"I don't know."
Mu Ziyan looked calm and said, "No."
"Yes."
Yunxiang responded in a low voice and then withdrew.
He raised his eyes to look at Leng Hanfeng standing in front of him and said respectfully, "Master Leng, there are ladies from various families inside.
It is inconvenient for Master Leng to enter."
Leng Hanfeng naturally heard Mu Ziyan's cold word "missing", and then heard Yun Xiang's reply.
His eyes sank slightly and he whispered, "In that case, I will sit in the private room next door.
Please invite me."
The eldest lady is here because it concerns Mu Shizi."
Yunxiang responded in a low voice, "Master Leng, please" Su Qinrou turned to look at Mu Ziyan, "Sister Mu, you seem to be quite prejudiced against him."
Mu Ziyan smiled lowly and said, "I am right to him."
"Isn't it?"
Su Qinrou saw it clearly.
Mu Ziyan raised her lips and smiled, "That's it."
"Sister Mu, you are so cunning."
Su Qinrou curled her lips, quite dissatisfied with Mu Ziyan's answer.
Mu Ziyan couldn't help but smile and said in a low voice, "This storyteller is quite interesting."
"It's just that you said it as if you saw it with your own eyes, but it makes me feel very strange."
Su Qinrou frowned slightly and whispered.
Mu Ziyan raised his eyes and looked at her, "What do you think?"
"What if it's Sister Mu?"
Su Qinrou asked.
"Me."
Mu Ziyan raised her eyes and looked at Yun Xiang walking towards him, "Of course I want to know who told him this."
"Sister Mu, there is someone in front of you."
Su Qinrou felt that only someone who could witness it with her own eyes could explain it in such detail, and must also be involved.
"It's very possible."
Mu Ziyan lowered her eyes, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
Yunxiang came over and said, "Miss, Master Leng, please go to the private room next door to discuss important matters."
"No."
Mu Ziyan flatly refused.
"It's about the eldest young master."
Yunxiang continued.
"So what?"
Mu Ziyan snorted coldly, "Get out."
"Yes."
Yunxiang responded in a low voice and then withdrew.
Seeing Mu Ziyan like this, Su Qinrou's eyes flashed with confusion, but she stopped speaking.
The group of people came out of Fuyuanju and went back to their respective homes.
Mu Ziyan didn't return home all night, and now she was physically and mentally exhausted.
After returning to Muhou Mansion, she went straight to Yanluo Courtyard, immediately took off her outer covering, and leaned on the soft couch to take a nap.
Yunxiang and Biyun looked at each other and backed out softly.
Aunt Cui got the news and came to report, "Madam, the eldest lady stayed up all night and was busy for a long time.
Now she can't stand it anymore and has to rest."

"This child is working so hard at such a young age."
Ms.
Qi felt heartbroken and looked up at Aunt Cui, "What's going on at the Duke's Mansion?"
"Thankfully, the eldest lady caught the little girl yesterday, but I didn't expect that Prince Zhang would risk his own life in order to save the eldest lady."
Aunt Cui said in a low voice.
"This girl, I didn't know she had such ability.
As for Prince Zhang, please prepare some thank-you gifts and ask Xuan'er to deliver them in person."
Mrs.
Qi said in a low voice.
"Yes, madam."
Nanny Cui responded, "But the eldest lady said that she will go to Zhanghou's Mansion to visit Prince Zhang every day until Prince Zhang recovers."
"How could this girl agree so hastily?
This back and forth was not just for others to gossip," Mrs.
Qi frowned and whispered.
"The eldest lady is kind-hearted and doesn't want to owe Prince Zhang for this matter.
She does this to make herself feel at ease."
Aunt Cui comforted her from the side.
"That's what this girl is like."
Mrs.
Qi sighed quietly, and then said, "Leave her alone, she's still young now."
"This is exactly the reason.
After all, Prince Zhang is also the cousin of the eldest lady.
It is not a bad thing to get closer now.
No one in the capital knows about Prince Zhang blocking the sword for the eldest lady last night.
Since everyone knows it, I If the young lady comes to visit, people outside can only say that the eldest lady is a grateful person, and they will not think wrongly."
Grandma Cui followed Qi's words.
"That's true."
Mrs.
Qi nodded and then touched her belly, "As long as the old lady doesn't make trouble, the Muhou Mansion can be considered temporarily stable."
Aunt Cui said in a low voice, "Old Madam, I haven't been making any noise these days."
