she stayed for a while longer, this girl was afraid that she would be trained by the old madam to become a sharp and cold sword.

A person, once the heart stored hatred, that will inspire a huge potential, can not be predicted, but very scary, she is clear about this point, so she will understand, at this moment Mu Zijing, the heart is afraid to have buried the seeds of hatred, and has sprouted, just waiting for the results.

After Mu Zi Jing left, Mu Zi Yan stared at the handkerchief and looked at it again and again before saying, “Keep it well.”

“Yes.” Yun Xiang took it with both hands and then put it into the box.

Mu Zi Jing from the smoke fall courtyard out, to be back to her courtyard, the face of the meek has long since disappeared, eyes condensed with the flame of hatred, the look is very scary.

Cui’s death was always a scar in her heart, and for her, only by killing Mu Zi Yan could she avenge Cui’s death.

Shuang Er stood aside and did not dare to speak, for today’s third young lady, she understands, has long been not when that naive and ignorant third young lady, nowadays the third young lady is really too scary.

Mu Zi Jing raised her eyes to look at her, “Big sister is having a good time.”

“Third Miss,” Shuang’er whispered, “The Cui Houfu can’t be counted on now.”

“I know.” Mu Zi Jing sneered, “That’s why I gave Marquis Cui a big gift.”

Shuang’er lowered her eyes and said, “Third Miss, the Third Prince’s side consort is treating you.”

“So what” Mu Zi Jing raised her eyes to look at her, “If the fetus in her womb doesn’t die, it’s me who dies.”

“Yes, it’s the slave girl who deserves to die.” Shuang’er hurriedly knelt down.

Mu Zi Jing turned her eyes to look at her, “Well, nowadays within this marquis, the only person I can rely on is myself, the fact that second sister can’t fight big sister doesn’t mean I can’t fight her.”

“But, now Missy” Shuang’er knows that Mu Zi Yan is not what she used to be, the capital calls her a goddess, even last night’s ship was submerged in a sea of flames, but it was still extinguished, and Missy came out of the cabin in one piece, and the people of the capital say that she is blessed by the gods, so she would not have any injuries. The people of the capital say that she is blessed by the gods, so naturally she won’t have any injuries.

Mu Zi Jing naturally heard, therefore, she will be on Mu Zi Yan born a strong hatred, why she has to stay in the family temple to be tortured, while Mu Zi Yan can be honored by the world.

“So what,” Mu Zi Jing’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Even if she’s a god, I’m going to pull her down from the altar.”

Shuang’er just answered in a low voice, “Slave servant understands.”

This day, Mu Zi Yan had a relaxed and cozy life, so after two days, after Mu Lingxuan fell into the class, said with a smile, “Sister, you guessed well, this matter is really the third prince, the crown prince counterattacked, personally took out the evidence to prove that the third prince was falsely accused.”

“I guess the Crown Prince took the opportunity to eradicate quite a few of the Third Prince’s cronies as well.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she smiled extraordinarily strangely.

“Not bad, but the Crown Prince’s end can’t get any favors either.” Mu Lingxuan continued, “You know, just in these two short days, the Crown Prince’s end also lost quite a few people.”

“It seems that no one is happier than the Emperor.” Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “Today is just the beginning, and the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are just the first step in the chess game.”

“Sister thinks that besides the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, there will be new forces rising” Mu Lingxuan then asked.

“Now say this matter is still early, it depends on the emperor in the end to praise who” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “now the twelfth prince how”

“Consort Yun has taken good care of herself.” Mu Lingxuan continued, “The emperor favors this twelfth prince.”

“Concubine Yun is the sacrifice after all.” Mu Zi Yan sighed quietly, “It depends on whether the sacrifice is worth it or not.”

“Sister, you seem to have thought of many things that I have not seen through.” Mu Lingxuan carefully sized up Mu Zi Yan, why was she able to see through these things

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly, “Brother, do you think I’m strange”

“En.” Mu Lingxuan nodded his head, “It seems like it’s been a bit different since you were bitten by a snake last time.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “Brother, there are some things I can’t say, even if I did you wouldn’t believe me, but what I want to tell you is that all I’ve done is want to guard the Mu Houfu.”

