Chapter 228 – Smokey, do you have someone in your heart? (2 / 2)

Mu Zi Yan stood with her arms folded and shook her head with a light smile, just remembering another thing.

Ten days later, Qi Xuan returned with his men and horses, he came galloping on his horse, and when he saw Mu Zi Yan standing inside the barracks, the corners of his mouth raised in a bright smile.

Mu Zi Yan looked at him with a light smile, and her hanging heart was lowered at this moment, he won.

Qi Xuan personally beheaded Ye Geng’s head, but also recaptured the Qi family army stationed in Ruzhou, while the original support for Ye Geng’s Jun Qianhao’s men, as early as after hearing the wind will be retreating, but also withdrew from Ruzhou.

Qi Xuan rolled over and dismounted, his battle robe was stained with blood, and even his face, but it was hard to hide his handsome demeanor, he said excitedly, “Cousin.”

“Cousin, congratulations.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

“En.” Qi Xuan thought about the ten days of vicious battle, whenever he couldn’t hold on, he would think of her, so he had strength again, he absolutely couldn’t lose, so he won.

Up.

Mu Zi Yan turned around and entered the tent, Qi Xuan was stunned, so he followed him inside.

“Cousin, take a good rest first.” Mu Zi Yan said as she came over with a copper basin.

Qi Xuan smiled lightly and changed the armor on his body, and then he turned around and entered the screen.

Mu Zi Yan ordered someone to bring hot water just now, she raised her steps and went out of the tent, looking at the shouts coming from outside, the corner of her mouth hooked up in a faint smile.

In the Northern Amazing Carboxylate, Jun Qianhao’s eyes widened in anger, “Ye Geng actually lost to Qi Xuan”

“Your Majesty, things have come to this, it’s better to defend first.” Zhong Xuan sighed, in the end, Jun Qian Hao’s troops here were too weak, otherwise it would not have been possible to use three against one and yet still lose to Qi Xuan.

“En.” How could Jun Qianhao not know that this was where he was weak.

Inside the capital, since they got the news of Qi Xuan’s victory, Jun Qian Mei was finally relieved, but the emperor’s face was not good.

Qi Xuan repaired for two days, and then led the people back to the capital with great vigor.

Mu Zi Yan had accompanied her since, but Qi Xuan seemed especially happy just because she was by his side.

Yun Fei turned his eyes to look at her, grunting coldly every now and then.

Seeing him like this, Mu Zi Yan laughed lightly and said, “Alright, if you keep humming you’re going to turn into a cow.”

“Hmph.” Yun Fei still snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Qi Xuan warmly said, “Cousin, I’m afraid the road back to the capital won’t be peaceful.”

“I know.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “However, it should be possible to return to the capital without any problems.”

“En.” Qi Xuan nodded his head in response, and the two of them joked and continued on their way.

It’s just strange, this journey is very smooth, there is no abnormal, but let Mu Zi Yan feel strange.

The emperor had sent people there, but unfortunately they disappeared in the middle of the journey, and the matter was not done by Jun Qian Mei, while the emperor found the matter quite strange, so he did not send people there again.

Straight until Qi Xuan successfully returned to the capital and headed to the palace to resume orders, while Mu Zi Yan went back to Marquis Mu’s residence.

When she returned to her own courtyard, she had since washed herself properly, changed into clean clothes, and only then did she lie comfortably on the soft couch for a nap.

After she woke up, she saw Su Qinrou coming to see her.

“Sister-in-law.” Mu Zi Yan looked at her, since becoming a mother, Su Qin Rou became more and more stable.

Su Qinru smiled lightly and spoke, “Sister, but I’m disturbing you”

“No.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and said, “Sister-in-law came over to find me to relieve her boredom”

“En.” Su Qinrou thought for a while and then said, “Sister, I have something to say to you.”

“Sister-in-law please speak.” Mu Zi Yan whispered.

“Sister, I just don’t know what your plans are.” Su Qinruo then said, “You have been away for nearly two months, there is still less than a month’s time, you will be getting married, can you think about it?”

“There’s still January, there’s no rush.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

“How can you not be in a hurry,” Su Qinrou sighed quietly, “I just don’t want you to make a decision you regret,”

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly, “Is sister-in-law happy now?”

“Happiness.” Su Qinrou was slightly stunned and nodded with a smile.

“In that case I am also happy.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “Sister-in-law, your brother and nephew will be in your care, as well as mother.”