"It's just a temporary calm."
Qi sighed quietly, "I heard that my uncle Wai Ren is coming back."
"I heard that he handled a major case during his tenure and was appreciated by the emperor, so he was transferred back to Beijing."
Aunt Cui said in a low voice.
"It seems that the Muhou Mansion is about to have another happy event."
Mrs.
Qi curled her lips and sneered.
"Madam, whose girl do you think the old lady has fallen in love with?"
Grandma Cui asked carefully.
"If I guessed correctly, it should be Lan Xiner, the second young lady of the Lan family."
Ms.
Qi said calmly.
"The second Miss Lan is not easy to get along with.
Compared with Mrs.
Cui's temper, I'm afraid she's not easy to mess with, and she can't get rid of the dirt in her eyes."

Grandma Cui didn't know what kind of medicine the old lady was selling in the gourd.
Qi sneered, "I want to take advantage of the Lan family's power, but the Lan family's power is so easy to borrow."
"However, the eldest young master's marriage."
Aunt Cui also thought of Mu Lingxuan.
Some time ago, the Muhou Mansion was full of bad things.
Two ladies died one after another, and the second lady was also crazy.
If it hadn't been for the eldest lady.
With such a good reputation, the Muhou Mansion may have been spread rumors.
"As for Xuan'er's marriage, almost all the marriageable young ladies from aristocratic families are getting married now.
The remaining ones are those who are similar in age to Yan'er, and they will have to wait for two years at the fastest."
Mrs.
Qi also became a little worried, "What's more, , now Xuan'er has just lost his wife, if the marriage is renewed now, what should the emperor think?"
"It's true that this old slave is stupid."
Aunt Cui said in a low voice.
Mrs.
Qi waved her hand and said, "However, because of Yan'er and the Duke's mansion in the Muhou Mansion now, the Emperor may be very jealous.
Xuan'er's marriage may be out of his control."
"What you mean, madam."
Grandma Cui opened her eyes slightly, as if she had thought of something.
"Zhong Hui fell in love with him, but he turned out to be a supercilious wolf.
I think the renewal of the relationship should be slowed down or decided in advance.
Otherwise, Xuan'er's marriage will definitely be in the hands of the emperor.
"Chips."
Qi is not ignorant, but she is unwilling to do many things to the extreme.
However, she has no intention of harming others, but others secretly assassinate her.
Now she had to be cruel for the sake of Muhou Mansion and her children.
"Madam, after a while, you can ask the eldest young master what he is thinking."
Aunt Cui said carefully when she saw Mrs.
Qi's brows frowning slightly.
"Well, let's see."
Ms.
Qi rubbed her eyebrows and continued, "Now, I just hope that this child will be born healthy, and I will feel at ease."
"Don't worry, madam, mother and son will be safe."
Aunt Cui quickly served the ginseng soup and replied with a smile.
"I hope so."
Mrs.
Qi took it with a smile, lowered her head and took a sip.
After Mu Ziyan woke up, it was already evening.
She rubbed her painful forehead and sat up slowly.
Yunxiang heard the commotion and entered with a lantern, "Miss, you're awake."
"Yeah."
Mu Ziyan responded in a low voice, "I'm really tired."
"Miss, dinner is ready."
Yunxiang stepped forward quickly.
Mu Ziyan slowly got off the bed.

Yunxiang took the outer cover and served it carefully.
She simply put it on before leaving the inner room.
"Miss, the third master has made great contributions during his tenure.
The emperor specially recalled him to the capital to fill the vacancy of the Minister of Household Affairs."
Yunxiang said in a low voice.
"When Third Uncle comes back, Muhou Mansion will be lively."
Mu Ziyan said with a low smile.
"Miss, the old lady has sent a greeting to the Lan family.
Tomorrow she will lead the third lady to the Lan family."
Yunxiang replied in a low voice.
After Mu Ziyan washed her hands, she sat down and ate her dinner quietly.
After she finished eating, she slowly said, "I really like the second young lady of the Lan family."
"Exactly."
Yunxiang whispered.
"Then let her go."
Mu Ziyan knew that Lan Xiner was difficult to deal with.
Since the old lady wanted to sacrifice this big Buddha, she was naturally optimistic about the success.
Yunxiang continued, "Miss, there is news from Zhanghou Mansion that Prince Zhang has been resting on his bed today and has taken the medicine on time."
"That's good."
Mu Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, "He was injured because of me, so I can't let him make any mistakes."