“You girl, this mind is sometimes deeper than mine.” Mu Lingxuan warm smile, “If you do not say, I will not ask, brother only hope that you can live a happy life, some things, but also do not have to hold in the heart, you do not forget, brother is not that incompetent, father and mother will also protect you.”

“Brother, I understand, that’s why I’m telling you this.” Mu Zi Yan had once thought of wanting to guard them with her own strength, but gradually she realized that her own strength was too weak, therefore, she told Mu Ling Xuan what was in her heart and disregarded his suspicions.

Mu Lingxuan raised his hand and touched Mu Ziyan’s hair, “No matter what you have become, in brother’s heart, you are brother’s most beloved sister.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at him movedly, her heart overflowing with warmth.

“Tomorrow but you are going to the State Duke’s Mansion” Mu Lingxuan asked with a smile.

“Since I have to go, the first cousin’s birthday, she is waiting for me with bated breath.” Mu Zi Yan said with a light smile.

“You are the meat and potatoes nowadays.” The corner of Mu Lingxuan’s mouth turned away, “No one in this capital doesn’t know about you, from Calamity to Goddess, it looks like it’s going to give a lot of people a headache.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “Brother, this reputation of mine nowadays, the one who has the biggest headache is the Emperor, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is even a Goddess, the Emperor will not be happy since.”

“Unhappy and how can you still be killed,” Mu Lingxuan raised his eyebrows, “However, you do need to pay some attention nowadays.”

“Brother don’t worry, sister has her own measure.” Mu Zi Yan winked playfully at Mu Ling Xuan.

Mu Lingxuan smiled dotingly, “You, I can’t say anything since.”

Mu Zi Yan looked at Mu Ling Xuan, “Brother, tomorrow you are going”

“En.” Mu Lingxuan nodded his head, “That is such a lively sub, it’s impossible not to go.”

Brother and sister this place to talk to each other, but Mu Zixi there is in tears, looking at the courtyard in front of them, turning her eyes to look at the already packed bag, she hides her face out of the courtyard.

Sister Lu supported Zhang, “Second Mistress, it’s really hard to leave like this.”

“What can’t give up than these things, life is more important.” Zhang’s sort of understand, now Mu Zi Yan ah, she is not down, why should she go to fight it son and daughter are not competitive, even if she won the fight, and what is the meaning, it is better to live so clean.

Mu Zixi stepped forward to look at Zhang, and said with tearful eyes, “Mother, my daughter doesn’t want to go.”

Zhang did not pay any attention to her, but was helped by Sister Lu to sit inside the soft sedan chair.

Mu Zixi saw Zhang’s like this, bit her lip and looked at her indignantly, then turned around and sat in as well, followed by the maids and maids-in-law, dragging the box and leaving the Marquis Mu Mansion like this.

Mu Qingran since that day back will be closed in the study, yesterday went to the old house first, Zhang did not show too much concern to, the heart is dead, since it will not care so much.

Mu Zi Yan learned that the second house had completely moved out, the corner of her mouth hooked up in a faint smile, “Second aunt is an extremely smart one.”

“Eldest Miss, Second Miss’s place” Yun Xiang only felt that Second Miss would come back.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “She’s just looking for death by coming back.”

“Eldest Miss, which one do you want to wear tomorrow,” Bi Yun walked in at this moment with a dress in her hand, breaking the apparently cold and heavy atmosphere in the inner room.

Yunxiang raised her eyes to look at her and said with a smile, “Since it is to be more festive, but it can’t be noisy.”

“Then choose this lavender one.” Bi Yun then unfolded the bodice.

Mu Zi Yan looked at it, “Change the color.”

“The aqua-colored one,” Biyun said, hastily picking up the other one.

“Just this one.” Mu Zi Yan faintly answered.

Bi Yun hurriedly smiled and said, “The slave girl will prepare this.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “In the future, I won’t even make any vermillion-colored dresses in this place.”

“Yes.” Biyun answered in a low voice, then remembered something and secretly screamed that it was not good.