“I will.” Su Qinruo nodded her head and responded, “It’s thanks to Meimei’s blessing that I’m able to be so happy.”

“That’s what sister-in-law deserves.” Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and returned.

“Sister, the things in this world is difficult to say, can find a love for the person is too difficult, but the prince of sister’s good I also know some, if this is really your destiny, you will treat him well, if not, you should also have a plan.” Su Qinrou said in a low voice.

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and answered.

Su Qinrou chatted with her for a while, and Mu Zi Yan asked with a smile, “Sister-in-law, my nephew’s name has been taken.”

“Took it, but father said to wait for him to return.” Su Qinrou said with a smile.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “I’m getting married in a big way, and father is going to come back since.”

“Then sister will rest well.” Su Qinrou got up and left Smokefall Courtyard.

Mu Zi Yan looked at her back as she left, a faint smile at the corner of her mouth as she turned her eyes to look at Yun Xiang, “Sister-in-law has changed.”

“Eldest Miss, Eldest Young Grandmother is getting more and more capable now.” Yun Xiang said with a smile.

“It’s all like that after becoming a mother.” Mu Zi Yan had also been a mother and knew that the moment a child was born, she was no longer her own.

Mu Zi Yan suddenly thought of Lin’er, and wondered if she could still run into him in this life, and if he would still be her child, she wondered if she should also find someone to marry in order to be able to see Lin’er soon

In the face of love, she does not seem to have too many extravagant hopes, is this is once bitten by a snake ten years afraid of the well rope she smiled helplessly, not not not love, just have not yet found a person to let her deep love it.

The crisis of the State Ducal Palace this time is considered to be resolved, and the days have also returned to the plain old days, but now the capital city does become more and more lively.

In addition to the great Yan was divided into two countries, making the people’s hearts quite dissatisfied, now the most happy thing is the Chengan County Princess and the crown prince’s wedding thing, see the wedding is approaching, the people are looking forward to it.

Inside the Chapter Marquis’ residence, the Chapter Staffer slowly got up, with the eastwardly tilted wine altar beside him, and he held his forehead, which was flooded with pain, and raised his eyes to look out of the window.

Zhang Tatsuo entered, went up and looked at his disheveled appearance, and whispered, “Big brother, why are you unwilling to speak out”

Staffer chuckled, “Say what?”

“You obviously,” the chapter metatarsal wanted to say, but in the end did not say it.

Staffer laughed lowly, “She’ll marry me if she says so.”

“At the very least, you don’t have to keep it to yourself, you’re like this nowadays, sooner or later something will happen.” Zhang Zatarsan sighed.

Chapter Staffer laughed lowly, “I’m just ashamed that I wasn’t able to protect her.”

“Big brother, the Crown Prince is very good to the Sheriff Lord.

The Sheriff is fine.” The chapter metatarsal said as he looked at him.

“Only because of that am I more upset.” Staffer rose shakily, his robes open and his disheveled hair falling out, his eyes pained as he pressed back the thoughts that ached within him.

Zhang Tatarsal sighed and said, “Big brother, if you are like this, the Sheriff Lord will know sooner or later.”

“I will be careful.” Commenting bitterly, the chapter said, “If I don’t say anything, she can still be close to me as a cousin, but if I do, she’s afraid she’ll be alienated from me.”

“Hey.” Chapter Plantar didn’t know what to say, but just turned away in silence.

Staffer walked over to the piano and slowly played with his eyes closed.

Inside the Mu Marquis Mansion, Mu Zi Yan, however, was thinking about her future retreat.

“Eldest Miss, the slave girl has something to say.” Yun Xiang looked at her and whispered.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly responded, “Speak.”

“Eldest Miss, slave girl doesn’t know how you think, just now the wedding date is near, can’t it be that you really want to get married” Yun Xiang looked at her and asked.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan is also thinking, in the end he should not marry, but since the Ruzhou back, she has already made a decision, marry, if not, she can retreat, but the State Duke House and Marquis Mu how she knows Jun Qian Mou to her good, but because of this, he will be accommodated in every way, if she reversed, then, Jun Qian Mou’s face how to survive at that time, he will certainly deal with the State Duke House and Marquis Mu, so she will not be The loss will not be worth the gain.

“But Missy, haven’t you always disliked being manipulated why don’t you resist this time” Yun Xiang raised her eyes to look at her and asked in disbelief.

Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment and whispered, “Yun Xiang, what do you think happiness is”

“Like the Great Grandmother.” Rue said in a low voice.

“Yes, sister-in-law is very happy, so is mother and father happy” Mu Zi Yan looked at Yun Xiang and asked.

“It’s happiness.” Yunxiang looked at her and said, now understanding her intention, the more so, Yunxiang heart but full of sourness, “Missy, why do you need to condemn yourself like this”

“Jun Qian Mei is different from Jun Qian Che and different from Jun Qian Hao, he has never done me any harm.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

Ruey whispered, “But you don’t love him.”

“Is not love.” Mu Zi Yan frankly said, “I’m afraid that I won’t fall in love with anyone in this life.”

Yun Xiang asked in disbelief, “Eldest Miss, why are you so bitter”

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “Not to love, so as not to be bound by love, not to be driven by love, not to suffer, not to become helpless, not to be able to keep even one’s most precious person in the end.”

Yunxiang was a bit clouded by what she heard, and just looked at her so, whispering, “Eldest Miss, the slave girl doesn’t understand, but the slave girl only wants Eldest Miss to be like Great Young Grandmother.”

Mu Zi Yan light smile, “There are many things in this world can not be both, I only need to guard their own hearts, to guard the side of the family and friends will be enough.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang knew that this was the bottom line of the eldest young lady, the bottom line that she had not been touched by the others.

Mu Zi Yan is not without feelings, just in her previous life suffered too much pain, deception and use, wandering for a thousand years, she has seen too much darkness, so this life, she did not dare to move easily, but also did not dare to touch the feelings, she is alive, just for their own sake, but also in order to keep the people she wants to keep.

She is not omnipotent, and she encounters unsolvable riddles and troubles, but, even so, she is moving forward step by step, little by little, to forge her own abilities and make herself stronger.

She slowly marched to the outside of the courtyard and raised her eyes to look at the sky full of stars, Lin’er, now only you are left.

The next day, Qi Xuan specially came to Marquis Mu’s residence.

“Cousin.” Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and opened her mouth, seeing that his brows were tinged with joy, she knew that this crusade against Ye Geng had brought him great confidence.

Qi Xuan said in a warm voice, “Cousin, grandmother misses you.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan answered softly, “Cousin, I had planned to visit my grandmother this day.”

“If that’s the case, why don’t you come back with me,” Qi Xuan said with a smile.

“Good thing too.” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and said, “Cousin, things went well”

“It’s just a pity.” Qi Xuan felt some emotion when he thought about the generals who died on the battlefield.

Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “Cousin, why don’t we move now.”

“Good.” Qi Xuan smiled and answered, and then returned to the State Duke’s Mansion with Mu Zi Yan.

The old lady of the State Duke was overjoyed at the sight of her, and after joking and laughing for a while, she left her alone.

Mu Zi Yan knew that her grandmother had something to say, so she smiled and sat down, “Grandmother, are you worried about the big wedding”

“You girl.” Old Madam Guo Gong took out a brocade box from within the box and handed it to her, “Smoke girl, this is for you.”

“This is,” Mu Zi Yan asked, raising her eyes to look at her in disbelief.

“This is what the fifth prince left behind back then.” Old Lady Guo Gong sighed and said, “You take it, it’s also considered to be kept as a remembrance.”

Mu Zi Yan took the brocade box, after opening it, a large pearl was placed inside, she raised her eyes and looked at the old lady of the State Duke, “Grandmother, why are you giving this to Smokey”

“I also don’t know, the fifth prince said, when you get married, then will give this to you.” Old Lady Guo Gong looked at her and said, “Originally, I was hoping that you would marry the Fifth Prince, but I didn’t expect that, surprisingly, in the end, you ended up with”

Mu Zi Yan slightly narrowed her eyes, put away that brocade box, got up and left the State Duke’s Mansion.

Waiting to sit in the carriage, she opened that brocade box, and then took out the pearls, this brocade box has a sandwich, to be opened, there is a note placed inside, “If you are well, my heart is enough.”

Mu Zi Yan stared at the note for a long time, her eyes flashed with a touch of gloom, and she put the brocade box away.

“Missy, the pearls,” Rue Xiang asked in a low voice.

“Put it away.” Mu Zi Yan lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the car

curtain, looking out of the car at the street, people walking by in twos and threes, but she vaguely saw a familiar figure.

She thought she was having an illusion, and when she waited to fix her eyes on it, it was gone.