"Miss, the young master went to Jingzhao Yinfu Yamen today.
He hasn't come back yet.
He said that he was playing chess with Mr.
Zhang and the winner has not been determined yet."
Yunxiang told everyone what happened today one by one.
Report to Mu Ziyan.
"When did Leng Hanfeng leave?"
Mu Ziyan asked calmly.
"As soon as you left, Leng Dafeng returned to his house."
Yunxiang whispered, "Miss Zhong Er also went."
"Oh."
Mu Ziyan raised his eyes and looked at her, "Where's the Duke's Mansion?"
"After Young Master Biao returned to the Duke's Mansion, he started to eliminate the informants in the Mansion."
Yunxiang continued, "There are some clues."
Mu Ziyan smiled lightly and said, "These are just rare fish.
I'm afraid the real big fish haven't come out yet."
"Miss, when will the eyeliner in Muhou Mansion be cleared?"
Biyun walked in with tea and said with a frown.
Mu Ziyan saw her expression turned ugly and asked with a smile, "Who provoked you?"
"I'm afraid if I tell you, the eldest lady will blame me for being suspicious."
Biyun curled her lips and spoke in a low voice.
Seeing her like this, Mu Ziyan smiled slightly and said, "Okay, don't show off."
"I don't know who is following this slave.
When I turn around, I don't see anyone.
It's really annoying."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Biyun said angrily.
A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Mu Ziyan's mouth, "It seems that someone is restless."
"Miss, do you know who it is?"
Biyun raised her eyes and looked at Mu Ziyan and asked.
"I don't know."
Mu Ziyan whispered, "But I can let you catch her."
"Miss, please teach me a lesson."
Biyun said flatteringly.
Mu Ziyan smiled lightly and said, "The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind you, let Xiaocui keep an eye on you."
"Oh, why didn't I think of that?"
Biyun suddenly understood after hearing this and savoring it carefully, and quickly looked at Mu Ziyan with a smile on his face.
"Miss, I always feel that the storyteller from Fuyuanju today is a bit strange."
Yunxiang said in a low voice.
Mu Ziyan put away the smile on her lips, "Just send someone to keep an eye on him.
A fox will always show its tail."
"Yes."
Yunxiang responded quickly, and then said, "Miss, you have to go to Madam's place."
"I won't go now.
I'll go and say hello tomorrow."
Mu Ziyan stood up immediately, "I should be well prepared in the past few days."
"Miss, I'm going to Zhanghou's Mansion tomorrow."
Yunxiang whispered, "Miss Zhang San's post."
"Remember the backup gift."
Mu Ziyan entered the inner room with a smile, leaned on the soft couch, picked up the unfinished book on the side and started reading.
Early the next morning, Mu Ziyan went to the Qi family's place as usual.
The mother and daughter were chatting happily, so she hurried to the Zhanghou Mansion.
Zhang Qian didn't know why, but he woke up very early.
He had taken leave these days, but thinking about Mu Ziyan coming over, he didn't want to sleep.
Mu Ziyan entered Zhanghou's Mansion.
Zhang Qian had sent the message early in the morning, so she had no trouble entering Zhanghou's Mansion.
When she entered his courtyard, she went straight into the house and saw him leaning on the soft couch.
Looking much better than yesterday, she stepped forward with a smile and said, "Cousin Zhang."
"Cousin Ziyan, you came just in time."
Zhang Qian raised his eyes and saw Mu Ziyan coming in, and said with a smile.
"What are you doing, Cousin Zhang?"
Mu Ziyan asked with a smile.
"Look at this."
Zhang Qian said and handed the scroll in his hand to her.
After Mu Ziyan took it, he flipped through a few pages, his eyes filled with smiles, "I have been looking for this book for a long time, where did Cousin Zhang find it?"
"It's just a coincidence."
Zhang Qi said with a smile, "If cousin Zi Yan likes it, then take it."
"It's just that Cousin Zhang hasn't finished reading yet."
Mu Ziyan thought for a moment, "No, I'll take a look here first.
Anyway, I'll be here in the next few days."
"Very good."

Zhang Qian agreed happily when he saw that Mu Ziyan was not shy and had thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.
"That being the case, today I have responded to Miss Zhang San's post anyway, so I will simply stay at Cousin Zhang's place for some leisure time.
I will go out again when they come one after another."
Mu Ziyan said with a smile, then said Sitting on the chair next to Zhang Yi, he began to read the book in his hand.
