12 Isn't it that I should be a concubine? How can I be willing!
"What did you say!" Mu Xi's eyes were clear, "Are you going to check me?"
"There must never be anything that violates military discipline in the barracks. Naturally, I want to figure out how you broke into the barracks, and naturally I found that you were tricked in by your relatives. But to my surprise, you can still stand here safely today. Qin Yu looked at the various expressions on her face with great interest and only felt that the woman was not simple.
Mu Xiran gritted his teeth and broke free, but was unexpectedly released by him. "The matter of Mufu has nothing to do with the prince. The prince should not be interested in these things." After saying that, he regained his quiet face and turned away.
Qin Yu looked at her thin back, her thin lips were tightly squeezed, and there was no expression on her face.
Mu Xilan returned to the corridor and didn't say anything. He took Nanxiao directly to Fang Yumo's yard. When he approached the room, he heard crying inside. Mu Xilan hurriedly walked in.
Fang Yumo quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and reluctantly squeezed out a few smiles, "Xi Laan is coming. Just now, I saw that Xiran and King Jing'an are also very familiar, so that we can often meet in the capital in the future. When I said the last sentence, I couldn't hide the bitterness on my face.
Mu Xilan knew that she must have misunderstood something when she heard the words. She sat down beside Fang Yumo and explained with a smile, "When will Yumo make fun of me? I have only met Prince Jing'an twice, and each time we are unhappy.
She turned her head slightly and saw that Fang Yumo's eyes were red. It seemed that she had really cried. When Fang Yumo picked her up just now, her happy mood was full of words. Now she really can't guess what's going on. She grabbed Fang Yumo's hand and said, "What's wrong with my sister?"
Unexpectedly, Fang Yumo, who had always been arrogant, buried his head in Mu Xilan's arms and couldn't help crying with grievances in his heart. "Xilan... I, I, I have been looking forward to marrying a favorite person, but... but..." The rest of the words were suddenly overwhelmed by heartbreaking crying.
Seeing this, Mu Xian could only gently hold her back, "Calm down."
Fang Yumo clutched Mu XiRAN's skirt tightly, and even dropped his tears on Mu XiRAN's body. He cried for a long time. Maybe he was tired again, so he raised his tears and apologized, "XiRAN, your skirt..."
"It's just a skirt." Mu Xian shook his head carelessly.
Fang Yumo squeezed his lips and his face turned pale. After relieving his mood, he slowly said, "Just now, the maidservant beside me went to my father's study and overheard that his father wanted to promise me to the eldest son of the Chu family in the capital, Chu Luo."
"What?! The eldest son of the Chu family. Mu Xi'an was also obviously surprised.
"You should also know that Chu Luo already has a wife. Dad didn't let me be a concubine when he did this. How could I be willing!" With that, Fang Yumo clenched his fist, and the anger on his face became stronger.
Chu Luo, the eldest son of the Chu family of the four major families in the capital, married the young lady of the Shi family two years ago. What Mu Xilan is more worried about is that Chu Luo's character is deep-minded and ruthless.
In the previous life, even the beloved Jun Yi'an suffered losses in Chu Luo's hands. So how could Mu Xiren bear to watch Fang Yumo marry such an unscrupulous man?
"Yumo, we must find a way and never let this matter continue."
Mu Xi'an's tone was affirmative, which inexplicably reassured Fang Yumo, "Xiren, what can you do?"
"Do you know when your father set the date?"
Fang Yumo thought about it carefully before saying, "The day has not been decided yet. Moreover, Chu Luo only came to Xiangcheng yesterday and heard that he would stay in Xiangcheng for more than half a month. I don't think he will be in a hurry at this moment.
Mu Xilan just looked heavier when he heard the words. With Chu Luo's nature, he will never leave room for people. I'm afraid that Chu Luo will announce at tonight's dinner party that it will be too late to stop it. Now that they only have a few hours left, they can only take risks and have a try for the time being.
Walking out of Fang Yumo's room, Mu Xiruan looked up at the still cloudy sky, stroked his frown with his hand, restored his quiet look, and went to the Jinxiu Pavilion.