She let down the curtain, lowered her eyes and laughed lowly, “When really, I was overthinking myself.”

“Eldest Miss, but back to the house,” Yun Xiang said as she looked at her.

“No, go to the capital magistrate’s office.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently.

When Niangzi Lu saw her coming, she laughed lowly and said, “Is it possible that something is troubling you again?”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, raising her eyes to look at Niangzi Lu and whispered, “Sister Lu, in your opinion, what kind of person is the Fifth Prince”

“Heavy hearted, obsessed man.” Luna said as she looked at her.

“Is that so,” Muzzy Smoke mused for a moment, “but he seems to me to be a scoundrel.”

Nyonya Lu laughed lowly, “Where’s the scoundrel in you”

Mu Zi Yan was visibly stunned and sighed quietly, “I’ve indulged myself a bit.”

“Smokey, what’s wrong with you,” Nyonya Lu asked in disbelief.

“These past few days, there are always people mentioning him to me, I’m a little overwhelmed instead.” Mu Zi Yan slowly got up, holding that brocade box in her hand, what happened when she was three years old seems to have been erased from her memory long ago, what she remembers the most is only the suffering that she suffered in her previous life, a thousand years of wandering, she really doesn’t remember many things.

County Lin’an died, and it seemed that everything became a bit off from that moment, she didn’t know what it meant, she just felt that she shouldn’t have married Jun Qian Mei like that.

But, in this situation, what can she do if she doesn’t marry?

Niangzi Lu came forward and held her hand, “How come it’s so cold”

Mu Zi Yan slowly leaned against her shoulder, having a moment of trance.

She wondered what she had missed in her previous life or what those who had passed away, who hadn’t paid attention to, were silently doing for her when she was lost

She hadn’t bothered to look deeper, but now what was she going to do about it?

Niangzi Lu just let her lean against her and waited until a long time had passed before she opened her lips and said, “Is your heart still beating?”

Mu Zi Yan froze slightly, covered her palm over her heart, and answered softly, “En.”

“Smokey, you’re taking a gamble by doing this,” Nyonya Lu said, looking straight at her.

“Gambling,” Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment, “I gamble.”

“Could it be that,” Niangzi Lu mused for a moment, “there is actually someone in your heart who loves each other but doesn’t dare to love, but you don’t dare to be sure, and that’s why you’ve acquiesced in this matter.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at her, the corner of her mouth turned up, “No.”

“Yes or no, you know in your heart.” Empress Lu raised her hand and stroked it across her ear, “Don’t look like you have a deep heart like an old demon, but in fact, when it comes to feelings, you are still a child.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at her and snorted coldly, “Who said that”

“Twisted nature.” Lady Lu said with a light smile, “Think about it yourself.”

“I’m going back.” Mu Zi Yan felt herself getting more and more upset, so she might as well just go back and smother herself in sleep.

Niangzi Lu smiled helplessly with a shallow smile and watched Mu Zi Yan leave.

When Mu Zi Yan sat on the carriage, she shoved the brocade box in her hand directly to Yun Xiang, “Put it away, don’t let me see it again.”

“Yes.” Yun Xiang answered with her eyes downcast, only feeling that the brocade box was a little hot.

To be Mu Zi Yan back to the Mu Marquis, into the smoke fall courtyard, really lying on the bed to sleep for a whole day.

Bi Yun came forward and carefully said to Yun Xiang, “What’s wrong with the eldest miss”

“I don’t know.” Yunxiang shook her head and said, “But it looks like Mrs. Zhang said something that made the eldest miss enlightened.”

“Enlightened,” Bi Yun’s mouth turned away, “If Missy heard you say that, she might peel your skin off.”

“It’s the eldest miss who can’t afford to give it up.” Yunxiang laughed lowly, “Eldest Miss is most kind-hearted.”

“That is.” Bi Yun thought for a moment, then said, “But this Crown Prince is really good to Missy, but Missy still seems to be unwilling.”

“There are some things that cannot be said until the last moment.” Yun Xiang said lightly, “And wait and see.”

“Why do I feel that you are becoming more and more like Missy” Bi Yun said as she looked at her with raised eyebrows.

“After following the eldest young lady for so long, there have been changes since then.” Yunxiang raised her hand and pinched her waist, “You haven’t changed as well.”

“Huh.” Bi Yun hastily dodged backward and sighed, “I only hope that the eldest young miss will make plans earlier.”