Yun Xiang passed a look to Bi Yun, who hurriedly held the dress and went out.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at Yun Xiang, “Did the people go in”

“Inside.” Rue whispered.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “Zhang Yihuan will definitely invite the Zhong family, and Zhong Xuan will also be there.”

“Eldest Miss, this Third Miss Zhang hates to be liked by Marquis Lady Zhang, and that day she went back and annoyed Marquis Lady Zhang.” Yunxiang said in a low voice, “This time when you go, this Third Miss Zhang is afraid that she will still cause some trouble.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “She’s already a restless one, but maybe she can help”

“Slave girl is stupid.” Yun Xiang returned with downcast eyes.

Mu Zi Yan didn’t say much, but smiled lightly and said, “See what happens when the time comes.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang saw Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed a touch of strange color, so she knew that the eldest young lady had some calculations, since she did not understand, she listened to the orders.

The next morning, Mu Zi Yan went to the State Duke’s Mansion.

Qi Xue’er from outside the house to meet, Mu Zi Yan smiled and got off the carriage, coincidentally, Su Qinrou and Hou Yi Yi also just arrived, a few people separated for a few days, and now see, but still miss it.

Niangzi Lu had come since, and Qi Yu’er hurriedly greeted her, “Sister Lu.”

Lady Lu smiled lightly and said, “Second Miss.”

Qi Yu’er hurriedly held Niangzi Lu’s hand, and the group chatted outside the mansion.

“really lively ah, how can not go in” Chapter Staffer smiled and rolled off the horse, and then walked to their front, see Mu Zi Yan this day wearing a water green dress, eyebrows like a picture, calm and quiet, compared to that day’s bright and lovely, this day is extraordinarily gentle and touching.

Mu Zi Yan looked at Staffer, “Cousin Zhang, why did you come alone”

The chapter reporter slightly froze, knowing that Mu Zi Yan had something in her words, “I came in response to the post.”

“Is that so,” Mu Zi Yan said with a light smile, “bring the post for me to see.”

Chapter Staffer smiled helplessly, and when he did, he took out the post from his sleeve and handed it to her respectfully with both hands.

Su Qinrou and Hou Yi Yi glanced at each other, and looking at the Zhang Staffer’s gesture, the two of them laughed, “Zhang Shizi’s faction this day is really impressive.”

“I’m afraid it’s only like this in front of sister Mu.” Hou Yi Yi also followed and chimed in.

Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips in a shallow smile, and also nonchalantly took the post and glanced at it before handing it to him, “Since it is in response to the post, it is self-evident that you can go in.”

“Gee, I wonder who’s the birthday girl today,” the chapter staffer chimed in.

“So what if I don’t agree, you can’t go in either.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows in triumph, knowing that Staffer was poking fun at her, so she naturally answered with confidence.

“I’d better stay away, just in case there’s a fight later,” Su Qinrou hurriedly tugged Hou Yi Yi back a few steps.

“are standing here to do what do not invite your guests in,” Mrs. Duke of State smiled out, looked at the House outside the perimeter of the several people, and hastened to say.

Qi Xue’er turned her eyes to look at the State Duke’s wife and hurriedly laughed, “Mother, it’s not that the sisters were happy, so they talked for a while.”

“That’s true.” State Duchess saw Mu Zi Yan, extraordinarily cordial, a few steps forward to hold Mu Zi Yan’s slender white hand, “Smoke girl, the old madam can wait for you.”

“Smokey will go and greet grandmother this time.” Mu Zi Yan said with a light smile, where is the same overbearing aura that she had when she was dealing with Staffer just now.

The reporter saw Mu Zi Yan like this, but only a faint smile, and then saw Mu Lingxuan and Zhang Zong came, the three of them first into the residence.

Qi Yu’er led Su Qinrou and Hou Yi Yi, as well as Niangzi Lu into the mansion together.

Mu Zi Yan along with the Duchess of State went to the Duchess of State’s old lady, just into the house, the Duchess of State old lady will smile and open, “Smoke girl, come over and hurry up to let me look.”

