After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister

Mu Wan Qing was dressed as cannon fodder playing a female supporting role in a book about a reborn female protagonist.

The heroine was her amazing and talented cousin. She was reborn on the w...

Chapter 291

Mu Wanqing deeply realized that children with parents are treasures. They don’t have to worry about anything because their parents have prepared everything for them, and they have the best food, clothing and shelter.

She moved into the main courtyard which had been vacant for many years, the largest courtyard in the city lord's mansion, located in the center, and the furnishings inside were arranged according to her preferences.

Du Shaoxuan lived in the guest house and was quite disappointed as he had wanted to live closer to Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing happily had a meal with everyone and distributed the gifts she brought one by one. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

That’s right, some of the tribesmen seemed to be hesitant to speak, but Mu Wanqing pretended not to notice it.

As for Mr. Mu and his wife, they wanted to hold her in their hands and coax her, and Mu Wanqing was very happy.

Shiyun Teahouse is filled with the aroma of tea. There is a performance stage in the middle and several jars placed around the stage, which are used for collecting sound.

At this moment, the storyteller was speaking on the stage with spit flying all over the place and his voice rising and falling. The audience was listening with great interest and cheering loudly from time to time.

The first floor is for scattered seating and is now full of people. The second and third floors are private rooms and are very private.

Mu Wanqing sat on the sofa in the VIP box on the third floor and browsed around casually. The decoration was antique and very stylish.

She looked at the table, which was filled with eight dishes of snacks and eight dishes of cold dishes.

Ji Cheng pointed at the plate of braised duck heads, duck feet and duck necks with a smile, "Sister, this is a new product, it sells very well, you should try it."

There were only the two of them in the box, so Mu Wanqing didn't have to worry about her image. She picked up a duck head and ate it. The taste was very familiar. "Is this the braised food in our house? It seems that we added some chili and spicy powder?"

She got the chili peppers from merchants from the Western Regions. With chili peppers, she can develop many new products.

Over the years, Mu Wanqing has left the matter of food to her parents, and at most she has given them some advice.

She has so much to do.

Ji Cheng picked up the duck's paw and started chewing it elegantly. "Yes, there are three flavors: spiced, slightly spicy, and very spicy. This is slightly spicy. Your taste hasn't changed, right?"

"No." Mu Wanqing quite liked the slightly spicy taste, which was just right. "Is this teahouse a family business? It's packed with people."

Ji Cheng said mysteriously, "No, the boss is someone else."

"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door.

Ji Cheng ran to open the door himself, "Come in quickly."

She is a girl in her early twenties, tall, with an upright posture, and she walks with big strides. She has slightly yellow skin and her facial features have a wild beauty.

She was wearing soft women's clothing and was adorned with pearl hairpins, but her every move seemed a little... out of place.

"Meet Princess Qingping, my name is Yunshu."

Mu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized, this is my future sister-in-law?

She couldn't help but take a few glances at her. She was a unique beauty, but a little bit weird.

"Sister-in-law, you asked me to come for tea early in the morning just to meet Sister-in-law."

Everyone's reactions yesterday were strange, which made her wonder, could it be that her second brother had made a mistake again?

I have to say that my second brother has a bad eye for women.

However, since the wedding date has been set, it means that the parents have approved, and she, as the younger sister, has nothing to say.

My second brother is not a child anymore, so it’s fine as long as he likes her. As for the girl... if they don’t get along, they should have less contact with her.

Anyway, we don’t have many opportunities to meet each other. The family lives in three different places and each takes care of their own business.

As long as they don't do anything that harms the family, she will turn a blind eye.

Yun Shu blushed, a little shy, but behaved generously, "I asked my sister-in-law to come and see you."

She looked frank and open, which was pleasing to Mu Wanqing. "We are all family, just call me by my name, no need to be so polite."

Seeing that her tone was gentle and not arrogant at all, Yun Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This future sister-in-law was not arrogant at all.

"I've long heard that Sister Wanqing is a rare and extraordinary woman in the world. Now that I've seen her, I think it's better to meet her in person than to hear about her."

He was quite good at talking and gave Mu Wanqing a little praise.

Mu Wanqing naturally reciprocated the favor, "Second sister-in-law is smart and beautiful, second brother is so lucky."

Both sides were willing to make peace, and the relationship quickly improved with each other's words.

Yun Shu quickly got to the point, "I would like to ask Sister Wanqing for a favor and to be a witness. I want to move our branch out separately and establish a new family tree."

This suggestion was quite fresh. Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, "Huh? Tell me more about the situation."

Yun Shu sighed softly, "I am the only daughter of the Yun family in Dingzhou. The Yun family is a century-old family. Our main branch is gradually dying out, but the side branches are flourishing..."

The main branch has only one heir, and each generation is promising. They have accumulated immense wealth and a very high reputation.

This naturally attracted the covetousness of side branches.

By the time Yunshu's father's generation came around, accidents happened frequently. After finding out that it was a conspiracy by the side branches, he dealt with them severely and finally put a stop to this trend.

To be on the safe side, Yunshu was born as a boy and raised as a boy, learning everything a boy should learn.

Before she was thirteen, she thought she was a boy.

Hearing this, Mu Wanqing couldn't help but rub her forehead. No wonder she looked at her second sister-in-law as a little strange.

Well, he is very much like a crossdresser, dressing up as a pretty girl, but his behavior is casual, more like that of a man.

She is used to being a man, which is understandable.

Mu Wanqing could guess the following story with her eyes closed, "And then they were discovered? The side branch started making trouble and wanted to inherit the main branch?"