Seeing her staying like this, Zhang Qian felt inexplicable excitement in his heart.
He just stared at her quietly, slowly picked up another volume beside him, and started reading too.
There was no sound at all in the room.
It was eerily quiet.
They could hear each other's shallow breathing and the slight sound of books being flipped through.
Apart from that, there was no other sound.
Mu Ziyan looked at the hour for an hour, but she only saw a tenth of it.
She raised her eyes and glanced at the hour, and saw that Zhang Qian was still looking at it.
Then she put down the book and said, "Cousin Zhang, take a break, but Don’t hurt your eyes.”
"Yes."
Zhang Qian responded in a low voice, then put down the scroll and looked up to see that she had already walked over.
Yunxiang walked in with the medicine that had just been cooked, "Miss, the medicine has just been cooked."
"Yes."
Mu Ziyan nodded and responded, raising her hand to take it and placing it in front of him.
Zhang Qian picked up the medicine bowl with a slight smile, but drank it without hesitation, leaving not a drop.
Mu Ziyan nodded with satisfaction.
The two of them saw that it was still early, so there was something exciting to watch tonight, so why not relax now?
She raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Qian, "Cousin Zhang needs to take a rest."
"I'm not tired after lying down for too long."
Zhang Qian replied with a smile, "I heard that Mr.
Mu and Mr.
Zhang played chess for a long time yesterday, and until late at night, the two of them couldn't decide the winner."
"Yes, we must be together again today."
Mu Ziyan smiled and continued, "How about I play chess with Cousin Zhang?"
"That's exactly what I meant."
Zhang Qi responded happily.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, sitting cross-legged, burning sandalwood to soothe the mind.
Mu Ziyan held the black seed in his hand, and Zhang Qian held the white seed in his hand.
That's how it started.
Zhang Yihuan knew that Mu Ziyan stayed in Zhang Qian's yard and never came out.
Now it had been two hours.
She looked at the sky, and it would be noon in half an hour.
A trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, "But if you find out, Well, what is Mu Ziyan doing at my brother's place?"
"I'm playing chess with the young master now."
The girl beside him whispered back.
"Playing chess" Zhang Yihuan snorted coldly, "It's quite enjoyable."
"Third Miss, today is the day for you to post and accept guests.
I think Miss Mu Da stayed here."
The girl continued.
"Who asked her to stay?"
Zhang Yihuan snorted coldly, then rushed out of her yard and went straight to Zhang Yi's place.

Mu Ziyan and Zhang Qian are playing chess at the moment.
Both of them can be regarded as decisive people, but Mu Ziyan is a little more feminine, so every step he takes, he will be a little more cautious.
If given the opportunity, he will be invincible.
On the contrary, Zhang Qian has the masculinity unique to men.
He kills decisively every step of the way, leaving no way for the opponent to retreat.
The two of them were evenly matched, but Zhang Qian's eyes flashed with surprise and admiration because he didn't expect Mu Ziyan to have such careful thoughts.
At this moment, Zhang Yihuan's shout came from outside, "Mu Ziyan, come out."
Mu Ziyan didn't care, but raised his hand and looked at Zhang Qian with a smile, "Cousin Zhang, it's your turn."
"It's a good move to retreat to advance."
Zhang Qian also turned a deaf ear to Zhang Yihuan's shouts from outside and focused on the chess game in front of him.
After the sunspot fell, a dazzling brilliance flashed through his eyes.
Mu Ziyan lowered her head and saw that he had eaten up half of her empire with this move.
She curled her lips and immediately dropped the move.
"Wonderful" Zhang Qian couldn't help but exclaim.
He thought he was sure of victory, but he didn't expect Mu Ziyan to come up with a trick that would completely destroy the wall he had finally built.
The two of them ended up in a draw.
Mu Ziyan smiled and said, "It's a bit more satisfying to play against Cousin Zhang."
"Me too."
Zhang Qian has never been so excited as he is now.
Thinking of the night of her birthday, the sound of her flute merged with the sound of his piano.
At that time, it was as if she had found a close friend.
Now she feels even more This is the person he has been looking for in his life.
Mu Ziyan put away the chessboard, and then said, "Cousin Zhang, we'd better go out and take a look."
Zhang Qian then stood up with a smile and walked out of the house slowly.
He saw Zhang Yihuan standing angrily with his hands on his hips outside the house.
She thought it was Mu Ziyan who came out, so she pointed at him and yelled, "Mu Ziyan, as a young lady from an aristocratic family, you are so shameless."
