137 Where there is a mother, there is a daughter
"However, this peach can't be eaten." Chu Yunjin gently regretted.
"I really can't eat the peaches on these trees, but Xi Ran also makes people prepare some peaches in the market, which are very fresh." Mu Xilan personally took the plate from Nanxiao's hand and put it on the stone table next to Chu Yunjin. "These foods are all made by Xilan himself. Sisters, please don't be polite."
Under the peach tree opposite, Mu Shu pinched a piece of peach cake and put it in her mouth, slowly chewed it twice, and turned her eyes to Mu Xiyan. "In the past, when she was in Mu Mansion, the second sister was always clumsy, but she didn't expect that now she has learned a lot of flattering methods beside the queen."
Although Mu Qingyang can no longer serve as an official in the court, Mufu has all moved to the capital. With Wan Zhaoyi's favor in the palace, Mufu is now known to everyone.
Although Mu Shu said carelessly, these words still stirred up a lot of waves in the hearts of various ladies. When Mu Xian became the maid of honor beside the queen, she made those beautiful women jealous, and it was rumored that Mu Xian climbed to the queen's favor through the queen's nostalgia for Zhaohua.
Now that Mu Shu has said this, she clearly confirmed Mu Xi's greed for glory and wealth.
"Don't talk nonsense, the second sister just had to face such a situation at the beginning." Mu Nianqing deliberately stared at Mu Shu, and her tone was surprisingly soft. "It's not too much to use some means."
"Speaking of this, Xi ran remembered that the third sister still used her beauty to escape from the palace. Compared with the third sister's means of not being able to get on the stage, it's not too much for Xi Rian to want to find her own place for herself. Mu Xiran did not put the sarcasm of the two in his heart at all, but calmly replied.
After all, few people wanted to know how Mu Nianqing left the palace at the beginning. Now when they heard Mu Xiyan's words, they all looked at Mu Nianqing with surprise and wanted to know that Mu Nianqing took advantage of his beauty to climb to the man to get out of the palace.
Mu Nianqing was counterattacked by Mu Xiyan without preparation. It was difficult to resist. She could only maintain the dignity on her face and drink tea slowly. She didn't expect that the strong bitterness was full of every part of her mouth. She almost spit it out, but for her own upbringing, she still swallowed it.
Mu Xiyan's clear eyes brushed the stiffness of the corners of Mu Nianqing's mouth and covered her lips with a smile. "I don't know how the marriage between the fifth prince and the third sister is. Xi Rian can't wait to see the third sister get married."
In this way, the ladies knew that the man was the fifth prince, and they all thought of the fact that the sixth prince married the second lady of the Chu family at that time. It was originally the marriage between the fifth prince and Chu Yinruo. Thinking about this, they guessed that Mu Nianqing must have intervened halfway and took away the fifth prince.
As a result, the ladies' eyes on Mu Nianqing have completely changed. After all, the people who take away the love of others are annoying, just like the original Yuan family.
"If you have a mother, you have a daughter. I heard from my mother that the original family was also the husband who took his aunt. I didn't expect that Miss Mu Jiasan is also a person who likes to grab her husband. It was Su Heyou who spoke. After so many years in Su's house, she naturally knew what happened in those years.
Until this time, the dignity maintained on Mu Nianqing's face suddenly disappeared and changed into a blue and white color. Before he could see Mu Xiran's face, he stood up straight and walked out in a panic.
Because of a trace of breeze, Mu Xi'an's shoulders couldn't help shaking. He saw the sharp eyes of Nianhua waiting beside him. He hurriedly tied the cloak in his hand to Mu Xijian. Everyone was a little curious.
"What's going on? Why are your hands so cold? Chu Yunjin felt that his tentacles were chilly.
"It's okay, but I've been feeling a little bad recently." Mu Xian poured a cup of hot tea and put it in his hand to keep warm.
And Nianhua muttered, "It's not the second lady of Mufu, who has poisoned the nightmare..."
Mu Xian quickly turned his head and scolded, "Nianhua! This is a family matter. How can you talk nonsense?
Chu Yunjin, who often wanders outside, was shocked to hear the poison of nightmares. "The poison of nightmares is extremely powerful, and even after the poison is cleared, it will hurt his body. I didn't expect... the second lady of Mufu is so vicious." Then he turned his head and said to the maidservant behind him, "Lanqiu, go back and bring all the Korean ginseng in my room."
"Miss Chu..." Mu Xilan never thought that Chu Yunjin would be like this.
"I've been doing very well outside all year round. These Korean ginsengs are also left. Why don't I bring them to you?" Before Mu Xilan refused again, Chu Yunjin said again, "Since you are not in good health, go back to the house and sit down first. I'll help you in."
Mu Xi'an smiled apologetically, "I hope you don't blame Xi'an for being rude."
Seeing that Mu Xi'an's face was sickly white, no one dared to come out to sing against the tune. They all nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
Entering the room, Mu Xilan pulled Chu Yunjin into the inner room and sat down. After the two said a few words, Nan Shi came in with a food box and knew it was soup just by smelling it.
Nanshi took out the soup in the food box and went to the inner room, poured all the soup into the rich tree, and then returned, opened the dark compartment in the food box, took out a small bowl of soup and put it next to Mu Xi.
Chu Yunjin looked at the rich tree again and found that the leaves had turned yellow.
"All the soups have been poured into it in the past few days, but I didn't expect that this little Yifu also had evil intentions." Mu Xian didn't even frown, so she took a sip of the soup.
"It's no wonder you pretend to be weak and come back to the room to drink medicine." Only then did Chu Yunjin understand Mu Xilan's behavior just now.
Mu Xian shook his head with a smile, "It's not important to drink medicine." With a faint sentence, she continued to ask, "Can Miss Chu play chess?"
"Natural." Chu Yunjin's eyes bent.
When Nan Xiao heard the words, he went into the inner room and took out the chessboard and put it in front of them.
Chu Yunjin's eyes lit up at the sight of the black man and the white man. He couldn't help pinching one and picking up the corners of his eyes, "Is this warm jade?"
"Yewell, it was just delivered." Mu Xilan reached out and picked up the black chess piece and fell on the chessboard.
Chu Yunjin narrowed his eyes and saw the corners of Mu Xiran's smiling mouth and said clearly, "This warm jade is extremely rare. Even I haven't had a chance to get such a chessboard and chess pieces. Unexpectedly... The prince is really attentive."
"It seems that Miss Chu is very interested in the prince's affairs." Mu Xi'an is also a gentle acknowledgment.
"You're wrong. I'm interested in both of you." Chu Yunjin followed him and said leisurely, "After all, I have never seen Prince Jing'an smile like that for so many years."