Mu Zi Yan smiled as she walked forward and hurriedly bowed, “Smoke child greets grandmother.”

“You this girl, is the people love.” State Duke old lady see her not arrogant, this appearance ah more and more out of the ordinary, look very happy, raised his hand will be her in the arms, heart and liver called.

Mu Zi Yan leaned in the State Duke old lady’s arms, this can only feel what is the grandmother’s favor, she raised her eyes to look at the State Duke old lady, smiled extraordinarily bright and bright, “Grandmother, smoke is very much want to you, originally thought of the birth anniversary that day to come, but because of too much haste, then did not come.”

“You this girl, out of that kind of thing, even thought to see me this old woman.” Mrs. State Duke touched Mu Zi Yan’s white cheeks and said in a low voice, “Smoke girl, too much exposure of the front will attract people’s jealousy, you have to be careful.”

“Smokey took note.” Mu Zi Yan knew that this was Elder Duchess of State mentioning her, so she responded with a smile.

“En, that’s good, it must be lively outside, you go and have fun with them.” Elder Duchess of State said lovingly.

“Smoke’s farewell.” Mu Zi Yan reluctantly left Old Lady Guo Gong’s arms, slightly blessed herself, and then went out of the courtyard.

To be Mu Zi Yan into the hall after, will see the hall sitting in the head of a room of people, but also all the days and Qi Xueer friendship, naturally less than the top ten families of people, only no Zhong family people.

Qi Xue’er got up to welcome her, and after the group sat down, Qi Xue’er smiled lowly and said, “Eldest Cousin, your carousel can be brought here.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lightly, “So you were thinking of my carousel.”

“Eldest Cousin” Qi Xue’er shook Mu Zi Yan’s arm with a few moments of expectation.

Mu Zi Yan smiled and turned his eyes to look at Yunxiang, then saw Yunxiang took a box, took out the carousel in the inside, in addition to that day to see, other people have only heard of, not seen with their own eyes, and now see, can not help but be curious to come over.

Nowadays, men and women are segregated from each other, not far away, Qi Xuan sat at the top, the rest of the people from the guest, a line of people sat down, and then began to chat.

Chapter Staffer through the thin curtain, since he could see Mu Zi Yan’s silhouette, fingertips pinching the wine cup, gently turned, lowered his head and sipped lightly, from time to time to see.

Qi Xuan looked at him, “Chapter Staffer, for the sake of past friendship, you might as well be straightforward.”

“Say what,” Chapter Staffer then slowly turned his eyes to Qi Xuan’s slightly sunken eyes.

“You’re right about Smokey,” the four of them were sitting at this table, so it was easier to talk.

Commenting on the report, she lowered her eyes and said softly, “You didn’t see it coming.”

“I know.” Qi Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and without further words, he tilted his head and drank the wine in his cup.

When Mu Lingxuan saw these two say such words in front of him, the corner of his mouth hooked up in a faint smile, “As a brother, I don’t want her to live a life that is too hard, both of you are not suitable.”

“You and I are just wishful thinking, it’s still too early to talk about this, everything depends on her.” Chapter Staffer raised his eyes to Qi Xuan, “But don’t worry, I’m not going to be a hard ass.”

When Qi Xuan saw him speak so frankly, he no longer had any qualms, “You and I are each based on our own abilities.”

“Tsk.” Zhang Zong looked at the duo in front of him and said with downcast eyes, “Since ancient times, heroes have been hard to get past beauty.”

Mu Lingxuan laughed lightly, “What do you and Lady Lu plan to do”

“Hey.” Zhang Zong sighed quietly, “I don’t deserve her.”

“If your words were heard by sister, she would have to reprimand you.” Mu Lingxuan laughed warmly.

Zhang Zong raised his eyes and looked at him, “Let’s not talk about this today, drink drink drink.”

“Good.” The crowd also felt that the atmosphere was a bit gloomy, so they stopped talking and drank together.

Mu Ziyan’s place was exceptionally lively, Qi Xue’er joyfully took the turntable, and then she proudly explained the rules of the game to the crowd, and the group began to play around.