In the middle of cursing, when he saw Zhang Qi walking out, he quickly stopped cursing and whispered, "Brother."
"You are making such noise in my yard, is this the rule of Zhanghou Mansion?"
Zhang Qian's face darkened and he said coldly.
"Brother" Zhang Yihuan had never seen Zhang Qi reprimanding her like this before.
She looked at him aggrievedly.
When she saw Mu Ziyan slowly coming out, she became even more furious.
She rushed forward and said, "It's you.
If it weren't for you, , and my brother won’t scold me.”
Seeing that Zhang Yihuan was about to rush over without knowing the importance of the situation, Zhang Qian's face became increasingly cold, "I'm not going back yet."
Zhang Yihuan's eyes were wet and she looked at Zhang Ren stubbornly, "Brother, what's so good about Mu Ziyan?"
Zhang Qian said in a deep voice, "She is good at everything."
"Brother" Zhang Yihuan hurriedly stamped his feet and whispered, "She has evil thoughts and vicious methods.
She is just a scheming and vicious woman."
"Zhang Yihuan, you are not allowed to be presumptuous here," Zhang Qian shouted in a low voice, his eyes gleaming coldly.
Zhang Yihuan had never seen Zhang Qian treat her so cruelly before.
She started crying in aggrieved manner, glared at Mu Ziyan angrily, turned around and ran out.
Seeing Zhang Yihuan like this, Mu Ziyan felt that this girl seemed to care too much about Zhang Yi.
She immediately walked to his side and said, "Cousin Zhang, don't be angry."
"I'm fine."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Zhang Qian couldn't tolerate others saying she was wrong, and neither could his sister.
Mu Ziyan didn't know that Zhang Qian was thinking like this.
If he had known, he would probably have mixed feelings in his heart.
He only felt that after this rebirth, some things seemed to be really weird.
She doesn't like to have too many emotions involved.
Except for family and friends, nothing else is important to her.
As for Qi Xuan and Zhang Qi, she regarded them as brothers and friends.
Therefore, she never concealed her temper or anything in front of them.
Zhang Yihuan cried and returned to her yard, smashing the furnishings in the house to pieces.
"Mu Ziyan, I will never let you be so proud."
Zhang Yihuan calmed down and said angrily.
"Miss Third, my cousin is here."
The girl outside reported in a low voice.
"Yeah."
Zhang Yihuan calmed down and sorted herself out before going out of the room.
She saw Mu Zixi wearing a lotus-colored filigree dress, with a pretty face and a hint of frailty.
She was in the hall at the moment.
After turning his eyes and seeing her, he quickly came forward excitedly.
Zhang Yihuan was naturally happy to see Mu Zixi, and quickly stepped forward to greet her, "Cousin."
In the eyes of the Zhanghou Mansion, Mu Ziyan is also the cousin, but the real cousin is Mu Zixi.
Therefore, they call Mu Ziyan Miss Mu, not the cousin.
"Sister Huan'er."
Mu Zixi affectionately called Zhang Yihuan "Sister Huan'er."
The two of them each gave a half salute and then sat down together.
"Sister Xi'er, you are feeling better."
Zhang Yihuan looked at Mu Zixi and asked with concern, "Where is Mu Ziyan's disrespectful, arrogant and domineering appearance?"
The Zhang family were used to being arrogant in the Muhou Mansion, so they still regarded Mu Ziyan as the same Mu Ziyan they once were, and their attitude towards her has never changed, just like the dead Zhang Yirong, and the one who is now seeking death.
Zhang Yihuan.
Mu Zixi felt that returning to Zhanghou Mansion was when she truly returned home.
Whether it was Muhou Mansion or the old house she had just moved to, she was very uneasy.
But as long as she returned to Zhanghou Mansion, She felt that this was her home.
"I'm getting better.
I was very happy when I heard that sister Huan'er is back.
I wanted to come over to visit my sister, but I just moved back to my old house these days and couldn't get away for a while."
Mu Zixi said with a smile, But those eyes were filled with tears.
Zhang Yihuan felt heartbroken when she heard that.
She took out the silk handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, "Mu Ziyan was so cruel that he even drove sister Xi'er out.
She must not forget who is the real master of Muhou Mansion."
"Sister Huan'er, don't talk nonsense."
Mu Zixi quickly covered her mouth.
She must know that walls have ears, and trouble comes from the mouth.