In the eyes of the world, only males can inherit the family business, while daughters are like spilled water.

There is not a single male heir to the huge family business, so only the side branches are eligible to inherit.

Yun Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Yes, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. A branch of the family came with several descendants and wanted to be my father's adopted sons and inherit our family business in the future."

He even regarded the main branch's things as his own, and naturally wanted to marry Yunshu off to any family.

Don't marry too high and give less dowry.

Yun's father naturally refused to make such a plan, but the power of the clan was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. After he refused, Yun Shu encountered many accidents, such as being attacked and poisoned.

Just when Xiliang was welcoming investments from all sides, Yun's father weighed the pros and cons again and again and decided to take the plunge and move his family to Xiliang to live, to isolate themselves from the clan's coercion and inducements and to buffer the situation for a while.

Unexpectedly, they were stabbed on the way, and Yun's father was injured while protecting his wife and children, and eventually died.

Before his death, Yun's father passed the family business to his daughter and did not allow her to take revenge.

Mu Wanqing understood immediately after hearing this, "Was it the clan who did it?"

Yun Shu had tears in her eyes. "Yes, my father didn't allow me to take revenge because he was afraid that I would suffer, but this hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable."

Mu Wanqing did not comment on this. This was not an isolated case. Since ancient times, there were countless cases of clans bullying orphans and widows.

If there is no male in the family, then just wait for all your property to be robbed.

"What about establishing a new family tree? They are coming after us?"

Yun Shu's eyes were slightly cold, "Yes, in Fufeng City. I'm worried that they will cause trouble on the wedding day."

Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, "Why don't you chase them away? Second brother should have the power to do so."

"I want to end things with them once and for all." Yun Shu really couldn't stand their constant harassment. It was too disgusting.

However, everything must be done with a legitimate reason and nothing can be said about it.

Mu Wanqing nodded slightly. This was a greeting to her in advance.

"How did you and my second brother know each other?"

She changed the subject so quickly that Yun Shu was stunned, her face flushed. "I do business in Fufeng City. I own this teahouse. We are acquainted with each other."

When she mentioned Mu Ziang, there was light in her eyes and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Mu Wanqing saw this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he really liked his second brother and did not want to use the Mu family's background to suppress the clan.

No matter what, she sincerely hopes that her second brother can live a happy life.

"I am a protective person. As long as they are my family members, I will protect them, provided that they will not stab the Mu family in the back or harm the interests of the Mu family."

This was her promise. Once Yun Shu married into the Mu family, she would be a member of the Mu family and would be within her scope of protection.

Yun Shu was a little happy in her heart, "Thank you, sister Wanqing, your second brother always talks about how wonderful and cute his sister is, which makes me very envious. I wish I had a sister like her."

She took out a box and said, "It's just a small gift as a token of my respect. Please accept it."

They were a few double-sided embroidered round fans, very delicate and valuable. Mu Wanqing accepted them with a smile.

Yunshu felt relieved that this sister was able to get along.

Mu Wanqing had something else to do and left first. When she reached the door, she said, "There is more than one kind of beauty in a woman. Gentleness and gentleness are beautiful, confidence and calmness are beautiful, elegance and generosity are beautiful, free and easy is beautiful, and independence and strength are also beautiful."

Yun Shu stared at her blankly as she left, and looked at Ji Cheng blankly, "Is she...trying to comfort me?"

"She is saying that there is no need to limit yourself, no need to cater to others, and live your true self." Ji Cheng looked proud, "My sister is so strong and gentle, I really love her."

Mu Wanqing always made her feel that girls could also break all the rules and become the brightest stars.

Yun Shu's heart burned, "It's ours."

He was right, my sister was very cute and the best girl in the world.

Mu Wanqing walked around Fufeng City, understanding the people's sentiments and observing everything.

Fufeng City has a strong commercial atmosphere, with shops everywhere and an open-minded people. Women can walk on the streets without wearing veils and will not attract strange looks.

The public security is also good, with patrol teams walking back and forth, keeping an eye on all directions.

Du Shaoxuan came out of a store after buying a few boxes of fine sandalwood. He saw a little kid staggering and throwing waste paper into a roadside trash can. "Education starts from childhood. Mu Zicheng has done a good job. He is growing up very fast."

Mu Wanqing nodded with a smile, "That's right."

Du Shaoxuan's gaze fell to a place not far away. "Hey, what kind of shopping mall is that?"

Mu Wanqing looked in the direction of his hand, but before she could react, the passers-by around her were showing off proudly, "It's the Princess Mall, the most famous mall in Fufeng City. There are two discount seasons every year, and everyone loves it."

"It's opened by Princess Qingping, so of course we have to support her business. I like the eggs given away during every event the most."

Mu Wanqing: ...

Du Shaoxuan couldn't help laughing, "You don't know?"

Mu Wanqing said that her second brother has made progress.

The wedding was held as scheduled. The City Lord's Mansion was decorated with lights and was crowded with guests. Mr. Mu and his wife, and Mr. Mu Zicheng and his wife were very busy.

And, Mu Wanqing didn't have to worry about anything. She was only assigned one task, which was to play with the children!

Okay, she'll just treat it as a vacation.

Outside, there were sounds of gongs and drums and firecrackers; the wedding procession was returning.

The children rushed out to watch the fun, and Mu Wanqing was among them.

Amid the sound of firecrackers, Mu Ziang, with a smile on his face, reached out to the wedding sedan and welcomed the bride out.

"Wait." A clear shout suddenly rang out.

Mu Wanqing immediately perked up. Here they come, the one who’s going to kill them is coming!