On the stage in the Jinxiu Pavilion, there was a lively stage of women's favorite drama, and Mu Xi sat at the end with a smile.
Mu Nianqing in front of her turned her head slightly and said in a secluded tone: "The second sister really can't stand loneliness at all. Just now, the second sister was pulling with King Jing'an in the garden, and many ladies passing by here saw it. After saying that, he covered the corners of his mouth with a veil.
"Is it?" Mu Xiran's tone was indifferent, and her face was calm and unable to see emotions. "I didn't expect the third sister to be so talkative. Just now, at noon, the men were eating in the front yard, and the women were all in the Jinxiu Pavilion. There will be no one passing by that winding path.
Looking at Mu Xiqing's gradually changing face, Mu Xiyan continued to say, "In fact, the third sister just wants to see me look ashamed and angry, but unfortunately, I'm not so easy to fool."
Mu Nianqing was choked for a moment when she heard the words. She never thought that Mu Xiyan was so calm. What surprised her most was that Mu Xi ran, who had been fooled by them in the past, also guessed his thoughts.
While Mu Nianqing was secretly surprised, Mu Xilan suddenly smiled. The laughter was crisp and pleasant, boneless and soft, and the voice was just heard by all the ladies present. Everyone looked back in surprise, but Mu Xilan looked at the stage seriously.
Seeing this, the ladies were even more puzzled. While withdrawing their eyes, they saw Mu Nianqing's eyebrows up and gritting their teeth.
How about it? Does the third sister feel that she is different from the dignified and elegant appearance of the past like an actor on the stage? Mu Xiyan's happy voice sounded in Mu Nianqing's ear, and Mu Xi'an still put his hand on her shoulder.
Mu Xiyan's eyes suddenly burst into anger and wanted to get up and leave, but the hand on her shoulder made it difficult for her to get up.
At this moment, a maid rushed in from the outside, came to Mrs. Xiancheng, and leaned down and whispered a few words.
Mrs. County Cheng's face changed, and she suddenly got up and left quickly.
Women like gossip the most. Seeing Mrs. County Cheng like this, they guessed what must have happened in the house. So the women were not interested in the opera on the stage, but whispered to each other.
After about two quarters of an hour, the county magistrate's wife still did not come back, and the women were not interested in watching the play and dispersed one after another. The second wife of Mufu made friends with Mrs. Xiancheng, so she naturally took Mu Nianqing to look for her.
Out of the Jinxiu Pavilion, Nan Xiao looked at Mu Xilan, "Miss, what should we do now?"
"Of course I'm going to see Sister Yumo. Otherwise, those who have intentions should doubt it.
When he was about to approach Fang Yumo's yard, Mu Xiyan looked up and saw the man standing at the door of the moon. The man stood alone with deep facial features. Mu Xian paused under his feet and thought about it in place before he bravely continued to move forward.
After Mu Xi ran closer, he walked straight ahead without looking at the man.
"Girl, please stay." The man actually stopped her.
Mu Xiran turned around, nodded slightly, half lowered his head and made a little timid, "I don't know what's wrong with you?"
"Is the girl the second Miss of the Mu family who has made friends with Miss Fang?" The man's eyes did not leave Mu Xi'an's side face, and his tone was low.
"Exact. If the prince has nothing else to do, the little girl will go in first. It's not a good thing to be targeted by Chu Luo. Mu Xilan always felt that Chu Luo's eyes made her a little overwhelmed, so she stopped talking and went straight in.
Walking into the yard, I saw Mrs. Xiancheng and the second Mrs. Mu Nianqing standing under the stone steps. Mrs. Xiancheng saw Mu Xiran with an unhappy look on her face, "What are you doing here? Yumo doesn't see you now. Let's go."
"Yumo and the little girl are sisters. What does it mean, madam?" Mu Xi'an eyes were pure, and there was no anger on his face.
Mrs. County Cheng snorted and turned her mind arrogantly, "Since the second girl is so affectionate, let's go in and have a look. Don't let outsiders say that I don't care.
Mu Xilan heard the words and passed several people and directly opened the curtain.