Even though she hates Mu Ziyan deeply, she can't cause trouble at this time.
Zhang Yihuan knew that she had made a mistake, so she just coughed a few times, and then said, "Do you know what happened last night?"
"I heard about it when I came here."
Mu Zixi thought of this and gritted her teeth with hatred towards Mu Ziyan.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Her cousin was hers, and she would never allow anyone to take her cousin away from her.
"Why should she dominate my brother?
She just has a charming face and is used to using tricks.
Sister Xi'er, my brother actually scolded me for her.
Ever since I was a child, my brother has never been cruel to me."
Zhang Yihuan thought Just now Zhang Qian roared at her, and she couldn't help but feel sad.
Mu Zixi was in a daze for a moment as she listened, "Eldest sister is indeed very good.
It's natural for my cousin to like her."
"Sister Xi'er, you are so kind."
Seeing Mu Zixi like this, Zhang Yihuan quickly held her hand, "Since you were a child, your marriage to your cousin has been acquiesced.
Could it be that you just watch your own marriage?"
Your seat was taken away by Mu Ziyan or you don’t like brother at all?"
Mu Zixi's face turned red, she covered her face and cried, "What can I do now that I can't even protect myself, so how can I compete with my eldest sister?"
"Sister Xi'er, you can't be like this."
Zhang Yihuan felt more and more sorry for Mu Zixi and said quickly, "Don't worry, sister Xi'er, I will help you."
"Now I know that only sister Huan'er in this world is sincere to me."
Mu Zixi was moved to tears, hugging Zhang Yihuan and crying bitterly.
Zhang Yihuan gently stroked her back and whispered, "Sister Xi'er, listen to me.
Since you are here now, you are here to visit your brother."
"But in my current state, how can I still have the dignity to see my cousin?"
Mu Zixi said quietly.
"What's wrong with you now?"
Zhang Yihuan snorted, "Sister Xi'er, if you don't want your brother to be robbed by Mu Ziyan, just listen to me now and go to my brother's place."
Mu Zixi hesitated for a moment, raised her eyes to look at Zhang Yihuan, and whispered, "I'll go right away."
"Sister Xi'er, don't worry.
My brother is a cold-faced and soft-hearted person.
Just go ahead."
Zhang Yihuan urged in a low voice.
Mu Zixi had planned this.
Thinking that her cousin had blocked a sword for Mu Ziyan, her heart ached.
Now when she thought of the two of them together, she was even more sad.
Fortunately, she Get up and go straight to Zhang Qian's yard.
When Zhang Yihuan saw Mu Zixi leaving, a smug smile appeared on her lips, and then she went back to the room without looking as sad and tearful as before.
Mu Zixi went to Zhang Qian's yard.
Mu Ziyan was having dinner with Zhang Qian at the moment.
When Mu Zixi came in, he saw the two of them sitting quietly at the same table.
Looking from a distance, it turned out to be so quiet and warm. .
Her hands were shaking uncontrollably, she suppressed the jealousy and hatred in her heart, and walked forward with a smile on her face.
Zhang Qian put down his chopsticks, rinsed his mouth with Mu Ziyan, washed his hands and stood up.
When Mu Ziyan saw Mu Zixi coming, the smile on her lips was very stiff.
Such a forced smile made Mu Ziyan look a little funny.
"Cousin."
Mu Zixi looked towards Zhang Qianrou, her face slightly red and a bit shy.
Then he said to Mu Ziyan, "Big sister."
"Second sister is here."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Mu Ziyan said with a smile, "But it's time for dinner."
"I've used it."
Mu Zixi responded obediently.
When Zhang Qian saw Mu Ziyan looking at Mu Zixi, his smile was particularly sweet, but he smelled an unusual aura.
He didn't speak, but walked out of the house, walked to the yard and leaned on a wicker chair, which was a disguised acquiescence to Mu Ziyan's behavior.
Mu Zixi saw that Zhang Qian was still so indifferent to her, but it was easier than before to say a few polite words to her, but now it was no longer necessary.
She wondered what was so good about Mu Ziyan, why did they all come to her one by one?
Taking her side and turning a blind eye to her Mu Ziyan thought of the relationship between Mu Zixi and Zhang Qian in her previous life.
Now seeing the distance between the two, could this be Mu Zixi's retribution?
When she saw Mu Zixi looking at her with resentment, she just smiled faintly and then stepped out of the room, then sat on a round stool nearby and looked up at Mu Zixi, "Second sister is here to see Zhang Biao."
Brother's" "I heard that my cousin is unwell, and my sister came here to check on me."
Mu Zixi responded in a low voice, standing aside like a little daughter-in-law, weak and pitiful.
But Zhang Qian looked at Mu Ziyan and saw that she was taking the stove from Yunxiang and making tea herself.
He was more or less interested.
Many times, he was more interested than Mu Zixi who only cried and thought about scheming others all day long. , he still likes Mu Ziyan who enjoys life peacefully.
There is always a layer of fog around her that is invisible to others, separating her from everyone.
However, she is always able to bring enough trust and warmth to those close to her.
She has never forced others to do so.
What, even if she was cruel sometimes, it was forced by the situation, but he felt that it was right for her to do that.
Mu Ziyan made tea leisurely according to the tea-making process, while Mu Zixi seemed to have been forgotten, standing aside not daring to move, let alone speak.
Zhang Qian looked at Mu Ziyan's method of making tea, and a smile appeared on his lips, "Cousin Ziyan is well versed in tea ceremony."
"It's not exquisite, it's just a bit of dabbling."
She likes to taste tea, and she likes to make tea even more.
Whenever she feels irritable, she will make tea alone like this, and then savor the fragrance, sweetness and bitterness of the tea.
She felt like she was savoring her life, no, her previous life She handed him the tea cup, "Cousin Zhang, don't drink too much, just one cup is enough."
"Okay."
Zhang Qian took it with a smile, holding the tea cup with both hands and smelling the fragrance, then sipping it gently, the tip of his tongue traced the sweetness and bitterness, and slowly flowed into the throat, showing the slightest sweetness.
"Bitter first, then sweet."
Zhang Qi said with a smile, "This is the first time I have tasted this tea."
"White tea."
Mu Ziyan said with a smile.
There has never been white tea in this world, and it was not her who found white tea in the previous life, but Zhong Xuan.
However, in this life, she found it before Zhong Xuan.
White tea, I bought all the white tea there.
"Cousin Zi Yan, can you leave some for me?"
Zhang Qian was used to eating Maojian, but now he was sipping white tea, which had a slightly different taste.
Mu Ziyan said with a smile, "Today I am just letting Cousin Zhang have a taste.
I will ask the girl to send some over the next day."
"Then thank you cousin Ziyan."
Zhang Qian responded with a smile, looking down at Mu Ziyan and picking up another glass.
Mu Ziyan smiled lightly and said, "When I feel better, I'll keep it for cousin Zhang."
"Listen to cousin Zi Yan."
Zhang Qian smiled heartily, and the warm sun shone on his handsome face, making him look particularly charming.
Mu Zixi had never seen Zhang Qi smile like this before.
At this moment, she was not only happy but also jealous.

She looked at Mu Ziyan's indifferent expression and Zhang Qi's eyes that always fell on her.
She was thinking , she had never seen him smile like this towards her.
Why Mu Zixi really couldn't figure it out.
She had everything Mu Ziyan could have.
Could it be because she was not the legitimate daughter of the Hou family?
Mu Ziyan raised her eyes to look at Mu Zixi's uncertain eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Second sister, I want to try it."
"It's been a bit cold these days, so it's not easy to drink tea."
Mu Zixi coughed a few times and declined softly.
Mu Ziyan just asked casually, and when she refused, he just smiled lightly, and then started chatting with Zhang Qian.
Mu Zixi stood not far away from the beginning to the end, like an outsider, unable to integrate into their atmosphere.
By the time it was almost time, Zhang Yihuan was already waiting outside the house to greet the guests.
When Su Qinrou and Hou Yiyi arrived, they had already left the base to look for Mu Ziyan.
A few people gathered together again, and it was very lively.
Mu Zixi was left alone, sitting aside at a loss.
Zhang Qian was watching the excitement from the sidelines.
Now he was in the yard, so he didn't need to avoid suspicion, so he simply started joking.
After a while, Qi Xueer and Qi Yuer also rushed over.
Mu Ziyan raised her eyes and looked at them, "My cousin and brother will be here later, and everyone will be ready."
"Master Zhang and Sister Lu seem to have something to do today."
Qi Xueer said in a low voice.
"There are some things."
Mu Ziyan whispered, "But that's the Yamen's business."
"Indeed."
Hou Yiyi raised her eyes and glanced sideways at Mu Zixi, who was standing aside, and gave Su Qinrou a look.
Mu Zixi saw Hou Yiyi's malicious look and her eyes flashed slightly.
Just when she was thinking about whether she should leave, she saw Zhang Yihuan walking over holding Zhong Yu's hand.
Mu Zixi seemed to have found a relative now, and hurriedly stepped forward to welcome him happily.
Zhong Yu looked at Mu Zixi.
He was not as close as before.
He just smiled lightly and said, "Sister Xi'er."
"Sister Zhong."
Mu Zixi responded with a smile.
Zhang Yihuan turned to look at Zhong Xuan who was following behind her, and quickly walked into the yard, "Why is it so busy here?"
"Who do I think she is?"
Su Qinrou curled her lips, "It turns out to be Miss Zhong."
Zhong Yu was slightly stunned when he heard Su Qinrou's words, and then said, "Sister Su, there is something in her words."
"How dare you?"
Su Qinrou raised her eyebrows, and then sneered, "Birds of a feather flock together."
"Sister Su, today you and Sister Zhong are my invited guests.
Don't hurt our friendship."
Zhang Yihuan quickly tried to smooth things over.
Seeing Su Qinrou say this, Mu Zixi's eyes turned red and she whispered, "If Sister Su still remembers what happened that day, she feels unhappy, even if I am, why bother bothering Sister Zhong?"
"Look, I started crying before I said anything.
Unknowingly, you thought I had bullied you.
Mu Zixi, besides acting weak and pitiful all day long, what else can you do?"

Su Qinrou asked dissatisfiedly.
"You..."
Mu Zixi didn't expect that Su Qinrou would be so disrespectful to her in front of everyone, so she simply gave up, "How do you think you can be any better?"
Su Qinrou snorted coldly, "I can't learn from your duplicity."
"A man can ascend to heaven with a chicken or a dog.
Now that he is protected by a goddess, Sister Su is also very confident."
Zhong Yu snorted contemptuously, raised his eyes to look at Mu Ziyan who was sitting beside him calmly, and then took Mu Zixi's hand. , "It's better to avoid contamination in such an unlucky place."
As she said this, she turned around and dragged Mu Zixi away.
Zhong Xuan stood there and looked at Mu Ziyan with a smile, and Mu Ziyan met her eyes calmly, with an evil smile on his lips.
Zhong Xuan was slightly stunned, feeling that there was a calculation in this smile that she couldn't see through.
Her eyes sank slightly, and she turned around and left.
Mu Ziyan put down the teacup in his hand and stood up slowly, "Let Cousin Zhang have a good rest.
Let's go out for a walk."
"Okay."
Su Qinrou felt a little unhappy when she remembered Zhong Yu's words.
Hou Yiyi felt that Zhong Yu's words revealed a hidden conspiracy, but she didn't know what it was.
Qi Xueer stepped forward and took Mu Ziyan's hand, "Eldest cousin, Miss Zhong San is a little strange today."
"Cousin, what did you see?"
Mu Ziyan's apricot eyes flashed with a subtle light, and she smiled strangely.
Qi Xueer seemed to have caught something, and then said, "Eldest cousin, this is the Zhanghou Mansion, and she is not afraid of ruining the reputation of the Zhong family."
"What do you know?"
Mu Ziyan narrowed her eyes slightly and asked in a low voice after hearing what Qi Xueer said.
"This" Qi Xueer hesitated for a moment, "I just heard about it."
"Let's talk about it."
Mu Ziyan saw Qi Xueer's expression looking troubled.
It seemed that there was something she didn't know about.
"First cousin, in fact, Miss Zhong San."
Qi Xueer looked at Mu Ziyan, and then her eyes fell on Zhang Qi.
She leaned close to her ear and whispered, "She is not close to her second cousin and Miss Zhang San.
It’s to have the opportunity to meet Prince Zhang.”
"This" Mu Ziyan obviously did not expect Zhong Yu to have such thoughts.
It can be seen that Zhong Yu in the previous life ended up marrying Cui Ming, the crown prince of Cui.
"I'm just hearing what I said."
Qi Xueer knew she was talking too much and quickly defended herself.
Mu Ziyan lowered her eyes and thought about Zhong Yu from beginning to end.
Then she remembered that Zhong Yu seemed to always mention Zhang Ren vaguely every time he was with Mu Zixi.
At that time, She didn't pay attention to it, but now that she thinks about it, it's quite meaningful.
"My cousin has fallen into the water."
Just as she was thinking, a girl's cry came from the distance.
